Chapter 2620: Sixth Fight: Kendrick vs. Hollie!
In the blink of an eye, the days until Hollie and Kendrick faced each other had passed, and the time had come for the two most promising siblings in the family to face each other.
Once again, the entire family and at least half of the Minos faction were present in the arena where the previous matches had taken place.
The family's three newborn dragons sat beside Lily and Minos, while the faction's new Supremes, Ama and Gan, were in position, sitting close to their master.
Minos had Ruth, Gloria, and Abby by his side, looking with interest in the direction Hollie and Kendrick were now facing.
Grisdi sat next to her husband's dragon, Odys, while the giants Wovar and Clexvog, currently at level 114, sat next to Rhett—currently at level 111.
"Good luck to you both in this battle. Whoever wins, remember that this is just a friendly match, and you must work together for the future of the family. The winner today will receive my Hydras' Amulet, but the loser will have the chance to receive valuable artifacts in the future." With these words, Minos sealed their cultivation at a level slightly below Hollie's, ensuring that the fight wouldn't be fatally dangerous for either of them.
Feeling their strength stabilizing at the same level, the two looked at each other, both with their guards up, ready for their father's signal.
"Begin!" Minos said with a smile on his face, while the over 100 spectators remained silent, eager to see who of the two was stronger on the same level.
Kendrick was definitely stronger than Hollie, as he had two levels more than her and the same innate ability. Although their innate abilities weren't 100% identical, they were similar enough that it wouldn't be enough to tip the balance between them. Therefore, his higher level of cultivation was what would unbalance a 100% proper battle between them.
But in this fight, Kendrick and Hollie were at the same level. The moment one of them tried to act against the other to steal the other's cultivation, they both felt strong restrictions in their way.
To the surprise of some, Hollie's level fluctuated positively, becoming 3% stronger, while Kendrick lost the same proportion!
'She really is the most like Minos of all.' Abby noticed this, along with her harem sisters.
But an improvement of only 3% wasn't enough to give Hollie a significant advantage. Kendrick wasn't fazed by losing that fraction of his cultivation and used his innate ability to attack Hollie through various portals at the edge of the platform.
With a beautiful smile on her face, Hollie used her divine ability together with Kendrick and quickly connected to her brother's aura, while invisible parasites sucked his vitality.
As Hollie felt Kendrick's life force fall under her control, she became stronger, more agile, faster, and more resilient. Sensing the attack forming in one of those little portals, she moved, dodging one of the Spatial Sword's blades while countering in another way.
Kendrick felt the power of Chaotic Gravity and wasn't foolish enough to counter with the same move. He was a bit weaker than Hollie, and she was stealing his vitality. He would surely lose if he used the same move!
With a quick movement of his energies and the laws, he put his two arms over his body, forming a black hole while protecting himself from Chaotic Gravity.
"Tsk! I can do that too!" Hollie shouted at Kendrick as she moved her hands and created several small black holes around her, threatening to swallow the region of space her brother was using.
Then, as he felt his black hole being torn apart by Hollie's black holes, Kendrick clenched his fists and punched the air in front of him.
Indestructible Body!
His fist pierced through space, passing through a portal that had just opened right behind Hollie.
She looked back as she felt a shiver run down her spine, just before she moved her body to the side and prepared to receive her brother's attack.
Kendrick let his black hole be destroyed by her black holes, casting a paralyzing glare at her. Infinite Dream!
Hollie barely trembled under her brother's two attacks, this time destroying her brother's mental attack with an identical one.
He paled as he broke out in a cold sweat, momentarily finding himself in a realm of infinite black chains, as his limbs were quickly chained together, giving him no chance to move.
He felt himself standing in the position where he had hit Hollie, and then saw her appear in front of him, one of her hands pointing up, threatening to smash something.
When Hollie moved her fingers a little, Kendrick felt a squeeze in his heart, sensing that his sister's right hand had his heart at her disposal.
Hollie laughed as she stepped back, and a moment later saw her brother come back to reality as a sword of spiritual energy appeared in his hands.
"You almost beat me," he said in a breathless tone, having almost fallen for the illusion created by her mental attack.
"Your mind is truly strong, older brother. If you weren't limited by father, this victory would be yours. But I will win."
With these words, Hollie formed her supreme weapon, a different weapon from Minos' and Kendrick's, something shaped like a whip.
Unfortunately for Kendrick, the special whip in Hollie's hands had the same properties as her divine ability. It could wound the enemy's vitality and enhancing the user's movements. Meanwhile, his sword had the special power to destroy domains, which was truly useless against an opponent who didn't use domains to their advantage.
If Kendrick had an enormous advantage against Gloria, he had no advantage at all against Hollie. All the advantages in this fight were on the side of Minos' youngest daughter!
"It looks like this match is about to be decided." Ruth felt the tension at the last moment of this battle as the siblings attacked each other with their supreme weapons.
Minos felt the same as he saw glimpses of the future and the winner of the last match of this tournament.
At that moment, the two siblings ran at each other, with Kendrick sending dozens of blade attacks at Hollie, while she sent several whips similar to her own at her brother's five limbs.
Gloria and Lily watched as their tough opponents, who didn't make their fights any easier for them, finished this match.
Even with powerful abilities and a lot of creativity in how she used her powers, Kendrick couldn't overcome his younger sister. Limited to the same level as her, he was bound to lose!
In this match, Hollie would prove to be the victor, the rightful heir to the Hydras' Amulet!
