Chapter 351: Taking that skill head-on

"You must attack me using your sword techniques and the highest combat power you can reach. Don't worry about hurting me; if you want to leave here without much trouble, I need to be wounded. Although they might want to attack you hard, they care too much about my well-being, so they will follow me once I tell them," she said again.
Although Matt was doubtful, he knew that Charlotte's current total power was far greater than his. Hurting her was difficult by attacking her head on, so he would need to use his domain of the sword.
"Are you sure? My sword wounds hurt." He replied, and she smiled.
"I need them to hurt so I can be more realistic. Stop hesitating and just do it. We don't have time," she said quickly, and Matt nodded.
"If that's what you want, then fine. Get ready." He said, and suddenly, his eyes sparkled.
His sword appeared in his hand once again, and the sword domain was activated. His power then shot up to 80,000, an astounding figure that few people could ever have in this world.
Matt swung his sword gently then and waited for Charlotte's signal to strike.
She gave it shortly after as she moved her hands to try to parry the next attack.
It would come mixed with Frozen Time, that ability that was a terror on Earth. Though she was always at Matt's side, she never really got to feel it. It was one of the supreme abilities on Earth; it was so good that everyone was afraid of it.
Suddenly, Matt froze time and moved at extreme speed through it, launching several frontal attacks against Charlotte.
At the same time, far away, a powerful explosion sounded.
'They're destroying my domain.' Matt thought. The domain he had thrown this time to counter Charlotte's ability was only a half-hearted domain. It wasn't complete; it was barely and could barely keep Charlotte's ability from manifesting, but it was still pretty great.
But the explosion told him he had to get out of there as soon as possible.
That's why, immediately after hitting her, he turned around, grabbed Alice, and left the place at high speed.
Exactly at the moment he disappeared, the Frozen Time stopped working and a batch of powerful attacks suddenly entered Charlotte's body.
They were so powerful that she had difficulty predicting where they were going. She hadn't actually erected any defense against it because she needed to experience it with her body in order to know what it meant.
So she tried to predict the attacks with the few milliseconds she would have before they all hit. Despite the disadvantage, she managed to predict a few, but most hit their targets, and she was pushed back drastically while blood dripped from her arms.
Then, several people came running in at high speed.
"Lady Charlotte, what happened?!" The powerful grand sorcerers were in shock. It was the first time they had seen this very talented and powerful woman in a pitiful state.
What on earth had happened?
She looked thoughtful but didn't listen to them. Before responding, she needed to process and understand several things.
'So, this is Frozen Time, huh... How weird it feels to be trapped in this ability.' She thought to herself, without answering them.
That made the sorcerers a bit desperate, who kept expressing words of concern for her.
"Lady Charlotte, would you like us to call the Great Leader? Surely, he has some good medicine to cure you."
"No, we should use the Sacred Pond..."
Numerous people spoke, making Charlotte unable to even think, so she sighed.
"I'll need to go to the Sacred Pond. That vampire is a more powerful being than I thought. It has several absurd abilities; we can't let it develop any further," she said with determination in her eyes.

The elders, though surprised, quickly responded. "Lady Charlotte, where are the other elders? We sent more than 3 to protect you; how can they not be here, those bastards!?"
"Shit, those fucking bastards want me to bury them underground alive; where the fuck are they!?"
Many were upset about it, but others wanted to go after Matt. "Lady Charlotte, may I go after him? I assure you I will catch him and bring him to you on his knees to apologize for hurting you." Said one of them, and Charlotte looked at him.
"Can you feel it?" She asked, and the old man shook his head.
"That's right, I can't feel it either. Which means he got away from us. And you guys aren't strong enough to deal with him. We need the leaders to go. I'll try to send one. Now, let's go back to the Mountain; I need to recover.
That saint sword that guy was using seems to have strange effects on it." After answering like that, she turned around and smiled softly, a smile that no one could observe.
After that, the elders followed her. Although some were reluctant to go, they didn't want to anger Charlotte and were also worried about her, so they needed to go back.
Many of them wondered how they would punish those guys who had left Charlotte alone to fight the target.
And several hours later, Charlotte arrived at her Mountain. Her arms were bandaged, and she was sitting, once again, in that small chair that stood in the backyard of the house where she lived.
In front of her was still a chess table with pieces.
Yet, today there was something different about this chess table.
One of the pieces, the King piece, had no head.
In fact, it was broken in half and lying on the chess table.
If someone wanted to play, they could still use it; after all, it still had the bottom part. But the top part was above the chess table.
She looked at it and scoffed. Then she grabbed the top and pulled it gently upward, and suddenly, a power hit it, knocking it to the dust.
This was of little value, and it interfered with her thinking about the things that had happened today.
The plans didn't go as she had planned because the change in Matt had been good enough to need it. But the finality of the plan was perfect now.
'As long as you're on the other side, you'll make it easy for me, Matt. Now, just leave it to me. That humanity that dared to betray you, I will exterminate them, one by one.' A mischievous grin graced her face as she thought about this.
