Novel Full Chapter 743 Are You Ready For Round Two?
With every exchange, the one who was getting pushed back was always Lux, making him wonder just how high Aina’s strength stat was.
His Soul Book could only appraise monsters, and on very rare circumstances, Demi-humans as well.
However, he was unable to view the stats of Foreigners just like him.
Aina had two Unique Skills that made her incredibly powerful in one-on-one battles.
The first one was Divine Strength [EX].
This unique ability gave Aina a permanent 300% increase in her strength stat. Also, this ability prevented her strength stat from being lowered by any kind of debuffs, making it completely broken.
To make a comparison, ALL-MITE had the skill, God Strength [EX], which increased his Strength Stat by 500% for one minute. If this skill was used alongside his other skill, Max Ultra [EX], which increased all of ALL-MITE’s stats by 500%, the Four-Armed Hero’s punch packed a “Smash” that would send anyone of the same rank as him to oblivion.
Unlike these two stat-boosting skills that could only be used for a short period of time, Aina’s Divine Strength Skill was permanently active.
Meaning, anyone who tried to fight her one-on-one in close combat would feel a world of pain.
This was why her Ranker Trial was a special one. She could only fight someone of the same age or lower than her age, and that person must be stronger than her.
When it came to the term stronger, it didn’t mean that the one she fought against had to be literally stronger in terms of raw strength. Currently, no Initiate in existence had a higher strength stat than Aina in both Solais and Elysium.
Her second skill was just as ridiculous as the first one. The name of this skill was called Angel of Vengeance [EX]. This skill gave Aina the ability to fly and also increase her Agility and Dexterity stat by 300%.
While this might sound broken, it was actually not.
Aina had pooled most of her stat points into her Strength Stat, so the boost in Agility and Dexterity wasn’t as disgusting as her Divine Strength [EX] ability.
Even so, her current Agility and Dexterity Stats were similar to Lux’s, giving the Half-Elf a great disadvantage when talking about raw stats.
‘S-Sir Lux is losing?!’ Princess Anastasia couldn’t believe what she was seeing as Lux and Aina clashed repeatedly in the air.
Every time they clashed, Lux would be pushed back.
Aina, who was taking the battle seriously, didn’t give him an opportunity to recover, engaging him in continuous attacks.
If not for the fact that Lux’s body constitution was a special one, several of his bones might have already been broken by now.
After her relentless attacks, an opportunity presented itself, which would allow Aina to smash her mace against Lux’s body directly.
Naturally, the doll-like beauty didn’t let this chance slip by and went for the finishing blow.
At that exact moment, a Giant Ethereal Skeleton appeared, covering Lux’s body. Aina, who had been completely caught off guard, was pushed back by the Shield Bash that the Corpse God had used to block her attack.
Of course, that didn’t end there. Since the Corpse God was equipped with several weapons, it took the initiative to attack Aina using its Crossbow, firing Ethereal Bolts in her direction and forcing her to dodge.
Since the beginning of the fight, Lux had turned off his passive skill, Corpse God [EX], because he didn’t think that he would need it to fight against Aina.
In short, the Half-Elf had greatly underestimated his opponent.
After fighting large-scale wars and overcoming them, the Half-Elf had developed a mentality that made him think that he could beat anyone as long as he had his Summons with him.
But, in a fight where he couldn’t summon them, he found himself lacking in many aspects.
Of course, as a Necromancer, Lux was already doing extremely well in terms of his ability to fight in close quarters. Most Necromancers only stayed at the back of their Undead Army and issued commands from a safe distance.
‘Time to fight seriously,’ Lux narrowed his eyes as he hovered mid-air, looking at the doll-like Angel, who had been pushed back by the Corpse God, whose main role was to protect Lux against any kind of attack.
“Aina, I apologize for underestimating you,” Lux stated. “I shouldn’t have done that, so I owe you an apology.”
“Apology accepted,” Aina replied. “I told you from the very start that you should fight me seriously. Now, you’ve finally realized your mistake.”
“Indeed.” Lux nodded. “But my Trump Cards are pretty scary. If I use them, I can’t guarantee that I will be able to hold back. Do you have any life-saving artifacts on your body?”
Aina nodded. “I do, so feel free to use your strongest move. How about you? Do you have any life-saving artifacts as well?”
Before Lux could even answer Aina’s question, the Dragon Token inside his storage ring glowed brightly.
The two fighters were then engulfed by a flash of light.
When they finally regained their senses, they found themselves in a deserted plain that extended for miles.
“This is my own personal Domain.”
A voice filled with confidence reverberated in the surroundings.
“Even if you fight to the death here, you won’t really die. The first one to receive a fatal blow will immediately be expelled from the domain, preventing them from dying. So, both of you fight with everything you have without holding anything back.”
Although Aina was surprised by the sudden change in environment, the voice’s assurance gave her some peace of mind.
Lux also felt relieved because he no longer needed to hold back his Trump Cards, which he was afraid to use against Aina.
“Are you ready for Round Two?” Lux asked with a devilish smile on his face.
“I’m as ready as I’ll ever be,” Aina replied in that same monotonous voice, devoid of any feelings whatsoever.
After hearing her confirmation, Lux activated his Peerless Dragon Strike [SSR] and the silhouette of a giant Golden Dragon appeared behind him.
After he became a Heaven’s Necromancer, his Peerless Dragon Strike received an upgrade, allowing him to use it three times a day.
He had only used Keoza’s Crystal Dragon Breath in the past, but now that he could use it more frequently, he was willing to experiment.
The Half-Elf wanted to use the other Signature Abilities of the Dragon Race as comparison.
Aina, who was facing such a threat, only took a fighting stance, setting her mace ablaze with Divine Flames.
Within the depths of her beautiful eyes, a tinge of anticipation started to bloom.
It was not only Lux that had been holding back for fear that she might accidentally kill her opponent.
Now that a perfect environment had presented itself, Aina could fight to her heart’s content.
