Despite being so much larger than their counterparts, the secondary reford beings moved incredibly fast. Because of that, Willow quickly found herself in an uncomfortable position.
Willow pointed her pitch black sword towards the three secondary reford beings. Her blade let out a violent humming sound, one that seed to tear through the air.
During that ti, the secondary reford beings were already within five ters of Willow.
Then, Willow's blade stopped vibrating.
A violent shockwave rippled through the air, directly exploding one of the secondary reford beings into a bloody mist, while tearing through the other two, cutting so of their flesh off to ribbons.
Nurous other black beings were caught in the crossfire, similarly exploding into a bloody mist or being torn to ribbons.
Willow sighed softly.
She was lanting over the fact her sword was chipped because of Layla's... fall. Willow's old way of fighting would cause the black beings to directly explode into a bloody mist, reducing the numbers much more effectively.
It was not like her current way didn't have its advantages. With how violent her shockwaves have beco, they beca far more suited for dealing with stronger enemies.
This was because her old way of fighting had a very even shockwave while her current one erratically compressed that shockwave. Her current shockwave was almost like a wave that consisted of countless blades.
That was why Willow's enemies were cut to thin strips that resembled ribbons. And also why it was not nearly as thorough when dealing with these black beings.
Willow shook her head, tossing the regretful thoughts out of her head.
There was nothing she could do about it. Not to ntion the fact two secondary reford beings were attacking her right now.
Willow's figure disappeared, and a claw tore through the spot she just was.
Willow reappeared a few ters away only to see another claw coming for her. She just barely brought her sword up to block in ti.
A clear bang resounded.
Willow strained her arms to block and hurt her wrists badly. She was blown back like a kite with its strings cut loose.
Willow could feel her bones ache. Blocking that strike added to her accumulated injuries, making her feel a little delirious.
The reason why she couldn't just dodge it like the last one was because she could only vanish so often. Not to ntion, it used up a fair amount of stamina to do so.
This disappearance Willow perford was actually a refined way of stepping into the shadow world, making it seem like teleportation. It could be compared to the 'basic shadow step technique' that Apollo almost learned, but couldn't because the demonstration ti ran out too quickly.
The main difference between that technique and Willow's was that she did not have to touch solid ground in order to step into the shadow world.
Unfortunately, one of the limitations of the technique was the cooldown period. In order to cast this technique, it required Willow to preemptively gather black mist.
Although Willow could do this quickly, it was not instant. As such, she was forced to block and suffered because of that.
Right after Willow was knocked backward, the two remaining secondary reford beings charged after her.
If nothing else, blocking that strike launched her quite far away, giving her so ti to prepare an attack.
Willow raised her pitch black sword, which began vibrating violently once more. It was as though a beast was roaring.
By the ti the two secondary reford beings were three ters away, Willow's sword suddenly froze.
A violent shockwave exploded forth, directly tearing apart one of the secondary reford beings and heavily maiming the chest of the other.
But despite suffering injuries from the residual shockwave, it did not inhibit the other secondary reford being.
It swiped at Willow, tearing through the air.
As for Willow, her figure disappeared.
While the secondary reford being was still at a loss, Willow reappeared right in front of its face.
The secondary reford being opened its jaws wide with the intention of roaring. Yet, before it could do so, its head exploded into a bloody mist.
Willow had traced a horizontal arc with her sword, which screeched as though it was grinding against tal. Like that, she released another shockwave that directly blew apart the secondary reford being's head.
As a result, it stumbled back a few steps and fell to the ground.
Willow looked off in Hex's direction, wanting to hurry back, but before she could find him, her vision went blurry.
By the ti Willow ca to, she found herself barreling through the air and coughing up a mouthful of blood.
She narrowed her eyes and looked in the direction she ca in. The secondary reford being she thought was dead, was actually standing up. Its head was still gone, while black blood continued to spray out of the wound.
However, it was very much alive.
Black tendrils of flesh wrapped around the wound, stopping the bleeding. It appeared like the head was unnecessary for it to function.
While Willow was still trying to recover herself, the secondary black being had already begun charging towards her.
Her mind was muddled, which was pretty bad considering the precision her techniques required.
By the ti the secondary reford being was a few ters away, Willow still couldn't think coherently.
But then, she rembered there was no need to think coherently.
...Because there was order within the chaos.
Willow began closing her eyes, seemingly unconcerned of the secondary reford being rapidly approaching her.
When it was five ters away, Willow's eyelids drooped, almost like soone falling asleep.
When it was three ters away, her eyes were partially closed.
One ter, just barely open.
Then closed.
The secondary reford being was right in front of Willow.
Its claw drew an arc towards her, tearing through the air.
But without warning, it exploded into a bloody mist.
While the secondary reford being was at a loss, its entire body exploded as well.
Willow's eyes closed, but instead of falling asleep...
She was awake.
