"I'm sorry precious, but it's better to end this already"

*BAM* *BAM* *BAM*

The gunner who kept moving across the field stopped moving as the number of magic bullets increased.

"Even if the number of shots increases, there won't be any change," Beatriz scoffed.

Until now, Beatriz hadn't used her top speed, as she used the shots as a practice and check her current strength.

Beatriz, had practiced in simulated practice matches with Chris and the others excluding those who are of lower power than her, but each and every one of them was a monster, so she was always under pressure and although she noticed that she had become stronger, it was not clear to him how much the difference between his current strength and the previous one was.

So, she took advantage of this fight with the gunner who was her opponent.

*Boom* Boom*

Increasing the pace of her sword Beatriz began to cut the magic bullets one by one, at a much higher speed.

"Hahaha, sorry, but it's over"

*Change of trajectory*

The gunner with mockery in her voice, activated the magic on the bullets, causing them to change their directions by curving between them as if they were chasing the target.

"Uhh"

Beatriz was surprised by the change in direction of her shots causing her to end up hitting the air.

"This is just the beginning, *Magic Explosion*"

*BAM* *BAM* *BAM* *BAM*

As if someone had pressed the button on an explosive, magic bullets burst, as the sound reverberated throughout the arena.

"Splintery Cannon model 2"

When the gunner said those bullets, his pistols disappeared and a huge barrel appeared in his hands.

*Boot Shoot*

As if he was ready beforehand, the cannon in the gunner's hands released a shot of magic power using the full power of a rank 5 mystic realm.

*BOOM*

"What a pitiful woman, she really was a beauty without equal"

"Her opponent of hers was rank 5 while she was only rank 3 the difference in strength is obvious"

"And that, if she is a rank 5, sometimes it is preferable to lose, to win"

"In that you are right brother, if it is only for having the favor of that goddess receiving one or two blows is not a big deal"

"TRUE"

*BOOM*

While everyone was discussing the battle as if it had already ended, a much greater and more dangerous aura came from the curtain of smoke that formed in the bombardment that Beatriz suffered.

"Still good"

She "she received the full attack of a 5 range how is it possible"

Beatriz was standing in the same position as before while the layer of Prana that covered her was thicker and brighter, making her look much more beautiful than before.

(Is that Chris?) Kaguya.

(It is the third ability of the Valkyrie soul, divine veil) Chris.

Because of Beatriz brilliant Prana people didn't notice it, but besides the Prana there was a layer of aura covering Beatriz.

The Divine Veil is similar to the Immortal God's Divine Physique ability allowing her to absorb all Prana and Mana that hits her, recovering her Prana and depleted Mana in the process.

But this ability has another ability in case Beatriz Prana and Mana are not depleted and she absorbs some abundant amount of energy, for a short period of time her Prana and Mana will become stronger as if she were under the effect of a buff that increases your stats.

"You are right about something and that is that this is over" Beatriz.

*Dark Whips*

A black colored Mana came out from Beatriz feet and consumed the sand, while black colored laths like tentacles began to emerge.

As if the dark whips had a mind of their own, they headed towards the gunner.

By depleting too much of his Mana the gunner couldn't hold out for long even when he put away his cannon and went back to using his pistols.

Without much resistance the whips passed through the gunshots and immobilized the gunner.

"She won"

"A rank 3, she defeated a rank 5"

People were incredulous at the result, although there were people who could fight a rank above, these people were already at the pinnacle of her rank and she could advance at any time.

In the case of Beatriz, she was not at the end of the 3rd rank and even so, not only did she defeat someone with a higher rank than her, but this person was two ranks higher, but what puzzled people the most was that Beatriz was still in her better condition, as if the battle just now had not needed the slightest effort, despite using a large number of combat techniques.

(Dark magic, I thought you would teach her black magic that represents the attribute of death that she possesses) Kaguya asked confused.

(It's not that I didn't teach him black magic, but that he shouldn't use it) Chris replied.

(What do you mean) Kaguya.

(Darkness, death and destruction are three attributes that derive from the same laws represents Order and Chaos, Beatriz's specialty is death so she has a perfect affinity with black magic, but all spells of black magic are very dangerous, if he used it in a practice match like this his opponent would end up dying and if he survived he would probably become a cripple, so I also taught him dark magic which is powerful and will not be so deadly and will only I said to use black magic if absolutely necessary) Chris.

(I guess that's true, besides learning more things doesn't hurt him and increases the cards he will have in hand, but Chris that sword he's holding is not a normal weapon, at least I think it's in the black gold range) Kaguya.

(That's right, it's an experiment that he carried out a while ago, since the characteristics of the sword resembled Beatriz, I gave it to him so that he would have a suitable weapon) Chris.

These days despite having a little fun, Chris didn't waste his free time in the slightest, studying the techniques from the book of Ain's, as well as experimenting to create custom weapons from the design he obtained.

The design of a custom sword allowed a minimum of 5 metals and a maximum of 50.

In Beatriz's sword, Chris used only 5 very good quality rare metals as after much trial and error he discovered that they were compatible.

These 5 metals provided 5 characteristics to the sword.

The first characteristic is that it is a sword that specializes in strength, despite its appearance its weight was such that not everyone could use it, the second is its durability, it is so robust that no normal attack would be able to even create a splinter, its third feature is its edge even though its previous two features make it a powerful sword as its edge was quite sharp to the point that it could cut through steel like butter.

And its last two characteristics are based on its ability to conduct energy, the sword could receive Prana very easily and amplify its previous characteristics, but, just as it received Prana, it rejected Mana.

Weapons can receive both Prana and Mana, but depending on what time energy is used the results will be different.

If one applies Prana to a weapon, it will improve its specifications, such as its hardness or sharpness, so there are leading types of arts where this is used to release the full potential of the weapon, such as the art that used the evil Katana that poses the poor hunter in the rural village.

In the case of Mana, it doesn't improve the weapon's specs, but it does add attributes or spells on the weapon, a serious example being when he ignites flames on a sword blade or coats it in lightning.

Since Beatriz sword rejects Mana, adding an attribute or spell on it is impossible, but this debuff is truly useful.

If it was a weapon that can use both Prana and Mana, when Beatriz cut the magic bullets, she would have to spend more Prana to prevent the Mana from leaking into the sword when she cut the bullets causing the energies to conflict making it dangerous to use the sword, avoiding having to concentrate too much on this could fight more relaxed.

(It is an imperfect weapon since it has its pros and cons, after all there are enemies that cannot be defeated with force alone and magic will also be needed, but excluding this without a doubt the sword adapts well to Beatriz) Kaguya.

Kaguya believed that Chris could do much better things, but for a prototype to come out of one of his experiments and give such good results, being of such good utility, it shows that he is on a good path for a final result in the future, so it was commendable.

(There's still a long way to go for a final result, but putting that aside this contest might just turn into a more interesting one) Chris said as he watched a group moving through the crowd.

(I see, I can also feel how several people move in the crowd towards Beatriz) Kaguya.

(We've seen enough, so we better act before things get more complicated, after all it wouldn't do for Beatriz to expose too many of her letters just yet) Chris.

When they finished speaking, the presences of Chris and Kaguya disappeared without even leaving an afterimage as if they had never been there.
