EPHS-CHAPTER 298 HUNDRED-TIMES

…

When it came to physical stature, Xuelan's slender frame appeared as small as a child in front of the Giant Gandoma. Their disproportionately sized fists clashed in midair.

Boom!

The intense shockwave sounded, and the ground beneath them collapsed.

Gandoma took a few steps back and his thumping steps created a rhythmic retreat. Meanwhile, Xuelan left dozens of meters of scraped marks on the ground before finally halting.

Her arms trembled slightly, and Xuelan couldn't help but be amazed by the immense strength of the giant before her. However, she wasn't afraid. She planted her feet and launched herself like a bullet toward the Giant.

While power and size were Gandoma's advantages, agility was Xuelan's forte. Gandoma swung a massive fist to block her, but Xuelan suddenly changed her trajectory. She braced herself on one hand and kicked Gandoma's abdomen with her other foot.

Also being a [Rook], Xuelan's strength was overwhelmingly impressive. The force of her attack even generated a strong shockwave that reverberated through Gandoma's body, causing a burst of compressed air to shoot out from behind him.

Had an ordinary person taken such an attack, their internal organs would have turned into mush. However, Gandoma only wrinkled his brow slightly, showing no signs of injury.

Before he could retaliate, Xuelan executed a series of backward flips, rapidly distancing herself from Gandoma.

Given Gandoma's massive size, terrifying strength, and seemingly invincible defense, Xuelan couldn't help but wear a grim expression.

"This monstrosity!"

…

Boom! Boom!

In the sky, enormous fireballs streaked across the heavens, detonating upon impact with the distant ground.

"Roar!"

Seizing a moment of opportunity, Isabela charged forward and landed a punch on the giant dragon form of Ladora.

As a member of the Dragon Race, Ladora's giant dragon form inherited unparalleled physical resilience. Isabela felt like her fist was hitting steel, the impact sending a searing pain through her hand.

"Ah!"

In response, Ladora's giant dragon form swatted Isabela with a slap, causing her to crash onto the ground with a pained cry.

However, despite the bloody streak across her cheek and her battered appearance, Isabela didn't give in. Instead, she immediately sprung back into action, facing the Giant Dragon again.

Meanwhile, in the outer dimension:

"What an exhilarating and intense battle. Governor General Azazel, what are your thoughts on this match?"

"Both of Sairaorg's [Rooks] are remarkable, whether in terms of strength or physique. They hold an absolute advantage."

"Indeed, Ladora and Gandoma are quite formidable. It's unfortunate for Ransuke and Isabela to face such formidable opponents."

"Tee-hee, a battle between beauties and beasts, what an interesting plot. Many spectators are getting excited and rowdy."

"Cough, cough, Governor General Azazel, remember that Ladora and Gandoma are Devils, not beasts. Moreover, this is a formal match. Let's avoid discussing topics that might corrupt young minds."

"Well, it's just a playful remark. Although the situation doesn't look good for those two young ladies, I have a feeling they won't give up easily."

"Does Governor General Azazel, believe that Xuelan and Isabela have a chance of winning?"

"We'll never know the outcome until the very end. That's one of the intriguing aspects of a Rating Game."

"Moreover, they are Peerage members of Kamiya Tenraku, that lad known as the 'Miracle' of the Phenex family, always accomplishing things that seem impossible to others. As his Peerage, I think these two girls might possess the potential to trigger similar miracles."

"Oh, that's quite a high praise. Let's wait and see then!"

In the inner dimension, Xuelan and Isabela couldn't hear Azazel's hopeful expectations. Focused on dealing with their opponents, they were exerting all their efforts. As [Rooks], their attributes emphasized high attack and defense, but their enemies utterly overwhelmed them, regardless of attack or defense.

Floating in the air, Isabela panted heavily, her body bearing the evidence of being pummeled by the Giant Dragon countless times. She looked disheveled, a trail of blood streaking down her forehead and cheek.

Her fist clenched tightly. Despite her deep frustration, Isabela knew she was no match for the current opponent based solely on her own strength.

After giving her all, was this really as far as she could go?

While she felt a sense of despondency, Isabela's determination remained strong. She swiftly readjusted her mindset. The battle wasn't over, and she would never give up.

Although her strength alone couldn't match her current opponent, she had the power bestowed upon her by Tenraku-Sama!

"Ha!"

Surging with Magic Power, Isabela charged once more toward the behemoth. Simultaneously, she activated the ability granted by Tenraku-Sama's Sacred Gear—

Prank of the Giant – Variant Detonation!

Prank of the Giant – Variant Detonation allowed the user to trigger explosions during attacks, multiplying the attack's power several times over.

With a resounding boom, the Giant Dragon's mouth emitted a pained roar. Isabela's attack had dealt a considerable blow.

Her eyes gleamed with determination, and Isabela's spirit was revitalized. With the power bestowed upon her by Tenraku-sama, perhaps victory was possible!

"Ohhhhh!"

Outside the inner dimension, the audience erupted in cheers. In the VIP section, Azazel's lips curved upward.

"Watch, the counterattack has begun."

…

Boom! Boom! Boom!

On the ground, the battle between Xuelan and Gandoma raged on.

Like an ancient ferocious beast, Gandoma relentlessly pursued Xuelan. His massive fists created enormous craters in the earth with each blow.

Xuelan, in an uncommon move, refrained from engaging in a direct power struggle. Instead, she relied on her body's flexibility and agility, continuously evading her opponent's attacks.

But evading alone wouldn't secure victory. While wearing down her opponent over time was a viable strategy, she couldn't afford to wait much longer. Isabela's situation couldn't be delayed.

Xuelan noticed that Isabela had already utilized the Sacred Gear bestowed upon her by Tenraku-Sama. Even so, Isabela could only manage to hold her ground against her opponent. Given enough time, she would likely find herself in a perilous situation again.

…

And before that, Isabela must defeat her current opponent and provide support!

Xuelan took a deep breath, determination gleaming in her eyes. Her fists clenched tightly as she assumed a combat stance.

"Aren't you avoiding anymore?" Gandoma inquired with a buzzing voice, observing Xuelan's demeanor.

"No, I won't evade anymore. Come at me!" Xuelan replied coldly.

"Hey, hey… That's the spirit," Gandoma chuckled, revealing his massive white teeth.

Although he didn't mind her evasive tactics, Gandoma preferred direct, head-on battles. He lacked any sort of chivalrous restraint, charging toward Xuelan like a human tank, his thumping steps echoing.

Amid the astonishment of countless spectators, Xuelan and Gandoma engaged in a meteor punch-off!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The earth continued to fracture. Confronting the Giant's assaults, Xuelan faced each blow head-on. It was difficult to imagine the immense power concealed within her seemingly delicate fists, allowing her to withstand such an enormous creature's attacks.

"One punch… Two punches… Three punches…"

Her teeth clenched, her face contorted in a wild expression. With each collision, Xuelan mentally counted…
