James had not used the Chaos Sword or the Nine Voices of Chaos to attack Wynona during their final exchange. That was because he could tell that Wynona had sustained serious injuries, and she was merely holding herself together by drawing on large amounts of energy.
“Do you still want to fight?”
James could see Wynona grimacing in pain. Yet, the woman clearly had no intention to back down. She levitated in mid-air and fixed her gaze on James.
He said, “You’ve sustained severe injuries that require immediate attention. If you insist on continuing with the battle, you might not escape alive.”
Wynonaʼs eyes blazed with rage as she glared at James.
‘Thereʼs no way Iʼd lose! I can’t lose like this!
‘I have the Caelandor, the greatest weapon in all of Verde District! I’d be humiliated for eternity if I lost in spite of this!’ Wynona seethed inwardly.
“I canʼt lose, and I wonʼt lose.”
Wynona gripped her sword handle firmly. Then, she slowly stepped toward James. With each step, Wynonaʼs aura gradually grew.
It was evident that Wynona had used some kind of forbidden art to increase her aura and powers. By doing that, Wynona could wield powers even greater compared to when she had started the battle.
Still, the usage of secret arts or forbidden arts usually came with consequences. Not only would it inflict severe damage to the cultivatorsʼ body, but it would also take a long time for the person to fully recover. Also, the heightened state would only last for a short amount of time.
Soon enough, Wynona was able to speed up. Her aura had increased tremendously. Simultaneously, the Caelandor Sword that she was holding shone with a blinding light. In a flash, the sword radiated an incredible amount of Sword Intent that swept across the arena.
Suddenly, Wynona vanished from her spot. Before James could react, she had reappeared before him as she brutally swung the Caelandor toward James.
Clang!
