With this ability, the other side was able to contend with it.
Thanatos was incredulous to discover that this human, whom it had previously been unable to dodge even a casual strike, was now...
After experiencing several deaths, it has become able to predict its attacks.
Each time she revives, this human is able to avoid the same attack that killed her before.
Thanatos found this ability to learn and adapt to be truly astonishing.
It is astonishing that a human being could gradually become accustomed to and gain insight into its own attacks through a series of deaths.
How is that possible?
Thanatos slowly raised his arm, intending to create another invisible barrier.
It wanted to repeat its old trick, thinking that the barrier would be hard for the other party to spot at such close range.
But this time, Erica seemed to have been prepared.
She quickly mobilized the earth element within her body, creating a cloud of dust several meters high behind her.
The transparent barrier is where the dust cannot dissipate.
Erica realized that Thanatos still wanted to force her towards the scythe.
This time, however, the transparent wall had no effect on her.
Their position had already been identified, rendering any sneak attacks from behind ineffective.
Erica dodged, and the transparent wall stiffly swept past her.
The unobstructed wall rushed rapidly toward Thanatos.
Thanatos simply squeezed its fingers, and the wall that was about to crash into it shattered with a deafening roar.
Along with the dust above, it was blasted into the air, enveloping Thanatos.
As the smoke and dust cleared, Thanatos's tattered robes had completely changed color.
Even its illusory shadow seemed to be breathing heavily, trying to blow the dust out of its cloak.
Seeing the god's embarrassed state, Erica sneered and said disdainfully:
"Why do you think you can kill me again with the same attack?"
Erica said this, but her hands were still trembling uncontrollably with fear.
No matter how many times she experiences it, she will never get used to the feeling of death.
Erica knew that her ability to remain calm in such a tense battle was entirely due to Professor Victor's magical support.
[First-Tier Magic: Self-Suggestion]
This simple yet effective magic allowed her to temporarily forget the terror of death.
However, once those painful memories are triggered, her body trembles involuntarily.
The deep fear of death is not so easily eliminated.
However, Erica still wanted to thank Professor Victor.
Without the professor, Erica would have suffered a mental breakdown from the pain when she was first "killed."
Because that's the real feeling of death.
Even if she knew she could be resurrected, the pain she would experience afterward would be unbearable.
Although Erica is known as a genius, she is very clear about her own limitations at this moment.
Not to mention, she can now calmly analyze how she just died and use that information to predict the Grim Reaper's attack.
Therefore, Erica felt a silent sense of gratitude in her heart:
"Thank you, Professor."
At the same time, she began to calmly rethink how to defeat the Grim Reaper before her.
After dying more than a dozen times, she had roughly figured out Thanatos's attack methods.
If she could react in time, she could have effectively avoided her fate of death.
However, directly defeating this Grim Reaper still seems somewhat out of reach.
Perhaps because of the sheer number of deaths, Erica has begun to feel somewhat numb.
A very bold idea slowly began to take shape in her mind.
Erica slowly lowered her head and stared at her palm.
A flickering crimson flame appeared out of thin air in her palm.
Erica narrowed her eyes slightly.
Her gaze penetrated to the heart of the flames, as if she could see a phantom beast of calamity appearing and disappearing within them.
Although the raging fire in his hand did not have much impact on the surroundings, the calamity beast in the flames seemed to be sinking into a deep rage.
It roared in the fire, unleashing terrifying flames that made the flames in its palms even hotter.
