Parallel Memory-Novel

Chapter 471 Challenge From Princess Elenia!

"Mia Frostine of the Human Race is the winner of this match."

The crowd erupted into thunderous applause, their admiration for Mia's incredible talent and skill evident.

On the other hand, the Elves didn't know how to respond. They believed in their Rank-S genius Elrond but he was defeated quite easily by the human genius.

The fight took 20 minutes and while it was quite long compared to average fighting time of yesterday, in the fight between two Rank-S, it was incredibly quick. That just goes to show how strong Mia was compared to Elrond.

Mia descended from her icy throne, her demeanor humble and gracious. She approached the frozen Elrond and, with a wave of her hand, released him from his frozen prison.

Elrond had a disappointed expression on his face. He couldn't believe how easily Mia defeated him. His attacks were all useless and the difference could be seen in the state they were in.

Mia didn't even seem tired and was just as how she appeared before the fight. Elrond on the other hand, however, was visibly exhausted and injured.

As he stood there, feeling the weight of defeat, the crowd fell into a contemplative hush. The Elves in the audience exchanged uneasy glances, their faith in Elrond's invincibility shaken.

"How strong is that girl from the human race? I still don't think she gave everything she had!"

"She must be the strongest in the human race. Her control over her mana is extraordinary. Elrond had no chance."

"How could someone even defeat someone like her? She could just hide behind her Ice Palace and control the area." …

The spectator and other geniuses couldn't find any flaw in Mia's fighting. Whether it was a close fighter or long ranged one, her crowd control skill was too strong. As long as you get trapped into the Ice Palace, you could only find yourself toyed by Mia.

And there was no way to escape the Ice Palace. Its range covers the whole arena, so as long as one is fighting in the arena, they will be caught inside the Ice Palace which is controlled by Mia.

"Elara, don't you think she is the strongest? She might be the person we are looking for! I know how strong Elrond is and I never thought he would be defeated so easily."

King Tranduil asked Elara who had also come to watch the fight.

"Indeed! She is very talented but there might also be others who are more talented than her. We can just wait for the contest to end before deciding."

Elara responded.

"Elenia, what do you think? Do you think that you can defeat her?"

King Tranduil asked Princess Elenia who was beside him.

"Hmmm… "

Princess Elenia was a very confident person but it didn't mean that she looked down on her opponent, especially the strong ones.

"She is indeed a powerful opponent but before my arrows, her Ice Palace can only be destroyed. If that is all she has, then I will win!"

Princess Elenia responded.

She also had fought with Elrond and had always won against him. She would take 10 minutes to defeat him, much less 20 minutes like Mia did.

King Tranduil looked at Princess Elenia and then at Mia Frostine. He felt that Mia Frostine could give his daughter a hard time. Then he thought for a second and then said, "If you win against her, I will give you that artifact you wanted!"

"Really?"

Princess Elenia excitedly exclaimed. She had begged her father several times, but she was never given that artifact. She didn't think her father would be willing to let go of that artifact.

"Then I will definitely win!"

Princess Elenia declared as she stared at Mia Frostine.

Other Rank-S geniuses were also wary of Mia. They already were but after this fight, they might put Mia at the top of the geniuses.

As Mia and Elrond stepped out of the arena, the tension that had filled the air began to dissipate.

People praised Mia as she walked towards her seat. Even the other Rank-S human geniuses praised Mia. They were also in Rank-S like Mia but had to admit that Mia was much stronger than them.

And another thing was that Mia was much younger than them. Even so, they were the ones who needed to show respect. After all, in the human domain, strength is what matters most.

"Nice job!"

Amelia said as she hugged Mia.

"You were incredible!"

"Congratulations!"

Zero said

Mia nodded with a smile. She was only soft in front of Amelia and Zero. For others, it will be met with her cold response.

"Okay then! Let's move to the next battle!"

******

After Mia's fight, there wasn't any particular fight that was as good as them. And the one person who fought from Hiro's group was Zion.

Zion wasn't very lucky as his opponent was Rank-A -. However, despite the difference in the rank, Zion managed to win.

His opponent was from the Druid race. With his incredible regeneration, the battle had continued for an hour. It was the longest fight of the contest.

And the reason for this was because of Druid, who kept regenerating his injuries which enabled him to last longer. While on the other hand, Druid wasn't really able to deal any serious damage to Zion.

Zion with his spear would destroy any attack that came his way. And because of his patience, he never threw powerful attacks unless he was sure that his opponent would be defeated.

At the end, Zion used his ultimate skill Celestial Piercing Strike at the time when Druid mana seemed to be exhausted which has slowed his regeneration.

Despite being one rank lower, Zion had won, which managed to attract a lot of attention to him. While the Druid obviously was humiliated as he was defeated by Rank-B.

Even Zero was surprised by Zion's strength. As far as he knows, it was not time for Zion to know that move but considering how the Main Characters have been growing stronger than said in the , he could understand it.

And it was good for him that Zion was strong. There was nothing wrong with Main Characters being stronger.

After that fight, there were a few battles before it was lunch time. The lunch was served by Royals to the participants and everyone was gathered together.

Well, lunch was an awkward time for them. But at least, it seems that through the fights, different races do acknowledge each other.

Unlike their first time, other races didn't argue with humans which could be considered progress. However, the amount of stares that Zero received was insane.

Though they were not really looking at him but rather Mia. Other race's geniuses would occasionally glance at Mia, though Mia ignored all of it.

After that awkward lunch, there was still some time for the contest to resume. Other races were talking with each other while humans were a bit outcast.

*THUCK!

At that moment, Princess Elenia also entered the room. It seems that it is Princess Elenia's style of entering by such loud noise.

She scanned the area, looking for someone. Then she stopped at where the humans were gathered and quickly made her way towards them.

Princess Elenia approached the group of humans with an air of confidence, her gaze fixed on Mia Frostine. As she reached them, she folded her arms and raised an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed.

"Mia Frostine, right?"

Princess Elenia asked with arrogance.

Mia met Elenia's gaze with a composed expression. "Yes, that's me," she replied calmly.

"I've been watching your fights, Mia! You're good, I'll give you that. But don't think for a moment that defeating Elrond makes you invincible. I intend to prove that. So make sure that you don't lose any other person."

Princess Elenia said.

Mia remained composed. "I welcome the challenge, Princess Elenia! As long as you win, we will definitely meet in the future."

"Humph! I will!""

As the two strongest women challenged each other, the rest of the participants and spectators watched with anticipation.

The rivalry between Mia and Elenia added another layer of intrigue to the contest, making their upcoming battle one of the most highly anticipated events of the tournament.

After having said what she wanted to, she was about to leave. However, her eyes fell upon Zero.

( This was the guy who saved Sylvia from my attack! )

Princess Elenia remembered.

"You!"

She pointed to Zero.

Zero, who was just watching from the sidelines , looked left and right and didn't see anyone.

"Me?"
