Chapter 238 - VIII We Shall Meet In The Finals

"No, you are not going anywhere!" Seeing Lyax was moving towards Elijah, Yalli transmitted her voice into Lyax's mind, then she grasped the hammer firmly in her hand which bestowed immense strength upon her. Swinging her hammer in the direction of the blade, the two weapon clashed while sending out incredible shockwave that made Yalli's mind a bit cloudy.

The power of tempest couldn't be underestimated, with her body being shot through a stone pillar, she barely had time to recover before a wind, water and lightning came rushing after her. Releasing huge amounts of void energy into a jet black-scaled armor a thin little second before the three attributes before her touched each other creating a formidable force that smashed her void armor to smithereens. The laws of Void could rule as one of the greatest laws, capable of a nullify other laws and repelling other types of energy, yet her own void energy was too weak to do something against the laws of tempest.

"Ahh...." Seeing her increasingly disadvantage in battle, Chloe was inside the hammer observing the enemy before releasing her voice. 

[Yalli hold on for a moment, this man does not seem that good at merging laws. There is a thin gap of 0.6 seconds every time the three powers are close to become one. It seems he needs to release each law separately before merging into the tempest. You find the right time to attack him in the gap.]

Elijah on the other side was the most relaxed of the group, With Ava and Evelynne fighting a duo-battle with the enemy captain and other member. Lea, the girl from before observed the stage only to see Elijah seating on a chair and drinking tea under the shocked gazes of the crowd watching from the big screens of light showing the battle from all angles.

"So we are going to start the show?" Seeing Lea lock on, Elijah returned the stare with a grin. Storing away the tea, he closed his eyes before opening once again, this time he aura changed from the ordinary mortal to a deadly beast in less than a second. Lea steeped back, this gaze of his gave the feeling nothing could hide before his eyes and all of her secrets were like a open book for him to read anytime he wanted.

Suddenly, he returned to normal a moment later like nothing happened and thrust his hand forward. He may seem to be looking at her, yet his eyes reflected countless images. His eyes searched his past and memories before he locked his attention on the void steps given to him by Yawen. 

Colorless light lit up below his feet, Lea noticed the danger and waved her hand summoning waves and waves of temperst energy and throwing at Elijah who just stood there as the attacks would naturally divert to other sides without even getting close.

And for most of the time, Lea rushed forward and send a huge barrage of moves only to be deflected each time. One or two cut appeared on his face from where a drop of blood flowed down and everyone gasped in cold air.

This! Not only a member of the time clan, he also had Ichor flowing on his veins! Demigods, gods and servants of different divine clans as well as the and descendants of the gods of olympus could not believe what they saw. All of them knew of the special blood shared by the olympian clan was special, it gave powerful innate divine strength even to the weakest mortal. 

This Ryn certainly had a close relation to them if they would give him Ambrosia and Nectar for him to replace his blood for ichor. Yalli was having problems fighting her opponent when another wave of water, lightning and wind came at her. For less than a second she focused on her eyes and managed to see the tiny gap on Lyax guard. Elijah who was playing with Lea saw her opportunity and light covered his eyes.

"What!?" For a moment everything slowed down and froze before Yalli's eyes. The water, wind and lightning were about to touch when it all stopped moving and it didn't take long for her to understand Elijah was giving some time for her to prepare her attack.

'Thank you brother-in-law, I won't let you down.' Having concentrated, void energy and green flames rushed forth. With 100% of her powers unleashed more the giant boost from the hammer, a huge green-black hammer covered in mist cracked the three laws and smashed the man on the chest and pushed him back to outside the stage from where both her and Lyax fell on the ground. They were now out of the game.

It all happened in between a single second and no mortal could see how she did it. Only celestials with keen eyesight saw the 'little' push Elijah gave in order of Yalli succeed in her attack. But even without seeing, the small disturb and traces of movement in space-time were proof of what he did.

"Not bad." The enemy captain complimented. This was just a tournament, not a life and death battle, so why the need to care if they win or lose? Any expert has only reach great heights after acc.u.mulating enough experiences and loses, a cultivation that never suffered any loss is useless once he faces defeat for the first time after cultivating his arrogance. A true cultivator must know when to fight and when to retreat.

Not only Ava and Evelynne were powerful cultivators with some of the powers and insights of their past lives, Just to face Elijah who easily played Lea, a fully-fledged ninth step powerhouse with more than a few hundred thousand years of experience. The captain judged only with all four of them together could they have a chance of defeating this enigmatic figure of the time clan. Lea was about to charge at Elijah when she felt a stare on her and decided to step back.

"We admit defeat." Lioni, the team captain stepped forward while tying his fists. No matter how much he knew this was was the only, no living being be it mortal or celestial would be happy with running away from a battle. Jumping out of the stage, all their members had apologizing looks on their eyes as they picked Lyax from the ground and brought him to the resting area while Elijah and his team felt complex feelings as they returned to the waiting room.

[Daddy! I knew you could do it. Mommy, Sis and I will be waiting for you at the finals.]

[Of course, it's a promise. We shall meet at the finals] It was about the same time he received a voice transmission that made him full of happiness and laugh out loud.
