Arch-Sabre: The Inheritor of The Blade

Chapter 16: Metamorphosis

"Bow skill: Charged Arrow!"

My released a charged arrow and successfully make Rigel's attack missed.

"Elea! Are you okay?"

"Sorry, that was careless of me," She replied.

Phew... that's dangerous, she could be sliced and hurt badly from that gravely-look strike. I need to think for a fast solution to win while supporting them. Quinn can handle Reeve with my support, but that girl, Sophie is annoying. The way she keeps unleashing strikes of fireball makes me unable to focus on support. Unlike my 'Scarlet Rain' skill, I need to charge them to make each of it equally powerful enough at least to knock out my target. The normal multiplying arrow I can produce is way weaker I can't keep my aim straight while keeping these fireballs out of my way. The way she keeps firing is probably to prevent me give support and to my team. I've got to do something.

"You need others to cover your back now huh, Princess..." Rigel said after cleared out the dust with a swing from his greatsword.

"I just getting started." Elea replied.

"Maybe that is not the case," Rigel tried to provoke her.

"I will finish this now! Activate Flash Step!"

[Flash Step(A-rank): Move the user to target in a blink. Can be used for 5 minutes.]

Looks like Elea is getting serious. Her body discharged a dim yellow light with flashes of lightning around her body.

"That's what I'm talking about! Activate Grand Power!"

[Grand Power(A-rank): Greatly increased overall ability with improved magical energy by threefold for 10 minutes.]

His body is starting to emit bright blue light with strong wind pressure to surrounding. In just a split second, Elea appear in front of Rigel, striking with her spear with all of her might but Rigel successfully defend against it. The clashing sound of their blade echoing in the gigantic stadium with strong wind pressure from the force of both weapons. The battle doesn't just stop my movement, but Quinn and the member of the enemy team. The reason is pretty much the same with the audience, we can't avert our eyes from the spectacular battle between those two.

"To think you can push me with my ability being tripled is very applaudable, princess!!" Rigel said during the fight.

"And I will keep pushing you until you fall!" Elea replied.

Their fight become wilder when Elea start to attack Rigel from multiple direction. The quick, fierce battle catches the attention of the whole audience in the stadium. Their excitement intensifies with roaring cheers and screams. Every time they Rigel and Elea clash their weapon, the loud clashing sound, wind pressure and a glimpse of friction spark will appear adding the beauty of the raging battle. Not only that, but every step Elea dashing from will also leave a crater on the stage floor. The force from her footing is amazing.

"HANA, LOOK AT THAT, THE RAGING BATTLE IS CURRENTLY BEING DISPLAYED BY THE PRINCESS AND STAR!"

"YES CARL! THIS IS THE MOST INTENSE BATTLE SO FAR BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE ON THE STAGE AND YET WE STILL OF SECOND STAGE!! WILL THIS BE THE BEST BATTLE FOR THE TOURNAMENT!?"

"What are you doing, we also have our scores to be settle," Sophie interrupted.

"Ah, yes... you are right, we can't let them have the show stolen by them, right?" I replied.

Sophie smiled a little and start rising her staff upwards. I have to be ready too. Looks like Quinn also have been continuing his battle for a little while.
