Worthy of the descendants of heroic spirits, as Sistine completed her transformation, a mysterious layer of flame-like substance began to steam from her body, exuding an air of inviolable sacred majesty.
"This is... ha, interesting."
Feng Yi's gaze towards her opponent grew increasingly fervent.
'Impact.'
Sistine's lips parted slightly, gently uttering the secret language of the Titan Elves. As she spoke, her delicate figure transformed into a white rainbow across the clear sky; at this moment, even with a camera capturing the scene, only blurred traces could be seen.
Feng Yi's pupils contracted and expanded profoundly... so fast!
Boom!
A thunderous explosion echoed in the hearts of the spectators; people had yet to comprehend what had happened and only felt a buzzing in their brains, replaced by a scene of destruction—the original position of the Shadow Rider was shattered completely, forming a concave area over ten meters in length and width.
What level of destruction is this? Even a First-Order warrior would find it hard to unleash such a terrifying strike. Desperation arose as Sistine's attack speed was too fast to be caught by the naked eye—could the Revenge Shadow Rider really have... lost?
These were the emotions that arose instantaneously among the rational observers. Sistine was unlike any opponent the Shadow Rider had faced before; her power was evident to all.
Only Hans remained calm. Admittedly, the elf was potent, but the Revenge Shadow Rider was invincible!
Fortunately, the Shadow Rider was unharmed, standing thirty meters away from the crater, evidently unscathed, and the crowd finally relaxed. Through the use of slow-motion capture, it was revealed that Sistine's punch was narrowly evaded at the final moment by a risky backward leap.
'So perilous, so perilous; as expected, a King-level warrior is indeed exceptional.' At this moment, Feng Yi also secretly marveled at the incredible strength of the other race, thinking that had it been anyone else, they would likely have lost half their life.
"Hmph." A sudden cold snort, Sistine's lips curled into a gentle smile, both soft and disdainful, "Revenge Shadow Rider, do you think it's over? Second-stage impact."
After speaking, her beautiful eyes widened, and her body seemed to ignore inertia like an arrow leaving the bowstring, shooting straight towards the Revenge Shadow Rider without any acceleration mechanism; this thrust was swifter than before, and given the proximity between the two, the time for the Shadow Rider to react was almost non-existent.
Their positions rapidly shortened with lightning speed—twenty meters... ten meters... five meters... closer...
People could anticipate what was about to happen; it seemed impossible for the Revenge Shadow Rider to dodge such an attack. Human acceleration, after all, requires a buffering process, while the opponent's straight-line acceleration was an unknown mechanism.
But...
The Revenge Shadow Rider quickly sidestepped and leveraged the momentum of waist and knees, rapidly switching from forward to backward steps, swiftly launching the Flame Dual Slash.
"That move again, it's a pity; the same tactic won't work on me!" Such a distance is insufficient to strike the body, Sistine roared — she felt insulted, thinking she was belittled by being shown the same tactic twice by a proud royal warrior! Unfortunately, just as the Revenge Shadow Rider slashed downward, Sistine's thrust stopped in mid-air, then swiftly changed direction.
This...? Could the Flame Dual Slash miss its mark? No, impossible! This was absolutely unacceptable for humans, yet the Revenge Shadow Rider indeed executed the familiar action.
But in the next second, "Thunderbolt Blade."
At the moment the Revenge Shadow Rider softly uttered, the blade's front transformed into a crescent gleam, slashing through the air like a fan-shaped beam of moonlight, spreading expansively into the distance, instantly sinking into Sistine's body.
"What!"
Sistine attempted to evade, but it was already too late—she could only switch to a defensive stance at the last moment.
She never expected her plan to utilize the Revenge Shadow Rider's tactic for countermeasures would backfire; little did she know, while calculating her opponent, the opponent was also strategically countering her moves. Had she rushed in just now, the fight might have ended—but... in a fair duel, there are no "ifs." All that could be said was that their opponent was despicably cunning and detestable.
"Of course, it's like this..."
"Sky Shadow, what are you talking about?"
"Hmph, it certainly matches that guy's battle style. This battle is something to anticipate."
"Hey! Are you listening to me at all?"
"Shut up. I don't have time for your nonsense."
Swish boom...
At the same time, in the center of the battleground, Sistine's body was continuously torn by the fierce winds, shooting towards the ground like a bullet, unimaginable is the terrifying wind pressure accompanying the eruption of the Thunderbolt Blade.
As the dust settled... the fiery red exterior armor had visible cracks, particularly noticeable on the arms and knee joints; although embracing her limbs helped avoid critical damage, the joints bore the brunt of the Thunderbolt Blade's impact, blue blood dripped continuously from the wounds...
The Revenge Shadow Rider did not pursue further assaults—in a sense, enjoying the battle process was only partially fulfilling; Feng Yi also considered further enhancing the Titan Elves' perception of human warriors, provided it was possible.
At this moment, Sistine's willow brows knitted tightly; she could deeply feel the opponent's prowess—not limited to power itself, but the Shadow Rider possessed keen judgment, astonishing perception, and meticulous thinking, truly deserving of being the humans' top warrior.
But if they thought they could suppress her with merely this, they were looking down on Sistine too much. For royal honor, for the Titan Elves, for everything, she had no reason to fail.
With these thoughts, Sistine slowly stood tall, as if suddenly resolving on something, biting her thumb, letting the blood freely drip at her feet...
The blue blood inexplicably began to flicker with golden light.
"Great heroic spirits, immortal ancestors, grant me strength, assist me in this battle."
'That again?'
Watching the gradually radiant gold blood, Feng Yi's eyes narrowed into slits—it wasn't the first time he had faced such a formidable opponent, yet here it was again today.
"Ha!"
At this instant, Sistine unleashed a cry with all her might, resembling some form of ceremonial tribute; as her delicate figure rotated on the spot, seemingly, her appearance underwent another transformation.
If the previous change leaned towards an aura of menacing invulnerability, now, she resembled a sacred goddess radiating pure white light, her seven-colored wings unfurling, becoming the sole brilliance on the battlefield.
"Fourth War Goddess Chloe, has arrived!"
No! Unbelievable! This is simply a divine skill! Even Hans was astounded beyond imagination by the sudden change; if the Revenge Shadow Rider embodied a god representing dark forces, then, the goddess's proximity to being divine seemed not so distant.
Even the spear in Sistine's hand emitted seven-colored radiance.
On the other hand, within the Titan Elf clan, not a single sound was uttered among the tribe, including the queen; they all observed the unforgettable moment with utmost reverence.
Feng Yi was prepared for the fight.
Sistine simultaneously chose to strike, her whole body clearly flickered once, wings poised to fly, her spear danced as her figure vanished...
