Chapter 799. Death Match 2
Kailen stood at the opposite end of Damien Lee.
Suddenly, the large arena shifted into a very icy landscape. The icy landscape was full of several icy mountains. The place was very humid, and the skies were damp with poor visibility.
Kailen floated at one end of the peak of a mountain. Damien Lee also floated at another end of the peak of the same mountain.
A glint of coldness flashed through the eyes of the centaur. He had come too far as a transcendent; he could not die here. He could not look down on his opponent. Also, his twin sister would definitely not handle his death well. He had to win.
"I need to go all out from the start," he thought.
As for Kailen Darkhaven, his abyss-like eyes were calm, his expression unreadable. No coldness, no anger, no anxiety. Nothing. He was simply calm, as if he was just here for an errand that would end very soon.
Thousands of transcendents seated in the bleachers were watching the two floating in the arena, which had now literally turned into a large icy plane.
"Damien is definitely taking his opponent seriously, from his expression. Has he encountered him before? That could be the case. How else would they have a grudge against each other if they have not met before?" several thought. "It seems whatever previous altercation they had, Kailen Darkhaven was a threat to him. I’ve never seen him this serious fighting someone before. The last time he had a death duel with someone at the same level, he killed his opponent in a landslide."
Many thought.
"If Kailen Darkhaven is not faking his calm expression, then he may have the strength to back his confidence," others concluded.
There were quite a number who also thought Kailen Darkhaven would lose. It was simply not possible for someone who was a rank 3 novice stage transcendent just a few years ago to get to rank 4, and become as strong as Damien Lee in just ten years. They stared at the two opponents, who were facing each other.
Damien Lee was the first person to move. He took a step forward. A large water spear appeared in his right hand.
Kailen Darkhaven equally took a step forward. The void melded and twisted around him with each step he took, causing a large spatial katana to appear in his hand.
Damien’s figure turned into a blur as he shot towards Kailen Darkhaven in an instant. Kailen Darkhaven’s figure disappeared in an instant, eyes calm.
The two appeared before each other at the center of the mountain. Spatial katana and water spear came down on each other with overbearing might. The spatial katana and water spear collided, causing rings of shockwaves to spread across the mountain peak. Several mountains even collapsed in an instant.
Kailen Darkhaven and Damien Lee separated from each other, spatial katana and water spear respectively in hand. Then, they clashed again.
Kailen’s katana came down on Damien, causing the void to bend. The katana rippled in and out of existence, as if it didn’t exist. One moment, it was as if it didn’t exist; in another, it was slicing across Damien’s face.
Damien was not idle either. His water spear cleaved upwards, tracing the trajectory of Kailen’s attack with the precision of a veteran transcendent. The two weapons sliced towards each other, colliding into one another.
Bang... Bang... Bang...
The figures of the two transcendents turned into streaks of light and blurs, as shockwaves rippled across the icy region with each clash of their principle weapons. Mountains collapsed and icy terrains were reduced into oceans.
Kailen Darkhaven would disappear, melding with space and reappearing in what he presumed to be Damien’s blind spot. However, Damien Lee would react with uncanny swiftness, deflect the attack, and launch one of his own.
"Such power," several spectators thought. They expected someone on the Royal Fate rankings to be this strong, but to think Kailen Darkhaven was this powerful. Those who previously thought he was weak realized that this fellow had broken into the rank 4 novice stage transcendent level, and he was powerful enough to exchange several attacks with Damien Lee, someone who had been on the Royal Fate rankings for quite some time now.
How high was this guy’s principle comprehension speed?
As for those who theorized he had become extremely powerful, they nodded. "As expected. This fellow is really not simple," several of them thought.
The situation of the battle persisted for a while. Several realized that nothing was changing. It was as if no one could harm the other.
Damien also realized this. His eyes widened in disbelief. He could not believe this. No... how was this possible?
"Are you using me to test your strength at the rank 4 novice stage transcendent level?"
Several embers of realization appeared in the eyes of several watching the battle. They turned to Kailen Darkhaven, who was calmly floating across from Damien.
"What do you think?" Kailen replied.
"Am I really going to die to this guy?" Damien thought. Fear flickered in his eyes. He knew there was no way to stop a death match. Not even the professors could intervene in such things. No... Kailen Darkhaven may be as strong as him, but he was definitely not powerful enough to treat death battle like a circus game, using him to test his strength, right?
Xesla stood up from her seat. She could not help but have the urge to rush ahead and intercept the battle. But she knew it was not possible. If Kailen Darkhaven was really stronger than her brother, then... no... it could not be possible. He was strong enough to be of equal strength to her brother. He had just broken through to the rank 4 novice stage transcendent level. How could he be as powerful as Damien, someone who had been at this level for a while? Her brother could kill him. She needed to have faith in him.
As for WhiskerFang, a smile was creeping across his face. Finally... was the bastard that killed his brother about to have the retribution he deserved?
The rest of the audience watched everything unfolding with amusement and surprise. Would Kailen Darkhaven really kill Damien Lee, or would he be killed?
"Even though I’m in the low leagues of the rank 4 novice stage transcendent level, it seems I’m not too helpless. Time to end this," Kailen mused inwardly.
Damien felt a lethal threat encumbering him. As Kailen Darkhaven pointed his hand forward, he also decided to launch the strongest attack in his arsenal.
