"I'm Kai Carter's student!"
Felice dissolved her Telekinesis that surrounded her fist, releasing a pressure like no other. In that instant, the sea lion felt as if a giant boulder had just struck his hand.
"Kh!" The sea lion widened his eyes, never expecting this kind of power from Felice. He gritted his teeth and pushed several meters back.
Luckily, he managed to withstand that kind of punch. If not, he would be an embarrassment.
He raised his hand and covered his fins with rocks that came out of the ground, creating a stone arm—the size of Felice's metal arms.
He flapped his tail and launched his big body to Felice, sending a punch. "Whether you are his student or not, it doesn't matter. What matters the most is your strength!"
The sea lion punched her.
Felice struck his fist with the same technique, and the two powers collided.
However, the conclusion came so suddenly. Felice's Telekinesis broke first and the pressure was dispersed to all directions.
The sea lion's stone hand hit Felice's metal hand and cracked the front.
"Gah!" Felice widened his eyes while gasping. The splinters from her metal arms grazed her fingers inside.
Blood began to flow out of the wounds and Felice decided to jump back, regaining some distances.
She raised her hand and checked the condition of her metal hand. The front area seemed to be crushed, making it unusable.
"…" Felice furrowed her eyebrows and deactivated the right hand. She didn't know whether her normal hand would be strong enough to handle that kind of punch or not.
Her bones might even get crushed.
"Hahaha! You are useless. You won't be able to win against me." The sea lion laughed, mocking Felice's power.
Felice clicked her tongue and stomped the ground, cracking the ground. After that, she raised her hands, and several giant boulders were lifted up from the ground, floating in front of her.
Aiming at the sea lion, she shot all of them in succession.
The sea lion harrumphed and hit the ground with his left fin. Spikes soon came out and skewed the boulders, stopping all of them.
"Not enough. You won't be able to defeat me." The sea lion kept mocking her, showing their difference in strength.
Felice, not wanting to lose, jumped forward while avoiding all the boulders.
Even the sea lion was startled when he realized Felice was using the boulders to be her covers, making it hard for him to determine where Felice was.
"No. This is not enough." The sea lion flapped its tail and lifted up the entire chunk of dirt along with all the boulders and spikes, which should raise Felice to the air.
However, Felice surprisingly appeared next to him.
"What?!" The sea lion widened his eyes and came to a realization. "You always stayed on the farthest rock?"
Although Felice didn't respond, the answer was obvious. By using the farthest rock, she could avoid his attack and used it as the biggest cover to sneak around him.
"I already said… I'm Kai Carter's student!" Felice snorted and punched him in the face.
The sea lion flew to the side because of the Telekinesis force and rolled a few times on the ground.
Felice didn't want to let the sea lion recover, so she created a few more boulders to smash him. She was always proud whenever she said she was Kai Carter's student.
This title carried a huge burden on her shoulder. At the same time, it also proved that she was the one who Kai Carter recognized. There was no way she would be ordinary.
Unfortunately, her lack of experience became the one thing that restrained her from becoming stronger than this.
And the sea lion used her lack of experience at this moment.
Chains—made of dirt—emerged from the ground, circling around her wrists and ankles.
"!!!" Felice gasped and saw the sea lion already standing.
"You… You faked it?!" Felice just realized the fact the sea lion acted like he was injured after that punch. She noticed the rock around his right cheek that seemed to be the one blocking her punch earlier.
Everything was just to chain her down in this place.
"Since you are so proud of becoming his disciple, I will see whether you are strong enough to keep that title or not." The sea lion smirked and jumped forward, sending his fist that had been covered with stone.
"Not good. If I take this, I will…" Felice gritted her teeth, seeing the sea lion that kept coming closer.
"Telekinesis." Felice released all her power and used her Telekinesis to shatter the ground and the chains.
Bam.
The Telekinesis created a crater beneath her and shattered the chains into pieces.
Unfortunately, the sea lion had already arrived in front of her and was about to hit her stomach.
"No." She quickly used her Telekinesis to launch the sea lion away, but his big body was too heavy for her.
She might be able to lift a huge building, weighing a few tonnes. However, the sea lion had utilized his own Magic Power to repel her telekinesis, making it hard for her to lift him up.
That was why she decided to fight him in close combat. Unfortunately, this was her mistake because the sea lion managed to trick her into this situation.
"Sorry, Master…" Felice closed her eyes.
Before feeling any impact, a woman's voice echoed in her ears, saying, "Before apologizing to him, you should stay alive first. He surely wants to hear your voice."
Felice and the sea lion's bodies shook as they instinctively turned to the side, finding Dark Michelle coming with her scythes.
Dark Michelle waved her swords and released two Shadow Slashes.
"Shadow Slash!"
"Not good!" The sea lion widened his eyes in shock and quickly stopped his movement. He wanted to avoid it by jumping to the side.
However, one of Dark Michelle's Shadow Slashes hit the fin that was about to hit Felice.
The Shadow Slash circled around the stone hand and cut through it until the fin fell to the ground.
"Argh!" The sea lion screamed in pain while looking at the cut fin. The blood flowed out of his fin and fell to the ground.
Not wanting to get any more attacks, the sea lion regained his distance and glared at Dark Michelle, who came to the rescue.
"I have come." Dark Michelle smiled at Felice.
"You are…" Felice widened her eyes as this was the first time she saw Dark Michelle.
"I am Michelle as well. Just don't care about my appearance." Dark Michelle gave a thumbs up. "If you want, you can even call me, Master's wife."
"…" Felice's body shook and made a weird smile. "Ehm…"
"Why are you hesitating? Am I that suspicious?" Dark Michelle pouted while looking away.
"That's not it." Felice denied it and explained, "I believe it can be solved after this war."
"Fine, fine. I will let you go for now." Dark Michelle sighed and pointed at the sea lion. "We need to kill that bastard before I lose all my Magic Power. Do you have any idea?"
Felice furrowed her eyebrows and gulped down. "I actually have an idea."
"Good." Dark Michelle nodded in satisfaction while bending her knees, asking her to whisper it to her ears.
Felice told her a few things that put a smile on Dark Michelle's face.
"We absolutely need to do that!"
