Chapter 676 - 652: Sparring 2
After using Sound amplification to make Lilith dizzy, Eris immediately thrust her rapier forward; she infused mana into her Gift, sending three consecutive thrusts instead of one.
Those thrusts were fast and deadly like bullets; however, the dizzy Lilith still reacted; she moved her sword with such perfect accuracy that one would not believe that she was still feeling dizzy. Lilith used the sword to deal with Eris's attack.
Meanwhile, Eris attacked, she opened her mouth.
"HAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!"
She let out a powerful roar; instead of howling as a wolf should do, she roared.
Mana was infused in her voice, turning the roar into a powerful shockwave that sent everything around her flying.
At the same time, she activated a movement technique to move away.
However, the scene that appeared in her sight next shocked him. Lilith's purple eyes turned dark, and she moved her sword so casually that it seemed she wasn't putting in any effort.
Eris was fascinated; a sword was cutting through the shockwaves, coming straight to her chest.
The overbearing sword cut through everything. The sword's edge sliced the shockwave apart and erased the mana it carried. Then, it continued forward, moving through space to chase after her.
Finally, Eris panicked. She could feel that regardless of how much she struggled, this sword would pierce her heart. She sensed her death approaching so slowly that it seemed like time slowed down.
Suddenly, just as that sword was about to pierce Eris's heart, it vanished like an illusion.
Eris's instinct kicked in, telling her that something wasn't right; she tried to use her rapier but immediately understood that she wouldn't make it; therefore, she decided to use the only weapon left at her disposal.
Lilith, who had used a mental attack on Eris, appeared behind her to finish her.
''You have lost. It-"
Lilith didn't get the opportunity to finish her sentence before something struck her in the stomach, sending her flying backward. Even Alex stood up as he didn't expect such a sudden turn.
Lilith, who received Eris's tail powered by wind element, rolled on the ground twice. She felt like vomiting; the blow was too intense, turning her inside up and down.
The demon princess was in so much pain that she couldn't get back on her feet; it was not a trick but how she was really feeling at the moment. Eris's strike was like getting slammed by a huge hammer.
''It's Eris's win!"
Someone among the spectators said, but Alex didn't share the same view as this person; the person who was sure of Eris's victory was none other than Gracier.
Eris, who approached Lilith lying on the ground in pain and was about to finish her, froze; her instinct warned her to escape as Lilith, although suffering, would be using her ultimate skill.
Indeed, Lilith was about to use the strongest skill in her arsenal; she called it the black hole, a skill capable of engulfing anything sending them to an unknown location.
''Bl-"
Faster than she could finish calling the skill name as it was necessary to call the skill name, Eris also activated her ultimate skill, it was not perfect yet, but it was a deadly skill.
[Noiseless !]
Instantly all sound, even the surrounding wind, was removed, turning the surrounding area into a sound and no wind zone.
Lilith couldn't finish her sentence, and at the same time, she couldn't breathe; in an instant, her face turned red, Eris's face reddened; she was also suffering from her skill. Looking at her, Lilith knew she could not win this fight despite being stronger than Eris, while she was also suffering from the effects of her skill. Lilith believed that when it comes to stamina, the one that could retain her breathing more than the other, Eris would beat her. Hence, she lifted her arm to show that she had surrendered.
Alex was shocked by the unexpected development; it took him some time before announcing the winner.
''The winner is Eris Wolfang.'' He declared.
Both Eris and Lilith were lying on the ground breathing with difficulty.
''Next group on the stage.'' Alex's voice forced the girl's attention back on what was currently happening. Maria, Artemia, postponed any question they had for later. The truth was that they were shocked by Eris's strength, especially that skill she used at the end; once it's perfect, it would be difficult to counter, only a few people could be able to stop her; naturally, Alex being one of them wasn't a surprise, not only he can cancel any magic he can also stop time, rewind time. He is too strong.
While Maria and Artemia thought of Alex's strong, Gracier and Alice walked on the stage. As usual, Alice's face was cold while Gracier was smiling, cracking her knuckles; she looked like a school bully doing that.
''The second match will begin! Ready?" Alex announced while looking at the two, they nodded, and Alex lowered his arm.
''Begin!"
Immediately, Alice disappeared, and when she reappeared, she was before Gracier slashing at the latter neck. Still, the attack didn't connect as the white sword passed through Gracier's body like a mirage. Alice's expression did not change calmly; she spun and blocked the real Gracier's strike.
Clangs!
''Fireball!"
''Wind Shield!"
BOOM!
One launched a direct attack from her scythe while the other blocked the blow using a wind shield. It was a perfect synchronization making one wonder how many times those two fought to be able to understand each other so well.
''Sword Severance!" Alice calmly mumbled those words; her sword became invisible, Gracier's eyes narrowed, she thought.
'This damned sword move again. But this time, it would be different if previously I was unable to deal with it properly; this time, I have the perfect countermeasure against it.'
''Mirror!"
Gracier used dragon tongue to bend the world's will; mirrors were created around her, and when Alice's sword appeared from the void to slash her, it was deflected back toward Alice.
Everything happened too fast, and Alice couldn't react in time; her eyes widened, for the first time since the beginning of their fight, her face changed.
''Is that dragon tongue that little girl used?''
Noire, who had recently joined the group to watch the sparring matches, couldn't help but become curious after hearing Gracier speak using the dragon language. As a mystical beast herself, she could easily identify the language used; At the same time, her lineage is known to be world devourer, dragons are and would stay powerful existence feared by the universe, they are strong physically, and their mana capacity are to simply insane almost limitless especially for those ancestral dragons, the first dragon, the original, and Noire could sense that the dragon that was slowly getting mixed with their little girl's blood was extremely pure, meaning it came from an original dragon.
Upon this unexpected discovery, Noire, who was feeling despair after her contract with Alex, started to change her opinion of him; he would not be boring as she thought. On the contrary, life besides such a master would be exciting.
''Yes, it's dragon language. My sister is exceptional after all, as expected of a Touch, we are always exceptional.'' Alex declared with a smile, there was a certain arrogance when he said those words, but none of those present found anything to say about his claim as he is exceptional, same with Gracier and his women, naturally he would say those words.
''Shh! Let's keep watching!" Alex silenced Noire, who was about to ask about her master's history.
Back on the stage.
Seeing her attack getting reflected on her shocked Alice so much that her always stoic face changed.
Just as the attack was about to pierce her heart, Alice stepped across space and disappeared.
Alex almost jumped from his seat; Lilith, Maria, Artemia were so shocked that their jaws were literally hitting the floor.
''Since when that girl she has this ability?" Alex wondered; he was shocked that Alice got a space-related skill.
〖This girl is a monster; I wonder what she went through to become so strong in a short period.〗
Silveria's words made Alex furrow his brows; he immediately unleashed the Eye of Truth on Alice.

''Eh? She is just ten years old while looking like seventeen years old?'' Alex blurted out because he had never focused too much attention on his subordinate's status; he never noticed these details.
''Who is ten years old?"
Both Maria and Artemia asked simultaneously; as they couldn't appraise Alice for some unknown reason, they asked Alex, who chuckled before pointing at where Alice was.
''I'm talking about Alice. But I will tell you the details later. For now, let's concentrate on the fight.. It's about to get exciting.''
