Chapter 410: DESIRE TO KILL
Chapter 410: DESIRE TO KILL
In an instant, black sphere materialized in Aaron’s hand, the massive sword humming with raw power, its blade gleaming with ethereal energy that distorted the space around it.
With an impossible swing of his arm, muscles coiling like springs released, he brought the weapon down toward Lilith in a devastating arc.
Lilith smiled, ever so faintly, her eyes gleaming with quiet amusement.
She deflected the attack with a casual flick of her hand, the impact resounding like thunder through the void.
Boom!
She directed the force outward, channeling it toward the sun.
The star shattered in an instant, obliterated into a cascade of fiery debris that scattered across the darkness, leaving only glowing remnants drifting like dying embers.
"You got worked up easily," Lilith said, her voice light and teasing.
"Best you could do was play along and deny. But good thing you didn’t, that saved me the stress."
She created distance between them, stepping back with effortless poise, the void rippling faintly in her wake.
Aaron refrained from replying, staring coldly at Lilith.
His grip tightened on black sphere, the sword’s hum vibrating through his palm.
There was no need to play along anymore.
He knew Lilith was already convinced of her suspicions, his mystic eyes pierced through her facade, revealing the unshakeable certainty in her words, the conviction etched into every subtle shift of her expression.
The air grew heavier, charged with the promise of further confrontation, the shattered star’s remnants casting flickering lights across their faces.
"Quite the impatient man you are," Lilith said, a smile playing across her lips, her eyes gleaming with a mix of amusement and challenge.
The void around them felt heavier now, the shattered remnants of the sun drifting like glowing ashes, casting flickering orange hues across her pale skin.
Aaron, though, wasn’t smiling. His expression remained cold, unyielding, as he sealed the space around the two of them with a subtle flex of his will.
Invisible barriers snapped into place, warping reality to prevent any knowledge of the impending confrontation from leaking out.
The air grew still, almost suffocating, isolating them in a pocket of absolute privacy amid the endless expanse of dead planets and fading starlight.
"How did you know?" Aaron asked coldly, his eyes fixed on Lilith with piercing intensity.
The glints in his gaze burned like embers in the dark, betraying the storm of calculations raging behind them.
Lilith tilted her head slightly, her dark hair shifting like liquid shadows.
"Come on. I’m a devil of lust and desire. Don’t you think telling apart the offspring of one from another should be an easy task for me by now?" She posed the rhetorical question with a casual shrug, still standing just an arm’s reach away from him.
Her presence radiated a seductive warmth, laced with an undercurrent of ancient power that made the void hum faintly.
I have to kill her, Aaron thought to himself, the realization settling like ice in his veins.
He knew full well that she could unravel his entire plans,expose his secrets, shatter the delicate web he had woven across galaxies.
There was no room for hesitation; her knowledge was a threat that demanded immediate eradication.
Without holding back, he swung his sword toward Lilith’s neck, shadows enveloping Black Sphere in a swirling cloak of darkness.
The blade hummed with lethal energy, cutting through the void with a low, ominous whisper, tendrils of night trailing in its wake like smoke from a dying fire.
With fluid movement, Lilith blocked the attack once more, her claws extending in a blur of razor-sharp elegance.
The impact rang out like clashing thunder, sparks of dark energy scattering into the emptiness, illuminating the cold determination etched on both their faces.
Stretching her hand outward, she pointed her fingers directly toward Aaron’s head.
The gesture was deceptively simple, her nails glinting like polished obsidian.
With a nonchalant flick of those fingers, she sent Aaron catapulting backward through the void.
The force hit him like an invisible hammer, air rushing past his ears in a deafening roar despite the vacuum.
Aaron crashed forcefully into a drifting rock, the impact cracking the asteroid’s surface and sending shards floating away in slow motion.
Pain radiated through his back, sharp and fleeting, but he pushed it aside, his body already healing from the blow.
"You are rather impatient," Lilith said, her smile widening with genuine entertainment.
"You don’t really think you can kill me, can you?" The words dripped with mockery, her posture relaxed amid the debris, as if this were nothing more than a playful spar.
Rising from the rock, Aaron refrained from saying anything.
Dust clung to his clothes, shaken free as he straightened, but his focus remained razor-sharp.
The death of Lilith was the only thought filling his head, a singular obsession driving every muscle, every breath.
He allowed himself to be cloaked in shadow, the darkness spreading outward like ink in water, reaching every corner around him.
It pulsed with life, cool and enveloping, merging with his form until he became a silhouette of night itself, his outline blurring against the starry backdrop.
He transformed Black Sphere into Dragon Forge, the blade gleaming with a destructive aura that warped the space around it.
Ancient inscriptions along its edge ignited with fiery crimson light, promising annihilation, the air shimmering with heat from its latent power.
"Quite impressive for a descendant of Dracula," Lilith muttered, her eyes narrowing slightly in approval.
She was genuinely impressed by the transformation, the way the sword seemed to draw in the surrounding darkness, amplifying Aaron’s presence.
But she wasn’t completely sold; deep down, she expected more from him, a flicker of curiosity stirring in her ancient gaze.
Aaron didn’t care about Lilith’s thoughts.
They were irrelevant, mere distractions in the face of his goal.
He attacked with blazing speed, vanishing and reappearing before her in a heartbeat.
The void blurred around him, shadows trailing like comet tails.
He stabbed his sword at her chest, the point aimed true, humming with intent to pierce through flesh and bone.
But Lilith reacted just as fast, dodging the attack with effortless calmness.
