Gacha Sovereign

356 Alex Vs Charya II

"Start!"

Alex and Charya instantly appeared in the middle of the area as their swords clashed with each other. Alex then thrust his spear against her, while Charya immediately activated her lightning element.

Charya immediately disappeared again from his sight. Alex did not panic as he could see her movement with his Spirit Eyes.

"Thunderous Claw!"

Her hand was covered with purple lightning. Alex only swung his sword to block her hand.

"Immovable Step!"

He tried to use all of his strength in this swing and pushed Charya's back.

Even Charya got surprised by this sudden strength, "So, this is what you meant earlier. This is around 14 dragon strength. Strong, but with this power alone, you won't be able to defeat an elder like this."

Alex frowned when he heard that. It seemed the effect of his Immovable Step only limited to 5 dragon strength.

Alex immediately took out twenty swords from his space ring. All of his swords immediately flew toward Charya.

However, it seemed Charya had been waiting for this. She saw these swords and grinned. She suddenly used her lightning to the maximum.

"This is a good technique indeed. But there is one flaw for this technique. Even though your Sword Domain is higher than me, the sword has no weight!" Charya said after she knocked Alex's sword away.

"!!!" Alex frowned when he saw Charya blow one of his swords away. When Alex tried to regain control of his sword, the sword was already out of range.

He used a sword that came from Zwaka's place, not his system. If he used the sword from the system, he could store back the sword and take it out again. But, if he used that technique, she might know Alex's had a space element.

Although Alex was sure that she knew he had a fire element, it was only a normal Fire Element since Alex was an Alchemist. However, his Space Element was different. All people who had seen his Space Element had died.

"Sword Rite." Charya raised her sword before she disappeared once again. Charya only wanted to confirm that Alex's swords had that kind of flaw. After she confirmed it, she immediately knocked all of them away.

Alex tried to control his sword, but Charya had knocked all of them down. He did not continue to summon another sword since the result would be the same.

It was as Charya said. Even though he had covered his Sword with his Sharp Intent, the sword had no weight on it. After all, Alex controlled it with his Spiritual Energy.

It might be effective for an opponent that did not have that much strength like when the people he fought in the Inner Disciple Tournament. But for Martial Lords, this technique did not have that much effect.

He did not notice this since all his opponents never got the chance to best this technique… No, the people who died or defeated by this technique were Martial Grandmasters. Even in the war, he did not use it to fight the crown prince.

He thought he would not be able to use it any longer.

Charya then started attacking her with her Sword Rite. Alex had experienced this technique once, but as expected, each blow was heavy. Back then, she limited herself to 5-Star Martial Master, so Alex could barely keep up with her.

But Alex also had powered up. He continued to use his Immovable Step to counter her power. It was a kind of strength versus strength.

Alex was using his Silver Sovereign to counter her Sword Rite. Not only could the complex movement from Silver Sovereign could counter Charya's unpredictable movement, but he could also destroy any lightning that came to his way with the power from Silver Sovereign.

"Omnislash!" Alex then tried the normal way. In fact, this Martial Art was the base of that flying swords thing. Unlike the previous Martial Art, he could use Omnislash without any limit. After all, he could just summon another Sword if Charya managed to destroy his Omnislash.

Well, he just took the concept of the system's inventory optimization.

The swords were barraging Charya. Although Charya used her lightning as well as her sword to fend them off, it was a bit hard since Alex immediately summoned a new sword as soon as Charya destroyed a sword.

Charya got a bit annoyed with this situation. She shifted her sword a little bit before her sword projected a giant blade.

Alex recognized this Martial Art. It was Charya's Sun Beam. Although he did not use this Sword Art that much, he knew the power contained in this Sword Art was intense.

Charya was going to use this giant blade to destroy all of his Omnislash to gain some advantage. Alex would not let her do so. He also raised his sword. The same giant blade also projected from his sword as Alex swung his sword down.

His target was not Charya. Instead, he was targeting Charya's giant blade.

"Sun Beam!"

However, when their swords almost clashed, Charya smirked. "Got you!"

Her giant sword suddenly disappeared, leaving Alex's giant sword clashing with air.

"!!!" Alex frowned as he realized he had been baited by Charya.

"Seven Stars Cut!" She was baiting him with Sun Beam. She knew Alex would try to stop her sword. If Alex decided to attack her when she used Sun Beam, she would dodge it first before destroying Alex's Omnislash.

However, Alex chose to attack her Sword, especially with the same technique. She only needed to undo it before destroying Alex's Omnislash with her Seven Stars Cut.

Charya used six layers Seven Stars Cut, and it seemed, she was only one step away from using the Seven Stars Cut to the fullest. As soon as she destroyed Alex's Omnislash, she immediately disappeared.

"Pentagram Slash!" Alex could see that she was moving toward him at a fast speed. And he would not let her get too close.

The five slashes flew toward her, but it exploded just in front of her. Charya was surprised since she thought, Alex tried to attack her with this. She could just overrun it with her speed.

But Alex chose to attack the air in front of her. And she had no choice other than jumped upward.

Alex had anticipated that move as he immediately appeared above her.

"Heavy Step!"

As soon as she was caught by Alex's Heavy Step, she was blown away and crashed into the ground. Alex did not stop there. He raised his spear and threw it.

"Spear Throwing Art. Spin Throwing."

"Thunder Charge!" Charya raised her hand and shot out a lightning strike. The lightning strike pushed his spear back.

As his spear was stopped by her attack, Alex immediately grabbed it again as he fell down to the ground.

"Seven Stars Cut!" Charya immediately pushed him back with Seven Stars Cut.

But Alex also had some plan, he stepped into the air and immediately dodged to the side. He then waved his sword once again.

"Seven Stars Cut."

Charya also saw this. Charya already disappeared when the sword wave just about to reach the ground, leaving a deep cut on the ground.

Alex swung his sword to the side. He knew Charya's position as she could not fool his Spirit Eyes.

They then kept clashing with each other. Charya kept engaging him with close combat to restrict his movement. After all, most of his Sword Art was ranged skills.

Alex frowned after a minute. He realized that he slowly lost his advantage against her. Charya movement kept getting better and better… No, in fact, his movement was the one that got slower.

He realized, Charya was going to exhaust all of his Spiritual Energy. He tried to break through from his position but to no avail.

Charya also noticed this slight movement, she said while fighting him. "I don't see any flaw in your movement. But there is still a barrier for you to overcome if you want to join the tournament. First, your strength is only 2-Star Martial Lord.

"Although I can overpower you or maybe restrict you with the difference of our Spiritual Energy, I won't do it this time. Instead, I am going to exhaust all of your Spiritual Energy in this battle.

"We can't fight too long today. That's why I am trying to exhaust your strength forcefully. Don't you realize in these two minutes, you have used half of your Spiritual Energy?

"By using the same amount of energy, I have forced you to use the same amount of energy too. But with our cultivation difference, I can keep fighting as my own Spiritual Energy's reserve is bigger than you.

"Of course, I can fight you for a few hours if you want. I might be able to force you to use all of your Spiritual Energy while using 10-20% of my own.

"So, if you want to win in this tournament. You need to finish the fight as soon as possible. Or you can try to use something beyond our imagination.

"It is the same as your Sword and Spear Technique. That might blow our mind, but since we already know about it, you won't be able to surprise us again. In fact, I know you can defeat Intan without even showing your Spear. I don't know about your past, but I think it must be related to that since I know you are a careful person. And not someone who likes to flaunt all of their wealth or technique.

"Well, this will be a good practice for you since we won't fight in the tournament. Since the tournament won't allow us to fight the elders or core disciples from the same peak. After all, they already know each other's abilities.

"And when we fight with the other sects, we won't know their ability. So, this is also another preparation for the tournament."

Alex finally realized her plan. He remembered that she wanted him to get used to fighting the elder rank so he can be prepared. She truly intended to teach him like this.

"Thank you." Alex nodded. It was true that he could defeat Intan without his Spear. However, when he saw Putri become like that, it reminded him about how worthless he was. When he got a proper thought about it, he realized 'feeling and emotions' really made one logical person become illogical. He suddenly made a few firebirds and let it explode around him.

"!!!"

Charya was still engaging Alex in close combat even though she was teaching him about all of that. So, Alex was forced to do that. But since she knew about his identity as Alchemist, Alex did not mind revealing this. Of course, not with his Pure Fire, but the fake fire.

Charya retreated a few meters. Alex took this chance to release his Sword Domain to the fullest. Of course, Charya tried to attack him again. However, she suddenly saw Alex's Sword Domain suddenly changed its shape.

From a sphere suddenly turned into a Prolate Spheroid, or if one looked from above, Alex's domain was an ellipse. Alex tried to change the shape of his domain and shrunk it before channeling it to his sword. But Alex felt a numb sensation before his Domain suddenly vanished.

Charya took the chance to appear in front of him and ended the match.

"What is that?" She asked in confusion. She never saw a domain that suddenly changed its shape.

Alex pondered for a bit before shaking his head. Even though Alex knew she wouldn't say anything about this to other people, he decided not to answer her.

Charya looked at him silently before nodding her head. "It's alright. I am not going to ask and won't tell anybody about it. You can trust me on that. Well, we won't have any fights until the small tournament."

"Why?"

"I am afraid if I know too much of your ability, I will brag to other people. Well, I have said what I wanted to say, so we have finished here. Let's go back."
