"First Labour. Great Lion Roar!"
An ear-splitting round shook the entire arena, silencing the stadium for a split second. The Sound Wave formed a shock wave and flew straight to Agata and her Love Balloon.
The shock wave ripped the pink heart open, releasing all the pink-colored fog inside it. However, the shock wave continued working its magic and blew away all the fog to the side.
Agata drew a gasp as she took a step back. Alea just neutralized her attack that proved to be more effective against Alea.
"…" Although she took pride in her strength, Agata knew she couldn't win against Alea in brute strength alone. And with her main weapon rendered useless, she started thinking Alea might indeed have some qualities that would defeat her.
Still, the battle just started. There was no one who could predict the oute.
"Cupid Arrow." Agata raised her hand as a pink colored bow and arrow appeared on her hands. She pulled the bow and aimed at Alea.
"Enchant Blade."
The moment Agata released her arrow, Alea slashed her sword and shot out a crescent-shaped flame that collided with the arrow. "Flamming Ge-Sword."
Boom.
The fire exploded and obliterated the arrow, but one would think what she did was wasting her power because Agata didn't put much Magic Power inside her technique.
Even so, Agata and Alea couldn't care less about it. They all knew the battle would end within ten minutes as none of them planned to hold back.
Alea's eyes opened wide as she started observing Agata's movement like what she always did to Theo. As expected from a World Class Student, it took her so long to learn her movement. Luckily, this was the second time she faced her, it was enough for her to understand Agata's movement.
"Grand Burst."
A series of explosions engulfed Agata, but the latter released a pink translucent barrier that protected her from the fire. After the explosions stopped, Agata quickly charged forward and attacked Alea with her fist.
Alea took a deep breath and received her attack with her sword, but the latter continued its attack in an unpredictable way as if she moved based on instinct instead of logic. She was supposed to hit her chest after her shoulder, but she ended up hitting the stomach. This should create a flaw in her movement, but her left hand was always there to stop anything from happening.
If this were any other person, they would have difficulty figuring out her attacks, but Alea simply looked through her attacks and emotion to know where the next attack would e and block it.
'She can keep up with me?' Agata furrowed her eyebrows as this was the first time someone could do it on their first try. Little did she know, Alea simply knew her next movement and had no intention to figure out her movement. 'No, I need to break free from this shackle…'
She received Alea's blade with her hand again while sending another punch to her face.
Alea received it while kicking her stomach.
The two blew away each other and coughed out blood.
Before Agata stood up, Alea smashed the ground with all her strength. "Herculean Strike."
Bam.
A crater, a fifth of the arena, appeared, shocking everyone.
"!!!" Agata widened her eyes and fell a bit, losing her balance again.
In that split second, Alea used another skill and waved her hand. "Phoenix Talon."
Because Alea used her sword most of the time, many people almost forgot that she was a Magic Warrior. The first requirement to bee a Magic Warrior was to fight like a Magician and a Fighter at the same time.
And she summoned a phoenix made of her bright red flame.
The phoenix flew straight to Agata. However, Agata formed a pink shield before her and said, "Love is the strongest force in the world."
The shield blocked the phoenix and swallowed the explosion right after.
Regaining her balance, Agata quickly leaped toward Alea.
Alea also responded in kind and released another strike. "Inch Slash."
Agata snorted and avoided it easily as she moved around Alea and arrived at her back. "Your power… I may have no chance against them, but just like the myth, your weakness is your brain and emotion. This is why I prepare another one for you to indulge in."
"Desire Perfume. Splash."
A pink ball appeared on Alea's back as the latter turned around, ignoring the ball and staring at Agata. Surprisingly, Alea smiled. "Yeah, you are not the first person who knows my weakness. That's why I am prepared to take everything you give while presenting it back to you."
"!!!" Agata quickly lowered her vision and found a red ball in front of her stomach.
Boom!
The two balls exploded at the same time. The red ball blew Agata away until she crashed to the wall while Alea smelled the sweet fragrance and stabbed her sword to the ground, using it to support herself as she breathed heavily.
No one knew what happened, but Alea felt her body extremely hot. If she didn't have God of Fortitude's blessing, she would have already drowned in pleasure. At this point, even the slightest touch would arouse her.
Agata had several cuts on her body and hands because of the crash, while blood came out of her nose and mouth. Yet, she stood strongly in the arena before charging forward, not wanting to give Alea enough time to recover.
"This is the end. You can't win against pleasure."
Listening to her words, Alea couldn't help but smile as she recalled the day Theo defeated her. Theo actually used her own unique eyes to make her think she had the advantage even though she didn't.
"It's not that you read me… It's me who allows you to read me, huh. Thanks, Theo." Alea turned out to be faking her own condition as her mental strength was actually beyond Agata's prediction. She simply looked weak and lured Agata in just for one moment. "I may be dumb, but I'm not that dumb."
"Huh?"
"Second Labour, Rhyme Hind." Alea smirked as her feet started glowing.
When Agata was about to reach her, Alea disappeared from her vision.
"What?!" Agata widened her eyes and turned around, finding Alea swinging her sword. "Your speed…"
"This is the end. Third Labour, Devouring Hydra." Alea waved her sword from below as if she played golf. However, the friction between the tip of her sword and the arena ground created a little bit of spark that soon turned into nine heads.
These nine heads were none other than Hydra's heads. They had green skin with big blue dots on them. Their appearance was a mix between a dragon and a snake.
"Swallow her!"
