CHAPTER 406: CHAPTER 406. BANQUET GAMES 2

A large stadium stretched out beneath a moonlit sky , and two individuals stood at the opposite end of one another.

The two individuals were naturally Angela Hayes and Sandra.

Angela had changed into casual jeans, top and sneakers, and Sandra had done the same.

Everyone in the bleachers of the stadium were staring at them intently.

Various discussions about who would win the match were ongoing.

When the signal for the match to begin went off, the two ladies did not move.

They were still standing in the same exact locations apart from one another.

A faint breeze rolled across the arena floor.

Then, several embers of milky light started floating around Sandra.

Swwosh.

The lights began to coalesce together into a spear made of light.

The spear of light was radiating extreme heat.

Angela could feel the heat radiating from Sandra even from a distance, but she simply stood at the same spot without making any move.

From her nonchalant expression, a number of onlookers thought it was either she deemed her opponent an unworthy one and didn’t take her opponent seriously, or she had simply lost her will to fight.

Sandra, snickering at the inaction of her opponent, finally moved.

In her opinion, this was an easy win for her.

In a split moment, she appeared before Angela Hayes, and released her complete aura of a rank 5 beginner stage ascendant level lifeform.

She swung the sword made of milky light with ferociousness.

Swoosh.

The sword of light cut through the air like it was cleaving through a sheet of paper, heading towards Angela.

In the eyes of some of the onlookers, and Sandra who had a smirk tugging at the edge of her lips, Angela was simply too dumbstruck by her display of power to even think of retaliating.

"An easy win for me. So much for being acquainted with Kailen Darkhaven."

Angela scoffed inwardly.

Before the attack landed, Angela, with her hands still clad in her pockets, simply sidestepped and evaded the attack narrowly.

"A fluke?"

Sandra swung the sword in several angles with swift precision and skilled ferociousness.

However, Angela was narrowly evading her attacks like she was simply taking a walk in the park.

It was as if Angela could see through all her movements.

She launched her strongest attack—three waves of milky energy that consecutively followed the slash of the milky sword.

They headed towards Angela from different angles, aimed at different parts of her body.

However, Angela simply evaded the attacks with swift movements.

Her brief evasory movements were so fast that it was as if she had turned into a phantom.

Sandra was getting impatient, and an ominous feeling was starting to creep into her heart.

She suddenly distanced herself from Angela, staring at Angela in shock.

It was then that it dawned on her.

There was no way Angela was a rank 3 beginner stage ascendant level lifeform.

She was way stronger than that.

Sandra realized she had challenged someone stronger than herself.

"You, what rank are you?"

Angela yawned at her question, as if she was bored, and smiled. "Oh, sorry. Kind of feeling sleepy. Can we end this? Oh you asked what rank I am right?"

Under the gazes of everyone watching, Angela released her aura.

"Rank... rank 1 supreme stage ascendant level lifeform."

Sandra was terrified at the moment.

She suddenly remembered when her parents had been trying to warn her. But she was overconfident and didn’t listen.

The onlookers watched with amused expressions.

Turns out this associate of Kailen Darkhaven was hiding her real strength.

She was just a low key person who didn’t want unnecessary attention.

But this Sandra had to bark up the wrong tree.

Kailen and company, who were already aware of her actual strength, had satisfied smiles on their faces.

"Little bitch thought she could use my wife as a stepping stone huh?"

Lee snorted.

Angela then looked at her with a casual yet chilly gaze.

Kailen couldn’t help but smile. "Here it comes."

Sandra suddenly found herself suspended mid air.

"What the hell is happening to me?"

She wanted to move, but it was not possible.

She was held by this intangible weight.

Suddenly, she felt like she was being crushed from the inside out.

It was as if her bones, her muscles, her organs were being squeezed around each other.

Sounds of bone breaking, muscles twisting, and the screams of Sandra resounded in the environs.

In fact her parents could not even watch the scene.

Yes, this was the virtual universe but the simulation here was just like in the real world, and that included pain and death.

In fact, at this point they had even forgotten that this was the virtual universe because what their daughter was experiencing was extremely dreadful.

As the onlookers watched what was happening, they saw Angela casually yawn.

They didn’t see her move, but they knew she was the reason behind Sandra’s current state.

Under several gazes full of curiosity and respect, she started walking towards the bleachers.

Several onlookers who didn’t know her like Kailen and the others did thought that she was showing Sandra pity and was gonna end things at just breaking a few of her bones.

However, Sandra’s form started shrinking and contorting.

"Arrrrrrrrgghhww!"

Her screams became more serious and the sounds of bones breaking worsened.

Under the gazes of everyone, Sandra started morphing into some sort of meatball.

In a moment, her floating form was now like a red meatball with blood dripping all over the ground.

She was dead.

The scene was one that no one forgot.

Sure, there were powerhouses at the galactic level here who were not moved by Angela’s supreme stage ascendant level strength.

But the way she used her affinity and her ruthlessness was something that they took note of.

She was terrifying in that wise.

Indeed, Kailen Darkhaven was surrounded by monsters, and ruthless fellows such as himself.

Angela moved towards Kailen’s group, under several gazes full of satisfied curiosity and respect.

"She’s serious!"

"What a terrifying young lady."

"She’s very powerful."

"Turns out she was just keeping a low profile."

"As expected, there’s no awakener connected to Kailen Darkhaven who will be ordinary."

"Damn, I won the bet."

"Give me my money back!"

"In your face, you piece of shit!"

As for Sandra, she appeared before her parents after she resurrected—this was the virtual universe after all, and when someone died, they would just disappear and reappear again.

She stared at Angela with a horrified look on her face.

Angela stared her direction and smiled softly, one that shook her to her core.

The message was simple.

A thought transmission from Angela rung in her head. "If you think any one of us close to Kailen Darkhaven is a weakling you can just target, then you made a big mistake. Choose your battles wisely."

Sandra stood rooted in the spot in shock.

Her parents shook her consistently, yet she couldn’t even respond.

"Honey are you okay?"

"Oh thank goodness you are fine. For a second there we thought you were actually dead, and forgot this is the virtual universe."

The horrific scene that had occurred earlier had traumatized her.

She realized that she shouldn’t have messed with someone connected to Kailen Darkhaven.

Quietly, she shrunk towards the bleacher, broken psychologically.

What happened to her was a lesson to the youngsters, and anyone planning on targeting any of Kailen’s associates for fame.

They were not weaklings.
