Chapter 728: Levina vs Yuri
The Empress led them to a huge field located behind the castle. There were several people who had been waiting for them, wanting to witness the battles.
Still, they were dumbstruck when they saw Theodore Griffith among the three participants.
They all immediately misunderstood what happened, thinking the Czar managed to acquire Theo as one of them. In other words, there might be a marriage or something along the lines.
The Wind Emperor didn’t even bother to clarify their doubt as he simply moved toward the designated area where he could watch the battle.
Theo and the others stayed next to their respective leaders as the Empress asked, “So, shall we start?”
“Of course.” The Wind Emperor smiled and looked at Levina. “Go.”
Levina complied and walked to the field.
The Empress also sent a participant. It was the third female. “Yuri, you go.”
“Understood, Master.” Yuri politely nodded and approached Levina.
Levina simply nodded her head as she knew Yuri was someone far stronger than her. Although her strength wasn’t as strong as Lyovkin, she was still not someone she could handle.
So, Levina had been trying to come up with a way to defeat her. At the very least, she needed to make Yuri use all her strength so as to not embarrass the Czar.
With the experience from yesterday’s sparring, she summoned her robotic hands and feet.
Since Levina didn’t say anything, Yuri remained silent and raised her bow.
“You first,” Yuri said with confidence, knowing that Levina couldn’t beat her.
“Tsk.” Levina clicked her tongue as she rushed forward. On the way, she raised her hand and covered it with a powerful gale.
Yuri pulled her bow and released an arrow. The arrow was made of Magic Power, so when Levina smashed it with her robotic hand, it caused a small explosion, knocking the hand away.
Bam.
Levina’s body shifted to the front and was about to trip. However, Levina managed to regain her control after using her wind power.
Yuri took this chance to send another arrow to Levina, planning to exploit the gap in her defense to defeat her.
Levina also utilized the momentum on her hand to spin her body around, kicking the air in front of her.
The arrow was pushed back by this wind to the point it started flying back to Yuri.
Yuri effortlessly avoided it by taking a step to the right and pulled another arrow.
Levina didn’t want to let her set the pace of the battle, so she waved both hands up and down. The wind started moving upside down violently, trying to capture the arrow again.
Seeing this, Yuri chose to go to another place to release her arrow.
But this was predicted by Levina as she followed her movement, looping around her.
Yuri didn’t hesitate to release an arrow at her.
Surprisingly, Levina chose to grab the arrow with her robotic hand. Her body was spinning when absorbing the momentum.
This was a perfect time to attack Levina, but Yuri didn’t do anything as if she was trying to give Levina a chance.
However, the real truth was different.
When spinning, Levina had been sending powerful wind in all directions, controlling them, so it brushed Yuri’s skin. This way, she would start wondering if this was a trap or not.
Seeing the hesitation in Yuri’s action, Levina smirked. She landed on the ground and raised both hands.
Suddenly, the wind lifted Yuri up.
“…” Yuri frowned but still maintained her calm. She raised her bow to attack her from the air. This time, she released three arrows in rapid succession, trying to attack Levina from three different directions.
Levina looked at the incoming arrows and used the time the arrows needed to go down to move forward, planning to hide underneath Yuri.
The arrows ended up missing and Yuri needed to slightly shift her body so that she could find Levina. After that, she needed to take a hard shot due to the unstable body when floating.
Her arrow began to glow in green light as she planned to hit Levina this time.
‘!!!’ Yuri smiled inwardly as this was the time she had been waiting for. To fill the power into the arrow required time, so she used this time to punch the ground, cracking the soil.
After that, she raised both hands, creating a big tornado that carried all the dirt and stones into the air. There was even a small boulder among them.
Everything went up, trying to engulf Yuri.
‘I thought the Czar only used their extraordinary strength to fight, not trick like this…’ Yuri thought, knowing that if the tornado swallowed her, she would be in trouble, considering the stones and dirt would hit her directly.
Hence, she formed another type of arrow and shot it to the ground, far from Levina.
There was a chain made of Magic Power attached to the arrow, so Yuri simply pulled the chain to get out of the wind that continued pushing her upward.
Now that she was free, she planned to land safely and attacked Levina in rapid succession.
However, Levina prevented her by charging forward, trying to keep her busy in close combat.
Yuri had confidence in hitting Levina before she reached her, so she immediately pulled three arrows in the air, preparing to release them the moment she landed on the ground.
But everything didn’t go according to the image in her mind.
The moment her feet touched the ground, she suddenly felt a powerful push to the ground, trying to restrict her movement.
“No!” Yuri was the first to let out a sound as she used all her power to move through the constant pressure and release the arrows.
Levina gritted her teeth and punched the arrows. She was angry because there were only two feet remaining before she could hit her.
She released the torrential fist, but the arrow was far stronger than her because it contained all of Yuri’s strength.
Levina ended up spinning in the air. She tried to stabilize her body, but Yuri had already released another arrow.
And that was the end of the battle as the Wind Emperor released his wind to stop the arrow while the Empress stated, “That’s enough.”
