stay awake, she had to ram her left hand’s palm into the rapier’s peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After she pulled out her hand, she created a small ice cube.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, Lisa.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following that, she pulled lightly on Lisa’s back collar and put the ice cube in her clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hiii!\" Lisa let out a shrill shriek as her whole body was twitching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lisa, hurry up and stab yourself, too.\" Sylvia said indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her tone and statement seemed absurd but Lisa was able to quickly grasp the intentions behind her words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, she also pierced through her left hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So they found the trick, huh?\" Zera said unamusedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Belian’s head hung low and the posture of his upper body was weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the girls felt more energetic now and

replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, she launched a heavy punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hit his face and slammed him to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We will make an opening for you so finish this with one last attack, okay?\" Sylvia said, looking at Zera.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not respond as he looked up to the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only now that he realized that the sky turned grey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it before his match against the Maystra brothers when he looked at the sky the last time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if I have only one arm, do you think I would lose against you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zera was offended when Sylvia and Lisa faced her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two girls did not say anything back and started to emit their magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lisa was surrounded by lightning, whereas around Sylvia was a visible coldness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Lisa, who dashed to Zera first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But despite her enormous speed, Zera was able to dodge her rapier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ugh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zera kicked her away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Sylvia was already there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zera used a backhanded punch on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It hit Sylvia on her cheek but instead of tumbling back, Sylvia remained in her spot as she managed to grab on her arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sylvia smirked at her with a little blood dripping from her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly but steadily, her arm began to freeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You little-\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like Lisa, Zera kicked her away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But reality betrayed her when she thought that she was able to take a breather because Lisa came back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this time, she landed a hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is getting annoying...!\" Zera muttered enraged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rapier pierced through her stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Sylvia quickly returned and jumped at her leg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the-\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It may have seemed pathetic but it was effective as Sylvia embraced the leg with her whole body, meaning that it froze even faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lisa pulled out her rapier and was about to go for another thrust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough is enough!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lisa noticed her fatigue returning but at that moment, Zera grabbed her head and smashed her knee in her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She followed up with a kick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No matter how much pain you feel, I will give you even more pain so that you won’t stand up anymore.\" Zera stated with a fierce glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sylvia gritted her teeth, seeing Lisa getting knocked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes started to become droopy, too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And the same goes for you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She grabbed her by her hair and pulled her up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Zera threw her up and retracted her arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will end this no- Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned agape, after seeing Belian standing beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still felt a certain amount of drowsiness, however, he was able to hold his sword properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And without any words, he swiftly cut her in halves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zera did not make a sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body was split in two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her backside stood longer before it fell, too, whereas her front, including her face, fell to the front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a short while, her body began to melt as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing that, Belian let out a yawn before he collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe I should let them rest for a while...\" Sylvia muttered with a wry smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She just landed on the ground again after she was thrown in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her landing was a little awkward due to the height but she luckily did not receive worse injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the meantime, Mika ran towards the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Was it a good idea to let them be?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I told them to join the headmaster’s side.
