Alice was somewhat at a loss.
Comprehending the opponent's secret sword technique?
Again?
Did they really think it was so easy to just understand it on command?
Alice didn't dare to contradict, so she just tried to calm down and attempt to comprehend this strike.
Having previously learned William's secret sword technique, Alice had some insights into swordsmanship.
But Delmar's strike was not slow.
As he raised his hand, a storm enveloped the sword.
The sword descended.
An endless storm swept in.
If it were just Alice alone, she might have been completely obliterated under this attack.
At that moment, the tree branch in Alice's hand suddenly transformed into the Sword of Soulbreaker.
Images of William slaying a fierce beast with his sword flashed through Alice's mind.
"The rest is up to you now!"
William left these words in his soul and abruptly left Alice's body?
"Huh?" Alice regained control of her body, her eyes filled with terror.
William had chosen this moment to leave her body.
Delmar's strike was filled with immense energy, but the intangible pressure was even more terrifying.
Alice felt as though she was in the midst of raging waves, facing the approach of death.
William quietly watched from afar.
He didn't believe Alice could defeat Delmar, but he also didn't believe Delmar could kill Alice.
Only in the face of real life and death could Alice's potential be truly unleashed.
Could someone truly favored by a Cosmic Entity die so easily?
Indeed, in a split second, the divine halo that had been circling above Alice's head merged into her body, combining with her advanced Soulmancer power.
William watched Alice's every move intently from start to finish.
At that moment, Alice's eyes suddenly glowed with a faint purple light.
The Sword of Soulbreaker in her hand sang piercingly, and Alice, as if transformed, fixed her gaze determinedly and struck at Delmar.
The Sword Spirit of the Sword of Soulbreaker erupted with terrifying energy, forcibly breaking through the tornado swirling around Delmar's sword.
This strike, taught by William, was now understood by Alice to about 50%. Coupled with the power of the divine halo, it managed to break the seal William had casually placed on the Sword of Soulbreaker.
"Not bad at all! It indeed has consciousness!" William murmured to himself.
That divine halo definitely possessed its own consciousness!
Could it be carrying the will of a Cosmic Entity?
With the seal on the Sword of Soulbreaker broken, Delmar's two-handed sword instantly shattered into fragments.
The raging storm dissipated without a trace.
"Dare to draw your sword in front of this Sword Spirit?"
The Sword Spirit of the Sword of Soulbreaker laughed heartily, thinking William had released the seal. The audacity of this guy to duel Alice in swordsmanship – wasn't that courting death?
Delmar's face drastically changed.
His strongest strike, the god-slaying sword, had been broken?
And that voice of the Sword Spirit...
Damn, he finally understood why he felt that wooden sword was extraordinary.
Wasn't it William's personal sword?
If his sword was in Alice's hands, and its Sword Spirit had emerged, did that mean William at least had some strength, and his own power hadn't weakened much?
Deceiver!
William, the deceiver!
Delmar's strongest god-slaying strike was broken. Alice, now enveloped with the power of the divine halo and the force unleashed from the Sword of Soulbreaker, along with William's secret sword technique, was overwhelming.
Delmar quickly gave up any resistance.
It was just an incarnation, after all. Even if he managed to dodge, he would likely be killed by Moros. Worse, Moros might banish him to the chaotic flows of space, subjecting him to untold suffering.
So be it, death then!
Since he was certain that William's power hadn't diminished much, that was enough. There was no escape for him now, unless he killed Alice.
He could do that, but there was no need. More importantly, he was afraid of angering William.
Delmar glanced towards William, even with a hint of a smile on his lips.
As Alice's sword was about to pierce his chest, the next moment, Delmar found himself in his own bedroom.
The power of spatial laws.
Even the powerful Sword of Soulbreaker locked onto Delmar's aura, and Moros couldn't save him, but with just a glance from William, Delmar miraculously escaped death.
"Where is he?" Moros's eyes flashed with astonishment. He knew William could manipulate spatial laws, but he didn't expect William to use them to such an extent.
It's important to note that the space barrier near Alice and Delmar just now was unstable. If it were Moros, he could take the opportunity to kill Delmar, but he would definitely not be able to survive under Alice's unsealed Sword of Soulbreaker.
The clash between Poseidon's mightiest god-slaying sword and Alice's thrust meant that no creature could have survived nearby.
Moros didn't know how to use the power of space to teleport any one of them, but William did it effortlessly.
"Where is he?" The purple light in Alice's eyes faded, and she looked around in fear.
"Let's go, he's gone," William called from not too far away.
Alice then ran to William, her heart pounding uncontrollably, looking at him with confusion.
"Let's talk when we get back," William said, glancing at the Sword of Soulbreaker in Alice's hand. This time, the seal was much more secure than before. Without William's permission, even with the power of the divine halo, Alice likely couldn't break the seal.
William led Alice away from the arena. After they had gone, the watching students started whispering among themselves.
"That's it? Where did that guy Delmar go?"
"Could he have been blasted to bits?"
"Looks like it! I thought he was really powerful, daring to challenge Alice."
"He was challenging that shameless William, it's just that William had Alice stand in for him!"
"William is just too shameless!"
"That Delmar wasn't any better, good riddance if he's dead!"
...
The students buzzed with discussions, but Garen was lost in thought, looking at the spot where Alice had stood.
Was Alice really that strong?
And that student named Delmar, was his power that outrageous?
Considering Delmar's strike, Garen thought if he had faced it, he would probably have been pulverized by now.
And Alice's strike, it was terrifying!
He had watched William make a move earlier, learned a bit, and thought he wasn't too weak in swordsmanship.
But compared to those two strikes just now, he felt utterly weak.
"Alice, where's Delmar?" Zoey, following behind William, quickly approached and stopped Alice.
Alice looked confused, "You mean that guy just now? I don't know!"
Zoey frowned, "Did you kill him?"
Alice glanced at William, then back at Zoey, and said with a mixture of laughter and tears, "I really don't know."
William could only say, "Don't worry, he's still alive."
Zoey nodded, "Oh! Then it's fine."
"..."
William had gotten used to it by now. Zoey wouldn't ask him for details,if he said something, and Zoey believed it, that was that. She didn't even bother to ask William where Delmar had gone.
