Chapter 534
The imperial representative announced the start of the final round and called out the names of the participants: «Elsa Stone, the imperial phaser at the beginning stage, against Dick Baker, the noble phaser at the middle stage!»{«I forbid you to use your bow and all the elements except for pure energy.»} – using the formation in Elsa\'s head, Kyon sent an audio message to her.
{«Do you want the title of empress\' senior disciple so badly? Why don\'t you just order me to surrender?»} – Stone asked with annoyance and disappointment in her telepathic voice.
{«The final purpose of my order is different.»}
{«And what is it? Eh? Why are you silent? Why don\'t you tell me you\'re afraid of losing to me? Because you are a coward! I\'m sure as soon as you realize that you don\'t have a chance, you\'ll forbid me to use pure energy, too!»}
Kyon rolled his eyes: {«Too many words, woman. Get ready to fight. Fight seriously.»}
{He\'s infuriating! Why is he behaving like this?! Shouldn\'t the messenger of the goddess have masculinity and dignity?!} – Elsa was angry. At first, Rose disappointed her, and now he, apparently, will do the same…
The signal to start the fight sounded. The protective barrier appeared.
Kyon took out the crimson Scourge and slowly walked towards the girl.
Elsa took out a new silver sword with a serious look and prepared for battle.
The audience looked at each other in puzzlement: «Lady Elsa has never taken out a weapon during the entire tournament… Why did she take it out just now?» … «Obviously to avenge Baker for humiliating Rose. She doesn\'t want to get her hands dirty.» … «Even so, he\'s not worth it…» … «May the ground be heavy to you, fatty.»
Kyon jumped up and, weighing the Scourge to 10 tons, brought it down on the blonde.
However, Elsa stepped back, fearing for the integrity of her new weapon.
~BA-A-AH~ ~CRU-U-UNCH~
Half of the audience was startled by the crushing crash and crackle. They saw how a half-meter funnel formed in the place where Baker had hit, and thick cracks spread for another 5 meters.
Everyone present bulged their eyes in disbelief. Even the strongest blows of Clementine and Seraphima, the royal phasers at the finishing stage, left half the damage!
Kyon was well aware that he needed to demonstrate that he was worthy not only of the title of the empress\' junior disciple, but also of the senior one, while not revealing his identity. That\'s why he immediately used the third move – "Falling calamity".
Elsa\'s silhouette blurred due to the high speed with which the girl rushed into a frontal attack.
Kyon weighed down the sword to 7,500 kilograms and struck a counter blow.
The silver and crimson swords clashed, creating a deafening roar.
~CLA-A-ANG~
The blonde retreated a step, while he scraped 5 meters on the ground.
{Did you take my attack at half force?!} – Stone was amazed.
{«I told you – fight seriously.»} – said Kyon.
Elsa frowned and this time attacked with full force.
~CLA-A-ANG~
The meeting of the attacks generated a shock wave capable of concussing an ordinary person.
The girl did not take a single step, while he scraped 10 meters on the ground.
Elsa\'s eyes widened in surprise. In her understanding, even Rose would have rolled head over heels with a broken arm, while Kyon not only remained unharmed, but also managed to maintain balance! The girl\'s idea of the power of the messenger of the goddess changed dramatically.
«He took the blow of the imperial phaser twice!» … «How is this possible?!» … «Has Dick always been so strong?!» – the audience commented on what they saw with amazement. If we take into account the funnel from the first miss, as well as the roar from the collision of blows, there were no concessions.
~CLA-A-ANG~
Another exchange of blows, and exactly the same result as before.
Elsa immediately noticed that Kyon\'s strength did not correspond to the royal phaser at the peaking stage, as it was the time when he broke her weapon. The girl remembered that then his blow contained the element of light, which for some reason he does not use now…
{Does he underestimate me so much that he even gives in?! Bastard, you asked for it!} – the blonde was instantly behind him and was about to give him a side blow with the flat side of the sword on the ass…
Coldly snorting, Kyon met the girl\'s attack with a roundabout…
~CLA-A-ANG~
Elsa\'s shock knew no bounds: {How could he see my movements?!}
{«Are you deaf? I\'m tired of repeating that you have to fight seriously…»} – Kyon, of course, was pleased that Stone was worried about him, but now there should be a real fight between them.
Elsa narrowed her beautiful eyes and attacked, no longer holding back. She quickly noticed that Kyon was weakening the full force of the impact by sliding on the ground. If so, then this explains why his dominant hand is still fine. Here is his vulnerability!
Taking all this into account, Stone tried to attack from top to bottom, but the cunning guy simply attacked her from bottom to top at an angle of forty-five degrees, shifting all inertia to his advantage for further sliding.
~CLA-A-ANG~
The girl clicked her tongue irritably and continued her attempts, but no matter how hard she tried, no matter what clever tricks and deceptions she used, the noble lady never reached the goal. All her attacks were greeted by the opponent with his own attacks. Not only did he see her movements, but he could also think and read them in advance in an incomprehensible way…
{«How many fighting fists does he have?!»} – Elsa began to envy that he had achieved such mastery.
Meanwhile, some spectators were already holding their heads, watching the fight in disbelief. Now they realized that the girl took out the sword not to kill Baker, but because she probably knew about his real strength.
Just looking at how masterfully he takes the punches of the imperial phaser at the beginning stage, people came to the conclusion that he would have overcome Seraphima and Clementine with great probability. It turns out that the fact that he got to the final of the tournament is completely justified.
The three princes of Liberia looked at each other sourly. They were so wrong.
Princess Haya couldn\'t close her mouth.
Kyon smiled bitterly to himself. With a supreme soul enchantment for strength, developed right arm and head, as well as carbon skin and bones, he can take Elsa\'s punches without any consequences for himself. And even if the girl were an imperial phaser at the middle stage, the situation would change slightly. But so what? How to win? In a duel of endurance, his energy, alas, will quickly run out. He will slow down too much without the movement technique, and he will turn into a whipping ball without the sticking technique…
In addition, he cannot use the element of time, like any others, yet he is Dick who knows only pure energy. He is also forbidden to reveal his trump cards to enemies – clones and the ability to teleport to them. But what hurts most is another thing: he is not able to realize his strength, exchanging blows. And all this because of the fact that during the rescue of Valeera, "The Dark Baron" knocked him out with a sudden blow to the head, and the 0th general is aware of this. In his defense, he then said that he was very fragile.
The question is: how to win?
{«Are you going just to defend yourself?!»} – Elsa asked with displeasure.
{«You asked for it.»} – Kyon jumped up, weighed the Scourge to 10 tons and, activating "The sovereign\'s stare", brought the weapon down on the girl.
Elsa shivered with sudden horror. She was unnerved. The imperious will of the messenger of the goddess instantly knocked out all sanity from the mind of the girl. She felt only fear and awe, like a lamb being attacked by an angry dragon…
Stone came to her senses at the very last moment and tried to block with her sword.
~CLA-A-ANG~ ~BOOM~
The blonde\'s silver weapon broke into two pieces at the base, and the crimson sword hit her on the forehead, strongly pressing the unfortunate girl with the back of her head into the gray rock of the arena.
Half a million viewers\' jaws dropped. They didn\'t expect this at all.
A spark of interest lit up in the eyes of Gina and Lana, watching the battle.
Elsa jumped out from under the messenger of the goddess, like a frog, and landed, however, barely standing because of her trembling knees. She held only the hilt tightly in her hands, and this clearly indicated that the girl still hadn\'t recovered from the shock.
Coming to her senses, Stone threw away the hilt and blushed. Now she considered Kyon not a nimble mannequin for training, but a deadly opponent who could even take her life. He bent her will with just a glance, and left her unarmed! How could she stay calm?!
«What flea market did you buy this sword from?» – Kyon asked mockingly.
Some Valentines, who recognized this sword as a gift from Rose, bowed their heads in sorrow.
Elsa didn\'t say anything, just squinted warily. A tornado with lightning flashing inside, threatening to incinerate everything, rapidly formed around her.
The audience excitedly talked: «Well, that\'s it, he angered Lady Elsa!» … «The unique body of physical strength will not help him survive the lightning strike… Now Baker is definitely finished.» … «Now he will know the full power of the imperial phaser!»
{«You fool, I forbade you to use the elements!»} – Kyon got angry.
{«B-but I\'m unarmed… I can\'t fight you with my bare hands… Give me at least a chance to get this title, Kyon! I need it! And you will get it sooner or later anyway with your incredible abilities!} – Stone pleaded.
{«Elsa, damn it, it\'s like you didn\'t notice that I\'m also severely limited in capabilities… If you didn\'t save your pathetic sword with pure energy, that\'s only your problem!»}
The blonde\'s eyebrows went up: {So he doesn\'t underestimate me!} – she wanted to slap her forehead because of recent erroneous conclusions. But suddenly the beautiful face of the girl turned deathly pale, and her eyes darted around the stands in panic.
Catching the strange reaction of his stepsister, Kyon asked: {«What\'s the matter?»}
{«Someone o-ordered me to fake defeat, otherwise… Otherwise Juno…»}
Lovr looked around the rows of spectators with an icy gaze. As expected, as soon as he is in real danger, someone will influence the outcome of the duel. Putting pressure on Elsa with the help of Juno - her weakest point - is smart, and most importantly, effective.
Initially, Kyon planned to fight Elsa in equal conditions, when they are both limited. May the best one win. After all, it didn\'t really matter to him whether he became the empress\' senior or junior disciple. He was aiming higher. The main thing was to make the fight exciting enough to deprive the citizens of Rosarrio of the desire to resent the results of the duel.
However, Lovr has just changed his mind. Thus, he will not only emotionally bind Elsa to himself, which will benefit him in the future, but will also show the puppeteers that he knows his place and is not in a hurry for the title, like a moth to a flame.
«I give up!» – Kyon announced loudly, raising his hand.
«Hoh, he really gave up!» … «No wonder, because Baker will not be able to oppose anything to the lightning of Lady Elsa.» … «And he\'s not a fool!» – the audience was not at all surprised by the fat man\'s act, on the contrary, they considered it the only right decision.
Elsa raised her thin eyebrows in surprise: {«Kyon… Why? Why did you give me the title?»} – the act of the messenger of the goddess deeply moved the girl. In fact, he honestly defeated her, because they were on equal terms, and yet after someone\'s blackmail, he nobly gave her the title… The blonde\'s initial disappointment in her stepbrother was blown away by the wind.
Stephanie Russell chuckled: {And he has character… So be it.}
The imperial representative caught the nods of the judges and declared Elsa the winner.
The stands burst into applause that will not subside for a very long time.
Today, the third senior disciple of the empress appeared in Rosarrio, as well as seven junior ones. Soon they will proceed to the palace, where they will take an oath of allegiance in front of witnesses, after which the empress will officially proclaim them her disciples.
…
«Damn it, why didn\'t I finish him off earlier… DAMN!» – the zeroth general left a huge dent in the pyrobloin wall with a blow of his fist. A fit of violent rage seized the man who was usually incredibly cold-blooded by nature.
However, the man quickly calmed down, sat down at the table and put his fingertips together. He thought better in this position. After 10 minutes he opened his eyes. A plan to achieve what he wanted in the most effective and unpredictable way formed itself in his head.
