Chapter 88 Alicia vS Sera II
Chapter 88 Alicia vS Sera II
Standing on the icy field, Sera knew that she was in big trouble. But Alicia didn't give her time to think further.
"Ice blades!"
When Alicia used her magic, sharp blades made of ice came out of the icy field and plunged towards Sera.
"Mud shield!"
While trying to dodge the attacks, Sera raised a mud shield to block those ice blades. But the Ice blades attacked her from all directions and she knew if this continued she would not be able to continue.
'Shit, if only I had my summons with me!'
Thinking of the only summons, the golem she had with her. She knew that winning this fight was very difficult, given the current situation.
'I underestimated Alicia a little too much. Even if I have my memories and experiences. I don't have my past strength.' n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Barely avoiding the ice blades, Sera tried to cast her spell to get out of the range of the ice field.
"Oh, no you don't!"
Alicia instantly saw through her thoughts and used another magic.
"Ice cage!"
Sera, who was ready to escape from the ice field, found herself surrounded by icy thorns that grew and twisted together, forming the shape of an icy birdcage.
'Crap!' she cursed inwardly.
"Earth Bullets!"
Sera used her spell to break the icy cage, but her attack only left a crack on it.
'I need 3 more attacks to break it.'
Of course, Alicia wasn't going to give her enough time for that.
As soon as Sera was trapped in the Ice cage. Alicia dashed towards her while the ice blades kept attacking Sera even inside the Ice cage. Now, because of the narrow space, Sera was having even more difficulty dodging them and was interrupted every time she tried casting her spells to attack the ice cage.
Sera started getting more and more impatient. Because she knew that the longer she was trapped here, the more difficult it would be for her to escape.
And that is what happened. Alicia was not giving her any opportunity.
Suddenly, the cage twisted as if trying to crush Sera inside.
"Summon Golem!"
In desperation, Sera called out her summon. Which took all the attacks in her stead.
The ice cage broke, but the golem was also crushed with it, though it managed to protect Sera from serious harm.
'Now, I can escape!'
Sera immediately tried casting her movement spell to escape from the ice field. Unfortunately, she was a step too late. Alicia was already close to her. Using her sword coated with mana, Alicia showed a beautiful sword slash while moving gracefully directly beheading Sera and eliminating her.
Sera's head fell on the icy ground and rolled, still showing a shocked expression. Then a moment later, her detached head started disappearing along with her body.
Losing the battle, Sera failed to help her loved one reach the top. Though, even if she had won this battle, she could not have achieved her purpose. Since someone already eliminated him even before her.
Now that the fight ended, Alicia removed her magic and started taking deep breaths, recovering her mana.
'I used a little too much mana on her.'
'I have to recover fast so that I can fight Luis at my full strength later.'
Thinking so, Alicia disappeared into the woods finding a place to rest.
***
Inside the stadium. The venue was full of loud cheers and applause.
The reason for that is just now they had displayed the battle between Alicia and Sera on the main screen.
"Damn, that was so intense!"
"Those two are so beautiful!"
"The green-haired girl looks like a doll!"
"Yeah, but I like the black-haired one!"
"Her moves were awesome!"
"She even froze the trees and grass!"
Now the audience had many fans of Alicia and Sera.
Even the professors were enthusiastically discussing the battle.
"Both of them had good execution timing. But the candidate Sera fell into a downfall at the start and after that candidate Alicia didn't give her any opportunity."
"Candidate Alicia won because she had a higher mana reserve than Candidate Sera."
"Hmm, she is also a Novice Rank." Professor Olivia mumbled while thinking about the other Novice rank in this test and his extraordinary performance until now.
'I wonder...?! When those two meet each other, what kind of exciting battle we will get to see?!'
Olivia's eyes lit up just thinking about it.

Inside the VIP box.
"Hahaha, did you see that? RONALD!? My daughter is amazing!!!"
"Yeah, yeah, I know. Can you stop shaking me already?!" Ronald said while trying to remove David's hands from his shoulders.
Looking at the laughing, David, Ronald and Lumine were also happy.
Lumine wasn't much surprised by Alicia's performance. Because she is the one who taught her for the last three months.
She had taught Alicia based on her fighting experiences with Maria and also taught her all of Maria's fighting styles that she remembered.
Because Maria was her best friend and they had fought many battles together and against each other. Lumine was extremely familiar with Maria's use of the Ice element along with her swordsmanship.
Alicia is also very talented as she managed to grasp them pretty fast based on her teachings.
After pushing back David's hands, Ronald smirked while nodding in satisfaction and said, "This is what is to be expected from the future daughter-in-law of the Suarez family."
Lumine shook her head with a sigh, and thought inwardly, 'he is at it again...'
She had no intention of talking and directly ignored the two of them.
David really wanted to strangle Ronald at this moment. 'Why do you have to attribute everything to your Suarez Family?'
But he was also very familiar with Ronald's personality and knew very well that he would say such things only when he was extremely happy.
This shows that Ronald was extremely proud and happy for Alicia at this moment.
Just thinking that his daughter would have such loving in-laws, David was relieved about his and his wife's decision regarding this engagement.
But then, he remembered Luis' words before and snorted in dissatisfaction.
'He reluctantly accepted my daughter, right?'
Even if David knew that Luis was lying. He was still very angry.
'I will teach him a lesson later.'
