Destroying My Own World

Aurea dashed forward and appeared right in front of Yu Xi she was confident that it would startle her. When she swung her sword to decapitate Yu Xi, the body disappeared before her sword could cut her head off. She was impressed that Yu Xi could dodge it and she already knew that Yu Xi was on a different level than Lei Wu Xian.

"That wasn't an illusion? She's good," Lillith said as she looked around to find where Yu Xi was hiding. "If I can assume, this is like the Nigh-Omnipotence skill. She could do whatever she wanted inside her own world," Lillith added.

"Yes, but she's just a human, and human has limitation. It's either she can't keep this place for too long, or this place has a maximum radius. Either way, as long as she can't do anything to us, she's running out of time," Aurea said with a huge grin on her face. "I love people with arrogant personalities and make them tremble in fear," Aurea giggled mischievously.

They both wandered around and there was no sign of living after Yu Xi disappeared into thin air. They wondered if they were being trapped there as Yu Xi bought time to use her power to defeat them.

"Are you going to keep hiding? This isn't fun at all," Aurea asked as she spread her arms and showed her vulnerability.

"I'm not hiding. I'm right behind you two, and I have been here the whole time," Yu Xi answered and appeared from the thick purple mist. "You guys walked past me, and yet you didn't know?" Yu Xi asked as she hid her mouth with the hand fan.

Aurea and Lillith were convinced that they were being manipulated which made them unable to see clearly. It felt like they were inside an illusion world, but it felt so real and not at the same time. They didn't know how Yu Xi manipulated them, and how to deal with it or break from it.

"It would be boring if we use our power here, so let's try to have some fun with her," Aurea said as she stood beside Lillith.

"I'm thinking the same thing," Lillith replied and pulled her daggers out.

They both disappeared and reappeared right in front and behind Yu Xi. Aurea thrust her sword right into Yu Xi's chest while Lillith stabbed Yu Xi's back, but she disappeared again, and they both barely killed each other because Aurea almost stabbed Lillith's forehead and Lillith almost stabbed Aurea's heart.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Aurea asked with her eyebrows raised as she retracted her sword.

"Yes," Lillith nodded as she retracted her dagger from Aurea's chest. "Let's see if she can dodge both of us at the same time," Lillith said and then disappeared into thin air.

"Exactly," Aurea smirked and disappeared into thin air as well.

Both of them swung their weapons around and slashed the air as they kept moving around. They both moved faster than the speed of sound and they both were faster than Vincze, ten times faster. They believed their eyes were being manipulated and couldn't see anything, and so all they had to do was sweep every inch of the place.

The moment they both swung their weapons in the same area, something bounced their weapons back. They both were surprised and then realized they were clashing their weapons at each other.

"It's futile. You can't harm me in my world," Yu Xi said and she was right next to them. "But I have to admit, you two are too powerful for me. Since you want to test my power, it's time for me to gather some information," Yu Xi pointed out and swung the hand fan at those two.

A strong wind dragged them away from Yu Xi, but the moment they stomped on the ground, the wind couldn't send them away anymore. They then saw hundreds of silhouettes and shadows around them, staring at them behind the mist.

"What do you think? Are we just seeing things or they're real?" Lillith asked and looked at the silhouettes of swords, spears, and halberds beneath the mist.

"I'll handle this," Aurea said and immediately swung her sword.

She created a projectile attack that moved at the speed of light, but suddenly a barrier stopped it. The shadows were cut in half and it turned out those were real and not an illusion. The shadows started to fly and run toward those two and attacked them.

Yu Xi watched as the shadows were defeated and she realized it was just a waste of time and resources. She then sucked the mist into her body, making her hair rise and floated above her head. The purple mist was circling her body, her veins were popped, and her eyes started to blow purple.

While Aurea and Lillith were busy dealing with the shadows, Yu Xi appeared right above them. She threw a kick at Aurea and that was enough to knock her back a few inches. Lillith was surprised that Aurea who was the strongest could be knocked back by a physical attack.

"Interesting," Aurea grabbed Yu Xi's leg as she glared at her in excitement. "Now you have finally decided to join in!" Aurea threw a punch right into Yu Xi's stomach.

Yu Xi didn't even scream or grunt when she took the punch, and she didn't even throw up blood. She took the punch because she knew she would be fine, and then she threw another kick with her other leg and hit Aurea's head.

Aurea was stunned for a split second, and that only made her more excited, and slammed Yu Xi to the ground really hard. When she was about to grab Yu Xi, Yu Xi flew away and then floated above her with the ominous mist around her.

"Playtime is over," Yu Xi said as she sucked everything, including the shadows that she summoned. "I have gained enough information about you two, but my mission isn't to waste my time against you two," Yu Xi added as she kept floating and the world of mist had disappeared.

Yu Xi reached out her hand, and the mist started to circle and created a portal. When she was about to enter, she heard Aurea's scoff, and so she glanced at her.

"Kneel," Aurea said and her voice faintly echoed and it sounded like a faint whisper.

Aurea activated her [Lunacy] skill to test if it would work against Yu Xi. She saw Yu Xi lose her power and fell to the ground and hit her back on the floor. She then walked toward Yu Xi and grabbed Yu Xi's hair as she pulled her up to look at the face hidden beneath the veil.

"Who said that you can leave?" Aurea asked with a grin on her face as she stared into Yu Xi's eyes. "I'll let you leave once I said you can leave. I'm currently on fire, and you will have to play with me for a bit longer," Aurea whispered, and could see Yu Xi's shoulders tremble in fear because of her voice.

Lillith wasn't bothered and just focused on her surroundings which she found interesting. She realized that the whole building had been destroyed and flattened during their time inside the mist. It appeared they both weren't in a different dimension unlike [Nigh-Omnipotence] skill, and it was more like what Mara actually had, the [Void Cloud].

"Lilly, why don't you go ahead and go to Russia first? I'll catch up with you once I'm done here. I might take a while, so, just go," Aurea asked as she looked at Lillith over her shoulder.

"Alright. Have fun then," Lillith answered and then sheathed her daggers.

Aurea and Yu Xi watched Lillith leave and then she disappeared, leaving her afterimage. Aurea then pulled Yu Xi's hair back and forced her to look up at her who was smiling in excitement.

"Now, what should we do first?" Aurea asked and then showed her massive wings to Yu Xi who was already trembling in fear.

"Wha-what are you?!" Yu Xi asked with her eyes wide open with tears glimmering in her eyes.

"Well. we have all the time to know each other, so let's just take it slowly because I want to know everything about you," Aurea answered and giggled mischievously.
