章 44: Did she win...?
BANG!
"Ugh-!" she groaned as she experienced the strength of a ten-times enhanced Rank-1 exorcist. Her eyes could not help but widen as she resisted the force behind the blow.
"Huff…" she managed to resist, but her arms felt numb due to the impact.
'No choice but to use espera.'
She thought as a glint passed through her eyes.
Her body started to glow in a white hue as she looked at Oliver with determined eyes.
Swish!
Oliver suddenly felt a great force striking his back.
Gasp!
He clutched his back in pain; he didn't see her move behind him.
It seemed using espera turned her into a completely different person.
It was understandable, considering she was never a physical exorcist like he was.
Her skills with using espera were far superior to ordinary children, so it was not a shock that she was able to corner him.
However, Oliver was not weak either. He immediately used espera as well, a burst of powerful espera radiated from his body.
It was not particularly tremendous, but it was enough to increase his agility and strength a bit.
Bang!
Bang!
The next scene was nothing but a flurry of strikes and moves, both sides dodging and attacking continuously.
Bella could feel his strength; it was not inferior to hers. Rather, she would say it was greater than hers…
It was a surprise. She had always listened to her elders saying that she was the most talented in her generation and stood at the pinnacle compared to her peers on the same level.
But now, meeting someone smaller than her with even greater strength…
She did not know what to feel, but it did induce a bitter feeling inside her, followed by a strong determination to overcome him and be the strongest.
The fight intensified as the spectators could only watch in amazement as the two youngsters fought elegantly.
Bella was formidable, and her attacks were agile and powerful. However, Oliver remained unfazed and dodged her attacks without getting hit much; he even found openings from time to time to attack her weak points.
'It's time to end this.'
Oliver looked at the slightly panting girl with a smile as she gritted her teeth and flexed her muscles, channeling power in her fist as she again blurred from her spot, only to attack him from the front.
This time he did not dodge but instead made a surprised face as if he had been caught off guard, which looked quite natural too, considering the dust clouds around them obscuring the vision.
Bella pushed forward, aiming at his chest.
BANG!
"Ahh-!"
Oliver let out a painful shriek as he flung his body backward, followed by a crash into nearby trees.
"Cough-!" he coughed up and fell to the ground, clutching his chest.
He was flawless in his act as the dust clouds around them slowly settled down.
All the spectators saw was Oliver lying on the ground clutching his chest and a stunned Bella who still had her fingers curled into a fist, paused mid-air.
The elder was not surprised and announced, "Miss Bella is the victor."
However, instead of the laughter from the elders that was there at the time when Alphonso was beaten and defeated, there was instead a calm atmosphere without much noise.
While the children might not have been able to see it, the elders with their advanced senses were able to peer into the details. The way Oliver fought was like he was handling a child.
He was easily able to counter Bella in every way possible. Not only that, but his speed and strength were also clearly superior to hers.
Except for his above-average espera, which made them confused, how could a genius like him have such a level of espera?
Moreover, some of them even had suspicions that he lost on purpose, they did not understand why but they still remained silent and observed.
Was he a true genius in physical exorcism?
They were caught up in the fight between these two young kids. While it was not too splendid, they still saw the clash of two geniuses.
No one dared to mock at this moment. It would be stupid to offend such a genius when he could later grow up to be a powerhouse.
The elder from the Mystic Purge Clan did not move from his spot. Oliver was not too injured, so he did not have to go and give him healing potions.
He was busy observing the young lady from the Celestial Paradox Clan. As the rumors had suggested, she indeed had a knack for both martial arts and espera techniques.
He could see how smoothly espera was flowing inside her body. It was very smooth and without any blockages, as if it was natural.
Such flow indicated her talent as an exorcist.
Alphonso was also silent at this point. He had already learned his lesson. Never in his life was he going to underestimate anyone from the Mystic Purge Clan from this moment forth.
He swore it in his heart.
He could tell that Oliver was a seriously talented guy, even more so than him to some extent.
He had to admit it painfully. He doubted that he could last even a minute under that sort of monstrous strength and energy.
He was able to console himself, thinking how he was still ahead of him in espera and the amount of espera they had.
The only thing he could feel somewhat proud of…
He also felt relieved that he did not outright belittle him earlier based on his suspicions alone.
Everyone around them was praising the good fight.
Meanwhile, Bella remained silent. She was standing still on her spot alone, her eyes dazed as she was in deep thought.
The last scene of the fight repeated in her mind.
Just when she was about to deliver her punch, for a split second, she felt as if she saw him move and press his palm against her incoming fist, producing a feeling of impact. The next thing she knew, he was already flung back, crashing directly into a tree.
And not to mention her fist was now entirely numb. She was barely able to feel her fingers after that impact.
'Did I really defeat him…?'
She frowned, this was not acceptable.
