Chapter 1532 - Losing?

Soon, once the last blazing armament of Sophie"s current barrage shattered, she looked even more provoked. However, she suddenly stopped, causing Mu Bing to stop creating her thick icy walls.

"This power of my domain, the ability to create armaments out of one"s essence energy in one"s domain, isn"t anything new. However, no one, as far as I know, has reached a Perfect Domain with this type of balanced domain."

"Balanced?"

Mu Bing blinked upon hearing Sophie"s speech.

Wasn"t it an offensive-type domain?

Abruptly, flaming wisps began to emerge all over the surroundings again. It was the same scene before her blazing armaments conjured into existence. However, instead of her weapons, they were something else.

s.h.i.+elds, blocks, cauldrons, forging tables, bells, and many defensive armaments and artifacts abruptly conjured into existence, appearing like they had an incredible defensive capability.

"Maybe I need some thick crus.h.i.+ng ability to crush your ice walls, no? Hehe~"

Sophie licked her lips as she laughed.

"It"d be the same, so don"t bother. Hehe~"

Mu Bing also seemed to be enjoying this as she raised her hand.

Ice essence energy filled her surroundings as she instantly created an array of mirrors. No, the water in the ice was so pure that it was completely reflective, showing Sophie"s own image surrounded by her armaments, launching towards it.

*Boom!~*

*Boom!~*

*Boom!~*

Heavy thuds echoed as the flaming defensive armaments met the thick ice wall. The ice shattered and plunged as they disappeared while the remaining ice wall had deep dents. The icy blue water covering the ice wall managed to destroy most of Sophie"s defensive armaments, but they broke through the solidified icy blue water and half-destroyed the ice wall.

Clearly, it worked!

Mu Bing"s expression changed as she quickly summoned another wave of instant freezing icy blue water. The blazing defensive armaments that were bas.h.i.+ng the half-destroyed ice wall, creating more dents until it led to the other side, were quickly encased in icy blue water, turning into ice before shattering like their predecessors!

"Aiya!~ I was so close!"

She reached out her hands, and a ma.s.sive flame manifested into existence. However, it was nothing more than a brightly burning wisp as it began to take shape into an armament, bubbling like lava before it elongated.

*Shzzz!~*

A long blazing broadsword appeared in front of Sophie. It was about a hundred meters long and had a towering presence that left even the Ninth Stage Powerhouses wide-eyed.

The very outline and blade of the hundred-meter-long broadsword appeared realistic that left them feeling breath taken.

Just a while ago, the small inscriptions of Flame Laws imprinted on her small armaments were not clear, but at this moment, the thousands of inscriptions on the sword could be seen. However, it was still obscure to them as they couldn"t understand much.

Nonetheless, the inscriptionists and blacksmiths present in the guest hall had their eyes go wide!

"This girl...! She has mixed her comprehension of blacksmithing and inscriptions into her fire law domain!"

"This... This attack"s prowess is at the peak of the Low-Level Eighth Stage... No... somewhere in the middle...?"

"How is it possible!?"

Sophie"s bosoms shook even more while her expression looked like she had used up most of her essence energy for this attack.

"Top Disciple, Mu Bing. You were able to defend against my Hundred Armament Flame Drizzle and Thousand Armament Flame Rain, but are you able to defend against my Solitary Armament Flame Strike?"

Hearing Sophie"s speech, everyone"s mind trembled.

Could it be that it was going to be her last attack?

Davis became flabbergasted for another reason instead. Did she name her attacks just now? Because he sure hadn"t heard of it before from her.

Moreover, she hadn"t even named her domain, although it wasn"t compulsory, just like how certain powerhouses don"t want t.i.tles to their names or prefer names over t.i.tles.

Mu Bing took a deep breath as she looked at the monstrous broadsword pointing at her. It absolutely gave her the s.h.i.+vers, perceiving it to be capable of killing her in one strike if she wasn"t wearing a protective artifact that would activate upon reacting to her life being in danger.

She slowly raised her hands before her rosy lips moved.

"Ice Smiting Aurora~"

The front quarter of her domain superimposed with Sophie"s was instantly covered by a resplendent blue light before it shone radiantly, like an aurora.

At this moment, Sophie released her mighty broadsword. It shot forward with such momentum that it created booming sounds of tearing the air apart.

However, the s.p.a.ce in front appeared as if it was muddy.

The aurora was icy-blue in color as it slowly swayed in s.p.a.ce. The moment the long broadsword pa.s.sed through, it didn"t seem to have received any effect as it pa.s.sed through that zone and neared Mu Bing.

The Mystic Ice Sect Sect Master practically stood up, wanting to save Mu Bing, but then, she saw the imposing hundred-meter-long broadsword slow down as if it were being weighed down by something. The flames scorching over it began to fade away before the broadsword was suddenly encased in ice!

The tip of the broadsword was just a few meters away from Mu Bing. She looked absolutely unshaken as she waved her hand, an icicle shooting from her palm as it stabbed a tiny part of Sophie"s imposing and towering broadsword.

*Crack!~*

*Boom!~*

Their domains trembled as the long broadsword abruptly exploded into millions of tiny icy particles, creating a wave of chill air that instantly cooled the entirety of the Grand Wedding Hall!

It was a beautiful and stunning scenery which made the eyes of the guests s.h.i.+ne like jewels as they took that deep whiff of cold air, some even wanting to smell the scent of Beauty Mu Bing in it before they coughed, finding that it froze their throats.

The two beauties looked so unquestionably beautiful in the world of icy shards, making them appear as if they were from an illusionary world. Davis also felt smitten with Sophie at this moment. She just looked too good.

Nevertheless, Sophie heaved a heavy sigh before she clasped her hands.

"That was my strongest attack, Top Disciple Mu Bing. You have my utmost respect for being able to defend against it."

"I"m honored."

Mu Bing subconsciously replied without missing a beat, but a deep smile that remained on her face said that she was savoring this battle as much as her opponent did.

*Woahh!~~~*

The crowd erupted in an uproar as they saw the two fairies acknowledge each other. It was a delicious sight for their sore eyes. They looked like little kids seeing their idols interact with each other in excitement.

Sophie wryly giggled.

"Well, I still have around forty percent of my essence energy left. However, I wanted to overpower your defense and defeat you. Not through other skills. Therefore, I admit defeat, Mu Bing."

"..."

The crowd became silent. Their laughter and boisterous atmosphere slowly died down, leaving the Grand Wedding Hall to appear as if it was desolate.

Everyone was dumbfounded with their mouths agape.

Did Sophie Alstreim just surrender?

Mu Bing"s eyes were also wide. However, she regained her composure before she answered.

"If that"s what you want, then I accept your surrender. You have my full respect, Sophie Alstreim. Getting here was not easy."

"It certainly isn"t!~"

Sophie giggled before she left, not even waiting for Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim"s announcement because even he looked quite shook by this abrupt surrender.

Sophie returned to her place with Davis. She stood before him before she pursed her lips and asked through soul transmission.

"Are you disappointed...?"

Davis appeared amused.

"Of course not. You probably surrendered knowing that some person would target you while you need to have some energy to fight back, no?"

Sophie wryly laughed, thinking that she couldn"t hide her thoughts from him.

Davis shook his head as his voice echoed out.

"There was no need for that, but still a good call. I admit that you learned from the mistakes you made during your solo expedition to the Hundred Devil Thunder Archipelago, Sophie. Seems like you don"t need my help anymore."

"Ah~ Please don"t mention that~"

Sophie quickly became embarra.s.sed as she hid her face with her palms.

She didn"t want to recall that embarra.s.sing moment of being captured by magical beasts to be presented to the dead Weiss Alstreim as a tribute. At that time, she did not prepare for contingencies, but she knew when to quit this time.

The ones who heard it had their expression change.

Did something happen between them in the Hundred Devil Thunder Archipelago? Their minds churned with numerous images of Davis pressing down on Sophie.

"...?"

Davis could suddenly feel ill-intent on him all over again, but he just ignored it. However, he blinked before he turned to look back at the person who stood up.

On the battle platform, Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim had just announced Mu Bing"s victory.

Mu Bing had just started to leave when she abruptly stopped.

"Top Disciple Mu Bing."

She turned to look at the owner of the voice and was suddenly taken aback.

Nora Alstreim? No, it was another woman who looked similar to her.

It was none other than Niera Alstreim.

"Someone I know said that every domain is different, even if they"re at a similar level. Fortunately for you, Sophie"s focus was on blacksmithing, not battling even though she loves it. However, unfortunately for you, I pride myself in having an offensive prowess no one came close to as far as I know..."

Mu Bing narrowed her eyes.

"My ice can defend against anything of similar level in this world..."

"Pompous words. Let"s see if you are skilled enough to back it up~"

Niera stepped on the battle platform as she pointed her hands at Mu Bing!

"I challenge you to a battle, Top Disciple Mu Bing of the Mystic Ice Sect!"

*Bzzzz!~*

A crimson-colored domain erupted from the unknown blonde-haired woman, extending to the same three and a half kilometers, causing everyone"s expression to become dumbfounded as they could feel its extraordinary might.

One expert"s eyes even fell out of their sockets, making the others who noticed scream before they discovered that those fallen eyes were fake.

"... Another Perfect Domain...?"

This time, Ancestor Gong Kim-Il looked both dumbfounded and listless to express his disbelief. His tired voice also echoed along with the others.

Truly... what the h.e.l.l was going on in the Alstreim Family!?
