Skadi, returning to infinity

They realized things were going badly.

But before they could make a move, Skadi's [Time Sphere] activated, trapping Dio right at the edge. p6ny

"Did you know that you're not the only one who can use the ability to manipulate time?"

Skadi lightly jumped and landed in front of Dio.

Her height of 1.6 meters without shoes made her look like a child compared to Dior, who was nearly two meters tall with shoes on.

However, in Dio's eyes, whose time had been frozen, Skadi was like a monster capable of shattering mountains and splitting seas.

She raised a fair and delicate fist in front of her and swung it down at her stomach.

The fist wasn't fast, but it still tore open spacetime rifts in the [Time Domain].

This scene filled Dio with fear; he wanted to move, but there was no way he could.

"Boom!"

A small, delicate fist landed on Dio's muscular abdomen, and a deafening explosion resounded, sending Dio flying.

Time Domain

"Wow~" Dio spat out a mouthful of blood while in mid-air, with some chunks of flesh mixed in with the blood.

His internal organs were destroyed at that moment.

This indicates that Dio's injuries were extremely serious; even if he didn't die, he would be practically crippled.

"Hmm? Are you alright, Dior?"

Kibuko Muzan's figure appeared behind Dio, and he hugged the much taller, burly man and put him on the ground.

Seeing his mouth full of blood and his body completely weak, I couldn't help but feel worried.

“Lancelot, you are a knight, not a slave.”

Skadi withdrew the [Time Domain]. This time, neither Dio nor Kibu passed Muzan, and she easily walked up to the Black Knight.

Looking up at the black knight, I saw that his hands were trembling.

But this time he didn't call out the name "Guinevere," he just stared at Skadi.

The girl ignored him and gently took Medea from the arms of the black knight who offered no resistance.

Then, she slowly returned to the sea, looking down at Medea's fair face covered in blood as she walked, feeling very distressed.

"I told you to watch out, and look, you still got caught."

"Fortunately, they came directly to me, otherwise it would have been a bit of a headache."

That's what they said, but the life energy continuously flowing into Medea's body quickly healed her injuries, allowing...

She recovered from her dazed state.

"I'm sorry, Master."

She had just seen how badly Skadi was beaten by the enemy's attack while trying to save her.

Although she wasn't injured, she was still a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, just be more careful next time."

Skadi didn't scold her much, but just gave her some instructions.

"You stand here and wait for my triumphant return."

They carried Medea a hundred meters away and placed her on the sea.

Medea can levitate, so there's nothing to worry about.

"Master, why did you save me like this?"

She was prepared to be killed, lose the Holy Grail War, and return to the Throne of Heroes.

As for completing the Holy Grail War or making a wish, she no longer had any such thoughts.

However, Skadi "rescued" her, just as bravely as the prince in the legend who saved the beautiful princess.

Although Skadi looks more like a princess.

But her actions and her abilities are just too captivating.

"Because you are my servant, I must save you."

"Besides, even if you are dissatisfied with me, you are still my servant."

"Only I can bully my servants. How could I possibly allow them to turn you into this?"

After saying that, she pulled down Medea's hat and gently stroked her head.

"Alright, I should go deal with them now. You just watch."

"I will not let anyone who bullies you get away with it."

Skadi made her promise, then turned around.

"Let's go."

But when she turned around, Dio had already recovered from some of his injuries thanks to his powerful vampire regenerative abilities and was able to stand up.

His standing up means he still has the ability to fight.

As long as the four of them are together, they can pose a very great threat to Skadi.

However, Gai Tsutsugami seemed to have received Aizen's message and immediately told Dio and the others to leave and stop entangled with Skadi there.

"Huh? You're leaving already?"

Skadi didn't kill, but that doesn't mean she couldn't.

She's just waiting for the right opportunity; it's not the right time yet.

He thought that if she didn't kill them, these people would fight him for a while longer, but he didn't expect Aizen to give the order to leave directly.

This is really interesting. Is Aizen a coward, or is he just cautious?

"Let's go." Muzan tugged at Dio's arm, who was glaring angrily at Skadi, to stop him from doing anything rash.

"I understand." Dio took a deep breath to calm himself down.

Skadi's abilities are unfathomable. She seemed to be preparing to unleash them by closing her eyes earlier, but the terrifying power she displayed at the last moment, abruptly stopping her, left them with a sense of awe.

I was still a little shaken.

They haven't lost any men yet, but the other side has already taken everything they wanted.

Without hostages who could threaten Skadi, they were helpless.

"Next time we meet, I will definitely kill you."

Kibu was the first to say goodbye to Muzan, but he was the last to leave.

She turned her head to look at Skadi a hundred meters away, and her red pupils suddenly turned into vertical pupils, as if making a declaration to Skadi.

"Then I'll be waiting."

Tilting her head, the girl remained noncommittal about her threat.

"I look forward to fighting you."

Kibuko Muzan looked forward to the battle with Skadi, but she didn't know that she had become Skadi's next prey.

"Ki-Dancer Muzan..."

"It seems that she is in female form in the [Game of Gods]."

"Well, there's something even more fun coming up."

Skadi always has a special interest in strong young talents.

Whether it's turning someone into one of her own or turning them into a pet, it's all within her area of ​​interest.

After all, she needs to become stronger and make good use of Skadi's talent and abilities. The stronger and more powerful her teammates are, the better.

Compared to the unruly Dio, the calm and intelligent Kibuko Muzan was her preferred target.

Of course, Inazuma is actually better.

The problem is that unless she uses [Assimilation], Aizen can't possibly get together with her.

Since we're going to use "assimilation," we should just target the goals that interest us the most.

Wait for me, I'll dance past Muzan...

Chapter 72: The Real Girl?

"Have they left...?"

Medea floated behind Skadi, and she seemed to have begun to actively communicate with Skadi about things other than the Holy Grail War.

"Ah."

Nodding, Skadi watched them leave, but she didn't feel relaxed at all.

"If this continues, they will pose a greater threat to you once they gain more control over your abilities."

Medea understood perfectly why they had retreated.

“I know, so I’m not going to give them a chance.”

While they were indeed waiting for the right opportunity, considering that waiting any longer would be giving the other side time and opportunity, Scar...

Ti plans to deal with them all first before resolving the Holy Grail War.

After all, she still has tasks to complete with Alaya, and it would be best to resolve them quickly to avoid any unforeseen complications.

"You wouldn't be planning to...?"

Skadi's words worried Medea. Was she going to go alone?

"Yes, I'll handle them all by myself."
