Alicia’s blade smashed onto Dinah’s but the woman wasn’t pushed back this time. It was apparent that Dinah’s strength dramatically increased with the transformation. It seemed that she wasn’t just a mere immortal lunatic human that they thought she was. Alicia didn’t know why they hadn’t thought of this possibility! If Alexander and Zeres were exhibiting the same symptoms, then surely it would have been logical to think that this woman would be as well. But then again, Alexander and Zeres were not just humans. They had powers from their lineage; a witch and a vampire and halflings at that. It was easy to assume that the transformation was because of their inherent powers.
It seemed it was a mistake to assume that just because this woman was human, she wouldn’t have any special powers.
"Haha, try harder, witch!" Dinah’s loud mocking voice echoed inside the cavern as she swung her claw at Alicia.
Alicia instinctively blocked it with her other sword. However, the moment her blade hit her dragon’s claw, the blade exploded into tiny crystals, showering them both with sparkling dust, as if a glitter bomb had exploded above them.
For a split second Alicia fell in a trance unable to believe that her blade exploded so easily like that. It seemed she underestimated the power of that dragon claw. How strong could she be that she was able to shatter her sword into a million tiny pieces like that?!
Now that she thought about it, Ezekiel, who was directly hit by Zeres’ claw, was still buried under the rubble. It would take a whole lot of power to knock a man like Ezekiel out like that - that was if the man was indeed knocked out. Perhaps, he could also just be pretending in order to not draw Dinah’s unwanted attention again. Well, whatever his reasons, Alicia no longer cared. She was done thinking about him. Her thoughts were now focused on no one else but this troublesome woman. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
"Ha! Is that all you’ve got, you cocky bitch?" Dinah snorted but thanks to her blabbering, Alicia was able to react quickly and she leapt back, away from Dinah’s reach. She put her original blade to her left and a new blade appeared in her right hand. She eyed the woman, like a wary prey, as she readied herself.
"I have to end this now and quickly. I’m done wasting my time on you, ugly witch. I will crush that face of yours!" Dinah said with utter disdain as she looked at Alicia’s face and this time, Dinah was the one to attack.
Their blades collided and Alicia was now being pushed back, overwhelmed by Dinah’s inhuman power. But in that single attack, Alicia realized something. Dinah was not faster than her. Even though Dinah’s strength had increased, her agility remained on par with Alicia’s. She wasn’t quick enough to catch Alicia off guard, giving Alicia enough time to react and defend herself.
Alicia smiled, her lips moving slightly as she chanted a quick spell, one that would increase her strength and also her agility. While her strength would not be nearly on par with the dragon woman, Alicia’s agility would be greater than hers. Alicia was able to easily dodge Dinah’s dragon claw with one swift and elegant movement. She was like a floating white thread, dancing elegantly in the wind.
