Capítulo 238: Top-Grade Product. R-18

The hit bruised his cheek and had him skidding away from Melinda while still having the presence of mind to surround himself with Cosmic energy.

By the time he stopped, he was sending a cosmic attack infused with a phenomenon in her direction but Melinda simply divided the attack with a slash of her sword before dashing through the middle to smack his ribs with the flat side of her blade. 

Argo buckled and held his sides as he felt the pain from the strike which threatened to fracture his ribs.

His eyes widened at the realization that Melinda could have simply drawn blood right at that moment but she deliberately smacked him instead.

He had not bled, neither had she, so the duel continues.

Melinda chuckled at the look on his face, 

"What's with that look? If you want this to end, then make me bleed. Until then..." Melinda suddenly vanished from his sights, clearly taking advantage of his lapse in concentration.
