Chapter 1039: Battle Against the Rogue Apostle
Ning frowned. He didn’t know what to do right now.
On one hand, this woman was someone very strong, nearly as strong as him for sure. That meant fighting her wouldn’t be as easy as if he still had his other body.
On the other hand, she was clearly a victim here too. She was being played by one of the constellations as a pawn in its plans.
Ning frowned as he had absolutely no idea who this constellation was at all.
‘Come on, Ning. Hurry,’ he thought to himself. ‘Please complete it quickly.’
He knew Ning wasn’t going to come unless there was an actual emergency since only someone’s life in danger would be more important than what he was doing at that point.
He looked at the crazy woman who flew in the air. She was going for another attack.
A small beam of dark red and black fire flew at him with incredible speed. Ning checked the people behind him and only dodged after noticing that no one was there.
At the same time, the woman came flying at him with her fists together, which she swung like it was a club.
Ning crossed his arm to block it, but the strike still hit him so hard that he fell all the way back down to the crumbled assembly hall that had now been evacuated.
A few of the Apostles ran up to the woman while they looked from the ground.
“Get her, she wants to kill us all,” one of them shouted.
“Attack!”
The few apostles that had gathered suddenly let out a few attacks that went flying toward the woman in the sky.
Ning quickly got back up and ran outside, just in time to see the attacks fall on the woman.
“No, you idiots. Run,” he shouted at the Apostles, not many of which understood what he was saying. “She’s strong. Far stronger than you.”
The ones that understood him frowned, but the others only saw an angry and annoyed person that was only flailing his arms around.
“Run!” Ning shouted as he looked up at the sky. The smoke slowly faded, and the woman emerged with not any damage to herself.
“She’s too powerful for you,” he said as he flew up to in front of them and looked to the sky.
The crazy woman was strong. Too strong. That was nothing like what he had seen before regarding the apostles. Not any of them were supposed to be this powerful.
She had the mana and the strength of someone far stronger than an apostle. As for her speed—
Before Ning could think of anything else, she disappeared and appeared right next to him.
Ning turned around and blocked her right arm, diverting the power in it to the sky. At the same time, he punched her in the guts to make her fall unconscious. However, he might have held back a bit too much as she didn’t fall at all, and only grimaced in pain a little.
At the same time, she punched with her left hand, which Ning made sure not to underestimate this time around.
The woman frowned a little when she saw that he was able to block it this time around.
‘Dammit,’ Ning thought. ‘This is no ordinary apostle. She’s either been given the power by many constellations or one of them gave her a lot of themself. There is no way, one can be this strong without that.’
The apostles behind him got ready to attack, but Ning angrily turned around to shout at them again. “Get away from here!”
His angry gesture seemed to have helped them this time around as they all ran away from this place.
‘Let’s finish this quickly,’ he thought. A small spear came out of his ring and he held it strongly with two arms.
The woman attacked again, but Ning vanished this time around. He appeared behind the woman and slammed at her with his spear.
He didn’t cut her but the attack still hurt her. He moved his spear again and hit her on the head with the butt of the spear.
Then he ducked as the woman sent the blackish fire all around her.
Ning moved up again and slammed the butt of the spear on her head again. He took back the spear and struck her stomach with his palm.
The woman cried out in pain, her giggles already stopping and only anger and pain remaining on her face.
Ning stepped back a bit in the air while the woman growled angrily. He needed to think about what he could do. He certainly couldn’t kill her, but what other choice did he have here?
‘I can capture her,’ he thought. That was the only other choice he had, but that didn’t give him the one advantage that killing her did.
If he killed her, whichever constellation gave a portion of their power to her would lose it forever. If he captured her, however, the constellation could just take it back, not losing almost anything.
Ning couldn’t help but frown. The answer here for him to choose was obvious, but he really wanted to get back at the woman somehow.
“Screw it, I maybe not be able to waste all of your energy, but I can make you lose most of it,” he thought to himself and put away the spear into his storage ring.
Then, he started attacking the woman, who also fought back.
Their clash made booming sounds in the air that shook buildings all around the city. Ning made sure to keep their fight to one area, but there were still quite a few destructions to the location around them.
Fortunately, everyone was evacuated, so there was no loss of life. However, the property damage was a lot.
For the next 5 hours, he fought with the woman continuously and in that time the United Nations headquarters was completely demolished while many of the buildings around them were cracked.
Once Ning saw that the woman was tired and could no longer continue fighting, he finally captured her.
