Chapter 339: 339
An inconceivable scene unfolded in front of everyone . The audience had never seen lightning being frozen over nor had they ever seen flames erupting from cold air .
At floor 5, the arena had been frozen over by the arctic air that permeated its surroundings, the layer of ice that looks very thick is a grim reminder that the temperature is dangerously cold .
The cold air that caused this burst into flames the moment the lightning stroke . The cold air that came after it put out the flame just as quickly as it had appeared . But, the scene where flames appeared amidst a cold storm lingered in the audience’s mind .
On the other side, there’s another strange phenomenon .
The lightning pierced through layers and layers of cold air but its speed decreased gradually as time passed until it stopped like it met its arch nemesis . Finally, the lightning stopped and froze .
Two phenomena that defied physics appeared in front of everyone . Its effect shocked their cores, they will never forget this extreme display of power .
Caah and Jaafar who are also tier 8 in strength saw the clashing of ice and lightning . Jaafar clenched his fists at the faint figures of both Sylph and Mikoto .
He growled in a low voice, he couldn’t hide the frustration in his tone .
“That woman, Sylph has grown stronger…”
Caah nodded with a grave expression . He turned his attention towards Mikoto and he mused out loud .
“That newbie’s appearance belies her strength, she can unleash terrible lightning magic without so much as a chant . Just from observation, her strength seems to be on par with Sylph . ”
“Impossible!”
Jaafar clicked his tongue before he grinned .
“Sylph is not using her true powers yet, that is where she is most terrifying . That brat couldn’t possibly hope to match up with Sylph with the amount of power she’s exhibiting . ”
Sylph is someone who Jaafar dreams of surpassing .
If he recognized the newbie’s power as being equal to Sylph, this would mean that another female stood on top of him and that is something he absolutely cannot accept .
Baruba empire is an overtly patriarchal society . It’s not to the extent that they treat women as clothes but for a woman to beat a man at something is a laughable matter for the male .
As the crown prince of Baruba empire, Jaafar upheld this notion even more than his citizen . This is also the reason why he can tolerate Caah standing above him but not Sylph .
In Baruba, it’s dishonorable for a man to lose to a woman .
A lot of people vilified such a horrid culture, Caah felt nothing but disdain for such an empire . But, as a member of one of the other two empires, he is more than happy to see them continue this form of discrimination .
Those women with talents and power would recognize that Baruba is unconducive to their growth and as such would opt to immigrate to the other two empires .
Caah shook his head at Jaafar who is grinning but is actually pissed and frustrated by Mikoto . He decided it is not his place to criticize another empire’s culture, especially when this didn’t concerned him and because he is the prince of an empire .
At the same time, the situation on the arena escalated .
The cold air gathered into a storm cloud, as more air gathered, the storm cloud condensed into a giant dazzling blue orb .
