377 Battle Royal
Alex looked at the blue-haired beauty as he released both of his domains. After these past months, Alex's domains were both 80 meters. However, in this fight, he did not use it first so he could make a great impact. If he played it right, he could surprise them and made a surprise attack.
So, in this fight, Alex only released 40 meters domains. Although it was already ridiculous, it was not that surprising, considering Alex's progress. Even the blue-haired girl was not surprised that much.
Although her sword domain was only 35 meters, she did not need to fear the difference of five meters.
"I, Silvia, as the disciple of the first elder, can't afford to lose this fight!" The blue-haired girl said.
Alex did not give a damn about her. He did not know whether it was her pride or her duty as the disciple one of the 10-Star Martial Lord in this sect, but Alex also had his circumstances. He would need to win this fight.
Alex jumped forward and swung his sword toward her neck.
Silvia raised her sword domain and slid her sword toward Alex's sword. She tried to deflect the sword, but Alex did not give her a chance.
"Immovable Step."
Since he had advanced two stars after the fight with Charya and with the addition of 5 dragon strength, Alex's strength had become 16 dragon strength, which was four more than Charya. He used every ounce of his strength and pushed her back.
"!!!" She retreated a few steps because she was surprised to feel Alex's strength.
Alex did not give her a chance as he raised his spear and thrust it to empty air. However, the tip of his spear started glowing before it released a kind of light arrow.
"Quick Silver."
It was his Spear Art. The moment he shot his 'Quick Silver, ' it forced Silvia to raise a defensive stance to destroy Alex's attack. However, Alex used that moment to follow his Quick Silver while thrusting his spear.
"Boom!" The Quick Silver was destroyed by Silvia's sword, but she still needed to block Alex's thrust, especially when she saw the glowing spear.
"Silver Sovereign!" Alex was thrusting his spear with the power of Silver Sovereign.
"Dual Blade!"
Silvia did not cower in front of the powerful Silver Sovereign. She had known this movement since Alex used it on the Inner Disciple Tournament.
The moment she used 'Dual Blade, ' Alex could see another shadow beside her. The black shadow transformed into Silvia's appearance.
Alex immediately activated his Spirit Eyes for this. And it turned out the shadow was controlled by Spiritual Energy. In other words, he could partially ignore this shadow while attacking the real Silvia.
However, the shadow suddenly made the same movement as Silvia and attacked Alex.
"!!!" Alex realized what she was aiming for. She did not aim toward him, but her real objective was to attack his Spear.
If she attacked him, Alex could block it with his sword. However, the reason why she attacked his spear was to deflect his spear before finishing him.
Alex suddenly stepped on the ground and let him fly above her head. He felt something wrong when he looked at the smile that suddenly appeared on her face.
The sword that was aiming for his spear suddenly changed its direction.
Alex realized that she did that to bait him. He could not move his spear at the moment, so he was forced to block these two attacks with his sword alone.
"Seven Stars Cut." They released the same moves. Unfortunately, Alex could only make one Seven Stars Cut because of his state. In contrast, Silvia made two Seven Stars Cut together with her clone.
If not because Silvia's Seven Stars Cut was only 6-layer, Alex would immediately lose this exchange. The clash between one seven layers Seven Stars Cut with two six layers Seven Stars Cut made a huge shockwave.
Little did they know that in the nearby ground, there was an old man that felt that shockwave. He raised from the ground as his white hair fluttered because of the shockwave. He took a deep breath before he disappeared.
Alex was blown away because of the shockwave made by Seven Stars Cut. Alex never expected that he would be in this situation. It seemed the elites... no, since she joined this competition, she could also be considered as Elder Class elites.
Just as he wanted to release his domains and defeat her with a surprise, they saw an old man appear in the middle of their battlefield while clenching his sword.
Alex recognized him as he was the one who brought him to this sect, The seventh elder, Conn Kindellan.
"Circular Sword Dance!" The moment he swung his sword, Alex and Silvia saw a ring that was circling around him. However, before they could do anything, they saw the ring suddenly expand toward them.
Alex and Silvia immediately swung their sword to destroy this circle. Because both of them attacked it at the same time, they managed to destroy the ring.
Although Alex knew Conn in the past, they were still in battle. It was foolish to reminisce about the past, especially with this fight turned into a battle royal. Alex threw his spear toward Conn Kindellan.
"Spear Throwing Art. Spin Throwing."
Looking at this, Conn released his Sword Domain and swung his sword. However, Alex felt that he would be able to block his spear with that kind of swing. And when Alex just thought about that, Conn suddenly slid his sword a little bit, and his spear flew toward another person.
"!!!" When Silvia saw that, both her and her clone immediately swung their swords simultaneously. Sadly, Alex's Spin Throwing was not that easy to block. So, rather than blocking it directly, she chose to avoid it.
However, Alex finally noticed her weakness. When she was avoiding his spear, both her and her clones jumped in the same direction even though they should have split up a bit. He realized that she could not control the clone if it were far away from her.
Alex took out another spear from his Space Ring as well as twenty swords. This would be a rumble between him, Conn Kindellan, and Silvia. Silvia also took a deep breath, even though she managed to get an advantage on Alex just now, she realized Alex was really strong as the same trick would not work on him twice.
However, with the addition of Conn Kindellan, who was a 9-Star Martial Lord, their situation was not good. She thought it would be hard to fight Conn Kindellan, and it proved to be useless as this was not a battle for a token.
She wanted to retreat after she realized that. However, escaping from this place would be hard since Conn would chase them down. So, the only solution for her was to team up with Alex and run away.
Of course, this kind of team-up was not considered a team battle. It was just like 'the enemy of your enemy is your friend. ' Both of them just wanted to fight this 'enemy' alone but at the same time.
When she saw Alex take out his special twenty swords and shifted his attention toward Conn, she knew Alex must be thinking the same thing. With that, she took a deep breath before shifting his attention to Conn. At least, in their mentality, they were teaming up.
Alex made his twenty swords charge at Conn Kindellan. However, Alex did not stop there. He raised his spear and swung it down. And the one that came out of his spear was five streams of light.
"Pentagram Slash!"
"!!!" Conn Kindellan immediately clenched his sword. He already expected something like this since Alex already showed that he could use Sword Art with his sword and his spear. But, it was still surprising to see it with his own eyes.
When Conn wanted to blast these swords away, he saw Alex pull his sword to his back. It looked like Alex wanted to launch another attack with his sword if he swung that sword toward him.
Unfortunately, Conn needed to handle these many swords first before he could worry about Alex's attack. And he also needed to be wary about Silvia's attack as she also almost swung her sword.
However, when she was about to swing her sword, she sensed danger from her side, not her front. When she realized that, she instinctively swung her sword toward the side. However, it was too late.
The attack had pierced her clone as it continued flying toward her. She did not have enough time to block it with her sword. Luckily the clone had received it first, when she tried to defend it with her Spiritual Energy and Body alone, it did not manage to pierce her skin and do fatal damage.
Even though it did not do any fatal damage to her, she was still blown away because of that attack, and she crashed into a big tree. It turned out Alex did not swing his sword. Instead, he thrust it. It was the reason why Alex purposely pulled his sword behind.
It was to camouflage his intention. Conn and Silvia thought that he would attack Conn. However, Alex used that thinking to his advantage as he used his Quick Silver toward Silvia.
At the same time, the twenty swords that flew toward Conn Kindellan suddenly changed their direction from Conn to Silvia. However, to stop Conn from moving, Alex used his Pentagram Slash.
"Singular Blade!" Conn had no choice. He thought he would need to deal with those swords, so he already made his Sword Art. However, he originally intended to blast Alex's Pentagram Slash as well as his twenty swords simultaneously, but he could only see the swords turned away and plunged Silvia.
Alex then appeared in front of Silvia as he swung his sword toward Silvia. She immediately raised her sword to block the incoming attack, but Alex shifted his balance a bit to slide his sword and pass her defense.
After he completed his objective, he made a distance again while looking toward Conn.
"You-!" Silvia was obviously angry as she found out that Alex had cut her badge. This could only mean one thing. She already lost her right for the token.
"Oi oi, I thought I got the vibe that you are going to attack me together..." Conn looked at Alex while nodding his head."Yeah, for a second, I felt like 'enemy of my enemy, ' you know."
"You bastard!" Silvia looked at Alex with hatred. She never thought Alex deceived her so he could launch a surprise attack on her.
"Silvia, you can't do that, you know. You can't participate in this battle anymore since you lost your badge."
Silvia could only grit her teeth as she glared at Alex.
Conn only shook his head helplessly. He looked at Alex, "Well, you are a bit brutal to women, aren't you? To think you use that to sneak attack her."
"It seems she has forgotten about the rule. This is a battle royal, and the sect master said we couldn't team-up. Beside..." Alex paused a little bit, making Conn and Silvia tense.
"I always think women are the same as men. In other words, gender equality. That's why, if I happened to be a lucky pervert that suddenly came and saw a woman who was bathing in a lake or something and tried to slap me or kill me, I would fight back with all my strength." Alex said in a cool voice.
Conn and Silvia were dumbfounded when they heard that.
"Well, I learned it in a book... storybook... somewhere, a long time ago." Alex shrugged. It was truly a long time ago. Alex then took this slight hesitation to appear beside Conn.
"!!!" As expected of Conn. Although he was surprised by Alex's speech, he did not drop his guard as both of them swung their swords at the same time.
"Seven Stars Cut!"
