Chapter 687: *The fighting skills she got from them was the best ones*
The kids couldn’t even say something to him as Axel had already left to join back his daughter, and so Maya told them, "Do your best, fight like one, and protect each other."
Maya then got up, and the kids got ready. She then joined Peter, while Axel and Kevin went to place themselves around the arena to be able to intervene rapidly if something went wrong. Only then did Maya motion for Peter to start the countdown.
Willow could only use a small part of her powers, and she was sure that her Dad wanted to test her.
Those vines weren’t powerful enough to harm her, and it was a friendly fight, so it was the perfect opportunity to check if she was able to use all the fighting techniques she had assimilated thanks to the knowledge she had obtained through her bloodline, and those that she had learned from them.
Earlier, she had mainly wielded her Divine-grade daggers and used the Sacred Fire energy, but this time, the daggers her Daddy gave her wouldn’t be of much help as they were of medium grade, and so she could only rely on her skills.
The countdown was about to end, and Willow quickly enveloped her body with yellow particles to increase her speed, following her Daddy’s advice.
A yellow aura surrounded her, and she was now more confident about her speed. Usually, she would rarely use this element, but even with the restricted access she had to her energy reserve, it wouldn’t cost her many Soul Force points to use wind blades. With that in mind, as soon as the countdown reached 0, she dashed towards her opponents.
Brown vines immediately tried to stop her, but fortunately, her speed was enough to avoid their attacks.
However, to avoid them, she had to stop moving forward, and she was pushed back instead. The rules were simple: to win, your opponents had to admit defeat, leave the circle of the area, or be knocked out.
Willow gritted her teeth as they tried to push her out of the combat zone, but she wouldn’t let that happen.
She then flew out of their reach and smiled when she saw that their vines couldn’t reach more than 50 meters. And now that she was safe in the air, it was her turn to attack.
As her Dads reminded her, she had to be careful with the consumption of her energy reserve, so she decided to only use small fireballs that she would surround with yellow particles.
The Wind element would increase the destructive power of the Fire element, and her small fireballs should have enough power to open a way for her through all these vines that were waiting for her.
Willow only used a few seconds to prepare this counter-attack and dashed forward with her fireballs, surrounded by a yellow aura in front of her to destroy these vines.
For sure it worked, but her fireballs, with their strength increased by the Wind element, spread faster than she had anticipated.
Not only did the fire spread to the vines, but as she was dashing straight forward, she was also hit by her own attacks.
Fortunately, the Phoenix was immune to fire, but when she thought about her Daddy and her Grandpa, she corrected herself and thought, "Well, the Phoenix are immune to almost all fire attacks."
At least, thanks to her Dad, she wouldn’t be able to hurt herself with the small power she could use right now.
Willow, with her daggers in hand, passed through the ocean of flames in front of her and used the fire from this attack to absorb some of its energy to replenish her energy reserve.
This was also a unique skill of her clan that she had never used before, but it was really practical now that her energy reserve was restricted.
Once she landed on the ground, the kids chose to separate, and Willow dashed first towards the strongest one.
His vines were bigger than the others, and they were also faster; that is why Willow presumed he was the strongest among them, because otherwise, their levels were quite similar.
This time, she used her speed, her wings, but not her daggers to start a hand-to-hand fight with him as her Dads forbade her from attacking them with her daggers if they didn’t have any weapons.
When Willow got close to him and he noticed that using his vines against her became worthless, he started to fight with her without taking out his hidden weapons as he didn’t want to hurt her.
It wasn’t their aim; they just wanted to battle with her to see how good she was, and after this battle, they really hoped to start a friendship with her as it would be a good thing for their clan if they could be on good terms with such powerful beings.
Narry was the oldest of the three Black Elves and he was the best of the new generation. He had already been through hard training to learn how to fight, as only the best among them could learn to fight at such a young age. But this girl, who looked younger than him, could keep up with his moves without any problem... How was it possible?
As for Willow, fighting with this kid was too easy. Even though her Dads never hurt her when they taught her how to fight, they weren’t kind either.
They wanted her to be able to defend herself, not only by using her elements but by using all the means at her disposal. One of her Daddies was a great warrior while the other one was a Warrior Spirit, so of course, the fighting skills she got from them were the best ones—better than those of her clan anyway.
Seeing the boy’s fighting skills, Willow couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride. She smiled, almost amused at how easily she was able to outmaneuver him. Yet, even as she displayed her superior abilities, Willow remained cautious, keeping her distance from the vines of the boy’s friends, unwilling to let her guard down for even a moment.
