Chapter 19

Flandre summoned a barrage of colorful bullets and hurled them towards Sakuya, in which the other retaliated by jumping upwards and flung her own daggers. The little vampire chose not to dodge them, instead blowing them up and vaporized them.

Still midair, Sakuya, maneuvered herself to land behind Flandre, dashing towards her as soon as she touched the ground, engaging into close combat. Flandre immediately summoned what seemed to be a spear shaped like a crooked hand of a clock needle, and wielded it masterfully to thwart any of Sakuya's melee combos.

When their weapons clashed, it was always Flandre who emerged victorious between their contests of strength. As such, Sakuya opted not to parry that peculiar weapon of the vampire's, casting her time stopping spell in rapid succession to dance around and strike the constantly stopping and moving foe.

"You are… fast!" In Flandre's eyes, Sakuya was merely moving with great agility, as she did not stop time sufficiently to allow her to move in a very farfetched manner. Taking many hits, Flandre began to get more and more excited, as she broke free of Sakuya's pummeling and flew up in the air.

"You are powerful, Sakuya!" Flandre held her clock needle spear high up her head, infused it with fire and enlarged it tenfold. "It's been a while since I used this!"

When done imbuing her weapon with enhanced power, Flandre swooped down and used her unusual wings to glide around the room, swinging around her large spear.

In order to deal with such a large assault, Sakuya had no choice but to stop time for a longer period, which finally caused Flandre to realize the oddity in her movements, as she would just vanish and reappear in a totally different location, not to mention every time Sakuya disappeared impossibly, new daggers would just suddenly appear and rain down on her.

"Is this your ability? You're amazing!" This little girl was pretty gifted in battle but hardly had any experience, so was unable to figure out the reason behind Sakuya's peculiar movements. Seizing this advantage, Sakuya remained having the upper hand, dodging every single attack and landed some of her own.

But Flandre was still standing strong despite taking countless hits, blood had already been trickling from her body for a while now, but she didn't seem to grow weaker as the battle goes, instead the opposite occurred, she would become faster and stronger as the match dragged on.

"Nice! How about this?" Flandre then flew up high again, out of Sakuya's reach. With a yell, she split herself into four, each of them having identical appearances and power. In each of their hand, the burning spear was still intact.

Sakuya braced herself knowing the dire situation she was currently in. From all directions, Flandre stormed the room and swept the room mercilessly and recklessly, as if a raving child having her utmost fun destroying her toys, the room was severely damaged and the ceiling began to crumble. Sakuya would have to dodge the flurry of attacks from Flandre, as well as the rocky hazards from the surroundings.

It became more and more difficult for Sakuya to pull out her dagger and hurl them, as there was almost no room of opportunity to do so. Stopping time didn't help much as the attacks came to close of each other, and all the time was spent just to move away to a miniature safe location.

"It's over!" Flandre finally had Sakuya cornered and caught her from behind, slamming down her spear and brought the airborne Sakuya crushing towards the ground, suffering heavy damage.

Sakuya coughed blood, her body totally numb from the impact. Flandre laughed loudly with delight, "I've won! I've won!" Her clones were then retracted, leaving the real body floating above Sakuya.

But before she was done celebrating, Sakuya clenched her fist and gritted her teeth, manipulated the space around her to open several portals all over the room which had daggers coming out from all of them.

"Haaaaa!" With one last gasp of breath, Sakuya commanded the daggers to direct their target towards Flandre. Barrages of daggers kept coming out from the portals as they rained down onto Flandre from all directions, like a trapped rabbit.

"What?" Flandre was totally caught off-guard by this final attack and got stabbed by countless daggers, pinning her down to the ground on the other side of the hall, like a porcupine.

Now sharing the similar fate as Sakuya, Flandre had never suffered so much pain before, and began to cry and flail her body all over. "It hurts! It hurts!"

"Now, now, Flandre, play time's over." Remilia's voice was heard as she was seen descending into the scene after exiting a portal conjured by Patchouli, who also entered the hall after Remilia.

"It was an impressive battle, Sakuya managed to do more damage to Flandre than I had expected." Patchouli remarked, floating her away towards the injured maid. "She desperately needed some immediate treatment, or else her life would be in danger."

"Patch her up, would you? She's only human, and she's my valuable servant. Oh and fix up everything that's damaged as well," said Remilia, smiling at her friend as she held her sister in her hands and brought her to her own chamber.

"What would you do without me…?" Patchouli shook her head, summoning the five philosopher's stones and performed the necessary spells to return everything back to normal.
