Reincarnated as a Son of the Sword Saint and the Sage

Chapter 392 Last Words

Due to the insane pace we just exerted, I was not able to register what really happened during our clash. We moved thousands of times faster than the speed of sound, after all. Not only did I perform Mother's most powerful move she taught us, although Big Sis could not reach that level yet, but I also used the unique skill I copied from her on our consummation to outstrip Melville. I was sure she indeed hit me, as her blades were stuck on my chest, scary enough that she accurately pierced my heart. But upon seeing her current condition, I felt like a huge thorn had been removed from me and realized that I had managed to cut her in half. Based on the positions of her two halves, she probably had her knees on the floor before her upper half separated from the lower part and collapsed behind her. Her upper half was lying on the floor with her arms and wings spread wide. Blood continuously came out of both the severed parts as well as from her mouth. Now that I thought about it, where was her physical body while she was possessing Edith? It could be possible that she projected her soul from her body and left her dormant body in a safe place while controlling Edith remotely. But according to the full description of her Unique Skill: Scrounger that Akashvani gave me, the user would incorporate all her bodies—material, mental, and spiritual—with her vessel for her to fully utilize her abilities without any restrictions. That meant that the body in front of me was actually her real body. What happened to her here in the mental world would have affected her in real life. "Uuuhh..." Out of the blue, I heard a low grumble coming from her mouth. After all the damages she had sustained so far, she still had the capabilities to withstand my attack and avoid a sudden death. Even though she was an enemy, she was indeed a formidable opponent. If it were not for my survival skills, I would have been dead by now; she was undoubtedly worth my respect. I then walked to her side so that I could exchange my last words with her. "Yo, you still alive?" "..." Since she probably could not move a muscle anymore, she rolled her eyes to look at me. "... I should be the one asking you... Why are you still standing...and seeming unharmed...? My technique was a sure-kill move... Not even your soul could survive..." "Well, I just force myself to survive, I guess?" I said as I sarcastically shrugged my shoulders. "But really, you may not be the most powerful being I have ever fought, but you are the one who gave me the hardest time. I would not have used that technique if not." In terms of sheer power, Czarina was undoubtedly the most powerful being I had ever fought. The downside with her was that she lacked combat experience with much more powerful and intelligent beings. Not to mention that she mainly depends on her insane stats, skills, and spells with minimal strategic execution. She most likely won all of her fights, as they were already one-sided in the first place, making her fail to find her flaws. On the other hand, even though Melville did not even reach half of Czarina's stats, she probably had a long time dealing with much more powerful opponents and learned from her mistakes. She was also aware of the potential of training and worked hard on improving her arsenal and battle IQ. In short, Czarina had the power but was lacking in effort to improve herself and her abilities, while Melville was a relatively better fighter and had a lot of combat experience, but her body was limiting her potential. That was based on a higher scale, and Melville was already a powerful being herself. She was even a lot more powerful and skilled than Mother, so she should not be taken lightly. "You say that...but too bad... you are not the most powerful person I know, unfortunately..." She smiled as she coughed more blood. "But you are probably stronger than some powerful beings I know..." "I am well aware that there are many individuals that are a lot stronger and more powerful than me who are advertently hiding in the shadows of this rather ostensibly peaceful world, whether they are people or legendary monsters. The fact that you are not one of the most powerful gives me chills." "That is quite an understatement...said by someone who was cut in half and about to perish."

"It seems like your time is about to come. Do you have any last words, wishes, or regrets you wanted to convey?" "My only regret is that I failed to kill you... as well as failing his expectations... No matter how much kindness you displayed on my deathbed...I won't change my hostility toward you... What are you, a lucky bastard?" "...Do you have a desire to live?" "If I were given a chance to live again...I would hunt and terminate you again..." "I see." I bobbed my head repeatedly. "But if that ever happened, I won't let you do that, of course. By the way, I have a question, are you perhaps a child of Rubina?" "...How did you know that...? Is it because I am a Cambion?" "Well, yes. But if you are her child, what do you think of her?" "My mother? Ha! She was as weak as fuck and lost to a pair of humans. I really despise her... Her sole purpose was to produce my father's powerful and blessed children like me... It was a good thing that she died and did not become a dead weight to our group..." "Is that so? It seems that the two of you won't get along willfully." I muttered those words, to which she got confused and mumbled, "What are you talking about?" "Well anyways, honestly, I cannot let you die as you hold so much valuable information. I know that you are going to resist and that you are too dangerous to be left unattended. I don't want to resort to using it, but you give me no choice." With that, our fight had been concluded, and I effectively removed Melville from Edith's body. As for what I did to Melville, it would be another day's story.
