The mont Kendrick moved slower than he would have liked, Gloria used the silver substance that covered the surroundings to form rcury fists.
By attacking him directly, she made Hollie and Lily open their eyes wide and see that dealing with their stepmother was not going to be easy at all.
Minos enjoyed watching his wife put pressure on Kendrick. "She used well the trainings with all these years," he said, pleased.
But Kendrick's next move would not disappoint Minos. As impressive as Gloria was with her divine ability, it would be very difficult for her, two levels weaker than her opponent, to stay in a good state for long.
Kendrick didn't push himself too hard, but after a few seconds, using his indestructible body, he destroyed the solid rcury that was preventing him from moving and struck against the liquid rcury fist.
His hand shuddered from the shock of Gloria's attack. He felt as if his bones might break at any mont from such a powerful attack!
But he overca his stepmother's onslaught, withstanding the attack and destroying the silver fist.
Using his portals again, this ti Kendrick attacked even harder, using the aura of the Spatial Sword to create energy blades in the vacuum of space while blocking the red-haired woman's movent.
Gloria smiled subtly when she saw Kendrick would not go easy on her. After the initial mistake of underestimating her, he had changed, attacking with a higher level of power, but also on different fronts.
"Have you no sha in trying to manipulate your stepmother's mind, Kendrick? Showing your father's face won't help." Gloria closed her eyes, ignoring the apparent appearance of Minos at Kendrick's side against her.
"Anything can happen in battle, Aunt Gloria." Kendrick moved forward as the dark ring of the Devouring Art appeared around her.
He moved elusively to avoid being caught in the silvery liquid around. But just as he thought he had dodged the situation, drops of rcury flew like rain, reaching his body and penetrating his skin.
Kendrick felt the rcury poisoning take effect in his body as he saw Gloria's ultimate attack against him.
"If you can beat after that, I'll take my defeat, boy. Before that, I'm afraid you'll have to suffer a bit." She smiled, playing her role as stepmother to train Kendrick the way Minos wanted.
Kendrick roared in pain between his teeth, feeling more and more rcury gather around him, forming a silver bubble that tried to seal him in.
Fortunately, he had many thods, an advantage of having the blood of Minos and access to the sa techniques as his father.
In the middle of the rcury bubble trying to trap him, a golden sword of energy appeared before it sliced the silver bubble in half with a single movent.
'Divine Sword...' Hollie clenched her fists at the sight of Kendrick's supre weapon. It was a sword similar to Minos', but with slightly distinct movents and, of course, less offensive power.
Kendrick's supre weapon had a special power, Domain Destruction.
The mont it appeared, Gloria's rcury-silver world crumbled, while a sword aura threatening the red-haired woman.
Pointing his sword at Gloria, Kendrick didn't have to take the next step.
"The victory is yours, Kendrick." Gloria raised both hands in the air, having nothing left to push Kendrick against the wall.
If they were truly on the sa level, she knew she could defeat him. But with his innate skill, a fight on the 'sa' level would never be fair.
Minos stood up and broke the seals on both of their bodies, allowing Gloria to beco slightly stronger than Kendrick again, which honestly wouldn't have made any difference in this fight. Since he was already at level 108, only soone with a few levels stronger than him could counter his cultivation-stealing ability.
"Congratulations on your victory, Kendrick. Defeat your two sisters and I'll give you the Hydras' Amulet," Minos said to his son, pleased to see the current level Kendrick had reached.
But he was also happy to see Gloria in action. Even though she didn't have a skill that could strengthen her, the red-haired woman could fight against those of a higher level than her, sothing rare in Zocarro.
"You fought well. If the conditions of the fight had been less unfavorable for you, you would have won." He said as he hugged his beautiful red-haired wife and kissed Gloria's slender neck.
She smiled at him before looking toward Kendrick and Hollie. "I look forward to seeing he taste his own poison. But I won't make it easy for Hollie and him."
Minos liked what he heard. Although he had planned a tournant with only six fights to decide the winner, it was possible that three of the four competitors would get two wins each and so further rounds would be necessary.
For that to happen, Hollie would have to beat Kendrick and Lily, while Gloria would have to beat Hollie and Lily.
Minos just watched his daughters and wondered if Lily would let that happen and if Kendrick would lose to Hollie.
'I'm looking forward to the next matches, hehe.'
...
As the Stuart family began their next month of 'rest' between one match and another in their family tournant, things were heating for Armhands in the war against Firestone Mines!
At this mont, First Elder Juma was positioned in the heart of the enemy territory, hiding in a dangerous area of the central region even for high-level cultivators of the 12th stage.
From his current position, he could see the Firestone Mine headquarters, a magnificent black stone castle, where there were 26 mid-level and high-level Supres gathered at this very mont.
In addition to the most important elders of the Firestone Mines, the allied heads of the organizations involved in the current war were arriving at the black castle for a grand eting.
Juma was not alone, but his nearby n would not join his next move!
"Elder, the last of the enemy leaders has just arrived at the Black Domain," said a level 114 General, dressed in special attire. He had just returned from his observation post to alert his superior.
"Perfect. I'll take action soon. Give the signal for the alliance troops to start," said the old man as he clenched his fists, feeling the mont of his last dance approaching.
