The Eternal Debauchery's

against Louis (2)

As I stepped on the stage, Louis looked at me with a focused gaze.

He looked at me as if he was studying me and trying to see through me. However, no matter how much he stared, he could not see anything beyond what I wanted him to see.

Finally, after almost a minute, he opened his mouth.

"How old are you? Twenty?"

"close."

“Mm. I thought so. I never thought there would be a talent like you in the empire. In fact, I don't think anyone in my generation can match me.”

Inevitably I look at this young man with a speechless look.

Oh my God, how arrogant.

I mean, of course, he's talented. Not many people were able to reach the tenth layer in their lives; however, he did so before he was twenty-five.

Even so, he was most able to be considered a genius. He was far from being called a monster.

Just like Raven who reached the ninth layer with just fifteen years of age, or Rose, a seventh layer practitioner who was able to kill a tenth layer practitioner because of her talent as a hero.

There was also Alice, who although normally did not show her cultivation, had already reached the eighth layer.

These people are real monsters. And even then, they were only slightly above average on a universal scale.

But they were nothing compared to some powerful 'iregular' that took less than a hundred years to become as powerful as some of the most powerful immortal beings.

Unfortunately, almost all of those irregulars die quickly, unable to reach Eternity before their lifetimes end. But even so, their talent was worth envying.

Compared to them, Louis could at most be considered a little overwhelming.

I chuckled softly and shook my head.

"Is that all you want to say?"

Louis frowned when he saw my attitude. "It seems you disagree with my words, Clark."

“Let's fight, okay? It's a waste of time.”

“Fight, yes. Actually, I don't want to fight you right now.I don't find any pleasure in bluffing someone who can barely walk. ”

"Oh? Really true?"

“You should have given up and made it easier for both of us.”

Inevitably I looked at Louis with an amused expression.

I then looked towards the emperor. "Can we start, Your Majesty?"

"Very good." The Emperor nodded, ignoring the frown on Louis' face. "Are you both ready?"

I nodded and looked at Louis. Louis looked at me as if he wanted to see my intentions.

"I'm ready, Your Majesty."

"Very good." Emperor nodded. “The two of you have shown that you are extraordinary talents from the empire, and no matter the result, I must say that I am proud of you both. However, only the winner can marry my daughter.

"Now, if you're ready, then start!"

"Good." Louis nodded. He then unsheathed his sword and walked towards me calmly. "I'll make it quick."

With a single step, his body disappeared from his position.

His figure flickered around the stage and suddenly appeared in front of me!

Then, his long sword pierced through the air, pointing towards my neck.

Seeing that, I took a step to the side calmly and extended my hand.

Second next-second

*TIIING!*

My fingers flicked his sword, deflecting the attack with ease.

Louis's eyes narrowed. A strong feeling of danger assaulted him, forcing him to jump back.

But when he saw me, he realized that I was still standing in the same position. It was as if his previous feelings were lies.

"… What was that?"

“Shocked?” I chuckled softly and started walking towards him.

Louis's face turned serious. Without hesitation, he unleashed his powerful sword intent and focused it on me.

A sharp sword intent pierced my skin as if countless needles were attacking me. At the same time, Louis' sword was swung towards me!

It was a normal downward sword slash, with nothing extraordinary on it. But when Louis executed it, it was as if all of his sword intent had gathered on the tip of his sword to cut my body in half.

"Dead!"

But-the

“Useful,” I said with a gentle smile, flicking the sword to the side once more.

“!!!”

Louis' expression turned startled. However, he recovered quickly, turning his slash down into a horizontal slash aimed at cutting my body in half.

Staying

*TIG!*

Again, his sword was rejected by my fingers.

And just like the previous moments, I flicked the sword as if it was just a toy.

"you.." Louis looked at me with a dumbfounded expression. In fact, everyone watching the battle looked at me in disbelief.

Although some of them were not strong enough to see our movements clearly, they could at least see that I fended off Louis' attack easily. It was so easy it looked like a child's game.

It was completely different from the expected result. I should have been pressured by Louis, fighting on the edge of defeat until Louis delivered the final blow.

But instead, I faced Louis's attack as if it was nothing.

“AAHHH!!”

Louis screaming. In an instant, his sword was filled with mana.

Then, countless sword shadows surged out from his sword, charging towards me in a storm of sword intent.

Moreover, Louis' sword advanced towards me at the same time, splitting the air with a buzzing sound.

Facing the attack, I waved my hand, creating a whirlwind of mana that swept across the sword shadow. Then, my other hand extended forward, grabbing Louis' sword easily.

“You... Impossible…! Your body…"

"Do you think I didn't notice the poison?" I said with a sarcastic smile with a tone that everyone in the arena could hear. "You underestimated me if you thought that I would fall for such an obvious trick."

"You ... You pretend all the time …"

"of course. Tell me, how does it feel to lose when you think everything is going according to your plan?” I said with a playful smile.

My words, however, were addressed to the crown prince.

And even though I couldn't see it, my sense of sight caught how he gritted his teeth in anger.

At the same time, the people around the arena looked at each other in confusion.

"Poisons?"

"What does that mean?"

"Louis tried to poison her?"

"What hina!!!"

Even the emperor furrowed his brows. But he said nothing. Anyway, there's no evidence.

He had just decided to investigate it after the battle.

Louis' eyes opened in panic. Although he was against the use of poison, it was a fact that he was related to it.

He hurriedly pulled back his sword and tried to attack me again to stop me from speaking.

However

"Just be free." I said, dodging his sword with gentle steps and extending my right hand to his chest.

*Bam!!!*

With a loud noise, Louis' body was thrown away.

Blood flowed out of his mouth, and his mana became a mess. His body bounced on the ground several times before finally stopping.

I then looked at the imperial family booth and focused on Alan with a small smile.

'What are you going to do now?' that's what my eyes seem to say.

Alan remained indifferent. He probably thought everything was still under his control.

But at that moment, a powerful mana came out of Louis' body.

Louis stood up from the ground and wiped the blood on his lips. Then, he looked at me with a savage expression.

"I haven't lost."

Immediately after, his mana exploded with a force greater than before.

To his astonishment, his aura surged up to layer 12!
