The stadium was alive with tension. Olivia had just defeated Vivan with her bloodline ability and flawless holy path, shattering his legendary armor and forcing his surrender. The crowd was stunned, then erupted in applause.
Now the judge called forth Ace Petvan and Kannan Zevan.
Ace looked transformed—his stance martial, his aura monstrous. He was cloaked in advanced holy shield, bolstered by medicine from the Novan family, and clad in legendary armor gifted by the Vivan family. His presence radiated menace.
The Holy Eye whispered urgently, "Be careful. The Petvan family has allied with the other high holy potential families to finish you. Their combined resources are fueling Ace's strength."
The Battle Begins
The firework signaled the start. Ace attacked immediately, unleashing Holy Slash with sword and bow, his strikes precise and relentless.
Kannan raised his shield, absorbing the blows, but the pressure mounted. He asked inwardly, "Holy Eye, is it ready or not?"
The Holy Eye replied, "Hold for a few seconds more. The trump card is nearly prepared. Once unleashed, it will secure our victory."
Kannan's Strategy
Kannan steadied himself. Ace is stronger than Tear, bolstered by medicine and armor. My Gatling gun will not suffice here. I must endure until the trump card awakens.
Ace pressed harder, his aura flaring, each strike echoing with the combined might of the families. The spectators gasped at his ferocity.
But Kannan's eyes gleamed with confidence. They think I am cornered. They don't know I have already seen this battle in my old life. My cheat luck will guide me.
Thus, the duel between Ace and Kannan begins.
Ace embodies the combined power of the high holy potential families, while Kannan waits for his hidden trump card to awaken. The stadium holds its breath, knowing this clash will decide not only the round but the fate of the competition itself.
