The battle began without question.
Or rather, even if Firstborn did not want to fight her, she would never let this chance for revenge slip away. This had nothing to do with the Church's honor, only her personal dignity. For hundreds of years, she had dreamed almost every day and night of settling things with him on a real battlefield.
At that moment, her eyes sharpened, and she charged at Firstborn high above.
They were both Ability Users with nine origin substances. Before he appeared, she and her two elder sisters had always represented the pinnacle of the Church's combat strength in this world. If his sudden emergence had not brought that crushing defeat upon their Church all those years ago,
the Gods' Families would never have been able to stand as their equals today!
In an instant.
A wildly dancing forest of blades filled the entire sky, like a swarm of snakes baring their fangs as they launched a ferocious assault on the figure above.
The battle lasted an entire night.
Although both sides deliberately kept the aftermath of their battle from reaching the city below, the clash between two supreme Ability Users still left all of Clockwork City terrified and uneasy, afraid their battle would send the entire city plunging into the Spirit Realm.
Every high-level Ability User in Clockwork City was roused. Not only the Church's Archbishops, but also numerous Ability Users from the Exorcist Association and the Demon Suppression Corps gathered in the distance to watch the terrifying battle from afar.
Not until dawn
did the battle finally draw to a close with Firstborn's temporary retreat.
But everyone watching could tell that if the battle continued, Jiu would probably struggle to maintain the stalemate, because her aura was already in disarray.
"This is trouble."
