As the match between Minos and Bridget started, the two demonstrated their Soul Avatars, not slow in activating their main techniques to protect themselves or harm their opponent.
That was particularly true for the Third Princess, who knew Minos could steal her cultivation base and the energies she could gather in her surroundings.
To prevent him from being able to do this effectively, she tried to circulate her cultivation technique along with her offensive techniques, creating an extra defense in her soul and spiritual energy in her surroundings.
But she didn't run to try to attack Minos, first activating her defense technique to protect her against Minos' various techniques.
She protected her mind with a technique specialized in that attribute. At the same time, her spiritual armor glowed, growing to cover parts of her projection that were not already covered.
On the other hand, Minos immediately began to use his innate ability coupled with the Devouring Art against that woman before beginning to press forward with his long-range techniques.
Since the difference between the energy levels of the two was not that great, below the 100% that would limit Minos, he immediately managed to steal some of that woman's strength.
Simultaneously, some of the free energy in the sky and on earth that she was gathering was absorbed by Minos.
Spatial Sword!
He made his sword move on its own while launching spiritual blades that went through space after departing from the weapon, traveling in impossible ways to guess where they would come from.
The special ability of Minos' current sword was of a type capable of imbuing the blades with corrosive power, capable of degrading the mental defenses of those struck by the blades it created.
Amid the attacks of this weapon, Minos began to draw his opponent towards him, using Chaotic Gravity: Attraction to force her closer to him.
Bridget was trying to fly in the opposite direction of the attraction generated by Minos' technique. At the same time, her defenses suffered from the mental attacks and blades he threw.
Her movement technique was not as good as Minos', so she was moving with difficulty to counter his movements, which were meshing together without much time between them.
'Damn! The bastard really is a genius!' This level 78 woman thought during her battle, feeling in her skin what her younger sister had gone through during the previous battle.
Her techniques were not that different from Adele's. As such, she had some of that woman's weaknesses, although her level lessened the size of those weaknesses.
However, even feeling the pressure that Minos could cause, this woman managed to do more than just defend herself, as had been the case with her sister.
Bridget, now and then, managed to find spaces to attack Minos, making it difficult for him to act.
So while Minos moved around, trying to lure his opponent into a trap, the space around him would sometimes compress and expand with one of Bridget's offensive techniques.
This technique would create vacuum pockets within a specific range of this woman, which could either crush whatever was inside these pockets or explode them, with the opposite use of the vacuum.
Bridget skillfully used this ability in the vicinity of the Soul Avatar of Minos, making the defenses on this projection work while he felt some pain caused by the remaining force of these attacks.
But that was not enough to make Emperor Stuart nervous.
While enduring Bridget's physical attacks, all she could do, he was get what he wanted since mental techniques hardly worked against him due to the Infinite Dream and Dark Sea.
Without realizing it, Bridget was getting closer and closer to Emperor Stuart, being drawn to him by Chaotic Gravity.
He was also slowly getting closer to her, which made the gravitational force in his favor stronger and stronger for that woman to ignore.
Queen Mcbride realized what was happening and frowned, trying to understand what Minos was trying to do.
You couldn't tell he had an advantage in the battle just because he managed to draw his opponent towards him. From what Hannah could see, Minos was pushing, but Bridget was also managing to wound him occasionally.
At first, this should be an even battle; hard to tell who could win just by the preliminary result.
'What is he trying?' This level 93 woman looked at Minos with narrowed eyes, considering the possibilities. 'Even if he makes the black hole, Bridget will not be fooled. She will be able to escape in time.
Then what's the point? Does he have a card up his sleeve?'
That card up his sleeve could not be the artifacts with him since, besides Bridget having items as good as Minos', arrays were forbidden in the challenge.
But soon, the queen and everyone in that area would find out what Minos had in mind to defeat someone with a slight advantage against him in terms of powers.
While Ella felt apprehensive watching Minos fight, afraid that he would win, he finally showed what he had in mind.
Minos moved his hands and activated two of his techniques in combination, fusing them to create something even more powerful.
By doing this using Infinite Dream and Chaotic Gravity, Minos showed Shaking Reality to these women of the Flowers Kingdom, indicating his distinctiveness.
Unlike 'ordinary' people like them, he could fuse several of his techniques and show the true powers of a high-level cultivator.
Bridget couldn't do the same as him, and upon encountering the Shaking Reality, she cursed Emperor Stuart before swallowing her saliva in apprehension.
'Damn it, I have to endure this!' She felt her body was leaving her soul behind while the world seemed to shake uncontrollably.
Minos smiled, but Bridget couldn't understand what was happening.
Only the onlookers in that place saw the trap he had set for her as her body flew toward him.
After making his first fusion, Minos made his second, creating several small black holes in his surroundings and a larger one in front of him.
With the creation of these regions of space, he immediately combined them with the intent to swallow Bridget's virtually defenseless body.
"That's the end of the challenge!" He shouted, seeing that woman without any defense going toward his larger black hole, being drawn in that direction by those black holes in the surrounding area.
"Shit!" Bridget barely understood what was happening, but as she felt an unmistakable chill in her soul, she realized she was in danger of dying!
Unfortunately, there was nothing she could do to get out of control of Minos' techniques, being too close to his black holes and hindered by the Shaking Reality, which would take a while to wear off its effects.
In this situation, Hannah Mcbride couldn't help but close her eyes and sigh, seeing that her third youngest daughter would die if she didn't act.
"Sigh... This is your victory, Your Majesty Minos Stuart!"
