Chapter 3382 Winning



A woman with a single fiery horn stopped in front of me. She had blue scaly skin and sharp claw hands.

She looked beautiful and had a feeling of wickedness in her.

She is a Sovereign, but her aura couldn't be guessed and when I looked deeply, I felt it was a peak Sovereign, but seeing the place she was from; it is unlikely the case.

"You didn't look strong," she said, looking at me from up to down. "I am not really and would be grateful if you could remove the seal from me," I replied, to which she grinned.

"Ara, wouldn't have put his precious seal on you if you were a weakling." She said as the bloody aura bubbled around her.

That bastard Aranor Winterthorn. If it hadn't been for him, I would have been safe traveling toward my destination.

"We are very close to the city. If we fight here, it will attract attention and those people wouldn't let me leave after our battle is over," I said.

I am not worried about her. If I didn't proclaim it is a life and deal dual, she will just beat the shit out of me, if I had lost, before leaving.

What I am worried about is the Earth Sovereigns.

The bastards were on edge, detaining anyone who they suspect, and I don't want to be detained, despite it seemed like a delicious proposal since I would be able to focus my all inheritance and studying the runes.

"Don't worry, as long as you beat me. I will give you something that will grant you immunity in this organization's territory," she replied, and my eyes widened in surprise.

"What if I lost?" I asked, and she smiled.

"If you lost fairly. You will be able to leave without getting detained or arrested," she replied.

"Really?" I asked, to which she just looked at me.

I shouldn't be asking these stupid questions. Of course, she had the power to do something like it; she could go to the organization's headquarter and demand anything and they will fulfill her request.

"The duel will last for ten minutes and no killing allowed," I stated the rules.

While these are rules that are followed unstated. It is better to state them. These people violet them, once they agreed.

"Agreed," she said.

Burst 100%

Immediately, a smile appeared on my face, and I activated the full power of the burst that my body is barely containing, but on the outside, not a single change could be seen in me.

I shouldn't have used full power, since I hadn't gotten used to it, but I wanted to.

Boom!

As the full power of the burst filled me; I moved toward her with a loud boom in the air.

It surprised her, but her reaction instantly with a bloody aura like a tsunami came out of her and came moved toward me, with the spear in her hand.

We appeared in front of each other and, without saying anything, attacked each other.

CLANNNG!

Her spear clashed with my sword, creating a defeating clash and a powerful shockwave.

I felt my whole body shaking, but I didn't have time to deal with it as she launched another attack with a dense ball of bloody energy covering the tip of her spear.

My sword also got covered densely with energy and moved to clash against her spear.

CLANNNG CLANNNG CLANNNG

Our weapons clashed again, but this time, it brought a tsunami of energy. The thousands of formations inside my armor lit brightly as they absorbed the bloody energy covering me.

This time, I was able to bear the attack better and launched mine and she defended before attacking me.

Her attacks are fast and powerful and each of them aiming at my weakness. I needed to be extremely alert to deal with her, while six of my clones study every movement of her.

The battle is going to last for an hour, and I need to defeat her.

For the first second, I only wanted a draw, but now I want to defeat it. It will be hard seeing she is a very skillful opponent and powerful, but I will try.

Not that I have a choice. If I didn't give my all, that seal inside me senses it. It is restricted, but it could still sense many things like me not using all my strength against the dual.

These people become very nasty if they realized their opponent didn't use their full power against them.

She might even get arrested by the Earth Sovereigns.

Speaking of which, two of them arrived within a minute of us fighting.

They only used their soul sense of moment before quickly pulling back and now are just watching from the distance, without hiding themselves.

Seconds passed as our weapons clashed with each other at rapid speed. Each was with the intention of defeating the others, but not one of such is succeeding.

As I had said, she is not an easy opponent; no one from the realm is.

It is said; they need to prove themselves before they could get out of the realm. The test is not easy, and it makes sure that only the most capable could get out to gain experience in the real world.

Soon, the four minutes passed, and another Earth Sovereign appeared by the two and, like them, she is only watching.

"You are good. A fighting style that is not learned, but polished through the war," she commented, and I glared.

I hate these bastards. They read the opponent so well. The last one I had fought against, has said, I have a Celestial Inheritance in less than ten meters of fighting.

It is not easy, even when I am not applying my most powerful cloaking measures.

"You must a be crasher," she said and once again I glared at her.

"Interested in joining our realm? I could refer you," she asked, surprising me. "No interested," I replied, and she didn't surprise by that.

Soon, nine minutes passed, and only the last minute remained, and I could see the change appearing in her fighting style. She had started to take big risks and use everything she has.

I, on the other hand, didn't change anything, till the last half minute, before a big change appeared in me.

Till now, I have only asked my clones to study her, but didn't use the knowledge they have gathered. It is time; I use that.

As I launched the first attack with that knowledge, a surprise appeared on her face, and she moved her spear defensively.

CLANNNG CLANNNG CLANNNG

She defended, but I had launched another and then another, all of which she had been forced to defend.

I attacked her, and she defended.

She is very good at it, defending her weakness skillfully. Few people could fight like that, but it is not surprising seeing the place she is from.

Twenty seconds passed and now only the last ten had remained and I pressed her harder and harder, but she defended against them.

When the last three seconds have remained. I have harnessed all my power, which I have been hiding for my last move, and attacked her with it.

If she defended it. It will be tied once again.

CLANNNNG!

Our weapons clashed for the last time, but this time, my sword begin to slide fast on her spear.

She tried to stop and nearly did, but I moved and used some of my special energies, which I had made using her, which gave me an edge, and my sword reached where it needed.

"You lost," I said as my sword stopped inches away from her neck.

"I did," she said, putting down her spear with a sigh, while the sword disappeared from my hand.

I win, but it is a dual. If it had been a life-and-death battle, the result would have been vastly different.

"Now, give me what you have promised," I said to her directly, and she smiled.

A moment later, a medallion appeared in her hand, and she threw it toward me.

"Bond it with your aura; it will give you unrestricted access to this organization's territory for a period of one month," she said.

"Thank you," I said as inserted my aura in it.

"There is nothing to thank me for. You deserve it and this too," she said and a familiar seal appeared above her hand and she sent it toward me.

"Oh, fuck," I cursed.
