Another World Mall

Clovis, who had been keeping his poker face this whole time, suddenly grinned.

His movement became sharper and quicker.

"!!!" Tesron widened his eyes in shock and hurriedly switched his stance to the defensive.

However, Clovis continued onward, pressuring Tesron even more.

Christina squinted her eyes. She realized Clovis had entered that state. "He's planning to end this in a minute, huh?"

She couldn't help but recall after Clovis went berserk during their visit to the neighboring country.

"Christina. Do you mind if I keep using my unique ability to get a bit of control over it?"

"Do you want me to stop you every time?"

"Yes." Clovis nodded with a sad expression. "During my last berserk, I noticed something. Even though my mind started getting taken over, I definitely felt the abrupt increase in my physical abilities. In other words, I was still conscious at that time.

"It only lasted for a few seconds, though. Still, I wonder if I can replicate that state a bit longer?

"I want to let the madness take over my mind, but I will still retain a bit of my consciousness. If I can harness that state just for a bit, I might be able to turn around the situation if necessary."

Christina was a bit skeptical, but if Clovis could actually harness the full potential of his Perfect State without getting taken over at all, Clovis would become a terrifying monster. Of course, Christina desired that result too.

That was why he agreed to the training. To ensure that Clovis wasn't strong enough to fight her, he deliberately took off all the items he got from Another World Mall. With this, the brutal training ensued.

Clovis kept falling and falling into the berserk state, but gradually he could control it.

Still, they only had a limited amount of time to practice. That was why he could only harness that power for one minute.

In this one minute, Clovis' physical strength was doubled.

Clink!

Clink!

Tesron gritted his teeth. It took him everything just to fend off Clovis' attack. He didn't know what was going on. Clovis' strength just increased out of nowhere.

At this rate, Clovis might defeat him. It was something he couldn't afford to do.

Tesron was trying to find a way to break through Clovis' defense, but even his future sight was useless. He could see the path, but Clovis kept reacting and overpowering him, stopping him from achieving that result.

'No. No. I can't lose. It's going to be over if I lose!' Tesron gritted his teeth. 'What should I do? What if I can't win? Should I just accept my defeat? No. There's one more outcome…'

Tesron started to fall into despair. There was one outcome that was better than losing to Clovis. However, to pull it off, he might have to sacrifice his dignity.

But this might be better than losing.

Both Clovis and Tesron knew that this was just a match, not a life-and-death battle. In other words, there were things they could do here, but not in a life-and-death battle. However, what he planned to do was a bit controversial.

Still, he had no choice. He didn't know that Clovis could only manage this state for one minute before going berserk.

That was why Tesron made his resolve.

While fending off Clovis' relentless attack, Tesron was seeking one opportunity.

And that opportunity came when Clovis swung both blades from the right.

"!!!" Finding that opportunity, Tesron immediately took a step forward. Normally, he would have to block this attack, only to get pushed back by Clovis' overwhelming strength.

Yet this time, Tesron raised his blade and swung it down.

"!!!" Clovis was dumbfounded. He didn't know why Tesron suddenly attacked him, considering this was a foolish decision.

He hurriedly sped up his short sword and put it on the blade's trajectory, trying to slow it down.

However, Tesron used his full strength in this swing. His beast soul, his momentum, and even the way he shifted his body gave him all the strength he required to overpower Clovis, who wasn't prepared for this swing.

The moment his blade clashed with Clovis' short sword, Clovis' short sword was pushed back close to his body. In fact, the blade had hit his shoulder and if it continued, he could slice Clovis in two.

At the same time, Tesron had nothing to defend against the incoming long sword from the side.

Both sides gritted their teeth, trying to take down their opponent quicker than the others. If this was a life-and-death battle, doing this would be foolish. Even if Clovis managed to strike him down, Tesron would cut him quite deep to the point it would reach his heart. Still, Clovis couldn't back down. He didn't have time to lose this exchange because he would fall to his berserk state before he could find another opportunity to take Tesron down.

That was why Clovis didn't back down. At the same time, Tesron didn't know Clovis' flaw and desperately tried to ensure he didn't get the worst result.

As a result, the three referees immediately appeared around them. Alan grabbed Tesron's blade while the other referee stopped Clovis' long sword. The general pushed both of them away, stopping the match.

"The match ends!"

"!!!" The people dropped their jaws to the ground. They couldn't help but wonder what had just happened. Now that the referee forcefully ended the match, who actually won?

It looked like Clovis was about to split him in two, but the experts could see that Clovis was on the verge of dying as well.

Principal Vhalor smiled wryly. "I guess it can't be helped. Your opponent is that Tesron, who is one tier higher than you. And he has a full mastery of his unique ability."

Ezekiel sighed. "Such a shame. But this is enough, I guess… You should be proud, old friend. Your grandson… is truly your grandson."

The general raised his hand. "I believe both referees would agree with me. I will now announce the result. It's…"
