Digitize: Rebirth of the Silver Death God

Chapter 194: Kenra Vs Seya

When Kenra mounted the stage, everyone watched in interest as they knew things might become more interesting; even though Judy was of a prominent background, her loss was anticipated by many in the audience, each having known her true shortcomings.

Kenra, on the other hand, despite being a newly rising genesis of the Blood Steel Society, was a bit more renowned, as such, even though his opponent was a talent from the Martial Union, no one thought he'd lose too badly.

"That Kenra... how do you think he fairs off against our Seya?" Kailua Mei asked Kojima Ryusei.

Ryusei made a thoughtful look as he replied, "I'm not certain, I've heard he's pretty good in one of those other Novice Villages, but he didn't actively show his strength even in the Ranking Lists. It's likely that he was similarly preparing for the Gate of Legends and decided to keep a low profile."

Kailua Mei had a flash in her eye as she spoke, "Oh, I see, well, it doesn't matter, regardless we are still in the strongest position at this meet. If there are persons who can defeat Seya, that's good, but there won't be many who'll easily take down, Tendra, much less of us."

Ryusei smirked at this as he looked at their other companion, a muscular youth in martial robes and a bald head. His manner gave one the feeling as if looking at an ancient time's cultivator.

Back on the side of the Blood Steel Society members, Judy had already walked over to Yullia.

"Miss Yuliia, I'm sorry," she said as she lowered her head before Yullia, who had a bad look on her face as she lectured her.

"Judy, you've disappointed me; you've made too many mistakes in today's battle, the first being too confident in your skills. You should have already expected your opponent to be strong, even more so because they are from the Martial Union. Had you taken a more passive stance, you would have lasted longer and might have been able to find chances somehow, but in the end, you lost. Once we get back, we'll have to reassess your training."

Yullia said while staring at her sharply; Judy kept her head down and nodded. Not wanting to say anymore, Yullia motioned for her to join the others; Judy then when to sit down nearby Nero and the others.

While walking, Judy saw that they were looking at her with varying expressions; she snorted even more as she saw Nero's eyes that had a tinge of pity.

'Taking pity on me because of my loss, hmph! I'd like to see how you fair!'

Judy thought as she meanly looked at Nero before turning away and seated herself down. It seemed she wasn't the type to fall for handsome faces and was even more stubborn.

"It seems she doesn't like me; oh well, she shouldn't have been so quick to achieve victory," Nero said as he looked at the sour expression on Judy's face.

"Hehe, it serves her right," Elly said with a light snicker.

Nero gave her a surprised look; he had never thought Elly would suddenly show hostility towards a random female. A pity Nero didn't know; he wasn't the only one who noticed Judy's look of scorn prior.

'It serves her right, that'll teach her than to mock what's mine.'

Elly thought to herself as she peeked at Nero, but as if she realized something, her face turned red as she shook her head.

'Wha... what am I thinking?' She hurriedly shook off her embarrassment and focused on the scene on the stage.

Nero smiled at this but soon felt Avollo's gaze; he hurriedly turned away, not saying anything to him.

"Heh, well well..." Avollo murmured as he watched this with eagerness even more than the looming battle ahead.

By now, both Seya and Kenra were already rearing to go; Kenra adopted a comical martial arts posture with one foot stretched forward and the other bent. He held one arm in the air and the other much further outward; hanging from the end of his palm was a chain ball that he casually swung around in a circular motion with a smile on his face,

"Hmph! Don't get so cheeky," Seya said with a cruel glint in her eyes as she adopted the same stance used to defeat Judy, both of her arms stretched behind her as she lowered her torso, her magic power emitting from her body as her Combat Force rose sharply.

Nero, at this moment, had a strange thought, 'Wait a minute, now that I think of it, why are they not using their Digitizer Bit? I'm sure these guys should have at least Partial Awakened like myself.'

Adult Nero continued to observe with an indifferent manner as he replied, "You would have heard the details before you fight, but I might as well tell you now. This assessment is testing the talent of Novices, sure a Digitize Bit can make you powerful, but even when partially awakened, you can't manifest any of its true abilities, not until you've acquired your Inheritance Weapon. As such, it's better to assess each of your combat skills directly."

'I see, so that's why...' Nero thought with a look of understanding on his face; his eyes continued to observe the scene.

Suddenly, the masked man waved his hand down as she shouted once more, "Let the battle begin!"

Seya took the initiative in this round; she wanted to eradicate Kenra in as short a time as possible. Her body moved well over 115 km/h as she strafed from left to right, seeking to disorient his view.

"Your speed isn't half bad, but even a weighty guy like me is more flexible..." Kenra said as he continued to spin his chain ball, his posture not moving an inch as his eyes calmly tracked Seya's position.

"Hmph! Then since you're fast, let's see if you can stop this, Blade Cyclone!"

With Seya's battle cry, she jumped into the air and tossed her two-ring-shaped blades towards him at an angle. These blades spun quickly as their magic power around them congealed two miniature cyclones that seemed as if they could sheer anything apart.

The audience watched this with curious expressions as some talents flinched in fear, feeling the terrifying amount of combat power in the attacks.

"The Martial Union is worthy of its fame; her Combat Power right now has even achieved a total of 355, pretty good," Screwgelman said at the Yullia of and Ian.

"You're right, that child is talented, but so what? Though our little Kenra is a bit weighty, he's not one to lose under pressure," Yullia said with a confident smirk.

As if proving her words correct, Kenra had a calm smile on his face as his feet kicked the ground. His figure leaped into the air like a ball that bounced as he swiftly soared beyond the two cyclones, aiming for the now unguarded Seya.

Seya's face showed a look of shock, but that soon changed to a sneer as she reacted, "You're quick, but even so, you've also foolishly led yourself to my trap."

With waved of her hands, the blades at the center of the cyclones glowed before tilting to one side. These caused the cyclones to turn before sweeping towards the now airborne Kenra at incredible speeds.

Kenra had a look of alarm on his face as he trembled a bit; Seya had a nasty smile on her face seeing his expression; she couldn't wait to see her blade chop apart a piece of his meaty figure.

However, she soon frowned as she found something strange. Despite the look of fear on Kenra's face, he had still kept bolting towards her like a rocket.

'What the hell is he...?' Before Seya could even understand what was happening, she noticed that Kenra's face once more became calm as he spoke with a grin, "Haha, checkmate."

"What?" Seya asked confusedly, but it didn't take long for her to understand his meaning.

With a poof, Kenra's body evaporated like mist, leaving only the scene of the rapidly approaching spinning blades at the center of their cyclones.

"Oh, nooo!" Seya exclaimed in horror as she hurriedly tried to cancel her attack, but it was too late, she tried to avoid it, but it wasn't so easy to maneuver while airborne.

The cyclone slammed into her body with a bang, sheering her clothing apart as wounds began to appear all of her flesh.

"Argghh!"

Seya made a painful cry as she felt like she could die at any moment, but before that could happen, a figure made a snort and appeared on the stage and struck out his hand.

A ripple of energy spread out instantly, which disappeared the cyclones, causing the two ring-shaped blades to fall to the ground.

Seya's wound body then fell into this figure's arms as he stood calmly on the stage and glared at its center; there, Kenra stood in the same posture as he had been since the start; it didn't even look as if he had made a move or even jumped prior.

"You truly must take our Martial Union for a flock of fools; how did you do it?" The person asked.

"A master never shows his tricks, now run along; I think you little miss needs every second she can get," Kenra said with a smile.

With a sharp look in his eyes, the elite belonging to the Martial Union glared at Kenra as if wanting to do something, but in an instant, his face turned pale as he sensed a black aura coming from the side of the Blood Steel Society.

Noticing Yullia's icy manner, he didn't dare to do anything but snort and leave the platform, hurrying with Seya to the infirmary.

"Victory goes to Kenra of the Blood Steel Society!"

The area had become filled with silence for a moment, but a series of discussions had begun.
