Newest core disciple? The two young n looked at each other before their eyes fell on RolRol and Asyna. Could it be?
Almost as if to confirm, Asyna stood, leaping over the curious core disciples and falling down like a teor onto the arena stage.
Seeing that their chance to gain Evangeline's favor had slipped away, the two core disciples could only accept their fate and sulk away.
"A mont." Lilith said, not allowing the judge to start the fight.
Instead, a small do appeared in her small, ice-like hands.
It floated downward gently before beginning to expand at an alarming rate. In a split second, the palm-sized do reached hundreds of ters across before crashing into the ground with a muffle boom.
"Since this isn't a spar, but rather a true battle between core disciple level characters, so extra precautions need to be taken." Lilith said with a smile.
Seeing this, the frown in Evangeline's heart deepened, but she didn't dare to show her true feelings outwardly.
With this do placed down, it was impossible for anyone to interfere at all. Even if one of their lives were in danger, the burden would be on Lilith to stop it… And sothing was telling Evangeline that Lilith's intentions weren't so pure.
Although others might fall for her words, she wouldn't. How could mbers of those quadrants even be comparable to their core disciples? They were so much further ahead of their younger generation that only so of their elders could defeat them with relative ease. To toss her out under the pretext of Asyna being the "easier" opponent, Lilith was full of shit!
Dyon, this entire ti, hadn't given Asyna a glance. Instead, he was intently studying the do he had just been trapped in.
Asyna wasn't too happy about this. Did he really think that she was just as easy of an opponent as those other opponents of his? However, she cald herself. What use was there being mad at a dead man? Plus, he was handso which made him easy to forgive in Asyna heart.
'Maybe I should refine him into a puppet after this… It would be too much of a sha if such a handso man was wiped from existence.' Asyna blushed slightly thinking about what it might an to have such a man as a puppet. By then, her heart had already cald.
"Aren't you going to tell where your Elvin Blood cos from?"
Dyon continued analyzing the do around him. "Why do I need to explain anything to you?"
"Hmph. You don't even have the awareness of a gentleman when you're speaking to a woman."
"I treat my wives just fine." Dyon spoke offhandedly. "Are you saying you deserve the sa treatnt I give them? I'd say you should probably take that up with them."
Those around were completely engrossed in Dyon and Asyna's conversation. Although the do had co down, it clearly didn't stop their words from coming out.
No one was surprised that soone on Dyon's level had wives despite being so young. Who wouldn't want to marry a Duke level character? Even the noble princesses of their quadrant would line up for miles at his door.
But, to see him treating such a beauty so coldly made them feel pain in their hearts. Although all of them were off-put by Asyna's murderous aura, they weren't blind.
That said, what truly shocked them were their talks about elves. Hadn't that legendary species gone extinct long ago? Why were they being talked about here? And furthermore, this Dyon character had their bloodline within him? What did that an?
Everyone knew that even the weakest of Elves were born with Earth level constitutions at a bare minimum, while those with ancient bloodlines would have Heaven level constitutions at the minimum. If Dyon really had an Elvin Bloodline, that would definitely explain his combat prowess… In fact, it would more than explain it!
By this point, the judge had said to begin long ago, yet neither of the two had moved. It was as though Asyna was studying Dyon who was, in turn, studying the do.
Asyna was clearly dissatisfied with Dyon's answer. This was the first ti a man had treated her this way. Although many avoided her, those that dared to talk to her would never be so disrespectful. "Even so, I'll have to insist you tell . I'm quite interested in what my fellow clansn have been up to."
"Fellow clansn?" Dyon finally turned a piercing gaze toward Asyna. "You still have the audacity to say sothing like that?"
Dyon had learned the story of the elves long ago. The short of it was that they utilized their legendary prophesying technique, sacrificing the life of the user, to see into the future and witness their own destruction. In order to survive, they sent all of their people away, but three of the ancient families stayed back because according to the prophecy, their race would be wiped out if they didn't.
In the end, only the dregs of the Acacia family escaped, allowing Ri and her father to eventually reawaken their bloodline much later. But, the Florence and Mathilde families completely disappeared from existence, leaving behind Universe Chaos, the supposed only uninhabited universe in existence and also the very sa universe that was adjacent to Dyon's ho land and the resting place of the Demon Sage's Legacy and daughter.
But, was that really true? Even if Dyon was beaten to death he would never agree that there wasn't so sort of conspiracy at hand.
Why? Because here stood a mber of the Mathilde family, clearly very much alive.
Asyna was stunned by Dyon's words. What was that supposed to an? She had not a single clue. It was clear that he was accusing her, or rather, her clan, of sothing. But, she didn't know what that could possibly be.
Seeing Asyna's reaction, Dyon didn't say anything more. His Perception had caught everything it needed to know that she knew nothing so there was no point in questioning her further. However, that didn't an that he didn't notice Lilith's eyes contract at his words. Even if Asyna knew nothing, this Lilith clearly did.
That said, none of this increased Dyon's impression of Asyna. Even if these petty tricks ant nothing in the face of his absolute strength, even the strongest man would be annoyed by a swarm of mosquitos. Just how much did they expect him to endure?
Seeing that talking wasn't getting her anywhere, Asyna slowly took her large, three pronged spear from her back before slamming it into the ground.
The arena floor shook violently, bursting with cracks that quickly spread along its surface as though it was nothing more than glass.
This one showing forced those watching to take in a breath. If they had been apprehensive about the strength of this young girl before, they no longer dared. Throughout all of these proceedings, the only one they had seen even remotely damage the arena tiles was Dyon during his group stage match. To see Asyna do it so easily damage thousands of square ters worth of these battle tested tiles truly shocked them.
It was only at this mont that they realized that they couldn't see through Asyna's cultivation. Just what did that an?
There was another thing. If Asyna was stabbing her weapon into the ground now, didn't that an that she intended to fight Dyon without it?! Arrogant!
Before this match began, no one thought that Dyon had a chance. However, after seeing who his opponent would be, many began to think that Lilith and Evangeline had coordinated their efforts to make it seem as though Dyon was fighting a tough opponent when the reality of the matter was this he was being let off easy. However, seeing this, how could they continue to think so. Even if soone told them that this young lady was even more powerful than the two core disciples that ca today, they might actually believe it!
Asyna charged forward, completely leaving her weapon beyond. Her speed and footwork made those who could see its intricacies sigh with admiration. Were these the core teachings of Soul Rending Peak? How profound.
Only those core disciples new well that these were no core teachings of their sect. They had seen them many tis and none were this profound. Just who was this young lady?
Dyon felt an odd pressure envelop him, as though an eye in the sky had locked down his position and could see his every movent.
'Divine sense!' Dyon's eyes narrowed. This girl was at most 19 years old yet had a celestial level soul? What the hell was going on?
