455 Chapter 453
Much to everyone\'s surprise, even though Leon said the battles would be of ten versus ten, only Gisela stepped forward and threw her brown armor and massive great sword on the floor. Even without saying a single world, she challenged Yuki to a fight just by looking at her.
Yuki accepted the challenge, and she did the same, threw away her equipment and even her gauntlets before she approached the arena alongside several soldiers. Gisela\'s underlings also understood that the two leaders would fight, and they would only watch. Some of them were ready to fight, but soldiers of both sides didn\'t dare to interrupt the battle of their leaders.
"Now that I think about it, I should have made the arena using only steel..."
Leon made the arena to be pretty sturdy, but he already knew how both Yuki and Gisela got strong... The arena wouldn\'t last long, so he would have to repair it every time it got destroyed. Both warriors jumped on the arena, and they didn\'t even wait for Leon to give the sign of the start of the battle. Yuki and Gisela charged forward and only stopped when they hit other faces in the middle of the ring.
Gisela was stronger physically and caused more damage, Leon noticed that when he saw Yuki bleeding from her nose. However, Yuki recovered faster and was already aiming upper at Gisela\'s solar plexus. Gisela blocked it using her left elbow, soon after she retreated a little and then headbutted Yuki. That caught her by surprise, and Yuki took a few steps back because the attack made her feel dizzy.
"Heal," Yuki said and then healed her wounds and recovered from that state.
"Mmm... maybe this battle will be more difficult for Gisela than I thought..."
However, when Leon looked at Gisela\'s face, he noticed that the wound that Yuki caused was healing. Although her healing skills weren\'t as good as Yuki\'s, Gisela could heal herself too. In the end, Leon confirmed that the battle would only end after a few hours when neither of them could stand anymore after spending the nutrients of their bodies to heal themselves.
Yuki activated Haste for a second and suddenly appeared behind Gisela, she learned that trick from Leon, but Gisela also activated Stone Skin the very moment Yuki disappeared from her sight. Yuki frowned when she received more damage than she caused, but still managed to dodge the roundhouse kick Gisela prepared.
"Hey... I said no kicks," Leon frowned. "Don\'t use headbutts as well."
Both Yuki and Gisela ignored Leon\'s words and just punched each other fists. Although Yuki could become much faster, she decided not to use Haste, or she would be spending a lot more mana than she wanted. Yuki decided to save her mana to heal her wounds. Gisela did the same, to protect her from surprise attacks, she would only Stone Skin only now and then.
After only causing harm to their fists, Yuki and Gisela stepped back. Yuki decided to heal her fist, but Gisela chose to attack. After suddenly jumping, Gisela fell even faster and punch the place Yuki had been a few moments ago. Her attack had been so powerful that the entire arena started to crack.
"So violent..." Leon sighed and then started to repair the arena.
While Gisela was still on her landing position, Yuki readied her body and pointed her left elbow toward Gisela before activating Haste for a moment. Her charge almost caught Gisela by surprise, but she activated Stone Skin again. Although she still suffered some damage since she used her arms to block the attack, didn\'t escape unscathed either.
Using tricks, spells, or anything wouldn\'t help either of them to win the battle. So, both Yuki and Gisela decided to fight without relying on that. Gisela recovered from the impact and charged forward while she raised her right knee. Yuki took a step backward to escape her attack range, and at the same time, she prepared a roundhouse kick. The very moment Gisela noticed that she relaxed her left and lowered her stance before her attack could even end. After hitting the air and escaping Yuki\'s roundhouse kick, she charged forward almost running like a dog and tried to headbutt Yuki\'s stomach, but the immortal empress decreased the power of the impact by using both arms to stop her attack.
That attack pushed Yuki back a few meters, but at least that gave her the chance to attack Gisela\'s back or head. However, before she could do that, Gisela grabbed her legs and then jumped upward, Yuki got caught by surprise and started to punch Gisela\'s back, but since she was in mid-air, the power of her attacks decreased a lot. Eventually, both girls fell on the arena again, but Gisela landed while sitting over Yuki. Gisela had the advantage in that position, but Yuki wouldn\'t let her do as she wanted. Gisela prepared a punch, but Yuki did the same even though her position was terrible, Yuki managed to cause a lot of damage even when Gisela attacked because she activated Iron Fists. However, Gisela knew she would do something like that, so she also activated Rage... in the end, both girls just punched each other and made the other side lose a few teeth.
Gisela punched Yuki a few times on that advantageous position. Still, eventually Yuki counterattacked and took the position over Gisela and attacked with consecutive punches... from that point onward, the same thing repeated itself several times. Little by little, Yuki and Gisela\'s face were receiving more and more wounds, and the arena was getting redder by the minute. Although the fight had been very impressive even though not much mana had been used, Leon was already sick of watching... it wasn\'t a good thing to see his friends hurting each other like that.
