Parallel Memory

Chapter 480 Hiro Ernest Vs Princess Elenia [2]

The arena was filled with tension as Hiro continued to defend himself against Princess Elenia's relentless onslaught.

Each clash between their attacks sent shockwaves through the arena, and the spectators were on the edge of their seats, not daring to blink for fear of missing a single moment of the intense battle.

They didn't even think that Hiro would survive for one minute but he did. They could only now know why Hiro is called the greatest genius of the Human Race as he was truly worthy of that title.

As Hiro struggled to keep up with Princess Elenia's attacks, he knew that he had to find a way to turn the tide of the battle. His "System Double Power Activate" had boosted his strength, but it wouldn't last forever. He needed a plan, and he needed it fast.

Moreover, looking at the mana consumption, he was already burning through the mana with Limit Release and then using powerful techniques to defend against Princess Elenia's attack.

Whereas, Princess Elenia has yet to make any powerful technique and should have plenty of mana.

With a burst of inspiration, Hiro decided to change his tactics. Instead of solely focusing on defense, he began to weave and dodge, using his enhanced speed and agility to evade Princess Elenia's attacks. He had to conserve his energy for the perfect moment.

The spectators watched in awe as Hiro displayed incredible agility, narrowly avoiding the destructive arrows launched by Princess Elenia.

His movements were so swift and precise that it seemed as though he were dancing through the battlefield.

Princess Elenia was surprised. Her attacks were deadly and very fast. She was using her weapon and not holding back at all.

For Hiro to dodge them, Princess Elenia has to at least acknowledge his speed if nothing else.

As Hiro continued to evade and deflect Princess Elenia's attacks, he noticed a pattern in her shooting. She had a brief moment of vulnerability right after releasing an arrow. That was his chance.

Timing his movements with precision, Hiro waited for the moment when Princess Elenia shot an arrow. Just as she did, he lunged forward, his sword shimmering with power.

[ "StarShatterer Style: Celestial Strike" ]

With a lightning-fast strike, Hiro aimed directly for Princess Elenia. His sword sliced through the air, closing the gap between them in an instant.

Celestial Strike was not only Hiro's most powerful technique but also it was very fast and very difficult to dodge.

Upon impact, the Celestial Strike can release a burst of energy, creating shockwaves that can deal very huge damage even to those with high defense.

Princess Elenia's eyes widened in surprise as Hiro's blade neared her. She tried to evade, but it was too late. Hiro's attack made contact, and a burst of energy erupted from the impact point, sending shockwaves through the arena.

[ "Tempest Veil" ]

As Hiro's blade descended upon her, she summoned her formidable skill, the "Tempest Veil".

A swirling vortex of wind materialized around Elenia, forming a protective barrier. Hiro's Celestial Strike struck this barrier with incredible force. However, the impact of his attack was redirected away from Princess Elenia to the ground behind her.

The arena quaked as the force of Hiro's attack was directed at the ground, creating a breathtaking spectacle for the spectators.

For a moment, it seemed as though Hiro's attack might break through the Tempest Veil, but Elenia's control over her technique was absolute.

She channeled her mana into the barrier, reinforcing it. The Tempest Veil held strong, preventing Hiro's blade from reaching its intended target.

Hiro was momentarily stunned by the Tempest Veil of Elenia. He had hoped that his Celestial Strike would be enough to turn the tide of the battle, but it seemed that Princess Elenia was not to be underestimated.

However, he wasn't going to let that stop him. He had the advantage since they were in close range and Princess Elenia was originally a bow user.

But that was what he thought. Hiro wanted to take advantage of him being a sword user to battle Princess Elenia at close range.

He thought of attacking until Princess Elenia took down her barrier but Princess Elenia didn't keep her barrier up and seemed to be wanting to fight with Hiro.

[ "StarShatterer Style: Void Destruction" ]

Hiro didn't care what Princess Elenia was thinking and knew that it was his chance, so he went and attacked.

With the Tempest Veil dissipating, Princess Elenia's eyes glinted with determination as she decided to engage Hiro in close combat.

As Hiro prepared to strike again, Princess Elenia's hands began to move with astonishing speed and grace, almost as if they were transforming into blades themselves.

She channeled her mana into her hands, a radiant aura surrounding them as they began to take on a shimmering, sword-like form.

[ "Tempest Blade" ]

With this new technique, Princess Elenia's hands became her weapons. She moved forward with lightning-fast strikes, her hands cutting through the air like a whirlwind.

Hiro attacked but his sword was being blocked by Princess Elenia's hand. She pushed Elenia back with her strikes.

Each strike was precise and deadly, a testament to her incredible mastery over this unconventional combat style.

Hiro was taken aback by Princess Elenia's newfound abilities. Her attacks were unpredictable, and the speed at which she moved made it difficult for him to react in time.

He found himself on the defensive, desperately parrying her strikes with his sword.

As the clash of their powers continued, the arena trembled with the intensity of their battle.

The spectators watched in awe as the two warriors clashed in a mesmerizing dance of blades and fists. The arena was filled with the sounds of their battle, a symphony of clashing metal and crackling energy.

Hiro's mind raced, searching for a weakness or an opening in Princess Elenia's formidable defense.

He couldn't afford to waste any more mana, and he needed to find a way to exploit her vulnerability.

Hiro knew he couldn't keep up this defensive battle for much longer. He had to find an opening in Princess Elenia's defense, but her Tempest Blade technique was proving to be a formidable challenge. With every strike, she seemed to anticipate his moves, blocking and countering with grace and precision.

As the battle raged on, Hiro's body was covered in injuries. Although he made sure that none of the attacks hit his vital spot, he was still getting injured here and there as he couldn't overcome the insane speed of Princess Elenia's attack.

On the other hand, Hiro could hardly land a hit. Even with all the power up he had, his speed and strength were still below that of Princess Elenia.

Hiro had already pushed himself to his limits, and his body was beginning to feel the strain of the intense fight. But he couldn't give up. He had to find a way to make a breakthrough.

Amidst the clash of their weapons, Hiro noticed a slight slowness in one of Princess Elenia's strikes. It was a tiny opening, but it was all he needed. With lightning reflexes, he shifted his stance and made a swift counterattack.

[ "StarShatterer Style: Celestial Strike" ]

His sword descended with incredible force, aiming for the small gap in Elenia's defense. The strike landed, and Hiro's blade cut across Elenia's arm, leaving a deep gash.

A gasp of surprise escaped from the spectators as they witnessed the first injury of the battle.

Princess Elenia immediately backed off a little bit. Hiro should have pushed on but his fatigue was catching up and he couldn't attack simultaneously, missing the chance to seal the deal.

Hiro gritted his teeth in anger. This was a chance but his body had failed him at such an important part.

"Hiro Ernest, you definitely deserve your fame. However, it will still not be enough if you want to win."

Princess Elenia said.

Hiro still looked determined. Princess Elenia grinned looking at Hiro's determined expression.

"Do you think that you had a chance because you injured my arms?"

[ "Regal Renewal" ]

She extended her injured arm outward, and a radiant aura enveloped it. The deep gash on her arm began to mend and heal before Hiro's eyes.

Hiro was stunned as he didn't think that Princess Elenia would have healing abilities. That meant that all the hard work that he did to injure Princess Elenia was a waste.

[ "Aurora's Grace" ]

Wasting no time, Princess Elenia decided to end the battle. She let go of her bowstring as a powerful attack made its way towards Hiro.

[ "StarShatterer Style: Celestial Strike" ]

Hiro unleashed his Celestial Strike once more, this time not as an attack but as a desperate defense. His blade intercepted the surge of energy that erupted from Princess Elenia's attack, creating a blinding clash of forces.

The arena was filled with blinding light and a deafening roar as the two energies collided. Hiro strained with all his might, trying to hold back the overwhelming power of Princess Elenia's devastating technique.

But it was in vain!

Slowly, the Celestial Strike began to crumble under the immense pressure of Princess Elenia's attack. Hiro's strength waned, and he was pushed back, his sword shattering into pieces. The force of the attack slammed into him, sending him flying across the arena.

He crashed to the ground, his body battered and broken. The spectators watched in stunned silence as Hiro lay defeated, unable to rise.

"Winner! Princess Elenia!"
