Leah snorted.

Ultimately, Linda's swordsmanship was taught by her and Isa. How could a disciple defeat his master? Swordsmanship is a skill that requires long-term practice and cannot be mastered overnight. The longer you practice, the more skilled you become.

Lia admits that she can't compare to Linda in terms of intelligence, but when it comes to swordsmanship, Linda could never surpass her even after three more years of training.

Moreover, she knew that Linda excelled at mid-range combat; Venom Orb, Dark Whip, and Dragon's Fang were all mid-range skills. As long as she engaged Linda in close combat and prevented her from casting spells, the scales of victory would gradually tip in her favor.

In short, Leah's battle strategy is to launch a relentless attack, even if it's a meaningless one, and never give Linda a chance to breathe!

Linda, having underestimated her, had already descended from the sky to the ground. If she were to spread her Black Hawk wings now, she would face the same choice as Abner had. Spreading her wings would consume a large amount of magic power, leaving her defenses vulnerable.

Leah must seize this opportunity and force Linda to admit defeat in one fell swoop!

"Ora ora ora ora!"

Lia let out a powerful battle cry, her greatsword sweeping down and then slashing vertically before she turned and swung her sword in a fiery whirlwind, creating a dazzling arc.

Warriors' skills can be evolved from sword moves, and their activation time is much faster than a mage's chanting. It is precisely this characteristic that makes mages unsuitable for melee combat.

Linda was forced to retreat repeatedly by Lia, gradually approaching the edge of the arena.

Even if he has enough health, he will still be judged to have lost if he falls off the stage!

"Blazing Flame Slash!"

Lia slashed with her sword, and the huge impact sent Linda flying.

Linda flew more than ten meters horizontally, almost touching the heads of the audience.

The crowd erupted in screams!

"But it didn't work!"

This was exactly the escape route Linda had planned!

Once outside the arena, Lia was unable to pursue him, giving him ample time to cast spells.

Linda remained calm as the black eagle wings behind her unfurled and gently vibrated, halting her backward flight.

When he accepted the match, he had already concluded, through careful consideration, that he was certain of victory. How could he have faced Leah's challenge while injured if he wasn't confident?

With Black Hawk wings around her, Linda completely disregarded the terrain.

In the end, this battle was a victory for reason. He could use this match to lecture Leah and help her overcome her impulsiveness.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Linda paused in thought.

A small, fiery red dot shot towards us.

In the reflection of Linda's pupils, a small flame burned fiercely, as if half the sky had been dyed orange-red.

Lia made a desperate gamble, leaping off the arena!

But without wings, Leah cannot change direction in the air. She has no idea which way she will fly if she spreads her wings. If she is in the wrong position, even if she does nothing, as long as she watches from the air, Leah will fall off the stage and automatically lose.

This is undoubtedly an extremely risky move!

However, Leah's desperate gamble was like a hammer blow to the already tipped scales of victory.

This gave a glimmer of hope to what was originally a sure defeat.

"This guy...!"

This scene was beyond Linda's expectations. Lia leveled up during the battle, mastered a rare skill, and abandoned the arena to rush out of the arena. One uncertain factor after another combined to form the red-haired girl who was now flying towards him, raising her greatsword.

"The Dark Whip,"

Just as Linda was about to unleash his skill, a greatsword flew directly at him, forcing him to distract himself and block it.

The next moment, a fist filled with exploding flames suddenly approached.

Linda was punched in the abdomen, and a mouthful of acid rose up in her throat.

but.

He is still the winner of the competition!

Leah's punch did not knock him unconscious. He flapped his wings and flew into the sky, leaving Leah with nowhere to hold on and forcing her to fall.

However, another anomaly occurred.

Leah grabbed his pants defiantly and used him as a stepping stone to climb up.

Linda roared, "Get down here!"

He aimed a venom spray at Leah, intending to spit her out.

But Leah opened her mouth fiercely, her sharp little fangs gleaming coldly, and bit down on the soft flesh of his inner thigh!

Hiss—

Linda gasped.

Fortunately, he could withstand the pain. A miniature purple magic circle formed in his right palm, aimed at Leah's head...

Lia seemed to realize that this was useless, and hesitated for a moment.

Under Lin Daru's terrifying, murderous expression, she reached out and grabbed the "handle" on Lin Daru's "wooden board".

Just pinch it, it should be fine.

Lia estimated that she used about 50% of her strength.

That instant.

Countless men present saw Linda's deathly pale face.

How painful is it to have a level 34 fire swordsman grab your doorknob?

This can be seen from the fact that Linda fell straight down from the sky without any resistance.

Everyone felt sympathy for them.

...

"Waaah!"

"Everyone, get out of the way!"

"Someone's going to die!"

In the back rows of the audience, people fled in panic, leaving behind a mess of chairs.

Boom!

Linda and the others fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The adventurers who had gathered around looked on with surprise and uncertainty.

They all fell out of the game?

So... who wins?

Rochelle and others in the VIP seats spread their wings and flew through the sky to observe the battle.

The host, Camille, frantically urged the hot air balloon forward, yelling, "W-what's going on? A major plot twist! Will Linda be unable to have children in the future? Even if she won the competition, she's lost her life???"
