Re-Awakening: I Ascend with a Legendary class

Chapter 537: Natalia vs Berreta

Even Kexell lost against Berreta.

The other Regalons were uncertain, but not backing down.

Liang went to fight next.

And lost.

Berreta was already in her super version form right now, stronger than ever.

Her Life Power had recovered fully, and she was in her prime condition.

Natalia went up next.

The battle raged on for five minutes.

It was a fact that Natalia was top 5 in terms of power amidst Regalons, not including Almond, Lily, and Rudra.

She had two True Concepts and a well-built arsenal of power that could overwhelm her opponents.

The phantom orchestra of instruments filled her domain, attacking with a myriad of effects, debuffs, and disruptions without pause, as no life energy is consumed when using skills within the domain, unless one used it to boost power further.

In this chaotic symphony of battlefield she created, Natalia shattered space within her domain in a formatted fashion to bring in uncertain elements into the battle, and using her luck-based Grim Tree’s power to further attack and disrupt Berreta.

Berreta was absorbing and converting Natalia’s vast amount of potency that her domain rained constantly, and attacking back.

But the problem was that Natalia had become an expert at breaking phenomena. Percieving frequency of everything and matching it with her domain’s instrument to shatter them completely.

So Berreta’s attacks were shattering, no matter how powerful she made them.

’I have to shift.’ Berreta’s eyes sharpened, with a hint of desperation in them. ’Or should I spend Grim Power and conceptualize something to counter her to finish this faster?’

"Is it over?" Natalia asked with a smile. "You can surrender, you know?"

Natalia also wanted to break Berreta’s exo-armor, but she couldn’t match its frequency perfectly.

Berreta was countering her by using a bit of life power to fundamentally create a formation between her body and exo-armor to constantly shift their frequencies.

But that was it. She could only protect that. It was impossible to do that in executed attacks, or they would be disrupted in other ways, failing them.

"You haven’t dealt any damage to me yet," Berreta replied.

Suddenly, one meter away from her, the space split like a cobweb before a burst of radiation, and a small meteorite at breakneck speed shot out, right at Berreta.

Berreta pulled the trigger while swinging her arm as a bullet shot and curved before hitting the small meteorite and blasting it.

The clash began again, but Natalia had the upper hand. Lightning and wind in colorful neon effects shaped through her instruments into various attacks, overwhelming Berreta.

The only reason Berreta was holding on was due to constantly absorbing Natalia’s potency and using it to deflect and defend herself.

"Impressive." Vier slapped his thigh. "I like her battle style."

"She put her all into instruments and bringing out maximum versatility. She is our Miss Fortune Muse." Lily smiled.

"But Muse doesn’t really suit her." Almond laughed.

Admiral Rudra chuckled. "She is an imp."

"She will lose." Vier suddenly said.

"What do you mean?" Lily blinked.

"You see..." Vier looked at the battlering. "If you can’t defeat Berreta swiftly, she will eventually defeat you. Especially after she transforms."

"Does she still have a card up her sleeve?" Admiral Rudra raised his eyebrows.

"That’s up to your Natalia." Vier grinned. "Time of essence. However, as you can see, they are in a deadlock."

The battleground was no longer recognizable.

Natalia’s domain had been carved into a warped orchestra hall of broken space, floating music sheets of neon lightning, and phantom instruments raging without pause. Harps of refracted sound. Drums made of thunder. Violins of wind whistling like sirens. A piano embedded into the warped ground, every key press detonating with different elemental chaos.

Berreta stood in the storm, exhaling slowly.

Natalia, her hair fluttering wildly in prismatic gusts, pointed her conductor’s baton forward.

"Final set—Rhapsody of Turbulent Fortune!"

The domain responded instantly.

The space above Berreta split into four layers—each layer cracking open like a shattered mirror—releasing beams of condensed fortune-energy, distortions of probability, and meteoric anomalies. Phantom violin bows drew crescendos that warped gravity around Berreta. A faint choir hummed, and each note carried distortions of tiny probabilities that could flip strength, mass, or direction with each beat.

Berreta fired her pistol into the air, bullets curving wildly, absorbing force from the incoming pressure and detonating danger points before they touched her. But Natalia’s onslaught didn’t stop—every disruption Berreta created was instantly filled with another attack.

Lightning winds folded around her armor, prying, searching, trying to seep through any frequency opening.

But Berreta shifted her stance and absorbed a large portion of the force again.

Yet it wasn’t enough.

Natalia watched her calmly, baton tapping the air.

"You’re slowing down. You know that, right?"

Berreta didn’t answer.

Because she knew.

At this rate...

Even with Unfettered Conversion, she was falling behind.

Natalia’s domain was too effective at suppressing her attacks—shattering them before they stabilized. Even the converted force was getting broken by the frequency dissonance Natalia created through her symphony.

"If you plan to conceptualize something, now’s the time," Natalia said, her smile bright and smug. "Otherwise...it will get ugly."

Berreta’s teeth clenched.

Her exo-armor hummed softly—metallic pieces glowing faint traces of dormant power, waiting.

Her body and armor frequency were still stable enough to resist Natalia’s disruptions thanks to her continuous micro-adjustments. But she was reaching her limit.

Vier leaned forward, eyes sparkling.

"Any moment now..."

Almond, Lily, and Admiral Rudra frowned.

Natalia had the upper hand. She was about to win.

But the other party had different thoughts.

Natalia’s baton flicked down.

"Let’s end this."

The domain surged.

Instrument spirits forming a combined crescendo attack: thunderized strings, wind percussion, colorful radiations into patterns, and spatial distortion.

Berreta looked up.

The armor’s inner circuits flickered.

She whispered in her mind.

’...Activate.’

WHUMMM—!

A low, resonant hum erupted from Berreta’s armor, like a heart awakening after a long sleep. The plating expanded slightly, overlapping like metal petals blooming outward. Intricate channels of pale crimson and obsidian lit up, circulating with light.

Almond blinked. "What did she activate?"

Vier smirked. "Adaptive Shell. She can input one type of power and make herself adaptive to it."

"Guess what she adapted to?"

The hum deepened into a sharp metallic choir.

Berreta’s eyes sharpened as the world seemed to slow.

The neon lightning around her, the frequency disruptions, the orchestral waves—

She could see the rhythm.

Every attack.

Every warp.

Every vibration.

Every frequency.

Natalia’s confident grin froze for an instant.

"What...?"

Berreta stepped forward.

And Natalia’s entire domain rejected her step.

But the armor flowed, adjusted, matched.

A ripple passed through it, aligning perfectly with Natalia’s chaotic frequencies.

The domain’s suppression evaporated.

Natalia’s pupils shrank.

’No way! My frequencies—!?’

Berreta vanished.

CRACK!

Her fist slammed into a barrier of wind-strings—

and passed through it like it wasn’t there.

The barrier shattered like flimsy glass.

Natalia leaped back, baton swinging, instruments firing off dozens of layered defenses.

Berreta was already in front of her.

A swing of the katana, and it vibrated with the adaptive frequency of Natalia’s defenses.

Every barrier, every construct.

Every element.

Every phenomenon.Brokee.

Like porcelain hitting a hammer.

"Impossible!" Natalia gasped, stepping back. "Those defenses were harmonized..."

"They were," Berreta said softly. "But it doesn’t matter for the next five minutes."

Another step.

Another blow.

CRACK!

More defenses shattered.

"I’ve synchronized with your frequencies, Natalia."

Berreta’s voice was calm.

"Your entire domain... is naked to me."

Natalia’s face twisted, baton whipping wildly as she unleashed her full sequences, the entire orchestra blaring their deadliest crescendo.

Berreta stepped into the storm.

Every attack bypassed her.

Every suppression effect failed.

Every element dissolved on contact.

To the onlookers, it appeared as though Natalia’s grandest arsenal passed through her opponent like harmless illusions.

Four steps.

Three.

Two—

Berreta flicked her wrist.

PAM!

Natalia flew back, skidding across the floor, coughing violently, unable to maintain control as her orchestra disintegrated into fading notes of light.

Before she even fully landed, Berreta stood above her, katana drawn just enough to show the gleam of its edge.

"Your symphony was beautiful," Berreta said softly.

Natalia’s breath trembled. "Damn... I lost."

Berreta sheathed her katana.

"Yes."

Vier clapped once, loudly.

"And that is why she should never be underestimated."

Almond blinked. "I didn’t expect that...she got an interesting build of arsenals."

Lily clicked her tongue. "She is powerful."

Admiral Rudra rubbed his chin and glanced down at Big D.

Big D was strong, on par with him in terms of combat power.

In the group below, only he was stronger than Natalia.

"Don’t worry. She can adapt again." Vier grinned. "As long as she is not defeated quickly enough, she will win."

Natalia returned and looked at Regalons. "Boys and girls, she is tough."

"Who is going next? You want to give a go or pass the baton above?" Arjun looked at Big D.

"Nah." Big D licked his paws as a pair of eyes appeared in front of Almond, Lily, and Rudra. "I am a bad match with her. One of you take her out."

The trio looked at each other.

Vier grinned at them. "It seems you finally have to step in. So, who is going next?"

Berreta looked at them as her armor transformed again, returning to normal as she canceled her current adaptation.

"Come and die."
