194 The Fifth Wave (1/2)

Everyone standing outside saw her produce a powerful wave by clashing her sword onto her silver shield that nullified the griffin's shriek and forced the griffin to land.

When the griffin landed on the ground, she didn't waste any time as she leaped onto the griffin's back. The griffin shook its body and tried to throw her away from its back, but she was standing on its back with a perfect balance.

Step by step, she moved towards the griffin's head and noticed her coming towards its head, the griffin smashed itself against the walls to shake her off from its back. However, unlike its calculation, the princess jumped into the air the moment it hit the walls and landed perfectly on its back again.

Looking at the show she was providing for them, no one cared to look at the other projections including Don's where he seemed to be struggling against the griffin since the pain in his chest was still affecting his body and mind.

On the contrary to him, Princess Audrey seemed to have a good time as she had a smile on her face unlike the other contestants in the other arenas.

If Knight was in his true form with his wings, he wouldn't be having a hard time dealing with a flying foe. Every time he tried to attack the griffin, it would fly away from him.

”Look, she's casting a spell”

They saw little twin dragons coiling around her hands. The griffin sensed the threat as it violently shook its body to shake her off. Yet, the griffin's struggle didn't do anything as the dragons made of energy grew bigger with time.

”Devouring Dragons”

She uttered the words as the dragons transformed and resembled real dragons. The griffin screamed in fear as one dragon breathed fire as the other one breathed ice and with a thunderous roar, the dragons breathed fire and ice. The crowd stood shocked to the core seeing the ice and fire swallowing the griffin and in a few moments, the griffin disappeared into nothingness as Princess Audrey landed on the ground.

”Wow, she really showed us how it's done”

The crowd clapped and cheered for her while she put her reward inside her space ring without even taking a glance at it.

”This is why no one is able to touch the Archeron Kingdom, she alone can destroy many kingdoms in a single day”

Eventually, some of the contestants forfeited the challenge by entering the white light as others like Knight, Don, Arrora killed the griffin and finished the wave.

When the wave four started only the prodigies of the empires remained in the arena alongside Don, Arrora, the tigress, and Knight.

The wave four presented a humanoid creature that had four hands with long claws, two legs with poisonous spikes on them, and a pair of wings to give the creature the ability to fly.

Arrora and the tigress barely evaded its deadly claws. Unlike these two, Knight sensed the creature behind him as he quickly attacked the creature with his claws but the creature flew away just before Knight's claw could touch it.

”Great, super reflexes, flying and vanishing skill, this is going to be a long battle with this body ”

Knight said with a frustrated tone and waited for the creature to make a move.

The battle with this creature went for quite a long time until Princess Audrey perfectly calculated where the creature would appear after vanishing and stab the creature through its heart in a precise moment.

”You're fast, yet you're too predictable”

She waved her sword as the blood of the creature splashed onto the ground.

”Did you see that?”

The youths started to discuss her flawless techniques and cleverness as the others clapped and cheered for her.

At the end of the wave, the tigress became tired and decided to leave the arena before the creature killed her. Just like her, Prince Rodrigo and the Coldfield sibling also left the arena and joined the others.

”I thought he's a swordsman”

The tigress saw Don fighting with the bow in his hand and trying to hit the creature but the creature kept vanishing before his arrow could hit it.

The reason the creature was escaping his arrows is that he hadn't put enough battle energy into the arjuna bow as the nails of the underground was still causing him great pain in the chest and affecting his mind.

The nails were said to be used by the demons in hell to torture their victims by causing them an immense amount of pain. So when someone was pierced by the nails, it would take the victim at least a day of rest before he could feel the pain lessen.

Usually, Don would take two whole vials of healing potion to soothe the pain but he couldn't retrieve the potions from his space ring while everyone was watching him.
