Chapter 720 - Wishing For A Pair Of Extra Eyes

"I never thought I would battle someone who has merged with a Seelie." The young man standing opposite Alice said.

"If I may?" Alice didn't have the time for a conversation, she came here for a battle.

The man in charge of their platform had already announced the start of the battle and she was ready to fight.

The young man didn't take Alice's lack to engage in a conversation with him to be anything disrespectful. He nodded to her question and prepared himself for the battle.

Alice attacked with the lightning element, sending out a bolt of lightning.

The young man stood straight, and just when the attack was about to hit him, his figure vanished, appearing some distance away from Alice before attacking with a powerful lightning strike.

Boom!

The attack hit the ice wall that sprang out of the ground in front of Alice.

'A Dual Elementalist, and he has the space element as well.' She frowned when she saw this.

The young man the Faction sent out was a Dual Elementalist, well, so the thought from the first attack he made. This would make things difficult for her.

Space Elementalists are known to be terrible opponents to fight against, and it was most likely the plan of the Faction to send someone like him here so he could counter the Seelie's advantage.

The young man smiled when he saw that his attack didn't pass through, instead, the ice wall countered him as expected.

He dodged the attack quite easily, before attacking Alice once again.

Alice looked at her opponent and knew that she had to go all-out from the get-go. Luckily for her, she had been sparring with Grey and Void for a while now, so she had a fair share of experience when it came to tackling Space Elementalists. The first thing was to ensure she didn't give him the chance to build his momentum.

Swoosh! Bang! Boom!

The Seelie rushed out and attacked. This time, its speed was higher than before.

It was using the wind element to boost itself as it attacked with the ice element.

Alice was aiding it from behind as well, with both the wind and lightning elements combined, the speed of the Seelie increased exponentially.

The young man was slightly taken aback when he saw how Alice attacked. It was almost as if she wasn't wary of him being able to appear wherever he wanted on the platform.

He dodged the attack coming his way and countered. His counter was blocked by the ice wall, and he had to move in another direction to escape from the retaliation of the ice wall.

While he appeared in a new location, he was met with an attack from the Seelie which seemed to have been able to pinpoint where he would come out from the void.

He didn't feel pressured by this, with a calm expression, he blocked the attack. Since he was weaker than the Seelie, he naturally was forced a few steps back.

Alice attacked at this moment as well.

The young man blinked and appeared on the side. He moved his hand in a slashing motion, and to the shock of Alice, a powerful attack appeared from nowhere and her ice wall which was almost impenetrable was slashed in two.

Grey, who was watching, almost stood on his feet when he saw this attack. It was a space element attack. The young man just slashed the space where the ice wall was located. If not for the ice wall, Alice might've not been able to dodge such a fatal attack.

Of course, this attack had a flaw. The opponent could predict where it was going from the direction of the young man's hand and act accordingly.

Alice sensed the shocking power behind the previous attack of the young man, and even though she was confident in being able to dodge it, she honestly didn't want something like that to get close to her.

The Seelie tried to fix the ice wall while attacking the young man once again. Alice also joined in on the attack as well.

The synergy between Alice and the Seelie was top-notch, so it made things hard for the young man. Alice didn't want to give him the chance to use that attack any longer. But she also placed it in the back of her head that she had to prepare for any unforeseen events.

Space Elementalists weren't people to be taken lightly, especially those that have an array of powerful techniques on their hands.

Boom! Bam! Bang!

The fight continued intensely.

The audience was watching the battle with all seriousness.

"You really sent him out, how evil." An old man from one of the top lightning Factions said to the Elder of the Asterope Faction.

"Of course, he's the only one who can deal with the Seelie easily. And as you can see, even he isn't having an easy time." The Elder from the Asterope Faction replied.

"What do you think of the girl?" Another Elder from the Asterope Faction asked.

"Honestly, not bad. She lacks powerful techniques, that's all. It's the same with her friend there, he might be powerful, but it's obvious he lacks a technique on our Faction's level." The Elder said as he glanced at Reynolds' battle with the young man.

"They will grow to be powerful figures in the years to come." An old voice muttered.

Grey and Klaus were torn between which battle to focus on. They had been moving their heads left and right since both battles began.

When they first realized that Alice's opponent was a Space Elementalist, they were surprised. But before they could even watch the battle for a minute, something would happen on the other platform that would draw their attention away.

"Damn! I wish I had two extra eyes." Klaus said while rubbing his neck which he felt had started to ache from moving from side to side too often in such a short time.

"Me too." Grey said.

Kyle was the only one who focused more on Alice's battle. He would occasionally take a glance at Reynolds' battle as well.
