Kritos gaze at the upcoming lightning sword intent. It was like a lightning dragon merged with the imaginary swords.
A sense of crisis appeared in Kritos's face. The first time, he felt that he should have learned or created a defensive skill.
Kritos thought that his physique is more than enough. But now, he understands how foolish he was.
As there was no other option, Kritos decided to borrow the power of his soul beast.
Not only will exponentially boost his stats but also his understanding of elements will reach another level for a short time.
However, after that Kritos body will experience a weak and unstable state for almost 3-4 days.
In this period, his battle power would drop down to half of his current battle power.
It was like a gamble where in a short time, one will achieve a high battle power and a high understanding of elements but after that, his body will experience a weak state.
In terms of pure body strength, Kritos was in high standing against Clara. But in terms of technique and skill, Kritos was a step behind her.
If only Kritos has a spiritual weapon like Clara, he could have won the battle easily.
Kritos' understanding of Archery doesn't symmetry with an ordinary bow.
The power released from the ordinary bow couldn't be compared to the Spiritual bow.
Spiritual weapons are on another level. They can't be easily broken nor can be rusted.
Besides, they are attached to an element, Just like Clara's meteorite sword where lightning is attached to her sword.
Kritos again gazed at the lightning sword intent and without much thinking, he tried to manifest his soul beast.
Suddenly, a black smoke formed above his head. It was formless and shapeless. However, if anyone focuses their eyes towards this black smoke. They will find a strand of violet eyes hidden between the center of the black smoke.
Unlike other soul beasts, Kritos soul beast manifests without any form.
However, the black smoke unexpectedly merged with Kritos surface and coated itself with Kritos skin.
A black layer molded above Kritos skin.
It covers Kitos body in such a way that Kritos entire body seems to fully dark black even affecting his face.
Kritos eyes changed into a dark violet pigment. His pupil turned into a dreadful slit with dark violet iris surrounding them. It resembles a field of midnight roses.
Kritos' state of mind becomes absolutely calm as a peaceful sea. All of his emotions were arranged in harmony, however, if a single slit of emotion unbalanced, Kritos would go into the uncontrollable mode where he would not recognize between foe or friend.
Two balls revolve around Kritos, one red and another black. One was formed due to fire and the other due to the shadow.
[Ding…]
[First Form activated…]
[First form unique ability activated…]
[No bloodline detected….]
[All Emotions are in harmony: +10STR, +10STA, +10AGI]
[Time remaining: 10 minutes]
All this happened in a fraction of seconds and the lightning sword intent was still on the way.
Suddenly, Countless fireballs appeared behind Kritos, like twinkling stars made of fire.
The temperature in the arena increased significantly. Kritos had a solemn calm expression on his face as he held the bow with his left hand and drew the bowstring with his right. His right hand emitted a boundless radiance.
Clara's heart first trembled in fear; she never saw this strange phenomenon. Besides, Kritos entire body was dark black and two orbs were continuously rating around his body.
The fireballs behind Kritos suddenly disappeared, and countless sparks appeared.
The hot air was swept away and a boundless heatwave surged in.
"Unique Ability, Fireform Flowing Cloud Arrow!"
Instantly an arrow made of entire fire appeared on the bow. The arrow formed slowly and was fired out with a 'sou!.
The fire was flowing around continuously on the arrow.
It left behind a resplendent tail of red light as it drilled through the air like a colorful ribbon; it looked extremely beautiful.
This was the fastest arrow that Clara had ever seen Kritos shoot. In one moment the arrow was still being formed on the bow, and in the next, it had turned into a magnificent streamer flying towards her lightning sword intent.
"Boom!
The pure fire arrow flashed by gracefully and shattered the lightning sword intent into countless pieces. Sawdust scattered everywhere, and Clara's trump card was gone, just like that.
Moreover, the pure arrow didn't disappear but was approaching Clara at a high speed.
The audience's mind was in shock, they didn't understand what happened in mere seconds. Most of them were looking at Kritos with their jaws dropped.
"Heavenly wind Lightning Shield!"
In such a situation, where Clara could not avoid the oncoming attack, Clara instantly executed the Heavenly wind Lightning Shield.
The electrical light formed into an H shape and wrapped around Clara.
"Cha!"
Nonetheless, Heavenly wind Lightning Shield was instantly punctured. The fireform Flowing Cloud Arrow pierced through with great momentum and hit Clara's body. The Qi and blood in her body churned. Clara could taste something sweet in her mouth as she vomited out a mouthful of blood.
Kritos calmly glanced at her. When he saw that the fireform Flowing Cloud Arrow did not pierce through Clara's body, he slightly smiled. But he couldn't understand any emotion.
Even if she was killed by his attack. Kritos would have remained calm. He would not even feel a single guilty about killing his elder brother's love.
It was happening all because his mind was in harmony.
Before transforming into the first form, Kritos tells his mind to absolutely not kill her and only use the basic unique ability to attack her with 50% of the power.
Kritos saw Clara still don't surrender the match even after being injured by his arrow. So, he thought she must have some skills in her hand.
While all this was happening, the crowd was in an uproar. Many of them are asking their doubts with each other.
"What the fu*k is happening? The man standing there is Kritos?
"What trick is he using? Why does his weird arrow have this much power?"
On the high stage, Sasha whispers in a low voice," Soul beast Transformation!"
On the other hand, Captain Mitchell was in shock.
'If I correctly remember only Core Realm experts could transform and they must have a mutual connection with each other, 'Captain Mitchell thought to himself.
Soul beast transformation wasn't easy as Captain Mitchel has described. If it is, why even Captain Mitchell is not capable of doing it?
In the entire Star Kingdom, only a handful of people could use soul beast transformation.
Presently Only four miracles of Star capital were capable out of ten miracles.
Freya was one of the four miracles, who was capable of this feat.
Freya ranked 4th in the Miracle ranking of Star capital.
Her soul beast transformation was commonly known as the Golden Holy butterfly by the public of Star Capital.
It was just a name given to her transformation by the general public.
Kritos ignored the uproar and focused his attention on Clara.
Kritos's right hand plucked the bowstring lightly, and invisible energy was transmitted to the fireform Flowing Cloud Arrow. After that, the energy arrow made of fire reappeared again.
The Heavenly wind Lightning Shield was extremely weak from the inside, so it would instantly blast apart if Kritos attack one more pure fire arrow.
Kritos knows this much power wouldn't harm Clara to the point where she would suffer internal heavy injury.
All the injuries will easily be restored by the healing pill.
A healing pill is only rare for the people of Rewa city. While as a direct disciple of sect master, she would have dozens of it.
So, Kritos again used the pure fire arrow to attack her but this time, the power was only 30%.
The huge energy of the entire fire again blasted Clara into the air, causing her to vomit another mouthful of blood.
Clara felt that her entire body was in pain.
She had never suffered such a severe injury before since coming to this world.
'Is there no chance to win against him? But I wanted to fulfill my promise which I confessed to grandfather!' Clara internally thought to herself.
She was on the verge of collapsing but still willing to continue the match. However, there wasn't a single hope.
She already sensed that he was not using his full power or she would have knocked unconscious on the ground with heavy injuries.
'Is it because of Sanju? He must have told him to not use full power against me!'
After thinking, Clara moved her head and searched Sanju in the crowd.
She knows he must be watching her match.
Merely after a second, Clara found him. Sanju was standing at the peak stage of the stadium.
Her eye contact with him and she saw Sanju nodding his head. Like he was telling her to surrender the match.
Clara nodded his head in response and declared her forfeit in a weak voice.
"I give up!"
