The explosion created a huge sound as it had completely covered Simon; I could see how silver energy acted like a fuse and lightened the whole Simon up.

The Eldritch Sword Art is a little different than normal or at least its first chapter, which is the only one I was able to read. It used one's ability and worldly energy to create a bomb that quickly spread over the user and create the explosion.

It worked really well, especially when there is another energy like just now Simon was using the Inheritance Energy and Energy of the Art. My attack had merged with them and created even bigger energy.

Thud!

I was in my thoughts when the dusk around Simon cleared, but just as that happened, I saw Simon losing consciousness and falling down on the floor.

Normally it is very hard to make one this level of powerhouse unconscious, but the power of the attack was too great that Simon could not resist; he had fallen unconscious and quite seriously injured.

"Micheal Zaar Winner!" The host declared, and a deafening cheer broke through the audience. They seemed to have enjoyed the fight very much, as this is the biggest sound made by the audience.

I looked at Simons's unconscious form, which is being taken away before walking out of the Arena myself amidst the huge cheers.

"You have really found a good see, Josephine." "Capable of controlling more than a thousand Runes at the same time, there has never been a Knight in the past thousand years who had such exquisite energy control." Lady Vivian said.

"Thank You for praise, lady Vivian," Josephine said with a smile. "Josephine, that was quite a unique Art; I did not know you have something like that, your Academies Repository," she said, which strange glaze in her eyes.

Hearing the word repository, members of the Supreme Organisation had a strange gleam in their eyes. It is especially intense in the eyes of Wisdom Tower and Hawthorns Sea's members.

I entered the participant's area and finally felt little; the cheer of the audience was really too intense. I rather fight back to back ten times rather than face such a wild audience.

"Nice Explosion!" Jill said lightly as I sat on my seat, to that I had just smiled. 

The comprehension of Art came at the right time; without it, it would have been really difficult for me to win the fight, and that was just a starting; there is still a quarter-final match, and if I am somehow able to win that there is semifinal which I really don't think I could win.

"The Battle Explosive, I hope our next would also create such impressions as this one had." The host said as she appeared in the center of the Arena.

"The next battle will be between Jillian St Palen and Bobby Watts." The host announced as the name and projections of both of them appeared on the screen.

Just as Jill's name is announced, an excited expression appears on the face of Jill; it is like she couldn't wait to join the battle. " Good Luck!" I said softly when she got up from her stop.

Winning this battle would not be a problem; Bobby is strong, have around the same strength as Simon, but he is not at the level of Jill. She will easily defeat him; the only question is how much power will she have to show to beat him.

Even Edmond has to reveal little of his power against his opponent, and Jill will have too. I could see everyone's gaze became sharper as Jill and Bobby appeared on the Arena, wanting to watch the moves they will reveal.

Their battle started, and right from the moment, it was shocking, right from Bobby invoke his inheritance and Art as he saw Jill in horror. Not only was he shocked but us too.

Speed, what kind of f.u.c.k.i.n.g speed it is, Ive never seen any knight this fast. If not for the killing Rule helping, I would have seen the green blur moving across the battlefield.

Jill is too fast; in front of it, the speed that Simon displayed earlier is child play, and the only reason Bobby is staying in the Arena because of his damn good Art. Unlike most people who had offensive Art, Bobby had defensive Art, and seeing it helping him to avoid his razor-sharp attacks. It is a damn good defensive Art.

Speed had always been Jill's forte; the ability she got from her monster is also that of the speed. After the initial shock wore down, seeing her speed, I am not much surprised seeing her have such awesome speed.

She has huge strength, so it is normal for her to have such great speed; I just wished I could have such speed.

I could have a speed that is far greater than it if I can help us my Mystic Energies into my Armor; my Armor would reach an entirely new height if I am able to incorporate the Mystic Energies into my Armor.

But it is hard, extremely hard.

I had asked the professor about it, and she said it is possible, and she even told me some ways to do that, but each of that way out of my league. No knight level could use those ways, even those who reached the unknown level of Knight could not do that.

Sigh!

I sighed as I shook my hands with those and watched the battle, which is coming to an end. Jill had already destroyed more than half of his defense, and it would not take more than minutes to destroy the other half the Armor.

Seconds passed by, and with each second, Jill had destroyed more and more his Armor till the black golem phantom that was covering him completely crushed under the delicate blade of Jill.

Jill had defeated her opponent in less than four minutes. Now the only fight remained till the Top 5 could be decided.
