As soon as the announcement came, everyone perked up as they heard the name of the one who defeated Alexander.

To be honest, many of them weren't satisfied with Vincent's victory. It was too abrupt and they felt that Alexander could still continue in that battle.

The others also thought that Alexander just let down his guard since his opponent was blind. They think that if they get a rematch, there was no way Vincent could win against Alexander.

This is why there weren't a lot of people who cheered for Vincent after his win. Most of them just felt curious about his identity and the Soul-Forged Weapon that he used against Alexander's Pseudo-Legendary Gauntlet.

Now, with the upcoming battle against Elena, they believe that they will be able to see whether he's really strong or it was just a stroke of luck.

After all, Elena should've seen how Vincent won against Alexander and there was no way she would allow herself to be defeated in the same way.

"Hmm? So you have another weapon? Interesting…" Elena muttered after seeing Vincent come up to the stage.

During his battle against Alexander, he showed the wooden staff and the black mithril sword to everyone. He also showed his Perfected Surging Palm Strike that tells them that he's indeed a decent close combat blind practitioner.

Vincent smiled as he held his Astral Night Dagger in his right hand.

'It seems that she didn't watch my match against Wesley.'

"That's right. Will you be using your Mana Bullets again?" Vincent asked as he arrived at the center of the stage without using his cane.

"I will. You have to be careful. They're fast. I can't cancel them when they're shot." Elena warned as she glanced at Vincent's figure. She can actually tell that he seems to be wearing a very thin scale armor inside his robe thanks to her Mystic Eye's ability. She's sure that he wasn't wearing this during his fight against Alexander.

Nevertheless, she didn't think too much of it as she took a deep breath.

Elena has long braided black hair and a slim figure. Her voice sounded a little rough for a young lady but she certainly has a charming demeanor.

She has tanned skin covered by a loose Magician Robe that doesn't appear to be too extravagant. Nevertheless, Vincent can tell that even though she has a slim figure, she has definitely trained her body to a certain degree as he could feel so much vitality from her.

Vincent smiled at her warning as he waited for the referee to announce the battle.

'I guess I have to defeat her while she's not taking me seriously yet.' He thought.

The female referee then spoke of the rules of the duel before announcing the start of the battle.

Whoosh~

A Mana Bullet immediately manifested in front of Elena and shot toward Vincent.

The casting time and shooting speed didn't even take two seconds as it happened without her raising her hands at all! She didn't do this prior to this battle!

In her previous matches, she would always raise her hands to cast these Mana Bullets! Everyone thought that she needed this form of concentration or habit to create the Mana Bullets.

However, she had fooled everyone as she cast it while standing idly!

'Well… It doesn't really matter to me…' Vincent thought. For him who is considered a blind person, he wasn't relying on his opponents' gestures in casting at all. What's important to him is that he could feel the Mana Fluctuations very clearly.

This is one of the gifts he received after the blond goddess gouges his eyes after all.

His Mana Sensitivity allows him to feel the ripples of magic phenomena happening around him.

With that said, Vincent remained unmoving.

He didn't raise his guard or created a Mana Shield.

The audience who were mostly focused on this stage couldn't help but raise their brows questioning Vincent's decision to endure the attack.

It was dumb.

Elena had defeated several opponents after getting hit by these Mana Bullets. If Vincent got hit even once, though he won't be lying unconscious immediately, he would still be affected and the next Mana Bullets will be very difficult to dodge.

Once it accumulated, he would have no choice but to surrender or fight until he was knocked out.

Vincent wasn't like Nadia who has to Advanced Movement Techniques that could dodge these Mana Bullets…

So he should at least defend with all his might! This is what everyone thought.

Nevertheless, what happened next made them surprised. They even thought that Elena was going easy against him…

Bam!

The Mana Bullet hit Vincent's Nightbane Robe but aside from it crumpling the part where it hit, nothing else happened.

Vincent didn't step back or even show signs of being inflicted with pain.

'Hmm… It's only a numbing sensation, huh… I can endure it.' Vincent thought after getting hit.

Obviously, this is the Nightbane Robe's attribute.

Magic Resistance: 100

It wasn't just that, he's also wearing the Source Cube's Protective Suit Mode!

Although it was only partially activated, it is still consuming the same amount of Pseudo-Celestial Energy!

It is consuming 100 Pseudo-Celestial Energy units per 3 minutes! Based on his calculation, Vincent has to finish this battle within 6 minutes or so!

It's not easy to recover his Pseudo-Celestial Energy after all. Although he has plenty of enhanced potions, those +9 or +10 potions would seem like a waste since they weren't helping that much any longer.

Anyway, this is Vincent's final defense in case the Mana Bullets have a stronger penetration power than he thought.

Elena wasn't shaken by Vincent's actions, instead, she continued casting her Mana Bullets as she believes that it is still powerful and felt that Vincent can't endure it forever… She knows this very well since she had been sparring against Alexander as well and that man could also endure ten or so of her Mana Bullets before realizing his mistake.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Three more bullets hit Vincent's robe as the latter got closer with his dagger aiming to slice her abdomen.

Elena only smirked as she moved away using a Tier 1 Movement Technique like Vincent. This was what she has done in every other match… However, to her surprise, the dagger was actually thrown at her and it even followed her movements!
