Dawn Walker

She moved backward and avoided the fist by less than an inch. Natasha cut at his side, forcing him to turn. Sofia returned immediately and struck his throat with two fingers.

The attack did not crush his neck, but it made him choke for a few seconds.

Natasha kicked the back of his leg.

Dickoff fell onto one knee on the ground.

Sofia struck the damaged side of his face.

His head snapped sideways, and more blood came from his left eye.

Dickoff released another wave of chaos energy before they could continue.

This time, both women were ready. They moved away in opposite directions. The black wave passed between them and struck the walls.

Sofia attacked from the left.

Natasha attacked from the right.

Dickoff tried to follow both at once. But he could not do it.

His chaos energy was far greater, but their battle experience of thousands of years was not something the artifact could give him. Dickoff was only chaos rank two mortal just ten minutes ago. His battle instinct was low and experience was close to none. He only knew how to bully the weak. His entire life he had done it. Which gives him nothing in the fight against a real half god level powerhouse.

Sofia and Natasha had fought as partners for thousands of years. They understood each other’s movement before it happened. When one moved forward, the other already knew which escape route would remain open. When one stepped away, the other knew where Dickoff’s attention would turn.

They did not need to speak.

Sofia created a blood chain and wrapped it around Dickoff’s right ankle.

He broke it immediately with his huge chaos energy.

Natasha used the moment to cut across his back.

Dickoff turned toward her.

Sofia struck his ribs.

He swung back at Sofia.

Natasha caught the arm from behind and pulled it off course.

The attack destroyed another pillar instead.

Part of the iron house ceiling collapsed.

Large stones fell around them. Sofia and Natasha moved between the pieces without losing sight of Dickoff. Sekhmet stepped farther away from the centre of the hall while the two women kept Dickoff’s attention.

Dickoff roared and attacked faster. His fists became dark blurs.

Sofia avoided the first two strikes but could not avoid the third. The blow struck her stomach and sent her through the remains of a stone wall. Her body disappeared into the next room.

Natasha used the opening to drive both claws into Dickoff’s damaged chest.

He grabbed her by the neck.

Natasha struck his elbow, but his grip remained closed.

Dickoff lifted her from the floor. He yelled at her, "You are not stronger than me. At this moment I am the strongest here."

Natasha looked down at him.

"No."

Her hands closed around his wrist.

"But I do not need to be."

She opened her mouth and bit into the side of his forearm. Her fangs pushed through the black armor and entered his flesh.

Dickoff shouted.

Natasha drank a sip of his blood. Only one mouthful. That was enough.

The black energy inside his blood entered her mouth and burned her tongue, but she had already taken what she wanted. She pulled her head away and used Blood Control on the blood still inside the wound.

The blood expanded.

Dickoff’s forearm split from within. His grip opened.

Natasha dropped to the floor and moved away before he could strike her again.

Dark blood poured from his arm. The artifact immediately began repairing the damage.

The black veins pulsed faster. The hard armor spread over the wound, closing it beneath another rough layer.

Sekhmet watched the system countdown fall.

[External Energy Remaining: 04:31]

Natasha wiped the black blood from her mouth.

"It tastes terrible."

Sofia returned through the broken wall while holding one hand against her stomach.

"You always complain about the taste."

Natasha said, "It matters."

Sofia didn’t agree with her. She said, "It does not."

Dickoff looked between them in disbelief. They were discussing his blood while he stood in front of them with power far beyond their own.

His face twisted in anger.

"I will tear both of you apart."

Natasha looked at Sofia.

"He talks too much."

Sofia nodded. "Sekhmet already told him that."

Dickoff rushed forward with another roar. He no longer tried to move around them. He used his remaining full strength directly.

His fist struck Natasha’s raised arms and broke both bones. She was thrown backward, but Sofia stepped into the space immediately. She struck Dickoff’s exposed throat and forced him to stop.

He grabbed Sofia’s hair.

Sofia cut the hair with one claw before he could use it to control her. The severed strands remained in his hand while she dropped low and swept his legs.

Dickoff did not fall. His stance remained too strong.

Natasha returned with both arms already healing. She jumped onto his back and locked one arm across his neck.

Dickoff reached behind him, but Sofia caught his wrist.

For several seconds, the two women held him together. His body shook under the pressure. The stone floor broke beneath all three.

Dickoff released his chaos energy again. The explosion threw them away. This time he did not chase either woman. He looked directly at Sekhmet.

The countdown had fallen below four minutes. He could feel his strength beginning to change.

The black armor across his body remained thick, but the power inside it was no longer rising as easily as before. The one hundred million chaos stones were gone. The artifact was now using only the energy it had already absorbed.

Once that ended, he did not know what would happen.

Sekhmet did.

That was the part Dickoff feared most.

Sekhmet stood near the broken wall, watching him with the same calm expression he had worn when entering the hall. His clothes were torn and covered in blood, but most of his injuries had healed.

Dickoff had spent more than half of his remaining time.

Sekhmet was still alive. Sofia and Natasha were still standing. The four other women were still somewhere inside the mansion. Raka’s people still surrounded the estate.

Everything Dickoff had sacrificed was disappearing second by second. He could no longer fight the women first. He needed to kill Sekhmet somehow. Otherwise everything will be for nothing.

Dickoff looked toward the floor.

The remaining formation lines were broken, but the black seed inside his body still responded to his thoughts. He could feel a final deeper layer of energy within it. Using that power would shorten the remaining time even more.

Mihos had told him the artifact could make him strong enough to kill Sekhmet.

He had not been told how carefully to use it.

Dickoff no longer cared.

The black veins across his face thickened. He forced his mortal body to pull everything it could from the seed.

The reaction was immediate. A terrible cracking sound came from inside his chest.

Several ribs broke under the pressure.

His skin split along the black lines, but no normal blood came out. Thick black chaos energy leaked through the openings instead.

The entire mansion began trembling.

Sekhmet’s blood system sent him a notification.

[Warning: Target is forcing the unknown object beyond the stability of his mortal body.

Overall Battle Power: 173,400

External Energy Remaining: 02:58]

Dickoff had sacrificed more than a minute and a half in a single moment.

The strength around him increased enough to push Sofia and Natasha backward without touching them. The remaining pillars cracked. The ceiling groaned. Many pillars and walls across the iron house shattered together.

Outside, Raka and the lesser vampires saw the upper walls of Iron House begin breaking apart.

Inside the side passages, Vera, Vela, Mira, and Lily felt the pressure become far heavier.

Sekhmet looked at the countdown.

Less than three minutes.

Dickoff bent forward, breathing like a wounded beast. Then he lifted his head. The black chaos energy around his body expanded through the entire hall.

"I do not need ten minutes," he said. "I only need one final attack to end you."

He raised both hands. The energy did not gather into a sphere this time. Instead it spread downward.

Black lines entered the floor and raced through the mansion’s foundation. The stone beneath Sekhmet’s feet began turning dark. Cracks appeared across the walls, the ceiling, and every remaining pillar.

Sofia understood first.

"He is not aiming only at you."

Natasha looked around the collapsing hall.

"He is going to destroy the mansion and everything and everyone with it."

Dickoff no longer cared about his family, guards, servants, or the people hiding in the side rooms. The main family members who were fleeing by the drainage. He no longer cared about Iron House itself. If he could not reach Sekhmet through Sofia and Natasha, he would bring the entire state down and fill every part of it with the artifact’s chaos energy.

Make it a chaos energy bomb.

Sekhmet immediately opened the Void Land connection.

Not a small gate. A wide opening formed behind him.

He looked toward Sofia and Natasha.

"Bring him to me. I will send him inside the Void Land."
