Chapter 984 Strong Appearance, But Unstable Strength

Getting more serious, Alicia saw she wouldn't even come close to hurting Vicente if she didn't use everything she had. Frowning, she stood up, ignoring the pain in her back and abdomen.

With a grimace drawn on her beautiful face, she used one of her skills, making a cyan pentagram glow and some sprouts in the ground develop, forming roots towards Vicente.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

She continued to stimulate the poisonous pollen from her flowers, trying to knock out at least some of Vicente's concentration.

'What the hell is going on? I understand that he's fast, physically and mentally strong, as well as being able to block me without even touching me, but how is he immune to my poison pollen?'

The special power responsible for her becoming the great cultivator she was today was one of her first abilities, capable of poisoning her opponents through their airways. Even covering their airways with mana couldn't protect them from Alicia's poisonous pollen.

This had been the case at least 90% of the time she had trained or fought against opponents of the same power range!

Her special power had been effective in knocking out or even diminishing her opponents' powers to the point where her other powers became impossible to defend against or counter, guaranteeing her victories.

But Vicente apparently suffered nothing at first, and even now, being attacked by her root-shaped snakes, he seemed totally immune to such power.

Even the corrosive barrier she used as a form of defense, capable of disintegrating body parts of her opponents, seemed to have no effect on him.

Her eyes narrowed as she moved, using the green of her plants to alternate positions in this training room. With an ability that was like teleportation, Alicia could use the bodies of her plants to switch places quickly.

Vicente felt her dodge another blade attack he directed in her way, as he turned his eyes towards her new position.

'That's a good skill.' He thought as he smiled subtly. 'Too bad I can do something like that.'

When one's defense wasn't good enough to guarantee their well-being, the best course of action, in Vicente's view, was an attack so strong that the opponent would have no room to exploit weaknesses!

"Find a way to combine your seven skills and inflict negative effects on opponents with my characteristics. That will buy you time until you become a Grand Magus."

With those words, he himself combined his powers, generating a strong electromagnetic pulse that unleashed several bolts of lightning from his body, destroying the roots chasing him.

Simultaneously, an invisible barrier appeared around him, pushing Alicia's black poisonous powder away, while her sprouts around that area were blasted from the inside out.

Able to control mana at a subatomic level, few could resist Vicente with a cultivation so close to his and being so close to him physically.

Alicia's eyes widened as she found herself in this situation, suffering a total defeat for the first time in years!

She couldn't help but fall to her knees on the floor, watching Vicente as if he were a magician a few levels stronger than her and not just a newly promoted 7th stage.

He remained silent after all his words and last attack, feeling that his improvements since coming to Anicane from Polaris Realm were not as simple as they seemed.

'The appearance of one's magical configuration isn't everything. I feel that some of my pentagrams, of the same rank as Alicia's, are far superior to hers.'

'That's obvious.' The Throne's voice sounded in Vicente's mind. 'This girl used artificial methods to strengthen 3 of her 7 pentagrams. And one of her pentagrams was created artificially. I can feel it. Compared to you, who got your pentagrams right and evolved them with natural effort and promotion, she is far inferior.'

Vicente's power wasn't greater than Alicia's just because he had two magical forms. In parts, his configuration had a much more resilient essence than hers.

'Apparently, I won't have many rivals on the same level as me in this world... Even though we're in such a fantastic place, the people of Anicane seem to want to make their cultivation journeys too easy.' He thought to himself as he was watched by Prisiche and Alicia.
