Everyone watched this scene blankly, filled with disbelief. This person was too terrifying; if one were struck by a sword capable of cleaving stars, would there be any chance of survival?
Chine had already sensed who was attacking. As a practitioner of the Way of the Sword, her perception was top-tier. Her figure instantly appeared before the dozens of giant trees created by Azuma.
"I can cut down the trees of an entire island; do you think I can't cut down yours?"
As her voice fell, a sliver of sword light flashed, and all the trees were turned into neat fragments.
Azuma and Zancrow lay on the ground covered in sword gashes. Although they still had the strength to resist, there was no longer any point.
They knew Chine had shown mercy, so they shouted their surrender without hesitation, and their figures vanished instantly.
Ultear's eyes narrowed slightly as she pondered a way to counter her. All of Chine's power resided in her sword; if she could corrode that sword...
What would a sword master do without a sword?
"Arc of Time!"
However, the moment she activated her magic, Chine sensed it and appeared before her in an instant. Ultear's pupils shrank, and before she could react, the blade had already sliced across her abdomen.
Clutching her bleeding abdomen, she retreated rapidly. But seeing Chine standing there watching her, she knew that pulling away was useless; that speed was at least three times faster than her own.
"Arc of Time is ineffective against living beings..."
Chine said with a smile, "After the Grand Magic Games, you can come with me. Someone can teach you the true, complete Arc of Time."
"The complete Arc of Time?"
Ultear sealed her wound with ice, slightly confused. "Who is this person you're talking about?"
She had long felt that Arc of Time could be improved further. She hadn't expected that someone else besides Master Hades would know this magic.
"That person's name cannot be mentioned here... Well, are you willing to come with me?"
Chine wanted to train Ultear as a member of the Spriggan 12. Compared to her peers, this girl's magic power was already at the top level.
"I refuse. I've already found my path. Even without a teacher, I can complete the advancement of the Arc of Time on my own!"
Ice walls rose from the ground around Ultear. Arc of Time continued to activate, quickly corroding Chine's sword until it turned into debris.
Chine brushed the dust off her hands, unconcerned about the destruction of her sword. Her figure instantly appeared before Ultear, and she thrust her hand through the ice wall, piercing her abdomen.
Looking at the fallen Ultear, she said indifferently, "The sword isn't that important to me. Your focus should have been on me."
If she wanted to, she could condense a longsword of magic power at will.
Seeing Ultear severely injured, Meredy hurriedly activated her magic, Sensory Link.
A pink bracelet appeared on her arm and connected to Chine.
She rushed over and supported her with a worried look. "Ur, are you okay?"
Ultear had lost too much blood. Though pale, she still had a smile on her face. "Ur is my mother. My name is Ultear. Please use my full name, thank you."
Meredy was on the verge of tears. "You're still saying things like that at a time like this? Just surrender and go out to get treated."
Ultear nodded. "I really can't go on. If you feel like you can't win, surrender with me."
She was worried that this silly child, Meredy, would try to avenge her and accidentally get killed by Chine.
Meredy raised her hand, showing the pink magic mark on her wrist, and said confidently, "I'm currently linked to her through Sensory Link. All my pain will be reflected on her. She won't dare to move against me!"
Before she could finish, she saw the mark on Chine's wrist shatter, and her heart instantly went cold.
Chine smiled. "Such small tricks won't work on me. 'One sword to break all laws' isn't just a saying."
This was the path she walked; she could slash through almost any magic. Even if there were some extremely powerful magics she was temporarily helpless against, as her sword path grew stronger, she would eventually be able to slash through everything.
Meredy and Ultear exchanged a look and shouted their surrender simultaneously, then vanished in a flash of light.
