Chapter 217: Chapter 217
“Die!” Eru said as he swung his sword through the red-haired woman’s body.
However, after he did that, Eru furrowed his eyebrows, ‘No impact?’ he thought to himself. Eru saw that the red-haired woman was just a silhouette, and the real one was standing on the wall, with her stomach slightly cut. The red-haired woman gritted her teeth before her expression turned to joy. “Hahaha, that was close. If I did not move in time, I would have been cut into two”, the red-haired woman uttered. “If I was a little bit serious, I could have cut you into two”, Eru cheekily quipped. The red-haired woman’s eyes twitched a little, “Being cheeky, huh?” After that, the red-haired woman’s body was surrounded by her scarlet-coloured aura.
The red-haired woman’s scarlet-coloured aura rampaged everywhere, crushing anything it touched. The red-haired woman held her maroon-coloured boomerang out, “Then try to dodge this.” After that, the red-haired woman infused her scarlet-coloured aura into her maroon-coloured boomerang before throwing it toward Eru. Eru squinted his eyes; a golden hue gleamed inside of his amber-coloured eyes. ‘It is slower than before,’ Eru thought while his eyes were following the erratic movements of the red-haired woman’s maroon-coloured boomerang. As the red-haired woman’s boomerang was looming closer at Eru, he suddenly flapped his golden-coloured wings. In an instant, Eru already appeared up in the air, making the red-haired woman’s maroon-coloured boomerang miss completely.
“You think that’s it? No, I’m not done yet”, the red-haired woman said. Then, the red-haired woman waved her hands, moving the maroon-coloured boomerang at Eru. Since Eru was able to follow the movements of the maroon-coloured boomerang, he managed to dodge the red-haired woman’s attacks near effortlessly before he dived down toward the red-haired woman. “Be careful, master!” Meng Huo suddenly shouted. “Huh?” Eru looked behind, finding that a crimson-coloured aura came out from the boomerang in the shape of a spike, heading towards his body. Eru quickly manoeuvred around the crimson spike; however, the red-haired woman’s maroon-coloured boomerang immediately followed him.
“Tch”, Eru clicked his tongue as he continued manoeuvering in the air. “Come, dance for me”, the red-haired woman shouted while waving her hands. Eru kept flying around, avoiding the red-haired woman’s maroon-coloured boomerang. Although Eru could see the erratic movements of the maroon-coloured boomerang, the red-haired woman’s crimson-coloured aura inside the maroon-coloured boomerang kept attacking Eru at an unpredictable angle. While this was going on, Meng Huo was silently recovering from his injuries. The melted flesh on his arms was almost recovered to how it was previously. Meng Huo gritted his teeth in frustration, “Come on, body. Heal faster”, he muttered.
“Hahaha”, the red-haired woman laughed like a maniac, “Is this all that new power brought you? Just flying faster and escaping?” Eru spun in the air, avoiding the red-haired woman’s maroon-coloured boomerang before tucking his wings. He proceeded to dive down towards the red-haired woman with his black sword ready. “Hahaha, that’s the way”, the red-haired woman grinned. “Come”, the red-haired woman raised her hand, instantly summoning her maroon-coloured boomerang into her hand. Upon seeing this, Eru furrowed his eyebrows before infusing his black sword with his aura and Fate Energy.
With a boom, Eru’s black sword clashed against the red-haired woman’s maroon-coloured boomerang. The clash between Eru’s black sword and the red-haired woman’s maroon-coloured boomerang caused a small crater around, nearly trashing the entire training room. Blood spurted from the red-haired woman’s body, but the expression on her face was that of joy. “Hahahaha!” the red-haired woman let out a really loud laugh, “Amazing, amazing. It has been a while since I’ve been hurt this badly.” After that, the red-haired woman looked at the unscathed Eru with a cold gleam in her eyes, “You, you’re the first. To badly hurt me for years. To show you thanks, I will unleash my full power against you!”
After that, the red-haired woman’s crimson-coloured aura flared up. “H-how can it—” Meng Huo exclaimed with his mouth agape when he saw the changes happening with the red-haired woman. A small crystal emerged on her forehead, red in colour. Then, the red-haired woman’s aura turned dark red before her skin changed. The red-haired woman’s body turned fully red with blood while her eyes turned bloodshot. The red-haired woman’s lips curled up into a wide grin before opening her mouth, “Ahh, this feels good”, she said as smoke came out from her mouth. “That appearance, where did I see it before? Why does it feel so familiar?” Eru squinted his eyes as the red-haired woman’s current appearance was familiar to him somehow.
“Beast God constitution?” Meng Huo loudly exclaimed. “Hmm? You’ve heard of this before?” the red-haired woman looked at Meng Huo with interest. “Of course”, Meng Huo snarled, “It’s the sacred constitution of the highlanders. Why did you have it? How did you have it?” The red-haired woman looked at herself before looking at Meng Huo, “Same as you, I underwent a transformation. Where you got the power of an earth dragon, I got the power of the Beast God”, the red-haired woman said. “Now I know where I’ve seen it before”, something inside of Eru’s head clicked, “It’s the same feeling I’ve felt back in the colosseum from the fight against that crazy red-haired fucker” he muttered under his breath.
Then, Eru raised his black sword, pointing it at the red-haired woman, “That transformation of yours, I’ve seen it before. How come you did not lose your rationality? The guy I’ve beaten before lost his rationality completely,” Eru said. “Hmm?” the red-haired woman slightly raised her eyebrows, “You knew about it? Wait, come to think of it, it all made sense now. No wonder I felt something familiar when I saw your face. You’re the winner of this year’s Great Fighting Competition, right?” the red-haired woman said with a smile.

“You’re the winner of this year’s Great Fighting Competition, right?” the red-haired woman said with a smile. “There are rumours within our circle that the GFC champion defeated Zebulon. But, upon hearing that the champion is just some random youth who is not even twenty years old, we decided to ignore it. Who would’ve thought that it would be the young champion who defeated Zebulon and that said youth are standing right before me?” the red-haired woman added. “What? You’re going to have revenge? Is he your relative or something?” Eru shrugged his shoulders. “Revenge? No, no, no. I won’t do something as petty as revenge for someone like Zebulon”, the red-haired woman said as if she was insulted.
“A weakling like him who cannot do anything right is, without a doubt, a waste. For someone blessed with the Beast God constitution from birth, to only have mediocre abilities is a sin. In fact, I want him and his relative to die for being so incompetent”, the red-haired woman added, “I prefer the other guy with blue hair. What’s his name, Astro, I think? He would make a good Archon instead of him.” Eru raised his eyebrows, “You’re not his relative, then?” The red-haired woman furrowed her eyebrows, and her expression contorted with disgust, “Of course not. Being called a relative to that weakling is making my stomach retched”, the red-haired woman said.
“Is that so” Eru rested his black sword on his shoulder before suddenly he disappeared from his spot. Eru reappeared before the red-haired woman, “You let your guard down”, Eru quipped while swinging his black sword upwards. “Me, letting my guard down? Never”, the red-haired woman grinned while swinging her maroon-coloured boomerang downwards. Eru’s black sword and the red-haired woman’s maroon-coloured boomerang met once again, creating a small spark. The red-haired woman exchanged blow for blow with Eru, with neither getting the advantage. In fact, Eru was slightly disadvantaged from this close-quarter exchange.
“What’s wrong? Where did your speed and power earlier go?” the red-haired woman laughed maniacally. “Tch”, Eru clicked his tongue, ‘Even with Fate Energy, this is not enough.’ Then, Eru slightly looked at Meng Huo, finding that his arms had still not recovered yet. Eru sighed before pursing his lips, “In the end, I still have to do it alone, huh” Eru muttered softly with a smile as he steeled his resolve. “Hmm? What did you say? I could not quite hear you”, the red-haired woman said while swinging her maroon-coloured boomerang. “I was not talking to you”, Eru deflected the red-haired woman’s maroon-coloured boomerang away. Then, Eru placed his black sword horizontally, trying to cut the red-haired woman’s body.
“Heh, a good parry. But, not enough”, the red-haired woman raised her left leg, placing it on Eru’s hands, preventing Eru to follow through on his attack. After that, the red-haired woman did a somersault by using her right leg as a spring, creating distance between Eru and the red-haired woman. The red-haired woman let out a grin as she infused her crimson-coloured aura into her boomerang. “Try dodging this again”, she said before throwing her maroon-coloured boomerang at Eru.
