Chapter 110 : Amelia vs Zo

"Don't call me that!" Reacted Talia to Alex calling her 'beautiful'.

"Is it false? Are you not beautiful?" Asked Alex in an innocent tone.

"No, it's just that it feels disgusting coming from you! I don't even know how woman the like of Lilia and Anna can be with a man like you" CHeCk for new stories on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m

"Oh you do know the reason, if I recall correctly, weren't you also-"

"Shut up!" Exclaimed Talia to keep Alex from continuing his sentence.

She shot him a death glare and whispered to him, "If you ever-"

"Start!"

Before she could finish her warning, Talia's voice was drowned out by Adrian's, announcing the start of Amelia and Zo's fight.

Talia glared at Alex one last time before turning around to concentrate on Amelia's fight.

'It's always funny to mess with here, chuckled Alex before he also turned to concentrate on Amelia's fight.

Upon the fight initiation, before Amelia could even take out her seeds that usually grow into plants, Zo took out a longsword from his space ring and charged towards her.

'I must not give her time to use any of her abilities,' thought Zo as he streaked towards Amelia with great speed.

From what he had seen, Amelia was the type of opponent that one should defeat at the very start of a fight due to her abilities.

He needed to defeat her before she had time to plant her seeds and make them grow.

He wasn't worried about her other power that allowed her to create an explosion in her battle against Ector because, from his understanding, she needed time to form that explosive orb. So, if he defeated her from the start, he didn't need to worry.

What Zo didn't know was that contrary to what he and everyone else who didn't know Amelia's residual blast ability thought, she didn't need to concentrate for a long period to create her orb. The reason it took her several minutes when fighting Ector was due to the lack of residual energy in the air and the ground at the start of the fight. However, how many battles occurred after hers? How many abilities were used, and thus, how much residual energy was available for her to utilize?

The answers to these questions were 'many,' so contrary to before when she needed time to concentrate and draw residual energy to her, now she could do it even on the fly, as she just did.

"Do you give up or do you want to test if your hardened skin can resist the explosion ?" Asked Amelia.

As Zo was seriously thinking if he should have faith in his hardened skin to save him.

"For your information, I can make this orb much bigger than this, and it will be at least ten times more powerful than the one I used Ector, are you willing to give it a go?" Questioned Amelia with a smile.

"You pair of siblings are really something" said Zo as he shook his head.

"I give up"

"That's the smart thing to do," said Amelia as she dispersed the residual energy she had used to create the orb.

"Amelia's wins the fight!" Exclaimed Adrian.

After that, Amelia returned to the participants' sitting area, boasted to her brother a little, then started gossiping with Anna and Talia as the next fight unfolded. Meanwhile, Alex dozed off again due to the boring battles that took too long from his point of view.

Just like in the first stage of the competition, all the fights that happened after Amelia's were boring to watch because there wasn't much action.

The only fight that interested the people after Amelia one was the one opposing Talia's little brother and Jonathan.

Jonathan had won the fight, but it was not as easily as his fight in the first round, and he even had to use one of his two abilities, wind manipulation, to win the battle.

After this fight, there was another one and then finally it was time for the last fight of the second round.

"Talia darling, it's our turn, let's make sure to go at it for a long time~"
