Chapter 413: Ending
413 Ending
"I surrender."
Her voice echoed through the arena, and they could not believe what they heard. They were dumbfounded, Alex was astonished while Su Hua dropped his jaw.
They never expected that she suddenly gave up after using two skills. The ending was truly anti-climatic.
Alex knew why she surrendered as he could see the energy inside her body was only a puny amount. She might even collapse if she used another technique. So, Letizia decided to give up while having that energy as a guarantee if Su Hua still came to her after she surrendered.
Even so, he never expected that Letizia was this strong. He remembered the Letizia from back when she had yet to become his slave. She never considered her as a threat. However, after looking at her progress in this tournament, he would eliminate her no matter what cost he needed to pay.
Thinking that, he instinctively took out his spear.
Su Hua stood in the arena while looking at her in surprise. He thought she would fight a bit more, considering she managed to incapacitate his left hand.
He gritted his teeth as he lost the last chance to kill her. He clenched his teeth until blood came out.
Meanwhile, the people from Rainbow Flower Sect were also gnas.h.i.+ng their teeth. One of their 10-Star Martial Lords said, "All of you, we will stop Su Hua if he dares to attack our young lady."
They nodded with a serious expression.
"Just look at the Young Lady. She has bravely fought the Mount Hua Sect and killed seven of them. I think I don"t need to remember the thing that the young lady said before going to the stage, right?" She gritted her teeth as she said, "We are going to kill Su Hua in this match."
Their eyes were filled with killing intent when they heard that. If their own princess had gone through something like that, how could they not fulfill her wish? They would absolutely kill Su Hua even if they needed to die in the process.
When Su Hua looked into these people"s eyes, he frowned. He examined his condition. After having his left hand disabled, he might lose if he fought against a 10-Star Martial Lord. And there was no point in this tournament anymore.
"I give up." Su Hua looked into the sky, regretting all the things that happened. First, it was about Alexander Sirius, who he failed to recruit. The fact that he managed to become one of the contestants from Heavenly Sword Sect was already heaven-defying. After all, he only used three years to advance from 1-Star Martial Master to 8-Star Martial Lord.
It was an insane cultivation speed. And when he realized Alex was also an Array Master even though he was a master of sword and spear, he was full of regret. His talent might be on par with Letizia"s. No, Letizia had full support from the sect while Alex made his own path by his own hands.
As for his second regret, it was about the war a few months ago. If they did not make war, their relations.h.i.+p with Heavenly Sword Sect and Rainbow Flower Sect would not turn like this. Sadly, it was because they thought they could acquire Alexander Sirius with four influences, they decided to do that. Albeit, it had backfired.
And lastly, it was Letizia. With her power, she would be able to destroy Mount Hua Sect. Sadly, no one from Mount Hua Sect had an Ice Element. If not, they would realize the suppression coming from her when they fought.
And the arena was also big, so unless she purposely suppressed them with her Elemental Advantage, they would feel it. It was the same as Alex when he used his Pure Fire to suppress the soldiers in the war for Thiveapia Kingdom.
Only the nearby soldiers would be instantly affected by his Pure Fire Element. Because he deliberately channeled his power and suppressed them, they could feel it. Letizia was saved by the arena itself, and Alex did not need to worry about this, or so he thought.
"Finally, after many gruesome battles, Rainbow Flower Sect won! Only the young princess of Rainbow Flower Sect, Letizia La Scola, fought in this match. In other words, I will declare that Letizia La Scola won against Mount Hua Sect."
"Uoh!"
"Ice Queen!"
"Ice Queen!"
"Long Live Rainbow Flower Sect."
"Long Live…"
The people were busy cheering for her. They were not aware that Letizia was in danger.
There was a rank 5 Alchemist that had been clenching his fist for a while. He was a 2-Star Martial King.
Others might not feel it, but he, as a Martial King and had cultivated his own soul power as well as his Fire Element, could feel how hostile his Fire Element was and how strong Letizia"s Ice was with his soul.
He thought he sensed it wrong when he watched her in the first battle against Mahiir. After all, it was the only time she used her Pure Ice Element to the fullest. As for the other matches, she did not use it that much, which made him hesitate. But in the match against Edwin, he could sense it again. Letizia was a Pure Ice Element user.
He knew Mount Hua Sect would be destroyed in the future in her hand. If she did not die, then it would really be the end considering their hostile relations.h.i.+p. He looked at Letizia, who was too weak at the moment and knew it was the best chance to kill her.
He shattered his arms chair while gritting his teeth. He suddenly came out of his room and leaped toward Letizia.
"Pure Ice Element, Die!" He stretched his fist, trying to kill her. Letizia looked at her with surprise as she was expecting Su Hua to come. She clenched her sword, trying to swing it. However, she felt an overbearing pressure from him, and it restricted her movement. Even if she managed to swing her sword, she could not imagine blocking an attack from a Martial King.
"!!!" All of them suddenly noticed that.
Honda Sanae and Cecilia immediately came out, trying to stop him from killing her. Both of them knew they were too late as they thought it would be Su Hua who would try to kill her. To think the Sect Master of Mount Hua Sect himself would be the one who was trying to kill her.
"Not Good! It is too late!"
When despair came to their heart, it was then the "Prince...Ahem, the "Master" finally made a move.
"Immovable Step."
"Spear Throwing Art. Spin Throwing."
A spear suddenly came out of Xiang Bai"s room, flying. The old man noticed that spear and gritted his teeth. He would be killed by the spear first before he reached her.
He raised his hand to block that spear. "h.e.l.l Flame s.h.i.+eld."
When he felt the power from the spear, he was too shocked. "What is this power? Does this spear contain 20 dragons, the same strength as me? But this piercing power…"
He gritted his teeth as he was surprised to see someone had the same power as a Martial King. Although a normal 2-Star Martial King would have 30 dragon strength, he was an Alchemist, so he never bothered about this since he fought with his fire and reputation. To think the one thing that he never cared suddenly struck at his life at the very last moment.
Even with the piercing power, the spear would still be unable to pierce his s.h.i.+eld. However, the sheer amount of momentum was still there. After deflecting the spear with his Flame s.h.i.+eld, he rolled in the air a few times.
It was enough for Honda Sana to catch up with him. Hona Sana said, "You b.a.s.t.a.r.d. Am I just an air to you?"
She swung her sword toward the old man. He tried using his "h.e.l.l Flame s.h.i.+eld again to block her Sword. Sadly, it was futile. Her sword cut through his s.h.i.+eld, hands, and head like a b.u.t.ter.
Alex was surprised to see that. He thought, "She is really a Sword King."
He could see the compressed domain on her sword. If he was not wrong, her Sword Domain was around five hundred meters, the same as Mithra"s Sword Domain. With that huge Sword Domain compressed to a very small size, it would give a huge amount of power.
After killing Mount Hua Sect"s sect master, Honda Sana glared at Su Hua while pointing her sword. "Are you going to continue?"
"No, Senior. I... no, We will go back to our sect immediately." Su Hua shuddered when she was pointing her sword toward him. He clasped his hands respectfully and bowed to her.
"As I said from before, who wants to interfere in this match, shall be cut down with this blade even if you are a sect master." Honda Sanae declared once again.
"Uoh!" The arena turned into an uproar. They were surprised to see an unreachable figure, the Sect Master of Mount Hua Sect, one of the four Martial Kings in the continent died just like that.
On the other hand, Letizia took Alex"s spear with her, planning to give it back to him after the last battle. She looked at Alex before bowing to him. She even sent a thought transmission. "Thank you, Master."
"You have worked hard. To think you managed to defeat the entire Mount Hua Sect…"
"I am honored to hear that. I wouldn"t be the one I am today if I did not become your slave. My Pure Ice Element also won"t awaken if I did not become your slave. This slave is really grateful to Master."
"..." Alex paused a bit. "Well, rest first. You almost used all of your energy."
"Yes." Letizia bowed her head again. From others" perspective, it looked like she was thanking him since if not because of him, she might already die.
...
After cleaning up the arena as well as quelling the unrest because of the sect master of Mount Hua Sect. The last battle between Buddha Sect and Hazel Kingdom started.
It was not that interesting anymore after watching Letizia"s battles, so the people only watched it casually.
Hazel Kingdom had fought with all their honors, but it was still unreachable. They managed to defeat six monks from Buddha Sect before losing the match. Luckily, they did not see any blood in this match as Buddha Sect did not really like bloodshed. As for Hazel Kingdom, they had agreed with the Buddha Sect not to shed any blood in this battle. They did not want to weaken themself after knowing Letizia"s Pure Element.
Even with the match going on, their focus was still in Letizia. They were wondering how they could make a relations.h.i.+p with Rainbow Flower Sect.
After the match, they were in an uproar after knowing Letizia had a Pure Ice Element. Unfortunately, Letizia had left the arena with her mother to make sure no one tried to kill her.
Because of that, they thought they should send one of their successors and marry him to her. But they remembered about her searching for a man, so it was not possible. After this battle, they would want to go to their respective homes and come up with a plan for this. They were sure Rainbow Flower Sect would dominate the continent with her Pure Ice Element.
She was pretty young to begin with, so she should be able to reach a higher height from her own mother. And they were thinking how lucky Heavenly Sword Sect was because they became an ally of Rainbow Flower Sect because of the grace of Letizia.
Of course, they did not know that Letizia herself was a slave of Alexander Sirius, the one she searched for. If they knew about it, they might think differently. They would start approaching Alex with beautiful ladies, thinking he would be seduced by them.
With this, tomorrow"s battles were clear.
"We will conclude today"s compet.i.tion here. With the result of today"s battles, this will be the second round."
Heavenly Sword Sect versus Zhou Kingdom
Rainbow Flower Sect versus Buddha Sect.
Both matches were super interesting. In the first match, they wanted to know how Heavenly Sword Sect challenged the Zhou Kingdom. As for the second match, it would be how Buddha Sect could challenge Rainbow Flower Sect… No, it would be Letizia.
