Chapter 1205: I Win
Allen sensed Essence moving through the ground underneath him. When he sensed the correct location, he jumped high into the air, his Essence Soul turning around.
Alena appeared in a pool of magma where her brother had been and was not surprised to see him no longer there. No one would wait for her to attack them, so she had already guessed that he would fly into the air.
She looked up just in time to see the Ice Essence Soul turn around with his back full of spikes pointed at her. Then, it shot out the spikes.
Like bullets from a machine gun, the ice spikes all fell to where the princess was. The princess immediately reached out with the tendrils of her own Essence Soul, forming a sort of net above her that took the brunt of the entire force.
She felt a slight pain in her body because the Essence Soul took some damage, but it wasn’t something she could handle. The net disappeared and a javelin appeared in the Essence Soul’s hand that dripped with magma.
She targeted it at her brother who was in the air and had nowhere to go.
The magma javelin flew through the air, arriving right where the prince was. A referee moved close just in case, but he sensed some Essence being used at the last second and stopped.
The javelin went right through the prince, leaving a hole in his body. The crowd gasped in surprise when they saw that the princess had killed her brother.
However, when one looked closely, one could see that the prince that had been pierced through was melting.
From a clump of ice, the prince reappeared with a sword in his hand that he struck at the princess. The princess moved back and let the lava pool underneath her jump up like a volcanic eruption.
The prince stopped right before he hit the wall, but he sent the sword flying anyway. The princess didn’t expect that at all and had to abruptly pull back her arm where the sword was going to hit.
The sword landed on her Light sword, immediately breaking it into a million pieces. The light sword turned back into bright light, disappearing from where it was, no longer to be of any use to the princess.
The prince huffed a bit as he felt his core drain every time he used a technique. The Ice puppet teleportation technique especially was something that cost a lot of Essence.
Even so, he knew that his sister had even less Essence than him. He just had to keep up. He shot two ice blades that flew through the air toward Alena.
Alena crossed her arm, letting the Magma armor she wore take the brunt of the damage. The princess was sent flying backward, but she hadn’t been damaged at all. She quickly got back up, revealing two large black streaks that remained on her armor where the blades landed.
The frozen rock was not turning back into magma at all.
Allen’s eyes widened in surprise. Alena was terribly low on Essence.
He pointed a finger at the princess and suddenly used his Ice beam. The princess tried to dodge it, but her left arm was hit once again, leaving a black rock that covered the entire left arm all the way up to the shoulders.
She tried to move her arm, but the most she could do was crack the rocks. She needed a few more seconds to fully get it off, seconds she did not have.
The prince sent two more ice blades. The princess used her whip to hit both of them, destroying them before they even got to her. However, in the process, she destroyed her own whip.
She threw away the remaining whip and looked at her brother’s angry eyes that only he could see through the two holes in her magma helmet.
The prince was short of breath, but he was only moments away from victory. He could sense absolutely no Essence from his sister, so he knew he was going to win.
He just had to force her to use any if she was hiding before dealing with the final attack.
The prince’s Essence Soul turned around once again, sending out a barrage of ice spikes in the princess’s direction.
The princess quickly jumped to the side, rolling around quickly to dodge the incoming attacks. She got back up and jumped again as another volley of ice spikes landed where she was.
When she got back up, she was short on breath. The magma on her body was starting to drip away as she could no longer keep it up. Her Essence Core had run dry completely.
The prince saw that and realized what had happened. His sister had indeed run out of Magma Essence.
She still had her Moonlight Essence core, but that was a Low Essence Soul core. It could not be used during their battle at all.
He had won.
“I’m sorry, sis,” he spoke. “But I win.”
The ground stirred as all the ice around him started shaking. They all came toward him, gathering near him like metal shavings close to a magnet. When they all gathered, it was enough ice to fill up an entire house.
And then, the prince sent it all in his sister’s direction.
A wave of snow and ice all flew sky high as they all dived toward where the princess was.
The princess’s face changed from frustration to nothing as she gave up on trying to get away. The pile of ice slammed onto her, like an avalanche it drowned her completely.
The ground shuddered at the weight of the ice and then everything went still.
The prince finally slumped to the ground, having used every last bit of Essence in his body. He had won.
He smiled and was ready to cheer when a warm orange light grew from the pile of snow. Before the prince realized what had happened, something stirred in him.
From right next to him, the princess appeared through a pool of magma with a javelin in her hand. She pointed it at the prince’s neck.
“No, I win.”
