The Adventures of Rose Hood

Chapter 79: The Power of Evolution

Amy's new power posed a lot of problems for me. I could easily keep up before, but now I was struggling.

Amy used powerful magic, so I realized,

"I need to use my trump card this early."

Unlike Dallel, Amy was still in the realm of mortals when she evolved, so my power would work. My trump card that I kept hidden. I learned magic through the shackle against gods.

"FLAME SWORD."

I summoned flame to my sword, and we clashed. Amy's eyes widened as she realized I hid it, planning on surprising Celios or Ausar with it.

"You are smart, but it won't be enough."

Despite her words, I was stronger. I pushed down her sword and slashed at her stomach.

She barely dodged and realized that I had reached S in power.

"Impossible."

I increased in speed and battled ferociously, but Amy, by evolving, also reached S in power.

"To think. You were ahead of us this whole time."

We clashed again and again. More injuries appearing on each one of us. The gods, who thought that the battle was decided when Amy evolved, realized that I still held a chance.

"Impossible, there is no way that an unevolved could even stand against an evolved."

Thalia smiled.

"Please, Asura could beat them, and he isn't evolved."

Asura nodded.

"I didn't even know that humans could evolve, but now that I do, I'mma try for it."

Amy struck at me while I was distracted, but I narrowly dodged.

Amy was open, so I struck. I jabbed her stomach with my fist, and she flew back and crashed against the barrier.

Then, when I felt like I won, I heard Amy.

"I see now. Divinity stretches across the whole world. What if I grabbed it?"

She had the divine aspect. Her injuries disappeared and she stood up.

"I can win now, Amanda."

I smiled and she did too.

We both picked up speed as now we fought at full strength.

The divine aspect came to me as easily as breathing before I had the restraint, so I knew how strong she was for the moment.

Amy realized that I still maintained the advantage and struck to win before I could, but I leapt back.

"FIRESTORM!!!"

My power raged and struck her full power. A meteorite crushed her, but she threw it off and continued to attack.

She shot and shot.

I narrowly dodged with my unpredictable movements, then I slashed at her. The attack would either land and hurt her severely, or I'd miss and be opened up to an assault.

It was both.

My blade cut into her arm, but her's cut into my stomach.

I coughed out blood, before launching back, cringing at the pain.
