Chapter 85 - I Hate That Elemental Core of Yours! (2/2)

It was true, the main reason why she focused in powerful attacks was that her cultivation technique was focused in her amount of spiritual energy and the spiritual energy recovery over the battle, in this selection, probably only Krune had a rate of spiritual energy recovery during battle higher than Lina.

The battle continued and blow after blow was exchanged, sometimes the water dragon was hit, other times Lina was the one to receive some kind of injury, the water dragon's confidence started to disappear, doesn't matter how many attacks Lina used, her spiritual energy seemed to stay at the peak all the time, it was as if she had unlimited supply of it.

Knowing that he had hit a metal wall, Drorne changed his tactics, he could only focus more on pursuing Lina while ignoring some of her attacks, otherwise, the one who would run out of spiritual energy, in the end, would be him.

Lina saw that and started to laugh, she was waiting for the dragon to do that, she waited for a moment when it's guard would be low and mounted a sneak attack, she concentrated her spiritual energy on her hands and prepared to use one of her trump cards, it didn't take long for the moment to come, as soon as the opening appeared, she attacked straight away.

”Thunder-Fire Explosion!”

Her hands touched the side of the water dragon's body and an enormous explosion could be heard, the water dragon's body was sent flying, she saw that and thought it was finally over, but it was at that moment that she heard a voice behind her.

”Gotcha!”

Lina was alarmed! She immediately tried to use her lightning movement to flee but it was too late.

Drorne had somehow appeared right behind her, he opened his mouth and shot a water attack straight at her back.

”Dragon Water Cannon!”

Lina could only close her eyes and do her best to reinforce her fire armor, but water was the weakness of fire abilities, although it reduced some of the damage at first, she was still sent flying while coughing some blood, Drorne didn't let the chance go and pounced at Lina the moment the attack hit her back, just as its claws were about to pierce her chest, his body suddenly stopped mid-air, doesn't matter how much Drorne wanted to move, he couldn't advance even a centimeter forward, but he soon realized why is that, Lina was a foundation establishment cultivator just like himself, there is no way she could have such power, which means that the one who stopped him could only be the referee!

Lina didn't move, she had lost consciousness in that last attack, that was the reason why the referee stopped Drorne, the water dragon noticed that as well and finally calmed down, the power that bound it also disappeared after that, the referee came forward and proclaimed.

”Water Dragon Drorne Wins!”

Everyone was taken aback with that fight, they looked at the body of the dragon that had been hit by Lina's Thunder Fire Explosion and noticed that it had turned into a pool of water, Tasier looked at that and narrowed his eyes, it was the same technique as his lightning replacement, just that it used water, the incredible thing was that Drorne was able to trick Lina with his enormous body, but the trick behind it was a skill that Yusa knew very well, water frame! Drorne used this skill only once during the battle, and that was right before Lina charged over to attack, in the end, the dragon that showed that opening wasn't the real Drorne to start with.

The people of Makui Continent were disappointed, while the Ice Continent people were cheering, Drorne is a water dragon from their continent after all, and no one expected that he would win in the end, this means that they would have one more contestant to fight for the five slots in the final phase.

On Yusa's arena, the battle was over a long time ago, her opponent had received quite a few injuries during the last day battles and they hadn't fully recovered yet, even if they had, he wasn't Yusa's match to start with, so Yusa was able to finish it quite fast, and she took that chance to watch the battle between Lina and Drorne after the battle was over, she sent a Divine Sense message to Krune.

”I think I understand the principle of that water replacement, I will try to master it before the Martial Gathering.”

Krune heard that and nodded.

”It's not that hard, it is simply using the water element to make a water copy, as for why the body looks like a real dragon, that is just a mirage caused by controlling the light with the spiritual energy left behind in the copy, also, the other element replacements might not be exactly like that, but they follow the same principle.”

Yusa heard that and got curious.

”Does it mean you can use it?”

Krune nodded.

”I can use any type of elemental replacement now, or should I call it an elemental clone, maybe?”

Yusa got furious.

”Then why didn't you tell us about that before? You could have shown that to Ao, Shinja, and myself!”

Krune looked back at Yusa with a puzzled face.

”But I just learned it after Tasier's battle yesterday, and only today before the battles started did I finally finish getting used to the five elements, there wasn't enough time for me to teach you at all!”

Yusa almost fainted, he understood all five elements replacement in a single day!

”I hate this elemental core of yours!”

Krune was amazed, it wasn't like he choose to get an elemental core himself, you know?
