Chapter 35
Nyssa starts to walk towards Kyle, walking now, with normal legs.
Kyle looks at the approaching temptress and finds it hard to take his eyes off of her.
Now Nyssa looks just like a normal woman, with two long legs and a snake-like waist, her body covered only by some dark-green snake-like scales that covers only the most important parts of her body.
Her hair is normal black silky hair. Her body is a perfect combination of not too much and not too little. And her eyes are a mellow yellow that pull you in like a trance. Kyle, not managing to pull his eyes away from those yellow eyes.
So, he bites his tongue, and a bit of clarity comes back to his head. Then he sees that Nyssa is almost next to him, with a smile on her lips.
And with his utmost speed, he runs from her, just in time because Nyssa was pulling her hand back, only hitting his afterimage. She was aiming for his heart, and her hand, now like a spike made from a black-like substance, and she can transform this black like substance however she likes.
Then she looks behind her and sees Kyle looking at her with a angry look.
She starts to smile and says:
"What happened, Kyle? Now why are... 'You' running away from me? Come here, I won't bite... Too Hard."
But Kyle just looks at her and knows that he won't be able to take this fight lightly anymore; he needs to get serious.
So he pulls out Vanisher and he starts to be the wind. Then parts of his body are disappearing as if the wind is taking them.
But the next second, he is in front of Nyssa, the sword's red edge already close to her neck. If it connects, she can say goodbye to her head. But she transforms her hand into a sword and blocks the hit. But not without injury, the Vanisher drawing a little bit of blood from her hand.
Nyssa looks at the blood and says:
"That is a very strong sword you have there, won't you give it to me?"
Kyle looks into her eyes and is tempted to say 'Yes,' but then he feels a cold feeling coming from his sword, which clears his head. Then he backs off, but not without injury. The moment he stopped for that second, Nyssa transformed her other hand and managed to cut his leg a little. The poison not strong enough to do any damage. Kyle looks at his injury and a distressed look appears on his face. He really is weak against these kinds of attacks—mind attacks.
So, he needs to come up with a plan fast, or he will die.
Then he starts sending wind blades from a distance until he thinks for a bit.
And Nyssa is blocking the wind blades with a shield made from her hands. She is also thinking about how she can leave faster from this place.
Kyle says something:
"You won't leave this place alive, I will make sure of that."
Then he closes his eyes and relies only on his wind to show him everything around.
He goes towards her with slow steps, then suddenly, he just disappears and appears behind her with the Vanisher ready for a slash, but she forms a spear and blocks.
Then, when the sword is stopped, some black-like spikes come out of her spear towards his face and body. But just before the spikes make contact, Kyle turns his body into wind and drifts with the breeze. No damage taken, but then a wind blade appears behind Nyssa, so she turns to block it, her hands already transformed.
And when she turns, she sees Kyle with his eyes closed and his body drifting with the wind. She immediately feels something wrong. And she is right.
Suddenly, her back is cut by a sword, almost cutting through her spine. But because she felt something wrong, she was prepared, and she managed to pull herself from being cut in two.
Then she flies into the sky, black blood running from her back, and Kyle is nowhere to be seen, his fake body disappearing with the drifting wind.
But all of a sudden, she also starts to become the wind, parts of her body disappearing with the wind, and then reappearing.
She wanted to mimic Kyle's power later when she would run, because it would be the perfect power for running, and it would last her an entire hour. But now she had to mimic his power sooner, so that means she needs to hurry to leave as soon as possible.
The wound on her back is already starting to close—so strong is her healing—she isn't worried one bit about the wound, she is worried about whether she will be able to trick him.
So she starts to make some tornadoes around them, and some void pockets, meaning completely lack of air in a spherical place, completely invisible. If Kyle goes inside one of those, she would be able to see him immediately.
Then the tornadoes start to destroy everything around them, but they remain only in a few hundred meters around them, disturbing the air and the wind. Now Kyle will be easier to find.
Then she starts to see some traces of him.
So, she raises her hands above her head and starts to send the warm air high into the clouds.
After a few seconds, rain starts to appear. Now Kyle will be even easier to find. She makes a sword in one hand and a shield in another; now she is ready to fight.
But Kyle still doesn't attack her. It's like he just watches her, with no intent to fight. So she says:
"Why are you hiding? Are you afraid of me? Come out and play."
But it seems like Kyle is not even there. She starts to feel something really wrong. Why is he not attacking, not even answering? What is he preparing?
But then she sees him appearing a few meters in front of her. He looks at her and says:
"Nyssa Vexthorn, are you ready to die today? Because it's not nice to leave Devia on the other side alone, isn't it?"
Nyssa just looks at Kyle, not being able to read anything from his face.
She starts to raise her aura more and more, making a sphere around her. She is ready to make a shield at any part of her body in the blink of an eye.
Then Kyle flies towards her while sending wind blades, the tornadoes and the void pockets not messing with his wind powers even one bit. He sends more and more, faster and stronger with every blade. Then he starts to say something to his sword, and the red edge starts to glow.
Nyssa knows she needs to give everything she has if she wants to live, so she starts to make some vines filled with spikes that come out of her back.
Then Kyle reaches her range, and she sends her vines towards him, but he cuts them down like tofu. The vines, stronger than steel, can't resist even one second against the Vanisher's red cutting edge. Kyle continues his advance, unperturbed.
But Nyssa also advances towards him. She doesn't retreat. She knows that if she does, then she will die.
When they reach one another, Kyle strikes towards her neck, and Nyssa strikes towards his chest.
Kyle is faster, so his sword reaches first, but Nyssa just forms a shield from her shoulder, and the vines are also entangling the sword. So when the sword hits the shield, it doesn't manage to cut through. The Vanisher is stopped.
But Nyssa's sword continues towards Kyle's chest, and when the sword hits, it just passes through. Then Kyle's body just turns to drifting wind.
And the real Kyle comes from a blind spot from behind, and the Vanisher just transforms into wind and then appears in his hand. Nyssa thinks, 'Did he give the real sword to a fake body so that he can trick me?'
She knows that she won't escape without injury in this exchange, so she makes some extra scales on her back, hoping that the damage won't be too bad. She also flies forward so the sword doesn't cut her too deep.
But all of a sudden, Kyle from behind her just disappears. Then she knows she is really screwed. Kyle appears in front of her and cuts one of her hands almost from the shoulder.
He was aiming for her neck, but her vines managed to change the sword's trajectory a little bit and pushed her body slightly to the side. That resulted in only a lost arm.
Then an ugly look appears on her face. She is really starting to hate these humans' tricks and games.
But before she manages to make a counterattack, one of her legs also disappears. She looks down with a shocked face, not knowing how that happened. And there she sees an air trap—something that, when pressure is applied to it, would release a wind blade, weaker than normal, but still enough to cut a leg.
Then she sees Kyle flying again towards her.
