Chapter 344: Matthew vs Vanessa Cromwell (2)
The fight hadn't lasted too long, but it was enough time for many people to come and try to help Vanessa, who seemed to be having trouble.
Matt then used his frozen time a few more times and appeared in a building near where Vanessa had fallen.
When his ability was cut out, dozens of bodies fell dead all over the place.
Most of them granted him power, so his base power was increasing. But his current battle power remained the same.
When Matt stood over that building, he frowned.
'Killing her with a sword is very difficult. Attacks given in Frozen Time come with a delay and even though it's milliseconds of delay, she manages to use that time to avoid serious damage. Also, her body is extremely tough.' He frowned and then felt movement, so he quickly jumped.
Several flashes then occurred in the building where he was, and several explosions caused the entire building to explode.
'I almost couldn't perceive it.' He did not hesitate to freeze time once again and launch himself at her at a great speed.
But at that moment, some of his attacks missed the exact spot, as she managed to break his ability before doing so.
Both of them were knocked back to two different sides. And Matt sighed. 'I can't close the power gap with frozen time, huh.'
After all, his frozen time used mental power mixed with his vampiric power. Not being able to use it in full glory, she could break it whenever she tried.
Still, she couldn't break it completely.
When they were pushed back to opposite sides, they stared at each other.
The one with the most visible wounds was Vanessa. Blood ran down her face, and a small drop of blood trickled down her neck. She had avoided a fatal blow, but that also surprised her.
"You are a monster." She said softly. She didn't know how she should act right now, but acknowledging her opponent was something she didn't mind doing.
Matt smiled a little. "Well, you seem to have noticed. That's right, I'm not only talented, I also know things you don't know and can't do. I can even counter almost everything about you. It's a pity our power difference is so great. Otherwise, I think you'd be in two parts by now." He said, scoffing a little.
She sighed, but she had to admit it. "Still, it's not like I don't have a way to counter you and kill you. If I can't do it through my abilities, then I'll do it by force. Let me see what else you can do, vampire." Somehow, she had taken an interest in Matt.
And while she wanted to kill him, she also wanted to find out what more secrets he had or, at the very least, understand the secret that allowed him to counter her domain.

She prepared to attack him once more, but then she sensed movement in the vicinity, and Matt was forced to freeze time and jump away. The power coming from the surroundings was terrifying enough to break his ability.
So, he was targeted while he was jumping.
'Shit, too strong.' He grumbled but had to take a full-on fist attack coming from the side.
Because he was in the air, he was sent flying across the city and slammed hard into a huge building. Although large, the building ended up falling into rubble from the impact.
The damage in the city was tremendous; there were also dead from one side to the other, especially among the civilians.
Right after that, Vanessa stared at the people who had arrived.
"I told you I would take care of this; why are you meddling in my business?" she asked fiercely.
The people who had arrived were Grand Sorcerers, quite strong.
They looked at Vanessa. "Miss Vanessa, that guy managed to counter your strongest domain. That means he is dangerous. The longer he stays alive, the more dangerous he will be. Our mission is to kill him. Don't forget Lady Charlotte's orders!" they said with some anger.
That made Vanessa frown. "Hmph, alright. Let's kill him once and for all." She replied in annoyance and looked once more at Matt, who was in the distance, standing up once more.
'They are not as strong as Vanessa Cromwell, but apparently, their domains are force type, and when they attack with everything, there is no way my ability can resist. After all, the ice abilities don't seem to be taking into account my current 80,000 power; if anything, they take into account my base power to work.' He sighed after realizing this and put away his sword.
He had felt the gaze of all those powerful people who seemed to want to slit his throat alive.
Still, he was not at all worried, even though he knew he was in a difficult situation.
Although he hadn't realized it, his personality and mentality had become very well-established since he came to this place. Previously, a situation like this could make him despair, and he would lose his calm, which would make him make mistakes, so it was the worst thing that could happen to him.
But right now, his reasonable thoughts and calm mind allowed him to judge the situation clearly at all times. It was a remarkable change in him, though somehow he hadn't realized it.
He deactivated his sword domain and stared at the people before him. He could feel that they all outnumbered him in power by more than double. It was an absurd difference, one that his domain alone should be able to counter.
Still, he wouldn't use it this time.
"Oh, you give up, vampire?" Vanessa asked in surprise, seeing the reduction in Matt's power. While she was surprised that he had a way to increase his power twice as much, she was more surprised that he had stopped using that ability.
And he smiled.
"Give up? Such a word is not written in my books, Human. I just want to try one more thing before I go." He said, smiling softly.
That surprised Vanessa, but one of the Grand Sorcerers scoffed before she could speak up to question him.
"Leave? Hahahahahaha, well, let me see how a measly vampire like you can leave here today."
Vanessa shot him a furious look after hearing him say this, which caused him to shut up. Then she looked at Matt once more.
"If you show me something exciting, I can choose to have you as my slave. So, if you want to keep your life, you'd better try a little harder." She smiled after saying this and prepared to strike.
Matt shrugged his shoulders. "Hahaha, you're not worthy of me being your slave, human woman. I'll just show you what it means to have a power capable of freezing reality itself. So come, attack me with everything you have." He said, smiling softly as he waved his fingers at Vanessa to provoke her.
In power, he is at a disadvantage, even if he were to use his sword domain. But the 200 meters of sword mastery is annoying; every now and then, he gets out of it and has to activate it again.
Having that 80,000 power was not so good for him then. His attacks were limited anyway, and his range even more so.
But, if he used his Icy Curse, such a situation would not be seen. He would be at a greater disadvantage around power, but there is a clear reality in this world.
Sometimes, abilities can break a power disadvantage.
Matt, being the biggest believer that a weak person can kill a strong person, provided the circumstances are met, how could he not show it?
This was the time to use, for the first time in this world, his Icy Curse in its base state, but also the most important state of it. His Reality Freeze.
