Chapter 1951: The Strength Of The System Venerable
The Venerable of Flames faced Andromeda, as the two clashed into an explosion of Divine Auras, their punches pierced through the ground and the skies, generating huge tremors! The ground shook and was destroyed, revealing an endless sea of boiling magma where the Venerable could draw endless power.
Andromeda managed to save Surtr as she distracted the Venerable, destroying his techniques with her powerful Aura and then facing him head-on. The Venerable couldn't believe that this delicate-looking giantess wearing a white dress had punched him so hard he was sent flying.
BAAAMMM!!!
"UGH?!"
He flew into the skies as Andromeda's punches accumulated large quantities of Ascendancy Law Essence and released it into a huge explosion, increasing her damage dealt by several times!
BAAM!
And then, she rushed towards him, leaping into the skies and kicking the ground, leaving behind a huge crater, her large arms became burlier as she unleashed the power of the Titaness she was.
"Coming for more?! You sure got what it takes to be my match both in strength and also in beauty!"
The Venerable laughed as he praised her strength and beauty, Andromeda didn't give a damn about his flattery, rushing towards his body and unleashing a deadly barrage of punches and kicks, blowing holes through his enormous body.
BAAM!
"Ugh...!"
BAAM!
"Aagh!"
BAAM!
"Let me...!"
BAAM!
"LET ME FIGHT BACK, YOU DAMN...!"
Andromeda didn't change her expression, furrowing her eyebrows as her fists glowed bright white, becoming completely made out of pure energy.
And using both her fists, she punched his chest and stomach again, trying to reach deep into his soul like Pandemonium and Drake had done, which seemed to be the only effective way to hurt him!
CRAAASH!!!
"UUGH?!"
An explosion of blinding white and silver light emerged through his body, blowing up half of his torso in a second.
BOOOOM!
As the Venerable exploded, he rapidly reformed his body, the ground beneath trembling, rivers of magma and lava coming towards his body to rebuild him anew.
"Nice punches, you've got good reflexes too."
"You can regenerate endlessly like this? What a cheat."
"Cheat? Isn't the one cheating that damn dragon and the demon over there? Well, either way, they're going to die."
"Not if I'm here to stop you."
"You're good but can you handle more of what I can offer?!"
The Venerable spread his arms as he saw Andromeda coming towards him, the ground trembled and then...
TRUUUMMM!!!
Several underground volcanoes erupted at once, as massive eruptions of hot magma and the energy of the land itself reached Andromeda from every angle.
"T-This is...?!"
"{Divine Savage Sun Flare Battle Domain}: {Primordial Volcanic Wrath}!"
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
She was completely overwhelmed instantly! The attacks kept coming from everywhere, her body was being slowly damaged, burned endlessly.
"Uuuggh...! Aaagh!"
Andromeda was going through immense pain, a pain that didn't quite compare to anything she had ever gone through before in her life as a System.
She was finally beginning to understand the pain of Drake and his family, that living with a physical body wasn't just about enjoying delicious food, having love in bed, and being able to touch one another.
No, life was an endless dance between life and death, a wrong step, and even the mightiest being could fall prey to someone stronger.
It wasn't pretty, and it didn't feel good.
But it helped Andromeda slowly gain a small amount of enlightenment.
As something that lived as a robotic being for most of her life, experiencing true pain and fear
for her life, brought within her body her latent survival instincts.
The powers she had yet to grasp slowly started to be unraveled, as her mind quickly began to adapt to the danger.
"{System Spirit Goddess Arts}: {Protection Barrier}"
FLAAASH!
An explosion of white light emerged, destroying all of the Venerable's volcanic attacks,
smoke spread everywhere, as the Venerable's eyes were surprised.
"Oho? What is this? A simple barrier? And yet... it holds so much power?!"
Andromeda floated inside of her barrier, her body, although slightly ethereal, was made of
flesh and blood like anybody else.
She was burned and covered in wounds; she didn't look great.
However, she adapted to this too, just like Drake would do.
"{System Spirit Goddess Arts}: {Full Recovery}"
FLUOSH!
Her entire body was wrapped in a tight mantle of light, her wounds were instantly healed,
making the Venerable even more shocked.
"F-Full recovery?!
Andromeda's techniques held such simple names but also held tremendous power, this was
because to her, they weren't simple techniques.
They were parts of the power of the System, which imitated game-like powers.
The game-like barriers of games, which were often times really powerful, a full recovery available in every game, that fully heals a character no matter what.
This was the truth behind the System's Techniques!
"{System Spirit Goddess Arts}: {Skill: Combo Attack}"
"Huh?!"
RUMBLE!
Out of nowhere, the skies trembled as the Venerable saw Andromeda approach him, her barrier was suddenly gone, but her body moved at lightning speed, automatically, she punched his chin, then his stomach, then she kicked the left side of his head as her body spun in midair, followed by another kick on his stomach when he tried to grab her legs.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"UGH! AGH! WHAT?! HEY!"
He grew more and more frustrated as the blows kept covering his body, and he realized something even more bizarre, numbers.
Yes, there were numbers appearing above his body whenever she hit him, each number increased with more blows.
It went from 1 to 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 20, 30!
The more she hit, the more these numbers increased, this was her combo attack count.
The higher it became...
"{System Spirit Goddess Arts}: {Skill: Combo Release}"
The more damage she would unleash after releasing Combo Release by punching his face,
digging deeper into his ethereal body, aiming for his soul.
BOOOMMM!!!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"UAAGH!"
The Venerable fell from the skies in that moment, his entire body exploding and disappearing, his soul was somewhere though, and Andromeda was sure she had touched it.
"Was I able to damage him? Where did he go?"
As she looked around.
TRUUUM!
A gigantic hand made of mountains and volcanoes emerged from the underground, grabbing
her entire body and then smashing it into the floor.
"Wha...?!" CRAAASH!
