Chapter 279 Intense Battle (1/2)

"Ladies and Gentlemen. Today, we have an exciting battle, and I, Jerome, will be commenting on the battle. So, everyone! Please welcome, Princess Sherly and Miss Sierra!"

The arena roared with cheers because everyone knew about those two girls.

One defeated Prince Yosin just two days ago, while the other was a true blue princess of a big empire!

Arkhen, Meya, Sasha, Tifani, Yosin, and the other four heirs of the council families stood on the top floor of the arena stadium and watched the two facing each other while floating at the center of the arena.

"Who will win?" Asked a spikey green-haired man as he looked at Yosin with a playful smile. The heir of the Rogran family.

"How would I know?" Yosin rolled his eyes.

"Let me change the question. Who do you want to win?" Tifani asked as she chuckled.

"I... It depends on their capability," Yosin said.

Arkhen grinned as he looked at Yosin, "Be honest. I, for one, want Sierra to win, which is given."

'But… it will be hard,' Arkhen thought as he looked at Sherly's stats.

*Gong!*

"Without further ado, let's start the battle! Ladies, you can start anytime! Good luck, both of you!"

Sherly took out a silver bow with black and gold patterns before quickly releasing a powerful arrow that materialized in her bow!

*Swoosh!*

Sierra also unleashed her Superpower and used her domain before dodging the arrow easily, but another arrow soon arrived.

*Boom!*

Sierra quickly slashed it with her sword as she narrowed her eyes and used her EX+ rank skill to create a giant cloud in the air covering the battleground.

Her signature EX+ rank skill, Abyssal Olden Gaze!

Deep blue tentacles with black sparks in them materialized from the cloud as they rampaged into the arena.

Sherly dodged one before quickly using an active power of her Superpower, <Silver Harvest Field>, as a square land with silver plants appeared on top of her that defended her from the rampage of those tentacles.

Moreover, all tentacles were forcefully directed on the field conjured by Sherly. Whenever it suffered damage, those silver plants in the field bloomed dark silver flowers with dark green patterns!

Sierra knew those flowers might do something, but she didn't know.

Any attack on it was absorbed, but she knew every defense had a limit. 'Let's see how long you endure,' Sierra thought, a dark glint passed through her eyes.

She put one of the swords aside as it floated beside him before using the <Bloody Abyss Spear> active power of her Superpower.

Her blood and energy were consumed before a mighty spear materialized, empowered in the domain, and shot toward Sherly!

The Silver Harvest Field only defended her from the top! The sides, front, and bottom were open!

However, Sherly was prepared for a counterattack, and that's why she didn't attack Sierra. So, upon seeing Sierra putting her sword aside and conjuring a spear, she also prepared!

Her bow released faint strings as they shot towards the Silver Harvest Field and stuck to those dark silver flowers with dark green patterns before she pulled the main string of her bow!

All the energy from those flowers was sucked into her bow, and as she pulled the bowstring, an insanely powerful arrow materialized.

A trail of blood also left Sherly's mouth as a beastly mouth dripping blood with two dark green horns materialized on top of her!

She used all her possible attack methods and her Enhance-type Bloodline ability to boost the arrow before unleashing it!

All of that was done in just two seconds, but she was already preparing for it!

*crack!*

However, the destructively empowered arrow finally released her bow, and along with that, the Silver Harvest Field was cracked into pieces and dispersed!

On the other hand, Sierra's face changed as she saw her Abyssal Blood Spear getting destroyed instantly!

Without hesitation, she conjured three more Abyssal Bloody Spears, which was her limit as she started feeling weak after much of her blood was consumed.

After conjuring spears, she also controlled her Abyssal Olden Gaze skill as all clouds shrunk into a small cloudy orb before it appeared in front of her.

The orb unleashed ten tentacles that started vertically spinning, creating a spinning defense formation.

'Defence mode: Olden Abyss Sanctuary.'

Afterward, she also used 1st active power of her Superpower to conjure an abyssal whirlpool that could absorb any energy-based attacks.

However, the arrow hit the whirlpool before it could fully manifest and proceeded to strike the Olden Abyss Sanctuary.

*Crack..*

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Two tentacles were instantly destroyed before the rest were obliterated in the next two seconds.

'Powerful!' Sierra was shocked at her core and quickly released her floating Bloody Abyssal Spears to meet the arrow after it destroyed her last defense.

She knew that there was no use dodging this arrow because it would follow her; the only way was to defend against it!

Sherly bit her lips as she took deep breaths to recover while watching her attack with slightly red eyes.

The first Bloody Abyss Spear was destroyed instantly; the second was also destroyed in the same quick manner.

The third spear and the still intensely destructive arrow clashed for a second before…

*Booom!*

Sierra instantly empowered her wings to fly away from the arrow and used her last resort, which she never had to use before!

Her Endowment Star's ability!

Dark Brilliance!

Suddenly, golden-black waves permeated the entire stadium while Sierra flew away from the arrow.

Dark Brilliance: Permeate one hundred meters diameter around you with Blight Waves that weaken every attack that is not yours by 50% and empower your attacks by 50% based on the weakened attacks and additionally buff it by 50%. Dark Brilliance lasts for one minute and can be used one time every day.

In other words, if an enemy unleashed a 50,000 damage attack, it would reduce to 25,000 damage, adding 25,000 damage to whatever attack that Sierra released next.

After flying for one second, Sherly's arrow was weakened, although it was already weakened a lot after going through several layers of Sierra's blocking attempts!

Sierra wanted to release her attack after using Dark Brilliance, but before she could do it, the arrow hit her back and exploded into dark silver sparks before smashing her against the barrier. Countless dark silver sparks stung her body as she was covered in the silver smoke!

'Damn!' Sierra cursed as her eyes swirled with dark watery glint and decided to use her newly obtained power after her breakthrough.
