INTERSTELLAR ERA: MY MIND IS A LIBRARY

Chapter 109: INVINCIBLE

Aiden landed softly on the ground, barely stirring any dust as he stepped onto the floor.

He looked at Lilura, gaze calm.

Lilura did not waste time.

She shot forward, her axe erupting with black flames as she crossed the distance in a blink.

Aiden stepped back, the axe slicing the air in front of him.

Before Lilura could pull back, a blue thorn shot from the earth, piercing through her arm.

Blood spilled to the ground.

Aiden’s leg tore forward almost immediately, aether flaring along his foot as it smashed into Lilura’s head.

The sound of bone breaking echoed through the air.

Lilura’s eyes widened as blood poured from her mouth.

A sharp sound tore from the sky almost immediately.

The dagger pierced through her skull fully.

Her body fell to the ground, lifeless.

Aiden shook his head, his body moving before his mind could follow.

He backflipped, landing far from that spot.

Dark flames enveloped Lilura’s corpse and she appeared from the heart of the flames.

She stared at Aiden like he was a demon.

Finally, she smirked.

"Who knew that an ordinary butler was this strong? I thought Aldren overestimated you."

"You would be surprised," Aiden replied with a chuckle.

"Why don’t you join me, and we will rule this planet together."

Aiden did not reply for a moment.

Then he spoke.

"Scram."

Just a word, casual and cold.

But Lilura could not take the insult.

The temperature rose instantly.

The floor began to melt, bricks turning molten under the increased heat.

Lilura shot forward like a bullet.

Aiden sidestepped, a punch detonating the space beside him.

He raised his left leg, avoiding a sweeping attack from Lilura.

His fist shot forward before she could withdraw.

Lilura grabbed the hand with her palm.

Her knee buckled, the earth beneath her caving in.

Magma spilled from the floor.

A layer of aether covered Aiden’s body, shielding him from the heat.

Lilura did not care.

She drove her leg toward Aiden’s chest.

The kick connected, but there was no impact.

Lilura’s eyes widened as she stared at Aiden.

His stoic expression was the last thing she saw before her body split from the torso, a massive blade of aether tearing through from the side.

Aiden created distance between them and looked at the dark flames already flaring from her corpse.

"Only Max’s skill can work on her regeneration," he muttered.

"I wonder where he is now."

"Fireball," he said calmly.

A massive ball of flames began to form behind him, drawing from his seemingly infinite aether.

Before Lilura’s body could fully form, the ball was hurled at her, exploding on contact.

Lilura exploded, pieces of her body flying through the air from the impact.

Aiden activated another technique almost immediately.

"Divine Smite."

Lilura’s body, which had just formed, was split in two as a huge sword of light cut down from the sky.

Her body reformed instantly, faster, before the sword could even pass through completely.

Aiden blinked, and she was gone.

"You think you can use distance to your advantage for long?" The voice came from behind him, savage but alluring at the same time.

Aiden bent backward, the axe slicing through the air above him.

His body tilted to the side from that impossible position.

Less than a second later, Lilura’s axe cleaved downward, digging into the earth where Aiden had stood just moments ago.

She pulled the axe back, already swinging at Aiden’s new position.

Clang.

A loud chime echoed through the air, spreading far across the battlefield.

Lilura looked up.

Rip.

Flesh parted and blood spilled.

Miller pulled his sword back, his gaze cold as he looked at Lilura’s body.

Then a sudden pull.

His body was carried far away from that spot.

Before he could even look at who had carried him, he saw the inferno of dark flames rise from the spot he had just left.

Miller looked at Aiden. "Thank you," he said.

Aiden nodded.

"She keeps regenerating. There is nothing I can do to her," he said.

Miller thought for a while.

Then he activated his skill.

"Rule Domain."

Space began to compress under the weight of a stronger space.

"No regeneration here," Miller said.

Before Aiden could even process Miller’s words, Miller shot forward.

"I guess I have to kill someone in the end," Lilura said, dark flames roaring along her frame in controlled bursts.

A massive ball of dark flames formed above her head.

The fabric of space itself began to burn, boiling rapidly under the immense heat.

Then the ball began to compress.

In the blink of an eye, it was nothing larger than a bullet.

Miller furrowed his brows at the new size, but only for a moment.

He closed the distance between them and slashed outward in a wide horizontal arc.

The air groaned as the bullet tore through it.

The slow drip of liquid touching the floor filled the air for a moment, followed by the heavy thud of something falling.

The space began to crumble as Miller’s life force faded.

Aiden looked on in shock.

The hole in Miller’s body was consuming him from within.

Aiden shot forward, his fist detonating the air as he punched.

Aether condensed along his arm, creating a gauntlet.

The punch connected, smashing into Lilura’s stomach.

No shift.

She did not so much as twitch from the attack.

Her fist lashed out, smashing into Aiden’s head.

Blood sprayed into the air as his head jerked upward from the impact.

Before his head could snap back into place, her leg drove into his chest.

Aiden was knocked unconscious, his body flying to the far end of the field.

Before Lilura could look away, a dagger pierced through her chest.

She twisted, the dagger tearing a wide gash through her heart and chest.

Lilura did not care.

She kicked Mira in the knees, destabilizing her, before kicking her in the head.

Mira was driven into the earth beneath from the force.

She did not give up.

Another dagger appeared in her hand.

She drove it forward into Lilura’s foot.

Lilura looked down with a scornful gaze.

Her other leg shot forward into Mira’s chin.

Mira’s body lifted off the ground, spinning through the air before crashing into the earth several meters away.

She did not get up immediately.

Lilura pulled the dagger from her foot and dropped it without looking at it.

Dark flames rose from both wounds, sealing them in the blink of an eye.

She looked around at the bodies scattered across the field.

Then her gaze settled on Miller, still breathing but barely, the hole in his head consuming him slowly from the inside.

Lilura exhaled slowly, the dark flames settling around her frame like a cloak.

She began to walk toward Miller.

He was the most dangerous one. Even dying, she did not want to give his domain the chance to affect her.

She raised her axe.

A sound stopped her.

Small. Almost nothing.

The click of a pistol.

Lilura turned.

Mira was on one knee, her arm raised, the pistol aimed squarely at Lilura’s face.

Lilura chuckled softly.

Another bang.

A hole tore through Lilura’s right eye.

She began walking toward Mira, changing targets.

The hole in her eye did nothing to stop her.

Another bang, then several.

Holes opened across Lilura’s body but were sealed before they could take effect.

Mira switched the gun from a pistol into a rifle.

She did not hold back.

Her aether ran through the gun’s barrel, sending hundreds of bullets at Lilura with each passing second.

"There is something you have all failed to understand," Lilura said, resting on one knee as she stood before the gun’s barrel.

The bullets pierced through her head but she did not stop talking.

"There is nothing you can do to me. I am literally invincible here."

She raised her palm calmly, grabbing the barrel bare.

Before Mira could react, the gun was no longer in her hand.

Lilura looked at the rifle for a moment.

Then she crushed it.

The metal folded and split apart, falling from her fingers in pieces.

Mira watched it hit the ground, but she did not linger.

A silver arc trailed through the air, a sharp whistle tearing toward Lilura’s chin.

Lilura sidestepped, letting the dagger pass.

Then she swept Mira off her feet.

Mira twisted before she touched the ground, her body performing a quick recovery before she could hit the floor.

Lilura looked on with a stoic face.

Her leg whipped outward, finding Mira’s chest.

Mira caught the leg with her free hand, then drove her dagger into the ankle.

Lilura kicked back, pulling her leg free from Mira’s grip.

Blood trickled down the leg before evaporating under the extreme heat of the dark flames that erupted from the wound.

Mira pressed forward, her dagger a streak of silver as she thrust toward Lilura’s heart.

Lilura did not move.

She embraced the attack, a smirk spreading across her lips as the dagger pierced through.
