Chapter 173: Big Win


    ?


    ''I can''t escape, damn it!'' Karthos thought before he was struck by Enorin''s sword and thrown away, his armor slightly cracking.


    Karthor could feel heavy blows of each skilling at him, and failure to parry them as he kept umting injuries.


    Aleron watched the battle and made a bet as well to activate a Gacha Quest.


    ''Eno, finish him off without getting injured in the slightest if possible.''


    Enorin''s eyes suddenly shone a savage glint, going all out on Karthor as she used her job ss skill-Warrior''s Cleave, inbination with her own crude Savant-grade skill-Blooming Shiv Flower.


    It was her Concept, Prism Scope''s power weaved into her skill-Light Burst de. In the next moment, Enorin''s heavy board sword unleashed a cross-sh, but with strange mirroring phenomena on its front and back, which reflected the cross-shes'' four points, and suddenly, the cross-sh transformed and bloomed into a hundred-petaled flower with this Prism Scope''s effects.


    Each petal was a projectile akin to a sh, golden and sharp with golden lightning crackling around it, condensed with great power and mastery.


    Karthos had no choice but to take it head-on as this sort of skill was easily controlled, and dodging was no solution unless the attack struck something else, but there was nothing inside this Domain but darkness and emptiness.


    Aleron had removed suppressive effects from Karthor as he had made the bet for Enorin to defeat Karthor without his help and without getting injured even slightly.


    The sh urred as Karthor''s defense met Enorin''s attack, his fiery-red scaled barrier and shield blocked the attack, but not for long.


    The metallic-shining crimson magma shield cracked and shattered along with several petals of the flower, Karthos groaned as he poured in more energy into the barrier, but it was only a matter of time before it broke, so he decisively used a movement skill and dashed to the side while his barrier broke and exploded, destroying half of the petals.


    But it was not over and Karthos knew that as he sensed the two attacksing his way, one was the flower and the second one was Enorin''s second attack as she was a meter away from Karthor, her intensely glowing broad sword with lightning patterns searing into it with thest bit of her power in this two-pronged attack.


    Karthor had a trump card, a one-time use defensive item. ''I lost tons of energy in the previous defense...what do I do?''


    The barrier from a four-pointed blue crystal with a golden metallic border in his ne shone and formed a honeb-structured barrier around him as both attacks struck him.


    *Crack...*


    ''Shit!''


    Looking at Enori, he was terrified at the sheer and pure focus in her eyes with an unadulterated desire to obliterate him by giving her all.


    The barrier cracked even more under the pressure of both attacks, so with no other hand, Karthos gave his all, pouring his energies to toughen the barrier andyer more defense, but the helplessness in his eyes couldn''t be more obvious now.


    He was in the death''s maw. Unable to contact outside due to this Domain, and using his one- time use defensive item, he was on hisst legs by trying to dy his end.


    "FUCK!" Karthos roared before his barriers and defenses shattered, along with the Blooming Shiv Flower, but Enorin''s sword struck him and exploded like a nuke, bursting out a lightning explosion that obliterated Karthor and his gears.


    Enorin''s vision blurred and she fell a bit, but she felt her butt on Aleron''s thighs and rxed as her head rested on Aleron''s chest.


    Sitting on his Arcana Throne with Enorin on hisp, Aleron patted her head and said, "Good job. You really went all out there."


    Enorin''s win granted Aleron a lot of Gacha points! To remain unharmed in front of an equally strong opponent was not easy. Even though Enorin was more powerful due to her Divine- ranked Bloodline, Symbios Gear, and Job ss, her stats were still around the same as Karthos, some even lower, because Karthos also had Divine-ranked Bloodline and his foundational stats were higher than Enorin''s since he had progressed in Ascension-rank lifeform while Enorin had just broken through and only had the passive increase from Ascension Life Rune.


    The bet was difficult due to the condition of Enorin not getting injured in the slightest, and Enorin knew if she lengthened the battle, she would lose her Master''s bet.


    The only way was to go all out. The edge in power went in her favor because she had two Anomaly attributes that boosted her power, one from her Bloodline and one from her Symbios Gear, not to mention, her weapon-the Symbios Gear''s first Gear form, was stronger than Karthos''s weapon.


    But to ensure her victory and fulfill Aleron''s bet, Enorin squeezed everyst drop of her energy and went all out. She hadpletely exhausted her Stamina, Magilore, Soul energy, and even her Bloodline Essence in thest attack to boost it to kill Karthor, after which she waspletely drained and weakened.


    "You really did good, Eno," Aleron kissed her forehead and whispered, "Take rest and sleep...i will join youter."


    "Mhmm," Enorin nodded.


    Aleron gently put his hand over her eyes before she found herself in the bedroom in Necropolis. The exhaustion and drowsiness hit as she quickly went into a deep slumber.


    On the other hand, Aleron looked at the Gacha Points and sighed in amazement. ''I didn''t think she would do it without getting injured, but awesome. I got 30,000 Gacha Points in this


    quest.]


    [Astral: Fantastic, mindblowing, outstanding, Mastah.]


    [Gachapi: Master, we should escape now, quickly. Take both ns with us or they might face Graystar''s wrath."


    ''Right.''


    Without asking questions or informing anyone, ALeron teleported all the people of the Elf n and Draconite n into his secret realm.


    The Draconites and Elves were startled and panicked as they suddenly found themselves in a huge barren ck ground with a chain of volcanos a kilometer away.


    This was one of the many Inds in the Eldertide Archipgo.


    Aleron exined to them why they were here, and not surprisingly, both ns were more than happy to settle in a world-type secret realm with abundant resources and opportunity under this new ruler who didn''t seem bad.


    The Elves''s leaders were already willing from their previous interaction with Aleron while Draconites were half-willing and half-helpless.


    After talking a bit more, Aleron shifted the Elves to another ind which was more in line with their affinities while Draconites stayed on the volcanic ind.


    Aleron got an idea, so he also decided to arrange something fun.


    Looking at the screen before him, Aleron nodded with a grin as he finished preparation after


    ten minutes.


    Demonic Ind - 1,974,322 Demons.


    Elven Ind 264,403 Elves


    Draken Ind - 510,399 Draconites.


    All three inds showed a big screen disying Aleron and a big portal above the screen.


    "The portal you see leads to another secret realm called Whispering Hollow. It''s not as big as this and the monsters and resources there are only upto Exceed-rank. So, those of you at Exceed-rank or below can enter inside to explore and acquire the resources."


    "What you all get is up to you. Conflicts and all to acquire resources are fine, and if you die, you are responsible for it, but...death is not the end here. Your death will only arrive when your lifespan of soul runs out or your soul gets destroyed."


    "As such, even if you die, the only price you need to pay is that you will need to start from scratch in a new body. I haven''t learned how to create a properly functional physical body yet, but I n to do that eventually."
