Scarlett vs Tiathmet and Lunaria (1)
While scarlett's gaze hardened as she ordered Cryptus to return to the village, taking one other person as his companion. Without hesitation, Cryptus chose Reiza. Together, they set off for Dreadhaven, leaving Scarlett standing alone. She watched them depart, a faint smile touching her lips. "If those two are going, everything should be fine," she thought, a sense of relief settling in her heart.
With a deep breath, Scarlett temporarily severed the connection of souls, as if flipping a switch. The connection was useful, but also distracting. It was like trying to study with a smartphone constantly buzzing with notifications. Every time a villager's soul was in distress, a jolt of pain shot through Scarlett's body, making it impossible to concentrate. To regain her focus, she decided to mute the connection, giving herself a few hours of respite.
As she stood there, motionless and deep in thought, Tiathmet observed her intently. Scarlett's presence was imposing, her strength palpable. "I can't see her face, but there's no doubt she is very powerful," Tiathmet mused, her eyes tracing Scarlett's form.
Tiathmet's gaze lingered on Scarlett's chest, noticing something remarkable. "She's using psychokinesis to keep her breasts in place," she realized. "In battle, clothing or a bra can easily be tored apart and becomes a hindrance, but she's found a way around it. It seems trivial, but controlling psychokinesis at such a delicate level is incredibly difficult."
Tiathmet was impressed. "She's not just making them float in the air; she's maintaining their shape with precision. That level of concentration in the middle of a chaotic battlefield is astounding. Even I might struggle with that."
Tiathmet was undeniably impressed by Scarlett. She didn't want someone of Scarlett's caliber to perish at their hands. If possible, she wanted to recruit Scarlett as one of her soldiers. Deciding to give her a final chance, Tiathmet shouted, "Scarlett Nova! It's not too late. Do you want to join us? Just say yes, and this entire battlefield will come to a halt," her voice carrying across the chaos.
Scarlett, lost in her thoughts, was jolted by Tiathmet's sudden outburst. The interruption made her lose focus, and she felt a wave of irritation. "Can you just shut up for a second? Can't you see I'm trying to think here!" she yelled back, her voice sharp with annoyance. Tiathmet was taken aback for a moment by Scarlett's unexpected anger.
In truth, Scarlett was really thinking of something crucial: the relationship between Cryptus, Tiathmet, and Lunaria. If their mother, Catherine, had summoned Cryptus and he regarded her as a mother, then didn't that make Tiathmet and Lunaria like stepsisters to him? If that was the case, how could she bring herself to kill them?
Cryptus had once saved Scarlett's life and had been a loyal companion ever since. She couldn't harm those who were like sisters to him,right? . The conflict within her was profound and unsettling.
Lunaria, known for her cocky nature, misinterpreted Scarlett's yelling. Infuriated, she activated her unique skill: Vibration. In an instant, she charged towards Scarlett with blinding speed, faster than most could see. She appeared in front of Scarlett with a wide grin. "I'll take your yelling as a 'no' then!" she said with enthusiasm, relishing the chance to fight a strong opponent. Without hesitation, Lunaria threw a punch aimed at Scarlett's face.
Scarlett didn't move an inch. She stood her ground, her expression calm. As Lunaria's fist neared her face, a loud shockwave erupted, sending debris flying and causing a minor earthquake. Even the nearby monsters were thrown off their feet.
Lunaria's eyes widened in shock. "Huh?" she gasped, seeing Scarlett unharmed. There wasn't a scratch on her.
The reason was clear upon closer inspection. Lunaria's punch hadn't even made contact with Scarlett. A very small gap remained between her fist and Scarlett's face. It was Scarlett's invisible psychokinesis barrier, repelling every attack just like Gojo's Infinity.
Lunaria couldn't accept what she was seeing. Gritting her teeth, she channeled all her strength into her arms and began a barrage of rapid punches. In mere seconds, she landed dozens, if not hundreds, of blows on Scarlett. Each punch resonated with a deafening thud, like cannon fire, and sent debris flying in every direction. The ground beneath Scarlett cracked and caved in, forming a deep crater from the relentless assault.
Yet, despite the ferocity of Lunaria's attack, not a single punch reached Scarlett. Frustration gnawed at Lunaria as she bit her lip and retreated to where Tiathmet stood, her breaths ragged with exertion.
Scarlett sighed, raising her sword and pointing it at her adversaries. "I've made my decision," she declared, her voice firm and resolute. "Can you see this sword? If you can make me use it even once in this fight, I will spare your lives."
Lunaria snorted, crossing her arms defiantly. "Huh? It's just a sword. You can't win even if you use that huge-looking thing!" she mocked, her tone dripping with sarcasm.
Scarlett's eyes widened, a mix of anger and surprise flashing across her face. She fell to her knees, her expression one of dramatic disbelief. "Just a sword?" she echoed, her voice tinged with hurt. "Do you even know how much it weighs? It's f*cking 179.175 billion trillion metric tons! That's like thirty times the weight of Earth," she yelled, her frustration palpable.
But how could they understand what Earth was? Scarlett sighed in exasperation, the fight draining out of her for a moment. "I guess you both will die today," she said, her voice tinged with a cold finality.
With a wave of her hand, Scarlett opened her spatial inventory and put her great sword away, the massive weapon disappearing into the ether.
"Sister, how do we attack her? My attacks aren't connecting to her body. What should we do?" Lunaria asked, her voice edged with frustration and uncertainty.
Tiathmet, however, remained calm, a knowing smirk playing on her lips. She had already figured out the secret behind Scarlett's invisible barrier. "She's using psychokinesis to create an untouchable field around her. I'll show you how to break it," she said, her confidence unwavering. Without another word, she rushed toward Scarlett, her movements swift and precise. Leaping into the air, she tightened her leg, aiming a powerful kick at Scarlett's abdomen, reminiscent of Boa Hancock's devastating kicks from One Piece.
Scarlett sighed in boredom as she watched Tiathmet approach. "I told you that won't work on—"
Before she could finish, Tiathmet's kick landed smoothly on Scarlett's belly. "Holy shit!" Scarlett gasped, the sheer force of the kick sending her flying through the air, crashing through several monsters in her path. The battlefield fell silent for a split second as everyone realized the true battle had just begun.
Scarlett was sent flying at least two hundred meters away, and there was no sign of stopping. Before she could even attempt to regain control, Tiathmet caught up from above. Joining her fists together, she delivered a powerful double-fisted strike to Scarlett's chest.
Boom!
The sound of the impact was deafening, like an atom bomb exploding. Scarlett's body crashed into the ground, creating a massive crater. The ground fractured, sending debris and monsters flying, killing everything within the immediate vicinity. But the assault was far from over.
Scarlett tried to push herself up, but before she could get to her feet, another punch landed squarely on her back, sending her skyward once again. The force of the blow knocked the breath out of her although she doesn't need to breath anyway.
It was Lunaria. Using her unique skill, Vibration, she had tunneled through the ground with ease, emerging just in time to deliver the devastating blow from underground.
Lunaria's face was a mask of determination and fierce joy; she relished the chance to prove herself against such a powerful opponent. As Scarlett was still in the air, Lunaria jumped with incredible strength. The ground trembled beneath her as she launched herself upward at an insane speed, closing the gap between them in an instant. She aimed a powerful kick at Scarlett, but her assault was abruptly halted.
Before Lunaria could land her kick, Scarlett caught her leg with a swift, effortless motion. With a wave of her hand, Scarlett hurled Lunaria towards the ground like a tennis ball. The impact was deceptive in its simplicity but devastating in its power. Lunaria was driven deep into the ground, the force of the throw cracking the surrounding earth.
The combined algorithm of Tiathmet and Lunaria's attacks was shattered, and Scarlett landed gracefully on the ground. She wore a playful grin, her mood light and unconcerned. "Woohoo... Flying without wings is way more fun," she said, her tone almost gleeful. Despite the chaos, she seemed to be having fun, even as she endured their punches. "How did you break the barrier anyway?" she asked, curiosity piqued.
Tiathmet remained silent, refusing to divulge her secret. Scarlett's barrier, an imitation of Gojo's Infinity, but of course it wasn't real infinity, It was just cheap copy.
Unlike Lunaria, Tiathmet was incredibly clever and knowledgeable about various forms of magic, including telekinesis. What she had done was simple yet ingenious: she used telekinesis on her legs, allowing her to pass through Scarlett's telekinetic barrier.
Let's take an example, a water barrier that protected against fire,earth etc. but was permeable to water itself. Tiathmet's telekinesis acted as a bypass, enabling her kick to connect with Scarlett. But Tiathmet kept this knowledge to herself. If Scarlett knew the trick, she could protect herself from Lunaria's attacks. By staying silent, Tiathmet wanted Scarlett to believe that both she and Lunaria could breach the barrier, which successfully led Scarlett to stop using it, thinking it was pointless.
Scarlett had taken numerous punches and retaliated by throwing Lunaria to the ground, but the entire exchange had transpired in mere seconds. Lunaria emerged from the crater, dust and dirt clinging to her clothes, but she didn't seem to mind. She chuckled, brushing herself off. "We punched so hard, but there's not a single scratch on her. Interesting, truly interesting!" she praised, her voice tinged with admiration. Despite the direct hit and the fall, Lunaria herself was unscathed, her resilience evident.

Umm i wanted to ask something... You can understand this chapter,right? Actually I think I'm kinda weak at writing Fightings, So if anywhere it seems like, "Aiyoo.. What the fuck is actually happening, I can't understand! "
Then just tell me, I'll just rewrite the whole chapter,and will try to make it in more understandable way.
