Parallel Memory

Chapter 493 Amelia VS Seraphine!

Amelia stepped onto the arena stage, her heart pounding with a mix of excitement and nervousness. Seraphine, her opponent, stood calmly on the other side, radiating an aura of confidence. The crowd fell silent in anticipation of this Rank-S showdown.

The arena was alive with anticipation as Seraphine, with her radiant Aasimar aura, and Amelia, her face determined, stepped onto the battlefield. The contrast between the two fighters was stark. Seraphine wielded a gleaming silver spear with a divine aura, while Amelia held her staff ready to cast spells.

”Are you both ready? Then let the fight begin!”

The refereeʼs voice echoed through the coliseum, and the battle began. Seraphine wasted no time, swiftly closing the gap between them with a burst of speed. Her silver spear flashed, aiming for Ameliaʼs side.

Amelia reacted quickly, her staff shimmering with magic. [ ”Divine Shield” ]

With a flick of her staff, she summoned a protective barrier that shimmered with a brilliant golden light. It encased her like a cocoon, deflecting Seraphineʼs initial attack effortlessly.

-CLANG!

Seraphineʼs silver spear struck the barrier with a resounding clang, sending sparks flying. Undeterred, Seraphine twirled her spear gracefully and sent forth a barrage of divine energy projectiles, each one aimed with precision. But Ameliaʼs barrier held firm, absorbing the onslaught without faltering.

The fight was intense, with both fighters displaying incredible skill and precision. Seraphineʼs movements were graceful, almost as if she was dancing, while Ameliaʼs attacks were swift and calculated. The clash of their powers created shockwaves that reverberated through the coliseum, leaving the audience in awe.

Ameliaʼs healing abilities played a crucial role in sustaining her throughout the battle. Despite Seraphineʼs skill and strength, Ameliaʼs resilience and determination to prove herself kept her in the fight.

Slowly, they took the fight to the sky! However, Seraphine has more advantages than Amelia. First of all was the difference in the rank and then it was the fact that Aasimar has wings which made flying easier.

Amelia could also fly but it wasnʼt as agile and fast as Seraphine. So, Seraphine has more advantage in the air compared to Amelia.

As the battle continued in the air, Seraphineʼs advantage became even more apparent. Her Aasimar wings allowed her to glide through the sky with unparalleled grace and speed. She circled above Amelia, maintaining her aerial superiority.

Amelia struggled to keep up. [ ”Divine Radiance Burst!” ]

As Amelia invoked her ”Divine Radiance Burst,” a blinding surge of holy energy enveloped her. Her staff emitted a brilliant, golden glow as she gathered the celestial power within her.

With a triumphant cry, she unleashed the energy in a radiant burst that streaked toward Seraphine like a comet. The burst of divine energy illuminated the arena, causing the crowd to gasp in amazement at the breathtaking display of Ameliaʼs power.

The attack hit Seraphine head-on, engulfing her in a dazzling explosion of light. The arena shook with the force of the impact, and for a moment, it seemed as though Amelia had gained the upper hand.

However, Seraphine, with her indomitable will and incredible strength, wasnʼt defeated so easily. As the blinding light began to fade, her spear flared even brighter with a golden aura, and her wings pulsed with radiant energy.

In response, Seraphine raised her silver spear high, channeling her divine power into it. With a swift motion, she thrust the spear downward, and it transformed into a radiant lance of pure celestial energy.

[ ”Heavenly Spear: Celestial Judgment” ]

The celestial lance shot forward with incredible speed and precision, slicing through the remnants of Ameliaʼs ”Divine Radiance Burst” with ease. It closed the gap between them in an instant, aiming directly at Amelia.

[ ”Divine Shiel-” ]

Ameliaʼs eyes widened in realization as she attempted to summon her protective barriers once more, but Seraphineʼs attack was too swift and overwhelming. The lance struck her, causing a magnificent explosion of light and energy.

The shockwave from the impact rippled through the arena, shaking its very foundations. The audience watched in awe and wonder at the cataclysmic clash of divine powers.

Amelia was sent hurtling backward, her protective barriers shattered. She crashed into the arena floor, creating a small crater upon impact. Despite her injuries, she slowly began to rise, her determination unbroken.

Seraphine, her radiant aura still ablaze, descended gracefully to the ground. She had countered Ameliaʼs powerful attack with her own, showcasing her incredible strength and resilience.

[ ”Luminescent Aurorisea” ]

Ameliaʼs ”Luminescent Aurorisea” spell enveloped her in a soothing, radiant glow. Her wounds began to mend, and her strength returned.

Despite getting hit by a powerful attack, it seems like Amelia wasnʼt injured at all. Seraphine, her wings fluttering gently, regarded Amelia with a newfound respect. The battle had been fierce, and she knew that she was facing a formidable opponent.

This was the first time anyone had managed to make her use such a powerful attack since the start of this contest.

As the two warriors stood facing each other once more, the atmosphere in the arena crackled with anticipation. The battle had taken a toll on both of them, but neither was willing to yield.

-WHOOSH!

The two of them once again engaged in the battle with Seraphine coming in with her spear while Amelia had used her staff to protect and counter her attacks.

Their movements were a symphony of skill and strategy. Seraphineʼs divine spear danced through the air, while Ameliaʼs staff weaved intricate patterns as she channeled her magic.

The audience watched in rapt attention, fully aware that they were witnessing a battle of epic proportions. The clash of celestial powers and mortal determination was a sight to behold.

Amelia and Seraphine pushed themselves to their limits, each trying to gain the upper hand.

They exchanged powerful blows and spells, the ground trembling beneath them with each impact. It was a battle of endurance as much as skill, and neither was willing to give in.

As the battle reached its climax, Seraphineʼs wings flared with blinding radiance. She channeled her celestial energy into a final, devastating strike.

[ ”Heavenly Spear: Divine Eclipse” ]

Seraphineʼs spear transformed into a radiant comet of celestial power, hurtling toward Amelia with unstoppable force. The arena was bathed in blinding light as the attack descended.

Amelia, her heart pounding, knew that this was the moment of truth. She summoned every ounce of her magical strength and resilience, channeling it into her staff.

[ ”Sacred Barrier: Celestial Sanctuary” ]

A brilliant, shimmering barrier formed around Amelia, a sanctuary of celestial energy that repelled Seraphineʼs devastating attack. The clash between their powers created a shockwave that reverberated through the arena, shaking it to its very foundations.

For a moment, it seemed as though the world held its breath. Then, with a deafening explosion of energy, the barrier shattered, and the two combatants were sent flying in opposite directions.

As the dust settled, the arena fell into a hushed silence. Both Amelia and Seraphine lay on the ground, battered and bruised, their strength spent.

[ ”Luminescent Aurorisea” ]

Amelia once again healed herself though this time, she wasnʼt able to fully heal herself.

Seeing that Amelia was healing herself, the spectator once again thought that this was the start of another epic clash between the two. ”I forfeit!”

But contrary to their expectation, Amelia had surrendered. The words hung in the air, echoing through the silent arena. ”I forfeit.” It was a surprising declaration from Amelia, given the fierce determination she had displayed throughout the battle. The spectators exchanged puzzled glances, unsure of what had led to this sudden decision.

Amelia decided to give up because it didnʼt seem like she would win even if she persisted. Her mana was running low and even if she poured everything into one attack, she didnʼt it would be enough to defeat Seraphine.

Sure, she could have fought for a few more minutes but that would have been pointless. Moreover, she had done her best and also made Seraphine show her true power which might be beneficial for Mia if she fought her in the next round. The referee raised his hand and declared, ”Winner! Seraphine!”

For a second, the spectator couldnʼt register what had happened just like with Zeroʼs forfeit. But then realization hit upon them, especially the Aasimar Race who began cheering and celebrating.

*CLAP! *CLAP!

The cheers and applause from the crowd filled the arena, echoing the exhilaration of the intense battle they had just witnessed. Seraphine, still recovering from the strain of her final devastating attack, managed a weary but triumphant smile.

She hadnʼt expected that she would struggle so much considering her opponent was Rank-S - and a healer to boot.

She had a new profound respect for Amelia. She thought that humans were very strange and this was the conclusion after watching the fight between Hiro, Zero, and Sylvia who seemed to be displaying power beyond their ranks.

( Does she also have some secret power? )

Seraphine wondered as she glanced at Mia Frostine who could be potentially her opponent. Anyway, she stopped thinking about it and went to celebrate with her fellow members.

Amelia also returned to her seat. Other human geniuses were not very happy since they only got Mia as their last participant.

Although knowing that it was Mia, many felt relieved. She was the strongest of the human geniuses and many human geniuses felt that she should be able to win the contest!

Now, there were only four contestants left and they were Mia Frostine of the Human Race, Princess Elenia of the Elven Race, Seraphine of the Aasimar Race, and Stoneclaw of the Druid Race!
