Chapter 567 Sudden Surrender

She drew the number two slot.

Griffin and Fellaria drew right after her.

Steven’s Eye of Insight caught every detail with perfect clarity.

Griffin had drawn number one, and Fellaria had drawn number two.

There was no good way for Steven to warn Fiona in time.

As luck would have it, of all the numbers in that box, Fiona had pulled number one.

A quiet sigh escaped Steven’s chest.

He hadn’t expected to draw the bye himself.

He hadn’t even needed to reach into the box.

That left Fiona facing Griffin, and Bianca facing Fellaria.

Steven would sit this round out entirely.

The result left more than a few people speechless.

The strongest fighter in the whole tournament, sidelined by nothing but the luck of the draw.

Robby’s voice rang out across the arena.

“The drawing is complete. Five narrows to three, beginning now!

“Fiona will face Griffin!”

Steven said quietly, “Don’t push yourself too hard out there. If it looks bad, just concede.”

Fiona nodded. “Understood.”

Steven and the others stepped back down from the stage.

They watched Griffin and Fiona take their places above.

Griffin wore a warm smile. “No offense, Fiona, but I don’t think you’re really a match for me.”

Fiona’s expression stayed perfectly flat.

Part of her wanted to test herself against him regardless, though she understood exactly how strong he really was.

“Guess we’ll find out.”

Griffin smiled gently. “Fair enough. My apologies in advance, then.”

Fruch

In the back of his mind, a darker thought lingered. If the chance came, he wanted to plant a beast core ir her.

A woman like this needed to belong to him, one way or another.

A fierce pressure erupted from Fiona’s body.

Frost crystallized around her.

She didn’t hesitate for even a second.

She called on her Three-Sigil power immediately.

Compared to Griffin, her mark tier sat lower than his, and her Divine Sigil level trailed a full rank behind

as well.

On top of that, Griffin himself was a genuine monster in his own right. By any reasonable measure, her odds of winning looked slim at best.

Still, she owed it to herself to try.

Wrapped in frost, she looked every bit a queen carved from winter itself.

Frostdragon Thousand-Blade Cleave!

She opened with her strongest technique straight away, refusing to waste time holding anything back.

She committed fully from the first move.

That massive frost blade stretched out past thirty feet long.

Hundreds of smaller ice blades materialized around her, ready to strike.

She unleashed everything she had, all at once.

She needed this single strike to measure exactly how strong Griffin truly was.

The moment Griffin saw her move, he didn’t hesitate either. He clenched both fists, and raw power exploded outward from his body.

A brilliant golden light blazed across the stage.

He let out a sharp shout and slammed his foot against the ground.

He closed the distance in an instant.

His golden fists collided directly with Fiona’s massive frost blade.

In that single instant, Fiona’s colossal ice blade shattered into pieces.

It didn’t hold for even a full second longer.

One single exchange, and it had already broken apart completely.

Ice crystals scattered through the air like shattered glass.

Finesh

The storm of frost blades racing toward him met the same fate, obliterated by the sheer force radiating his fists and aura combined.

The raw power behind those two fists was nothing short of terrifying.

The entire stadium sat in stunned silence.

Griffin surged forward toward Fiona, desperate to close the distance so he could drive that beast core energy straight into her body,

Fiona seemed to sense exactly what he was planning.

She planted her foot and retreated, putting distance between them.

Just as Griffin closed to within ten yards of her.

A cold, clear voice rang out across the stage.

“I concede!”

Griffin nearly stumbled from the sheer shock of it.

“Wait, what?”

He stood there, momentarily stunned, the beast core/energy already gathered in his palm. She was conceding, just like that?

Every spectator in the stadium sat frozen with disbelief. She was giving up already?

This was a match to decide the top three, and she was just walking away from it.

An awkward, confused silence settled over the crowd. Nobody quite knew what to make of it.

They thought she should have thrown everything she had into a fight this important.

How could she surrender so easily, without even testing herself further?

But Fiona had already turned and started walking off the stage.

She refused to give him any further opportunity.

A strange, unsettled feeling crept over Griffin.

Is it really this difficult to plant a beast core in either of these two women?

Steven watched from the sidelines, a quiet, mocking thought crossing his mind. He’d seen clearly that Griffin had tried to use that corrupted power again.

That man just never learns, does het

Finishi

He’d get exactly what was coming to him soon enough.

Robby announced the result without hesitation.

“Griffin wins!”

A flicker of frustration passed through Griffin’s mind, though he let it go.

He put on a smile. “Good match.”

He turned and stepped down from the stage.

The next fight up was Bianca against Fellaria.

Fellaria hadn’t spoken a single word since the tournament began, almost like she’d taken a vow of silence.

She carried striking, exceptional beauty, recognized as Oakridge Academy’s most celebrated student.

In some ways, she reminded people of the Fiona who used to exist, before everything changed.

Her natural talent ran even deeper than Fiona’s, though.

She stepped onto the stage, and every footfall carried an unmistakable weight of authority.

Bianca matched that resolve without hesitation.

She’d promised Steven she’d claim second place, and she intended to keep that promise no matter what it took.

Her long purple blade gleamed with a cold, unsettling light.

The clash between these two celebrated beauties instantly set the entire crowd on fire with excitement.

The whole stadium buzzed with anticipation.

Steven’s eyes narrowed slightly. Bianca should have no real trouble winning this one.

The fight kicked off with explosive intensity.

Two breathtaking figures clashed across the stage in a blur of motion.

Every strike from those two mesmerizing fighters pulled at the hearts of half the young men watching from the stands.

Even just watching from a distance felt like being caught in some kind of intoxicating spell.

This clash piited fire against water, two opposing forces locked in perfect, deadly balance.
