Elven Legacy (Part 2)

Chapter 370: Rankings Revealed

With Lourdes having been defeated, I was waiting for that comfortable sensation to wash over me and completely heal my injuries, but it never came; my Qi reserves weren't refilled either. Just when I was about to question it, I was suddenly enveloped by a glowing light, and the next thing I knew, I was standing in the middle of the Coliseum, directly below the spire, causing me to raise an eyebrow.

'Hmm, does that mean I've completed the Spire? Are there no more opponents for me to face within the Spire?' Thought Elif curiously as he raised his head, looking at the spire before observing his surroundings, only to shrug his shoulder.

Considering my situation, that only made sense after all; however, just as I took to the air, flying back to my booth, a powerful fiery beam rapidly flew my way, taking me slightly by surprise, but I managed to quickly retaliate by thrusting my palm forward, manifesting a large purple palm as it collided with the fiery beam.

My palm overpowered the attack without too much trouble, constantly pushing the fiery beam backward until it arrived at the Dragon Clans booth; however, by then, my attack had lost enough strength that the second attack managed to destroy it just before it destroyed the booth.

"Fucking knife-eared bastard!" Yelled Tiamat furiously as she exited the booth, glaring at Elif while raising her hand, transforming it into a large draconic claw.

Like the weak fool she was, she attacked me once more by slashing her draconic claw towards me, causing five attacks, akin to sword waves, to rapidly fly through the air, heading right for me; scoffing at her attack, I brought Hokori up and launched a heavenly scar, my attack sliced through the five sword waves after struggling for a brief moment before swiftly heading right for Tiamat. She didn't attack again and merely used her draconic claw to block my attack, and after a few moments, it eventually dispersed, though not after leaving a deep gash through her scales, even managing to draw a little blood despite it having lost a decent amount of strength from the initial attack.

"Do you wish to continue this pointless battle, lizard? Just because I'm injured doesn't mean I won't fight you; the outcome will be the same either way." Stated Elif as he snorted while provokingly eyeing Tiamat, who ground her teeth in unbridled fury, yet before she could make another move, the two suddenly paused.

Being engulfed in a powerful pressure, my eyes narrowed as I turned to gaze at the one responsible, only to see the elder, who was in charge of this little test, pressuring Tiamat and I with his Qi.

"Let us save this for the Challenging arena." Said the Elder lightly as he gazed between Tiamat and Elif with a raised eyebrow, his words causing her to angrily roar in defiance.

"Tch, whatever." Said Tiamat angrily as she glanced at Elif before ignoring him, causing the elder to release them of his pressure.

Scoffing at Tiamat, I turned around and continued floating to my booth while she returned inside her own; when I arrived, I spotted everyone present, though my three servants and Sarah looked a little worse for wear.

"Congratulations, your Highness!" Stated Marley, Idoena, and Ember with happy smiles as they lightly bowed while looking at Elif, who faintly smirked while flicking his hair, only to toss a pill into his mouth, causing him to subconsciously sigh.

"Yes! You've managed to defeat the Spire of Generational Might! You're amazing, your Highness!" Stated Sarah excitedly as she ran to Elif before embracing him in a hug and jumping up and down, causing his face to constantly twitch in pain.

Thankfully, Sarah must've felt Elaine's piercing glare boring into the back of her head since she eventually set me down while stepping backward.

"Hehe, s-sorry about that, your Highness. I-I got too excited on your behalf." Said Sarah awkwardly as she rubbed her head with a sheepish smile, causing Elif to lightly shake his head while Elaine snorted in annoyance.
