It's already been a few minutes since the spar commenced, but Olivia still didn't have the upper hand despite having nearly double that of Jay's overall stats.
Mainly because Jay has access to every ability that Olivia could use and knows their ins and outs, it wasn't hard for him to counter them without even having to use Lightning Flame on her.
After witnessing the breathtaking speed and power of those flames from the earlier fight, Olivia decided it's best not to close upon him and use ranged attacks so that she could have a better chance at evading when he uses Lightning Flame to attack.
She then thought to herself, 'It looks like controlling various weapons telekinetically against him was not enough. To defeat him at this range, I have no choice but to use that.'
Then, a light-golden butterfly tattoo surfaced over the back of her left palm.
Soon, that tattoo glowed and a butterfly-shaped blade manifested into reality from it, and that single blade continued to split until 25 similar looking blades were floating around Olivia.
Just from the way her tattoo turned into a weapon, Jay could tell that it was a Growth type Spirit Equipment, just like his <Centauri Kavach>.
Jay knew that she must have gained a Universe Level achievement upon becoming an Omega Chosen. Still, he didn't expect Olivia to be so lucky to obtain a Growth-type Spirit Weapon as a reward.
Till then, Jay wasn't aware of that because he couldn't see through her thoughts or memories without having Olivia realise that he is prying on her.
Since he promised not to control Olivia's actions or order her around, Jay didn't invade her privacy.
The <Thousand Butterfly Blade> that Olivia brought out was a Spirit Weapon that perfectly matches her innate talent's telekinetic abilities.
It's not surprising that Olivia received such a perfectly suited weapon since the Universe Level Achievement reward would be assigned to match the achiever's requirements.
The name 'Thousand Butterfly Blade' was due to its ability to split into thousand blades, with every single blade possessing the power of launching the user's base attack power with each attack.
For now, Olivia could only bring out 25 blades to control since the <Thousand Butterfly Blade> was still in Uncommon Grade.
Unlike Jay, who had Dante gathering the exact set of Spirit items to upgrade the <Centauri Kavach> using his Fate Stats, Olivia didn't have someone like that to upgrade her Growth type Spirit Weapon.
Nevertheless, those 25 blades were not to be looked down upon as they began to trouble Jay upon being attacked by them.
Due to Jay being only able to use 50% 0f his abilities, he could only use half of Olivia's telekinesis ability to deflect some of those blades and had to use the <Wind Sheath> skill to control <Stream Wind Sword> and block the remaining butterfly blades.
Despite being just at Uncommon Grade, those blades were so powerful and sharp-edged that their every five attacks dropped the durability of <Stream Wind Sword> by a point.
At that rate, it wouldn't take long before that sword gets scrapped. However, Jay didn't care about that since it was just a virtual projection of the real <Stream Wind Sword> and nothing that happens in the Virtual Space obviously would affect the reality.
Before the sword deteriorated into scraps, Jay managed to prepare a large net of Lightning Flames surrounding him, using nearly half his Spirit Energy reserves to keep those blades at bay.
Still, Jay didn't have the advantage he previously had as he was caught up in defending himself against the series of attacks from butterfly blades without having any room to launch attacks on Olivia.
With Olivia bringing out the <Thousand Butterfly Blade>, the events took a turn, with Jay at a disadvantage.
It didn't take long before Jay used up almost all of his Spirit Energy reserves, leaving him vulnerable.
Olivia didn't let her guard down and intended to directly finish off Jay without giving him a chance to retaliate and used all 25 butterfly blades at once.
Most of the Earth's Alpha Chosen that were spectating had their undivided attention on the ongoing fight and were almost sure that Jay would be the one on the losing end.
Even if Jay's stats, abilities and Spirit Equipment were restricted to 50% of their total capacity, they still found it unbelievable to see him on the verge of losing.
Brandon was a little sceptical about finding Jay in such a position. As someone who fought with Jay to a draw, at least in Stage-3, Brandon had an impression on Jay that he had countless hidden aces in his sleeve.
6. Henry: Stage-2
7. Kasim: Stage-2
8. Gabriel: Stage-2
9. Andrea: Stage-2
__________
Those that reached Stage-2 were ranked according to the duration they survived against Jay.
Thanks to the Space Innate Talent, Min-soo survived long enough to be ranked next to Sergei.
Soon, MJ displayed a hologram projection of the RPs they received from all three assessments combined.
__________
Final Results:
1. Kensei: 560 RP
2. Min-soo: 515 RP
3. Brandon: 375 RP
4. Sergei: 360 RP
5. Olivia: 310 RP
6. Henry: 310 RP
7. Andrea: 265 RP
8. Kasim: 235 RP
9. Gabriel: 170 RP
__________
While everyone was going through those results, Jay stated, "You could use any spare Spirit Equipment in your possession and exchange them for additional Reward Points. MJ will be looking after the conversion rate. Use the RPs you earned to level up and adjust to them as soon as possible."
Soon after that, Jay left the virtual space and resumed his expedition to further trial zones along with Akor and Dante.
