Chapter 730: Lyovkin’s Improvement
Yuri struggled to stabilize her body and turned her bracelet into another bow while Lyovkin was waving his hands a few times.
He surrounded Yuri with the wind that moved in all directions, trying to crush her.
Yuri didn’t want it and immediately waved down her hand again.
The light ball that was still floating in the sky released another wave of light to shoot him down.
Since Yuri was trapped inside his wind, he simply moved forward to avoid all of them.
However, Yuri’s real intention wasn’t to hit him. Instead, she just wanted him to focus on those arrows for a moment.
In that time, she had released three more arrows to create a big hole in the wind sphere, disrupting the wind.
After that, she released another arrow, shooting Lyovkin down.
Lyovkin clutched his hand to snap the arrow into two, but Yuri smiled.
The moment the arrow felt the crushing wind, it split into ten, confusing Lyovkin.
He waved his hand to the side and released his five tornadoes to catch all of them. The tornadoes managed to disperse all the arrows’ energy and continued making their way toward Yuri.
The latter raised her left hand as a golden light shone brightly, illuminating the entire arena.
The tornadoes were basking in this light and started to disappear as if they melted for no reason.
Normally, he would use this chance to send another attack, but he chose something different this time.
“…” Lyovkin frowned before shaking his head in disappointment. He stepped back to distance himself from her as if giving her time to recover.
‘What? Is he giving me time? What is he planning? Is it because he thinks I’m not worthy of his time?’ Yuri widened her eyes in shock, having many questions in her mind.
In the end, she felt insulted when she saw no change in his expression.
‘You think I’m weaker than you? Only that Zhilov can defeat me, not you!’ Yuri gritted her teeth and pointed her bow at him. Suddenly, golden light appeared, extending her own bow to the point the bow was close to her own height.
With the string longer and the bow was stronger, Yuri planned to end this with a single shot.
But this was the time where Lyovkin showed an unexpected move. Just like the previous action where he knocked Yuri’s bow, he actually made Yuri feel insulted by not attacking her.
This way, he could force Yuri to show her strongest strength that might require some time to be released.
And this was the perfect chance to attack her.
Right after she landed and upgraded her bow, he punched forward.
The wind started to form a dragon, moving toward her.
‘What?!’ Yuri widened her eyes, realizing his intention. This move was her strongest skill and because of that, she usually used it when she had enough time to release it. And as an archer, it was normal for her to have someone to protect her, allowing her to do something like this.
But she was fighting alone this time, and even though Lyovkin retreated, the distance between them wasn’t that huge. His attack’s speed was enough to reach her in an instant.
And this was the moment he had created.
‘I won’t make it…’ Yuri thought as she became desperate.
Suddenly, a torrential wind pushed her from her left, right, and back, locking her in a position where she needed to take on this wind dragon with only her physical body.
Still, Yuri didn’t give up as there was one more place to escape. She jumped upward, avoiding everything. She even took this chance to aim her bow at Lyovkin, albeit he was nowhere to be seen.
The next thing she realized, a hand grasped the back of her head as they both fell to the ground. The hand pushed her head forward, trying to crush it to the ground.
Bam.
The dust kicked up and covered their vision, making them oblivious to what was going on.
But when it was cleared, they saw both of them floating two inches above the ground.
The Wind Emperor had used his power to stop them as it would be just an unnecessary injury. The Empress would feel displeased as well.
“That’s enough, Lyovkin.” The Wind Emperor stated and glanced at the Empress as if telling her to call her back.
“Yuri, return,” said the Empress while pinching the bridge of her nose. She had confirmed that Lyovkin and Levina had changed due to Theo’s influence. And this change was far too good to the point she couldn’t ignore it anymore.
She couldn’t help but want Theo even more. So, she stated, “Alea, you go. No need to hold back…”
“Understood.” Alea nodded with a serious expression, walking to the arena.
Meanwhile, Yuri walked back with regret in her eyes.
“Yuri… You don’t have much experience in a fight, so this is bound to happen sooner or later.” The Empress said with a gentle tone. “Hence, I will be changing your schedule from my training to outside missions.”
“Master?” Yuri widened her eyes in shock.
The Empress glanced to the side and closed her eyes with a smile. “If I don’t do this, you’re going to be left behind. The brats from the Czar have transformed to a sly king and queen.”
“You should have used the word ‘wise’ instead of ‘sly.’ Hahahaha.” The Wind Emperor heard her and laughed. He was happy with their improvement after sparring with Theo.
“Hmph!” The Empress snorted and whispered to Ana. “That guy over there is a monster.”
“Don’t worry, I know it.” Ana nodded with a serious expression.
“No, no. You still underestimated him. I might even go to the arena at this rate…” The Empress sighed. “Because of the last mission, you have stuck at your current level just to increase your repertoire… That’s why you don’t know how monstrous he is…”
Ana frowned, not knowing why she mentioned that. It was clear that she had become far stronger than she used to be. Yet, she actually blamed her for choosing to increase her overall strength first instead of becoming a Supreme Rank Expert. She couldn’t believe it.
She glanced at Theo’s calm face with a frown.
