Gorgeous Jewel
Chapter II Chapter 57

Cliff twirled the spear in his hand and then he smashed it into the ground.

Alice glanced at the spear intently.she felt something different from her, not only the pressure of her aura but there was something in her that said that the weapon was extremely dangerous.

Lilia herself was still thinking about that familiar-feeling spear. He continued to trace his memories and finally he knew what kind of spear Cliff was holding at the moment.

"Gungnirs.. That gun..." Lilia was shocked, she was at a loss for words when she learned the history of the weapon. Although it is just a legendary myth from life thousands of years ago but he did not expect that Gungnir really existed and was present in front of him.

The Spear of Gungnir is actually one of the many legendary weapons belonging to the first hero in Aria. In the legend of the locals, Gungnir is a spear used by heroes against the Demon King. It is said that the weapon was able to penetrate the eight hydra heads and make it lose its ability to regenerate.

Hydra itself is a giant monster that almost looks like a snake and has nine heads. At that time, after the Hero had finished off the eight Hydra heads, he left one head and sealed it in a place along with the spear. The hydra body that was known to be immortal and had incredible regeneration abilities was finally restrained by the power of that spear. Such is the story of the book and the people in the northern region.

Back to Alice's fight. Cliff suddenly disappeared from his place, in an instant he had been in the air above Alice's head. With all his might, Cliff pointed the tip of his spear down and wanted to hit Alice. Alice immediately jumped backwards quite a distance. The explosive power of the spear was not messing around strongly.

Cliff once again moved very fast and had stood behind Alice, as if he was moving like a light. But, for the second time his attack failed. As if Alice could see the future, she fended off the Cliff's attack that was aimed at her back with her sword without looking back.

Alice turned her body while swinging her sword towards Cliff's neck. Cliff dodged, he then swung his spear from above, Alice held him back.

The sound of swords and spears clashing against each other so loudly rang out in the room, even the explosion of air from the impact of the two made Lilia think twice if she should go in there.

The two then collided forces, the weapons swiped at each other and they pushed each other. Alice and Cliff stared at each other with a sense of wanting to take down their opponent.

"I didn't expect a young girl like you to be able to withstand this god's spear." Cliff looked calm.

Alice smiled cynically "And I didn't expect your weak thin body to be much stronger than I thought."

Cliff was offended, the veins in his temple stiffened. He felt his body was normal, not thin not fat. His selfish and stubborn nature makes him feel better than others until finally he is very unacceptable when someone criticizes him especially about his appearance which he is quite proud of.

The two of them pushed each other firmly and were thrown backwards, their feet dragged on the floor. It only took a few seconds, they again jumped forward and attacked each other.

Lilia's eyes could not keep up with their movements, their fight was far above her level. Lilia Clasped her hand tightly, however she had to tell Alice about the spear. Lilia shouted from her place. "Alice! That Gungnir spear is a weapon that has its own consciousness."

Alice turned her head towards Lilia, she then left her shadow in front of Cliff and stood beside Lilia. "Gungnirs? Weapons that have consciousness?"

Lilia without turning her head and did not release her eyes from Cliff replied Alice. "I'm not sure if it really is the real Gungnir or just a replica but, the holy power that the spear emits is very strong. According to legend, Gungnir was sealed somewhere and only a chosen one could wear it. I can't believe Cliff has those qualifications." Lilia turned her head and saw Alice a little worried. "If indeed the spear was a replica and managed to copy the power of the original spear. I'm sure there are limits to using it. After all, Gungnir had a weapon that had its own consciousness and he had chosen his master the Hero thousands of years ago."

Lilia turned around and placed both her hands on Alice's shoulders. "I believe you can definitely beat Cliff but, please be careful." He said as he closed his eyes.

The two girls turned their heads when they heard Cliff, and then looked back at each other. "As long as Lilia helps me, I will definitely be fine." Alice smiled, showing a little bit of her teeth.

Alice turned around, she walked towards Cliff while sheathing her sword. "This time I won't hesitate." Mumbled.

Alice stopped, she took her sword and she placed it in front of her chest, the same position she was fighting the two demons.

[Black! The One Thousand Plum Petals First Form]

A terrifying Qi pressure exploded from him into the entire room. Beautiful pink flower petals filled the place. Cliff was surprised, he was astonished by the magic that Alice used. What kind of magic is this? Cliff glanced around, he had been surrounded by thousands of petals. Cliff clasped his spear getting stronger and alert.

Meanwhile Lilia was dumbfounded, she was amazed by the beauty that was before her eyes. Her mouth opened and closed again as she saw Alice standing in front of her. So serene.

"The spoiled girl who always made those problems ended up growing up as well." Inwardly, Lilia smiled softly, she was happy to see the current Alice but she was worried that one day, the figure of Alice who she thought was like her own sister suddenly disappeared and moved away from her. Not because of hatred or so, Lilia felt that Alice who is currently very mature even, because of that nature Lilia did not want Alice to bear heavy responsibilities because of her strength.

After measuring the ability and combat power of his opponent. Alice finally got more serious. Alice looked at Cliff with a sharp look.

Cliff's hair stood up for a moment. " So that was..what?" His inner.

[Plum Blossom Sword Technique, Eighth Style Petals Dance ]

Alice who vanished from her place made Cliff even more vigilant. Her ears were like looking for Alice's whereabouts but nil, even her instincts could not sense where Alice was currently. And suddenly something scratched his cheek. "Ugh" Cliff stroked his wound and saw the blood on his hand. His eyes could not believe he was hurt.

Once again, Alice's attack came on suddenly. Cliff dodged by jumping backwards, he was shocked when he saw the floor where he stood scratched by something.

[Plum Blossom Sword Technique, Seventh Style 21 Combo Shadow Sword]

This time Alice appeared before him. Seeing Alice bowing and putting her hands together in her scabbard and sword hilt, Cliff knew that Alice was going to slash her. Cliff held back Alice's first slash but he gasped. He did not expect his strength to be so strong and "What the hell? Obviously I saw him slash at me once but I felt he swung his sword twice."

There was no time to think any longer, Alice again attacked him. Cliff cornered. He could not figure out the technique Alice was using.

The moment the first strike earlier, he felt the fending off of the two sword swings and the moment the second attack came, he felt the fending off of the three sword swings. Cliff bled his tongue out, he didn't want to hold on. Cliff then stabbed Alice but unfortunately, he was fooled because what he attacked was just a shadow made of flower petals.

21 Alice's Shadow Sword combo is unfinished. Alice again appeared from an unexpected direction and attacked Cliff in succession.
