The Conquerors Path - Chapter 447

Just as the girl had appeared in the arena, the bustling audience turned silent, but this time it was for another reason. The extreme tension that was building up burst like a bubble, and anticipation and revenge started to brew within the atmosphere.

“Is that her?!” one voice exclaimed.

“She really came!” another joined in.

“There’s going to be bloodshed!” someone whispered.

“We’re in for a match!” a fourth voice said.

The whispers of the audience filled the atmosphere, and the bleak tension was replaced with happiness and relaxation, filling every inch of the stadium. The audience looked down at the arena with fervor and worship, seemingly placing the single girl on a very high pedestal.

“You’re boy is done…” a woman sitting beside Ralph spoke, taking his attention away. He narrowed his eyes as he looked at the woman.

“I don’t recognize her,” Ralph replied, which spoke volumes about how secretive her existence might be.

“Of course, you won’t. Her face and everything about her are hidden. The person you are looking at is the one currently holding the first seat of the apostles,” the woman informed him.

“Her?!” Ralph responded in surprise as he looked at the young girl, who might be of 16 or 17 years old. To acquire that status at such a young age is unprecedented, and what is more worrying is the fact that the DarkNight has no information about her!

“That’s not all,” the woman continued. “She took the first place for the apostles at the age of… twelve.”

Meanwhile, everyone kept their focus on the woman, but Austin kept looking at her with an intrigued yet expectant look. As she stood before him, he couldn’t help but notice her aura, which exuded both grace and power. She was a woman of undeniable beauty, with shining brown and golden hair that looked like a lion’s mane. Her brown feline eyes were focused entirely on him, giving her an exotic allure. Her body was the very definition of perfection, with a select build and a brown-tanned skin. She wore an ancient-based warrior dress, which was intricately detailed with golden embroidery and gemstones. The dress flowed beautifully, accentuating her every movement. The dress also had a leather belt that cinched at her waist, showing off her hourglass figure. As she stood there, she radiated strength and confidence, a true warrior beauty.

Austin POV:

[Ding!]

[New capture target detected!]

[

Name: Zelda Rife

Sex: Female

Age: 17

Species: Lion Beastwoman

Talent: 10/10

Power: Origin Level 8

Title: The Reincarnator, The Spear of Never-Ending, One of the 11 Heroes, etc.

Love: 0%

Description: Once hailed among the 11 legendary heroes that led the Era of Darkness, now reincarnated with all her memories into the future, where she gets to see and live through the result of her sacrifice and power.

>Died in battle and reincarnated, Zelda only hopes to live a normal and laid-back life without having a war on her hands as she had enough of it in her lifetime. Yet, this ended up with her picking her own spear, ending up in the War Council, and long before she knew it, she holds the number one position of the apostle.

>Tired of all the drama and everything, she currently wishes to go through a laid-back life, even wishing for a lover, as she never got to experience it. Sadly for her, due to her current position, she couldn’t find one, and the added height of her ego refuses to let a weak man into her heart.

Difficulty: SS (Well, all I can say is for you to be careful because her spear can sure as hell pierce your ass in anger if you mess up)

‘Interesting,’ I thought. Who would have thought that one of the 11 heroes would be reincarnated, and it to be this woman?

Zkirana, the berserker of The Spear.ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

She’s among the 11 heroes that led the world to a level of peace, a lion-beast woman that had united the entire tribes of the Beastmen under her name. She had built for them a safe haven during the time of war. With a single spear and her elites, she was unstoppable once she had taken a seat on her panther.

Like a spear, she would pierce through everything in her path, till she ended up in the most powerful position in the world. Though from what I know, she ended up dying mysteriously. No one knew how or where, she just ended up dead.

‘This will be trouble…..’

I mused as this was the first time I am getting a capture target whose information I have no idea about, her behavior, her favorite food, her likes or dislikes, I have no idea about it. I haven’t interacted with her in the game, heck, I haven’t even heard of such a capture target. This makes it much harder for me to capture her, as I won’t know the places I shouldn’t step on.

“Zelda Rife, first of the apostles,” she spoke her introduction small, and quite frankly, a bit lazy, if I say so myself.

‘Looks like she thinks it’s already in the bag…’

I mused as I felt the obvious lack of interest in me, indicating toward the fact that she hasn’t seen any of my matches. Plus, with me having complete restraint over my abilities, her keen instincts are unable to detect my powers.

Seeing her lazy look, I smiled as I spoke.

“Rex, very handsome and would like to take you out on a date”

My words quickly froze the surroundings, and I could even see the lazy look leaving her face as it turned to one of wonder and amusement, as if she was looking at a child that was playing tricks. Seeing this, I let out a bit of my compressed powers, which quickly froze up Zelda’s expression, soon turning it into intrigue.

“If you can defeat me, I don’t mind giving you the date.”

Zelda responded, making me smile.

“Then so be it,” I spoke. The two of us nodded our heads toward the referee, who was looking between us with a weird gaze. Seeing us nod at him, he lifted his hand up and waved it down without a word, disappearing from the arena.

Tring!

The sound of metal hitting metal was heard as I blocked Zelda’s attack. She headed toward me with her spear causing me to block her attack with my greatsword, my legs being pushed into the ground due to the sheer pressure of her attack.

“Not bad,” she muttered as her eyes locked onto mine. The distance between our faces was now just centimeters.

“Thanks,” I replied, and just as I did, she disappeared from where she stood. The place she was standing on soon broke up with spikes that missed her completely. Without a word, she took her stance and stabbed forward, her movements being missed as shivers ran across my body.

I could see hundreds of spear attacks heading my way, each one carrying an immense will and power to crush me. It was just a lax attack from her, yet the pressure was immense. Seeing such an attack, my lips rose into a smile.

‘Looks like I will finally be able to enjoy a fight,’ I thought.

With such a thought, the mana within me riled up. Holding my greatsword, I made a slow yet fast diagonal cut. It was a simple cut, but it completely decimated the entire volley of spears, creating a powerful boom that spread outward, destroying the ground and creating powerful wind waves.

“Not bad,” I spoke back, placing my greatsword on my shoulder, standing tall and straight.

“Thanks,” Zelda replied with a smile. The two attacks we gave each other provided us with the basics we needed to move forward. Challenging smiles filled our faces before we moved again, both of our speeds beyond the gaze of others as we met for another bout.

My greatsword riled up for hits as Zelda’s spear aimed for the weak spots in my attack. The meeting of our weapons produced powerful wind pressure, enough to smash any Origin level 4 to a pulp due to the sheer pressure.

My hands tightened around my greatsword as they swung from the left, attacking with all my might as Zelda fought back with hers.

Ting!

Ting!

Ting!

Our attacks kept colliding, each one increasing with power and vigor. I swung from the top with crushing power, and Zelda hit it back, using a smooth movement to divert most of my pressure away. Our attacks kept speeding up, and so did the ground under us turn to rubble.

Ting!

Once more our weapons met, our faces inches away from each other this time. Smiles of enjoyment filled our faces as I spoke.

“Shall we?”

“We shall,” she replied, and thus the slumbering mana within us started to bubble up. The battle was only starting.
