The progress of the battle suddenly changed, and Renee fell into a desperate situation.Right now, Renee was caught in the midst of a massive storm, and everywhere around her was covered with giant wind blades of varying sizes. At the center of this storm was chad who was using it as a cover to stop Renee's advance towards him.Chad's ability was the ability to perfectly control wind and air. He was able to shape the wind and air into different forms based on his needs and, depending on the situation, he could imbue the wind and air with special characteristics.One of these characteristics was the ability to hide any and all traces of the wind, making it undetectable to others.The principle behind Chad's invisible wind blades was that he could condense the wind or air into solid form, giving it a transparency that was hard to distinguish from the surroundings. At the same time, he was able to erase any signs of its movement through the air. This was how

The first match of the final round of the chosen ceremony had finally come to an end.Renee became the winner and she would move on to the next round of the tournament while her opponent, Chad, was eliminated. His journey in this ceremony ends here.After the match had ended, Renee made her way back towards where Arran, Brianna, and Daphne were standing. There was a confident and laid-back smile on Renee's face as she made her way back.When Renee finally reached Arran and the girls, she immediately asked, "So... how did you see my battle? It was good, right?"Arran nodded his head slowly as he replied to Renee in a slow drawl."Sure, you did well. I had no doubt you would win. Still, it wasn't what I had expected as well. I had thought you would end the battle in an instant. Instead, you let it drag on for longer than was needed. I don't know if you were playing with your opponent or something, but if this is how you're going to perform for the re

The second match had ended, and shortly after, the third would soon begin.It was not yet Arran's turn to fight, neither was it the turn of Brianna or Daphne. Out of the three of them, Brianna had drawn a bye, so she did not have to fight in this round. As for Daphne, her match was not until the sixth one, while Arran had to wait until the eleventh match before he would be able to fight.Because of this, the four of them could sit back and relax and watch the rest of the matches while getting ready for theirs.Soon, the participants for the third match arrived on stage and they got ready for their fight to start.Due to the fact that there was no damage done to the stage this time, the third match began much faster than the second.The participants for the third match were both males, and the two of them had differing statures.One of them was short and stocky, while the other was tall and burly.From their physiques, it was quite har

The fifth match was between two female participants. Both female participants wielded swords to fight, with the difference being that one of them wielded a very classic long sword with a broad blade and an ancient-looking design.The other female participant, on the other hand, carried in her hand a military-style short saber. The saber blade looked ordinary and unadorned and there were no fancy decorations or jewel inlays on the saber. Everything about the saber looked ordinary except for the red color that looked either like rust or dried blood that stained the sharp edge of the blade.Simply looking at the blade and its wielder, the two of them did not look special in any way at all, but if one were to take a closer look, they would find that there was a certain kind of aura surrounding the saber. This aura was one that would shock a person should they look at it for a very long time as they would start to hear faint sounds of battle in their ears as well as the sou

"What the hell are you talking about?"Arran asked out loud in confusion.He was starting to not make sense of what Renee was saying anymore."Did you not hear what I said?" Renee asked."Let me say it again... should you ever meet this girl in a battle, end it as soon as possible. If you can't, then run. Don't even think about surrendering and just run. Run as far away as you can from her before it's too late."Once again, Arran asked, "And for what reason am I running? You have to tell me the reason why I have to run or else it won't make any sense to me at all."In response to Arran's question, Renee simply said, "You have to run as fast as possible because if you don't, that weirdo is going to disgust you to death!"Arran: "...""I give up!" Arran raised his hands in defeat."I just can't talk sense with you."Not paying attention to Renee anymore, Arran instead turned to Brianna to talk to her.Arran h
