...Yasenia started by bowing and apologizing. "I'm sorry, senior-sister, I was jealous that senior-sister knows more about my mother than I do, and I was disrespectful."

Isla laughed softly and said, "Don't worry, you are still young, and those things happen. Even I got slightly jealous when I saw Lady Death Empress behave so gently with you. She is completely different than when she is in front of others."

Yasenia chuckled and nodded, "Thank you, senior sister."

While they were talking, the announcer presented the fourth and final team that would battle. Then he began the countdown. "Now that you know all of our participants... Let's begin! Ten! Nine!... "

Isla surrounded herself in blue and yellow Valkyrie-like armor and took out a broadsword. And Yasenia used her [Celestial Coat], covering herself in a silvery-golden glow with starlight around. 'Not only is she stronger, but she also has the evolved coat...'

Comparing the current aura release, Yasenia's fell short by a large amount. The spectators were skeptical, not knowing if Yasenia could last a single exchange. However...

"Three! Two! One! Begin!"

Yasenia's aura expanded as she directly used [Day and Night]! Her presence grew at exponential speeds, becoming completely outrageous. Isla's current aura and hers clashed!

The stage cracked as Yasenia's aura overpowered Isla's! It continued forward, and the shockwave reached Isla. Nonetheless, the effect the shockwave had on Isla was minimal. It blew her hair like a strong gale and nothing more. Isla smirked and said, "Impressive, this berserk skill is extremely strong. I wouldn't be your match if we were at the same cultivation level. However, how much can your body take of it, Yasenia?"

Yasenia smiled, battle hungry as the black phantom sky appeared. "Let's find out."

Her eye color changed to silver as her demeanor became gentle, like the moon that guards you at night. Then, Yasenia's whisper echoed around. "In a [Moonless night], under the [Starry Sky], I fight, [Lingering Stars] on my side."

Yasenia spun once while white lights began appearing around her. After the spin a silver domain spread, covering most of the arena. Then, she shot forward with her sword behind her, creating a shockwave.

Isla also charged forward using her movement technique, leaving a blue and yellow trail behind her.

Yasenia continued her chant, her whisper resounding, "The [Moon Charge]s into the sky, covering my body with its light. [Celestial coat] envelop, make my might develop."

As the sky changed with Yasenia's words, the silvery-golden aura surrounding Yasenia strengthened. Then, she pointed her sword forward, and a silver radiance appeared at the tip of her sword.

Yasenia stomped the ground, accelerating further and making the silver radiance surround her body.

They reached each other, and giant sword and broadsword collided. Silver and yellow-blue lights consumed their arena as a big explosion followed.

The spectators focused on the aftermath of the first clash, and they could see that Yasenia managed to push Isla, making her feet slide.

As she slid backward, Isla felt her sword vibrating and thought. 'She is stronger than I predicted, and her domain is absorbing my energy... I will have to go a little serious.'

"[Oceanic domain]."

From Isla, a blue wave expanded, fighting against Yasenia's silver domain. The arena behind Isla became blue with phantom waves moving around. This left half of it silver and half blue.

While Isla slid, Yasenia's whisper spread around, "[Crescent Moon] spreads soft light. The [Wanning Moon] supports my fight."

Yasenia's body, tail, and sword were enhanced by [Wanning Moon], adding the chilling Moon attribute, increasing her lethality. Then, Yasenia's silver slit eyes thinned as her muscles moved extremely coordinated, doing a perfect horizontal slash, she let the momentum spin her as her sword tail created another crescent and the cycle repeated. A barrage of [Crescent Moon] attacks shot toward Isla.

Isla managed to stop sliding after almost 300m, just as Yasenia sent the first crescent. She swung her 90cm long broadsword rapidly, sending numerous light-attribute projectiles towards the silver crescents.

The attacks collided, and Yasenia's crescent destroyed her skill twice before dissipating. Isla needed two sword swings for each silver crescent, and Yasenia's attack speed and hers were practically the same. Isla remained calm as she thought, 'I can't continue like this.'

Isla planted her feet on the ground cracking it. Her aura swelled and chanted, her voice imposing. "[Endless Light Waves]."

Her sword blurred as giant yellow waves appeared before her, comparable to the silver crescents. The first wave clashed with a crescent, and they annulled each other. This time, the attacks were paired in strength!

The two women fired one attack after another on each other, sending shockwaves everywhere.

The people in the stands were cheering loudly at their display of incredible might. "Go, Yasenia! Summon the stars!"

"Isla, keep it up!"

The disciples of the Heavenly Sect were dumbfounded, "How can some at the first level keep up with senior sister's [Endless Light Waves]!?"

"That dragoness is insane!"

On the other side, Gerd and his allies had ugly faces as they watched the match, "Even if I hate to admit it, Yasenia is too strong. Only Jaxon can somewhat face her."

Some bit their lips and said, "But she killed Elias! Are you going to let her get away like that!?"

Gerd smirked and said, "Even if she is strong, her closest people aren't. We just have to wait for the right chance." The others nodded.

Yasenia frowned a little as she continued her attacks. Then, her iris began gaining a golden color as she steeled herself. 'I will have to go above and beyond!'

Her meridians circulated her energy and expanded as Yasenia prepared to deliver two powerful skills. Then, Yasenia's voice rose in tone as the sky changed to bluish orange colors. "As the Moon hides, [Dawn] looms. As the Moon hides, [Starfall] blooms."

Yasenia took a step forward and lifted her sword above her head, then she swung it vertically, sending a devastating silvery-golden energy wave! Moreover, as the giant destruction wave approached Isla, the more than 200 stars in the phantom sky fell towards her simultaneously.

The spectators' eyes opened widely at the strength of Yasenia's attack. Isla also became surprised, and she hastily activated her defenses. She poured energy crazily as she shouted, "[WATER DOME], [SPACE LOCK], [ICE REINFORCEMENT]."

The water dome appeared around Isla, and a transparent wave locked it in place. Then, an Ice structure reinforced the dome making a triple-layer defense.

The stars were faster than the energy wave and rained on Isla's shield, creating countless explosions and making it tremble. The stars destroyed her [Space Lock] and damaged the Ice reinforcement. Without giving a breathing chance to Isla, [Dawn] arrived.

The destructive wave impacted the water-ice dome with trampling strength...

*BOOOM!*

*CRASH!*

...shattering it. Weakened, the attack loomed over Isla.

With no other way, Isla reinforced her armor as she crossed her sword in front of her.

*BANG!*

Isla felt her energy armor crack as her feet left the ground. Then, she was sent flying with terrible speed backward.

Yasenia didn't want to let the chance go, so she used more skills even if her meridians hurt. Her eyes glowed with golden light as her voice echoed around, "The [Sun Charge]s into the sky, The [Lingering stars] disappear."

The floor under her got completely covered in cracks as she pushed her body forwards, transforming into a golden streak.

Isla tumbled on the ground and managed to regain balance, 'She sent me flying!? Such a powerful attack! Thankfully, I mitigated most of the damage- She is already coming!? She isn't even letting her own body rest!'

Isla hastily chanted, "[Oceanic Divine Battle Dance]."

A blue aura surrounded her as Isla's steps changed and blocked the charging dragoness.

*BOOM!*

A big golden explosion occurred, and Isla was sent back, almost reaching the end of the two-kilometer-long arena. However, she was undamaged.

Yasenia approached again as she said with strong belief, "Now is [Sunrise], Now is my battle chance."

Yasenia and Isla charged at each other and exchanged sword attacks. Yasenia utilized her continuous [Sunrise] strikes, as Isla countered and attacked back using the [Oceanic Divine Battle Dance].

Now, there was an exchange of destruction against elegance in the arena.

Gold against Blue.

A Dragon and a Divine.

Everyone held their breath as the battle moved around the arena.

Yasenia's attacks combined her sword and tail intricately, leaving the ground scorched and frosted.

Isla's attacks were precise and managed to block her attacks, creating chances to counterattack and make the dragoness bleed.

Yasenia ignored her injuries, as they were regenerating thanks to her natural regeneration and her [Celestial Coat]. She continued using [Sunrise] until she was fully charged with Sun energy.

Her skin was glowing golden, and her tail was also completely golden. She made a rising strike as she shouted, "SCRAM!"

*BANG!*

Isla received the attack and was pushed back by the golden vertical crescent shot from Yasenia's sword. She frowned as she thought, 'What is she doing? No matter what it is, I won't let you!'

Isla tried to stop herself from sliding, pushing against the crescent. "HAAAA!!!"

*BANG!*

Isla managed to destroy the crescent and shot towards Yasenia. However, by the time she did that, Yasenia had already ended her chant!

Yasenia pointed the sword at the phantom Sun in the middle of the blue sky!

Her voice was as imposing as the Sun in the heavens!

"AS THE TIME PASSES! AS THE MIDDAY LOOMS! MY TIME ARRIVES! WHAT COMES IS [NOON]!"

While Isla was in mid-charge, Yasenia's body exploded in golden radiance as if a second sun appeared in the middle of the arena!

Isla bit her lips and stopped her charge, preparing her defenses. "[Water dome], [Ice reinforcement], [Spatial lock], [Oceanic blessing]!"

This time she added another layer, making it sturdier than before. Moreover, she focused her defenses on the frontal half of the dome.

When Isla finished setting up her defenses, Yasenia lowered her sword, and an enormous sword-shaped sunbeam fired from her sword. It covered the arena before her completely, leaving her opponent with no choice but to block. Moreover, thanks to [Day and Night], the phantom Sun also fired from the sky, carrying celestial judgment onto Yasenia's enemy.

The two giant sunbeams scorched everything in their way and reached the blue and white dome. The impact bent the dome inwards and Isla, who was connected to the dome, felt like a meteor had hit her.

The first layer was destroyed almost instantly, and the ice layer cracked everywhere. The beams continued, and the ice layer exploded, leaving only a blue dome separating Isla and the catastrophic attack. Isla shouted, pouring energy into the dome, "HAAAA!!!"

Yasenia had blood on the corner of her mouth, eyes, and nose as she channeled the attack, and her meridians and Dantian pumped energy crazily. "ROAAAARR!!!!"

The beam took a blurred draconic shape and fired toward Isla!

Isla closed her eyes, and her blue aura turned yellow before the attack collided.

The draconic sunbeam consumed the dome and Isla!

*BOOOM!!!!*

The spectators held their breath as they waited for everything to settle.
