Andres and Abad
Inori's answer made the expressions of Yasen and other Saint Realm expert solemn.
They hoped that Inori would choose to give up, so that everyone would be happy and there would be no conflict between the Saint Domain, but obviously things didn't go as planned.
Patur glared at Inori: "Inori, do you know what you're saying?"
Inori's expression was calm. Once she made the decision, she stopped worrying and felt relieved.
She looked directly at Patur and said, "I am more suited to be king Gallo. I will be Queen Oga!"
"You!"
Patur's expression was ferocious, as if he was about to lose control of his anger, and he took a step forward.
Seeing this, Abad reached out and grabbed Patur's shoulder to stop him, saying in a deep voice, "Patur, don't lose your composure!"
Patur's expression shifted several times, but he ultimately held back.
Andres turned around, stood in front of Inori, and looked at the crowd.
"Inori has already stated her opinion; the rest is up to us, the Saint Domain, to decide."
Yasen looked around at everyone and said, "What are your opinions? Please speak up."
Yasen is the strongest among the Human Race, and he usually waits until the very end to make a decision.
"I support Gallo," Patur said coldly.
"Me too," Abad said.
"I support Inori," Andres said with a faint smile.
"This..."
The other Human Saint Realm hesitated, looking at each other.
They didn't care who King Oga was.
Before today, they would definitely have chosen to support Abad, after all, Andres had only been Saint Domain for a few years and was relatively inexperienced, while Abad was the second strongest Human Race after Yasen.
But after Andres demonstrated his strength in the battle against Teresa today, Andres's status in the Human Saint Realm has been greatly enhanced, and the other Saint Domain do not want to offend either side.
"I don't care who becomes King Oga, I won't get involved in this matter," Saint Domain said.
Immediately afterwards, the other Saint Domain echoed this sentiment.
"Yes, I won't participate either."
"Me too."
In the end, only Andres, Abad, and Patur expressed their opinions, while the other Saint Realm expert chose to remain neutral.
Yasen said, "In that case, let's do it the old way."
The old rule was established many years ago by Yasen in order to ease the internal conflicts within the Human Saint Realm.
Where there are people, there will be conflicts, and even the Saint Domain with its infinite lifespan is no exception.
When irreconcilable conflicts and disagreements arise between the Human Saint Realm, the two sides will fight a battle under the witness of Yasen, and the winner will have the final say.
Andres was familiar with this rule, having heard Trevor mention it before.
"Alright, Andres, let's have a fight," Abad said.
"Sure." Andres naturally had no objections.
"Lord Abad, I'm entrusting this to you," Patur said.
He knew he was no match for Andres and could only rely on Abad.
But he has faith in Abad.
"Andres is only close to the second level of the Saint Domain, while Lord Abad is a true second level Saint Domain expert with incredibly rich combat experience. There's no way he could lose!"
On the other side, Inori was also very nervous, but when she saw that the other Saint Realm expert had chosen to remain neutral, she realized that Andres's status in the Saint Domain was higher than she had imagined.
This gave her hope and made her feel grateful for her choice.
"Andres, can you win?" she asked in a low voice, standing behind Andres.
"We can win!" Andres said confidently.
He took to the air.
Abad also took to the air at the same time.
The others looked up below, discussing the outcome of the battle, with most of the Saint Domain favoring Abad.
Yasen flew into the air and prepared a short distance away from the two.
He needed to be on guard against the two of them getting out of control.
The battle is about victory or defeat, but not about life or death; he is in charge of finding the right balance.
If Yasen discovers that there is a possibility of casualties in the battle, he will intervene.
This is also why the battle must be conducted under his witness.
He set this rule to resolve the differences between the Human Saint Realm without affecting the Human Race's strength.
He was unwilling to accept the possibility that the Human Saint Realm would perish in the battle.
In mid-air, Andres and Abad each drew their weapons.
Abad's weapon is a red greatsword.
Looking at Abad before him, Andres a pang of emotion.
Eight years ago, when he first arrived at the Holy Alliance, he happened to see Abad and Yasen sparring. Now, Abad's opponent has become him.
"Andres, watch out, I won't hold back!" Abad said in a deep voice.
"Come on." Andres swung his soft sword, which taut with his Battle Qi.
Intense flames erupted from Abad's body, engulfing Abad like a giant fireball.
"Drink!"
Abad shouted, and the fireball hurtled towards Andres like a meteorite!
"Call!"
Andres also moved. In mid-air, more than twenty figures of Andres appeared instantly.
Abad is different from the present-day Teresa.
Against Teresa, Andres can still handle the situation with ease while conserving his strength, but if his opponent is Abad, he might lose if he dares to be overconfident.
So when he made his move, he unleashed 80% of the profound Profound Mystery of "speed" that he had currently grasped.
When Yasen saw this, his eyes lit up. "This kid didn't even use his full strength when he fought Teresa."
As they were both trying to grasp the Profound Mystery of "speed," Yasen could certainly see the extent to which Andres had comprehended Profound Mystery.
Andres now possesses the strength of the second level of the Saint Domain.
A crisp sword clatter rang out in the air as more than twenty Andres launched simultaneous attacks on Abad from different directions.
Abad appeared calm as more than twenty lines of fire suddenly shot out from the fireball.
"Pfft"
The line of fire instantly passed through the figures of more than twenty Andres.
All Andres vanished as afterimages.
The real Andres had already appeared behind Abad, his soft sword piercing into the fireball.
"Bite"
The sound of metal clashing rang out. Abad seemed to have been waiting for Andres all along, and he blocked Andres's attack with his greatsword.
This powerful, charged sword strike sent Andres flying.
Andres flew back more than ten meters before regaining his footing, and his expression became serious.
The same move that easily defeated Teresa didn't work on Abad.
"I am no stranger to the Profound Mystery of Speed," Abad said calmly.
The people below were not surprised to see Abad defeat Andres.
"Good!"
Patur was even more excited.
"Haha, Lord Abad has sparred with Lord Yasen countless times. He is more skilled than anyone else at dealing with the Profound Mystery of Speed. Andres wants to win? Dream on!"
He coldly watched Inori not far away, and began to plan what would happen after this battle.
"Once Andres is defeated, we'll find a way to deal with this Inori. How dare she have designs on the throne? She's been hiding it so well. With such ambition and cunning, she must not be allowed to live!"
