Chapter 736: A Hidden Genius

Chapter 736 - A Hidden Genius

The top ten participants stood on the platform, each staring at their would-be opponents.

Alice got a Dual Elementalist in the Sixth stage of the Overlord Plane, who just like her, had both the lightning and fire element. Reynolds' opponent was also in the Sixth stage, a Water Elementalist.

Presently, Reynolds and Alice were the only participants left that weren't in the Sixth stage of the Overlord Plane. Of the remaining eight people, one of them, in particular, seemed to be stopping himself from breaking through to the Seventh stage.

Other than Alice and Reynolds, he was the one who had the highest chance of getting the top spot. The young lady Grey beat up was just below him.

The participants were all given a two hours break to recover their strength.

None of the people in the arena left, rather, they stayed and spoke of the previous battles. What excited everyone was the fact that this wasn't the end of the competition, there was still the highly anticipated Late stage Overlord Plane battle that would start the next day.

There, they would see the geniuses at the top of the Overlord Plane. These were the people who had the highest attraction in the competition.

Two hours went by in the blink of an eye, and the competition continued.

Alice was the first person to step up. Being in the Fifth stage, she was slightly weaker than her opponent. Although, even without using the Seelie, her opponent couldn't guarantee defeating her.

Since there were only five battles taking place, the Factions felt it was better to watch them one at a time. This would let them focus on the person they want to.

When the battle started, Alice didn't immediately call upon her Seelie. She didn't want to always rely on it, so she preferred fighting on her own, then when things went beyond her, she would summon it.

Nevertheless, this didn't mean that she wasn't making use of the ice attribute of the Seelie. It was a great defensive element, not using it seemed like a waste.

When the fight started, Alice as usual took the initiative of attacking first. Knowing she would do this, her opponent didn't rush into attacking, wary of her troublesome ice.

He blocked the attack before countering. Alice evaded the attack before attacking.

They exchanged moves for a while, and no one seemed to have a clear advantage. But with time, the young man soon started to attack with more intensity.

Alice held on against the young man since she had a powerful defense. Breaking the ice was extremely difficult since it has self-healing properties. And the most troublesome thing about it was its ability to fight back. This almost made it an opponent since once it was attacked, it would fight back.

Alice used the ice to shield herself, balancing the battle. The young man couldn't take a clear advantage, while she wouldn't be defeated at this rate.

They continued fighting and after almost five minutes, Alice decided it was time to call out the Seelie. The young man was a tricky opponent, and he was extremely cautious.

When the Seelie came out, the young man suddenly exploded out with frightening attacks. It almost looked like he had been waiting for it to come out all this while.

He managed to break through the ice wall Alice used to protect herself from his attacks in the span of three seconds, not giving the ice any time to heal.

The crowd watched excitedly as the battle peaked. Alice brought out the Seelie, only to see another side of her opponent.

The young man managed to send her flying, but the Seelie made it impossible for him to capitalize on it. Alice almost fell off the platform, luckily, the Seelie created an ice wall that stopped her from moving.

The impact of the attack from the young man made her slam into the wall, causing cracks to form on it.

She looked at the young man, a little surprised by his present strength.

Grey and his friends watched the battle as usual. They guessed the young man was wary of the Seelie, so he waited until Alice called it out before trying to take her out with one swift blow.

His plan was almost successful. Unfortunately, Alice was able to reduce the impact of the attack just before it reached her.

Alice prepared herself for the young man's attacks. While fighting, she was surprisingly not able to get the advantage, even with her Seelie. This was the first time this young man was showing such strength. He had never been a favorite to win, but with the strength he was displaying, he was in no way weaker than those viewed highly by the others.

Alice and the young man continued fighting, she blocked, evaded, and countered. The young man also did the same.

The only reason he had been unable to defeat Alice was the Seelie. It had been able to help her fight against him. Not just that, but its attacks were very powerful, so he had to be extra careful when attacking.

"He hid well." Grey commented.

"Too well. To think there's someone this powerful among them." Kyle added.

Alice's opponent was slowly gaining the upper hand, even with the Seelie helping Alice.

Currently, it was unknown if Alice would be able to win this battle. If Alice won, it wouldn't bring down the young man since he showed great strength. If the young man were to win, it still wouldn't affect Alice's image.

The young man was very good, so losing to him was not unexpected.

"Who do you think would win?" Kyle asked.

"Alice." Grey and the other two replied before he even finished the question.

They were all very confident in themselves and their friends. If it was a battle they couldn't win, they had no qualms with admitting it, but this was not a battle Alice couldn't win.

The only thing was that her chances weren't as high as it would be if she were fighting against someone weaker than this young man.
