Chapter 458 - Two Battles, Different Results I
As their rest time came to a close, Noah and Athena went out of the floating Prime Warship and went toward the clear miles long arena where two beings calmly remained.
The onwatchers locked their eyes onto their figures as a bustle of discussions erupted on who they believed would take the title.
Most were looking at the eerie Three-Eyed Fate Child as the eventual winner, the way he passed through his matches being in an extremely domineering manner!
His expert use of the Law of Fate and Law of Spacetime was at such a level that even some of the veteran Grandmasters were threatened by this being's power.
Those that many were surprised by but expected them to be the eventual losers were Athena and Crixus! The two beings had rocketed into the top four, but many believed this would be where their journey ends, the matches of the fourth round only allowing the Three-Eyed Fate Child and Grandmaster Light to continue forward to fight for the championship.
"Alright!"
Grandmaster Onillus appeared in the skies again as his voice echoed through the field, his gaze carefully looking at the four genius Celestials below him.
"The fourth round matches will be completed consecutively, with the fighting pairs occupying half of this field!"
RUMBLE!
Grandmaster Onillus waved his hands as he created a clear line that stretched for more than a mile, the expansive field being split in half as he pointed in one side, energy leaving his body as the White Crystals which chose the combatants shone on two genius Celestials' hands.
"On this field will be Fate Child and Athena."
His gaze was impassive as he listed a match that made Athena adopt a heavy expression, his hands waving to the other field as he continued.
"On this field will be Crixus and Light."
WAAAA!
The matches were decided as the crowd thrummed in excitement, their hearts looking forward to seeing the resplendent skills again.
RAA! RAA!
One could distinctly hear the loud bellows of an Emperor Penguin as he hiddenly supported his Master from the shadows, the eyes of the watching forces of the Dark Expanse shining as they looked forward to the results.
"You four are good seedlings, and will have no shortage of resources in the near future because of the ranks you have gained. But the winner will gain even more, so continue working hard, and get ready to start!"
Grandmaster Onillus waved his hands as the four combatants stepped into their respective fields.
Noah glanced at his opponent, the Special Existence that was born on a star made of light, a star that shattered the moment this being was born!
She was someone that was extremely proficient in the Laws of Fate and Light, and he had seen the domineering fashion that she used to straightforwardly release Fate and Light Essence to overwhelm her opponents.
He planned to show off the brilliance of Crixus even more with this battle, this time around planning on using the full amount of 18 Empyrean Guards he had available to him.
With 12 Empyrean Guards, he was adorned with a golden robe that released a resplendent thin protective shield along with a flail and a tower shield, as well as three rotating golden hammers that followed his thoughts.
RUMBLE!
He began summoning the full amount of Empyrean Guards as many Celestials looked forward with shocked eyes, not being able to believe that the skill they had been using all their lives could have such a difference in usage based on who was utilizing it.
12 Empyrean Guards! 18 Empyrean Guards!
OOOOH!
A burst of essence erupted out as the numerous Empyrean Guards all became streaks of light and attached to Noah, the newest form becoming clear in the eyes of all as one could only describe it in one word- Majestic!
Two pairs of golden wings erupted from his back, both of his hands holding shining weapons as one held an extremely sharp golden blade and the other held a glistening flail. Around his armored body, 6 golden hammers flowed freely around him, but they were accompanied by the enormous presence of 3 tower shields made of a thin film of light that circled Noah protectively on all sides!
He held two weapons in each hand to attack with, two pairs of wings for even more speed and versatility, another 6 weapons that were freely floating around listening to his commands, and three rotating tower shields to defend any attacks that came his way.
He looked like a moving golden tank that would not be taken down by even the most fearsome of attacks!
Grandmaster Light looked at this opponent as her calm eyes shone with splendor, summoning her pulsing blades of Fate and Light as she burst from her position and rushed towards Noah at once.
On the other field, Athena wasted no time as she used Empyrean Armament herself, knowing that many of the past opponents of the Three-Eyed Fate Child had lost in a matter of seconds as this being appeared from nowhere to finish the battle.
She planned to use her unique ability to predict the path of attacks of this opponent who was proficient in the Laws of Spacetime and Fate, the moment she got the rhythm of the attacks giving her a chance to counterattack herself!
RUMBLE!
Energy erupted out as two battles began on the separated fields of battle. The eyes of those watching were rapidly shifting from the four moving figures as they watched an array of abilities be put to use.
Elena was watching the ongoing battles with rapt attention when she received a message from the Dark Expanse, and this time it was directly from the Vampyre Ruler that oversaw much of the Archeon Clan!
The contents of the message were simple- more importance was being placed on the being called Noah, with the Archeon Clan needing daily briefs about his movements as they prepared for the future. Whether for good or bad, the spotlight shining on Noah was gradually opening up the interest of many beings, the eyes of the powerful Celestial Grandmasters that were watching also honing in as they watched the ecstatic battle prowess he continued to show when matched against other geniuses.
BOOM!
The two battles of separate fields began as other beings communicated and planned behind the scenes for the future, the winners of the fourth round not being clear!
