I was out of the path of her blade long before it could reach me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>⟨Battle Reflex — Boosts reaction speed for 5 minutes, aiding in parries, dodges, or counters.⟩\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time seemed to slow just enough for me to read her next movement as her blade shifted toward my left shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sidestepped to narrowly avoid being cut down and fired a «Piercing Bolt» at her exposed side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The glowing beam of energy shot forward, but Thalia twisted her torso in an unnatural motion, letting the bolt graze past her armor and fizzle out against the cavern wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she wasn't just fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was reading my every move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calling upon «Flame Lash» next, I conjured a blazing whip of fire that crackled with heat. With a flick of my wrist, it snapped toward her legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Thalia was quick to react. She stepped back and defended with her sword, letting the fiery whip coil around it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The incinerating heat seared through its blade until it turned a deep red and melted through the middle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword dissolved into particles of light, and without missing a single beat, I fired several more rounds of «Fire Arrow» at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, she dodged each one and summoned three more Cards in turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A golden kite shield and a lance appeared in her two hands as a result. Now, she looked more like a gladiator than a knight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The final Card she cast was her Origin Card — Blessing Bestowal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Our father's innate power allowed him to Extract anything from anything. He once even extracted the very essence of time from a region in the Spirit Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, within the borders of the Golden Sanctuary he had established, no one could die — because he had Extracted the concept of death itself from that local area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My sister's power, however, was the exact opposite of his. Where he could Extract things, she could bestow power upon objects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a formidable Origin Card. And one day, it would make her immensely powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for now, at [C-rank], she could only enhance the inherent qualities of whatever object she targeted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, a sword is sharp. So she could amplify its sharpness three-fold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An armor is meant to protect, so she could increase its durability by three times as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she couldn't make the armor sharp. And the more objects she enhanced, the more Essence she would drain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, it was a dangerous power. One to look out for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a matter of fact, her enhanced kite shield became a problem for me almost immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With it now fortified, she didn't even bother dodging my «Fire Arrow» or «Piercing Bolt».\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, she barreled through my attacks like a reinforced military tank and kept charging at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment she stepped into striking range, Thalia swung her shield aside and thrust her lance straight at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I bent my knees and raised my guard, bracing for the hit as I activated «Steel Hide».\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>⟨Steel Hide — Temporarily hardens the skin, reducing incoming physical damage for 10 seconds.⟩\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lance came speeding toward me, and I intercepted it with the elbow of my good hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My skin, now hardened like tempered steel, deflected the blow just enough to keep it from hitting any vital area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it didn't hurt at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...Or at least, that's what should've happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, it hurt like hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like trying to stop a battering ram with nothing but bone and flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pain was sharp and immediate, but I shoved the attack aside anyway, leaving Thalia wide open for a counter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn't a fool, though. Before I could exploit her opening, she snapped her shield back in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately for her, I had just the move to deal with that — «Barrier Breaker».\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>⟨Barrier Breaker — Massively increases attack power for a single strike, ideal for breaking through shields or barriers.⟩\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitating, I drove my fist into her kite shield with all the strength I had, striking from a low angle like an uppercut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shield didn't break, but the impact was powerful enough to send it jerking upward, leaving her completely exposed one more time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now she had no way to defend herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, she was still covered head to toe in armor, but I could practically feel her eyes widen behind her visor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And her shock only grew when I shot a «Piercing Bolt» at her face using my other hand. Her helmet absorbed the brunt of it, but the force still snapped her head back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time she steadied herself and looked forward, I was already gone — vanished from her sight like I was never there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had used the moment she was stunned to circle her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without giving her a chance to react, I wrapped my arms around her waist from behind and lifted her clean off the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wha—!\" A startled cry escaped her lips, but it was too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hoisted her into the air and fell backward, slamming her into the ground by executing a perfect German suplex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact reverberated through the cave as I released my grip on her. She rolled away, groaning under her breath as her armor clanked and clicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I did the same, only I was on the verge of crying now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, neither of us moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air was thick with the sound of labored breathing — hers angry and ragged, mine uneven and tired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My arms felt like lead, and my legs weren't faring much better. My body begged me to stay down, to let the pain have its way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I just wanted to sleep now. And maybe eat chicken lollipops. A bucket full of chicken lollipops. And some cake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I still had some time before I could rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thalia was tougher than she looked — and she already looked damn tough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A suplex wasn't going to keep her down for long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I forced myself to roll onto my stomach, wincing as my ribs protested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My palms pressed into the rough cave floor, and I pushed myself to my knees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across from me, I saw her doing the same, her movements sluggish but way more determined than mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... really don't know when to give up, do you, Lia?\" I rasped, half a grin tugging at my lips despite the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, as if on cue, a loud announcement rang throughout the dome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The test is going to end in ten seconds.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice began its countdown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nine!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, looks like it's time to end this,\" I said, both my palms still pressed against the rocky ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gathering the last of my strength, I summoned my final Card for this battle — my Origin Card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eight!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thalia grabbed the shield that must've slipped from her grasp at some point, raising it in front of her. Your adventure continues at empire\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come!\" she yelled out, and I activated my innate power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seven!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the ground beneath us began to shake — or rather, the entire cave started trembling violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dust and loose rocks fell from above as the walls groaned under the pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then… nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shaking stopped. The cave grew eerily still again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thalia didn't lower her stance, but I could feel her confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though her visor still covered her face, I was sure she was trying to make sense of what just happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That confusion only grew when I got up and started running straight for the exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Six!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"H-Hey! Where the hell are you—\" Thalia's shout was drowned out by the deafening rumble as the cave suddenly began to collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of nowhere, the walls split open, jagged cracks racing up the stone as massive chunks of rock tumbled down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The roar of destruction drowned out everything as I stepped through the exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, this was my not-so-brilliant plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every attack I had missed earlier — those Fire Arrows, Piercing Bolts, and Flame Lashes — had been intentional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While keeping Thalia's focus locked on me, I aimed my attacks to weaken the cave's structure bit by bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the foundations were unstable enough, all it took was one final push from my Origin Card to set the entire cave crumbling in on itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time Thalia realized what I had done, I was already outside, standing on the ledge overlooking the cave's entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dust and debris billowed out like a storm as I turned back to watch her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Five!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thalia remained frozen on her knees for a moment, her gaze darting between the exit and the Essence Stone lying several feet away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I knew exactly what was going through her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she could protect the Essence Stone and prevent the falling rocks from shattering it, then I wouldn't win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before she could make her move, a massive chunk of stone crashed down on her shoulder, forcing her to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She cried out, barely managing to raise her shield overhead to block the flood of debris that started raining down on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Four!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with just three seconds left to spare, the inevitable happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive slab of rock broke free from the ceiling and smashed into the Essence Stone, shattering it like brittle glass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thalia looked up, her shield trembling under the weight of the falling rubble, just as the rest of the cave completely collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entrance was buried under an avalanche of stone and debris, sealing it shut as I lost sight of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The countdown stopped, replaced by a triumphant announcement that echoed across the dome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The test is over.
