It was dark, but the entire arena looked like daylight.
The number of people who can come and watch is not a big deal. In the final analysis, it is just a competition and not worth the effort.
Only some officials with slightly higher status were allowed to enter.
In the venue, Esdeath and Nadjeta stood opposite each other.
General Bude stood at the edge of the arena, arms crossed, and Lubbock stood directly behind the palace guards, leaning against the fence of the arena.
The entire arena was silent. The onlookers looked at the tense confrontation in the arena and couldn't help but hold back their breathing.
Only Heaton and the minister remained calm.
Heaton sat on his seat, his calves swaying, while the minister raised the meat in his hand, raised his head and took a bold bite.
"Bah chirp."
The sound of the minister's chewing seemed to be heard throughout the venue.
There is no referee, no one will call start, or no one present is worthy of being a referee.
Although General Bude folded his arms and said something to his chest, his vigilance had already been raised to the highest level.
The blue-haired girl in front of me, who was almost twenty years younger than me, gave me the feeling of facing a super dangerous species.
Nadjeta's momentum was so different.
Crazy and violent, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Bude would definitely think that the person facing him was a dangerous species.
Even if he holds the Teigu, it may not be easy for him to defeat her!
As a client, Nadjeta faced even greater pressure.
A drop of cold sweat streaked across Nadjeta's forehead, showing that she was not at peace in her heart.
But there was no fear or fear in Nadjeta's heart.
At this moment, she has clearly realized the gap between herself and Esdeath, but this is not the reason for her to give up without fighting.
"Want to use a sword?"
Nadjeta asked, her hand resting on the sword at her waist.
This is a long sword issued by the imperial army. It is not special, but it is also an old companion who has accompanied Nadjeta during her years in the army.
"As you wish." Esdeath didn't care. The man in front of him, who was also an imperial general, was not weak, but he was just not weak.
But her attitude towards fighting will not stop, she will only go all out.
"Whoosh!"
The long sword is unsheathed.
Nadjeta drew the sword from her waist. She had to go all out.
"Bang!"
Nadjeta felt a flash before her eyes, and the alertness from the battle made her react.
"Dang~"
Esdeath punched Nadjeta's sword, which she barely managed to block.
A burst of dust was stirred up by the air wave generated by the collision, and Nadjeta and Esdeath's hair fluttered.
A smile appeared on Esdeath's lips, quite satisfied that Nadjeta was able to block this move.
She quickly raised her right leg and stepped toward Nadjeta's thigh with a whip kick.
"Bang!"
This kick hit Nadjeta's leg for real, and the strong force and severe pain caused her to fly backwards.
Esdeath did not take advantage of the victory and put her left hand on the Western rapier at her waist, waiting for Nadjeta to stand up again.
Totally unbeatable!
Feeling the pain in her thigh, Nadjeta had only this thought in her mind.
She left her hand alone, otherwise my leg would have been broken.
Nadjeta stood up with her sword in hand, suppressed the pain, and took a fighting stance.
Under her feet was a large spiderweb-shaped pit that had just been smashed.
"Coming!"
The blow just now gave her a general understanding of Esdeath's attack method.
Fast punches and great strength.
None of this is an attack that I can withstand.
"Whoosh!"
The wind of the punch brushed against her ears, and Nadjeta dodged Esdeath's punch.
The long sword in his hand swung at an extremely fast speed, stabbing Esdeath.
"Dang~"
There was a collision of metal, and Esdeath used extremely quick reflexes to avoid the sword's edge, and her high heels easily knocked the sword aside.
Nadjeta tightened her grip on the sword to stop the trembling sword.
"Don't worry about hurting me. Being merciful is the qualification of the strong. The weak just need to try their best to resist."
Esdeath smiled and spoke in a cold tone, but as soon as he said the words, he seemed to think that the identity of the person opposite him was the same as himself, a general of the empire, and then said:
"Your strength has surpassed that of most people, but you are still insufficient when facing me. So, don't be merciful anymore."
With that sword strike just now, Esdeath clearly felt that the sword slowed down significantly when it was about to approach him.
‘Are you afraid of hurting me? Ridiculous’
Esdeath didn't feel moved, she had to go all out when facing herself.
Nadjeta didn't have time to think about Esdeath's taunt now. All her attention was now focused on Esdeath's ready attack.
The fist wind was raging, and the ripples caused by the powerful aura could even be faintly seen in the venue.
Heaton no longer knew what he was looking at.
Heaton couldn't clearly see the quick movements between the two fighting.
But from the level of destruction on the field, he could still clearly judge the intensity of the battle.
But, this is enough.
The momentum and destruction caused by the battle left everyone present speechless.
The venue was not small, but the aftermath of the battle between the two severely impacted the guards on the edge, including Lubbock.
He is a Teigu holder, but he may not be able to survive a single round of the battle in front of him.
No matter how subtle or silent your own [Cross Tail] is, it will be useless in the face of absolute strength.
They are only five years older than me!
Can I achieve such strength?
Lubbock witnessed the world's top battles for the first time, and doubted his own strength for the first time.
Lubbock stared at the center of the battlefield with shocked eyes, and out of the corner of his eye couldn't help but glance at Bude, who was still standing still.
It was still that reassuring broad back, and Lubbock's restless heart couldn't help but calm down.
Looks like I have to work harder!
Otherwise, wouldn't it be ridiculous if he couldn't beat his wife in the future?
Lubbock could barely distinguish the white figure that was entangled in the battle. His calmed heart started to rise again. Nadjeta's embarrassed appearance full of scars made him unable to help but worry again.
Heaton sat on the high platform and asked the ministers beside him.
"Minister, can you see their fight?"
The minister's hand ate meat.
"Your Majesty, this is the strength of the imperial general. Only with this strength can we protect the empire and protect His Majesty the Emperor."
Of course... he couldn't see clearly either, but that didn't mean he was going back to Heaton's problem.
This was the first time that Heaton had a simple understanding of the power of this world.
It was completely different from the previous bloody battles between prisoners.
Bloody gladiatorial fights will only arouse the dark resonance deep in people's hearts, advocating violence, abuse, and bullying of the weak.
But such a showdown between strong men is completely opposite.
