Chapter 532 Roman frowned, noticing that he was no longer able to hit the girl.
The audience also noticed this change and began to support the blonde even more fiercely.
Clinton added the fifth tentacle, but all in vain. He used the sixth, seventh and even eighth, but could not touch the girl in any way! She jumped on the appendages, as if on icy steps, and sometimes danced between them, like a professional rhythmic gymnast.
{WHAT'S GOING ON?!} – Roman was seriously scared. His every action seemed to be predicted in advance. The guy felt like a puppet in the power of his wife-puppeteer.
{I see… I see everything…} – Juno's lips curved into a gambling smirk. Her ability to read the soul's intentions seemed to have improved dramatically. Previously, the enemy had to be in close proximity, and even so, the girl could only read his movements for a second ahead, but not the elemental energy. Now everything is different! In other words, now the blonde knew all the movements of the water tentacles in advance. It's like a caterpillar turned into a butterfly and learned to fly – that's how much the ability has improved.
«W-what's going on?!» … «She's dodging all the attacks! How is this possible?!» … «Did she pretend before?!» … «Of course not! She just learned to read the movements of Mr. Roman! Here it is, the power of the heavenly genius who defeated the archmaster!»
Kyon frowned: {Has her unique innate ability evolved? Is it because of the fight? Or maybe because of sex?} – he remembered that he had sex with Valeera every day, but her invisibility did not get better, so he doubted.
«How do you do it?!» – Roman wheezed, as if not in his own voice, waving his arms madly. All ten tentacles tried to grab the girl, but they could not.
A blue sphere flashed in Juno's hand. The air in the arena became so cold that the surface was covered with a crust of frost. Everyone felt how the energy of cold was concentrated in the girl's hand in the form of the sphere. When the power of "The Essence of Destruction" reached its peak, the lady with an icy gleam in her eyes headed towards her opponent.
«D-don't come near me! Go awa-ay!» – Roman shouted in fright, throwing up his hands.
Ten geysers poured onto Juno, they were able to demolish even a small mountain, but the girl just ran along them, as if she was walking along a forest path, creating tiny platforms of ice under her feet, until she got close to the goal…
~FUU-UUU-UUSH~
"The Essence of Destruction", colliding with "The Water Squid", instantly exploded, releasing all the cold energy stored inside. The five-meter luminous squid with Roman inside instantly froze, crackled and crumbled into blocks of ice. All the water spilled around the area inexplicably froze in the form of beautiful ice crystals.
The spectators opened their mouths in shock and bulged their eyes. The girl, inferior by 8 stages, destroyed the most powerful water technique of the Clintons with one blow! A minute ago, no one believed in her victory, but suddenly everything changed.
The recoil from the destruction of the technique hit Roman, which made him turn pale and stagger tiredly, but when he saw the enraged fury rushing towards him, the guy with horror on his face activated the ultimate technique of his unique body to prevent the blonde from getting to him…
Steam escaped from Clinton, throwing the approaching girl ten meters away. In the blink of an eye, an impenetrable fog filled the arena, an ordinary person would immediately be boiled alive from its high temperature. As for the creator of the technique, he felt like a god under this burning cover.
Juno protected herself from the flow of hot steam with cold in advance, but even so her palms were badly burned. Looking around, the girl realized that she did not see anything, and her scanning was very limited. She had a feeling of deja vu. Something similar was created by her sandy opponent at the tournament of families, and what was the result? He's dead now!
{What a pity, I can feel you without any scanning!} – there was hatred with shades of sadism in the blonde's eyes. The lady created another sphere of "The Essence of Destruction" in her hand, this time consisting of ether. Thick sparks of lightning echoed with a roar, causing the steam-covered arena to sparkle like a thundercloud.
Since it took almost all the remaining energy to create the technique, Juno needed to end the fight immediately, so she ran to the enemy without delay.
{How does she know my location?!} – dumbfounded Roman created several steam clones that ideally copied his appearance, and tried to confuse the girl with them, but she did not pay any attention to them, as if she knew that they were not dangerous.
Gradually Juno drove the weakened opponent into a corner – to the barrier.
When his wife was at a distance of ten meters from him, Roman, terrified to death, barked: «Don't come near me!» – and launched a three-meter-thick steam geyser at the girl, capable of evaporating all the flesh even from a lord phaser at the peaking stage. If such a stream hits the target, it will be much more dangerous than a jet of heat and wind.
After reading the opponent, Juno jumped aside, and then, when her husband redirected the geyser, jumped over it and finally hit the hated bastard with a sphere…
~CR-RR-R-RUNCH~
There was a deafening crack of lightning. The impenetrable cloud inside the barrier glowed like the sun, and then there were dull thuds in the flesh. It seemed like someone was making a chop out of meat.
The spectators rose from their seats in an attempt to see at least something.
The imperial representative picked up the judges' gestures and deactivated the protective barrier. A dense layer of steam rushed into the sky, and people saw how a sobbing Juno, sitting on Roman's stomach, beat him on the head with her fists. His teeth scattered across the arena, and his handsome face quickly turned into a bloody mess. The guy just howled something unintelligible.
«I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! How dare you marry me without my consent?! How dare you **** me?! How dare you take away my innocence?! Bring it back!» – Juno's voice resembled a mosquito's squeak, so no one could hear the doom and heartbreaking grief in it.
«MY BOY!» – Roman's mother squealed in horror and rushed into the arena.
However, the woman was immediately stopped by imperial guards.
The imperial representative separated the two "quarreling" newlyweds and announced the winner: «Juno Clinton won and goes to the fifth round! Bravo!»
There was dead silence for a few seconds. Nobody could believe in the girl's victory. But soon the stands literally exploded with loud applause. No one cared about the strange expressions on the Clintons' faces. People's hearts were beating fast with joy. The one for whom everyone was rooting, but no one believed in her success, won!
Bai's cheeks were wet with tears. He clapped so hard that his palms took on the same reddish hue as his eyes.
Elsa felt great pride in her sister, although she did not show it outwardly.
Juno, wearily hanging her head and occasionally sobbing, left the arena. Beating Roman made her feel much better, but her hatred for him did not subside at all. And even if she had taken revenge on him in full, what next? What is lost cannot be returned. The feeling of loss won't go away. He took her innocence once and for all.
The applause lasted indecently long.
The imperial representative raised his hands, calming the audience, and announced the next duel: «Seraphima, the royal phaser at the finishing stage, against Clementine, the royal phaser at the finishing stage!»
Two beautiful girls entered the arena. Black hair and identical facial features – they had nothing else in common. One had golden eyes, pure snow-white skin and an impressive snow-white outfit - a combat kimono. While the other had brown eyes, tanned skin, obsidian piercings in the nostril and corners of the lips, and tight pants with black chains. If the first one gave the impression of a noble disciple of a great master with her manners, aura and appearance, the second one resembled a hooligan tomboy.
After the signal of the start of the fight, the two girls engaged in a fierce battle.
The first clash of blows created a rumble that took the audience by surprise. Many people jerked in fright, and the children even cried. Apparently, both girls were much stronger than Roman, at least by one, or even two stages.
The fight was gaining momentum. The techniques were getting more and more serious. The cracks often spread across the arena. It seemed that light and darkness passionately intertwined in a pair dance, fighting for power all over the world. The green glow of the spatial attribute flashed from each collision of attacks. No one was going to give in to the enemy.
The fight lasted a long time, and both girls looked extremely exhausted. Sweat was pouring from their faces. Their chests heaved from lack of air. Their hearts were drumming. The muscles were numb from exhaustion.
«Oh goddess, how strong they are! How cruel!» … «They are not inferior to each other in anything! Even in the recent tournament, they had the same number of points!» … «It's been a long time since I've seen such a fair fight!» … «Why are they fighting as if their lives are on the line? They won't take the first place anyway… Is it a matter of personal dislike?»
At the twentieth minute of the fight, both girls could hardly stand on their feet. Pulling themselves together, they roared and simultaneously struck each other in the faces with blows, from which both passed out.
The audience gasped in amazement.
The imperial representative studied the condition of the rivals and declared a draw.
People could not come to their senses for a long time, they had never seen a more epic duel. None of the girls was inferior to the other either in speed, or in combat skills, or in the power of techniques, or in willpower! And how did it all end? The draw!
The following words of the imperial representative brought the spectators out of their stupor: «The last quarterfinal match: Rose Valentine, the royal phaser at the finishing stage, against Dick Baker, the noble phaser at the middle stage! Greet the fighters!»
When Dick and Rose entered the arena, all the spectators, in particular the three princes of Liberia, felt relieved. This time Baker had an opponent, which means he would not go further!
A whole kaleidoscope of complex emotions was on the faces of Gina and Lana. They understood that watching the messenger of the goddess would only worsen their already bad condition, but there was nothing they could do about it. And now the heads of the sects unconsciously tried to see Zosimos in the fat, ugly young man, because they were not interested in all his other personalities at all.
{«Kyon, please don't humiliate Rose…»} – Elsa sent a telepathic signal. – {«He is suffering from some serious illness. He is very ill.»}
{«I will be as gentle with him as he is with other people's women.»}
{«What did you say?»} – asked Elsa, confused, but she did not hear the explanation.
{She's still worried about Rose… It's infuriating.} – Kyon was incredibly annoyed that such a rotten bastard got such an excellent girl. But now he knew that Elsa would be a wonderful faithful wife who would not leave her husband in a difficult moment. However, she still doesn't have a husband, and Valentine certainly won't become one.
Rose surreptitiously threw bloodthirsty glances at Dick. His hands were shaking from the desire to break the fat man's skull. Yes, killing is forbidden by the rules, but they won't punish the son of the patriarch for an accidental wave of his hand, right? However, Valentine knew that Baker was very cunning, he deceived the leader of the supreme succubi! He'll probably give up as soon as the fight starts. But it's worth a try.
The signal for the start of the match sounded.
The onlookers became quiet.
Rose was about to rush forward, when he suddenly froze, comically bulging his eyes.
A moment earlier, Kyon had sent a signal to the formation Albert had placed on the patient, which caused the medicine Valentine had previously taken to act.
{N-no, no-no, it can't be, not now!} – Rose's heart almost stopped. He felt his whole body tense to the limit, so much so that he could not even move a finger, and a hellish convulsive pain appeared in the lower abdomen.
Kyon clenched his fists and took a fighting stance, as if parodying some professional boxer, and, approaching the opponent, jumped from side to side, avoiding non-existent blows. And he did all this, not forgetting to beat the pretty blond right on the head, as if he were a training bag for him.
Half a million viewers froze. Their minds really could not comprehend what they saw, everything was so absurd and inadequate.
Elsa's jaw dropped.
«What's going on here?» – someone hoarsely asked a question, the answer to which literally everyone wanted to get at this moment.
«Stop giving in, let's fight!» – Kyon got "really" angry and pulled the guy's hair, but suddenly he pulled it out. As it turned out, Valentine was wearing a wig.
A completely bald, pale guy with a glazed look was still standing, doing nothing, only his grimace twisted with rage twitched nervously, as if he was a madman.
«Wig? Seriously?! Haha! Bald as a baby's backside! Bald-headed hermit!» – speaking loudly, Kyon continued to beat the paralyzed guy on the bald head.
The stupid children, who did not understand what was happening now, laughed. Their reaction sobered the others, and people started asking the right questions: «Why does Valentine give in?!» … «Did the Valentines take a bribe from the Bakers to humiliate their young master at the tournament?!» … «This is nonsense! What's going on?!»
Viewers with the surname Valentine did not know where to go from shame and humiliation.
Grandmaster Yan, red as a tomato, shivered as if with fever. Did he teach his student to be a clown?! To be clumsily beaten for the amusement of the audience?!
But Elsa suffered the most. Her eyes watered with shame and disappointment.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

He clapped so hard that his palms took on the same reddish hue as his eyes.Elsa felt great pride in her sister, although she did not show it outwardly.Juno, wearily hanging her head and occasionally sobbing, left the arena. Beating Roman made her feel much better, but her hatred for him did not subside at all. And even if she had taken revenge on him in full, what next? What is lost cannot be returned. The feeling of loss won't go away. He took her innocence once and for all.The applause lasted indecently long.The imperial representative raised his hands, calming the audience, and announced the next duel: Seraphima, the royal phaser at the finishing stage, against Clementine, the royal phaser at the finishing stage!Two beautiful girls entered the arena. Black hair and identical facial features they had nothing else in common. One had golden eyes, pure snow-white skin and an impressive snow-white outfit - a combat kimono. While the other had brown eyes, tanned skin, obsidian piercings in the nostril and corners of the lips, and tight pants with black chains. If the first one gave the impression of a noble disciple of a great master with her manners, aura and appearance, the second one resembled a hooligan tomboy.After the signal of the start of the fight, the two girls engaged in a fierce battle.The first clash of blows created a rumble that took the audience by surprise. Many people jerked in fright, and the children even cried. Apparently, both girls were much stronger than Roman, at least by one, or even two stages.The fight was gaining momentum. The techniques were getting more and more serious. The cracks often spread across the arena. It seemed that light and darkness passionately intertwined in a pair dance, fighting for power all over the world. The green glow of the spatial attribute flashed from each collision of attacks. No one was going to give in to the enemy. The fight lasted a long time, and both girls looked extremely exhausted. Sweat was pouring from their faces. Their chests heaved from lack of air. Their hearts were drumming. The muscles were numb from exhaustion.Oh goddess, how strong they are! How cruel! They are not inferior to each other in anything! Even in the recent tournament, they had the same number of points! It's been a long time since I've seen such a fair fight! Why are they fighting as if their lives are on the line? They won't take the first place anyway Is it a matter of personal dislike?At the twentieth minute of the fight, both girls could hardly stand on their feet. Pulling themselves together, they roared and simultaneously struck each other in the faces with blows, from which both passed out.The audience gasped in amazement.The imperial representative studied the condition of the rivals and declared a draw.People could not come to their senses for a long time, they had never seen a more epic duel. None of the girls was inferior to the other either in speed, or in combat skills, or in the power of techniques, or in willpower! And how did it all end? The draw!The following words of the imperial representative brought the spectators out of their stupor: The last quarterfinal match: Rose Valentine, the royal phaser at the finishing stage, against Dick Baker, the noble phaser at the middle stage! Greet the fighters!When Dick and Rose entered the arena, all the spectators, in particular the three princes of Liberia, felt relieved. This time Baker had an opponent, which means he would not go further!A whole kaleidoscope of complex emotions was on the faces of Gina and Lana. They understood that watching the messenger of the goddess would only worsen their already bad condition, but there was nothing they could do about it. And now the heads of the sects unconsciously tried to see Zosimos in the fat, ugly young man, because they were not interested in all his other personalities at all.{Kyon, please don't humiliate Rose} Elsa sent a telepathic signal. {He is suffering from some serious illness. He is very ill.}{I will be as gentle with him as he is with other people's women.}{What did you say?} asked Elsa, confused, but she did not hear the explanation.{She's still worried about Rose It's infuriating.} Kyon was incredibly annoyed that such a rotten bastard got such an excellent girl. But now he knew that Elsa would be a wonderful faithful wife who would not leave her husband in a difficult moment. However, she still doesn't have a husband, and Valentine certainly won't become one.Rose surreptitiously threw bloodthirsty glances at Dick. His hands were shaking from the desire to break the fat man's skull. Yes, killing is forbidden by the rules, but they won't punish the son of the patriarch for an accidental wave of his hand, right? However, Valentine knew that Baker was very cunning, he deceived the leader of the supreme succubi! He'll probably give up as soon as the fight starts. But it's worth a try.The signal for the start of the match sounded.The onlookers became quiet.Rose was about to rush forward, when he suddenly froze, comically bulging his eyes.A moment earlier, Kyon had sent a signal to the formation Albert had placed on the patient, which caused the medicine Valentine had previously taken to act. {N-no, no-no, it can't be, not now!} Rose's heart almost stopped. He felt his whole body tense to the limit, so much so that he could not even move a finger, and a hellish convulsive pain appeared in the lower abdomen.Kyon clenched his fists and took a fighting stance, as if parodying some professional boxer, and, approaching the opponent, jumped from side to side, avoiding non-existent blows. And he did all this, not forgetting to beat the pretty blond right on the head, as if he were a training bag for him.Half a million viewers froze. Their minds really could not comprehend what they saw, everything was so absurd and inadequate.Elsa's jaw dropped.What's going on here? someone hoarsely asked a question, the answer to which literally everyone wanted to get at this moment.Stop giving in, let's fight! Kyon got "really" angry and pulled the guy's hair, but suddenly he pulled it out. As it turned out, Valentine was wearing a wig.A completely bald, pale guy with a glazed look was still standing, doing nothing, only his grimace twisted with rage twitched nervously, as if he was a madman.Wig? Seriously?! Haha! Bald as a baby's backside! Bald-headed hermit! speaking loudly, Kyon continued to beat the paralyzed guy on the bald head.The stupid children, who did not understand what was happening now, laughed. Their reaction sobered the others, and people started asking the right questions: Why does Valentine give in?! Did the Valentines take a bribe from the Bakers to humiliate their young master at the tournament?! This is nonsense! What's going on?!Viewers with the surname Valentine did not know where to go from shame and humiliation.Grandmaster Yan, red as a tomato, shivered as if with fever. Did he teach his student to be a clown?! To be clumsily beaten for the amusement of the audience?!But Elsa suffered the most. Her eyes watered with shame and disappointment.
