A moment ago, Sihan just got the shock of his life. He understood why Alea was considered a genius after that one move.

She had been using both hands to get more power to somehow break past his defense.

Although Sihan managed to stop it, his hands felt numb and refused to move because of the constant hit. He couldn't even use his sword anymore since the pressure Alea gave was too heavy.

Like how Ellen and Theo described her, she indeed became at least three times stronger than her past self. And no one ever reached this level in history, making him impressed.

'Seriously? This is beyond my imagination. How can someone challenge this kind of monster?' Sihan clenched his teeth and thought no more as he kept blocking her attack with all his might to buy as much time as possible.

But the conclusion came suddenly.

When Alea was about to slice him, Sihan raised his shield, slightly facing his right. Normally, the sword would slide down the shield's surface before flying to his left. At that time, he would face the left to withstand another swing.

Yet, Alea showed him something that he never thought was possible. In the middle of her swing, she stopped that swing, so the sword carried the momentum and the centrifugal force. She then released that sword in the air and let it spin two times in the air like a baseball player trying to spin the bat with their swing before catching it again.

She did exactly that and caught the sword after spinning for less than a second. However, it was enough to fool Sihan's body.

Due to the continuous pressure from the start of the match, Sihan already remembered her attack pattern. And it became the weapon that killed him.

'Impossible. Is she a human?' thought Sihan as his body instinctively leaned in the opposite direction even though his eyes were still glued on Alea's sword, leaving his defense open. He shouted,

"Careful!

"

Alea caught the sword and continued her swing.

Now that Sihan didn't have any more defense, her sword sliced his neck and sent his head flying.

Sihan dropped to his knees and disappeared.

"You are a strong opponent. Unfortunately, I can't afford to lose this match.

" Alea let out a sigh before looking at Theo, who appeared to be the second challenger.

Meanwhile, Ellen and Theo looked at Hontar and the bear.

He grabbed the sword and summoned his clone before handing the sword to him.

Clone Theo then headed to the bear to buy time while they killed Hontar.

Obviously, Hontar's wind was strong enough to shatter the ice and freed himself from the restraint.

Theo moved to the front and activated his Haste and Focused Charge at the same time.

Hontar, on the other hand, covered his sword with wind and struck Theo's spear.

His Focused Charge destroyed the wind and created a powerful shock wave that almost blew him away. Luckily, Theo still used his Haste that improved his speed since he kept making small steps to return to maintain his balance.

Knowing it had no use, Hontar quickly changed his strategy to prepare for Ellen's attack, but unfortunately for him, it wasn't going to happen.

After all, the next attack was coming from Clone Theo.

Yes, he used the Magic Bullet while faking his mission of stopping the bear. Of course, Clone Theo didn't need to take aim since the vision came from the real Theo. While getting a shared vision, the clone also managed to avoid the bear strike.

As for Hontar, his condition was worse after being rained by Magic Bullets. His body was full of holes and Ellen appeared next to him and delivered the killing blow.

In another fight, after Phyrill sent off Laust to face Alea, he ran toward the twins.

"No, you won't!

" Makkal shot the arrows, but Phyrill moved like a fish in the water.

He moved freely and unpredictably while making his way toward the twins. In addition, he used his lightning to gain more speed to avoid all those arrows that penetrated the ground every time they hit.

In a few seconds, Phyrill only needed to get past this fire lizard and he would be able to kill them. He purposely went to the right, making his way around the lizard.

But this was his poor choice… Or at least that was what the twins thought. The lizard shifted his body to the opposite direction, so he could use his tail to stop Phyrill.

When the fire lizard was about to flap its tail to hit Phyrill and launch him away, Theo's Magic Bullets had arrived along with giant ice from Ellen.

The Magic Bullets hit the tails and repelled the tail away, creating a path for Phyrill. Leca tried to stop Phyrill with another breath, but the giant ice hit the lizard's head and crushed it in an instant. This was the reason why Phyrill chose this direction.

As the lizard started to disappear, Phyrill smirked and used all the power in his foot to launch himself to Leca.

Leca wanted to stop him with her staff, but it was simply a difference between an Assassin and a Summoner.

Phyrill avoided her swing effortlessly and stabbed her heart.

"This is over.

"

"No.

" Leca smiled and hugged Phyrill tightly, using the remaining one or two seconds she had.

"What? Release me!

" Phyrill struggled to break free, but even if he freed himself, it was too late to dodge.

Makkal pointed his bow at her and Phyrill, thinking as long as he could kill Phyrill, Alea might be able to win against Ellen and Theo, so this was the gamble that had the biggest chance.

Unfortunately for him, Clone Theo had prepared himself for this and sent another wave of Magic Bullet since he wasn't that occupied like his real body.

Before Makkal could release his arrow, his body, head, and heart were pierced by Theo's Magic Bullets.

Despite killing the twins, they couldn't feel happy because there was the last boss they needed to face to win this match. They turned around and saw Alea killing Laust.

"To think I will be facing you three in this battle.

" Alea smiled at them.
