Chapter 728 - Overpowered!

"I don't know why I accepted that weird old man's proposal…"
Manationia stood there in the arena, watching the entire place there was a red-feathered guy right in front of her holding a red and black spear with his tentacles. He looked like he was insane, laughing at her.
"Geheheh, little girl, why did you get in here? You'll get killed! Forfeit now if you don't want me to stabby stab you!" he said. His beak was red and black, and he seemed to be a psycho.
"Ugh…" Manationia sighed.
The man was holding a spear that was infused with magic, although he wasn't even that talented himself, she could barely feel any mana from him, which his spear constantly drained from him.
"Is that a cursed weapon?" she wondered.
Cursed weapons were special weapons that were infused with Curse Spells and other magics that damaged the wielder but were of incredibly strength compared to other magic weapons. The majority had been found in Crypts, which are the ancient temples and ruins of the civilization of Erveronians.
However, there are also artificial ones made by Singers proficient in Curse or Dark Magic. Some of these are mass produced using other artifacts, and very so often these mass-produced cursed weapons shatter very easily and don't last long, while still putting in danger their enemy.
"Gyehehehe!"
The man suddenly laughed as the battle started, the people all around the arena, which was built over an ancient arena made by Erveronians cheered, the guy Manationia was fighting in her first fight was a well-known participant of this place that enjoyed bloodshed and to stab his enemies in the stomach simply named Blood.
"Come on Blood, slay her!"
"I bid a lot of money, so you better bring me the money!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The people was rather bloodthirsty today, Manationia was shocked, as she had never seen such a facet of society where they were all rooting for her to just get killed so they can earn money from their bids…
"You're all really just trash!" she said, as Blood reached her with his spear.
"Gyehehe! Die! Triple Crimson Stab!"
Blood utilized a powerful Spear Technique, as his spear unleashed a bright crimson-red aura from within, he attacked three times towards Manationia, each attack was enough to pierce her body and leave bloody holes!
She would die if she takes them!
However!
She suddenly sang a beautiful song that combined many songs at the same time, and in an instant, a barrier of multiple colors was erected before her!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
The three piercing attacks clashed against the barrier, leaving Blood speechless!
"W-What…?! That's not possible! What kind of song…?!" he said.
The rest of the spectators were also left speechless as they saw the amazing performance of Manationia! Her power was incredible! She had combined multiple elemental sings together to make up this rainbow barrier!
"Its useless, give it up." She said.
"Huh?! Y-You damn rich kid! I bet you're from an aristocrat family! Well, I am not going to give up! That barrier will be broken and I'll butcher you alive!" roared Blood, clashing against the barrier but Manationia sighed.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
…
…
…
CLASH…!
"Hahh… W-Why?!"
Manationia looked at the man with an expressionless face.
Blood was tired, and speechless. His spear was not able to pierce through her powerful barrier… and even more, it showed cracks.
"GRAAA!"
CLASH!
CRACK…!
BOOM!
The spear suddenly exploded into pieces, as Blood was left without any weapon.
"E-Eeeh?! No! My cursed spear! It cost a fortune!" he cried.
"If it broke then that's not an authentic one…" sighed Manationia
"AGH! W-What do you know?! I'll pay a new one after I massacre youuu!" Blood jumped over the barrier and tried to tear it apart with his beak and claws.
"Thunder~"
Manationia sang the element of thunder as the sky got all dark out of the sudden, a large black cloud emerged atop the skies, everyone looked at it with horror…
"Maybe I went a bit too far?" she wondered.
Spark… spark!
Blood looked atop his head, his eyes were being filled with pure horror.
TRUUUUMMM!!!
A massive thunderbolt fell over his entire body, his scream of agony was he was grilled alive resonated across the entire arena, he was more than dead now!
"GRYYYYYAAAAAHHH…!"
Bump!
His corpse, which was fried alive, fell over the floor.
Everyone felt utterly terrified, as they looked dumbfounded at the scene.
"Ugh… D-Did I just killed him? Ahh… Revive."
Manationia then conjured a healing song. Blood's soul had yet to leave his body, so when his body healed to full, he literally just revived.
"Ahh…! Eh? Ah… Huh?! What…" muttered Blood, looking at everything in confusion.
"S-She just killed him and revived him?!"
"It can't be… she really just did that…"
"Incredible…"
"No, this is rather surprising!"
"How…?!"
"Wait, Blood lost!"
"Fuck! That bastards owns me so much!"
"Would had been better if he got killed then…"
The same man that invited Manationia looked down at the fight with a smile.
"She's a talented girl… Indeed… things had begun to change around Yggdrann… Perhaps someone capable of delving into the deeper floors of the Labyrinth has finally showed up." He thought.
"I feel like you've been looking for her for a while…" said another figure behind him.
"Ah, so you're here as well… Hm, it would be better if you went away from me to be honest." He sighed.
"Eh? What with that insolence, you filthy bird?!" asked the figure.
"…" The man ignored the figure as the two looked down at Manationia.
Manationia sighed in relief, as she walked back and then was paid her win… she earned a whopping 200 gold coins by winning this match against Blood, with this she had more than enough to pay her rent and the damage she did in the Inn!
However, the entrance fee for the Singer Academy was… one thousand coins.
"Ugh, it's gonna take a while before I get enough coins…" she sighed.
Meanwhile, above all of this, within the heavens themselves, several figures floated in midair while looking down, this included Veronica and Ervas.
"Oh wow, Manationia got way stronger than we thought…" said Ervas.
"Yeah! She's totally broken." Said Veronica.
"You've disturbed the peace of these people by giving so much power to someone!" roared Yggdrasil in anger.
