The weapons I forge are absolutely flawless.

"Is that all you've got?"

Jessica coldly questioned her, her attacks becoming increasingly fierce, each sword strike imbued with frost, forcing Vina to retreat step by step.

At the level of high-ranking emblem wielders, the amplification from One-Slash Asura is no longer enough to make up for the difference in magic quality, and Vena's swordsmanship is far from reaching Felix's level of turning the rotten into the miraculous, so naturally she is unable to defend herself.

"It's because we haven't had a chance to use it yet."

While Viner remained nonchalant, he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest. Taking advantage of Jessica's latest slash, he quickly created distance to give himself a chance to catch his breath.

"Be careful," he said, slowly raising the longsword above his head.

The next instant, the mist that had been shrouding the dome of the trial space suddenly dissipated, revealing a dazzling starry sky.

The scattered starlight reflected on the edge of Venus's sword, exuding a mysterious and powerful aura.

"what?"

Jessica was startled, but remembering that Venerable could support her in the trial from outside the Holy Sword, she suppressed her surprise and attacked Venerable again.

As the other party approached, Viner revealed a confident expression.

He swung his sword, and a dazzling beam of starlight fell from the sky.

The starlight was incredibly fast, arriving in front of Jessica almost instantly.

Jessica used the power of the emblem to hide herself in a spatial rift, barely managing to dodge the attack.

"This is the Seven Star Sword Technique," Vena explained.

"You're kidding me!"

Looking at the bottomless pit in the ground, Jessica couldn't help but roll her eyes.

The power of that starlight was comparable to that of the ninth-ring spell Meteor Explosion.

It still turned out to be instantaneous.

You told her that this is called swordsmanship?

Despite her complaints, Jessica's eyes betrayed a hint of wariness.

Although his strength was far inferior to hers, the starfall he had just encountered had the power to severely injure her.

“Well, swordsmanship is not such an inconvenient thing,” Vener said casually.

He might be able to hone his swordsmanship to a level surpassing Jessica's, but certainly not now.

Since they are no match for him in terms of magic power and swordsmanship, they naturally have to use some unconventional methods to make up for the gap.

If it weren't for Escudo's support, how could Vena have been able to draw upon the power of the stars within the trial space?

“I can use this kind of astral attack six more times, so you’d better be careful,” Vena kindly reminded him.

“Unnecessary.” Jessica snorted coldly, not backing down despite his warning, and charged at Vina again.

"The second one!" Without hesitation, Vena swung his sword, and another dazzling starlight fell from the sky.

In a different context, this astral attack, comparable to a forbidden spell, would be a world-destroying battlefield weapon.

But for Jessica, who was already on guard, hitting her was virtually impossible.

"Boom!" The starlight crashed to the ground, creating a huge shockwave.

Jessica used the same trick again, once more using the power of the emblem to evade the terrifying attack.

Just as she was about to take advantage of the gap in the falling stars to attack Vina, a powerful suction force suddenly arose from the deep pit beneath her feet.

The suction force was like a black hole, trying to devour everything.

Caught off guard, Jessica was almost dragged into the pit as well.

She quickly adjusted her posture, using the snow in her sleeve to stabilize herself in the ground, while her brows furrowed.

"Aside from the power of the fall itself, do they each have different effects?"

After figuring this out, Jessica's gaze sharpened again.

While she was struggling against the suction of the pit, Viner had already taken out the Flame Blade Gun with her other hand.

Although most of the magic power is used to power the Seven Star Sword, it doesn't need to be too powerful if the opponent is a human.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Viner pulled the trigger repeatedly, and the scorching magic bullets whistled towards Jessica.

But just as the bullets were about to hit, they all disappeared and reappeared behind Vina.

Jessica smiled confidently, a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth.

Although this trial space sealed all her spells, it could not take away the keen senses she had honed over the years.

Even though the trajectory of the Flame Blade Gun is invisible to the naked eye, Jessica is still able to counter these attacks by controlling the flow of magic energy.

In contrast, Wiener did not fare so well.

The counter-bullets inevitably pierced his body, and blood instantly stained his clothes.

If Vena hadn't not injected too much magic into the bullet, this single blow would have been enough to knock him down on the spot.

Even so, the intense pain still turned Wiener's face pale.

At the same time, Jessica felt the huge suction force beneath her feet suddenly weaken, and she quickly pulled out her sleeve and rushed towards Vina again.

She originally intended to tease Vena by saying that even she was no match for him, and that he should just obediently accept the protection of his main body from now on.

But the sudden change in the scene before her eyes made Jessica swallow those words.

The longsword in Venere's hand suddenly turned crimson, and an immense power rose from his body.

The two swords clashed again, but this time it was Jessica, who was charging forward, who was repelled.

"My senior is the first opponent to force me into this state."

Viner looked at the Seven Star Sword, which had already triggered its near-death protection, and shook his head with a bitter smile.

Her cheeks, which had turned pale from blood loss, regained their color.

"If I'm still no match for my senior, I'm afraid I'll be stuck with her for life."

Chapter 565 Even the Holy Sword couldn't stand it anymore.

Vina sheathed the Flaming Blade Gun and gripped the Seven Star Sword tightly with both hands, assuming a fighting stance.

His swordsmanship was already inferior to Jessica's; if he became distracted, he would only make more mistakes that Jessica could exploit.

"clang!"

The two weapons clashed once more, and no matter how much frost White Snow released, it could not get any closer to Vina.

On the contrary, the immense force transmitted from the Seven Star Sword had a flavor of overcoming skill with brute force, making it difficult for Jessica to grasp the immaturity of Viner's swordsmanship, even though she discovered it.

After exchanging several moves, a third streak of stardust suddenly lit up the sky, and silver light cascaded down like a waterfall.

"Again?" Jessica gritted her teeth and swung her sword.

The two were already entangled, and if they attacked again as before, Vener would definitely not be able to escape.

Seeing the expression on Vina's face, Jessica realized that he didn't seem to be going to his death, so she immediately raised the White Cloud Punishment, preparing to use her snow armor to withstand the attack.

However, this time the falling starlight was not meant to be used to attack an enemy.

The moment it illuminated the two of them, it transformed into fine particles of light that seeped into the wounds they had previously sustained.

The blood holes in Vina's body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the oozing blood beads were evaporated into mist by the starlight.

Jessica, who was unharmed, naturally did not benefit from the treatment.

However, she didn't waste the all-around boost from entering the White Glow Punishment state, and forcibly rushed to Vina's side.

The white snow on her sleeves, like a silver snake spitting its tongue, aimed straight at the opponent's throat.

"Crack!"

The remaining starlight suddenly coalesced, transforming into a dazzling star armor that covered Vina's body.

Jessica's sword sparked blindingly as it clashed with the armor.

Although he wasn't pierced through the throat by a sword, the force from the blade still caused Vina's upper body to jerk backward.

Despite seemingly losing his balance, Vina used the momentum to kick out with great force, while Jessica clapped her hands to block it.

With the support of the Star Armor, Vener's strength increased to another level, kicking Jessica so hard that she slid seven or eight meters across the ground before managing to regain her footing.

"Is this Snow White Sleeve still working well?" Vena wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, admiring Jessica's heroic figure.

“The weapon you forged is naturally excellent.” Jessica breathed slightly, gripping the Sleeve White Snow tightly, a complex look flashing in her eyes. “It’s just a pity that it, like me, is nothing but a fake.”

“I never considered you to be fakes,” Wiener tried to correct this misunderstanding.

"Do you think I don't know whether it's true or not? If it's really as you say, then why did you change your address to 'senior sister'?" Jessica bluntly exposed his words, her tone tinged with coldness.

“Um…Jessica, I think—”

Just as Viner was about to explain, she was decisively interrupted.

“No need to explain!” Jessica said coldly. “Even if it’s a fake, I will make sure you never forget it.”

The white snow blade in his hand began to dance, and frost spread with the sword's movement, quickly condensing in the air into three lifelike snowmen.

This is not some kind of illusion, but a real, physical clone that can move.

Jessica and her three snowman clones launched an attack simultaneously, and Vener, who was already barely able to hold on by brute force, was now in even greater distress.

No matter who his sword is pointed at, the other three will attack where the target must defend.

"Do you have to be so serious? I've never even seen you use this move when dealing with demons!" Vina said helplessly.

"Otherwise, how could I leave a lasting impression on you?" Jessica said jokingly.

As the battle progressed, frost surged outwards like a tide, freezing the entire battlefield into a frigid zone.

Knowing that this couldn't go on, Viner could only look up and pin his hopes on the next astral attack.

However, Jessica seemed to have seen through his intentions, and she broke free from the encirclement, instead raising her longsword and performing a superb sword dance.

Snowflakes and frost rose into the air, turning into a thin mist that enveloped the sky and obscured the starlight.

As the fog thickened, the stellar power within Vena's body began to rapidly diminish.

"Tsk, that's incredibly meticulous..."

Viner was secretly amazed, not expecting Jessica to be able to grasp the weakness of the Seven Star Sword so quickly.

He had no intention of sitting idly by and waiting to die. Taking advantage of the remaining stellar power within his body, he directly disintegrated the Star Armor on his body.

The burst of starlight, like sharp blades, instantly annihilated the snowman beside Venus.

However, this move also reduced Wiener's defenses to a minimum.

“That’s it,” Jessica’s confident voice rang out.

The gleaming white snow sleeves were already pressed against Vena's chest; a gentle push forward would pierce his heart.

"It's a pity that my junior couldn't do it after all." Jessica shook her head slightly, seemingly a little disappointed.

Once this sword is thrust in, Venus will once again belong to her original body outside.

"Really? I don't think I've lost yet."

Even though Jessica's life and death were in her hands, Vina could still smile so calmly, a smile that made Jessica's heart flutter slightly.

"Still being stubborn at a time like this—what have you done?!"

Jessica was about to stab when she was shocked to find her body completely frozen in place, unable to move for a moment.

She could have taught this frivolous fellow a lesson with just a little more effort, but she was bound by invisible forces and couldn't even move her fingers.

"You should ask me what else I want to do."

Venere reached out and brushed aside the snow-covered sleeves, then tapped her knuckles lightly, and Jessica's snowsuit instantly vanished into thin air, leaving her body completely exposed to Venere.

"You must be very upset that you were able to win so easily, only to be reversed at the last moment?" Viner lifted Jessica's chin and said with a playful smile.

"Beast!" Jessica was unable to move, but her eyes burned with rage.
