"All right, Minos, you really are a coward! Now show me what you've accomplished by hiding!" Adele shouted at him, already activating her Soul Avatar.
She had no choice but to test her opponent's strength and at least try to go for her victory, no matter how much more difficult it had become.
As a proud warrior of the Flowers Kingdom, she would try her best against Minos!
Minos allowed her opponent to make her soul projection appear while feeling Adele's level 77.
But even though she had advanced in recent years, the Crown Princess of the Flowers Kingdom had only recently done so, so her level was only that of someone new to that level.
Because of this, she didn't have enough strength to ignore Minos' innate ability completely.
He smiled at her and said. "Adele, I hope you won't take this personally. I'm just trying to save the life of an ally who got in trouble because of me. That has nothing to do with you."
"Keep your words to yourself, Minos. Now fight me!" She flew toward him after those words while dozens of people were already in the vicinity to follow this challenge.
Minos had advanced in level and looked a bit wild. But Adele was not weak, and being at level 77, she had her chances even against him.
Minos saw the spiritual energy and laws in the surroundings converging through Adele's Soul Avatar, which looked like a large, winged, light-pink fairy.
He then promptly activated his innate ability, trying to steal cultivation levels from this woman who should have a little more soul power than him.
However, the difference was slight. Within what he could handle and get something done!
Unlike the giant bones in the Spatial Kingdom, which had no protection from the consciousness of their owners, living beings could use their cultivation techniques to prevent others from trying to steal their energy or even their cultivation base.
Because of this, Minos couldn't steal the level of a Spiritual Demigod, being only a Spiritual Saint, while he could do it with those bones, but on a microscopic level.
Living cultivators could protect themselves and prevent him from stealing even a grain of their powers!
But for that, one would need to have at least a soul 100% more powerful than Minos', and Adele didn't have that!
Even with her Golden-grade cultivation technique, the difference between her and Minos was only about 17%.
Even at his disadvantage, Minos immediately managed to decrease his opponent's level and increase his own!
That wasn't enough for him to increase his level. Still, it was enough to make Adele temporarily weaker, at level 76, the same as before their match.
"Bastard!" She cried out as she felt her spiritual ability diminish a little.
pαпdα`noνɐ1`сoМ At the same time, a swirling black ring appeared around her body, stealing the energies she was gathering to use in her movements.
Minos felt these energies becoming available to him, and soon he moved against his opponent.
His instincts were sharper than ever, so as he moved, he didn't act as he usually did. He flew close to Adele and used his Chaotic Gravity, drawing that woman towards him.
As he did so, Minos smiled and released his spiritual sword, causing it to float over his body as he controlled it with his mind.
After absorbing some of the understanding of bones in the Spatial Kingdom, he realized he could control his weapon through his mind.
So he was soon putting his sensations into practice, making his sword move over his body, launching attacks that contained the restrictive power of the Spatial Sword technique.
Someone hit by this would not only have trouble being cut by one of the thrown blades but would also be immobile for 1 second under the pressure of this technique.
On the other hand, while his hands were free, Minos used his Indestructible Body more creatively, using his body as a weapon.
He opened his arms and then, with open palms, moved one arm against the other until he clapped his hands together.
When his hands met, a powerful shockwave came from them towards where the projection of Adele's soul was flying towards him, out of control due to Chaotic Gravity.
Ella saw this and felt strange, for this fighting style seemed quite different from the one Minos normally used.
His actions seemed faster, his creativity about fighting seemed greater, and because of the combination of this, his powers were more dangerous than ever!
She had seen him fight several times before and was the first to notice his differences.
While the other women and the eunuchs were trying to keep up with this high-speed battle, Adele suffered from her opponent's capabilities.
She thought that at least she could have an even battle against him, but when she moved to attack, she soon had to change her plans, as Minos attacked her in an even worse way, forcing her to act defensively.
After a few moments of the battle, she was in a passive situation, unable to finish launching her attacks, constantly having to use her defensive technique to protect herself.
Minos had many ways to attack her, from disturbing her with the Infinite Dream to pressing her with blades as fast as light, which could cut her skin and even temporarily imprison her in an invisible prison.
At the same time, he could draw her towards himself or even push her away when necessary, which made his actions very difficult.
To make matters worse, Minos had an extremely hard and resistant soul projection, capable of being used as a weapon, creating improvised attacks.
All of these techniques were Golden-grade, which would normally be Adele's advantage. But against Minos, she was a bit behind because she didn't have eight techniques of this quality, only six!
Besides not having attacks as powerful as his, her mental defenses were not as strong, and she was slowly feeling the difference between him and her.
'Damn it! What do I do not to lose?' She wondered as she felt Minos' gravity drawing her towards him, but a powerful blow pushed her in the opposite direction, hurting her Soul Avatar.
She was currently in a fetal position, trying to protect herself with what appeared to be a semi-transparent eggshell, but which was not holding up well to the powers of her opponent.
On the other hand, Minos was flying around the area so fast that Adele was finding it challenging to keep up with him.
He had a smile on his face, enjoying this fight as he prepared to break hard through Adele's defensive shell.
"Let's see if you can take that!" He shouted as he launched a kick toward that eggshell.
Pow!
