Chapter 253 -253-Bunand
In less than ten minutes, the duel stage had already been fully repaired.
After the male division ended, it was time for the female division to take the stage.
Originally, Evelyn was not supposed to be the next contestant.
But under the direction of the Mind Demon King, Evelyn—also a human—was sent onto the duel stage as well.
What Evelyn had never expected, however, was that her opponent would actually be that elf she had just encountered earlier.
To be precise, it was the elven awakener whose biological sex was male, but whose gender identity was female.
Faced with someone who was so obviously exploiting a loophole in the competition rules, Evelyn had no intention of holding back.
At that moment, she wanted nothing more than to instantly kill such a shameless bastard!
At this very moment, Evelyn and the elf Bunand were already standing on the duel stage.
Then the host’s passionate voice rang out in the ears of the spectators.
"Ladies and gentlemen, was that last battle absolutely incredible or what?!"
The audience in the stands immediately erupted into overwhelming cheers.
The host’s ability to control the atmosphere had practically reached the level of perfection.
After stirring up the crowd several more times, the host finally got to the point.
"The next duel will also feature a contestant from the human race—Evelyn! Her opponent will be Bunand of the elf race!"
"I’m sure everyone can already tell that this battle is packed with excitement! Can the human mage create another miracle? Let us wait and see!!"
Compared with the ridicule they had shown Caelan, the spectators in the stands were clearly much friendlier toward Evelyn.
This was not because of Evelyn’s gender, but because Bunand had clearly angered the public.
He was obviously male, yet shamelessly insisted on competing in the female division.
For a race like the demon race, which revered strength, Bunand was practically trampling on the dignity of males!
"Kill Bunand! That bastard has absolutely no shame at all!"
"How many times has this been already? And he still has the nerve to enter the female division? What kind of freak is this?!"
"Seriously, what the hell? He’s still cheating like this?!"
"I’m about to puke. The female division was supposed to be pleasing to the eye, and this is the garbage you’re showing us?!"
Most of the spectators chose to support Evelyn.
Many of them even hoped that she could defeat Bunand, even though they also knew that Bunand held a huge advantage.
Suppressing the nausea rising in her stomach, Evelyn silently tightened her grip on the Supreme Staff in her hand.
In truth, she was not worried at all about how powerful her enemy might be.
After all, what Evelyn had inherited was nearly the full set of magical skills belonging to the [Dark Titan]. Because of that, Evelyn could confidently say that when it came to magic skills, she was absolutely inferior to no one.
Even against Caelan, she still had that confidence.
So from the very moment this duel began, the result had already been decided.
Sitting in the preparation area, Caelan looked toward Evelyn with a calm gaze.
"Evelyn, show these demons just how strong we humans really are now."
While Evelyn had been observing Caelan’s attacks, Caelan had in fact also been paying attention to Evelyn’s fighting style.
Just then, on the duel stage, Bunand suddenly threw Evelyn a flirtatious glance.
"Beautiful, interested in having dinner with me after the match?"
"Although my gender identity is female, what you may not know is that I’m actually homosexual, so you’re exactly my type."
That shameless bastard!!
Evelyn gritted her teeth in fury. This was beyond shameless—it was utterly disgusting!
At that moment, she felt she was already at the limit of her patience.
The referee also seemed to dislike Bunand very much, so the moment he noticed Evelyn was about to lose control and strike, he immediately announced the start of the match.
The instant the referee made the announcement,
Evelyn had already raised the staff in her hand high into the air!
In the next moment, centered on the duel stage, violent magical elements surged toward the Supreme Staff like wild horses that had broken free of their reins!
Even the demon warriors in the stands, whose senses for magical elements were normally dull, had already noticed the change in the magical flow!
Then they could not help but suck in a cold breath.
"This human female is clearly no pushover either!"
"What violent magical elements! I can’t even remember the last time I saw elements this violent!"
"My God, have human awakeners really become this powerful?!"
"Quick, look! Why has the sky gone dark again?!"
"It’s not that the sky has darkened—it’s the concentration of magical energy distorting the light!!"
At that moment, the spectators in the stands finally gained a clear understanding of just how powerful Evelyn was.
Countless violent magical elements had now all been absorbed by the Supreme Staff.
Holy radiance cascaded down from the Supreme Staff, enveloping Evelyn in a sacred aura, making her look like a magical girl bathed in pure magic itself!
"[Magic Singularity]!!"
Evelyn gently swung the Supreme Staff in her hand.
In the next instant, all the magical energy seemed to vanish completely.
Only a single twinkling star remained at the tip of the Supreme Staff, flickering dimly, looking utterly inconspicuous.
And yet it was precisely that tiny star that caused Bunand’s face to change drastically in fear.
Without the slightest hesitation, he rapidly retreated backward at top speed!
However, though the starlight was faint, its speed was terrifyingly fast.
Bunand used [Wind Speed] ten times in one breath, yet the starlight only drew closer and closer...
In just a few blinks, the starlight caught up to Bunand!
In the next instant, violent magical energy erupted like a massive explosion, instantly flooding the entire duel stage.
When the spectators saw this scene, they all involuntarily gasped.
If Caelan’s battle earlier had at least given Oliver a chance to surrender,
then Evelyn’s attack gave Bunand no chance at all!
He did not even have time to beg for mercy before he was completely blown apart by the starlight!
"What terrifying magical energy! That Bunand probably doesn’t even have any ashes left, right??"
"I think so too. If even a tiny bit of that energy touched me, I’d be dead for sure!"
"Good riddance. I’ve hated that sick pervert for a long time!"
...
Just as the spectators were discussing it heatedly,
someone suddenly noticed that Bunand’s figure had appeared on the duel stage once again!
Only now, all the equipment on his body had been completely destroyed, leaving him looking incomparably miserable.
But what no one had expected was that Bunand was completely uninjured!!
