"It is indeed impressive that you can see through my disguise, but do you have the strength to contend with me?"
As the Eminence in Shadow's words fell, a bolt of lightning struck.
It landed right behind the Eminence in Shadow.
The lightning illuminated the Eminence in Shadow's figure.
The atmosphere was perfectly set.
"This is amazing! As expected of my partner, the Eminence in Shadow! This lightning appeared at just the right moment!" Sid was ecstatic.
The five stood in a circle, surrounding the Eminence in Shadow.
Beatrice was the first to charge forward, sword in hand.
The Eminence in Shadow parried with his sword.
Alexia launched a sneak attack from behind the Eminence in Shadow.
The Eminence in Shadow didn't even look at Alexia. While repelling Beatrice with one strike, he continued to swing his slime sword and turned around. Just as Alexia reached him, his demonic sword perfectly blocked Alexia's attack.
At the same time, he repelled Alexia.
"Alice swung her blade and charged forward!"
Princess Rose also launched an attack.
The Eminence in Shadow moved at an incredibly fast speed, appearing before Alice and kicking her sword, sending her sprawling to the ground.
He raised his hand and swung his sword to block above him.
Milia had appeared above the Eminence in Shadow at some point.
Princess Rose seized this opportunity to attack.
Like Alexia, Princess Rose didn't understand why the phantom wanted them to do such things.
But as subordinates, they could only obey orders, not question why.
Milia, however, had no such thoughts; she would only obey and not think about why it was being done.
Everything the phantom said was correct; Milia would only comply.
Alice, on the other hand, was fighting to protect her country. The Eminence in Shadow, this reckless individual, was an enemy of the King of Midgar.
Of course, she didn't know that Sino was the phantom. If she did, it would probably be very painful for her.
Princess Rose's strength was also not weak.
She had undergone special training with Epsilon during this period, and her strength had grown very quickly.
Her strength was basically on par with Alexia, as her foundation was much better than Alexia's.
The Eminence in Shadow repelled Milia and then swung his sword behind him, blocking Princess Rose's attack.
Princess Alice felt a deep sense of powerlessness; she was the weakest one present.
Beatrice, the War God, was even stronger than Alexia and Princess Rose.
Beatrice attacked again. The Eminence in Shadow dodged the attack and leaped to the highest point of the audience stands.
None of the people present were using overly strong magic, as that could easily affect the audience.
"Can you keep up with my speed?"
All four chased after him.
Alice did not follow.
Alice saw the ancient relic, the demonic sword.
"To protect this country!"
Alice ran over and picked up the demonic sword.
"Father, I will definitely protect this country!" Alice said to her father.
She picked up the demonic sword and chased after them.
Sino also disappeared from the audience stands.
The Eminence in Shadow arrived at the top of a tall building.
Beatrice, leading the charge, chased after him.
She gathered her magic and slashed with her sword.
Their blades clashed. The Eminence in Shadow suddenly flashed, appearing behind Beatrice.
Beatrice immediately turned and blocked.
Milia suddenly appeared behind the Eminence in Shadow.
The Eminence in Shadow used his left hand to pull out a crowbar and blocked Milia's attack.
The slime sword in his right hand suddenly disappeared, and with incredible speed, he grabbed Beatrice's sword-wielding right hand, throwing her entirely.
She flew directly towards Alexia.
Alexia reluctantly had to dodge. She wasn't used to using her left-hand sword, and there was no time to sheathe it. If she didn't dodge, Beatrice would be injured.
Beatrice adjusted her center of gravity in the air, allowing herself to land steadily.
Princess Rose assisted Milia in attacking the Eminence in Shadow.
The Eminence in Shadow wielded the crowbar, swinging it with extreme speed, playing it better than nunchaku, single-handedly suppressing Milia and Princess Rose.
"Eminence in Shadow, take this!"
Princess Alice shouted, slashing at the Eminence in Shadow with a sword glowing with red light.
The Eminence in Shadow sidestepped, kicking Alice away.
Alice regained her balance and landed steadily.
"I didn't expect you to use an ancient relic too!"
Alice became even angrier at these words.
But she now had to admit that she was weak.
Even Princess Rose was now stronger than her.
"As long as I can defeat you!"
"Quite a change!" the Eminence in Shadow said.
The group continuously siegethe Eminence in Shadow, but they couldn't even scratch him.
Everyone fought and moved at the same time.
They basically fought a circuit around the rooftops of the royal capital.
Eventually, they returned to the Martial Heart Festival arena.
Alice was almost at her limit now.
Although the ancient relic was powerful, it consumed a lot of magic.
"Everyone, I will use my life to create an opportunity for you; I'm counting on you!"
"Alright!" Beatrice replied.
At this moment, magic surged around Beatrice as she began to charge her ultimate move.
White magic emanated around her.
Alexia gripped her sword, focusing all her magic into her demonic sword.
Princess Rose did the same.
Only Milia remained unmoved.
It wasn't that she couldn't charge; it was that she gathered magic very quickly and didn't need such a troublesome process.
Alice, like a madwoman, recklessly unleashed her magic and slashed.
There were still many spectators in the arena. When some were about to be affected, Claire appeared.
She swung her demonic sword, blocking the attacks that would have reached the audience.
Members of the Crimson Knight Order began to arrange for the evacuation of the crowd.
At this moment, thunder roared, and lightning flashed.
A storm was coming.
Sino picked up an umbrella and came to Claire's side.
"Sister, aren't you going to help?"
"I only want to protect you! Besides, I'm not his match anyway!" Claire said.
Claire was confident that she could protect Sino in this situation.
"Oh, by the way, where's Sid?" Claire asked.
"He probably ran off with everyone else. You know him, he likes to go with the flow!"
Claire thought for a moment. Sid indeed often did the same things as most people.
He was unremarkable, very ordinary.
