Spring Blossom Slash was an attack that only hurt the target that the user wanted. This was why the previous attack did not destroy the colosseum’s wall.But the second attack did not even create an illusion of flowers blooming. It was just a pink-colored crescent-shaped attack that flew up toward Ulmer in the blink of an eye.Ulmer cross-blocked the incoming slash.“What a fool!” some nobles commented quickly. “To be blocking such an attack with bare arms is like asking to get sliced apart.”However, though the attack struck Ulmer, all it did was leave a little bit of mark on Ulmer’s skin. And that mark also got healed soon.Ulmer landed back on the ground.“H-He’s fine after taking that attack?” many nobles looked astonished.“Of course, he’d be fine,” Rever commented. “That guy is a monster beyond imagination. You people haven’t seen anything of what he’s truly capable of.”Rever said these words not just because he lost to Ulmer but because even his dad was not sure if he could wi
Ulmer’s fist was supposed to strike Vincent’s cheek, but it hit an invisible barrier first.BAM~! CRACK~~!!Surges of electricity leaked and electrocuted Ulmer, repelling him back for almost fifty feet. Even the dirt was dispelled from that impact.Ulmer somersaulted and landed on his feet. “What the hell was that?” His skin got charred, and it hurt.“There it is!”“The Invisible Barrier System that only the royals take turns to possess!”“Yeah, nobody outside the Ten Lions can even hope to put a dent in that barrier.”“Since Prince Vincent has that barrier now, it basically means that the Knight Beater has already lost this fight.”As the people kept talking, Ulmer was about to hear their conversation and understood what was happening without Dove having to explicitly explain things to him. “Invisible Barrier System, huh…” he smirked. “I guess you can only hide behind some barrier and bark like a dog. I shouldn’t have expected too much from a royal who grew up experiencing all the lu
“That was rather dangerous,” Ulmer said. “What kind of system were you using this time?”“How did you survive that?” Vincent asked because he had seen with his own eyes. That attack crashed right on top of Ulmer and crushed him to the ground. How could he not be injured by it? “Do you also have some kind of a barrier system?”“Not quite,” Ulmer replied. “I don’t need barriers because I’m strong even without them.”Vincent took a breath and calmed down. (Don’t be upset. He’s just got some strange ability. I should find out what abilities he has so that I’ll get him with an appropriate attack the next time. For that, I need to first push him to use his abilities.)Vincent then scuttled forth.“Are you finally coming for a close combat?” Ulmer smiled. “Everybody in this country disappointed me when they got close enough, so I hope this is going to be fun.”“Don’t worry. I’ll show you death up close,” Vincent jumped, spun the sword in his hands so that they were held in reverse grip, then
“Vincent is your name, right?” Ulmer started walking forward. “You’re not half bad. You move well, and your battle experience is also good for someone your age.”“You talk like you lived much longer than me,” Vincent coldly uttered, “but I can tell from your appearance that you are young even though I can’t see your face.”“Well, wisdom doesn’t necessarily come with age,” Ulmer replied. “Some people who lived a hundred years won’t be able to learn things that some could learn before they even turn ten.”“So you’re saying that you fall in that second category.”“Actually, we both do,” Ulmer replied. “However, if you’re planning on marrying that young lady over there. Then you should give up on that idea.”Vincent frowned seriously as Ulmer just pointed at Brianna. “What do you mean? Are you interested in Princess Minerva?”Ulmer didn’t say anything, but his silence was understood differently by Vincent and Brianna.(He’s interested in me?) Brianna stood calmly, but her heart was feelin
“I didn’t come all this way to lose in the final round,” Ulmer said. “I will win this competition, and then… get the thing that the emperor promised he’d do. As for the princess… we’ll see what happens.”“You won’t be able to win this competition even in your dreams,” Vincent blurted.“Why would I dream about it when I know for certain that I am going to win it in reality?” Ulmer retorted. “Soon, you’ll also realize that. None of the participants can stop me even if they all come together.”Ulmer’s words made many people turn against him because it felt like he was disrespecting the other contestants that made it to the final round, and there were two royals in the final round. Naturally, many people did not like what Ulmer was spewing.“I alone am more than enough to destroy you from head to toe,” Vincent once again leaped high into the sky and cut through the clouds and sent them flying down in the shape of leaves that were rumbling and crackling with thunder and lightning. “Etherea
It was a sharp and unbearable pain. Most people would have stopped fighting, but Ulmer had the experience of fighting for decades before he came to this city of systems. He had suffered through many life-ending injuries, so losing an eye was nothing much compared to when he was swallowed by a hydra monster or when he got bitten by a giant crocodile monster.Ulmer’s instinctive response was not to cower in pain but to deliver a counter blow to his opponent.And Ulmer pulled his fist all the way to the back of his head before making it fly toward the opponent.“I can see it coming even with my eyes closed,” Vincent moved his body out of the way, but Ulmer’s fist changed direction midway and pounded his face, punching its way through the invisible barrier system and striking his nose.Vincent’s nose got crushed, and he was sent flying into the wall like a missile. The walls got completely destroyed, and Vincent entered the rest rooms that were under the audience stands.Ulmer stood tall,
Brianna wished that Vincent would deal with the Knight Beater so that she wouldn’t have to fight him. It wasn’t that she was afraid of him, but she didn’t want to reveal her abilities during this competition while everyone was watching.It would do her more harm than good, after all.Ulmer, on the other hand, was walking toward Vincent who raised his right hand high and created a giant silver blue spherical energy ball in which there was a lot of electrical energy swirling through it. The spherical energy looked like the moon itself because it had such a cool glow that was able to lit up the whole colosseum and miles of region all around.Despite the barrier put up by the royal knights, the audience could feel the chilling energy coming from this electrical sphere.“What is this energy?” Mirianne wrapped her arms around her chest because she felt very cold. “I’ve never seen anything like it.” She could feel the tips of her hair freezing. “It’s very dangerous.”“It must be the Moon Sys
Ulmer didn’t want to reveal his abilities as it might give away that he was the one who had caused trouble in many districts.Just by giving away the fact that he could create clones was risking it, so he didn’t want to do more.He wanted to save everything at least until he would fight the one he came to this country for.So, Ulmer very much wanted to defeat Vincent without using any of the great, active abilities he had earned through his clones. But he also could feel the immense power coming from this energy sphere that Vincent had created. What could Vincent possibly do with such a thing other than to cause a major explosion, Ulmer wondered.Just then, Vincent released glowing blue chains of lightning that flew toward Ulmer like living snakes.Ulmer jumped around and dodged from them as he moved all around the battle grounds. He purposely went toward the nobles. Hessia and Felix were able to dodge the chains, but many nobles couldn’t. They were caught in the mouths of these snake
