During the fight between Liang and Nitra, many events happened that revealed their true strength. This was logical since the stronger a person was, the less he wanted to use his maximum strength, especially if one believed that there was no reason for it.
If Fifth Chronicle Creature was attacked by Fourth Chronicle One, even if there were many of them, Fifth Chronicle One would never use his trump cards or the Form to do so. There was no need to, as a few attacks were enough to win.
Nitra realized that Liang was one of the strongest, but even so, it was impossible to use everything she had at once. It was simply illogical and stupid.
If she used all her trump cards at once, she would lose the initiative and too much energy. Liang would just be able to use her trump cards a little later and win the battle of attrition.
However, there was something wrong with this fight.
Nitra tried to force Liang to use his trump cards, she tried to hurt him somehow and used different approaches and techniques, but it was all pointless.
When Nitra turned the entire desert into an endless field of lightning, Liang simply turned them into nothing with his aura. When, he showed his weapon, a spear made from the remains of the Burnt Tree, it didn't change the course of their battle.
Sure, Liang showed his sword and Spirit, but, it couldn't be called trump cards or something unique at all. In fact, his sword and Spirit were not some unusual enhancement, he was just using the true form of his equipment.
His sword had always been like this, and the outer sheath was a scabbard, just like the sun mark covering his Spirit. In fact, it only meant that, only towards the middle of the fight, Liang began to take Nitra seriously and decided to pull the sword out of the scabbard, even though he hadn't seen the need to do so before.
If Nitra and Liang had been knights and fought according to the rules, Nitra would have been humiliated that her opponent halfway through the fight didn't even bear his sword.
So, she needed something else, she wanted to use her Form, but suddenly things didn't go according to plan. Liang almost didn't kill her, but the black crystal was able to save her and almost allow her to be reborn.
Nitra tried not to show it, but she was sure that now Liang was weaker than her and he would have to use his Form to become her equal. In that case, she would definitely win because she would wait for the right moment and use the Form.
However, even so, she was unable to accomplish anything. Having received several enhancements, and having been reborn at death's doorstep, she was still weak.
Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.
A blunt, rough, cracked blade sliced through Nitra's flesh. Dark blood gushed out, as a few drops fell onto Liang's cold face.
His attribute was wind, yet he was able to turn Nitra into an ice statue, and her reflective barriers didn't help her. For her, the outcome was one critical wound.
"You are pathetic. You're not worthy of being considered the strongest, even if only in your world." Liang arrogantly said, looking at Nitra's wide-open eyes that were quickly filling with fear.
Bam.
The impact, caused a powerful shockwave that threw Nitra back down like a projectile. Her back reached the ground, as the dense ice layer shattered into small shards.
"Agh...!" Nitra yelped in pain, spurting out a mouthful of blood.
"Looks like I was right, and simple ice is quite enough for you." Liang said calmly as a scarlet aura enveloped his body, and he swooped down on Nitra with tremendous speed.
Nitra's pupils narrowed as she quickly came to her senses. If Liang's sword reached her now, it could be the end for her. She couldn't let that happen and lose so quickly!
Whooooooooooooooooooosh.
Nitra's body turned into a flash of black lightning as she instantly appeared hundreds of meters away. Then, Liang's sword plunged into the ground, raising waves of ash and soot.
"Well, well, running away again. Is this really all you can do?" Liang uttered, resting his sword on his shoulder.
Nitra frowned as she swung her hand, "Do you really think I'll fall for this again? After that attack, you won't be able to do any more damage to me! This was your last chance!"
When Nitra said that, the guardians watching the fight had smiles on their faces.
"Yeah, Mrs. Nitra is right! Even if he can create that kind of frost breath a few more times, it's pointless!" The Guardian exclaimed happily.
He was surprised at what abilities Nitra had gotten, but it was good for them. Liang was a very dangerous opponent, especially because of his abnormal power, as a few successful attacks could end a fight even at such a high level.
Everyone understood this, and now, Nitra could dodge them without difficulty.
"Hah, they actually think this will help her." Wain smirked, looking at Liang.
"What...? What are you talking about?" Marlis turned around, and she gave him a puzzled look.
"Liang is smart and experienced enough to quickly realize what Nitra's new skills have weaknesses. Do you really think he's going to let her continue to evade his attacks so easily?" Wain grinned.
Marlis tilted her head, "You seem to have completely stopped thinking rationally...Well, it's not surprising, that you and Liang are quite similar. He won't be able to hit her with his frosty breath ever again, that's for sure."
Wain lifted his chin throwing Marlis a mocking look, "Aren't you supposed to be the smartest one here? Where's your smarts? I haven't seen those memories, but I already understand what Liang is going to do."
Marlis frowned. Wain was right, although she realized that she was not the strongest among them, she was sure that her intelligence was the highest. However, right now it was a mystery to her what Liang was going to do, and it annoyed her.
'Shit! Why do I feel like the longer this fight goes on, the less I understand?! Is it really all about experience...? Marlis muttered internally, looking around until she stopped at Sven.
He had been silent for a long time, staring intently at the fight. There was a sly smirk on his face, and like Wain, he was genuinely enjoying the way Liang was ruining all of Nitra's plans and attempts to win. It was the best show for them.
"Oh... You really think so, right?" Liang muttered, looking at Nitra, from top to bottom, "Well, in that case, I'll show you that you can't escape me. This place will become a grave for you. I will bury you next to the burned Tree."
Nitra grimaced great grimace as she was about to attack in anger, but, no sooner had she done anything than Liang bent down.
Then, he jumped high up, as far as it was even possible, disappearing behind the thick clouds.
"Agh...? What's going on?" Marlis was puzzled.
For a while, Liang seemed to have disappeared from the battlefield or even escaped, although everyone realized that Liang would never do something like that.
Then, everyone noticed something strange, the sky changed slightly, as if it had started to move, but it was actually distorted due to the wind currents that were heading towards one point.
"Hmm? Does he think I'm afraid of his wind? Hah, how arrogant!" Nitra exclaimed as the tree seal on her palm shone brightly.
A long spear appeared in her hand, but it was different from the past. This one consisted of pure energy of darkness and lightning, as sometimes electric shocks ran through the spear.
Nitra got into a fighting stance about to take Liang's attack and created several layers of reflective barriers around herself. Whatever he did, it couldn't affect her. At least she thought so.
Whoooooooooooooooooooosh.
ραΠdαsΝοvεl ƈοm Suddenly, a mighty torrent of wind tore the clouds apart, quickly approaching the ground. In fact, it was a huge tornado, just very wide, to create something like this, even Liang had to expend a lot of energy.
"Hah, be prepared to receive your wind in return." Nitra smirked as she pointed her spear forward, sealing her reflective barriers.
Then, the smirk disappeared from her face as she realized that Liang's mouth was closed and his cheeks were puffed up.
'No way...' The thought raced through Nitra's mind.
Whooooooooooosh.
Liang's second vortex once again started spinning in the opposite direction as he exhaled, creating a blizzard that was several times more powerful than the previous one.
The frost quickly combined with the wind, turning into a huge tornado that easily covered the entire Zero Area.
When the frosty wind reached the ground, along with the snowflakes, ice particles appeared, quickly freezing the entire surface of the Zero Area.
A thick layer of ice covered everything, and only the ground beneath Nitra remained untouched due to her barriers.
However, the cold enveloped her from all sides, and now frost was everywhere she stepped.
"Shit... How could I not have thought of that..." Marlis's eyes went wide when she realized how simple yet incredibly complicated everything was at the same time. But, not for Liang.
