Climbing through the Blood Arena Rankings, it didn't take long for Liora to reach ninety consecutive victories, fulfilling the requirements for a 9-Star Rating.
As she conveyed her intention for one more battle, a phantom emerged on the opposite side of the arena.
It was the Guardian of Rank 2.
Unlike the blonde man who had guarded the Rank 1 section, this time her opponent was a woman.
With long black hair, black eyes, and a piercing, icy gaze, she stared indifferently at Liora without saying a single word.
Her personality was completely different from the blonde man Liora had faced before her.
Much like Liora's own phantom, she was aloof, showing no intention of communicating with the challenger.
"Die!", she let out a low shout as soon as the countdown ended, giving neither instructions nor any guidance.
Following her battle cry, a blue spear made of ice materialized in her right hand.
