Chapter 512: You still haven't noticed?

Glacia let out a laugh that sounded too strained and dry. So, he expanded his domain while she was distracted by the symbols? The man also specifically used spiritual energy to create his domain to counteract the influence of her domain.

But the real question was how the heck did he have so much spiritual energy...?

Even she, a transcendent rank individual herself who was just a step away from the supreme rank, didn't have so much spiritual energy to power so many symbols and also cover such a huge space!

A shiver ran down her spine when she noticed Kyle stepping toward her. The woman instantly used her spiritual energy to heal her injuries, but before the spiritual energy could even completely envelop her arms, her ears heard another thunderous boom, and she caught sight of another fist aimed at her stomach.

"Hold on!"

Glacia clenched her teeth and used her divine and spiritual energy to erect as many barriers as possible in front of her to block the fist because, after blocking the previous attack, she realized she couldn't rival the silver-haired man's strength. But her eyes widened in horror as the barriers shattered into countless fragments, and the fist squarely struck her abdomen, causing her to scream out in pain as she heard her ribcage crack upon impact.

In an instant, her body was propelled backward toward the icy layer. Her vision blurred momentarily from the intense pain coursing through her entire body, and before she could even regain her focus, a swift kick connected with her figure and hurtled her deep into the earth.

Immediately, a deafening boom echoed through the air, and dust and debris scattered in all directions.

Kyle grasped the fabric of his pants and pulled it up as he crouched down to look at the bronze-eyed woman who was coughing blood in the crater. Her pristine dress, which just moments ago swayed elegantly around her body, was now tattered in various places and soaked in blood that oozed out from her wounds and mouth, but she was alive.

'She has reached the end of transcendent rank, so I have to completely erase her consciousness to kill her.'

Glacia's head was spinning, but even amidst the pain coursing through her entire body and the dust that clouded her vision, she could clearly see the green eyes peering at her from the distance as if she were already dead. In an instant, a surge of extreme anger clouded her eyes.

"You bastard..."

She spat out, and the air around her began to tremble. In the next moment, she vanished from her position.

Kyle let out a hum. He tilted his head to the left and caught the silver knife with his bare hand that almost grazed his neck.

Glacia's eyes widened... she had just used one of her skills to double her speed, but he still managed to thwart her attack? How?

Kyle snatched the knife and tossed it away. His lips curved into a smirk as he stood up and glanced into the woman's eyes.

"You still haven't noticed?"

Glacia's voice faltered as she took a step back. She couldn't understand how the human had become so powerful that she couldn't even properly fight back.

"What...?"

She admitted for the first time in her life that she was scared. The woman even regretted the time when she harmed Kyle because now that she gazed directly into his eyes, she could not even see a speck of emotion in those green orbs.

Glacia felt it clearly that he would kill her without a second's hesitation even if she offered him many precious treasures.

That's why she wanted to run away... yes, she would put her anger, hatred, and the shame she felt today because of the human aside as she loved her life more than anything else in the world.

Now that she is so close to the supreme rank, the rank so many people dream of but can't achieve, how can she just let it all go because of a mere human who was an ant in her eyes just a few years ago?

Nonetheless, she can always repay the human tenfold later because Kyle was inside the elven planet. She simply has to step out of the icy layer, and as soon as the townspeople catch sight of her condition and the stranger who wants to harm her, they would attack Kyle. And it's likely that due to the commotion, many powerful old elves on the planet would be alerted. They would restrain the human who dared to enter their planet and tried to kill one of them right under their noses.

Then, Glacia just needs to watch from a distance as Kyle meets his demise at their hands. There's no need for her to endanger her life when she can simply watch him die. Kyle chuckled when he saw how her eyes scanned the area around them to find an 00:49

opening or vulnerable spot in his domain.

"You really haven't noticed? Not even after getting beaten up by me? Hasn't your speed and strength decreased compared to before?"

he saw how her eyes scanned the area around them to find an opening or vulnerable spot in his domain.

"Huh?"

Glacia blinked and quickly checked her body, but she wasn't able to notice much difference. It was only when she saw the image displaying her rank and stats that she noticed her stats had decreased! Did the human cast a spell or use a skill on her body? If so, why didn't she even notice?

If before, her strength and speed were at the final stage of the Transcendent-rank, now they were both at the middle stage of the Transcendent-rank. It finally dawned on her why Kyle's speed looked similar to hers but much faster at the same time... his strength and agility stats are probably at the Transcendent-

rank! But how!? He was just at the divine rank!

Kyle let out a bored sigh as he saw Glacia's expression pale at his words. He didn't even bother to share the fact that her stats were reduced because of his domain and just watched as the woman slowly moved back toward the icy layer, probably to run away.

"Where do you think you are going?"

Glacia's eyes contracted as he vanished from his spot and reappeared above her body with both of his hands clenched together into a fist that slammed down at her body. The woman let out a horrified scream and dodged the fist by a hair's breadth as it crashed into the ground with a resounding boom, forming a big crater as dust and debris flew everywhere.

Kyle stood up and swept his hand to disperse the dust in front of him. He then glanced at the woman whose body transformed into a mirage as she vanished towards the icy layer.

"Hey, don't you remember we need to pick up where we left off and finish what was left undone in the past? It's just that our roles would be reversed."

He paused for a split second as he recalled the words that echoed in his head when he remembered the old memory featuring the same woman who was running away before him.

"Don't worry though, to repay you for the kindness you showed me in the past, I will also make sure not to completely destroy your body, but..."

"...unfortunately, I do need to kill you."
