CHAPTER 1669 LAW OF ULTIMATE FORESIGHT.

*Whoosh*

With the dagger stopping right before touching Thyra's neck, the battle stopped.

Thyra raised both her hands in the air, signalling her surrender, looked into her opponent's green eyes as strange emotions welled in her heart.

"Even she failed huh..."

Ember, who was watching the battle from afar, commented with a solemn look on her face.

Seeing Thyra's defeat with her own eyes, she couldn't help but think about how she was defeated in a similar manner as well.

"That's how many wins in a row...? Is it the fifth or the sixth?"

Skyla was impressed, then, with a big smile on her face, she rushed towards the victor and,

"Sister Rune, you have become so strong!"

Rune smiled.

She didn't say it out loud because she didn't wish to sound arrogant, however, this result was something she had already expected, no matter how many times she played their battle in her head, against Thyra, she simply could not lose.

And of course, Thyra, who had been silently staring at Rune all this time could see it as well.

It wasn't just her, the rest of the women could see it as well, especially the ones with stronger battle senses than the others like Astaria.

"Ultimate Foresight huh...

That's an annoying one."

The Swordswoman commented.

"Especially when combined with someone as agile as her."

Vyriana nodded as well.

Of course, the two women still hadn't fought Rune after her breakthrough, so the outcome of their battles was unknown, but even then,

While Vyriana was pretty much guaranteed a win, the same couldn't be said for Astaria.

Yes, despite having an Absolute Law, Astaria's victory still wasn't assured simply because of how ridiculously strong Rune's Law was.

Even Melia, with her broken Law, the Law of Blood Sovereignty, couldn't defeat her in a one-on-one battle.

"It is a good thing though,

You finally have a worthy opponent you can continuously spar with now."

Vyriana smiled.

"I already had Amaya."

Astaria answered, but the Dragon shook her head.

"That cat is stronger than her."

She revealed and Astaria widened her eyes in fright.

"What...?

Rune is stronger than Amaya...?"

It was ridiculous to even think about it.

Amaya's Law was simply ridiculous. Astaria knew it because the two of them had sparred more times than she could count.

The woman could simply surround herself with that Mist and barely any being at her level would be able to approach her.

She can surround her enemy with endless mist and again, barely anyone at her level would survive.

A nigh-perfect attack and defence.

Even for Astaria, defeating Amaya was difficult task, so just hearing Vyriana talking

about how Rune would be able to do it...

"If what I am seeing is right,

Then yes,

She is indeed stronger than the devourer.

At least when it comes to one-on-one battles."

Vyriana nodded again.

Continuously staring at Rune as if she was trying to assess her. Rune, who noticed her gaze turned towards her and looked into her eyes with a confident look on her face.

Yes, after all these years, she could now finally look into her sisters' eyes without feeling inferior or nervous.

She was now at the same level as them.

Yes, she had finally formed a Law and had broken through, becoming a Divine Stage Cultivator.

"Don't you think it is unfair to continue like this?"

As the two women stared at each other, Vyriana questioned with an amused look on her face.

Rune frowned, the Dragon just chuckled and continued,

"You wish to spar with us but you still haven't told us about your Law.

Isn't it unfair that get to spar with us when we don't know anything about you while you know everything about us?

Don't you think you are only eluding yourself into believing that you are strong by using this method?"

"I already told you the name of my Law."

"You can learn so much from the name."

"A name captures the crux of the Law"

"Yes, that is correct, a name can tell a lot about one's Law.

But it doesn't tell us everything"

"I do not know everything about your Laws either. I am sure all of you have trump cards. you have been hiding"

Rune has lived with these women long enough to understand them.

Every single one of them wanted to do something for Nux, wanted to help him in one way or the other, this is the reason they craved strength, to be able to help him in one

way or the other.

Also, all these women loved attention, so to get that, they came up with different ways to pleasantly surprise him, one of the sure-shot ways to do it was getting stronger and having a trump card that could potentially save their life during the time of crisis.

And just because they all wanted that man's attention, these women, or at least most of

them, had these so-called trump cards in their deck.

"You have seen us spared with each other, Rune. You already know quite a lot."

Vyriana replied.

"You have seen me spar a few times as well."

Rune retorted and this time, Vyriana turned silent.

"So you wish to continue fighting huh..."

"I want to see how many of you I can defeat before I reveal everything"

"Well, I guess I cannot stop you then.""

Vyriana shrugged.

The rest of the women stared at Rune with their eyes burning with fighting intent.

The battles continued and with that... Rune's winning streak continued to increase as

well.

Sixth victory, seventh victory...

8th, 9th...

Yes, she continued to defeat them all.

The only ones left undefeated were Amaya, Riona, Lane, Shadow Lane, Astaria, and

Vyriana.

The first four out of the listed women, simply because they weren't present here.

Riona was... still unconscious.

Amaya was inside Nux's Universe, taking care of her mother.

Lane, well, the woman never left. Nux's shadow before, it was foolish to expect her to do

so now. Not to mention Nux strictly ordered her to not leave his Universe, so she

couldn't leave even if she wanted to.

And Shadow, who inherited Lane's characteristics was the same, not wanting to leave

Nux's shadow.

Out of the women present, Rune had defeated everyone almost except Astaria and

Vyriana, and honestly, even mentioning the women not present here, other than Amaya, where the battle result was still uncertain, Rune had proven that she could defeat all

those women as well.

So the only ones really left were Amaya, Astaria and Vyriana.

Out of whom, she was going to face one of them right now.

Or...

That is what everyone expected but,

"Let's stop here."

Rune spoke.

"What?"

Astaria, who was prepared for an exciting battle frowned.

Clearly, the woman was triggered. She didn't like how Rune wanted to stop just when she

was about to fight her.

"I cannot defeat you right now."

Rune answered calmly.

"What? Chickening out already?"

Astaria tried provocation, Rune, however, simply shook her head and,Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

"It is not that,

In my battle against Sister Fel, I just realized that I am still not used to the stronger body

that I have gotten after my breakthrough, I need more time.

In this condition, I may have defeated others, but you who have been training like a

madwoman all this time,

Defeating you isn't possible.

So to test my powers more fairly, I need time."

"You can get used to your body during the spar, don't worry, you can have as many spars

as you want and we won't count the results until you think you are ready."

Clearly, Astaria didn't wish to stop.

The woman's switch was flipped.

Rune, however, shook her head again, not giving in,

"I promise I will spar with you, Astaria.

Just not right now."

The woman wanted to keep her win streak.

She wanted to defeat all her sisters without losing even once.

Yes, Rune was that determined.

"So, you are not going to tell us about your Law?"

Vyriana spoke with a light 'smile' on her face.

Unlike Astaria, who had found a 'worthy opponent', in Vyriana's case, she was more

interested in the woman's Law.

Unlike in Astaria's case, these battles did not excite her, after all, even after Rune's

dominant display, she knew her victory was certain. How could she be excited for a battle where the result is already known?

So rather than excited, Vyriana was more curious and Rune, who sensed her curiosity,

knew she had to satiate it or else things wouldn't end well.

"My Law is Law of Ultimate Foresight."

"And?" Vyriana tilted her head.

Her eyes literally felt like they were saying, 'Go on. Don't make me wait!

"It allows me to see the near future.

So I use it to predict my enemies' attacks and react accordingly."

"So this is why you countered all my attacks perfectly.

Melia commented and Rune nodded.

"We already know that part."

Vyriana however, wasn't impressed and waved her hand, dismissing the cat.

"What I want to know is what you used against Felberta,

With your body, you shouldn't have been able to dodge all those attacks even if you

knew they were coming,

How did you manage to get out unscathed?"

"I can manipulate time around me, so increasing my speed momentarily is possible."

"And what were those afterimages you used in your battle against Melia? Foresight has no connection to illusions, so how did you create those?"

"Those were Time Echoes."

"Time Echoes."

"Uhh... you can think of it as projections of myself from different times, future and past.

They are just projections right now since I still do not perfectly know how to use my Law, but I have a feeling that as I progress, I can make them become real.

It would be like fighting me and my clones who are exactly like me at the same time."

"...so that means you can pretty much double, triple, or quadruple your power whenever you want...?"

"Well...

Yeah."

Rune shrugged and one more time, the women were speechless.
