Stella didn't really understand the situation either.
The black-armored knight, who had been beating up the Puppet King just now, had suddenly attacked Drake, so she had also directly entered the battle.
Drake walked to Stella's side, saying, "So that makes it two-on-two!"
Stella clenched her fists, cracking her knuckles, saying loudly, I recognize you. You're the world's number four, right!
Although I don't know why you attacked Drake, that means you're already an enemy, right.
Saying this, Stella had already charged up, wielding Laevateinn to slash at Ascari.
Ascari had no intention of communicating at all, instead silently swinging her battle ax to meet Stella's gorgeous greatsword.
Although Laevateinn was a heavy sword, it was still inferior to the long-handled battle ax in terms of power.
But when the two weapons collided, it was Ascari who was sent flying.
This was of course because of the difference in the people wielding the weapons.
In a contest of strength, how could Ascari compare to Stella, who possessed the power of a dragon?
After knocking Ascari away, Stella directly crushed the ground under her feet, chasing after her.
The color inside Ascari's helmet was first flushed, because of the blood and Qi surging after clashing with Stella, then turning pale.
Perhaps this was retribution, retribution for her betraying her companions, betraying the Alliance, betraying justice to help her brother, who deserved to go to hell.
Many years ago, she had been controlled by her brother, massacring all of the residents of her hometown town, including her parents, in that church that she had returned to in countless nightmares.
These years, she had also been bearing the countless sins that had appeared because of the Puppet King, and becoming stronger with the resolve to defeat him.
But watching Drake about to kill the Puppet King, she had finally seen her true thoughts clearly.
She wanted to save her blood-related family! Perhaps this was a decision that couldn't be more wrong, but she had still chosen this path.
So she had already prepared herself, today might be the end of her life! She would die in battle here, exchanging her life for her brother's chance to escape.
As for what would happen to the Puppet King in the future, whether he would be hunted down by others, she was powerless to do anything about it.
But seeing Drake's battle, she also understood that her strength was too far apart from the other party.
Even if she really exchanged her life, it would be difficult to give the Puppet King a chance to escape. What made her even more despairing was that Drake wasn't alone.
Ascari could feel that this Crimson Princess, whom she had never met before, had definitely already undergone awakening, her power completely above her own.
Her ending had already been laid out in front of her, but she still wanted to try to struggle, allowing her brother to escape.
So she swung the battle ax in her hand, fighting Stella head-on.
Stella frowned, looking displeased.
In addition to the ax blade, the spear tip at the top of the ax head of the battle ax in Ascari's hand could also be used to exert power with piercing moves.
After clashing once, Ascari changed the trajectory of the battle ax with both hands, directly stabbing towards Stella.
Stella backhanded Laevateinn, inserting it down, the blade piercing into the space between the crescent blade and the spear tip of the battle ax, the handguard just locking the battle ax in place.
Raising her fist, Stella directly threw a punch.
Although Stella's Device was a sword, her fighting style didn't rely much on the Vermillion royal swordsmanship that she had learned.
At first, Stella had thought that her ability was an element interference type that controlled fire, so her moves were mostly ranged attacks that controlled flames.
Under Drake's guidance, after Stella had grasped her true ability, perhaps because of the violent factors flowing in the bloodline of dragons, Stella preferred to use her fists to show her power.
So the power of Stella's punch was quite terrifying, directly sending Ascari flying.
However, Stella didn't pursue, instead saying with a displeased expression, "Hey! What's wrong with you? You're even distracted during battle. Are you looking down on me?"
Although Stella was occasionally a bit muddled, her sharpness during battle was definitely not to be underestimated.
Ascari had long been prepared to die. Stella had felt that the other party lacked fighting spirit when they had just exchanged blows.
Ascari's ability was "Unbending," the effect of regeneration enhancement completely linked to the will in her heart.
Because of this, her strength had declined severely at this time, even the armor that represented invincibility being dented by Stella's punch.
Stella had long learned to respect all opponents in battle, but precisely because of this, she was so unhappy with Ascari's state.
Stella propped herself up with Laevateinn, saying loudly, "I don't know why you ran to the enemy's side, but since you made a decision, stick to it to the end! This appearance is really too unsightly!"
Ascari straightened her body, looking at Stella, remaining silent for a long time before finally saying her first sentence after jumping to the other side.
"You're really a kind girl! I was rude just now. It's really great to have met an opponent like you in the end!"
Stella was confused by Ascari's words, but she felt Ascari's firm fighting spirit, so she also smiled.
The gorgeous patterns on Laevateinn lit up, the blade seeming to become wider by a bit.
The greatsword and the battle ax collided once again, a loud bang echoing out, everything around the two being instantly cleared.
And what Drake felt was the vast magic power sweeping over.
Why this world regarded magic power as the most important quality of Blazers, being linked to fate was indeed one reason, but more importantly, magic power was extremely important in the Blazers' battles.
Magic power wasn't only the source of activating abilities, but also like Armament Haki from another world, it could be used as armor for defense, and also to amplify the power of attacks.
The two had attached a large amount of magic power to their weapons, which was why they had such powerful power.
Although after awakening into a Demon Person, magic power could be increased through training, Stella had possessed what was called the strongest magic power even before awakening, even exceeding a large number of Demon People.
In any case, Ascari's magic power was inferior to Stella's, so she was at a disadvantage in the head-on clash.
Ascari was being pressed back by Stella, the ground under her feet shattering. She took a step back, retracting her battle ax, drawing a crescent moon in the air, slashing towards Stella.
Ascari's ability destined her to be unable to use fancy moves, so she concentrated more of her energy on honing her martial skills.
This ax made the air wail, the vast magic power directly sealing off Stella's dodging space.
Stella didn't retreat, instead advancing, catching up to Ascari in one step. And her response to the oncoming battle ax was just to raise her palm.
As if a storm had been stirred up, the impact blowing away everything around Stella.
Ascari's surprise could be felt even through her armor, because her ax had been firmly grabbed by Stella.
And the hand that Stella had used to grab the ax blade had been covered with a layer of crimson scales at some point, and the place where it was touching the crescent blade was still emitting white air.
Stella grinned. Although she had caught this attack, it didn't seem so easy.
But at this time, the opportunity had been grasped in her hands. Stella directly slashed down with her sword.
Ascari retreated, clutching her chest, a large string of bloody droplets falling to the ground.
Drake frowned. Ascari's aura hadn't weakened after being injured. On the contrary, it had increased a lot.
Ascari's ability, regeneration enhancement, had been activated, not only recovering her injuries, but also enhancing her basic abilities.
It seemed that it wouldn't be so easy for Stella to defeat Ascari.
