As he finished feeling the changes in his body while standing in front of Viktoria, Lothur felt all the fatigue in his being go away. At the same time, his forearms and hands lost the strange sensation from earlier, which was still bothering him, even considering his recovery.

Viktoria could see in her husband's gaze that his spirit had improved dramatically in a matter of seconds and felt relieved.

She was beginning to feel concerned for his well-being, slowly developing deeper feelings for this man who made her feel so good.

Lothur was handsome, good in bed, provocative, and talented. So how could she not begin to have feelings for him when she was doing so many things with him?

So, under the envious looks of many men in the Coliseum and some of those near them, Viktoria sat next to her husband, looking at him like a good wife concerned.

Lothur, on the other hand, judged the last advance to be enough for him not to go through the previous ordeal again and to remain competitive in this tournament.

But he had something on his mind after the match against that young man who had already been carried off the combat platform by doctors. 'What else can I generate resistance from? Ice is one possibility. But are there others?'

He could not think of anything now other than ice since that was the opposite of the flames he had just created a resistance against.

'Very well, I will try to find a way to awaken my ice resistance!'

Lothur was the type who preferred to be safe rather than sorry. So now that he knew he could awaken resistance, there was no reason not to try.

In the worst-case scenario, he would undergo painful training without the expected fruits. Then, at best, he would conquer his goals.

So there was not much to lose, and he naturally put that goal in his mind.

...

While the audience present in the Coliseum discussed Lothur, talking about theories about him, more battles took place.

In the round of 16 of the Province Conference, there were six matches, which soon developed, ending with the elimination of 6 of the 13 competitors in the finals of the individual warrior competition.

So it was not long before a draw took place, and Viktoria once again was the one to be left out of the matches, with her place guaranteed for the semifinal.

Competitors from the same family could not compete against each other unless it were the final, or there were no more competitors from other families able to compete.

Therefore, no one would try to force her and Lothur to meet on the combat platform, so the Frost family opponents did their best to keep her from fighting.

With that, soon the next matches were set, with Lothur again facing someone from the Frohberg family in this Sunday's finals.

Then the quarterfinals developed, with two of the three matches with the strongest competitor winning and Lothur's match being the only unusual one.

He won, reaching the semifinals after much difficulty, in a match in which he gained no resistance to anything. He just managed to use his above-average speed and defense to defeat his opponent after a close fight.

Finally, Viktoria would have to start fighting in this individual competition for warriors, with this event approaching its end.

...

"Viktoria Frost wins her match and moves on to the grand final of this warrior competition!" The match referee announced to the entire Coliseum as Viktoria calmly walked off the combat platform.

Her opponent was only one level below her, but that was enough for this woman to win without much difficulty.

That might sound boring, her beating the strongest of the competition easily. But such was life. From time to time, prodigies like her would emerge. Then what seemed very difficult to happen would happen, often even being somewhat trivialized.

But when they first appeared, they had their way clear, with few of the same generation to stop them, always surprising with their impressive performances.

As few among those tens of thousands of spectators had ever seen Viktoria in action, the Coliseum was festive with such a powerful display of power!

"Unbelievable! I didn't think the difference between geniuses could be so great!"

"It's tough to believe. She can easily dominate her opponents who in other times would be winners of this competition!"

"Tsk!"

"That bastard Lothur is fortunate! How can he have such a woman? It's so unfair!"

"I think it's normal. How would someone like him be with any other?" A young woman rebutted the comment of an envious individual.

"But isn't their relationship a fake?"

"Humph!"

"You think that's fake?" Someone asked as she pointed one of her hands toward where Lothur kissed Viktoria and again went to fight.

Unfortunately for young Ritter's fans, he would not get far this time, finally having been defeated in this competition in Peters City!

Lothur was not brutally defeated, nor did he end up much worse than his opponent. But in this fight, his opponent managed to keep his advantage and suffer less than him.

In the end, the referee committee of this match gave the victory in favor of the last competitor from the Waldauer family competing in this match.

Unfortunately for the Duke's family, even though that young man tried, he could not hurt Lothur as the patriarch wanted...

In any case, a victory was a victory, and that man did not feel so bad since this was another point for his organization.

As for Lothur, this young man was not down either, as he had the third-place match to give another point to the Frost family.

As for the prize, it would go to Viktoria anyway, so the result for him did not matter much in the end.

So it did not take long for Lothur to win the third-place match and Viktoria to defeat her opponent, becoming the winner of the competition for warriors!

With that, the Frost family solidified their position in 6th place, finally reaching a point where it was unlikely to change, either up or down.

[6th. Frost Family: 81]

The Koch family was ahead of them by a few points, but the hope of that organization reaching Anneke's house was slim. After all, Lothur's group was with one person less, and their opponents were as strong as possible.

In any case, everyone was already more than happy with this position, which would guarantee several benefits to this decaying organization.

So, with the individual matches over, the teams were soon in their places just before the start of the last part of the Province Conference!
