Chapter 1409: The best mories remain in the past
It was obvious that Anelez had beco the main favorite to fight Adam. However, it wasn’t just Adam who chose his opponent. The candidates also had the opportunity to understand what Adam was worth.
Anelez’s response was aid precisely at this.
She, like everyone else here, knew that Adam had gone through many battles on his journey. It wasn’t so important for her to know the details of the most difficult one, but the answer to the sa question he had asked her.
“My most difficult battle, yeah?” Adam tapped his chin. “I have an answer for you.”
The corners of his lips curved into a smirk.
“I wouldn’t want to go through my toughest battle again. However, not because I’m afraid I’ll lose. No, I’m sure I would win again.”
He sighed heavily.
“Just… If that happened, my impressions of the toughest battle in my history would change significantly and would certainly beco much worse. There’s no doubt about that. So, if I had that opportunity and I did it, I would just ruin my own mories.”
Silence.
No one said anything, even the perpetually dissatisfied Erada stared at Adam with wide eyes. She certainly didn’t expect that kind of answer from him.
The only one who could decide whether this answer was worthy was Anelez.
“That’s an excellent answer, Mr. Adam,” she said. “Should I go back to the hallway, or is there anything else you want to ask ?”
“Yes. There’s one more question.” Adam’s eyes flashed. “Are you ready to fight today?”
Anelez gulped as she nodded.
“Of course. That’s why I ca here. I hope you understand that I will fight with all my strength. I don’t want to help you. My main goal is to beco stronger and break through my barrier.”
“Hah, could I ask for anything more?”
Xander turned to Adam.
“So, is this our candidate? Will you and she go through the Rule of Blood?”
“Is there a problem with that?” Adam asked.
“No,” Xander shook his head. “Not at all. I think it will be an excellent fight. There’s just one thing left to decide.”
“Hmm?”
“The battlefield. I don’t think it would be appropriate to fight in one of the arenas. Izardo is a great city, but there are spacious areas around it where you two can let loose and not worry about anyone interfering.”
Adam shrugged confidently.
“The main thing is that there is enough space and no rules. Fighting in the arena was fun, I must admit, but banning abilities? That’s too harsh a restriction. Once was enough for .”
Anelez nodded. “I agree. I may even know a suitable place. If you decide to consider it, of course…”
…
Even though Adam wanted to get stronger as quickly as possible, he wasn’t going to rush every mont of his life.
They didn’t rush into battle imdiately after the fighters were decided. They spent so ti considering all the options, ca to a conclusion, and began preparations.
Xander helped Anelez, while Helasa gave Adam advice.
It might have seed that he didn’t need advice, but Helasa was more experienced and knew more than he did about the Monster Hybrids.
After all, today, Adam had t all the Monster Hybrids that had ever existed in his life. Until that day, they had remained an unknown force to him.
Tap.
Helasa placed her coffee cup on the table as her gaze settled on Adam.
“Don’t forget that, unlike monsters, who don’t have any special weapons until they beco the Lords, the Hybrids have sothing similar to what you have, the Phantoms.”
“Yeah, I know, you’re talking about the Solar Form, right?” Adam waved his hand.
Helasa nodded. “Exactly. You’ve never seen what it looks like, but I’m sure you have so kind of picture in your head. Just rember that it’s not only a Hybrid’s weapon, but its trump card. Once a Hybrid uses its Solar Form, it ans the battle is entering its most serious stage.”
“Fighting a Hybrid…” Adam lingered as he looked at the ceiling. “They mainly rely on physical strength, don’t they?”
“Yes. However, Erada, Xander, and Anelez all have a range of abilities. You shouldn’t underestimate them. Especially that girl, Anelez.”
“Hmm? Did you notice sothing unusual about her?”
“No…” Helasa bit her lip. “That’s the problem. You and I know you don’t stand a chance against Xander, he’s not on your level. Erada is on the sa level as you, but you can understand her whole personality in ten seconds of talking to her. Then, this girl… She is both confident and shy. Her aura is powerful, but her voice trembles with weakness when she recalls past battles.”
“Isn’t that a good thing?”
Helasa gasped. “Ah?”
“If she had that reaction to her past battles, then it must have been sothing special, right? Still, she’s alive and ready to fight on. That shows she’s stronger than she seems.”
After a few monts, Helasa nodded.
“Maybe you’re right. In any case, be careful. It would be quite disappointing to spend so much ti preparing, planning, and selecting a candidate only to lose in disgrace in the end.”
“Hey, I thought you were on my side. Don’t you believe in my victory?”
Helasa’s lips curled upward into a smirk.
“Well, you defeated one fighter in the arena with your bare fists and energy. Like many monsters, I’ve heard your na, but I don’t know the extent of your abilities. So, for , this fight will be full of surprises.”
Adam looked westward, where the battlefield awaited him tonight, just a few hours away.
The silent expanse awaited him, as did Anelez, who was preparing for what might be the most important battle for her in the last few decades.
Clutch.
She grabbed the edges of the sink, looking at her reflection in the mirror.
‘Adam Vinter… the stellar phantom. If I defeat him, there will be no more obstacles on my way to the Lord Level. I have to do this. He ca for victory, but I have the sa goal.’
