Chapter 309: Reverse Strategy

Let it be Kassandra, the audience or the top mighty figures of the empire.. Everyone aside from Kahn was stunned and left speechless after this sudden demand by the young swordsman.

Kassandra had her eyes wide open as her jaw almost hit the floor. The next moment, her face turned red as a flustered expression appeared on her beautiful face.

"What.. What kind of nonsense are you talking about?!" asked Kassandra in a high-pitched tone.

Kahn was teasing her in front of the whole empire.

"Hey.. You started it first.

Are you that dumb? Will I really give into your proposal because you asked nicely?

Looks like you know nothing about the outside world, princess.

Only a pretty face but no brains." taunted Kahn in a sarcastic tone.

Embarrassed.. Kasandra felt embarrassed as soon as he mentioned this part.

It wasn't her but her father's command to propose this idea to Kahn and try to not make enemies with him because they too wanted Kahn to join their side.

Also, embarrassing her this way was Kahn's plan to get in her head. It would be useful if he could make her lose composure as he verbally provoked her in front of the empire.

Because no prideful and independent woman would let such remarks pass by easily.

"This kid… the more he pisses her off, the fiercer she will get. I already warned him.

If he keeps doing it.. She might just beat him to death." said Stronoff, who was seated in their VIP room along with Kassandra's father.

[Kassandra.. We will take care of this later. You can start fighting now.] said her father, Damon Mikealson.

The sixth stage mage and the current clan leader of the Mikealson clan also came because today.. He expected to see his daughter win this competition and pave the way for their faction for the upcoming future.

During the competition, Kasandra was the most popular candidate ever since she started from the bottom rounds unlike other semi-saints of the faction. So not just normal people but even the saints from other factions had expected to see her in the finale.

The biggest oddball that no one expected to see was Kahn himself.

"I see. Then there's no point in me holding back, right?" asked Kassandra as she clenched her teeth and tried to hide her anger after Kahn made a fool out of her.

[Just you wait, you scumbag. You'll be begging me to stop.] she thought as a battle intent filled her eyes.

BOOM!!

Two loud bursts of the auras instantly filled the battle ring as Kahn and Kassandra released their full strength right off the bat.

A violet aura along with a dark and red aura filled the battlefield. Millions of people among the audience also felt their intensely terrifying killing intent.

Kahn quickly activated Sword Savant skill and created 50 aura blades. All his battle-related passive skills in effect and one by one.. His body let out four different auras.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Four consecutive shockwaves were released from Kahn's body as he activated all of his attack buff skills and received an immediate boost in his stats.

SHRILL!!

Kassandra on the other end finally revealed her skills as six different elemental orbs formed after she channeled her mana and created six different constructs.

And soon, these orbs levitated high in the air and took different shapes in just five seconds..

Two giant lances, two shields and two bows, each of which was glowing with the matching colors of their respective elements such as lightning, light magic, fire, water, earth and wood.

And to top it all, all of these conjured weapons were 10 meters tall in size.

Lightning crackled one lance while blistering heat from the second one raised the temperature of the atmosphere.

Two heavy and rugged shield made of earth element cracked the ground as soon as it landed on the battle platform. While the battlefield shook as soon as the wooden and earth elemental shield banged against the ground.

One bow made of the light element while the other one made of highly compressed water hovered in the air as Kassandra fortified these constructs with her mana.

[So just as I heard.. She has the skills of the summoner class. And yet.. This isn't even half of her strength.

Looks like she wants to probe my strength first.] thought Kahn as he charged towards her conjured construct.

Compared to his size, these constructs appeared like tall towers.. And if this was a real battle…

Kassandra would be easily able to fight against more than a thousand people because her constructs had the best combination of defense, attack and long-range attacking skills.

And based on their size alone.. The damage she could do to an enemy force would be massive.

Bang!!

Kahn's own summoned aura greatswords collided against these highly dense elemental constructs as per Kahn's will while he himself charged to close the distance between him and the opponent.

The next second, he appeared 100 meters as if he teleported using the new skill he created after merging Side Hopper & Flash Steps after the semifinals. This was now his fastest agility and movement skill that surpassed all the other ones he had before.

And he named this new SS Rank skill as…

Quicksilver!

[She's smart. She's using the best element suited for attacks, defense and long-range damage. I guess she's no poser after all.] thought Kahn as his figure flickered again and appeared 100 meters closer to the opponent.

BOOM!!

A loud aftershock resounded as Kahn appeared on the southern end after he quickly dodged a strike from the lightning lance.

His own aura swords started attacking Kassandra's weapons and shield as Kahn's figure appeared and disappeared from time to time while he evaded the light and water arrows shot from her bows.

BOOM!

Bang!

Dhang!

Clang!

In just a minute as soon as both the combatants seriously started fighting and their aura weapons started clashing, the battle took a heated turn.

Kahn quickly swung lucifer and used Lightning Flash attack to break past her defensive shields, only to receive an aftershock from the point of impact.

His aura blades spammed the attacks with different elemental blades as he looked for an opening while consecutively using quicksilver skill to avoid getting hit.

[Right there!] thought Kahn and the next second, he appeared between the gap between the giant shields that was created after a volley of attacks from his swords.

"You're full of openings." spoke Kahn as he dashed forward after infiltrating inside her defensive formation.

"Is that so?" replied the female opponent.

But the next moment, Kassandra gave a light smirk as she spoke in a mocking tone.

"You're right where I want you to be."
