Blood splashed from Xiao's shoulder, pierced by Teresa's wings but she didn't come out unscathed as a spike rock pillar had grown from the ground and pierced her back.
Worldly control Tier 1: Spikey Rockey
Teresa spoke to which Xiao smiled, her void Qi acting up as it disintegrated the rock pillar that had priced her while making a distance as another pillar rose from where she stood,
Xiao clicked his tongue at the miss, the wound on his shoulder had already begun to heal.
Worldy Control Tier 1: Minor Healing
Focusing his powers on his legs Xiao disappeared as he appeared in front of Teresa wielding down his swords to her neck, which was quickly blocked by her wings, her tail snipping towards his head, due to the size difference just her tail moving towards him as big enough to puncture him whole.
Worldy Control Tier 1: Shift
Just as he cast his position changed as Xiao appeared behind Teresa, the swords making an X on his chest as he waved them forth sending forth a blast that hit Teresa on her back, her body breaking into particles but before he could even react two sharp wing edges were at his neck, while a tail was aimed at his back, Xiao was completely mobilized,
"I was in your grasp from the very beginning?"
Xiao asked, calm even though death could meet him anytime,
"Yes but even then it was a good fight, didn't you already see through it?"
Teresa spoke with an impressed tone making Xiao smile as he responded,
"I did but by that time I was already in your trap"
As he said so Teresa let go of him, her battle form starting to revert back to normal, by now all of the ones that she summoned were already killed,
Teresa spoke as she looked around her, the army of the dead gazing at her with utmost focus a single order from Xiao and they would all attack her, of course, that was if she was still limiting her powers to his, in this domain she was still a god, though a loss was a loss,
"No, I have lost too, how about we call it a draw?"
Xiao asked as his swords disappeared from his hand as he moved forward for a handshake, he was not at all pissed about his loss, if he could win then would Xiao be surprised. Teresa was someone that had reached the top, she had reached such a position through battles, schemes, and growth.
While Xiao agrees that his battle talent is high, he hadn't reached the level where he could win one of one with a being that had battled for millions of years, thinking so was just plain stupid, the level of planning and ideas a person such as Teresa has is beyond what Xiao could ever dream about but even then he was able to hurt her a bit, that was more than enough to satisfy him,
"Never thought there would come such a day"
Teresa spoke as by now she had returned to her true form, looking beautiful, standing taller than the little boy in front of her, she shook his small hands with a smile,
"It was an entertaining fight"
"Give me time, one day I might kick your ass, one on one"
"Please, dream realistic"
Teresa said with a snort as she took her hand away but Xiao could feel that she herself was anticipating that day, in the one on one fight every action she did to her small movements was done to guide Xiao's level of thought and style, even if Xiao knew about it he could only helplessly play to her rhythm,
'Manh...these guys that live for so long are dangerous'
Xiao mused but he wasn't scared, with his ability to devour the soul, he could easily increase the level of his fighting, it's just that swallowing up the soul of a master doesn't mean that he could immediately use them, he has to take his time to get his body used to the movements, moreover, Xiao hadn't grown completely yet, his optimal power has yet to be reached,
Xiao commanded and just as he did the darkness started to retreat as it returned to his body, the deathwalkers started to return to the realm of death, and before leaving Orion gave a nod, walking back to Valhalla, waiting for another battle,
"Even I can't understand your background, just who are you?"
Teresa asked with an intriguing tone, Xiao didn't reply, opting not to speak out about it, the crown on his head started to fade as it disappeared, Xiao now was just wearing his cloak of death,
"How long until Li Lun awakens?"
Xiao asked making Teresa pout, shaking her head she spoke,
"Sigh.....kids, she will wake up in about a day, be ready to be surprised"
Waving his hand off Xiao sat cross-legged on the ground as he started to digest all that he had learned. Seeing that Xiao was diving into himself Teresa didn't say much as her throne returned and she sat on it but just as she did her relaxed expression crumbled apart, as sweat started to leak from her head, her hands and legs too were trembling,
"Damn it! calm down!"
Teresa spoke to herself trying to calm down, she didn't show it but the moment Xiao had released his crown, a supreme pressure of death crushed upon Teresa, memories of a bad past flashing within her mind,
"It's just a similar aura but Xiao isn't related"
Teresa spoke to herself, her manner changing from boy to Xiao, she held herself within, if the boy was related to 'it' she would have killed him, even if it meant her death, exhaling Teresa finally gained her calm, her eyes flashing to her successor,
"Girl you really love someone very very dangerous"
Teresa spoke, only she knew what horrors were flashing through her mind. Meanwhile, Xiao was dealing with himself,
'All-Seer show me all the notifications you are holding back'
Xiao asked and just as he did several notifications started to pass in front of him, it took some time before which he was able to focus on them.
