Idan and Arabel were puzzled by Geminia's actions.
Geminia personally asked them to help Nemo reach this point, claiming that Nemo was almost the perfect candidate to pass the test.
However, instead of imdiately starting the challenge she had been waiting for for so many years, Geminia decided to test the rest of the participants first, leaving Nemo for last.
Was Geminia trying to demonstrate sothing in this way, or did she just want to have fun fighting with others?
The couple could not understand what motivates Geminia.
"Nemo, keep your eyes on Es and Sierra's fight. We think Geminia wants to show you sothing by fighting these two!" Arabel did not miss the opportunity to share her suspicions with Nemo and urged him to pay attention to Esma and Sierra's fights with Geminia.
Nemo, also taken aback by Geminia's refusal, took their words seriously.
As in the battle with Eulalia, Geminia imdiately took on the form of Esma, and when Esma saw her copy, she just grinned.
Being an avatar, Esma always hated her other copies, because they reminded her that she was not real, but only a copy, and that in the future her real self could call her back and take her life, and she herself would beco only an experience and a nutrient for the real one.
Esma didn't hesitate and imdiately took on her Valkyrie form. Geminia followed suit without hesitation. This ti, she didn't waste ti talking.
Idan and Arabel, who were watching the battle of the Diamond-ranked beings, were amazed by the speed and power. Their eyes couldn't keep up with all the movents, attacks, and spells.
Just like last ti, they only saw the consequences of their collision, not the actions themselves. It seed to them that only a few seconds had passed since the start of the battle, but for Esma and Geminia, the battle lasted much longer, as their reactions and movents seed to stretch the ti.
As ti passed, the battle beca more and more chaotic.
Nemo was watching intently. Unlike the pair, he was a Gold-ranked being and could pick up on their movents a bit to figure out exactly what was going on.
The battle continued for so ti, but in the end, Esma suffered a crushing defeat.
Unlike Eulalia, who had lost consciousness, Esma was clearly aware that in her current state she would not be able to defeat her opponent. Therefore, she admitted defeat without further ado and returned back without saying a word. Geminia, hearing Esma's words about defeat, stopped and did not pursue her.
When Esma returned, she was in a gloomy mood. She was lost in thought, considering the outco of the battle. No one bothered her.
Shaking her head, Sierra stepped into the barrier.
The battle began imdiately.
Geminia, as usual, took on the form of Sierra in the form of a Valkyrie, and the two warriors engaged in battle.
The entire area was instantly shrouded in darkness, making it difficult for others to see.
After several exchange attacks, Sierra decided to use her full strength for the first ti since she suppressed her disadvantage.
Sierra was aware that this step could jeopardize all the efforts that the couple had made to help her overco this problem. However, the desire not to lose to such a worthy opponent overshadowed all rational thoughts.
Three pairs of Sierra's huge dark wings covered half of the arena, while the other half was enveloped by three pairs of wings of her twin, Geminia.
The entire arena was engulfed in pitch darkness and silence.
No one could know what was going on inside.
Arabel began to worry about Sierra, believing that she had done sothing reckless.
As ti passed, the atmosphere beca increasingly tense. Esma had already regained consciousness and was waiting with so concern for the outco of Sierra's battle with Geminia.
Although everyone understood that Sierra would most likely be defeated, everyone had a small hope that she would be able to gain the upper hand.
Their hope was dashed the mont the shell of darkness cracked, revealing the outco of the battle.
Sierra was on her knees, her exquisite armor was shattered, and there were nurous horrific wounds on her body.
However, what struck the others was the condition of her opponent, Geminia. She, too, was in a deplorable state, her body covered with the sa terrible wounds as Sierra's. However, unlike the latter, she was much more cheerful and stood on her feet. Even with the naked eye, it was noticeable how her wounds were healing at an astonishing rate.
"I... I admit defeat..." Sierra gasped, no longer able to resist what she couldn't.
After admitting defeat, Sierra knelt for a while longer, trying to co to her senses. Finally, sohow getting up, she returned back.
Arabel imdiately ran over to Sierra and began to examine her wounds. Sierra did not resist, silently allowing herself to be examined, but a smile played on her blood-stained face.
Esma just shook her head, looking at Sierra's condition, and turned her gaze back to Geminia, who was standing in the center of the zone.
By this point, Esma realized that she couldn't defeat this opponent no matter how hard she tried. She carefully considered all the possible moves and couldn't find any that could turn the tide of the battle.
It seed that the opponent knew all her tricks and actions. But the most terrifying thing was that unlike herself, the opponent had almost endless energy.
Thanks to the two battles that had taken place, Nemo realized several important things that completely changed his perception of the upcoming fight with the Guardian.
He realized that the approach used by all three of them — Eulalia, Esma and Sierra—was wrong from the very beginning.
It was necessary to end the fight at the very beginning, not allowing it to turn into a protracted battle of attrition. After all, the opponent had endless energy, and she didn't get tired.
"Es and I were never destined to defeat the Guardian from the very beginning!" said Sierra, looking at Nemo, who was lost in thought.
Everyone imdiately paid attention to her words.
"The Guardian is much more dangerous than the 'Perfect Doppelgangers.' She completely copies her opponent, without missing a single detail, including mastery of techniques. I suspect that the true rank of a Guardian is not limited to the lower realm. Like , her true rank is sowhere in the highest realm, which makes her almost invincible in this realm."
Everyone held their breath, realizing the seriousness of Sierra's words.
"But unlike and Esma, you have a chance to defeat her in a one-on-one battle!"
Sierra's words confird Nemo's guess. He understood why Geminia refused him and asked him to fight these two first in order to show him and give him the answer to the question of how to defeat her.
