On the main stage.

Ningguang's eyes were sharp as she stared intently at the battlefield below.

Beside Ningguang, Keqing was also watching intently. The [Young Master] who had used the Evil Eye was also of the lightning attribute, as was she, Keqing.

The move that the young master just made to break through the rain of arrows is something she might not be able to do.

There's always someone better, that's so true!

Zhongli remained expressionless; his eyes were sharp enough that he already knew the outcome.

Wendy and the Tree King had similar expressions. They could see the difference in strength between the young master and Fidele, but they didn't realize that Fidele possessed a pure soul.

After all, this thing doesn't actually exist; it was all made up by Jiang Mumu.

Even if you were a god, you couldn't see something that didn't exist!

……

Let's return our attention to the arena.

Phyllis, of course, would not allow D'Artagnan to get close so easily. She drew back her longbow with force and released her fingers in an instant.

"Shoot-"

A blinding bolt of lightning tore through the air, hurtling straight toward Dadalia with a piercing shriek.

The lightning bolt pierced through the dust in its path, leaving a brief trail of ionization.

D'Artagnan rolled to the side with lightning speed, striking the spot where he had been standing, leaving behind shimmering electric snakes.

The platform created by the Emperor is not so easily damaged.

Chapter 288 D'Artagnan's Defeat

The arrow had no effect, and D'Artagnan had already used the distance covered by his roll to get close to Fidele.

Phyllis sneered, grabbed the middle of the longbow, and with a forceful pull, broke the longbow in two.

The longbow, which had been disassembled into two pieces, instantly sprang up blades, transforming into two short swords with blades that gleamed with a chilling light.

Cardinal Fission Arm Blade, the name of the twin blades that emerged after Fidele's longbow split.

"A double-edged sword, huh? Perfect, so am I."

……

"Her bow can actually be disassembled and turned into a knife?!"

Paimon had never seen such a transformable weapon before, and his little face was full of shock.

Ying's eyes burned with intensity as she stared intently at the battlefield of Arena Number Four.

It seems that Fidele has been gaining the upper hand. Although D'Artagnan still has the Demon King's Armor that hasn't been activated, it seems that Fidele also has some trump cards up her sleeve!

She didn't want to miss a single detail of such a thrilling match.

……

On the ring, Fidele looked at Dadalia.

A qualified warrior cannot only use one weapon. Fidele is very good at archery, but that does not mean that her melee ability is weak.

Gripping her twin blades tightly, Fidele charged toward Dadalia.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

Three ear-piercing explosions rang out from the arena!

Fidele brandished her twin blades and quickly clashed with D'Artagnan three times.

D'Artagnan seized the opportunity and slashed with his sword, but unexpectedly, he only managed to strike an afterimage.

"So fast!"

D'Artagnan's pupils contracted slightly as he felt the overwhelming surge of violent energy and pure destructive intent.

Fidele's figure suddenly appeared less than three meters behind D'Artagnan, and two intersecting bolts of lightning struck D'Artagnan's back.

"Well done!"

D'Artagnan turned swiftly, advancing instead of retreating!

He crossed his two blades and forcefully blocked the thunderous blow.

"boom--!!!"

D'Artagnan's arm muscles bulged, and he actually withstood this inhuman force!

A hint of surprise flashed in Fidele's eyes, and then she slashed out with two more blows.

D'Artagnan was knocked away.

"Evil Eye - Unleash! Demon King Armament: Raging Tide!"

A hideous set of demonic armor, covered in sharp blades and flowing with purplish-black energy, instantly enveloped Tartaglia's entire body!

His strength, speed, and defense were all terrifyingly amplified, and the double blades in his hands transformed into a long spear.

……

"Demon King Armor... It seems that Fontaine should win this match."

Kaeya and Amber stayed together, discussing the battle that had taken place on the fourth arena.

Bennett: "Huh? But didn't 'Young Master' unleash his power? Miss Fidele might not be able to stop 'Young Master' now, right?"

Kaiya: "No, no, no, [Young Master] has already revealed all his trump cards, but Miss Fidele has not yet shown her true abilities. Just watch carefully, both of them are experts, and watching them will greatly help your combat skills."

"Such savagery that blasphemes the divine court... Hmph! It's nothing more than a fleeting firefly before the throne of eternal night!"

Fischl raised his left arm, summoning the phantom of the Thunder Bow, his voice suddenly rising in pitch:

"By the holy judgment of justice—when the thirteenth blood moon rises in the sky, my world-destroying demonic arrow will surely pierce the barrier of the sands of time! These [Abyssal Demonic Eyes] that see through illusion... will surely inscribe an epic poem of end that transcends the raging torrents!"

Kaia: "..."

Where is Mr. Oz?

Bennett: "I know that line. Fischl meant that she would work hard in the future to be like them and even surpass them."

Kaiya: "Haha, that's great! Keep it up, I believe in you!"

……

In the arena.

Faced with D'Artagnan in this state, Fidele's fighting spirit soared to unprecedented heights.

She brought the two blades together, quickly combining them into a battle axe. With one hand gripping the axe, Fidele leaped into the air, then gripped the handle with both hands and swung it down at Datalia with all her might.

Even now, dressed in the Demon King's armor, Tartaglia knew that he couldn't take this axe head-on.

He dodged in a flash, and Fidele's battle axe slammed heavily onto the arena.

In an instant, raging lightning poured out in all directions from the center of the battle axe. D'Artagnan swung his spear forcefully, colliding fiercely with the raging lightning.

Each swing unleashed a purplish-black energy shockwave, forcefully shattering and annihilating the incoming lightning.

With her battle axe slung over her shoulder, Fidele swung it down at Dartalia's head as he focused all his attention on Thunder.

This time, D'Artagnan could no longer dodge the attack. He could only grit his teeth and use all the energy in his body to withstand it, raising his spear above his head to meet Fidele's battle axe.

The next moment, the most violent clash of forces erupted!

The raging lightning elemental power converged into the battle axe in Fidele's hand, condensing into a strike that pierced the heavens and the earth, composed purely of destructive lightning. With Fidele's roar, it slashed out fiercely!

"boom--!!!"

Time seemed to freeze for a moment.

Immediately following was an explosion powerful enough to rip eardrums apart, and a massive sphere of light mixed with destructive energy instantly expanded outwards.

The shockwave swept across the entire arena with overwhelming force, spreading and venting outwards, but dissipating into nothingness upon touching the surrounding shields.

A charred crater, one meter in diameter, appeared in the center of the battlefield.

Don't underestimate this tiny one-meter hole. This arena was created by the Rock God. The fact that it could destroy this arena shows just how powerful the previous attack was.

At the edge of the pit, D'Artagnan knelt on one knee. His demonic armor had been removed, leaving only tattered clothes and a body covered in burns and electric shocks. The light in his evil eye had dimmed. He was breathing heavily, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes remained burning with intensity.

"You are strong!"

On the other side of the pit, Fidele carried a battle axe, her eyes defiant. Although she was also panting heavily, she was in much better shape than D'Artagnan.

It’s clear who wins and who loses.

The two men, separated by a massive crater, met each other's gazes in mid-air once more. There were no words, only heavy breathing and the lingering, hissing, violent energy in the air.

After a brief silence, a thunderous roar of cheers erupted from the viewing platform, and the crowd erupted in applause.

Paimon clapped his little hands quickly and forcefully, unaware that his hands were red from clapping.

The little guy cheered along with the audience on the viewing platform. For some reason, Paimon was inexplicably happy to see Fidele defeat the young master.

How strange!

Angie had already come down from the stands, ready to greet her defeated brother.

……

In the arena.

Fidele extended her hand to D'Artagnan, who stared at her figure in surprise.

"His Dao Heart is shattered?"

"Haha."

D'Artagnan took Fidele's hand and stood up, saying earnestly:

"Don't be so smug. I'll definitely beat you next time we meet!"

"I am waiting."

Fidele let go of his hand and walked to the edge of the arena, where the young reporters were waiting for her to interview them.

D'Artagnan watched Fidele's departing figure, shook her head vigorously, but the feeling in her heart just wouldn't go away.

It really does look alike!

Chapter 289 Greedy Cat

The world of players.

The battle between Fidele and Datalia is also presented in the game in the form of animation.

【cool--】

[Fidele possesses a pure soul; I shouldn't like her, but... but she's just too cool!]

[Haha, you're not alone. Who cares? You're having fun now.]

Poor duckling, being pinned to the ground and beaten by a girl again...

[If Angel and Fidele were to fight, who would be stronger?]

It's really hard to say what will happen if these two fight. We'll see; there will probably be a plot like that later on, unless one of them encounters the Traveler first and gets defeated.

Uh… do you really think we can beat them…?

[They're travelers, and travelers are really amazing, okay?]

Don't you think miHoYo has a lot of anime? That must cost a lot of money, right?

……

Liyue, at the venue.

After Fidele returned to the viewing platform following Charlotte's interview, she found herself surrounded by many eyes, mostly filled with admiration and respect.

Although she won the battle against Datalia, she was also greatly exhausted.

Fortunately, the next round of matches is tomorrow, otherwise she really wouldn't have much time to recover.
