She was a wearing a mask but he saw her countenance with his Soul Sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shifted his gaze to the battle and to his astonishment, it was really Wayn who was slowly gaining the upper hand, and not Kreel who was dominating the battle a few seconds ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He observed Kreel’s movement with his eyes and saw his movements were getting slow and even, erratic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His kicks and punches were lethargic as if there weren’t any power behind it. It was as if he was drugged...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Davis’s eyes widened in shock, ’So that’s what it was...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Davis finally realized the purpose of the Sleep Inducing Powder he confiscated from Edward. It wasn’t for him exactly but this young boy known as Kreel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’When did she exactly use this on Kreel? Or is that brat Wayn who used it?’ Davis smiled, a little bit amused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The match continued, and to everyone’s surprise, Kreel took a heavy blow to his head and fainted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the platform, the young boy who punched his opponent’s face had an incredulous expression on his face as if he couldn’t believe that he won.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowly pulled his fists back and looked at his palm with a confusion filled emotion swirling in his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Davis observed his reaction and slightly knitted his brows, ’Could it be that this brat isn’t in the know?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surprisingly, if it wasn’t him, then it meant that Diana used a deceitful method for Wayn? That spoke volumes about how she felt about Wayn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving his confusion aside, the semi-finals continued with another pair entering the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was masked while the other boldly took above the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd whispered in hushed voices about how the young boy was a prince while the masked girl’s identity was unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edward bowed his head for a brief moment before declaring, \"I won’t show mercy...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do as you please...\" A melodious yet young feminine voice resounded, garnering the attention of the crowd as they discussed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because it was the first time they heard this girl’s voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Wayn who was making his way out blinked his eyes in confusion. He felt like he had heard this voice somewhere before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The referee above sighed once again for the failure of Kreel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This competition was hosted by Cauldon Family and its youngest genius fell in the semifinals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Kreel had secured the 4th place, it was still a slap to their faces since they’re the one who’s hosting the competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The referee once again lowered his hand and signaled the beginning of the competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Boom!~*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightning sparked in the place where Edward stood, but only an afterimage remained a split second later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edward instantly arrived before Diana and brandished his fist towards her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes suddenly narrowed as he retreated, even without trying to finish the punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t stay in one place but continuously used his footwork to keep moving around the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood seeped out of his mouth but he smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that he received injuries from Diana’s offense but it was the backlash from withdrawing his own attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’ve battled with you many times and I know all your strategies...’ Edward smiled confidently and kept on with his lookout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was sure that the visible Diana in his field of view was nothing more than an illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Overcautious...\" A voice spread around him, making him turn back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Bzzz!~*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He unleashed a wave of lighting at that direction but suddenly a gust is wind approached him from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It lifted him off and made him go off balance as he flew like a kite that its string cut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoaaa... Ahh... Aaaa!~\" Edward shouted as he was blasted off towards the corner of the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He regained his balance and quickly but carefully approached the center of the platform to avoid being blasted out of bounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his field of view, one more Diana appeared, halting his path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression turned awry as he realized that he was in a pinch and cannot perform long-range attacks which put him at a disadvantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wryly smiled and dashed towards one of the Diana’s in a last attempt to save himself from going out of bounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Bam!~*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, his leg tripped as he fell face-first on the floor. He lifted up his face incredulously while gazing behind and saw Diana, looking at him in a crouched position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the mask, he could visualize the mocking expression used to look at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ughhh....\" Trying to move, he cracked his joints but the wind on his limbs bounded him from moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He instantly employed lightning while trying to break the wind bind, but he then saw a kick coming straight towards his nape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes widened and his vision went blurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quickly driving Extinction Lightning Judgement, he brought back his consciousness and broke free from the wind binds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Retreating backward, he tried to gather his full potential when suddenly a kick arrived at his neck behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Boom!~*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahhh!\" Saliva flew out from Edward’s mouth as he fell down, not moving anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man floating above the platform, who was the referee, arrived and checked Edward’s condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then announced, \"Victory goes to the masked lady, Evelynn!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diana laughingly muttered in a low voice, \"683 Wins and 1 Loss... That one loss was a small price to pay...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just before participating in the competition, she deceived Edward by losing to him on purpose during the spar session.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It served to inflate his confidence which gave him the thought, ’Elder sister is no longer a threat, so I can defeat her if I give my best!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just as she planned, that thought worked against him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, just like you know my tactics, I know yours as well... It’s just... My tactics are endless...\" Diana proudly muttered to herself in a low voice while inwardly laughing at the frothing Edward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their spar session, this sight was nothing but a common occurrence.\u003C\u002Fp>",1018,"2026-05-28T19:17:11.955Z","2026-06-01T04:28:48.398Z",1,"novelbin.me","a364fa8172001ae0eb72f85022b79d86d9327efc4e5895819504eeef66fe85fc","divine-emperor-of-death-chapter-342","divine-emperor-of-death-chapter-340",5072,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-emperor-of-death-cover.jpg"]
