Chapter 222: Breakfree

Date- 27 Mar 2321

Time- 9:01

Location- Sky Blossom City, The Sky Blossom Card Stadium, Arena 17

Every punch of Jaya's created a basketball-size wind fist that would explode on the eyewall of the hurricane's eye. One had to know that a Viltronian Soldier's pure raw strength was already enough to create wind fists, just by punching in the air Jaya could create wind fists which is why this card was a good fit for her as she could provide the necessary strength and soul energy to continuously generate these wind jabs with inhuman stamina level. 

The Wind Jabs had the effect of exploding upon meeting an obstacle, these continuous explosions started to break the eyewall created by the hurricane. The effect of the wind jads showing as the speed of the hurricane started to decrease rapidly. The hurricane would collapse any second now, yet there was still a minute for the duel to end. Ned knew as per the physical prowess displayed by Jaya she would require less than 10 seconds to defeat him. Therefore he decided to use his final move, Blackwater Burial. He knew this move would not help him defeat Jaya but as long as it drags her until the duration of the duel is over it will have served its purpose. 

Ned swam to the top of the slowing Blackwater Hurricane, using his Blackwater manipulation and Blackwater dome abilities he reverted the swirling black water into a black water dome again capturing Jaya at the centre of the dome. Jumping out of the Blackwater dome Ned activated a skill card as he blew out freezing cold air onto the black water dome, Turning the Blackwater dome into a frozen black water dome as he safely landed on it.

Right now Jaya was restrained inside a frozen black water dome, no wonder Ned named his final I've Blackwater Burial. Suddenly Jaya who was immobilised in the frozen black water dome moved her eyeballs showing that she was alive and not completely frozen. A second later frozen Jaya started to glow with brilliant bright blue light, 

"Boom!" The frozen Jaya exploded, along with her the frozen black water dome exploded. As for Ned who was standing on the frozen dome was caught in the aftermath and blown off the arena getting automatically disqualified.

Technically Jaya never exploded, she just emitted an explosive shock wave which exploded the frozen black water dome restraining her. Thankfully Jaya did not exhaust all of her energy leaving just enough energy and strength to explode the huge black water dome and throw Ned off of the arena. So in the end Jaya proved that god does take care of fools and drunk. 

"Arena 17, winner Jaya Keith."

"What are you doing here?" Asked Diana looking at Jaya who dragged her weak body to the Fine Gold VIP seating area. 

"Sister, I am under abnormal status 'weakness'." Instead of answering Diana, Jaya complained about the debuff on her as a result of using the skill card 'Break Free', to her sister with puppy dog eyes.

"So?" Asked Diana but looking at Jaya who had teary eyes, Diana sighed, "who's fault is it? The duel was a joke, and your performance was extremely disappointing and pathetic." 

"I know sister I was wrong! Sorry, I will practice harder next time. Could you please ask Barbara to use her origin card on me?" Jaya hurriedly apologised and agreed with her sister knowing to argue will only get her in more trouble. 

The woman named Barbara summoned her grimoire to negate the debuff on Jaya using her origin card but before she could do so. Diana glared at her. Being glared at by Diana, Barbara retrieved her grimoire and hurriedly apologised before returning to her seat, "Sorry, boss. I will be taking my seat now." 

"Sister!" Jaya protested seeing Diana stopping Barbara from helping her. 

"What are you doing here?" Diana asked again but this time there was more force behind Diana's voice. 

"I..I… I wanted to watch the tournament with you sister." Jaya lied, unable to say that she was too embarrassed to return to VIP box 1. After the incident with Anna and now this disappointing win Jaya was too embarrassed to step into the VIP box 1.

"What did you do?" Knowing her sister, Diana concluded that the fault lay with Jaya.

"Why do you always think I am at fault?" Jaya wanted to guilt her sister to not force her to go back to VIP box 1. 

"You know how important this thing is to us, right? Mend your relation with Wyatt, without his support all our plans will come to a halt. It may seem like currently the southern emperor is out to get him but mind you he is worth a lot alive than dead to them." Diana reminded Jaya about their objective. 

Okay. And what about the abnormal stats on me, I cannot participate with this in the second round." Jaya reluctantly agreed to return to VIP box 1 but demanded to get rid of abnormal stats on her. 

"Sure you can. If you can skip your training then you can also participate in the second round with the abnormal stats." Diana did not agree to lift the weakness debuff on Jaya. Because she knew Jaya could not get the first rank in the tournament and anything below the first rank was pointless. Also because accommodating all of Jaya's mistakes would only make her spoiled and she would never learn.
