A Demon's Journey

308 Medallion

Tiana moved from her spot and threw Ice Rocks in Philip's direction.

Philip sneered when he saw those large Ice Rocks heading for him. He spoke with a cold snort, "The same trick won't work twice."

He raised his halberd, which released a strong electric charge that struck all the Ice Rocks heading for him.

This was the same discharge technique. But it was more controlled this time.

All the Ice Rocks heading for him were instantly annihilated, and Tiana's position was revealed.

Without waiting any longer, Philip rushed towards Tiana and pierced her with his Halberd.

The Blue Lightning Element was growing stronger as time passed. Its power had nearly doubled since the beginning of the battle.

This was something Tiana had failed to notice. She was more focused on gathering enough Ardor to launch a decisive attack at him.

Tiana didn't know that Azaroth's consciousness was already awake within her Mystical Spiritual Connection Ring. He was analyzing Philip's bloodline in this battle.

He noticed that only Philip's Lightning Element had been strengthened by his Royal Bloodline, not his Ardor.

There was a massive difference between the two abilities. This suggested many kinds of possibilities.

'Even the Royal Bloodline from the same family tree would have lots of diversity. Black Hurricane could strengthen his entire Ardor. However, Philip can only empower his element. It means that Philip's understanding or his bloodline isn't as good as Black Hurricane.'

'Also, his body is trembling even though his element is only twice as strong. At the most, he can only strengthen his element by 2.5 times, but he can't use his Blue Lightning Drive or else his muscles would tear or burn.'

Azaroth knew that this limit might be because Philip was only a 4 Star Warrior. It might increase once he advances to a 5 Star Warrior. There was a qualitative difference between the Spiritual and Physical strength between a 4 Star Warrior and a 5 Star Warrior.

Even as strong as Noah was, he couldn't fight against a 5 Star Warrior, let alone win against one.

A Royal Bloodline was no exception. The ones Azaroth had seen couldn't overcome the huge gap between a 4 Star Warrior and a 5 Star Warrior.

Anyway, the battle between Tiana and Philip continued on for another 10 minutes or so. Tiana could barely keep her distance from Philip while Philip tried his best to reduce the gap between them and make it a close combat battle.

And if this continued for any longer, Philip would defeat Tiana.

Azaroth was now wondering whether he should take action and make Tiana defeat Philip or not. It would have benefits and drawbacks.

Frankly, the drawbacks would be great enough that Azaroth would have to take personal action if Philip wanted to kill her. Yet, it would become increasingly difficult for Tiana to return to the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect.

This sixth prince could have his guards or other 5 Star Warriors gang up on Tiana and bombard her with their attacks.

Within this Mystical Spiritual Connection Ring, only Azaroth's spiritual consciousness dwelt. Even if he used up all of his power, he could only withstand those blows for a few seconds. After that, Tiana would be on her own.

Thus, Azaroth decided to not take personal action and sent a command to Tiana 'Forfeit after you have used all your Ardor.'

Tiana was surprised to hear Azaroth's voice in her mind so suddenly. But she faintly nodded with a grim expression on her face.

Philip had thought she was sending him a signal and sent a nod back. He had greatly misunderstood the signal.

Philip suddenly assumed a weird posture, taking a step back with his left leg and facing Tiana with his right side of the body.

Tiana was confused upon seeing Philip take such a weird stance. Suddenly, she saw a lot of Philip's Ardor gathering in his Halberd.

"<strong>Piercing Heart Blow!</strong>" The muscles on Philip's left arm suddenly expanded to double the size as he whispered the name of this skill.

The Blue Lightning Drive immediately vanished as it was concentrated over his Halberd. The gems on his Halberd began to shine with purple light as the Blue Lightning turned into Purple-Blue Lightning.

This was the energy stored within his Halberd and was the most concentrated form of his Blue Lightning.

Tiana sensed and saw an aura that made her feel as if she was about to die.

However, backing down at this point didn't seem like an option. The look in Philip's eyes showed her that he was not going to miss.

And judging from Philip's strength and speed, it was going to be a very quick throw.

This ultra-quick attack would be over within a single second, giving Tiana no time to dodge it.

Tiana decided that now was the time to act until Philip had released that attack.

"<strong>Ice Breath!</strong>" She released this skill while breathing out Ice at Philip.

This was considered an Ancient Skill that Azaroth taught her after her throat was trained with special training.

Philip's eyes widened when he noticed this Ice Breath freezing his muscles and even cooling them down.

His bloated muscles on his left arm began to shrink a little due to this cold ice. In a sense, his muscles were cooling down, and Philip's body was suddenly hit with a wave of fatigue.

However, Philip's mind remained calm. He used more of his Ardor to maintain his form and continued empowering his Halberd and making his technique stronger.

After a couple of seconds, Tiana was out of Ardor. She stopped with the Ice Breath, and even Philip was curious what she was going to do.

"I forfeit," Tiana spoke loudly and clearly.

The audience, the referee, the special guests, her opponent, her friends, and even the supervisors heard her words clearly. However, all of them shared a single emotion right now. This emotion was confusion.

They were utterly puzzled as they wondered just why Tiana would give up so suddenly. None of them thought that Tiana had run out of Ardor right now.

Philip actually thought that his subordinates had threatened Tiana to give up. She hadn't even used that special energy against him.

He had been prepared to deal with that Special Energy. But unfortunately, Tiana had never used it. She had given up without even utilizing it.

Meanwhile, the audience felt that something fishy was going on. Maybe Philip had actually threatened Tiana and asked her to give up.

The audience soon began to talk among themselves about how Philip was using his Royal Status to force Tiana to give up. They felt that this Tournament was fixed to let Philip win. Their disappointment was immeasurable.

However, Tiana decided to clear all these doubts and spoke, "I can't use that skill today. There are special conditions to activate it. If I could, I would have definitely defeated you. I have just exhausted all my Ardor, and it would take some time for me to recover it with my Cultivation Technique."

Those words relieved Philip and the audience quite a bit.

"Thank you for this battle today, Sixth Prince," Tiana spoke with a respectful tone.

"You can call me Philip. You were a wonderful opponent. I have been looking forward to you utilizing that special skill you possessed that would increase your strength. But it can't be helped if there are special conditions for you to activate it," Philip replied.

"This is my medallion. As long as you hold this medallion, none of my subordinates will ever stop you," Philip spoke as he threw a Golden Medallion in Tiana's direction.

Tiana raised her hand and grabbed that Golden Medallion. She was internally excited as she realized that she had accomplished her task now. It would be extremely easy to recruit those women possessing Ice Physique.
