Roan never underestimated anyone, though. Because of that, he and Luina had a really great battle. Luina refused to give up and kept the battle going for over twenty minutes! Against Roan, while being at a similar level of strength, was really a huge feat.
*Clang, clang, clang!*
However, after deflecting the last three flying stars between himself and Luina, Roan’s White Scythe stopped right in front of Luina’s neck. Even her superior control over space was not able to stop that. “It’s my win.”
Luina obviously felt dejected after that. “Sigh… so I couldn’t even do it in the end. Even though I’m suppressing my cultivation to the Initial Stage of the Void Tempering Realm, I’m still two stages higher than you. Not to mention that my Space Power control is definitely above yours. Just how can you keep all my flying stars under check like that?”
Roan retrieved his White Scythe as he wiped the sweat on his face. Surprisingly, there were a few cuts in several places on his body. Even Rean could tell that Roan had truly gone all out to defeat Luina. Sure enough, it was all thanks to his much higher experience that he could jump that extra stage to fight her. “It’s not like you don’t know the answer. You’re using Divine Energy, Wind Element, and Flying Star Intent. However, the thing that made them easy to see was the Space Power you used to make them move around. Don’t forget that we all have natural spatial detection. Controlled Space Power looks like a black hole in our senses. Your flying stars were using it, so they looked like twenty small black holes moving around.”
Luina bitterly smiled in response. “Of course, I know that. However, to be able to keep them in check like you did is ridiculous. If I was fighting in your place, I don’t think I’d be able to do what you did while only wielding one weapon.” She then got up and looked at Roan, telling her, “However, don’t think I’ll give up just because of that. Until you find Calina, I still have a chance.”
Roan then focused on Rean’s Light Element and used Instant Recovery to heal his injuries. It’s not that he didn’t want to do it during the battle, but Luina didn’t give him a single moment to do that. “Suit yourself. What matters for me is that I now know that Rean and I have an advantage of two stages against geniuses like you and the others.”
Rean came closer, saying, “We didn’t expect Luina to know the third level of weapon intents, though. Otherwise, your victory would have been much easier.”
Luina shook her head, replying, “Third level of weapon intent? That’s a normal thing for any of the geniuses of the Jamai Sect as well as the other powers’ geniuses. The lowest level among us would be the Weapon Intent Seed. Of course, Third Level Weapon Intent like mine is quite rare. Only people like me, Leticia, and Olly have them. You can expect other powers to be similar, with only the top five or ten having Third Level Weapon Intent. Maybe not even that much.”
Roan couldn’t help but ask in response, “Does anyone of them have Fourth Level Weapon Intent?”
Rean immediately asked right after. “First of all, what do you even call the fourth level of weapon intent?”
Luina didn’t mind the questions, replying, “I’m not sure if someone in this competition would have Fourth Level Weapon Intent. Think of it as the Soul Transformation Realm for those who don’t have Void Shattering Pills to use. It’s something even harder to figure out. I wouldn’t be surprised even if no one has Fourth Level Weapon Intent on this continent. As for its name, we call it Weapon Heart. In my case, it would be the Flying Star Heart.”
Rean and Roan nodded in response but didn’t ask Luina to explain the difference. As mentioned before, weapon intent couldn’t be taught. Luina wouldn’t be able to teach them anything. One had to learn and improve by themselves if they wanted to increase their level with it. The twins believed they might be the only ones capable of teaching weapon intent to each other. And that was only because they were connected through their souls, capable of sharing literally all the experiences they had. It was a completely different level when compared to explaining something.
Roan then went back to the fight he had with Luina. “By the way, how come it looked like you knew every single movement I was going to do? I won in the end because I overwhelmed you with several moves at the same time. Even so, it was very hard. That’s not something you can do with just Divine Sense, Soul Power Scan, and natural spatial detection.”
Luina immediately puffed up her chest in pride as she replied, “Hehehe! That’s because of my hybrid blood! The karma threads I can see are not just connected to other living beings. They’re connected to everything related to me. Naturally, new karma threads appear every time a new attack was about to come my way. As long as I paid attention to them, I could prepare myself in advance.”
Rean and Roan nodded after hearing that. “The Sacred Eye Race is truly something else. Having half of their body can transform your fairy half into such a great ability.”
Luina agreed with Roan. “I think I’m very lucky as well. And as you always say, one has to use everything they have. There’s no such thing as holding back.”
Roan faintly smiled. “If you had held back, I wouldn’t have stopped my scythe in front of your neck.”
“Would you try to kill me?!” Luina was shocked to hear that.
Roan shrugged his shoulders in response. “Who knows?”
Rean then looked at Roan before using their Soul Connection to talk. ‘What do you think? Our weapons are definitely stronger because of the World Essence added to them, no?’
Roan nodded. ‘They are. However, this girl… she seems to be underestimating her own strength.’
