Realm of Myths and Legends

you have time to waste on words? ” Tal ’Nis casually pointed towards the sky.

Lingering silently in the air above the platform was a massive collection of raindrops that appeared to be suspended in mid-air.
However, these raindrops did not seem as though they were made out of water.
In fact, when grouped together, it looked more like an ocean set ablaze by blue flames.

Thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands—there were more than Niflheim could count.
To make matters worse, it covered every corner of the platform so there was nowhere for him to escape!

”This is the true form of my Everlasting Rain.
Those who have seen it and lived to tell the tale are among the few.
So, do your best. ” Tal ’Nis said as she pointed towards Niflheim.

The next moment, in the sky above the platform, one of the raindrops left its suspended state and descended from the sky.
This was soon followed by a second and third.

At first, it could not even be compared to a drizzle given how slow the raindrops were falling.
But, with each droplet that fell, the one that came after it seemed to leave its state of suspension a little faster.

With the aid of the blue flames that acted as his shield, Niflheim skillfully avoided the raindrops as it began to develop into a constant drizzle.
He even managed to block them a few times; however, each time that he did so, his connection to the blue flames would become weaker.

〈Battle Alert: You have been hit! [4/5]〉

Suddenly, just as Niflheim blocked one raindrop, another followed on the same path less than a second after it.
Unable to endure the blow twice in quick succession, it slipped past Niflheim ’s defenses and counted as a hit against him.

〈Battle Alert: You have been hit! [3/5]〉

”At this rate, I ’ll just end up running around until I die or time expires.
I have to interrupt the flow of battle. ” Niflheim thought to himself.

Niflheim immediately moved into action as he used Unimpeded Rush to boost his movement speed as he charged towards Tal ’Nis!

Woosh! Plop

A raindrop hit the location Niflheim had just been standing, leaving behind a mark of devastation no weaker than the first one.

Thanks to Unimpeded Charge, after avoiding the second attack, Niflheim arrived within striking range of Tal ’Nis as he brandished the sword in his hand.

The blue flames that made up her hair remained unmoved as Niflheim ’s blade moved closer to Tal ’Nis.
There were also no signs of her swords rematerializing.
Nor did she take any defensive actions.
In fact, in all of her fights, Tal ’Nis had yet to take a single step!

It made Niflheim uneasy, to say the least.
However, due to the side effect of Unimpeded Charge, he could not afford to pull back now! Though even if he could, Niflheim would not do so.

”I won ’t overthink it.
The fact that she has revealed her skill ’s true form—this alone can count as my success.
But…
Now that I ’ve come this far, how can I be satisfied with just that? ” Niflheim internalized.

Niflheim understood that if he stayed on the defensive now, he would be quickly overwhelmed by the Everlasting Rain.
If that happened, he could forget about having Tal ’Nis reveal any more of her hidden cards.
It would just end with him defending and running around until the time ran out, or with his death.
If those were the only two options at his back, then he could only move forward and create a third option!

”Just a little more..! I can reach her! ” Niflheim thought to himself.

As Niflheim ’s blade grew nearer, a smirk appeared on Tal ’Nis ’ face.

The next moment, Niflheim felt the platform beneath his feet tremble as a torrent descended right in between himself and Tal ’Nis!

Rmmmmmble! Crack!

Before his blade could reach Tal ’Nis, Niflheim was blown away several meters as he was knocked off his feet!

〈Battle Alert: Your successful block has absorbed a hit.〉

〈Battle Alert: Your protective aura has absorbed a hit.〉

〈Battle Alert: You have been hit! [2/5]〉

〈Battle Alert: You have been hit! [1/5]〉

From above, it looked like a smaller version of the abyss on the first stage where the Headless Horseman lurked!

The entire platform had been cut into two as the torrent came to a grinding halt.

At that moment, everyone who observed from the platform ’s side had the same thought cross their mind—this is what it ’s like to glimpse at the peak of this world!
