Chapter 225: Battle Royale (3)

Meanwhile, Phyrill also faced the same challenge as Theo and Alea.

He couldn't transform due to Yuda's ability that stole his transformation skill. He believed it wasn't permanent, so he continued to fight in his human form.

Lucy, on the other hand, had her own transformation that allowed her to become a half-human half-snake. She raised both hands and two chunks of dirt emerged from the ground next to Yuda.

Pak.

The moment Lucy clapped her hand, the two chunks of dirt joined each other, crushing Yuda.

However, she soon realized it wasn't working as Yuda reappeared next to the dirt.

Phyrill narrowed his eyes as he assessed Yuda and Lucy's combat prowess. 'Hmm. Rainbow Snake… The snake has many names and comes in male and female form. There are two famous names, Yingarna, the female, is the original Mother of Creation, and the other one is her son, Ngalyod, the Great Transformer of Land. Seeing her ability, I think she received the power of her son…

'As for Tuyul… I don't know much about it because it's a kind of Evil Spirit that steals the rich. I guess it has the power of a ghost or something? That's how he slips from those two chunks of dirt.' Phyrill's expression turned serious.

He leaped toward Lucy with both swords in his hands. The latter raised both hands and summoned a few layers of dirt that acted like that of a wall to stop Phyrill. However, Phyrill's training was to assassinate someone.

Hence, Phyrill went straight to the wall with his Lightning Step while covering his forehead with a translucent jade screen.

"Ha!" Phyrill blasted all the dirt and shattered it like how the Hero Rank Mammoth destroyed Ellen's Ice Meteor.

Bam.

Bam.

Lucy realized that she couldn't stop him at all and prepared another attack, but she found Yuda first in the corner of her eyes.

His aim was none other than Phyrill, who had been occupied with Lucy.

The moment he appeared next to Phyrill, he plunged his dagger and struck his neck.

However, Phyrill had actually expected it. No, in fact, Phyrill had been waiting for him to come closer.

When he saw the incoming dagger, Phyrill halted his movement and spun his body, striking the dagger from below.

Clink.

The two blades clashed with each other. Yuda's eye was closed as he clenched his fist as he almost lost his dagger in that one strike. Yes, his job was to kill someone and who was his real target? It was Yuda.

Not wanting to waste his time, Phyrill then struck him with another sword, but Yuda managed to react and disappear like smoke.

However, the moment he reemerged, he realized he was inside a cage made of stone. It turned out Lucy had predicted his movement and located his position with her Awareness before trapping him inside the cage. It wasn't much, but it should be enough to buy some time.

Phyrill saw this chance and continued shattering the dirt walls, coming for Lucy's neck.

When he shattered the last wall, their eyes intertwined. Phyrill's gaze told her that she would die, while Lucy's eye told him he had no ability to defeat her.

Lucy proved herself with an arm that suddenly rose from the ground and turned into a ten-foot-tall golem, protecting her.

Phyrill clicked his tongue and released all his lightning in that sword.

"Lightning Discharge."

The powerful lightning obliterated the golem's hand and freed Phyrill's sword.

At the same time, Yuda had broken through the cage and appeared between them.

His hand was covered by torrential black-colored energy as he struck the golem's body, covering it with that black energy. Soon, the area that got hit by the energy melted to the ground and the golem returned to the land.

After that, he covered his right foot with the same energy and kicked Phyrill on the chest. Luckily, the latter managed to put his sword in front of his chest first and used his lightning to disperse that black-colored energy to prevent it from affecting any of his possessions.

All three of them made another distance and looked at each other with a serious expression. They realized it wouldn't be that easy to defeat any of them.

…

The same applied to Laust and Ellen.

Facing two Blessed people, both of them didn't have time to worry about the others.

After cutting the water whip, Laust raised his giant sword that amazed Ratu and Harrison. They just never saw someone using a sword that big.

"Three Way Sword." Laust waved his sword and released three pointed energy like that of an arrow to Ratu.

"Water Wall." The Water rose to the air with a powerful current that carried all three pointed arrows.

Seeing Laust attack Ratu, Harrison decided to attack Ellen since her ice was a perfect suit for his strength.

"Bloom, Ice Lotus." Ellen summoned her three lotuses that turned into ice crystals, creating a wall to stop Harrison.

Yet, the latter surpassed her expectation when she saw her Ice Crystals were shattered into pieces with one fist.

"It's not enough." Harrison smiled and charged at Ellen.

Laust came to him from the side to stop him, but he soon saw the water rise and formed a sword. Harrison grabbed the sword and hit Laust's big sword that came from above.

Surprisingly, that water sword actually had a solid form instead of a liquid form. Laust felt as if he struck a metal, not water.

However, the thing that shocked him the most was when Harrison launched him to the air purely with his strength. Despite Laust using momentum, body position, and gravitational advantage, Harrison still had enough strength to do something like that.

Laust couldn't help but grit his teeth, hating the Blessed People more.

Not caring about his thoughts, Harrison continued on his path and prepared to strike Ellen.

"Let's see how far I can fare in this competition." Ellen smiled and summoned four star-shaped blue lights and launched them.

Like Ratu, Harrison summoned a water wall from below and the blue lights hit the water, turning it into ice. It was soon shattered into pieces by Harrison's fist.

Unfortunately for him, Ellen was nowhere to be seen.

'Where is that woman?' Harrison looked left and right before feeling the presence coming from below. He soon lowered his vision and saw Ellen's palm had touched his chest.

"Frost Nova."
