Chapter 18 [Enlightened by the Moonlight]

Start from the beginning
                                    

Tsukuyomi looked on with a bitter smile. In his mind, those words were an insult to the skills of his father and eldest brother. However, he would not falter.

Wu readied herself before adopting a stance, and then leapt into the air. She condensed all of the Chi in her body into her leg for one single powerful strike: "【Dragon's Wrath!】", and shot towards Tsukuyomi. Her shout made Tsukuyomi regain his composure and prepare himself. A serene look shone on his face.

"What is that power!?!" Thoth cried out in shock. "I don't recognise any martial art like it!"

"By condensing the chi in her body into one single limb, she can fully bring out her physical prowess in one destructive blow. It may not be creative, but the power is simply incredible!" The first Emperor looked down with a proud gaze.

Wu grinned cockily as she moved to deliver a devastating kick towards god, but her enemy maintained his focused appearance, a glint of determination in his eyes.

Her leg slammed down towards him, but he caught her foot, and sidestepped around it, diverting her into the distance. As she flew past him, Tsukuyomi used her energy to spin her around to crash her body into the castle doors.

Before the smoke could disperse, Wu was back into a stance again, her eyes bloody red. 'Tch, I guess I do need it after all'. She activated 'dragon's wrath' on her leg once more and struck the ground with terrifying power, causing the floor to crack under the sheer force.

They danced around each other, Wu striking out intensely while Tsukuyomi parried and blocked her blows. Each strike chipped away at his strength and he was forced back, carefully avoiding fatal injury. Wu was able to react and move much faster due to the demon mind and each blow became incredibly more difficult to avoid.

He swung the blade at her, but her greatly sharpened instincts allowed her to drop below it and uppercut Tsukuyomi in the stomach. He crumpled to the ground and Wu grabbed his head, throwing him away. She released a crazed laugh as she basked in the wake of her destruction.

"Aaah, music to my ears." Crowley commented with indescribable amounts of sarcasm.

During Zeitan's temporary lapse in focus, Tsukuyomi swung his blade down at her, but thanks to the demon mind she dodged with a hair's berth. She then let off another torrent of blows in Tsukuyomi's direction.

The moon god pushed her back after avoiding one of her attacks and raised his sword high above his head. While Wu was recovering, the blade struck down towards her. However, she activated Tortoise Shell at the last possible moment and the strike was halted. Using her spare arm, she swung at the blade's side and the blade shattered into fragments of light.

However, when the broken blade fell down towards her stomach and past her outstretched arms, Tsukuyomi grabbed the pieces of the shattered blade and re-equipped it into 'Angel's Embrace'.The blade rematerialised in an instant and Tsukuyomi drew it at lightning speed, thrusting into the Empresses' exposed chest. The blade of lunar light was thrust into Wu's side and impaled through her skin. Grabbing her leg, he flung her from his blade into the castle wall.

Screaming out in pain, Wu slumped down and clutched her side. She coughed blood into her palm, as scarlet as a rose. The hole in her chest had already started to freeze, piercing her skin with tiny shards of ice.

"Now look at her. She is completely open to attack and already badly injured. This is why you don't send women to fight the battles of men! Useless whore!" The infamous Emperor Jiajing raged out at Wu, before hiding himself from the glare of Qin Shi Huang.

"Humans are so prone to betray one another," Dionysus commented with sparkling eyes, "It's clear she will get back up, everyone should get used to it... But that's alright! I mean, it would be too boring if it was to end so quickly~ Wouldn't it?" He asked no one in particular.

Wu raised herself and stood, albeit shaking slightly. She ripped part of her dress and wrapped it round her side, dusting off any ice she could manage. "I SEE NOW!" She roared once she regained her strength. "The pain managed to overwhelm the dopamine of Demon Mind, so I simply need to get even more adrenaline! The limit far surpasses what I expected!"

The Empress felt the chi in her body stimulate with her enhanced brain fluctuating. 'My chi is moving more wildly than normal. Is this due to the adrenaline of this demon's power? Interesting...'

Wu's maniacal laugh reverberated across the castle as her aura flared like that of wild beast, bloodlust and hunger lashing out all at once. With a demon mind activated far beyond what she had previously managed, allowing her to still move without any pain.

"Impressive malice for a human, it would seem she has finally discovered the true form of Mammon's ability and attuned herself with it...And with that her limits have been broken," Solomon watched with curiosity.

Lucifer watched occurring events with stern expression, concern and hint of guilt striking his mind like a blade. "Be careful, foolish dear son of mine..."

Tsukuyomi's eyes widened considerably, a droplet of sweat appearing on his forehead after his gaze met with the feral grin of a hunter. He had planned to kill her swiftly and painlessly far before this, yet the Empress refused to yield...
