Divine Emperor of Death

Wilhelm Abel didnʼt cower at all. With his eyes radiating the intent of a man with a vengeance, he took a step forward and with a slash, created an exorbitant tide of essence energy that threatened to dissect the target into two!

Princess Isabella used Earth Dragonʼs Overlord Rush to dodge the closed range attack. She executed a backflip in mid-air flawlessly that attracted the spectatorsʼ entire attention and with her stretched knees, she jolted at him with her heels in a descending clash.

*Boom!~*

The sword and her heel clashed, creating a bang that pushed them apart a few meters away from one another.

*Crack!~*

Wilhelm Abelʼs expression became shocked! However, it quickly became ugly when he noticed that his Mid-Level King Grade Sword slightly cracked a bit.

His gaze instantly moved to Princess Isabellaʼs soles, wanting to see it severed, however, he again experienced a shock when he witnessed that there were scales with a yellowish golden glow, protecting the part of the leg that had connected with the edge of his sword!

ʼEarth Dragonʼs Hardened Scales~ʼ

Princess Isabella chanted the name of the technique in her mind as she raised her brows at Wilhelm in a taunting manner. This was a technique that she had just comprehended recently and with her Earth Law Intent that was just at the Fourth Level, it was just in its beginning phase.

Wilhelm became instantly enraged! With a *Whoosh!~* he shot towards her completely losing his calm while simultaneously losing half of his reason.

Princess Isabella instantly cast the scales to the other parts of her body. Her fists and the soles of her feet and above were quickly covered with the scales.

The two of them instantly clashed! Princess Isabella used her wide long legs to kick at his abdomen and other locations while using her fists to deflect and parry the prowess of the sharp red-black sword.

Many *Booms!~* rang out with *Clangs!~* simultaneously as that particular location of the battle platform quickly became filled with a golden glow.

Princess Isabella dodged the sharp end of the Mid-Level King Grade Sword and somersaulted to the side as she brought along a wide curve of her kick to his waist.

Wilhelm Abel defended the kick with his sword and heard a sound.

*Crack!~*

The Mid-Level King Grade sword finally gave in after a minute and completely cracked. With his sword cracked, Wilhelm momentarily turned aghast as he lost a considerable portion of his blood essence. His face quickly became pale and even weakness suddenly encroached his body and senses.

Princess Isabella looked at the scene with indifference as she knew that this battle was as good as hers. With her current prowess, she was only able to conjure and maintain four these hardened scales from her martial energy, however, she felt that the defensive capabilities of these scales were even able to defend against Low-Level Law Sea Stage Experts.

Even if it wasnʼt able to, she felt that it could defend against the most powerful Peak-Level Seventh Stage Cultivators!

Honestly, she felt using this technique on Wilhelm Abel was overkill, but she decided to defeat him with the same condescending gaze he had projected upon her.

Princess Isabella instantly grasped Wilhelmʼs hand with a dragon claw that she conjured from martial energy and pulled him closer to her side. Just when he got near, Princess Isabella clenched her fists and sent him flying with a punch straight to his face.

Wilhelm Abelʼs face visibly caved in and blood spurted out of his mouth, his teeth splattered as it plunged to the surface. He instantly tried to use his Sword Domain to try to get out of this mess!

However, his luck was short.

As if doing a combo, Princess Isabella used the dragon claw attached to him and pulled him back before he could regain his strength and balance.

She repeatedly struck his face and abdomen, shaking his entire meridian pathway from reacting to his commands properly.

This made him utterly insane and unable to use any techniques!

With one hand controlling the dragon claw and the other hand ready to swing to his face, the battered Wilhelm unhesitatingly shouted even while feeling humiliated.

\”I surrender!\”

Princess Isabella suddenly stopped her barrage of ruthless fists and held Wilhelm Abel with the dragon claw, not willing to let him go until she heard the confirmation from the referee.

The next second, without much delay, the referee announced, \”Winner of the First Round of the Semi-Finals, Miss Isabella!\”

Princess Isabella directly let go of the dragon claw, and the latter disappeared as it let go of Wilhelm Abel. However, Wilhelm fell to the surface face first but managed to maneuver his butt into taking the brunt.

*Thud!~*

He was temporarily unable to fly but two seconds later, his essence energy started to revolve around his meridian pathway and a second later, he took off to the skies before storming out of the tournament zone.

Although he looked as if he was not injured, Princess Isabella knew that he was definitely in a sorry state. Although not critically injured, she garnered that he should be heavily injured.

In the spectatorsʼ seat, Evelynn looked at her idol in fervor, \”S-sheʼs so majestic!!\”

She had forgotten all about the earlier event and was entranced at how Princess Isabella dealt with her opponent. Looking at a fellow woman who managed to quell the arrogance of a man while also accomplishing to look majestic had her eyes emitting stars.

Davis gazed at Evelynn, who no longer looked sullen but full of life like a child. He had never seen her so pumped up for a battle and her emotions definitely didnʼt feel like it was forced.

ʼMhm... So my wife likes seeing men being crushed for their arrogance? Or did she project her anger on to Wilhelm Abel and is instantly elated to see him defeated by Princess Isabella?ʼ

Davis couldnʼt tell but he still nodded his head in agreement to her statement.

Indeed, Princess Isabella is majestic like a proud Empress when she battled.

Davis smiled and looked at the betting counter. He stood up and left, but this time, he didnʼt leave Evelynn behind.

In the VIP platform, Crown Prince Hadre had his lips twitch in speechlessness.

After a silent pause, he added with a sigh.

\”Looks like we already have a Conferred King... Or should I say, a Conferred Queen?\”

\”Indeed, the remaining two opponents who are going to battle next arenʼt her opponents. Additionally, we should change the tournament name to Conferred Queen Tournament perhaps...\” Royal Protector Freed nodded his head and suggested.

\”Just announcing while giving the rewards to Miss Isabella at the end will do... For now, letʼs enjoy the last round of the semi-finals.\” Royal Protector Aleron said with a smile, however, he looked like he was not interested in the upcoming battle but the finals.

The next battle began within ten minutes.

Two men floated in from the opposite ends of the battle platform, ready to battle against each other with their undulations flaring. With the declaration of the battle, they instantly began to let out their elemental domains, trying to gain the upper hand while unleashing numerous techniques that invoked awe in the crowd.

Royal Protector Aleron nodded, \”Not bad. Though their Peak-Level Law Dominion Stage prowess could be said to be in the upper level, they simply couldnʼt beat Wilhelm Abel, much less Miss Isabella.\”

\”Even so, arenʼt they still battling with fervor to win the tournament?\” Crown Prince Hadre chuckled.

\”Thatʼs because the rewards are that tempting...\” Royal Protector Aleron smirked as if looking down upon the entirety of the participants.
