Chapter 410: Letizia
410 Letizia
Letizia released her Sword Domain. It was only a pitiful 40 meter Sword Domain as her cultivation progress was too fast while her sword could not keep up with that progress. After all, she did not have something like Alex's Sword Mastery. Still, she did not care about that as in this match, she was planning to suppress the Mount Hua Sect with her element.
She was told to keep her element in secret from childhood, and she always kept the promise. In this tournament, she had asked whether she could release her element fully or not, and the answer she got was 'Up to you.' Hearing this, Letizia did hold it back anymore.
The cold energy started filling the arena, and even Mahiir felt a bit numb when the cold air pierced his skin.
At this moment, Alex was surprised. Judging from this, she was going to reveal her Pure Ice Element. If others knew about this, they might come for her Sacrificial Ice Element. This could be bad, he thought, as he was still thinking about giving her Sacrificial Ice Element to Alicia.
[Don't worry, Host. Alicia already has something that won't lose to the like of Sacrificial Ice Element.]
His body shook a bit because he was startled by the sudden notification. "Something that won't lose to Sacrificial Ice Element? What is it?"
[You will know about it later when Alicia says it herself, so I won't give you spoilers.]
"..." Alex twitched his eyebrows because he was concerned about this, but seeing the system would not tell him, irritated him a bit. He sighed. "So, I don't need to worry about Alicia, right?"
[Yes. That girl can use her Pure Ice Element however she wants at her own risk. She might get captured for her Sacrificial Element in the future when she steps on the Northern Continent. Begone Thot…]
[This message was deleted.]
In an instant, the last message suddenly changed into a [This message was deleted.]. Still, Alex did not miss that last word. "Do my eyes play me since I feel like I saw you were saying thot?"
[Your eyes must be playing you, Host.]
"Then, can you show me the message again? I need to check it. I know you must have something like a log or something since I can only see [This message was deleted.]
[She has given her full loyalty to you, Host. Because of that oath, she would always prioritize you before making the decision. And each person would have a thought of their own, and with that, she must think this is the best choice even if you think this is not the best choice. She might just want to increase your prestige or something.]
"Yeah. I know that. But don't change the topic!"
A few seconds and the system still did not appear. "Oi… Don't run away. I just want to see that message, and that's all."
Even after calling the system for a while, he did not get any replies. He murmured, "Why do people around me become this troublesome? Even if I try to pretend I don't know her, I might also get dragged into the mess, right?"
He sighed. Well, he could not berate her too since even Anna and Anya often did something like this. He knew it was only for him, and that made him a bit guilty to reprimand them unless it might cause irreplaceable damage.
He knew this might be risky, but he did not know whether the information would be carried away to another or not. After all, he just thought, the information might pass from someone in this arena to another continent if they tried to visit them. Maybe from a merchant or something. Or this might only be his wild imagination.
As for the only person who came from another continent, Honda Sana, he might just need to warn her by relying on the prestige of his master. At least, it would give her enough time to get a 'roof.'
After thinking of that, he decided to observe the match without thinking about that complicated stuff.
"Match Start!"
Mahiir immediately charged toward Letizia as he knew this cold energy was dangerous. Even the fire inside of him was getting suppressed a bit. He was an Alchemist, so obviously, his weapon was his fire. If that got suppressed, he would lose this battle even though he had a cultivation stage advantage.
Letizia immediately fully released the cold energy in the arena. Even with the barrier completely blocking the chilly atmosphere, the people could feel the bone-chilling cold radiated from the barrier wall.
"Deep Frozen Ice Technique. Ice Phoenix."
"Soaring Fire, Leguma."
Letizia's first move was the technique she used the first time she met Alex. A big Ice Phoenix suddenly flew toward Mahiir, trying to swallow him as a whole.
Seeing this, Mahiir also released his Fire Element Art. His fist was covered with fire, and he made a circle with both of his hands. It was quite a large circle with the diameter of his full wingspan, which was around one and a half meters in diameter.
He then punched his fist that was covered with fire through the circle. Just like an amplifier, the moment he punched it, the fire on his fist suddenly burst out, trying to engulf the Ice Phoenix.
The Ice Phoenix was burned by the mighty fire… At least that was what they thought. Only Mahiir, who used the fire, suddenly felt something wrong.
"!!!" He was sure that the fire was engulfed by his fire, but he did not feel the heat of his fire inside his technique. Instead, what he felt was insanely cold air. It was at this moment, he knew the fire did not do anything against her Ice Phoenix. He immediately canceled his attack and jumped backward.
"Hmph!" Letizia harrumphed. There was no way that Mahiir's puny fire would be able to fight her Ice Element. If Alex was the one who fought him, Alex could completely suppress him with his Pure Fire. In fact, Mahiir might only be able to kneel in front of him.
That was why this Pure Element was sought after by all people. Albeit, Letizia was also a bit surprised by her Awakened Pure Ice Element. Because she did not use her Pure Ice that often, she was a bit clueless at the extent of her Pure Ice Element.
This was the first time he felt this... The feeling of dread against someone's element. No, it was not from his heart, but from his element. It was telling him to run.
As soon as he retreated, he saw the Phoenix suddenly appear from his flame, leaving the original flame frozen. The phoenix tried to bite him. He immediately escaped to the side, making the phoenix crash to the wall.
"Boom!"
"!!!" Mahiir looked at the wall and was shocked to see the wall immediately froze. No, the most shocking thing was when he saw his fire got frozen by the phoenix.
"What the hell with your Ice?" He gritted his teeth while looking at Letizia.
Letizia did not pay any heed to his rumbling and continued to attack him. She raised her sword high before cold energy surrounded her Sword. She wanted to end this fight before Mahiir could figure out her element.
"Ice of Infinity."
She then swung her sword down, sending the Cold Energy to half of the arena. The floor was frozen, and the air filled with bone-chilling cold. Mahiir looked at her with a complicated expression. He clasped his hands at her before touching the ground with his palms.
"Blazing Inferno." The fire started burning the ice around his palm before spreading to the surrounding area. Sadly, it was futile because as soon as it spread, the ice gradually became smaller and smaller before it completely disappeared.
Not only that, but Mahiir also felt the fire in his body somehow got restricted by this ice, like blood suddenly clogged up and made it hard for him to channel his Fire Energy to use a Fire Element Art.
Letizia used one of the Mid Heaven Tier Ice Element Art. Although this technique did not have any extraordinary damage like Heavenly Sword Sect's Seven Stars Cut despite having a higher rank, this technique was more like Charya's Lightning Element Art.
The technique would build a domain for the user to restrict his/her opponent with the cold before eventually freezing their entire blood, element, and heart. Letizia was perfect for this Element Art as this technique required a powerful Ice. With her Pure Ice Element, there should be nothing she could not freeze, except Pure Element.
Mahiir immediately covered his body with fire, albeit he still felt the coldness piercing his skin. Although it was not effective, at the very least, it was able to slow down the freezing speed. He glared at Letizia, wanting to kill her as soon as possible. 'This woman is dangerous!'
At first, he wanted to make her suffer first before killing her in front of the people. However, because of the sudden turn of events, he was forced to end this fight as soon as possible. He had yet to identify her ice too.
As long as he could get close to her, his fire would be able to hurt her heavily. "Haa!"
Letizia knew his intention as well. She thrust her sword to the ground.
"Iceberg Formation." Many ice walls suddenly rose from the ground. The ice wall was not that big as it was only around three meters high and one meter wide. But it rose in many places, hiding Letizia from Mahiir's ice.
Letizia knew she might not be able to beat him in close combat, so she decided to buy time. She just wanted two or three minutes, so the Element and Blood started freezing. At that time, his movement would also become sluggish, and she could win the fight.
"Soaring Fire, Leguma."
Mahiir punched again as fire started soaring from his hand, trying to burn the ice walls. But, his fire was not that effective because of this environment as he could only destroy two walls with that attack.
Letizia leisurely hid behind one of the walls while waiting for him to be frozen.
Seeing that he could not force it through, he immediately avoided the Ice Wall and passed it from above.
Letizia smirked. This was according to her plan. She waved her hands a few times before an Ice Tornado slowly grew in the middle of the arena.
"Heaven Freezing Tornado." This was the other Mid Heaven Tier Martial Art she got from Zwaka.
"Not good!" Mahiir immediately sweatdropped when he saw this tornado. If the tornado hit him, he would be frozen by it, and even his flame could not help him.
He stretched his hands to the front, wanting to make an explosion so he could stop his momentum.
"Blaze Explosion!"
The fire lit up on his hand, but because he was almost hit by the tornado, the flame immediately froze. This was the power of Mid Heaven Tier Ice Element Art with a Pure Ice Element.
"!!!" Mahiir lost the last hope to stop from being engulfed by the tornado and went through the tornado without any protection as his flame that covered his body earlier had been frozen.
The moment he passed the tornado, he already became a frozen statue. He fell in front of Letizia. Even though he was frozen, his consciousness was still there. It was at this moment he knew he fucked up.
Letizia looked at the frozen Mahiir with contempt. "Kill me? You are not qualified."
She raised her foot, wanting to stomp him into pieces. Mahiir was scared out of his life. He wanted to say 'Don't kill me' but to no avail.
Ultimately, Letizia broke the frozen Mahiir's like breaking a frozen statue, thus killing him. He was shattered everywhere as the people could see his head, arms, body, and so on in many pieces. Luckily, he was frozen, if not, there would be a pool of blood in front of Letizia.
"Next!"
