Chapter 2309 - The Death Wheel It had been two days since I had placed the wine to age, and I have got no mission from the Pyramid, and I am not the only one. The person in front of me was even more frustrated; that right after she finished absorbing the solution I had prepared for her, she dragged me to fight her. I have many important things to do, and I would rather not spar, but Elina is not the person who would take a no for an answer. "You do know that I have a strength of Mid-Grandmaster, right? I might injure you seriously if I am not careful," I said to her as I summoned my armor and sword, which had taken the shape of the rapier. "Snort!" Elina snorted, and the next second, a powerful aura exploded out of her body that surprised me for a moment. I had expected she had reached this stage when I was analyzing her data but sensing it clearly had put a smile on my face. "I want to experience how powerful a mid-Grandmaster is," She said and came toward me with her aura blazing. "Feather Storm!" She shouted as she appeared in front of me and attacked me with her sword. Hearing the sound of attack and aura she is releasing, one might feel like there is a huge storm of the feather is coming, but it is not. It is a powerful attack that is wholly contained in her sword; each strike of her sword contains the power of the firestorm. The masters would just burn if they got too close to this attack; only Grandmasters would be able to defend against it. "Power of Grandmaster, nice," I said and moved my rapier. It looked like a casual move from me, but it had instantly appeared right next to the sword. My rapier was so fast that even Elina was not able to see before in front of her sword. Clang! A defeaning metallic clang out, and a storm-like shockwave erupted. The power of shockwave was so great that it would have instantly vaporized any Master who was too close to attack. Elina bore the attack, but her whole body shook, and a trickle of blood came out of the corner of her lips. A smile appeared on my face seeing that, and I swung my sword again. Since she had decided to ask me for a fight, it would be wasteful if I did not show her little of my power and create pressure on her to improve further. Clang Clang Clang The strikes of my rapier began to crash down on her, and she defended, but each defense would injure her and force her to take a step back while I would increase the power behind my attacks further, forcing her to improve and harness more power from her Bloodline. About a month and a half ago, she was still a Master and now is still a Master but possesses the power of the Grandmaster. I cant imagine the hard work she must have put herself on to make such huge advancement. Even having a Bloodline core, it is not easy to make such progress, and she would have made even more progress before she could level up to the Grandmaster class. She has a Bloodline Core, and she would need to squees every potential out of it in her current level before the level up. This way, she will be able to get greater benefits and also purify her Bloodline further, which is a target of all those with bloodline core. While those with bloodlines strive to harness as much power from their Bloodline, the goal change when their Bloodline from the Bloodline core. Here, the target became purification of Bloodline; the purer the Bloodline they have, the closer it would get to the source and the greater power they will obtain from it as their core advances. "Phoenix Requiem!" She shouted as she used one of the most powerful attacks on me. Her bloodied hands swung the sword writhing in dense purple-violet flames. If it had been a month ago, I had faced this attack, I would have felt truly scared. This is marvelous as it is destructive; these flames contained the power of death phoenix. CLANG! My rapier clashed against it, and all the flames covering her sword whisked away, and she flew back like a rocked. BANG! She crashed hard on the wall; I could hear her bone-breaking skin splintering. I did not show any mercy on her, striking directly at the weakness of her attack, crushing her attack with the same amount of power she used. "I know you have something even more powerful, use it now, or next attack of mine will be powerful enough to make you unconscious," I said. "If you want to see my most powerful move, I will reveal it to you," She said with a bloody smile appeared on her face. The next second, her aura changed, and I couldn't be surprised sensing it before a smile appeared on my face. "Death Phoenix Arts: The Death Wheel!" She said and said and brough swing down her sword, as she did, about a meter diameter wheel with faint purple-violet fire formed and next instant appeared next and about to go for slicing my body in half. "So, you have got the bloodline art," I said with a smile and brough down my sword at the wheel. BANNG! A loud explosion rang out, and the faint purple-violet fire enveloped me before it got absorbed into my armor with great surprise on my face. "Very powerful," I said with all seriousness. A month ago, I would not have been able to take this attack. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢 The destructive power of her bloodline art is really immense and what's more shocking is that she had gotten the art not long ago, but she is still able to comprehend such power from it. If she was able to comprehend it further, she would become a terror for the Grandmasters; even Grand Lords, with enough time.
