The Transparent World opened, concealing the raging divine power within it. Roya gripped his longsword and placed it at his waist.
Taking a deep breath and feeling his heart pounding like a drum, Roya's lips curled into a smile.
"Ultimate Sword Technique - Purple Lightning".
Roya murmured softly, and the next moment, Roya's figure had already disappeared.
Purple lightning filled the area. Sensing something, Velseria suddenly turned her gun and fired at Roya's location.
A dense barrage of large-caliber bullets shot out from the thick muzzle, another simultaneous burst of fire.
However, before Velseria could even breathe a sigh of relief, the snow-white sword enveloped in purple lightning had already arrived in front of Velseria. The purple lightning flashed by in an instant, piercing through the Gundam's body.
All of this happened so fast that Versailles didn't even have time to react.
Gundam's firepower is indeed very strong, and its attack power can be said to be top-notch, but it is accompanied by its bulky body.
Even with all sorts of magical spirits to reinforce Gundam's defenses, once it encounters a holy sword like Esther's that can easily pierce through any defense, its so-called defenses become a joke.
The silver-white sword easily pierced through the tall body, the nearly five-meter-tall Gundam was pierced, and with the sparks from the collision of metal, Velseria let out a muffled groan, her face turning pale and ferocious.
"Damn it, how could you do this!"
Verseria's angry voice came from inside the mecha, which raised its right arm and slammed it down hard at Roya's location.
The punch wasn't slow, but it wasn't fast enough to hit Roya. Roya drew his longsword and dodged to Velseria's right. The punch didn't land on Roya; instead, it struck Velseria's armor.
Sparks flew, and the Gundam tilted to one side again.
Velseria struggled to manipulate her elven armor, stabilizing the massive mecha giant.
Roya gripped the Demon-Slaying Holy Sword again, a mocking look on his face: "With your level of skill, it's no wonder you're no match for Lian Ashbell."
These words infuriated Visselia, but the next moment, a silver-white slash struck from the sky to the ground. The violent sword blade swept across, leaving a deep, long gash on the five-meter-tall tower.
Verseria tried to make a move, but the next moment, a tremendous force erupted from the right. Roya kicked straight at Verseria's massive mech. The force of the kick was not light. Almost instantly, the already crumbling parts of the steel fortress were completely disintegrated. The thick armor, scraping against the air, was sent flying backward with a sharp gust of wind. The Gundam was also slammed hard into the ground.
Smoke and dust rose, and when the dust settled, what lay on the ground was that enormous Gundam.
The Gundam turned into white light and disappeared, revealing Velseria in the center.
Velseria looked completely lost, her face filled with disappointment.
As Roya approached, he heard Viseria muttering, "Impossible, impossible! I'm clearly, I've become so much stronger than I was three years ago, this...it's impossible!"
Roya walked up to Velseria, looking at her with pity. Without saying a word, Roya stretched out his right hand and gripped her throat tightly. His pity was undisguised. Roya said to Velseria, "What use is it for someone who pursues power because of obsession and is lost in power, no matter how strong you become?"
Verseria began to struggle, her face turning red from holding her breath.
Roya released her grip, and Velcelia fell to the ground. Velcelia gasped for air, glaring at Roya and saying, "What do you know, you bastard?"
Roya shrugged, and just as he was about to ask something, he saw Velcelia suddenly clutch her heart in pain.
Luo Ya: ? ? ?
Is this some kind of staged accident? I didn't use much force.
He did grab her by the throat just now, but Roya's intention was just to make Velseria behave. Besides, even if someone dies in the Elemental Realm, in the outside world, it's just a matter of mental trauma. That's why Roya used a little force.
Judging from Versailles' expression, it didn't seem like she was trying to scam someone.
Chapter 226 The End
At this moment, the group had already brought the remaining elf users to Roya's side, having bound them all.
Alice stared in astonishment at the sight of Versailles collapsing to the ground in pain. She took a few steps forward and tried to help Versailles up.
But she was ruthlessly pushed away by Versailles.
"I, I..." Velseria couldn't utter a complete sentence, her face contorted in a grimace.
Velseria clutched her heart tightly, and the divine power emanating from her body began to run rampant in an unpredictable manner.
Roya's brow furrowed even deeper; Versailles' current state didn't seem to be something Roya had caused himself.
Roya glanced at Velseria casually and asked, "As expected, the acquisition of power always comes at a price. For that level of divine power, you must have used some methods, right?"
Velseria snapped, "Shut up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he fainted completely from the pain.
The Elemental Realm of Spirits is a projection of the spirit. Although damage suffered in the Elemental Realm of Spirits will be converted into spiritual loss, spiritual damage suffered in the Elemental Realm is not so easy to deal with.
The pain was consuming all of Velseria's consciousness. Roya and the others around her exchanged bewildered glances. Alice quickly stepped forward and reached out to touch Velseria's forehead. The pain still flashed across Velseria's face from time to time.
Alice, not understanding, asked directly to the girls tied together, "Do you know what's going on?"
The bound men exchanged glances and shook their heads.
Alice sighed. Although she disliked this older sister who had even tried to steal members from her team recently, she couldn't bear to abandon her and stand by and watch coldly when things got to this point.
Memories of the past surfaced in her mind. Velseria had taken great care of Alice when she was a child, and at that time, Velseria perfectly embodied all the characteristics of a knight.
She was upright, kind, strong, and confident. At that time, Alice always aimed to become a knight like Vilcalia.
Unfortunately, the battle three years ago almost completely changed Versailles.
Luo Ya sighed, glanced around, and called over the referee who was watching the commotion from a short distance away.
The referee stepped forward, glanced at the girls who were bound hand and foot and at Vilcalia lying on the ground, barely alive, and nodded.
The referee said indifferently, "In that case, declare Roya's team the winner."
After saying that, he waved his hand, symbolizing the opening of the gate between the elven elemental realm and the mortal world. When everyone came to their senses, they were already in the elven forest.
Esther has returned to her human form and is now standing obediently beside Roya.
Knowing Esther's purpose, Roya smiled and reached out to pat the girl's head. Esther's lips curled up slightly, revealing a satisfied smile.
After handing Velseria over to the other elf companions, Alice gave them a few more instructions and watched them leave.
Alice sighed, watching the departing figure and muttering, "Really, is a single victory or defeat really that important?"
No one spoke, but the referee standing to the side said curiously, "That guy might have a secret."
Upon hearing this, Roya's lips twitched. Did she even need to say that? Even a fool could tell that Versailles was hiding something else.
Generally speaking, the higher the level and the more powerful the elven magical equipment, the more divine energy it requires to use.
Velseria's elves are sealed elves, and the power of their elven magic armor is extraordinary. After a barrage of bombardments, even the most sturdy buildings probably wouldn't withstand two or three seconds of bombardment.
The elven magical armor with this level of power would consume a huge amount of divine energy just by using it.
Judging from Roya's perspective, with Velcelia's elven magic armor, an ordinary elf would be drained in less than forty seconds.
However, Vilcalia used this elven magic armor recklessly, and during the battle, her divine power energy showed no signs of being depleted.
As if reading everyone's thoughts, the referee pondered for a moment and continued, "I have a very bad feeling about her. Judging from that power and her reaction, this power that does not belong to her is likely a cursed mark."
Roya frowned and muttered, "A cursed inscription?"
At the same time, he recalled information about the cursed armor imprint in his mind.
Transplanting engraved spells is not without cost; to some extent, it can almost be described as exchanging one's life for immense power.
In the historical accounts of the Lanbal War, the existence of the cursed armor imprint caused countless elf wielders to die due to its horrifying side effects.
Therefore, the engraving of spells was listed as a forbidden item by various kingdoms.
Even so, due to its powerful nature, cursed markings, though officially prohibited, are still exploited by some evil organizations behind the scenes.
However, if what the referee said is true, then the problem will be much more complicated.
In an instant, Alice's expression turned extremely ugly.
Alice had known Versailles for many years, and she knew best that with Versailles' personality, she was very likely to do such a thing.
"No, I need to find the dean."
After saying this, Alice hurriedly ran towards the location of the academy, leaving the crowd looking at each other in bewilderment.
"It seems that I don't need to report this matter to the Dean."
The referee shrugged, waved, and walked towards the academy.
Claire and Linslet exchanged a glance, while Lynn Ashbell remained silent, seemingly deep in thought.
After a moment's thought, Luo Ya said, "The training definitely can't continue. Let's leave it at that. Today's training will be postponed to tomorrow. Dismissed."
———————————Dean's Office———————————————————
Grevas covered her head, listening to Alice's report with a headache on her face. It was clear that Alice's report was causing Grevas a lot of distress.
Alice was staring at Grevas with an attitude that said she wouldn't give up until Grevas helped her.
Grevas sighed. To be honest, she had no way to deal with the stubborn girl in front of her. She could only nod and say, "I will investigate this matter thoroughly. There have been rumors recently that some scoundrels have come to the academy. Perhaps they have something to do with Vilcelia's matter."
After saying that, he told Alice to leave.
After spending a day in the infirmary, Versailles was back to her energetic self, though a faint gloom lingered between her brows.
Chapter 227 Preparation and Departure
The thought of that day almost made Viseria grit her teeth.
