"Hmph. I wouldn't underestimate myself if I were you. After all, I am different from them, I am an Array Master." He said.
"I know. Edwin Fernandez, 9-Star Martial Lord, High-rank Array Master." Letizia said.
"Heh…" He looked smugly after hearing that.
"Even so, you are still not my match. If you are a 10-Star Martial Lord, then I might choose to surrender, but you are still a 9-Star Martial Lord." Letizia said coldly.
"You!" He glared at Letizia while releasing his Spiritual Energy.
Before the match started, Letizia went around and hid behind her Ice Wall. She was not afraid of him. She just wanted to make him confused as to where to target. She did this because she needed to preserve her energy to fight Su Hua later.
"Hmph, you are hiding behind those walls?" Edwin snorted. He then felt the temperature in the arena. "I thought the cold was so extreme since all of them who fought you used their Fire Element to cover their body. But this is nothing to me."
Letizia did not say anything. This was a Mid Heaven Tier Ice Element Art, it was already powerful to make a domain like that for a long time. And after six fights, the effect started to disappear.
She had once thought about recasting it once more, but it would use too much Spiritual Energy.
"Match Start!"
He immediately raised his hand and made an array. Many chains started appearing from the array.
"Chain Binding Hostage."
Alex completely focused on this match. It might be the first time he watched an Array Master fight. But what he saw next surprised him.
The chains did not go toward Letizia. Instead, they scattered around and went toward Letizia's Ice walls. The chains that were supposed to bind someone suddenly shattered all the ice walls on the arena.
"!!!" Alex opened his mouth in surprise. He never thought Edwin would use a Binding Type array to shatter the ice walls. When he saw this, he immediately had a thought. It was true that to bind someone powerful, the chains alone were powerful, and Edwin destroyed the ice walls with that power.
Alex just learned something new. After all, what he got from the Golden Lightning Tribulation was only the knowledge about Array, not someone's memory or experience. So, this was the first time he experienced something like this. And this was like opening a door for him to a brand new world.
He realized he had been using Array by the book, except his Simulation Room. He suddenly thought of many possibilities, such as using a binding array like this or using a barrier array to pin someone down to the ground and so on. He thought of many possibilities that he wanted to discover later. He unconsciously smirked.
In the arena, Edwin immediately spotted Letizia after shattering all the ice walls. He then made another array with his right hand. He suddenly made a barrier that surrounded Letizia.
"Tortoise Barrier."
"Now, you can't escape." He laughed as he raised his left hand. "Chain Binding Hostage."
The chains immediately started charging toward her, trying to bind her.
"Look… she is cornered."
"No!"
"So, this is the power of an Array Master. As expected, they are truly monsters."
"Yeah. Even with Letizia's strength, she would be cornered in an instant."
Many people were concerned about Letizia's situation, and many people were disappointed as well as astonished by the power of an Array Master.
Letizia was a bit surprised that her ice walls were shattered just like that. She immediately retreated to avoid the chains that managed to shatter her ice.
*Clang!* *Clang!* *Clang!*
The chains managed to catch up, so she immediately used her Sword to deflect them. Even so, she was surprised by the sheer power contained in each chain.
She was wondering how to defeat Edwin. First of all, she had been trapped here while running away from chains. She was afraid that her attack would be ineffective against the barrier and just wasted away the little Spiritual Energy she had left.
She observed the chains. Even though the power in her 'Ice of Infinity' had decreased, she thought it should be able to freeze the chain if she went around for a while. After that, she then could try to break the Barrier that trapped her.
Sadly, Edwin did not let her do so. He immediately sent another wave of chains.
"Chain Binding Hostage."
This time, the chains did not come from behind her. Instead, the chains were coming from in front of her as to attack her from two sides.
The moment she saw this, she immediately stretched her hand to the front.
"Deep Frozen Ice Technique. Ice Phoenix."
An Ice Phoenix once again appeared in the arena. It was charging toward the chains in front of her.
The moment it touched the phoenix, the chains immediately entangled the phoenix. The phoenix's body was not that hard compared to the human body, and it was immediately shattered by the chains. Even so, the chains that destroyed Letizia's phoenix were gone.
Seeing this, Letizia turned her body over while trying to shoot another phoenix.
Edwin only smiled. He raised his hand once more as he made another array. "Chain Binding Hostage."
He made those cursed chains again and let them chase her. "It is futile. Even if you destroy my chains, I will just make it again. In this match, I will make sure to kill you."
"!!!" Letizia frowned after she heard that. She immediately turned her body again and just escaped from the chains behind her.
She saw another group of chains coming from her front. She gritted her teeth as she had decided what to do.
"Heaven Freezing Tornado."
She waved her hand, and a big tornado appeared in the middle of the arena. The tornado sucked in those chains by its mighty power, and the chains that came close to it immediately froze.
Letizia was panting after using a Heaven Tier Art. She made the tornado move toward the barrier.
Edwin was surprised that his barrier started becoming frozen, but that was all. He had noticed this earlier, but this Freezing Tornado did not have any attack power. It only froze its opponent. So as long as it was trapped inside the barrier, it would not do anything to him.
He smirked and thought, 'I won.'
If he just maintained the barrier until Letizia exhausted herself, he would then release his barrier and kill her.
It was at this time, Letizia suddenly appeared from inside the tornado. Because of her Pure Ice Element, her body was immune to cold energy, so she would not get frozen by her own skill.
"You want me to exhaust myself, right? Since you are the one who forced me to use more, then I will end this match as soon as possible." Letizia was clenching her sword as she looked at Edwin. "Don't you know that something frozen is easier to break?"
"!!!" Edwin instantly realized what she meant. "Not good! She wants to break the barrier with her Sword!"
He wanted to use another array to prevent her from doing so, but…
"Too late!" She swung her Sword twice. "Grand Cross!"
A big blue 'X' appeared in the barrier as it suddenly shattered the brittle frozen Barrier Array. The tornado was still moving toward Edwin before engulfing him and Letizia since nothing stopped it again.
The moment the tornado vanished, there was only Letizia standing in the arena as Edwin already became pieces, shattered on the floor.
She was panting, too exhausted. She had been using big moves one after another, and she only had ten percent Energy left.
She knew it would not be enough for Su Hua and was planning to surrender here. She did not know why, but Alex's face appeared in her mind. A question suddenly came to her mind, 'If he is the one here, will he surrender?'
She was contemplating that question for a few seconds and arrived at an answer. 'He might. But before he surrendered, he would injure Su Hua as much as possible. Well, if Master is really here, he would not get so beat up like me. After all, Master's Pure Fire Element is the king of fire, and he could use it to suppress them, unlike me, who needs to clash it against them.'
Thinking about that, resolve gathered in her heart. She would do everything needed before surrendering. She should have enough time to do it before Su Hua reached her. With her current energy, she should be able to use another Heaven Freezing Tornado and Ice Phoenix. And she would still be able to use one Sword Art before completely exhausted her energy.
After this time, she finally heard the announcer with his shocked tone. He and the people in the arena had been shocked by her. They thought Letizia would lose in this round and was hoping she would surrender before Edwin killed her.
Surprisingly, she shattered all their thoughts.
"This… this is such a phenomenon. After fighting seven elites from Mount Hua Sect… after getting into many perilous situations… even with her tattered body… she overcomes all of that with her ice, and finally, there is only one left. There is only Elder Su Hua from Mount Hua Sect! Will she be able to overcome this too and become the queen of Rainbow Flower Sect?"
"Ah, goddess!"
"She is the Ice Princess from Rainbow Flower Sect."
"If she wins, she will become Ice Queen from Rainbow Flower Sect."
"Nooo… you have done enough, my queen. Just please surrender, our heart is broken to see you like this…"
"Ice Queen!"
"Ice Queen!"
"Ice Queen!"
The people were cheering for her. Many of them wanted her to defeat Su Hua, but they knew it was not possible in her state. After all, Su Hua was the strongest from the Mount Hua Sect team, a 10-Star Martial Lord and a 5 Alchemist.
However, different from their hope, Letizia still wanted to continue the fight. She said, "Next!"
This time, the people from Rainbow Flower Sect were surprised. "Princess… Please give up. We will do the rest."
Letizia ignored them as she looked at Su Hua, trying to call him up to the arena.
Noticing that, he immediately appeared in the arena. "You are truly a peerless genius from Rainbow Flower Sect. If only, the person you were searching for was in the Mount Hua Sect, it would be great. However, since it has become like this, I really need to kill you as my Mount Hua Sect might perish under your hand."
"Say that after you won."
"I will not hold back."
"Argh, my tears come out. I can't bear to watch this, but I still need to host this match. Match Start!"
"Deep Frozen Ice Technique. Ice Phoenix."
Letizia immediately used her Ice Phoenix as soon as the match started. She knew she could not beat Su Hua with just this, so she was planning to injure him as much as possible.
Su Hua immediately raised his two hands as a circle of fire appeared in front of him. He punched the ring.
"Soaring Fire, Leguma."
This was the same technique as the one Mahiir used. It immediately spurted out an overbearing flame.
In the first match, the phoenix would be able to freeze the fire, but at this point, it evaporated together with Su Hua's fire.
The people immediately looked away with a sad expression when they watched this. They knew Letizia was not in the condition to use this anymore.
After destroying the Ice Phoenix, Su Hua leaped forward while using another Element Art. At this time, Letizia smirked. She waved her hand.
"!!!" Su Hua noticed this familiar gesture. Noticing that, he immediately stopped and retreated.
"Heaven Freezing Tornado."
He was a bit too late as his left hand was frozen by the big tornado.
Looking at the big tornado that failed to finish him, she sighed. The result was already clear in her eyes as she smiled and said,
"I surrender."
