Chapter 816 - 817: The first loser
The audience was surprised to see that the two girls were unharmed and wondered, "How could they survive and get out of the collapsing building without getting seriously injured?"
After all, the restrictions of the battle arena were set at the "Golden Rank" level. Gold-ranked creatures don't have such strong defenses, and if an entire building collapsed on any of them, there would most likely be nothing left of it but a bloody mess. Their bodies would not be able to withstand such a load.

"The younger sister used her wings as a shield, and her hair to create a way out of the rubble," Esma explained to those who could not see what happened because of the dust cloud.
"As for Lina, she used the will of the sword to cut her way through again," Alois added, a note of admiration and slight jealousy in his voice.
"It's amazing that she, being a creature of the lower realm, can use the will of the sword more than once," Alois continued to ponder, not taking his eyes off Lina, who showed no signs of fatigue.
Suddenly, he remembered something and, looking up from the screen, looked at Milica.
"Has she also started practicing the Path of the Beast Tamer?" he asked.
"Yes, she has already signed her first contract and may have already started forming her Second Beast Soul," Milica confirmed, confirming Alois' assumption. "And don't forget that Lina is not just a human, but a Fallen Valkyrie who has lost her wings."
"Her rank is only Platinum now, but she used to be a Diamond-ranked Valkyrie, and combined with the Path of the Beast Tamer, her Soul Force has reached incredible heights, which allows her to use the Will of the Sword," Milica shared her thoughts. This, of course, caused surprise among all those present, and their opinion of Lina quickly changed.
Now, no one could say for sure who would emerge victorious from this fight.
***
Arabel, appearing in front of the audience in the form of a Dark Valkyrie, caused a heated discussion, just as Idan had previously become the Alpha of Fire.
Many viewers received information from their Systems and were amazed to learn about the incredible bloodlines of the Guild Leaders. This certainly caused them to feel some jealousy and admiration at the same time.
Lina, seeing Arabel in the form of a Valkyrie, reacted extremely emotionally. She recalled her avatar's memories and her own dislike of the Valkyrie race, especially her mother.
Lina tightened her grip on her sword, and a spark of lightning flashed under her feet. She disappeared from her seat, leaving a trail of purple trail behind her, and rushed forward.
Although she had lost her wings and her rank had dropped, it did not mean that she had completely lost her affinity with the lightning element. Lina consciously tried not to use her magic power, as she was born as a Lightning Valkyrie, and the element of lightning was always associated with her own hated bloodline.
Arabel's intuition, which had not yet fully recovered from her cough and was slightly disoriented, told her of the impending danger.
Under the control of the symbiotic creature, which also sensed a threat to its master, her black hair began to move, lengthening and attacking the approaching Lina with great speed.
The combination of the lightning element and the unique ability {Ghost Stats} further accelerated Lina's already incredible speed beyond the Golden Rank.
Lina, seeing Arabel's black wave of hair, gripped the hilt of the sword tightly and decided to make full use of the Will of the Sword. She put not only her Soul Force into it, but also her Aura, as well as the Lightning element.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Three slashes, made from different angles, collided with a wave of dark hair, cutting and destroying them, opening Lina a direct path to Arabel.
Arabel, surprised by Lina's strength, stepped back, swinging her sword at the same time. She attacked Lina, putting aura and the element of darkness into her sword.
Lina did not dodge, but met Arabel's attack with a swing of her sword, enhanced by aura and the element of lightning. She parried the blow without even slowing down, and quickly closed the distance between them.
"Damn!" — Arabel cursed when she saw that Lina had almost caught up with her and was about to attack. She held out her sword and wings to defend herself.
However, instead of just swinging the sword, Lina used the will of the sword again. She released three slashes, enhanced by her Soul Force, Aura, and Lightning element.
The first two slashes collided with Arabel's black wings and tore them apart. The third slash collided with Arabel's sword, knocking her aside and opening her completely for Lina's blow.
Everything happened so fast that some viewers watching the broadcast did not even have time to follow Lina's movement.
The last thing Arabel saw before she was thrown out of the Simulation was Lina's cold and unruffled expression before she swung her sword with lightning speed, taking her battle avatar's life.
With Arabel's death and her disappearance from the Simularium, Idan, who had fought Nemo almost as an equal, felt his unique ability {Ghost Stats} cease to function, and {Dexterity} stats returned to their original values.
Instead of continuing the attack, Idan stepped back, and the first thought that came to his mind was obvious.:
"Did Belle lose?"
Nemo, noticing Idan's actions, stopped for a moment, and then seized the initiative and attacked Idan.
Idan, a little stunned by Arabel's defeat, summoned his ten fire swords to deflect Nemo's blows. Without the {Ghost Stats} boosts, his speed decreased and he focused entirely on defense.
Nemo, of course, noticed this. Realizing what was happening, he smiled behind his mask, but no one saw that smile.
If Idan used to cause him some problems using his ten fiery blades, now the situation has changed, and Nemo began to crowd Idan.
Soon, the two youths noticed someone approaching. They didn't have to guess who it might be—they already knew.
And indeed, soon Lina appeared in their field of vision — a beautiful girl with long black hair and emerald eyes. As soon as she appeared, she first glanced at Nemo to check his condition, and then shifted her gaze to Idan.
At the same time, Idan felt the power that he could not use at the very beginning of the duel become available to him.
Idan clearly realized that he was now able to use his Spirit Form to change the course of the battle, which was not in his favor.
