Trevor got off the stage and looked at the referee before saying.
"I also gave up on the next game."
It means a fight between him and Nicholas. He is not in the fighting stage now and he needs a lot of time to recover.
Nicholas went up on stage and said to Sam.
"Do you need time to recover your strength?"
"No."
"Good." Nicholas smiled and pulled out his spear. He released his aura from the level 3 Great realm warrior completely. He did not even have the mind to start slow. He had already played that game with Sam before and now all he needed was an all-out battle.
Sam also took out the reaper and released his aura. Anyone could tell that he was a Great Tier 1 natural cultivator.
But his strength must be more than that.
Sam looked at Nicholas and with a grin made his first move.
Swords and spears clashed as the two moved like lightning. Sam is actually surprised that Nicholas can catch up to his speed.
Of all the battle methods and techniques that could be used, speed was difficult to resist.
If speed and control were combined, it would be even harder to fight back.
Sam used speed to attack everyone earlier to finish the battle more efficiently without wasting time.
But it won't work anymore.
This time, Sam had not used any elemental techniques from the start, he wanted to estimate just how much he could handle Nicholas in pure warrior mode.
Their battle, became increasingly intense. Nicholas had a wide grin on his face that grew wider as the battle progressed.
The remaining candidates could not keep up with their movements, all they could see was one blood red and another silver cold ray with many blurry images.
Their fight did not seem to be at the same level as them. The people who fight seem to be in a different league. Only Trevor has clarity throughout the scene.
Even the judges could not help but be fascinated. The fight of the two young people made them stir.
As the sword and spear collided continuously for two minutes, both of them were finally struck.
Sam and Nicholas both took a step back. Nicholas sustained some damage as the sword left a small wound on the shoulder, on the other hand, Sam was unharmed, the reason being none other than a fur coat.
The spear failed to pierce through the mantle and all he took was the heaviest force, a sharp stab unable to injure it.
"I haven't had fun like this in a long time." Nicholas said as he turned his spear once and moved again.
He jumped at Sam while shouting.
"You'd better fight me with everything you've got, or you'll regret it."
Sam didn't answer anything, but he had fun too. He had also not felt much pressure in the battle since he had come. Every battle he won with extraordinary strength or intelligence. This type of direct confrontation was rare for him.
He also took a step forward and swung the sword, but this time he started to use wind element energy.
That's right, although Sam had always been able to fight someone with a higher cultivation, Nicholas was also able to do so. So, against a guy like Nicholas, Sam had a hard time with just warrior mode even including body strength.
This was because of the level difference, if he was on the same level as Nicholas, he was pretty sure he could win.
But now it was difficult, he would use elemental energy, after all it was his ability and there was nothing wrong in using it.
As they clashed, Sam's sword aura became sharper due to the increase in the wind element.
Each movement became more deadly as not only was the swing of the sword itself dangerous now even the tail wind from each swing was also sharp enough to make Nicholas feel threatened.
The battle became more violent. Nicholas slowly collects the damage. Although Sam's attack was not on a large scale, he still faced some problems due to his repeated and continuous attacks.
Sam's not having fun either. Nicholas noticed that the fur coat was very difficult to penetrate, but it also gave him the remaining parts that were completely exposed to attack. So, his attack space was reduced but he was not discouraged at all.
Sam shaved at least three times and there was one stab in his chest.
But the one who was surprised was Nicholas himself. He could not penetrate deeper into the chest. Sam's muscles and skin were so dense that if he didn't make a full-strength attack, all of his other attacks wouldn't finish Sam off, he would be able to return easily.
Both are enjoying the fight. This battle had no conspicuous movements like the one that happened to Trevor, no high-level elemental control and large-scale spells. All that was present was the constant pressure of potential danger and a high-level test to their senses and battle instincts.
This was not only a battle of strength and techniques but also for their will. The first person to step back and show a hint of fear will be finished off.
They are on the extreme edge.
As the two fought, the audience also grew more interested and immersed in their fight. They are really interested in this fight.
Sam only used the wind element; he did not dare to use any other element because he was afraid that if he added another one and if he lost control of the rhythm for a second, he would lose. He didn't dare give Nicholas a chance.
As the two candidates fought at that extreme boundary, the audience saw something incredible that they would probably never forget in their lives.
The fighting spirit of the two young people began to be conjured into a form, that of magic fighting spirit.
Both battle spirits would soon be formed at the same time. On Nicholas' side, they could see the silhouette of a four-legged animal, which was quite common because most of the human fighting styles were driven from animals and because the fighting spirit was a form created by nature, he said, they will always show you something related to it. The wild.
But on Sam's side, they saw something different. It was a silhouette that they had never seen in their lives or even the herd, not even the Duke and General knew what it was.
But as they waited for the two figures to be conjured up so that they could witness a miracle, the battle suddenly changed.
Nicholas, who received the most damage from both of them finally could not survive and suffered a critical injury in this shoulder. Sam repeatedly targeted that area so he could have an easier time and now due to the accumulated damage from that small wound on the shoulder, he could not endure the pain and effects of blood loss.
Sam is not on a very good level either. He also had several small injuries on his chest, stomach, legs, wrists, there was even a small wound on his nape.
But he did not fail to take this chance and threw out a few strikes with his sword. The four sword rays came towards Nicholas one by one from where he dodged the two but could not help but take the remaining two.
He had a deep cut on his chest, and before he could hold his wound, Sam came forward and put a sword on Nicholas' neck.
"You lost." Sam said while panting. This was the toughest one-on-one fight without the tricks and external factors he had since he came to this world. It reminded him of his past from his previous life.
Nicholas used his spear to prop himself up, refusing to fall down and looking straight into Sam's eyes with a grin on his face.
"I think I managed to survive."
Only then did Sam pull back his sword and the two collapsed on the stage simultaneously. They don't lose consciousness, they just want to rest.
"More times, I'll beat you."
Nicholas said in a soft voice.
"You can keep dreaming, next time I'll beat you with no elements at all."
Sam gave an answer that showed that he did not want to lose, this rarely happened to Sam who was cold-faced and cold-hearted. He usually doesn't reply or like this type of banter.
But this time, he did.
He lay on the stage as he looked at the clear sky. Today he feels very alive. His heart is full of spirit.
This feeling reminded him of the words of one of his closest people in his previous life.
"No matter how many things you master or how many titles you achieve, remember Sam, you will always be a warrior and the battle is the only place you feel most alive. Even if you don't like it, or deny it, that's the truth."
Sam has always loved his identity as a creator and inventor, which gave him the opportunity to explore and learn. But it was only an escape for most of his previous life. After all, he spent half of his life on the battlefield and among the corpses. Even if he did not like it, the quality was ingrained in his heart and soul and he was unable to deny or avoid it. He had only one choice and that was to accept it and stay alive."
