Chapter 737 – Powerful Competition
Boom! Bang! Bam!
Alice’s battle raged on. It was already over ten minutes now, and both fighters had gotten chances to end the fight, however, they always managed to find a way to escape.
The young man in particular had gotten more chances, but the Seelie made sure it was impossible for him to capitalize on it. The times he’s gotten the chances were all when the Seelie was distracted with an attack.
Alice was not a weak opponent either, so she was able to hold her own against him.
Alice has had fewer chances to end the battle, but the young man was ingenious in his way of using the lightning element, this has helped him avoid catastrophe.
The battle went on for three more minutes and a great chance finally presented itself to the young man.
As usual, the Seelie was focused on an attack he sent out, Alice was also trying to evade an attack.
Before Alice started moving, he had already predicted the direction she would face, so after sending out an attack that would stop the Seelie from intervening once again, he rushed after Alice and started an onslaught of attacks.
Alice felt immense pressure from the attacks, but she didn’t let it get to her. The pressure made her push herself to go further.
Boom! Bam! Bang!
She was sent flying, but before the young man released another attack, she dished out an attack of her own.
The young man evaded the attack before he continued his attack on Alice who was mid-air.
Alice used the lightning element to its fullest, moving around on the platform. Behind her was the young man.
The exchange became very fast. To ensure that he had to fight only Alice, the young man occasionally attacked the Seelie before it broke through an attack.
Both fighters were moving at an insane speed. To those with lower levels, all they could see were two lightning streaks clashing with each other.
The Seelie wasn’t held back for long, and it soon joined in on the attack. The young man had already placed his all on this particular attack, and he was pretty confident he would be able to deal with Alice before the Seelie was free. He never thought Alice would be able to hold on.
From the time he attacked the Seelie till now, it was only around twenty to thirty seconds, however, he had exchanged multiple blows with Alice. This was the chance he had to eliminate her, but he failed.
Alice, knowing that the Seelie was free once again and the young man would most likely try to think of a way to disengage, stopped running and rushed toward the young man.
She attacked him head-on. With no choice, the young man was forced to block the attack, making him pause for a second. The Seelie caught up with them at this time and attacked from behind.
Alice continued her frontal assault while the Seelie attacked from behind. A pincer attack.
The young man’s opportunity turned into Alice’s in the end. If not for her personal strength, then she would’ve lost the battle already.
Two minutes later.
The young man was unable to hold on any longer, and after getting repeatedly hit by Alice and the Seelie’s attacks, he fell on one knee and gave up on the fight.
Fighting any longer was useless since he would only bring harm to himself.
With him admitting defeat, Alice stopped attacking and just like him, started gasping for air. The battle was on another level. It was one of the most intense battles so far. Reynolds’ battle with that Multi Elementalist was the best in the opinion of the crowd.
“You almost got me.” Alice said as she looked at the young man.
“Almost, but you won in the end.” The young man shook his head with a sigh of disappointment.
“I was lucky. Without my Seelie, you would win.” Alice said. She was clearly relieved and happy by the fact that she won.
Fighting against powerful opponents like this made it entertaining. The pressure would be able to push her to grow stronger.
The young man smiled, turned to the special sitting area where the Elders from the top Factions were seated and announced the Faction he wanted to join.
It was a fire based Faction. Although he had two elements which were lightning and fire, his fire element was the strongest, so he naturally wanted to focus more on that.
Alice returned to her seat with a calm expression.
“Good thing you didn’t lose.” Klaus gave her a thumbs up.
“If I lost against someone as powerful as him, I don’t think I’d feel bad about it.” Alice said.
“No one would. It’s just, I prefer that you won. This will make me get a better ranking in their eyes.” Klaus said with a smile.
“All you think about is joining an all-girls Faction.” Alice looked at him with disgust.
“Because they have the best ice skills in the Region.” Klaus explained before continuing, “You two already joined the best Factions for the lightning element, why should I settle for less?”
“You do have a point. However, it would be extremely difficult to get into an all-girls Faction. There’s a reason it’s an all-girls Faction, and that’s because they don’t accept males.” Alice took a seat as the next fighters got ready to enter the platform.
It was the young man who was on the verge of breaking through to the Seventh stage. His opponent was someone in the Sixth stage like him, but when the battle started, it took him only five minutes to dispatch his opponent.
“You two have a powerful competition.” Klaus said with a grin.
Alice and Reynolds knew he was doing this to annoy them, so they tried not to think about it.
The young lady Grey beat the previous night was the next fighter. Her opponent was a Wind Elementalist, but he lost in the end.
Three battles were already fought and decided, now it was left for the remaining two battles, then the top five would be decided.
