78 Title at the End (1/2)

Using her storm wings, Nils stopped mid-air, stabilizing herself before returning onto the ground. The thirty-six Konrad gave her no time to breathe before rushing back toward her.

”Not even one bit of mercy.”

Nils bitterly remarked, then joined the two pommels of her swords, turning them into a double bladed sword.

”I've been studying this for a while but didn't have the power to use it beforehand. Today, we might as well inaugurate it.”

Four circles of power appeared by her side as she sank her sword into the ground while falling on her right knee.

”Fourth circle spell: Lesser Storm Elemental!”

A horrifying storm burst from the sword, morphing into a large summoning circle from which emerged a flying grey giant surrounded by wind and lightning. The giant slammed his hands together, sending a storm wave to crash against the thirty-six Konrad.

Thirty-five vanished in an instant, leaving only the original who turned into light particles to avoid the blow and rematerialized a few steps back.

With a winning smile, Nils stood up.

”Storm Elemental, bring him down.”

Nils ordered, and the storm elemental threw dozens of punches at Konrad. Each blow seemed to carry tremendous storm power, but no matter how powerful, they couldn't touch Konrad.

The storm elemental joined his hands, dark clouds gathered, and from the center of the ring, a violent storm spread, trapping both Nils and Konrad within. Of course, Konrad was the only one in danger.

Within that storm, even his light attribute couldn't save him.

”So, still saying that I'm not your match? It seems that you're right. I'm out of your league.”

Nils teased; however, Konrad's focus remained on the storm elemental.

As for the spectator, they'd already become slack-jawed. Even those at the Transcendent Rank couldn't help but shiver. This fight had already transcended the Arch Rank's limit!

”I admit that you've surpassed my expectations. However, you still fall short.”

Purple lightning erupted from Konrad's body, carrying with it enormous power that caused many Transcendent Rank experts to feel threatened.

He turned into a purple lightning meteor, and slammed into the lesser storm elemental, effortlessly digging a gaping hole within its chest and moving unhindered toward Nils.

*Boom*

The storm elemental crumbled in a thundering explosion, and before Nils could react, Konrad barreled into her. The berserk power of his purple lightning shattered her physique's defenses and propelled her off the platform to fly toward the invisible barrier.

”Careful!”

Holger howled but incapacitated by the purple lightning, Nils couldn't heed his warning.

If she crashed into the barrier at her current flying speed, at best all her bones would shatter. At worst, her life wasn't guaranteed.

Instinctively, Konrad turned into a light beam, moved past Nils, and before she could crash onto the barrier, stopped her mid-flight, holding her tight against his chest.

However, the impact was so strong that his internal organs received some damages, and a thin blood line fell from the left corner of his lips.

”I guess you care…if only a little.”

Satisfied, Nils grinned, then passed out.

Astonished by the ferocious battle, the bishop failed to react in time. However, he soon regained his composure.

”First Semi-Final's winner: Anselm Kracht!”

Konrad softly landed back on the ground and dropped Nils onto the platform.

This time, the crowd didn't hesitate, and although they couldn't understand why the ninth prince had suddenly turned into a princess, they still burst into an earthshaking ovation.

However, many couldn't smile.
