Xia Xi had thought his opponent would unleash some new offensive spell.
Instead, to his surprise, he summoned a whole bunch of miniature Domas.
And...
Every little Doma actually had quite a decent stat panel.
Even the one with the lowest energy level had an energy level of [730]...
And that was only because its panel lacked the [Mind] attribute, bringing down its total.
Otherwise, its numbers might even have been higher than Doma's own.
At the edge of this mountain, which was gradually freezing over in the cold.
As Xia Xi destroyed the little ice puppets one by one, he rapidly assessed Upper Rank Two Doma's strength in his mind.
When Doma had first fought Kanae.
The Challenge Level he displayed had only been around 10 to 12.
That more or less matched the numbers on his panel.
But factoring in his Blood Demon Art, which countered swordsmen, his actual Challenge Level had to be at least 16.
After all, other people had no way to do what Xia Xi did.
They could not directly use Supreme Territory to [neutralize] his invisible ice mist.
And inhaling even a little would severely inhibit a swordsman's Breathing Style.
It could even freeze their lungs, leaving them unable to breathe normally.
And once they lost the boost from their Breathing Style.
The battle's outcome was essentially decided.
And when Doma started seriously using his various ice-creation Blood Demon Arts... especially after he effortlessly created multiple offshoots like these [Little Cells].
His Challenge Level climbed a little higher still.
Probably... around 20.
With that kind of strength, he could certainly suppress Akaza for a short while.
But Xia Xi kept feeling...
"Those alone aren't enough to keep your seat as Upper Rank Two safe from that little redhead."
Xia Xi looked at Doma
