"There are two rounds left. Let's finish this, shall we? Participants for the ninth round. Please enter the arena." Theo announced out loud.
The first one to leap from their position was Maya.
Seeing the person from the same world, Rafthar immediately jumped off. "Well, isn't this Maya Emberwood? To think that there will be love across worlds blooming so soon…"
Maya smiled. "You don't need to tease me. You won't get the same response from me."
Rafthar carefully observed her face before clicking his tongue. "How boring…"
Maya took a deep breath. "Since Teacher Theo wants to finish this quickly, I think I should help him a bit. The arena can stay as it is. I don't need anything to change for my battle."
"Heh? How bold? Are you sure about that?"
Maya's expression turned serious. She looked at Rafthar. Despite his bold personality, Rafthar was shrewd.
His right arm and two legs had been changed to a mechanical one to increase his physical output.
In addition, his supernatural ability was invisibility. Instead of hiding only his body, his invisibility allowed him to cover everything around him, including his mechanical arms or clothes.
As a result, if they had to fight on a complex battlefield, Maya would have a hard time seeing whether Rafthar had hidden anything or not. After all, it would be a mess if she suddenly crashed into an invisible pillar or something.
Hence, the simplest arena was the easiest. Maya didn't mind playing such a game. By telling others that she didn't need to change the battlefield to defeat him, they would think that Maya was acting arrogant instead of knowing his power and weakness.
Maya knew that she had a low chance to defeat him, due to his ability.
Still, Maya had one assurance. Even Rafthar should know about this at this point, so there was no need to hide it.
"Hoh?!" Baold squinted his eyes, amused. "As expected, considering she is going to become the daughter-in-law, getting a knight link is to be expected…"
"What's that? Isn't this…" Javier raised his eyebrows.
Avalon's grandfather stood up before smacking the back of Avalon's head. "Lad. You really did a good job. Chaotic Trait.
"To think she gets the rarest one of the four traits of the Knight Link… Besides, it does seem she has been practicing a lot. It has only been several months since you asked for my permission, but she has manifested 15 links. Her talent is extraordinary. It usually takes two years to reach that level.
"With the Chaotic Trait, her physical strength will be improved tremendously by her emotions.
"However, this is different from the Unique and Special traits. The Chaotic Trait will also boost another part of her body. What is it?"
Avalon glanced back at his grandfather and pointed at one part of his body.
…
"Begin!"
Both Maya and Rafthar immediately leaped toward each other.
"Hahaha. You're going to defeat me with only this?" Rafthar grinned and confidently punched Maya with his mechanical arm.
Maya, on the other hand, had no change of expression, as though she had calculated everything in her mind and simply executed her plan.
She continued onward, not afraid of his fist. When the fist was about to reach her, her head tilted to the right. It looked like she wasn't able to avoid it completely, but a knife suddenly struck the mechanical arm from below, slightly pushing the arm to the side, which ultimately allowed her to avoid the punch entirely.
"!!!" Rafthar was surprised at first, but it wouldn't be easy to slip past his defense.
A small plate opened on his mechanical arm, shooting a bullet.
To his surprise, Maya had already ducked… even before the small plate even opened.
Maya kicked Rafthar's left leg with the power of the Knight Link.
However, she could only hear a clicking sound as the leg refused to budge.
"…" Maya glanced at the leg. It was indeed hard. If she didn't wear a special shoe, she would probably be the one getting hurt.
Rafthar smashed Maya from above, but without even looking at him, Maya had already spun her body and looped around Rafthar. Her blades went for the back of his neck.
To her surprise, she could sense incoming attacks from the side, forcing her to come to a full stop before jumping away as multiple attacks almost hit her.
"So, this is your supernatural ability." Rafthar smirked. "I have read the report, but experiencing it like this is much more terrifying."
"Thank you." Maya nodded. "I owe it all to my teacher."
"Heh. It seems you also know about my power." Rafthar took out small metal spheres and used his supernatural ability to hide them from plain sight. "Invisibility. And right now, there are a lot of spheres around you, manipulated by my magnetic field. They're revolving around me so fast that you won't be able to escape or reach me."
"This is… rather tricky." Elaine squinted her eyes.
"Indeed." Victoria nodded.
"What's happening?"
"It erases the trace of essence as well?"
"Even I can't see anything?"
"This…
For most people in this place, the invisibility completely hid everything, including any trace of essence.
However, for much stronger people like Victoria, Elaine, or Theo, they could perfectly sense it.
There were a total of a hundred spheres around him, divided into four orbits, two behind Maya and two in front of her.
If she got hit even with one of these spheres, it might feel like a bullet pierced through her body. That was why Maya was at a huge disadvantage.
However, there was one miscalculation that everyone had.
Both Theo and Avalon knew that this power was tricky, but it was nothing to Maya. After all, Maya could sense all kinds of dangers.
With that power, Maya charged straight in.
