"Vincent's an upper spiritual king at peak state! Unfortunately for him, though, he's going to face a Feminine Mutant owner who possesses the dark water," Ricky mumbled to himself, after seeing Vincent burst out his power.
Pearl, on the other hand, wasn't impressed by any of it. For all she could tell, Vincent was already a dead man.
As the Feminine Enlightenment surged, Pearl straightly turned into the Feminine Mutant. She didn't hesitate revealing her true power at the earliest opportunity. She actually couldn't afford not to since Vincent belonged to a higher rank than her.
"Mutant power? No wonder she is so confident," Vincent murmured, a little taken aback, despite his disdainful tone.
Vincent wasn't keen to waste his time either as he put forward a golden flag. He quickly merged it with the Golden Enlightenment on his body.
"Golden Flag Strike!" he exclaimed.
As soon as his momentum had raised to its extreme, Vincent promptly set his strike. Sparking from between his hands, the golden flag rapidly wrapped and integrated his body. Then, it turned into a sharp golden light blade, which came slashing at Pearl.
"Feminine power, dark whip!" Pearl uttered. She wasn't afraid of Vincent at all. The long black whip in her hand fluttered everywhere. Under the control of the Feminine Mutant, the Feminine Enlightenment around it felt coldly mortal.
"She's not using the dark water," Ricky muttered. "And it doesn't seem she intends to. Even though her Feminine Mutant grants a slight advantage to her favor, she must use the dark water if she wants to kill Vincent."
"Maybe she wants to improve her combat power. After all, lately, she has only cultivated in the Devourer Zone and the Massacring Zone," Tina speculated, her voice flat.
...
The long whip lunged like a python at the sharp blade from the golden flag. Both tangled around each other spreading waves of air through the void, until they finally bounced back.
They didn't change tactics after that first strike. Instead, they kept dancing around as they pushed and pulled.
"I think you're right. Pearl seems to want to strengthen herself by fighting against Vincent, so she can further reinforce her power as a first-class upper spiritual king. She has just made a breakthrough, after all," Ricky agreed while he observed the fierce and courageous strikes Pearl kept launching against her opponent.
Furthermore, her strategy was obviously effective. During that fiery battle, Pearl's momentum was constantly thickening.
Vincent, however, wasn't an idiot. Ultimately, he had been able to become an upper spiritual king at peak state. He had already figured out Pearl was just using him. Therefore, after a last clash, he pulled out of the fight.
"What a vicious woman! How dare you take me as a knife grinder!" Vincent blurted out in a sinister tone. His eyes didn't deny his desire to capture Pearl.
"But now I'm more interested in subduing such a woman like you."
Vincent swiftly burst out his power again. Now his intentions were all gathered on defeating Pearl at once and with a single strike. He was aware that if she continued using him to improve her combat skills, he was likely to be the one defeated in the end.
"I'm afraid the time is long gone since you could have defeated me with a single strike." In possession of her Feminine Mutant, Pearl emanated extreme coldness. Perhaps, she was as cold as a demonic queen.
Meanwhile, Pearl exuded great allure. The mix between coldness and beauty could persuade any men to feel eager to conquer her. Even Ricky had to admit feeling somewhat restless at the sight of her at that instant.
"Anyway, time doesn't matter. It won't change a thing. From the very beginning, you're destined to die in here. I was just trying to make some use of you until then," Pearl added.
"Fuck you!"
Vincent hissed at her words.
