'Feifei's suppressing her powers?' Even Krune was surprised, having been unable to notice that before.
Boom!
But before he could process his thoughts, a loud explosion resounded from the arena, redirecting his attention. He observed that a dust cloud had formed in the center as the three people remained in the same spot.
Until now, they had only been unleashing their aura, causing it to become so concentrated that an explosion resounded. This wouldn't have happened if the aura unleashed by either one of the three was slightly more or less.
Though, the fact that an explosion had resounded was definite proof that their auras were evenly matched.
Gazing at the figures of Rumria and Guria, Zamuria frowned subtly. 'They're on the same level as me, including their body cultivation. Interesting!'
'Only such a fight is worthy of the fate that we had shouldered since young,' she thought, slowly gathering power in her body, preparing to attack.
From childhood, she had been repeatedly told that since her talent was to a high enough level, she was named Zamuria on behalf of her continent. Due to that, she had been forced to train constantly, ignorant of everything else.
That was why when she suffered her first setback to the First Prince, Zamuria was unable to endure it and ran away from her continent. After that, she fell victim to the ploys of a villain, lost her memories in the process and even bore her child—Cultivator, or the current Zamura.
That experience was a severe blow to her innocent nature and caused her to rapidly mature. After that, when she lived in the Sub-Realm, deprived of her powers when she first landed in Layer 3, Double Ocean, she had been helpless.
This was the first time she truly felt helpless, unable to do anything, left at the mercy of nature. Even simple fish that she had cooked for breakfast before was now terrifying, capable of claiming her life.
And, no sooner had she tried to adapt to it did the First Wave occur, causing her to encounter the Neon Radiance fishes.
She somehow persisted and lived on, gripping anything and everything she could to survive, her struggles causing the Neon Radiance fishes to mistakenly eat up parts of their brethren's flesh and turn into Neon Radiance Kings.
What followed next was a month's struggles as she traveled with the Neon Radiance fishes, moving along with the First Wave. From the position she had started at first, she had traveled for a far distance before managing to free herself from them.
For a month, she hadn't gotten a wink of sleep, fighting for her life every second. Honestly, even she herself was unsure as to how she had done that. But nevertheless, she did it, quickly ranking at the top in Layer 3.
Her experience in the Sub-Realm was truly enlightening, something that she hadn't experienced in her sheltered life at the palace. From possessing nothing, she had reached the peak of the world.
Her journey started from there as she lived a difficult life, growing strong with every twist and turn, gaining comrades that supported her, and so on.
All her thoughts, experiences, and the wisdom that she had accumulated were now condensed in her mind in the space of a couple of seconds as Zamuria crouched a little, saying, "Go all out! Otherwise, you'll die!"
Unlike the passive skills that either Krune, Feifei, Zamura, or the Seamstress had obtained, her five passive skills were the same—Neon Radiance!
This was not only a show of her experience but also her undying will in her resolve to grow stronger no matter what.
The air in the arena suddenly turned moist before resembling water as countless fishes appeared, real, swimming around as they soon targeted the two enemies.
"That's a neat trick that you got there," Guria smirked as she condensed a feather that she shot out, instantly piercing through a fish. Though, immediately after, she was surprised to see the ocean water churning into the fish's wounds, rapidly healing it.
The fish quickly appeared before Guria, opening its mouth to clamp on her as its teeth emanated an edge-like presence, looking like it could cut through anything.
Two feathers flew out from Guria and slammed into the fish's open jaws, preventing it from closing shut as they sent the fish flying away.
'It's also heavy!' Guria frowned, intending to attack, when she noticed a massive creature appear from beneath her, slowly opening its mouth as it unleashed a breath attack that was pretty much a sphere of air condensed into a bubble.
Tens of feathers shot out from Guria that pierced the bubble, instantly causing it to explode as the force alone sent everyone flying.
Rumria, on the other hand, calmly stood in place, observing the fight between the two, slowly raising her hand as she noticed a massive fish approaching her.
Condensed in her hand was a crescent moon that emanated a rotting stench, causing the water itself to vaporize as it flew out, cutting through the fish, rapidly disintegrating it.
At this time, a beam of light slammed into her, sending her flying away as a group of feathers swerved behind her, ambushing her, intending to injure her first.
But when both the abilities touched her, they disintegrated and vanished.
"Hahaha!" Rumria laughed as her presence slowly churned around her as her figure slowly landed on the ground. She then lifted her hand, muttering softly, "Compress!"
Instantly, the entirety of the water that had drowned the arena was smacked into the ground to such an extent it turned into a solid layer, barely a centimeter in height. As for all the fishes in there, they were flattened into two-dimensional drawings instead.
Rumria gazed at the figures of Guria and Zamuria that had slammed into the ground, creating a crater each, resisting the force she was exerting.
"Heuk!" Guria shouted as her body swelled up, causing her physique to become stronger as she slowly pushed away the pressure that tried to flatten her, causing Rumria's hand to move upwards in response.
Grunting, Rumria pressed her hand downward, raising the force that was pressuring them.
As for Zamuria, she suddenly clenched her hand into a fist as a layer of light condensed over her body before expanding at the speed of light, generating enough force on her own that she completely negated the force on her.
She then hurriedly raised her hand, unleashing a beam of light, actually targeting Guria instead.
