Parallel Memory

With her Ice Pillars crumbling and the relentless assault of the World Tree's branches closing in, Mia knew she had to unleash her most powerful skill. Everybody watched the battle with interest. They thought that Mia Frostine would win easily but with Cyrrinthia showing such a powerful move, they were having a second thought.

Previously, they would not believe that a Rank-S - would be able to defeat Rank-S but since the match of Zero and Elrond, they thought that if Rank-A can defeat Rank-S -, then it is also possible for Rank-S - to be able to defeat Rank-S.

"It looks like Cyrrinthia is going to win!"

"I believed in her! She is going to win against Rank-S!"

"This is the power of Dryads! Cyrrinthia ultimate skill is nothing short of invincible. Victory is our!" …

The Dryads energetically cheered as Cyrrinthia was cornering Mia and her attacks seemed to be working. They thought that Cyrrinthia was winning!

But Mia had other plans. She began gathering mana for her powerful skill.

As Mia gathered her mana for the formidable skill, a hushed anticipation fell over the arena. They could all feel that Mia was trying to do something because the pressure in the air had become heavy.

The very air seemed to tremble with the impending release of her power. Cyrrinthia, standing within the protective embrace of the World Tree, couldn't help but feel a surge of unease. She tried to stop Mia before she could do anything but Mia while gathering the mana, but at the same time, she used the Ice pillars to block every attack from Cyrrinthia.

[ "Stellar Annihilation Waves" ]

As Mia unleashed her attack, brilliant streaks of celestial energy shot forth from her, racing toward Cyrrinthia and the World Tree. The waves were like beams of pure light, leaving a shimmering trail behind them as they traveled.

The crowd watched in awe as the Stellar Annihilation Waves collided with the World Tree's. The impact sent shockwaves through the arena, causing the ground to tremble and the air to crackle with energy.

Cyrrinthia, determined to protect her creation and herself, poured all her remaining energy into reinforcing the World Tree's defenses. The colossal tree absorbed the initial impact, its branches crackling with energy as they strained to hold back the waves.

But Mia's power was relentless, and the Stellar Annihilation Waves continued to surge forward, gradually breaking through the World Tree's defenses. The crowd could see the strain on Cyrrinthia's face as she fought to maintain control.

Mia stood resolute, her eyes locked onto Cyrrinthia as she channeled her inner strength into the relentless assault of Stellar Annihilation Waves. With each passing moment, the brilliant streaks of celestial energy grew more intense, piercing through the World Tree's defenses like a hot knife through butter.

Many of the World Tree branches were destoryed by the Stellar Annihilation wave. Even if Cyrrinthia survived, she couldn't use the World Tree to attack again.

The dryads' cheers turned into worried murmurs as the World Tree's branches began to shudder and crack under the overwhelming force of Mia's attack. The once-mighty guardian of Cyrrinthia's sanctuary now stood vulnerable, unable to withstand the sheer power of Mia's skill.

Cyrrinthia's desperation grew as she realized the inevitable. With a determined resolve, she tried to reinforce the World Tree's defenses even further, but her energy was waning fast. Beads of sweat formed on her brow as she strained to maintain control over her creation.

-BOOM!

The crowd watched in awe as the relentless assault of Stellar Annihilation Waves finally broke through the last remnants of the World Tree's defenses.

A blinding explosion of light erupted at the heart of the battle. The shockwave radiated outward, shaking the arena and sending spectators stumbling back. The World Tree, once a symbol of unassailable power, was now reduced to splinters and embers.

As the dust settled, Cyrrinthia was left blown to the ground in the midst of the destruction, her clothes torn and her body bruised. She gazed in disbelief at the remnants of the World Tree, her creation, and her source of strength.

She was determined to fight even without the support of the World Tree but she had exhausted all her strength and was no longer able to even stand.

Mia, on the other hand, remained standing tall, her aura radiating with confidence. The spectators watched in silent awe as they realized the extent of Mia's power. "Winner! Mia Frostine!"

The referee announced the result after having confirmed that Cyrrinthia could no longer continue the fight.

With a final glance at Cyrrinthia, who now knelt among the ruins, Mia turned and walked away from the battlefield.

-CLAP! -CLAP! -CLAP!

The crowd erupted into applause, acknowledging the incredible display of skill and power they had witnessed. Princess Elenia watched with a bit of a worry. The power that Mia shown was greater than what she have. But even so, she didn't think that she would lose!

So what if the attack is powerful? As long as you dodge it, you will be fine. King Tranduil also watched and seemed to be in deep thinking. Previously, he made a bet with his daughter that if she defeats Mia Frostine, she will get the artifact that she wanted.

He made the bet because he felt that Mia Frostine was powerful and indeed he was right in thinking so. "Elenia, do you think that you can still win?"

King Tranduil asked.

"Humph! Indeed that skill of hers is powerful but don't forget who your daughter is. I will defintely defeat her and claim that artifact. Don't you forget what you promised!"

Princess Elenia said confidently. She felt her father was looking down on her and she was going to prove to her father that she was truly the strongest in her generation.

"Sure! I will keep my word!"

"Princess Elenia of Elven Race VS Zero Elea of the Human Race!"

Admist their conversation, the referee announced the names for the next battle. "Oh, it's your turn! And your opponent is Zero who you wanted to fight!"

King Tranduil remembered that his daughter teeling that she wants to beat Zero. Although he was initially worried about it as Zero was Rank-A but after Zero fights with Elrond, he didn't think he needed to worry about Zero.

Maybe it should be the other way around!

"Finally!"

Princess Elenia exclaimed happily. She seemed to be more happy about getting to fight Zero than when she thought about getting rewarded with an artifact.

"Looks like luck is on my side. I can personally teach him a lesson."

Princess Elenia said excitedly. She had been planning this for days and even worried that Zero might be eliminated before he gets a chance to fight with her.

But now, she didn't need to worry and she could do what she planned.

King Tranduil looked at Princess Elenia with a concerned face. ( My crazy daughter, please control your expression! )

King Tranduil worriedly thought when he saw the face taht Princess Elenia was making.

"Dad, I will be going!"

******

"Princess Elenia of Elven Race VS Zero Elea of the Human Race!"

When the name was announced, many Elves seemed to have gotten excited. In this contest, Zero seemed to have become the most hated person for the Elves.

One was obviously for beating down Elrond. But the bigger reason was because of the disrespect that Zero showed to Princess Elenia.

In comparison to that, beating Elrond was nothing.

They were happy and excited to know that Princess Elenia could personally teach Zero a lesson and let him know the power of Elves.

Despite the power shown by Zero, no one believes that Princess Elenia is going to lose. Not to some Rank-A human.

Elrond was also among the crowd and he was happy when the name was announced. He was very angry at the thought of getting beaten by Zero. And even though of revenge but whenever he thought of taking revenge, he would remember the beating he got.

His body would tremble and he couldn't move properly. Therefore, taking revenge was very far. But he could at least watch him get beaten down and he thought that with Princess Elenia as Zero's opponent, he would soon get to see Zero beaten down.

Other races were also excited as they were curious about Zero and Princess Elenia's power. Both of them were strong and other Rank-S - weren't their opponent.

As the announcement echoed through the arena, the anticipation reached a fever pitch. The crowd's excitement was palpable, and all eyes were fixed on the arena where Princess Elenia and Zero Elea would soon face off.
