As Yuto used water element power to augment his movement speed, he also condensed the water element power in the air onto his sword's edge, preparing to unleash the Thunder Blade once more and secure victory in the duel.
Looking at the lightning bolt rapidly approaching her, there was not a trace of fear in the Traveler's golden eyes.
And the root cause of all this... was the green light in her hand.
Utilizing the dust generated by the falling Geo construct and the temporary blind spot, she quickly used Dendro power to set up a series of traps around her.
As soon as Yuto, shimmering with Thunder Blade, stepped into her chain of traps, it would mean... an endless series of Quicken reactions would occur on his body.
And the Traveler only needed to use the paralysis effect brought by the Quicken reaction to directly subdue Yuto.
But... she seemed to have overlooked one thing.
—Yuto's attack this time was not a slash like before, but that Thunder Blade.
Just as he was still one or two meters from the trap's trigger distance, Yuto suddenly stopped, and then unleashed a Thunder Blade.
Buzz—
Accompanied by a sonic boom, a crescent blade shimmering with purple light rushed towards the Traveler's direction.
As if sensing the surging water element power, the 'traps' that had been lurking underground were also triggered at this moment.
Puff, puff, puff, puff, puff—
Spiked green vines instantly grew out from underground, as if to bind someone.
But the sharpness of the Thunder Blade would not tolerate these plants.
The fierce wind caused by its high-speed flight instantly severed them upon contact with the vines, and the high concentration of elemental power carried by the Thunder Blade then utterly blasted them into ashes.
Bang—
Due to the extremely high flight speed of that Thunder Blade, even though the Traveler promptly summoned a Geo construct to block it... it was still useless.
In terms of elemental concentration and operational skill... Yuto had far surpassed the Traveler.
Unless the Traveler simultaneously used two or more elemental powers to create spontaneous reactions and fight him, otherwise... no matter how she fought, she would lose.
Yuto slowly walked forward, picked up a vine from the ground that had not been completely charred by the Thunder Blade, and a look of understanding appeared on his face.
"So that's how it is..."
"Since you've already used a second element, then... for the sake of fairness, I'll have to use my other power as well."
Yuto's expression was incredibly calm, as if everything that had just happened had no effect on him.
He looked at Lumine, who was struggling to get up from the ground, shook his head slightly, and then snapped his fingers.
Snap—
With a crisp sound, a purplish-black light began to radiate wantonly from him as its origin.
However... as the Law Enforcement Agency's first public appearance, it was enough!
In just the blink of an eye, the purplish-black light that had filled the entire barrier instantly vanished, replaced by... the simple yet not simple robe on Yuto's body.
And the ceremonial sword he held in his hand was now completely stained with a dark red hue.
These colors, like oxidized bloodstains... added an extra layer of imposing aura to the Law Enforcement Agency, which already possessed a strong sense of oppression.
It was unclear whether it was due to Surtalogi's influence or because he had donned the Law Enforcement Agency, but Yuto's pure sea-blue eyes were tinged with a purplish-black hue.
His originally serene eyes now held an added sense of mystery, as if he were a mysterious and powerful arcanist.
Meanwhile, Lumine was struggling to get up from the ground, while looking up at Yuto, whose feet were slightly off the ground, a hint of surprise in her eyes.
She could have imagined that Yuto had hidden abilities, but...
"Why do I feel an aura from Yuto that is of the same origin as the "Evil King Armament"?"
"Could it be... that he has some connection with the Vanguard?"
However, before Lumine could continue to ponder, a massive purplish-black spear slowly materialized in Yuto's hand.
"Traveler... you should repent for what you have done."
"Having traveled through four nations, you should understand... what the unspeakable information from the God truly represents."
"With the help of your friends, you've overcome one difficulty after another, which has gradually made you arrogant, even believing that you can bear the consequences of an act of transgression..."
As he spoke, the oppressive, massive purplish-black spear in Yuto's hand had already taken shape.
"Traveler! You must repent!"
As Yuto's voice, like a grand bell, echoed in Lumine's ears, the massive purplish-black spear was instantly thrown by him.
Looking at the purplish-black spear rapidly thrusting towards her, Lumine suddenly felt a pang of fear.
Her consciousness told her that she could not take Yuto's blow head-on; if she were hit by this spear... the consequences would be unimaginable.
Although she would not die from this spear, she would lose some combat power, which would leave her with no chance of winning in the subsequent duel.
She couldn't lose now; The Prophecy had not yet been finalized, and if she lost now...
