Chapter 56 Complete Suppression
Stepping onto the field and feeling the cheers, Qiyana's desire for victory was no longer as intense as it used to be, but when she actually walked amidst the roaring crowd, she still couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
As Nessa entered the arena from the other side, looking at Qiyana opposite him, his face was filled with undisguised disgust.
Unlike yesterday, today, Inessa changed out of Ixtal's traditional clothing and put on a more combat-ready, close-fitting outfit.
The azure silk battle armor was woven from solidified magic. When worn, even if Inessa did not move, the primordial axioms engraved in the magic lines would still operate on their own, enhancing Inessa's various abilities in every way.
Her hair was styled into a high ponytail, and her eyes were sharp and cold.
Looking at Qiyana, Inessa said coldly, "My foolish little sister, let me teach you how to respect your elder sister."
As soon as he finished speaking, Enessa waved his hand slightly, and six palm-sized axiom arcs flew out from behind him, weaving around him in the surging wind.
The Axiom Arc, a common weapon of Ixtal, can produce corresponding enhancement effects on different elements through the Soso inscriptions on it.
For example, now, on the axiom arc of Nessa, three different primordial axioms of wind, thunder, and fire are attached.
Located on the outskirts of the square, Tallinn nodded thoughtfully.
All I can say is that, as the first princess of Ixtal, Inessa may have had her leg broken in the original storyline, but it depends on who she was fighting.
In Tallinn's view, while Inessa may not be able to match the true Yuntar in academic matters, he has clearly surpassed ordinary people in the application of the primordial axioms.
Although the Primordial Axioms are a type of elemental magic, they are not actually simple spells. Or rather, they differ somewhat from the magicians people usually imagine.
For example, the axiom of wind, in many spells, is directly condensed into wind blades, or unleashed into a super-large storm to annihilate enemies.
However, in the concept of the Primordial Axioms, it is itself a vibration and a driving force. The same is true of the Axioms of Water; although it has the ability to generate water, its true core is to make magic flow or form undercurrents.
According to Tarin's observation, based solely on the interweaving of the three fundamental axioms, Nessa is clearly no less capable than Qiyana.
The core reason for this is that the equipment is good.
Touching his chin, Tarin could more or less sense that the equipment on Nessa's body greatly enhanced his resonance with the elemental magic in the surrounding environment, thereby amplifying his mastery of the Primordial Axioms.
Tarin could sense it, and Qiyana, who was truly dedicated to the Primordial Axioms, could naturally sense it as well.
Seeing Inessa's arrogant expression, Qiyana sneered and said, "I think you should thank the guy who crafted this equipment for you. Otherwise, you wouldn't even be able to fight me now; you'd probably be forced out of the game due to a conflict of axioms shortly after it started running."
As she said this, Qiyana looked at her manicured nails with a bored expression.
"But it doesn't really matter—after all, without this equipment, you wouldn't even have the right to stand in front of me and confront me, and I would lose the chance to make you face reality."
"In a way, you're really unfortunate."
With a dismissive smile, Qiyana said, "You're twelve years ahead of me, but you're not even a fraction as good as me."
Upon hearing this, Nesa's expression immediately darkened.
Before she could say anything, Farin, acting as the referee, stepped onto the field and briefly explained some rules—such as not being able to kill—before announcing the start of the match. At that very moment, Nessa showed no mercy and suddenly pointed at Qiyana.
"That ignorant brat, thinking he can disrespect his elders just because he has a few talents?"
But Qiyana's face showed not a trace of fear; instead, she coldly smiled and gripped the Oretaar Ring Blade that rested on her shoulder.
As the magic was activated, the patterns on Soso glowed faintly under the energy stimulation, and undercurrents surged in the air. With just a slight turn of her body, Qiyana's figure disappeared from everyone's sight.
Six axiom rings struck empty air, unable to locate Qiyana. Nesa's face showed a solemn expression, and she immediately manipulated the axiom arcs to protect herself.
"idiot."
Upon seeing Nessa's reaction, Qiyana couldn't help but let out a mocking laugh. Then, her figure emerged from the sheltering wind, her right arm gripping the Oretar Ring Blade as if to slash horizontally.
"The essence of the Fire Axiom is to aggregate scattered magical power, allowing its form to rise—what you call burning is merely the outflow of energy. I never imagined you would treat it as the core and activate it?!"
As she spoke, Qiyana swung her Orethal Blade with a sudden burst of light. A hazy, earthy-yellow aura erupted from the blade, which was several times larger than a normal axiomatic circle.
With the resonance of magic and natural elements, invisible energy continuously overlapped and solidified, forming an invisible extra mass that blasted towards Inessa.
Upon hearing Qiyana's words, Nessa was clearly prepared. He immediately manipulated six axiom arcs to form an interwoven shield in front of him, which, combined with the protection of the storm, formed an invisible atmospheric shield.
But in the next instant, the atmospheric shield in front of Nessa was directly and brutally shattered by Qiyana.
However, Nessa was clearly not unprepared. The moment the atmospheric shield shattered, six axiom arcs generated intertwined lightning, accompanied by a deafening storm, and hurtled towards Qiyana.
Qiyana didn't care. She just gripped the ring blade in her hand even tighter, and a hazy halo spread out, forming a layer of semi-transparent solidified magic on Qiyana's body. She withstood the oncoming lightning and forced her way to Inessa's front.
Looking at Inessa's ugly face so close to her, Qiyana also revealed a smile full of pleasure.
With a loud bang, Nessa was violently blasted away, turning into a blur and embedding himself in the stone wall, sending dust flying everywhere.
She landed a successful blow, but Qiyana showed no pride on her face, as if she had only accomplished a trivial task.
"Let me teach you. The Thunder Axiom is about the disintegration and rapid conduction of magic, and it is the least effective against the solidification and accumulation of magic of the Rock Axiom."
Qiyana said slowly, "That guy Tarin always says that what you learn from books is never enough—so don't stop, my mediocre elder sister, let me teach you how to truly master the Primordial Axioms."
As Qiyana walked towards Inessa once again, this time Inessa completely lost the confidence and pride she had just displayed.
In fact, when Inessa had just broken free from the stone wall behind him and saw Qiyana walking towards him, his first reaction was to back away, his eyes filled with a mixture of fear and apprehension.
But then, that fear turned into anger.
With a low growl, Nessa's magical power began to gather at an astonishing speed.
Amidst the surging and roaring, the battle suit on its body began to resonate with the magic in the atmosphere.
The magic that had been solidified through Ixtal's unique methods began to decompose in reverse, giving Inessa terrifying magic far beyond normal levels in an instant.
Almost instinctively, Farin stood up, ready to intervene and stop the fight.
As a Yuntar, Farin's knowledge is beyond question.
Especially now, Farin is quite aware of how enormous and uncontrollable the magic power generated by reversing the solidified magic power through the release of the battle suit would be.
Even for many Yuntars, controlling this level of energy is by no means an easy task.
While Nessa can be considered a genius, her combat talent has not yet reached Qiyana's level, and due to her age and experience, she is even inferior to a typical Yuental.
To recklessly wield such energy is tantamount to sending a child with a torch into a warehouse full of gunpowder. Its terrifying destructive power is simply beyond the comprehension, understanding, and control of a child!
But as soon as Farin stood up, Tarin stopped her.
"No need to worry." Tarin's gaze was slightly surprised as he looked at the abnormality on Qiyana's arm.
Farin appeared very serious about this.
"Now is not the time to be reckless! The magic Nesa has unleashed is simply beyond her and Qiyana's control and resistance!"
"That depends on who's using it." Tarin shook his head, then looked at Qiyana's retreating figure and said, "On the contrary, Qiyana—really, I didn't expect her to secretly keep this up. She even kept such good news from me!"
Upon hearing Tarin's words, Farin subconsciously followed Tarin's gaze and looked at Qiyana's exposed arms.
Within Farin's line of sight, on Qiyana's arms, patterns that were primarily pale green mixed with other colors—not a gemstone solution, but rather resembling the outlines of some kind of plant sap—had appeared at some unknown time.
This surprised Farin slightly.
As soon as it appeared, the patterns began to glow, growing brighter with the magical energy emanating from Qiyana's body.
"That is—?"
"Recovery drug, hardening drug, demon drug."
Tarin, also looking curious, said, "These medicines can be taken orally to produce effects, but like this, directly drawing the Primordial Axioms along the body's receptors, and then activating the Primordial Axioms' incantation when needed to make it effective—"
This is indeed a way of using it that I never imagined.
Even Tallinn was amazed by this, and could only say that the world is indeed not lacking in geniuses.
Tallinn hasn't quite figured out how to manifest life energy in the form of primordial axioms yet.
Unexpectedly, Qiyana has begun to explore new paths, utilizing the life energy within her body to a certain extent, primarily based on primordial axioms and secondarily on life energy.
Admittedly, using methods like Qiyana is not as effective as drinking it directly.
But what truly concerned Tallinn was the fact that the system of primordial axioms and the system of life energy were compatible.
Although Tarin could see at a glance that Qiyana's work, which was based entirely on instinct, still had flaws in the system of life energy.
But without a doubt, "Qiana has grasped the rudiments of the axioms of life."
Upon hearing Tarin's reply, Farin was slightly taken aback, not even immediately realizing what Tarin was talking about.
Instead, I subconsciously wondered when the fundamental axiom of life was added to the primordial axioms.
But soon, Farin realized that the so-called axioms of life were the way life energy manifested under the primordial axiom system that Tarin had mentioned yesterday.
Realizing this, Farin's eyes narrowed sharply, and she looked at the arena stage with disbelief, her gaze tense and curious.
And in everyone's sight, as the patterns engraved on the body surface light up one by one, life energy is replenished through the magical resonance of the body surface.
The hardening drug and the demon drug also resonated with Qiyana's own life energy, and began to be absorbed by Qiyana in a pure energy form, where they began to take effect.
Subsequently, almost everyone could clearly feel that Qiyana's overall condition improved dramatically.
In fact, this was the first time Qiyana truly unleashed the axiom of life.
Even though there had been no prior attempts, Qiyana didn't care, because she was the first princess of Ixtal.
Pride or arrogance, Qiyana has the confidence to succeed on her first try!
Soon, with the burst of life energy from within, the enhancement of her physical abilities and perception allowed Qiyana to clearly feel the flow, vibration, and resonance of every inch of magic in the air.
A hint of pleasure surfaced in her eyes. Even though Qiyana didn't turn around, she could feel the astonished gaze from Tarin behind her.
"You arrogant fool!"
Seeing that Qiyana didn't dodge or defend, but instead charged towards him, Inessa let out a low growl, and then, enveloped in magical power, he suddenly charged towards Qiyana.
Looking at her elder sister rushing towards her, Qiyana simply revealed a confident smile.
Then, Qiyana raised the Orter Ring Blade, and with the elemental light on it shining, she swung it sharply. In the next moment, the intertwined energy turned into a torrent and roared out!
Rumble!!
With a deafening roar, Nessa fell from the dust with his eyes rolled back, while Qiyana stood unharmed in the center.
