Chapter 251: Skill Verse (1/2)
”Devour!”
This attack took her by surprise as Agata turned around, finding nine heads coming toward her. All those heads were five times bigger than her body, so it was easy for them to swallow her. And with Alea faking her condition, the surprise threw her balance off.
'Ugh! I can't dodge this one.' Agata thought while summoning a pink shield to protect her.
However, the nine heads came at her from all directions in succession so as to avoid Agata using their timing to escape.
'Will I be able to handle them?' Agata gulped down as she didn't realize one important thing from Alea. Even so, Agata still tried her best to protect herself.
The first head came at her and bit the shield, shattering it into pieces. The second and third heads came from the side and Agata punched both their teeth with all her might to repel them, but the fourth and fifth had already appeared right before her eyes.
Agata clicked her tongue and tried to use another skill, only to find all nine heads were trapped in ice the next second.
Diego stepped on one of the heads while announcing, ”With my right as the referee, I announce that Alea has delivered a killing blow to the enemy and Agata has no skill to counter it. Hence, Thersland wins!”
”O-oh?!”
The audience was stunned, never expecting Alea to win this match, despite her earlier condition. At first, both Agata and Alea tried to deal some damage to each other, even if it meant they were injured as well.
It was Alea's strategy since she had the God of Fortitude's Blessing, allowing her to last longer than Agata. However, in the previous exchange, Alea certainly seemed to have no more power to fight Agata after getting influenced by that pink ball.
That was why they couldn't see Alea winning this match. But it turned out everything was fake. Alea made Agata think she was influenced even though she still had enough mental forbearance to endure the desire rising in her body.
The shock didn't stop there. Those who scouted Theo would also consider Alea because they looked good as a couple back in the banquet even though they were not. Alea might become the key to get Theo. Hence, they began to investigate her.
But this battle showed them Alea indeed had the qualification to become the team leader.
”Did she… Did she have twelve skills?” Ignazio gasped as his hands were shaking.
Fortitude Shield, Inch Slash, Melting Sword, Enchant Blade, Flamming Ge-Sword, Herculean Strike and Grand Burst were her seven main sword skills. To add her repertoire, she had two skills that Magician usually possessed, Splash Explosion and Phoenix Talon.
This meant she already had nine skills. Yet, in this battle, Alea actually used three more skills: Great Lion Roar, Devouring Hydra, and Rhyme Hind from God of Fortitude Heracles' Twelve Labours.
Realizing her power, Ignazio shuddered and said, ”Impossible. There is not a single person that has more than ten skills.”
