The next match, it was a battle between Rainbow Flower Sect and Mount Hua Sect. This was the battle they had been waiting for. Even Alex was strangely interested in this.
It might be because of the difference between point of view. When Alex heard that Erol wanted to rape the people from Rainbow Flower Sect as well as Heavenly Sword Sect, there was strange anger that filled his heart.
Even if he was in his situation, he did not think he would do something like rape or something. He might torture then and send them off just like that. If it were about rape, then he would just do it inside their mind, no need for him to do it openly so others could see.
Albeit, even if he flowered his thoughts and words, he would still do the same as them, just in a different way. He was not a good guy to begin with; in fact, he was pretty selfish. It might also be the reason why he did not become the Hero in the first place. Of course, he did not mean about the 'HEro' in the lower world as the system in that world was flawed.
As for his Karma, he did not really know. He had killed many peoples, but all of them were his enemy. If the way he did it was considered too, then his karma might be bad. Even so, he did not care about it as he chose the best way to destroy his enemies.
He looked at the Rainbow Flower Sect. Their lineup was similar to Heavenly Sword Sect. Instead, there was no 8-Star Martial Lord like him as Letizia herself was a 9-Star Martial Lord. In total, they had three 10-Star Martial Lords and five 9-Star Martial Lords. This was really a magnificent lineup beside the Zhou Kingdom.
In front of them, the Mount Hua Sects were frowning. Because of the recent war, they had lost half of their elders, and a few of them were high-level Martial Lords. So, in this competition, they could only bring two 10-Star Martial Lords, one 9-Star Martial Lords, and three 8-Star Martial Lords. They even needed to add two 7-Star Martial Lords who were their core disciples in this battle.
Luckily, one of their 10-Star Martial Lord was only in a death door because of that war. After many medications, he finally recovered. Because of that, he was filled with anger against Heavenly Sword Sect and Rainbow Flower Sect.
He did not care about it and immediately came to the stage as the first fighter. The people were shocked, especially the Rainbow Flower Sect, as they never expected a 10-Star Martial Lord to come as the first fighter. After all, Mount Hua Sect was not the same as the Zhou Kingdom who had eight 10-Star Martial Lords. In fact, they were barely qualified for this competition as one of the great sects.
As for the people from Mount Hua Sect, they did not care about it as they let their second elder do what he wanted. The hatred inside his heart could not be suppressed anymore, and it would be useful to unleash it to their enemy. This way, they might be able to kill two or three people from Rainbow Flower Sect.
They just took advantage of this facet of him to weaken the Rainbow Flower Sect.
Letizia looked at him for a while before turning to her elders, "Elders, could you please let me fight him?"
"Young Lady? But our enemy is that Maahir. I am afraid you will…" One of the elders wanted to protest her decision. At the same time, she was also afraid of Maahir as she knew Maahir would kill them if he happened to win just by looking at the amount of killing intent on his eyes.
The other elders were also a bit unsure and worried about Letizia. Nonetheless, Letizia had decided to do it. "Elders, please believe in me. Even though I am a 9-Star Martial Master, I have an elemental advantage against Mahiir, who was a rank 5 Alchemist.
"His Fire would not stand a chance against my Pure Ice Element, and if we defeat him here, we will get momentum to push through the rest of the match. I don't know how far I can go after I defeat him, so I want other elders to remember this in your heart. We will need to kill all of them before they could surrender." Letizia explained with a cold tone.
The elders gasped. They remembered a few months ago, Letizia was a silent girl. But after a few months, it seemed she started becoming a bit talkative. And this was a good change as she became more mature in a short time and the way she talked was just like her mother. Although they had been watching her, this short time transformation really made them gasp many times just by the sight of it.
They looked at her serious expression and nodded their heads. "Understood, we will do as the young lady said. They want to rape our disciples in the previous competition, so we will need to pay them back by killing them."
Letizia smiled and nodded. She then took a glance at Alex and saw him nod. She did not know why, but that nod suddenly gave her power in her body. She murmured while walking to the arena, "It must be because of my Full Loyalty Oath. This is only a cheering from my master, not Alexander Sirius."
She closed her eyes for a while before opening it to look at Mahiir. She said coldly, "In the war, we failed to kill you. That's why I shall personally end you today."
"Heh! Little Brat from Rainbow Flower Sect. Since the young princess is going to take the stage, I will make sure that today will be marked as a tragedy in Rainbow Flower Sect's history."
"Wha-?! What are the elders doing? Why is Letizia there?" Cecilia was panicking upon seeing her daughter in the arena. Letizia was strong, and she knew it. Still, as her mother, she could not stop panicking because her opponent was Mahiir.
She remembered that Mahiir was holding a great hatred against Rainbow Flower Sect and Heavenly Sword Sect. If not because he would need to recover from his wounds, he might roam around the Rainbow Flower Sect or Heavenly Sword Sect to kill anyone from the sects.
He might be one of the rank 5 Alchemists in this continent, but he was also known as the most eccentric person. In fact, she had heard from somewhere that Mahiir was a sociopath.
It was when she saw the expression of her daughter, she slightly calmed down. After raising her for many years, she knew Letizia was serious about this. She could worry about her but unable to stop her or save her as she would be killed before she could even save her by Honda Sana.
She sighed and leaned on the back of her chair. She could only hope that she would be fine.
Meanwhile on the arena,
Letizia only had a serious expression on her face. "Tragedy, huh… that is good too. This might be a good day for our sect to celebrate the downfall of Mount Hua Sect."
"You…! I will kill you… No. I will cut all of your limbs first before I kill you, and the people from Rainbow Flower Sect would witness all of that. Hahaha…" Mahiir laughed like crazy.
"It is tiring to talk to a sociopath like you. It is better to start the match, so you can see what it means to be the successor of Rainbow Flower Sect. I will also use the treasured sword from my 'Master' to defeat you." She said and took out her blue sword. This was the sword that Alex gave to her. And she purposely said 'Master' as in 'Master and Disciple relationship' instead of 'Master and Servant relationship.' It was just to hide her status as she knew Alex would not want it exposed, so she decided to cover it up.
When Honda Sana saw this, she could not help but feel surprised. "This… this sword is an Elemental Sword. I am sure no one in this continent is a rank 5 Forging Master, but how can she possess this sword? She said, 'Master,' but who is her master?"
She contemplated for a bit before she suddenly realized what was going on. There was nothing like rank 5 Forging Master. There was only an abnormal person that seemed to have anything in his coffers. It was Alexander Sirius.
The only thing that confused her was why she said Alex was her master and she was his disciple. She could not understand that as Letizia had a higher cultivation base than him. However, remembering the previous glance from her to Alex, she could not think of anything other than that.
She sighed. With that sword, she was confident she would defeat her opponent even though it was only a rank 4 Sword.
On the contrary, the appearance of this sword baffled everyone. They could understand if a rank 4 sword released a high amount of Spiritual Energy. What they could not understand was that the thing that was released from the sword was not just Spiritual Energy. Instead, there was also Ice Element from it.
Cecilia also rose from her seat upon seeing something like this. She never knew her daughter had something like this since the sect also did not have something like this. She also remembered the things she brought from Zwaka's place. It was two Mid Heaven Tiers Ice Element Arts as well as rank 5 Sword. However, that rank 5 Sword did not have an aura like this.
Of course, no one knew the technique was only possible for a rank 5 Forging Master. Even so, not everyone could use it as it was considered as one of the high ranking techniques.
She looked at Alexander Sirius, who seemed to be the perpetrator as her daughter said. She sighed. "This kind of thing might be better. Even if my daughter had become his slave, he did not treat her badly. He even gave her something like this.
"Hope he treats her well in the future no matter what her status is…"
She could say that because she felt that sword could enhance her daughter's power even further.
On the contrary, Xiang Bai kept glancing at him. Alex also felt his stare and said, "I don't have any use of it. Since the element is perfect and she has helped us in the war against Mount Hua Sect as well as the current war, I just give her as a reward."
Xiang Bai could only sigh. He thought Alex finally took the chance to make a move on her heart, but looking at his expression alone, he knew Alex was serious about it as a reward. He thought, 'Poor girl… Well, she has a ton of luck though…"
...
Despite the crowd's confusion, Letizia pretended she never heard their confusion. She pointed her sword toward Mahiir.
The moment she did that, Mahiir could feel extraordinary cold energy coming from that sword. From the first time, he suddenly felt dread upon seeing a sword alone.
"What is that sword?" Mahiir asked while gritting his teeth. He felt his fire was also affected by the cold energy.
"This sword is a sword that will kill you. You don't need to know anything other than that." Letizia said with a cold tone.
"You… You little girl. You are still too young to use that kind of sword, but since you have presented it in front of me. I will gratefully take it over your dead body." Mahiir laughed.
"You can try, but it will be pointless." She said as she glanced at the announcer to make him start the match.
The announcer looked at Mahiir first. The moment he saw Mahiir nod, he then declared.
"Match Start!"
(A/N: Oof, why is this 'Match Start' thing always at the end of the chapter?)
