Chapter 128: Blood Vortex
🕑 Added 2023-02-05 03:53:30 +0000 UTCThe outside world was shut off from the battle as the blood vortex raged around the two warriors creating a confined and private arena for them to finish their duel.
Jacek’s power was absolutely enormous, and it continued to build with each hit from Xenia. Although Jacek had improved by leaps and bounds in his martial arts, he was nowhere near the tenth-degree black belt level that Xenia had reached years ago.
Xenia had even since begun to close the gap between her and her mother’s skill level at the 10th degree level ascending to new heights within the top level. Xenia was well aware of how powerful Jacek’s punches and kicks were and as such she took great care to dodge them with expert precision.
She twirled and maneuvered her feet in ways that defied human anticipation as she continued to dodge earth shattering punch after punch. Between each of Jacek’s missed attacks, Xenia returned and landed a blow of her own as she dealt out jabs, hooks, and even roundhouse kicks frequently knocking Jacek to the ground.
Xenia expended immense amounts of ki attacking Jacek with such speed and precision; however, she replenished her reservoir from the vortex whenever needed.
On the other hand, with Perfect Warrior constantly activated, Jacek was building more and more ki nearly rivaling Xenia’s power. His biggest problem was finding a successful attack to deal significant damage to her.
His frustration grew as she continued to land hits on him with relative ease in close combat. Although his power was increasing with each blow, his body was also deteriorating. He could only stand for as long as hid body would hold up, no matter how much power he wielded. Xenia knew this having fought him before.
Suddenly, Jacek threw both of his arms in front of himself and fired an enormous amount of ki out of each hand creating bright yellow walls of energy forming a corridor of walls to Xenia’s left and right trapping her in Jacek’s sights.
He then roared with his mouth wide open as he fired a beam of ki from his mouth directly at her. From Jacek’s perspective, he had her trapped with nowhere to run to avoid his devastating attack. The beam blinded him as he fired it, and he could only hope it landed.
Xenia, anticipating the trap, had already begun to step back towards the vortex, and as the beam flew at her with nowhere to go, she slipped into the blood vortex allowing it to whisk her around behind Jacek before she re-appeared slipping out of it.
She created a ki energy blast in her hand and fired it at Jacek’s back knocking him face first into the ground. As he fell, his head turned to the side firing the mouth beam without aim until he collapsed into the ground.
Jacek slowly stood with steam coming off a large bleeding wound on his back from her attack. He turned to face her, and she said, “Does it hurt? Tell me it hurts. That would give me shivers. Your body can handle me, right?”
He spit blood on to the ground and sternly replied, “I’ve trained day and night since we last fought in our sparring match. My body can handle anything now. Including you.”
She moaned and quivered at the sound of his words, and her legs felt weak. She managed to say, “Oh my god, your confidence Jacek. Your body. Your spirit. I can’t wait to have my way with you. Finally, someone who can handle me and the ways I like to play.”
He sneered at her, “I feel strong enough to rip your head from your shoulders and your heart from your chest.”
She ignored his threat and continued to moan, “God yes! I love it when you talk dirty to me, baby!”
He grit his teeth and yelled, “This isn’t a game!”
He then began to collect a massive amount of ki around him as he did before after breaking free from the crumbled rock formation. The ground quaked beneath his feet and he condensed his ki around himself. He then outstretched his hands and focused his attack on Xenia. He planned to trap her in another ball of devastating ki even more powerful than the last. And this time, he aimed to kill her on impact.
Xenia quickly put a pause on enjoying herself and made moves to halt his attack. Although she considered herself a far superior warrior than Jacek, this was an attack he had proven she must take seriously.
She raised both arms and called on extensions of blood from the surrounding vortex. Rather than attacking Jacek directly, she laced the extensions of blood through his gathered ki weakening it and dissolving the cohesion as his attack lost its foundation.
He urged more ki into and in front of his arms to create a deadly energy ball; however, the ki within her blood vortex extension seemed endless in the degree of interference it could manage. Eventually, his attack shriveled to a small ball of loosely collected yellow ki which he was forced to abandon and reabsorb.
He looked to Xenia thinking to himself, “She is a problem. I need to find a way to attack her. And fast.”
She called out to him, “I rather like the design of your attack. Imprison, tease, and then kill. You know, I haven’t been hitting and attacking you just for fun. I’ve been hitting and attacking you, so your Perfect Warrior builds enough power to help you survive what comes next. I think you’re ready!”
She retreated into the blood vortex once again and her voice could be heard echoing and spinning around the periphery, “It’s my turn to return the favor!”
The blood vortex began to glow with a red ki that tore through it as Xenia’s laughter could be heard echoing throughout the vortex as she spun within. Jacek eyed the vortex of glowing blood with a cautious eye knowing that she would attack imminently.
The blood vortex then closed in on Jacek rapidly and crashed upon him trapping him in a dense, swirling ball of blood that flew up into the air with astounding speed.
Xenia bloodbent the ki from the blood allowing the blood to rain down back to the ground leaving a red ball of translucent ki trapping Jacek. He looked down to see Xenia standing there with a large grin.
She yelled up to him, “The tables have turned! Are you ready for what comes next?!”
Without waiting for him to answer, she slammed the ball of red ki down into the ground exploding as it made impact. The explosion sent blinding light for miles as dust and debris along with hurricane force winds followed in the immediate aftermath of the explosion.
Xenia walked slowly to the point of impact and to her genuine surprise found Jacek in one piece. She stood over him with one foot on each side of his torso and her hands on her hips. She looked down and said, “I’m impressed. You had even more energy stored up than I anticipated.”
She knelt down on top of him straddling his waist and ran her hands up his chest squeezing his open wounds as she went. He yelled in exquisite pain giving her great pleasure, “You’re still one piece but its still so painful isn’t it?”
She then bloodbent BloodBane from her back into her hand and activated it, “Now what was it? Proof this fight is over when my sword is through your abdomen?”
She split her double-bladed saber into two sword hilts and slammed both blades down towards Jacek. He raised his ki to meet her blades as she did, and the swords struggled against his defensive ki creating sparks of energy flying from the point of impact as Xenia held both blades against his barrier.
Both warriors grimaced as one desperately gathered power to prevent the swords from stabbing him, and the other gathered power to penetrate the swords through his stomach.
Xenia could see his barrier weakening as she pushed her swords harder and harder until finally she de-activated one of the swords, bloodbending it to her back. She held the other sword with the blade up to her face and licked the blade cutting her tongue as she did with the ki sizzling the surface of her tongue away.
“Mmm, the pain tastes so good.” She retracted the blade from her mouth and said, “It’s your turn to try it, darling.”
She held the sword hilt high above her head with both hands as she pointed the blade downwards at him. She then thrust the blade downwards crashing through his defensive ki barrier and into his stomach. The blade continued through his stomach and out his back as it pinned him to the ground.
He cried with agony; however, he knew he couldn’t move or roll from the pain as it would only cause more pain against the ki blade. Xenia leaned down on his chest carefully around the blade and stroked his face with her hand.
She seductively said, “I hope you like pain Jacek. Because I’m taking you back to my Citadel, and we are both going to indulge in the greatest pleasure on Earth. Lots and lots of painful sex. Over and over again.”
She grabbed his chin and aggressively licked his cheek and moaned.
She then stood up and bloodbent the nearly lifeless Karasu and the gravely wounded Jacek into the air hovering behind her as she began her march back to the Citadel.
Her soldiers cheered as she approached the citadel. The gates opened and Xenia proudly entered as her army greeted her, and she paraded her trophies through the citadel for all to see.
The battle was over.
