Chapter 485 Clara Vs Jonas
In a few seconds, Clara and Jonas reached the height of 3,000 meters in the sky and stared with battle intent radiating from each other. Their eyes and posture indicated calmness among the conflict that they had as if this battle wasn't anything much to be bothered about.
Their undulations spread from their cultivation base were scrambling the whole capital as numerous eyes on the surface caring about their own business shot towards them in shock!
Such powerful undulations!
More than eighty percent of the cultivators were not able to tell the difference between the undulations of the two while more than 50% didn't know what stage those undulations belonged to!
However, the people above the rooftop of the Royal Castle could exactly pinpoint their stages and levels!
Diana and Edward panicked as they felt the undulations. They, who were alarmed because of the earlier undulations didn't dare to go out but they knew that one of the undulations felt familiar, belonging to their elder sister.
Only then did they come out and saw the two specks of silhouettes in the skies looking at each other with battle intent.
"This... What's happening?" Edward went wide-eyed.
"I-I think it's just a spar... Otherwise, they would've started to fight already..." Diana made her analysis as she looked at the sky and the others who were above the Royal Castle.
Suddenly, a transparent barrier was erected around the Royal Castle.
"This... This is the old Low-Level Sky Grade Defensive Formation that has become usable with Low-Level Spirit Stones!"
The activation of this formation lied within the ruling party's hands, then that meant Clara had activated the Defensive Formation.
Clara waved her hands and the jade-like stone that was in her hands flashed with a glowing light before she stored it into her spatial ring.
Jonas had been waiting for this too, however, he didn't think that the unused old defensive formation would finally be usable.
He let go of his inhibitions and said, "Let's battle."
However, his smile was no longer chilly. Only battle intent remained.
He decided that if he were to gain the upper hand in the battle, he would let his niece leave without any harm. Because, when Clara had erected the Defensive Formation, he felt like he was the one who was invading the Royal Castle!
Being magnanimous to weaker sex would help maintaining his image and besides, ruining Clara's reputation by defeating her only to look at her despondent silhouette didn't sit well with him.
That would instantly make him out to be a villain!
As a person who did nothing but admire women with his eyes after his first experience, he didn't want to hurt her! Only their frail and delicate figures would remain in his mind.
Nevertheless, Clara had made his eyes bleed and he felt that this humiliation should at least be repaid once!
Clara lifted her fingers and at the same instant, Jonas spread his hands as if he was commanding an array of instruments.
Formless wind emerged from his arms and as he waved his hands towards Clara, thin strands of sharp wind cut through the air as it shot towards her!
Instantly, an ice wall formed in mid-air, completely reflecting off the rays from the sun at Jonas.
Jonas blinked from the sudden reflection and the ice wall erected by Clara simultaneously shattered from the sharp winds, however, Clara was nowhere to be seen.
He panned his gaze, trying to search for her silhouette, and instantly he felt a sharp gaze fall on him.
Just before he could react, a long ice shard that was sharp enough to be a lance pierced through his abdomen, spurting blood in the process like a drain!
His two eyes cast a despaired gaze to Clara in disbelief!
In the air, Clara's eyes displayed shock as she couldn't believe that she had harmed her uncle to this degree, however, her eyes flashed purple and she instantly moved away from her current position.
A rather thick strand of wind cut through the place where she floated, cutting a piece along the edges of her garment.
Clara cast a gaze towards the corner of her purple empress's robe she wore before she glanced at Jonas who had his abdomen pierced by her Ice Lance.
Jonas had a smile on his face despite the blood leaking from his lips. The next moment, he disappeared with only the ice lance remaining floating in the skies, without even a hint of his blood on the white-blue surface of the ice lance.
Clara witnessed the scene as her lips curved, displaying a stunning smile that would entrance one into a stupor!
This is what she had been looking for! An engaging battle!
Besides, she finally knew what the opponent's cultivation technique is!
"Indus Illusion World!!"
Above the Royal Castle, Diana shouted in surprise!
Someone was using the same Essence Gathering Cultivation Manual as her! And from the looks of it, it seemed to be her uncle, Jonas!
Her eyes sparkled, thinking that she can learn a lot from this battle!
Jonas looked at Clara's smiling expression in a stupor. The illusion he cast almost became undone as was on the brink of losing concentration.
At the same time, because he was hiding in an illusion, his loss of concentration meant that his illusion would disperse.
The skill that he cast was an active illusion, meaning that the fake Jonas who was stabbed with the ice lance could be controlled by the laws he employed with his essence energy.
For the same reason, the ice lance didn't pierce past the fake Jonas but stayed right there in the air!
'S-so beautiful...'
Nevertheless, he couldn't help but inwardly comment at her when he saw her smile!
From all the women he had seen before, Clara was top-tier. She was practically a gem.
'If only she weren't my niece...' At the same time, he couldn't help but lament.
Suddenly, his pupils dilated before he hurriedly dodged to the side!
A 5-meter block of towering ice that had the shape of a cube fell at the location where he was hiding, attacking him like it was targeting him!
'How!? How did she find me!?' Jonas turned aghast!
If he hadn't dodged, that would've been a direct blunt hit to his head! It was unknown if he would have directly fainted from that hit but he was more than sure that he would've been heavily injured.
Immediately, he jumped out of the illusion and waved his hand towards the side as he appeared in the eyes of the others. An enormous pressure of wind lifted up and changed the assault directions of the towering ice cubes that were targeted him.
Clara continuously conjured a 5-meter block of ice cubes as she threw them at him. Her lithe arms were dancing in the air, and her fingers were flexibly moving, targeting the ice cubes at her uncle.
Looking at her uncle dodge her throws, she felt it to be funny. It was especially so when she saw the look he had on his face when she forced him out of his hiding spot.
Clara instantly retracted her hand and the towering ice cubes that had missed the target instantly started to disintegrate, preventing it from harming the people of the capital.
Clara frowned as she heard the screams of the people below as they scattered, trying to escape, thinking that those ice cubes would fall on their heads.
What was there to scream? Hadn't she retracted her powers before the towering ice cubes could even reach 1,000 meters from the surface?
