GACHA SOVEREIGN

224 Final

After two hours, the third elder came back to the stage.

"Final Match, Alexander Sirius versus Tasha Lockheart"

It was a very interesting match. From the unknown Alexander Sirius to the uprising Tasha Lockheart. They originally expected that Ignazio Benitez would be the one who will fight him in the final. But, Tasha defeated him.

Tasha looked at Alex carefully, she spoke, "At first, I thought Ignazio Benitez would be my rival in this tournament. I never thought you, a new disciple, suddenly come and stand in this stage. Without much information about you, this makes you look more dangerous in my eyes."

Alex looked at her face that covered by a veil, and answered with unexpected words "Both of us are Heavenly Sword Sect's disciple, Is not that enough?"

Elder Dolf was surprised by the words, but he immediately gratified in his heart. He nodded again and again. Tasha nodded her head too. He might be a problem if he was another sect's disciple.

"I am wondering why is your and the genius princess' Seven Stars Cut stronger than ours?"

This time, it was not Alex who answered her. It was the third elder, "Sect Master will announce that after this fight, so you don't need to think about it now and focus on the fight."

If Alex was the one who said it, she might become confused, and it might distract her from the match. For that reason, the third elder explained it to her.

Seeing the third elder explained that to her, Tasha drew a long breath. She released her Spiritual Energy, telling the third elder to start the match.

Alex didn't release his Spiritual Energy. He only gave a nod to Dolf Kolk. After looking at them once again, Elder Dolf finally announced, "Final Match between Alexander Sirius and Tasha Lockheart. Match Starts!"

*Cheers*

As the cheers burst out, the Spiritual Energy from Tasha also vanished. But, it did not vanish because she took it back. It was because she unleashed her first attack.

"Freeze"

The temperature dropped again as soon as the match started. The field started freezing. Within a few seconds, the field immediately covered with ice.

Alex looked at the ice on his feet, trying to freeze him. He just broke free from the ice with shear strength. Tasha looked at him, her ice didn't seem to affect him. "Seeing my ice doesn't affect you. Do you have Ice element? After all, it might be the element that can make you resist this cold. Now, I am wondering why you have not used your ice element?"

She didn't say about Fire Element, which also can resist this cold. There was another reason why she didn't say that. If Alex had a fire element, he would need to use it and covered his body with it to resist this cold. The only reason was that his own element was an ice element, that's why he can resist this cold.

Unfortunately, she didn't know Alex's had pure fire element. Alex's body had been reinforced by the Pure Fire Element. So, without using fire to cover his body, Alex was fine with this cold. But how can she know that Alex's had the priceless Pure Fire Element.

Alex didn't bother to say that to her, obviously. He didn't need to keep his Sword Intent again.

"Omnislash"

Ten swords appeared beside him, and they had been covered by Sword Intent. All of them flew toward Tasha.

A giant ice wall rose from the freezing floor. Seeing the giant ice wall, Alex immediately changed the direction of his swords. He made the swords went around the ice wall and charged toward Tasha again. The ice wall blocked his vision, but for him, it was not a problem because he had Spirit Eyes. He can see Tasha's figure behind the ice perfectly.

Tasha was surprised about this. She thought about using the ice wall to break some of the swords, then she can destroy the rest of the swords. Or even Alex made the swords went around, he should not be able to see her when she was behind this gigantic ice block.

Judging from the swords' movement, she immediately knew that was not the case. She didn't know how, but Alex can see her perfectly. The swords charged at her again and again, even if she changed her position.

"Four Direction Slash"

Four slashes suddenly flew from her swords. Of course, she enhanced them with her sword intents. She can't destroy Alex's Omnislash with his Sword Intent in it if she only used her Four Direction Slash. The swords will just destroy her slashes easily. She also needs to cover it with her Sword Intent.

*Clang*

She managed to destroy four of the swords for the time being. She almost reached the arena's wall. She immediately placed her hand on the wall as soon as she reached it.

An ice pillar rose from the wall and broke the swords. She thought about using another 'Four Direction Slash' to destroy the rest. But Alex also didn't just stand there without doing anything. From behind the ice, Tasha also can't see Alex's position. Behind the ice, Alex slashed the air.

"Pentagram Slash"

Five Streams of light suddenly flew out from behind the giant ice wall. They went toward Tasha. Tasha tried to search a way out. She was currently chased by the swords and the slashes. There was only one way she can escape.

She stepped on the ground and jumped forward to the ice wall. With that, she escaped the pursuit of the swords on her back and managed to break through from 'Pentagram Slash'.

Those slashes came toward her like a pentagon. They locked her so she can't go upward or sideward while the remaining of 'Omnislash' locked her back. The only way for her to escape was the front.

Of course, Alex had predicted that movement. Even if he didn't anticipate this, he could simply look at it from his Spirit Eyes. He raised his sword to his chest level and swung it horizontally.

"Seven Stars Cut"

With that single sword wave, it immediately cut through the giant ice wall like tofu. It continued on its path toward Tasha. Looking at this, Tasha was surrounded from all directions. If she used her 'Four Direction Slash' on the remaining of Alex's Omnislash back then, the 'Pentagram Slash' would defeat her. Now that she escaped the 'Pentagram Slash', she can't change her direction easily. So, the only thing she can do right now was to confront the sword wave head on.

"Seven Stars Cut"

She also let out her own version of Seven Stars Cut. She covered all of those five layers of Seven Stars Cut with her Sword Intent. She also infused her ice element to it.

The sword waves clashed. Because Tasha had infused her ice element inside her Seven Stars Cut. She froze a bit of Alex's Seven Stars Cut. Sadly, the difference in power was too big. She only managed to weaken a portion of Alex's Seven Stars Cut. It still continued flying toward her.

She raised her sword again and swung it down toward the sword wave.

"One Strike Sword Style. Split!"

She didn't give up. Sadly, because her momentum was too great. The impact was too much for her. It was like riding a bike in fifty kilometers per hour and suddenly was forced to stop. She didn't have anything to support the sudden break of momentum. She only had both her hands as support.

She immediately chose to abandon her left hand so she can still fight with her dominant hand. She used every ounce of her strength on her left hand to support her in this.

"Haaa!"

"Boom!"

She managed to destroy the sword wave. But it gave her a shock wave that managed to blow her away. Obviously, the direction was backward. As Alex's Omnislash was on her way. She immediately let out a single piece of ice crystal.

"Burst!"

The ice crystal suddenly exploded and blew the remaining swords away. The mist from the ice covered the area. When the mist disappeared, they can see Tasha covered with bruises as she coughed blood.

They finally managed to see her face that always covered by a veil and shocked to see the beauty behind it. With her blue crystal eyes, small nose, and cherry lips along with her alluring body. They finally able to find the otherworldly beauty. She was on par with all those 'flowers' from the sect. Regrettably, her body state was not in a good state.

Her left arm was useless now, bruises were all over her body, and blood came out from her cherry lips. She didn't underestimate Alex. Sadly, she never knew that Alex could see through that thick block of ice. The ice was a meter thick and was not transparent. It was her only but biggest miscalculation that led her to this pathetic state.

In that state, her eyes still looked at him with focus. Looking at the determination in her eyes, Alex knew that she had not given up on this match. Since it was like that, the third elder didn't say anything.

They continued to clash for a while. Sadly, it became a one sided fight. Alex continuously suppressed her in every movement. Tasha fought quite well, but Alex was still unreachable. The crowd was booing him for bullying her, mostly male. Well, considering her appearance, it should be given.

*Pant Pant*

"You are very strong, my strength has not reached you yet, and you are still an 8-Star Martial Master." Tasha was very exhausted, with just a little push, she might pass out.

"Peak 8-Star" Alex corrected her.

A smile appeared on that tired face. Tasha chuckled a little. A little sigh as her consciousness started to disappear.

"I...lost..." She muttered as she passed out and collapsed to the floor.

Of course, Alex caught her before she fell down to the ground. Many female disciples clicked their tongues, and the male disciples started booing again. Saying he was a lucky bastard or after that treatment, he can still embrace the beauty.

"Alexander Wins!"

Alex didn't care about the booing. He carried her up and gave her to Elder Dolf. Suddenly, three people appeared in the arena. In front of him was an unknown old man. Beside him was Charya.

"Give her to him, Alex. This old man is her master" Charya said.

Alex looked at Charya and nodded. He gently let the old man carried her as he put a pill on her mouth.

The old man almost charged at Alex when he looked at his disciple's appearance. Although he agreed to keep it a secret, it didn't mean that there was no movement on his heart when he saw her tattered appearance.

Charya explained his personality to him with a great deal. She said Alex also treated them the same. Whether she, Song Yu, Putri, or even Evelyn. Finally, the first elder managed to calm down a bit.

"This old man is the first elder. Just look at his stern appearance. Haiz, you know, this old man can't have a woman in his life because of his stern face." Charya complained.

The first elder was dumbfounded and immediately glared at her. Looking at the first elder's expression, the sect master came, "Ahem, Ninth Elder. Please mind the place and occasion. If you want to talk about him, please talk where he can't hear you."

"You should look at yourself first. With your personality, I doubt man will find you interesting" The first elder snorted.

"Hehe, and with your strictness, I doubt your disciples will find a man in their life."

"Enough!" The sect master finally stopped them with a shout. Not only them, but all of the disciples also stopped talking.

"We will give the reward first. For those in the top ten, come to the arena."

One by one came to the arena. Starting from those from 5th to 10th. Each of them got a bronze token with 'Outer' written on it. "With that token, you will have a one month free cultivation in Cultivation Pavilion and another chance in Martial Arts Pavilion."

The disciples thanked him. The sect master nodded, then he gave a silver token to Evelyn and Ignazio. "You can get a month free cultivation and another chance in Martial Arts Pavilion as well as ten thousand Spirit Stones, you might redeem it in Exchange Pavilion. And you will get a ten percent discount if you exchange something from Exchange Pavilion."

Both of them thanked him. Finally, it was Tasha's turn. But since she was unconscious. The sect master gave it to the first elder. "I will leave it to you First Elder since you are her Master. I'm sure you know the reward, right?"

The first elder nodded. The sect master then turned to Alex as he gave a green token made by jade. Alex received it.

"You can get three months free cultivation and a Martial Art from Martial Arts Pavilion. You can also redeem fifty thousand Spirit Stones in Exchange Pavilion. You also get a thirty percent discount on Exchange Pavilion."

Alex thanked him.
