Chapter 676: The gods' chosen pride (2)

Leona couldn't help but wonder if they had made this decision because they realized their previous opponent was too overwhelming or if they simply wanted to see how the results would differ when facing someone with the same level of strength.

Nonetheless, she didn't care which it was, as this was the perfect situation for her.

Leona gripped her sword tightly, planning to go all out from the start. Without hesitation, she muttered, "Boost."

In an instant, a surge of Vylkr energy erupted from her Devourer's bracelet, coursing up her right arm and swiftly spreading throughout her entire body. Her eyes took on an inky blackish tint as countless strands of Vylkr energy enveloped her form.

"I hope you're prepared," Leona asked, broadly smiling as she focused on Gian.

Gian nodded confidently. "Absolutely," he replied.

Leona's smile faded into a frown as she noticed Gian adopting a serious posture, tightly gripping his cutlass.

"Are you planning to activate that form, too?" Leona asked with a hint of doubt in her voice.

Gian furrowed his brows before understanding her concern.

"I'm sorry, but I can't utilize the Vylkr warrior mode. That form is reserved for three-star warriors, so I can't access it as a two-star warrior. But don't worry, I'll be fine without it," Gian reassured.

While he couldn't unleash a form like the Vylkr warrior mode at will, needing to achieve his full potential first, Gian was confident in his ability to defeat his opponent without relying on it.

Hearing his response, Leona's frown deepened.

"Are you sure? Because, as you can see, I'm not planning on holding back," Leona replied with a fierce gaze.

Gian smiled broadly. "As I said, I can handle myself without it, so you have nothing to worry about," he responded.

Leona kept her lips shut. She had already done her best by warning him of the impending battle, so whatever happened next was none of her business.

Leona nodded in response and immediately positioned her body to attack. She disappeared from her position, leaving a lingering trail of wind behind, and within an instant, appeared behind Gian.

"I'm going to end this quickly," Leona muttered fiercely under her breath as she swung her considerable-sized sword downward upon his body with all of her strength.

Meanwhile, Gian observed her every movement with a smile. When Leona appeared behind him with her sword swinging above his head, he immediately side-stepped, effortlessly dodging her attack.

BANNGG!!

Her considerable-sized sword crashed against the wooden floor.

Leona clicked her tongue in annoyance as she pulled back her sword and noticed Gian had distanced himself a few meters away after narrowly dodging her attack by a few inches.

Even with this, Leona had little hope about landing her attack on the first try, as she hadn't underestimated the strength of her opponent. Without hesitation, her body surged forward again. She reappeared beside Gian, her hands tightly gripping the handle of her sword as she swung it against his body.

Leona watched as he calmly repositioned himself to narrowly dodge her attack, prompting her to abruptly halt her movements and reposition her body, sending a kick towards his head with the back of her left leg.

Gian was surprised as he observed Leona effortlessly reposition her body mid-attack. Such a skill was ordinary among the village warriors, especially those like himself. However, it was because Leona had done so with such an enormous weapon that impressed him.

Regardless, in his eyes, every one of her actions was like that of a crawling stick, so he had already dodged her attacks before she could even complete her movements.

BANG!!

Leona's sword again collided against the wooden floor as she missed her fifth attack. She didn't rush to attack this time but observed the man before her with a deep frown. From her several failed attempts to land her attack, she had already grasped his capabilities.

Though there was a slight difference in their agility, it wasn't something she found challenging to make up for. However, no matter how hard she tried or whichever method she used, he seemed he could predict her actions before she made them.

"It's getting annoying. Why don't you stand in one place and show me your strength?" Leona asked, her voice filled with a hint of coldness.

Obviously, she grew frustrated with her constant failed attempts to attack him.

"Though I'd love to indulge you, unfortunately, raw strength isn't my forte. I won't be taking that risk," Gian responded, shaking his head with a tired sigh escaping his lips.

As a warrior who had created two Vylkr containers in his brain, Gian's mind and perception were several times faster and more precise than those on the same level, but his strength had not reached the level of those who had created one or two containers in their hearts.

Gian was satisfied with effortlessly weaving through Leona's attacks and opted not to face her head-on. His task was to allow her to showcase her full capabilities with the Vylkr energy, and he was more than willing to see it through to the end.

Outside the platform,

Witnessing this scene, Isadora and the others all shook their heads in disappointment.

Despite their hopes for Leona, they still anticipated losing the battle. However, unlike Leif, who managed to land at least one attack on his opponent, Leona hadn't landed a single blow, leading them all to sigh in defeat.

On the platform,

Suddenly, the countless strands of Vylkr energy on Leona's body vanished, retracting back into her Devourer's bracelet on her right arm.

"Haa..." Leona took a deep breath, attempting to regain her composure after deactivating her previous form.

Gian raised a brow in response, "It seems that you have exhausted yourself," Gian said.

"No, not really. Though it only requires a bit of effort, I can go as far as I want as long as I possess enough Vylkr energy to do so," Leona responded, shaking her head. "But I don't think it's worth wasting the precious Vylkr energy anymore, considering I won't be able to touch you."

"You're giving up?" Gian asked.

"No, I might not be able to touch you. However, if you want to win, you should attack me first, right?" Leona said as she stared at Gian fiercely, tightly grip
