10 The Rapier Versus The Chain-hook

Near the boulder, the red light shone brightly, overpowering the princesses' blue and yellow light in one swoop.

They were all blown away from the collision. A solemn silence suffused the vicinity as the smoke from the collision cleared up. An amulet floated out from the boulder in grandiose. This made the air viscid from the light that was illuminated.

The light was otherworldly!

As Sarane and Quinn caught a glimpse of what they were looking for, they blacked out.

Rael, however, was not holding up too well. He's unconscious due to the power that the amulet blasted. It was unfortunate especially for someone like him who is just a mere Soulless.

Everything went black temporarily until they hear indistinct chatters resounding right in their ears. Sarane and Quinn slowly opened their eyes, and a blurred silhouette emerges in their vision.

Horrible power started to ripple out from the silhouette. Its temple shone brilliantly akin to a mystical sun that sat in the midst of a dull galaxy. The original size of its fist began to expand, later on, its body muscle pursued the development.

Combatant Technique, Concentrated Nerve!

"Novices are still out of depth compared to the oceans that are Combatants; however, in light of your exceptional power, I rather get nasty dealing with you juniors!" The silhouette said, its body appears to grow prior, but at this point, its body came back to its original state. This time, its body looks more resilient than ever.

The silhouette is similar to a wrecking ball, announcing the demolition upon their pathetic plight!

Sarane and Quinn faces were aghast by what they witnessed.

They recognized the voice they just heard. The silhouette is Doctor Andras himself!

"How could we fight that!?" Quinn panicked and clenched her teeth, together with the words that escaped her mouth was fresh blood. She analyzes the best countermeasure they could take, darts ready in hand and she casually stroke her knife, delineating every moves in her head to execute it with perfection.

She couldn't possibly slip this up!

"As the mighty Vorherrschaft of Von Morgen Kingdom, I plead to the Heavens to grant her daughter the strength to rival all adversaries! None shall defy my imperative might!" Sarane roared, she slowly stands with the support of her rapier. As soon as she steadied herself, the rapier she held was raised and pointed to the sky.

The next thing happened to Sarane was divine.

The sky bathed her with a blinding yellow light. The light was coruscating enough for cultivators to look away, not daring to even glimpse its beauty.

"She's unleashing her universal embryo seed? Are you kidding me!? Stop joking around Sarane!" Quinn shouted as she widened her eyes.

At Novice authority, Infants who are rank SSS form their talent seed in a premature and early stage. These seeds are comparable to a combatant power level, which could lead to potential danger to the cultivator that possess such talent seed. The authority board immediately terminates its full use for the time being; however, a cultivator can choose to unleash the universal embryo seed of the talent seed to gain overwhelming strength in exchange of possible death.

The strength that Sarane needed that could bridge the difference between cultivators in the Novice's Authority and defeat the Combatant's authority!

"We lose this we screw up!" Sarane shouted at the top of her lungs. "I will deal with this lunatic. Quinn, do what you need to do."

Sarane's eyes glowed with yellow light; in addition to that, her glabella seems to contain suffocating power in which no one dares to look at. Her disposition suddenly changed similar to an angel that descended from the skies to lay waste an all that is evil.

She pointed her rapier to Doctor Andras.

"I shall be your opponent!"

...

Doctor Andras was surprised, this turn out of events made him want to go all out even more. Such an honor that he got pitted with someone that was favored by the universe!

"Very well your highness, make your move! I will do anything within my skill to not get you... killed." Doctor Andras sarcastically remarked then adrenaline rose over his entire body causing his hair to stand in goosebumps.

Doctor Andras wonder what it feels to get hit by Sarane.

"This is amazing! A new discovery of an unknown pain lies ahead in the horizons of Princess Sarane's divine strength!"

"Remarkable! Can she even fight? She's a novice for authorities sake!"

He thought all of this in his head. Laughter then absconded in his mouth, leading it to a wildly expanded grin in his face.

Sarane clutches her rapier tightly on her hands. The converging power that surrounded her coated the rapier in pusillanimous golden color. The rapier then appears to be sharper than before, more importantly, it feels as if the tier of the rapier was enhanced! The next thing he knew, Sarane's rapier began its advancement straight to his neck, devoid of any feints.

"No fist? That's fine!" Doctor Andras began to swing his weapon. The converging power in his hands amplified his weapon as well, granting it superior might that can topple every cultivator beneath Combatant level.

He swung his chain weapon violently that a strong centrifugal wind emerges. Then as the rapier's pointed edge closed in, he threw his weapon to meet it.

Ding!

The rapier fought equally with the force of his weapon. Which, in a sense, quite frightening.

"You have to try better than that to overwhelm me you lunatic!"

"I see, like other royalties, you too have your fair share of unreasonable confidence. Let me educate you about the difference between our realm!" Doctor Andras said, then he brandished his hands casually.

As he did, the chain-hook weapon suddenly slithered like a snake, which defies all physics. The chain wrapped itself to the rapier as if it has its sentience that obeys willingly to Doctor Andras' hand movements. The next thing that occurred was the tip of the hook started to wildly spin as it nears to pierce Sarane's talent seed.

Combat weapon skill, Drill Bit!

Sarane was quick to react at this unexpected turn out of events. She stepped back forcefully and covered her glabella with her arm. She successfully evaded the attack; nevertheless, she was grazed by the spinning hook at the back of her arm.

"You can control weapons?" She looks at him with a stupefied expression.

Why are you stupefied? I should be stupefied!

"Holy authorities you came from a royal family and they never taught you such a vital lesson? Are you pulling my leg young lady?" Doctor Andras flushed, not believing the slightest what he was hearing from the young princess.

Doctor Andras thought Sarane dodged because she knew what was coming. Now, Doctor Andras seem to be in an embarrassing situation right now!

"Whatever it is you do, I don't care. Please return my rapier!" She demanded as she gestures her palm into a please-return-my-weapon-immediately while she stomps her foot on the ground.

Return your rapier?

Are you bonkers? You are more lunatic than me if you think I will let you slide by returning your rapier!

"Is she that inexperienced? What a pity!" Doctor Andras scoffed, he seems to be a loss for words with what just happened.
