Chapter 215: The Rabbit’s Trick, The Demon’s Strength

The lizardkin's movements were incredibly quick. In an instant, he crossed half of the distance separating him from his opponent.

Rana put on a serious expression. With a wave of her hand, her wand lit up and produced a spell.

"[Mana Arrows]!"

Tens of magic circles appeared behind Rana, creating a rain of arrows that rained on the lizardkin!

The lizardkin kept his stern expression. Seeing the arrows descending towards him, he grunted and formed a circle with his spear.

Instantly, mana surged out of his body and formed a circle around him

And as though stopped by a strange force, the mana arrows froze in the air eerily!

When Rana and the spectators were still dumbfounded by the strange situation, the lizardkin waved his spear away, making the mana arrow fly in a completely different direction.

"That is!"

"Territory!"

"Impossible!"

Several of the expecting beastmen stood up in surprise. Unable to believe the technique the lizardkin used.

Territory. Sometimes called Domain.

Using mana to demarcate a zone around you as your home ground. It was a technique sometimes used by demigods.

Although the lizardkin's use of it was very crude. It was a fact that he used a territory. Moreover, he managed to use the territory to stop and afterward change the course of the mana arrows!

Even Rana seemed taken aback by that technique. She never thought her spell could be defeated so easily.

For a brief instant, a flash of panic appeared on her face.

The lizardkin did not waste that opportunity. Kicking the ground, he increased his speed, appearing in front of the rabbitkin girl.

Rana hurriedly cast a shield in front of her and jumped back, trying to gain time to cast a new attack spell.

But then, the lizardkin's spear lit up, tearing through the barrier and stabbing Rana's body.

To his surprise, though, Rana suddenly smiled.

Then, her body faded out, as though it was an illusion.

The lizardkin instantly realized that something was wrong. He hurriedly tried to jump away to evade Rana's counterattack, but it was too late.

In an instant, several magic circles appeared around him, then, chains of mana surged out of the magic circles, entangling his body.

At the same time, the gravity around him increased in intensity, and the mana in the surroundings was disrupted.

Although the lizardkin tried to retaliate using his spear, that was not enough to escape from Rana's carefully crafted trap.

Less than two seconds later, he lay on the ground, with his body wrapped by several chains, unable to move.

While the spectators were still stunned by the sudden change, the figure of Rana appeared from a place where there was nothing just an instant ago.

Then, she spoke to the referee.

"Is it enough?"

The referee stared at Rana deeply for a few seconds before smiling.

"Well done. It's your victory."

"Yay~!" Rana jumped excitedly and waved to Bloed and the others innocently.

However, nobody dared to underestimate that innocent smile.

Even Bloed and Liu Ying were looking at her with serious expressions.

To be honest, when Bloed saw the lizardkin's territory, he thought Rana would have a bit of trouble defeating him. Even Bloed himself would have needed a bit of time to defeat that kind of technique.

Rana, though, she ended the battle swiftly.

Even although she used a trick to do that, her strength and wits were undeniable.

"As expected of one of the geniuses of Moonlight Glow, huh." Bloed could not help but say.

Liu Ying beside him nodded.

Rana soon returned to her seat. Simultaneously, Liu Ying stood up and looked at Bloed.

"It's my turn. Wish me luck."

"Good luck." Bloed smiled.

But Liu Ying did not move away. Instead, she looked at him with an anticipating expression.

Bloed smiled wryly aware of Liu Ying's intention. However, now that he decided to accept her as his girlfriend, he did not mind giving her this little incentive.

Thus, standing up, he pecked on her lips softly.

Liu Ying blushed and grinned foolishly. She then turned around and walked towards the arena with an aura as though she could destroy the world.

'This girl...' Bloed shook his head wryly.

... Also, he did his best to ignore the piercing gaze stabbing his back.

He needed to start thinking in a way to please Regina later.

Liu Ying's opponent was a kind of horned beastman girl. Bloed was not sure about her specific race, but when he asked Eve, she told him she was a goatkin.

The goatkin girl was wearing revealing clothes, with a blade hanging from her right hand and a quiver of arrows plus a bow in her back.

When she saw Liu Ying, the goatskin girl's eyes shone with fighting intent.

Liu Ying just smiled and clenched her fist. She then waited for the referee's signal.

And as soon as she heard the word 'start', Liu Ying moved.

Her muscles tensed up like a spring, erupting with an incredible strength that sent her flying directly towards the goatkin girl!

Then, Liu Ying threw a mana-filled punch.

The goatskin girl did not fall behind. Her two hands grabbed her blade and swung it downwards with a mountain-like aura that seemed to crush everything in front of her.

The next second

*BOOOMMM!!!*

The punch and the blade clashed.

It was a clash of power against power, relying solely on brute strength to determine the winner.

It was obvious both girls were confident in their physical strength!

However, relying on pure strength to defeat the girl that was once the princess of the demon empire was suicide.

Mainly because Liu Ying's aspect, the Chaos Titan, was widely accepted like the strongest when it came to physical strength.

And in the next instant, the reason behind that was shown to all the spectators.

When the goatkin girl's blade and Liu Ying's fist clashed, the stalemate did not last more than an instant.

As soon as she felt Liu Ying's overwhelming strength, the goatskin girl's expression changed. She instantly realized that using strength against Liu Ying was a mistake.

But it was too late.

Under Liu Ying's overwhelming strength, his body involuntarily took two steps backward, making the goatskin girl lose her balance and creating an opening in her defense.

Liu Ying's eyes glinted. Without hesitation, she clenched her other fist and threw a punch to the goatkin girl's abdomen.

"Gah!" Vomiting a mouthful of blood, the goatskin girl flew away, rolling for several meters and finally stopping completely unconscious.

The winner had been decided even faster than in the last battle.
