Saturday - Shooting Star (7)

FANTASY/FICTION

"It was truly awe-inspiring, you are amazing."

Yrmeila smirked proudly at Tzegyr.

"He isn't come back yet?"

"What kind of wormhole was he actually searching for?"

Suddenly, both of them were startled, sensing an incredibly powerful energy.

"What is that?"

"Let's find out."

They swiftly spread their wings and flew towards the urban area.

...

"Can we trust this information?"

"Yes, I received it from one of my informants."

"I'm afraid, for now, there's nothing we can do to her. You can go back."

"Alright."

As she was about to leave, an emergency alert siren blared, followed by urgent knocks.

"Come in."

"Sir, we have deployed our main forces to Lorhall."

"Prepare the portal, we will also go there."

"Yes, sir."

"I feel something big about to happen."

Enye hurriedly sneaked into the fighter jet base and took off towards the city of Lorhall in the Province of Jererawia.

...

"Who are you?"

Hearing Hunter's question, the figure towering at 2093 feet laughed gracefully.

"Why are you laughing?"

"Darling, aren't you the one who has been seeking me all this time?"

Hunter had made several speculations beforehand, gathering information from around the world about the zodiac signs.

"You are the Libra Zodiac?"

"Indeed, I am the Libra Zodiac, and you can have the final fragment if you meet my conditions."

The figure exuded a majestic and captivating aura. Her blue eyes lacked pupils, her skin appeared smooth and translucent, blending with the star-filled sky. Her wavy hair floated amidst the nebula, and she wore a gown made of stardust. Adorning her chest was the radiant last fragment of the Libra Zodiac, accompanied by golden accessories.

"What are the conditions?"

"I have been waiting for 10,000 years, and until now, no one has successfully gathered a hundred of my fragments. I believe you are the only person who has come this far. I am truly impressed by you, traversing the Heavenly Continent, entering countless wormholes, and defeating trillions of monsters in search of my fragments. Tell me, why are you so obsessed with collecting my fragments?"

"What if I say I'm just curious?"

Libra laughed again.

"Curiosity, that means you are ambitious, perfectionistic."

"Perhaps."

"Has it never crossed your mind that sometimes curiosity can be deadly?"

"All things in this world can be deadly, and death is inevitable, so why bother thinking about it?"

"Fascinating. I hope I can continue to listen to you until the end."

"Until the end of what?"

"Until the end of your life!"

Boom, suddenly Libra unleashed an immense aura from her body, her eyes blazing like the sun.

"I acknowledge your efforts, but they are not enough to make you to be my husband. If you can defeat me, then my heart will surrender."

The pressure from Libra's aura was tremendous. Despite Hunter's attempts to resist with his cutter, he was pushed back.

"Hey, isn't this some form of coercion?"

"It must be coerced. Is marriage a bad thing?"

The aura she emitted grew larger with each passing moment, as if denying Hunter any chance to even get close.

"Didn't you talk about love and such?"

Boom, this time, Hunter couldn't hold back anymore, and he was thrown backward.

"I love anyone I marry." she said with a shout.

"But I don't want to hurt a woman."

A flash of white light entered Libra's head from above.

"You talk too much for a man."

After the light entered Libra's head, she immediately shot a white light towards Hunter. As the light was about to hit Hunter, he suddenly disappeared and reappeared in front of Libra's face.

Ding. As Hunter attempted to punch, there was an invisible shield protecting Libra, but due to the strength of Hunter's punch, the shield cracked like gold before finally breaking. Not wanting Hunter to make another attack, Libra shot another white light.

"Just a moment ago, you were talking about not hurting women."

Hunter quickly moved behind Libra and attempted to strike again, but unexpectedly, the transparent shield was still there and broke again when it received Hunter's punch. Knowing his efforts were futile, Hunter returned to where he first came from.

"There was never any intention in my heart to harm you."

Libra shot a light bullet at her head again, and Hunter evaded it with his incredible speed. Libra continued to try to match his shots with Hunter's speed.

Boom, boom, boom, dozens of shots continuously bombarded Hunter, but none of them hit him, until suddenly Hunter was in front of Libra's face, Bam.

"Is that all you've got?" mocked Libra.

"Oh, be careful, when I get serious, you won't even be able to touch me."

"Bullsh-."

Hunter used one of his abilities, Suppress. The pressure he exerted was many times greater than what Libra had given him, and he was pressed hard, struggling not to plunge into the sea. But unfortunately, the pressure became even stronger, and Libra's body would soon collapse. She forced herself to keep her hands steady and hoped to fight back.

"I WON'T GIVE UP!"

Gradually, a gigantic golden scale emerged from her back, and a sword made of various space materials appeared from her head.

"How dare you make me use my weapons."

The pressure exerted by Hunter on Libra disappeared instantly.

"With this scale, no matter how much pressure or attack you give me, it won't matter, because my scale will always balance the value of damage and resistance. And with this sword, I will end our fight, a sword that knows everything, a judgmental sword, DIE!"

The aura of the sword was immensely powerful, and its dark light burst upward as she raised the sword with both hands, swinging it down.
