Chapter 465 Zero's Turn~!

"Zero Elea of Human race Vs Elowyn of Dryad Race!"

His name was finally up!

"Zero, Good luck!"

"Do your best!"

Amelia and Mia said to Zero. Zero nodded with a smile.

He was up against the trickiest race. If one had to choose which one of the races couldn't be beaten by force then the answer would be Dryads. Most of their battles lasted for more than 10 minutes.

It was because they would hole up in their trees if the opponent is aggressive and wait for their pollen to affect the opponent. Even if the Dryads were stronger than his opponent then also they will use similar tactics.

They hardly use brute force to win!

However, Zero was confident. He already had thought of a way for him to win easily. Although if his opponent was stronger than the plan he devised might not work.

Nonetheless, he will soon find out!

Zero walked down calmly as all the people's eyes were on him. While he didn't generate as much interest as when Hiro or Mia came, they were indeed interested in Zero.

It was because of his earlier action where he had managed to save Sylvia from the attack of Rank-S Princess Elenia. For him to be able to do that, many knew that Zero was capable.

His opponents also walked towards the arena as her race cheered for her. Compared to his opponent's cheer, Zero almost has none from his side. He didn't seem very popular among the human geniuses, at least that could be concluded when compared to Elowyn.

Well, another reason could be that Elowyn was a beautiful woman, so the men cheered for her.

King Tranduil also watched with interest. However, it wasn't as much as his daughter, Princess Elenia.

( He had managed to save Sylvia Mavis from my attack unscathed. He should be worthy of me paying attention to her. )

Princess Elenia, although most of her attention was taken by Sylvia, she also remembered Alan who saved Sylvia. She didn't think that Zero was Rank-S but nonetheless felt that it was praiseworthy to be able to dodge her attack.

Hiro's side was also focused on the battle that was going to take place. They already saw the glimpse of Zero's power and they hoped to see more.

Zion particularly was staring at the arena like a stalker. For him, it seems that his biggest opponents are Hiro and Zero who had both surpassed him during the school days.

"It is finally Zero's turn!"

Misha said.

"He should be able to win the fight if the opponent is weaker than S-Rank."

Sylvia said.

Lisa nodded to her prediction. Judging by how easily he defeated the monsters during their journey to Eldoria, they can safely say that Zero is at the Top of Rank-A and none can truly threaten him.

Well, that was if other races didn't have the same monster as Zero.

Anyway, in the arena, Zero and his opponent Elowyn were face to face with each other. His opponent looked at him with interest.

[ Insight Perception ]

Zero used his skill to check on his opponent's rank. His opponent rank was A - which was one sub rank below his. Moreover, her speed was only at Rank-B + which meant that she was very slow compared to her.

Although it could be fast if compared to other Dryads of the same rank. It was because Dryads mostly summon trees to block the attack while using pollens and vines to attack their opponent. So, for their fighting style, speed was not really needed and for that reason their speed stat was not as good as their other stat.

However, their other states were much higher because of this. They speed most of the time, strengthening their mana and stamina which is needed for long fights. Her mana was Rank-A - which could be considered very high.

In any case, Elowyn looked very confident. She might feel that it was lucky to have Zero as her opponent.

Elowyn might think that the fight is easy since humans are greedy and easy to manipulate. Human geniuses who fought with Dryads have mostly lost as they were truly vulnerable to desire and easily gave in to those illusions.

Because of that despite knowing the rank difference, she believes that she could win. She was also top among the geniuses of her race and had won several fights against even the geniuses who were ranked higher than her.

The air crackled with anticipation as the referee raised his hand, signaling the imminent start of the battle between Zero Elea and Elowyn of the Dryad race. The spectators leaned forward, their eyes locked onto the arena, eager to witness the clash between these two formidable contenders.

"Are you both ready?"

The referee asked.

Zero summoned his sword as he nodded towards the referee. The Dryads were the same as she also nodded her head with a smile.

"Begin!" The referee's voice echoed through the arena, and the battle was set into motion.

Elowyn stood confidently before Zero, her eyes fixed on him with a sultry gaze. She knew the power of her race's illusion magic and believed she could easily manipulate his desires to gain an advantage.

With a soft smile, she began to weave her seductive illusion, attempting to draw Zero into her magical web.

Her surroundings seemed to shift and transform into a mesmerizing garden, the air filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers.

Elowyn's appearance became even more enchanting, her features ethereal and captivating. She moved gracefully, her every motion calculated to entice and allure.

As the illusion took hold, some of the spectators, especially the men, started to show signs of being affected. Their gazes turned dreamy, and faint smiles played on their lips. Even some of the women seemed momentarily lost in the illusion's charm.

However, Zero was unaffected as he was protected by his mana barrier. Elowyn already knew that Zero wouldn't succumb to her illusion magic instantly and was ready to prolong the fight as long as she needed to.

She was going to summon her trees to protect her from Zero's attack. However, Zero had already moved by that point.

In an instant, his sword was unsheathed, its blade gleaming in the arena's light, and before Elowyn knew what had transpired, it was at her throat.

"Winner! Zero Elea of the Human race!"
