Chapter 122

...Yasenia started by bowing and apologizing. “I’m sorry, senior-sister, I was jealous that senior-sister knows more about my mother than I do, and I was disrespectful.”

Isla laughed softly and said, “Don’t worry, you are still young, and those things happen. Even I got slightly jealous when I saw Lady Death Empress behave so gently with you. She is completely different than when she is in front of others.”

Yasenia chuckled and nodded, “Thank you, senior sister.”

While they were talking, the announcer presented the fourth and final team that would battle. Then he began the countdown. “Now that you know all of our participants... Let’s begin! Ten! Nine!... ”

Isla surrounded herself in blue and yellow Valkyrie-like armor and took out a broadsword. And Yasenia used her [Celestial Coat], covering herself in a silvery-golden glow with starlight around. ‘Not only is she stronger, but she also has the evolved coat...’

Comparing the current aura release, Yasenia’s fell short by a large amount. The spectators were skeptical, not knowing if Yasenia could last a single exchange. However...

“Three! Two! One! Begin!”

Yasenia’s aura expanded as she directly used [Day and Night]! Her presence grew at exponential speeds, becoming completely outrageous. Isla’s current aura and hers clashed!

The stage cracked as Yasenia’s aura overpowered Isla’s! It continued forward, and the shockwave reached Isla. Nonetheless, the effect the shockwave had on Isla was minimal. It blew her hair like a strong gale and nothing more. Isla smirked and said, “Impressive, this berserk skill is extremely strong. I wouldn’t be your match if we were at the same cultivation level. However, how much can your body take of it, Yasenia?”

Yasenia smiled, battle hungry as the black phantom sky appeared. “Let’s find out.”

Her eye color changed to silver as her demeanor became gentle, like the moon that guards you at night. Then, Yasenia’s whisper echoed around. “In a [Moonless night], under the [Starry Sky], I fight, [Lingering Stars] on my side.”

Yasenia spun once while white lights began appearing around her. After the spin a silver domain spread, covering most of the arena. Then, she shot forward with her sword behind her, creating a shockwave.

Isla also charged forward using her movement technique, leaving a blue and yellow trail behind her.

Yasenia continued her chant, her whisper resounding, “The [Moon Charge]s into the sky, covering my body with its light. [Celestial coat] envelop, make my might develop.”

As the sky changed with Yasenia’s words, the silvery-golden aura surrounding Yasenia strengthened. Then, she pointed her sword forward, and a silver radiance appeared at the tip of her sword.

Yasenia stomped the ground, accelerating further and making the silver radiance surround her body.

They reached each other, and giant sword and broadsword collided. Silver and yellow-blue lights consumed their arena as a big explosion followed.

The spectators focused on the aftermath of the first clash, and they could see that Yasenia managed to push Isla, making her feet slide.

As she slid backward, Isla felt her sword vibrating and thought. ‘She is stronger than I predicted, and her domain is absorbing my energy... I will have to go a little serious.’

“[Oceanic domain].”

From Isla, a blue wave expanded, fighting against Yasenia’s silver domain. The arena behind Isla became blue with phantom waves moving around. This left half of it silver and half blue.

While Isla slid, Yasenia’s whisper spread around, “[Crescent Moon] spreads soft light. The [Wanning Moon] supports my fight.”

Yasenia’s body, tail, and sword were enhanced by [Wanning Moon], adding the chilling Moon attribute, increasing her lethality. Then, Yasenia’s silver slit eyes thinned as her muscles moved extremely coordinated, doing a perfect horizontal slash, she let the momentum spin her as her sword tail created another crescent and the cycle repeated. A barrage of [Crescent Moon] attacks shot toward Isla.

Isla managed to stop sliding after almost 300m, just as Yasenia sent the first crescent. She swung her 90cm long broadsword rapidly, sending numerous light-attribute projectiles towards the silver crescents.

The attacks collided, and Yasenia’s crescent destroyed her skill twice before dissipating. Isla needed two sword swings for each silver crescent, and Yasenia’s attack speed and hers were practically the same. Isla remained calm as she thought, ‘I can’t continue like this.’

Isla planted her feet on the ground cracking it. Her aura swelled and chanted, her voice imposing. “[Endless Light Waves].”

Yasenia and Isla charged at each other and exchanged sword attacks. Yasenia utilized her continuous [Sunrise] strikes, as Isla countered and attacked back using the [Oceanic Divine Battle Dance].

Now, there was an exchange of destruction against elegance in the arena.

Gold against Blue.

A Dragon and a Divine.

Everyone held their breath as the battle moved around the arena.

Yasenia’s attacks combined her sword and tail intricately, leaving the ground scorched and frosted.

Isla’s attacks were precise and managed to block her attacks, creating chances to counterattack and make the dragoness bleed.

Yasenia ignored her injuries, as they were regenerating thanks to her natural regeneration and her [Celestial Coat]. She continued using [Sunrise] until she was fully charged with Sun energy.

Her skin was glowing golden, and her tail was also completely golden. She made a rising strike as she shouted, “SCRAM!”

*BANG!*

Isla received the attack and was pushed back by the golden vertical crescent shot from Yasenia’s sword. She frowned as she thought, ‘What is she doing? No matter what it is, I won’t let you!’

Isla tried to stop herself from sliding, pushing against the crescent. “HAAAA!!!”

*BANG!*

Isla managed to destroy the crescent and shot towards Yasenia. However, by the time she did that, Yasenia had already ended her chant!

Yasenia pointed the sword at the phantom Sun in the middle of the blue sky!

Her voice was as imposing as the Sun in the heavens!

“AS THE TIME PASSES! AS THE MIDDAY LOOMS! MY TIME ARRIVES! WHAT COMES IS [NOON]!”

While Isla was in mid-charge, Yasenia’s body exploded in golden radiance as if a second sun appeared in the middle of the arena!

Isla bit her lips and stopped her charge, preparing her defenses. “[Water dome], [Ice reinforcement], [Spatial lock], [Oceanic blessing]!”

This time she added another layer, making it sturdier than before. Moreover, she focused her defenses on the frontal half of the dome.

When Isla finished setting up her defenses, Yasenia lowered her sword, and an enormous sword-shaped sunbeam fired from her sword. It covered the arena before her completely, leaving her opponent with no choice but to block. Moreover, thanks to [Day and Night], the phantom Sun also fired from the sky, carrying celestial judgment onto Yasenia’s enemy.

The two giant sunbeams scorched everything in their way and reached the blue and white dome. The impact bent the dome inwards and Isla, who was connected to the dome, felt like a meteor had hit her.

The first layer was destroyed almost instantly, and the ice layer cracked everywhere. The beams continued, and the ice layer exploded, leaving only a blue dome separating Isla and the catastrophic attack. Isla shouted, pouring energy into the dome, “HAAAA!!!”

Yasenia had blood on the corner of her mouth, eyes, and nose as she channeled the attack, and her meridians and Dantian pumped energy crazily. “ROAAAARR!!!!”

The beam took a blurred draconic shape and fired toward Isla!

Isla closed her eyes, and her blue aura turned yellow before the attack collided.

The draconic sunbeam consumed the dome and Isla!

*BOOOM!!!!*

The spectators held their breath as they waited for everything to settle.
