'Her stats are quite high for a level 4' remarked Alex.

Besides his own and now Amelia's, he had never seen a Level 4 stat. Despite that, he was still certain that Amelia's stats surpassed the typical Level 4. Even now, his stats were just slightly above hers, except for stamina, which was surprising since he used soul points to enhance his attributes.

'As for her abilities... What kind of names are those? Was she the one to choose them?' wondered Alex.

'Well, they might be bad names, but at least you directly understand what they do.'

'Show me the description of cell Master and Residual blast' asked Alex.

The system screen changed and the description of the abilities appeared before Alex.

[Cell Master: allows the user to control the cell of others organisms]

The description of the Cell Master ability was straightforward, but what it does was, quite frankly, extraordinary.

For example, one of it many uses is the healing power of Amelia. When she heals someone, in fact, she uses her ability to repair and regenerate damaged cells.

When she uses her ability, Amelia analyzes and corrects faulty cells, stimulates natural healing processes, and, if necessary, is even capable of going beyond enhancing natural healing.

'And this is just one of its many uses; this ability is really a cheat,'thought Alex with a chuckle.

Just when he wanted to move to Amelia's third ability, the fight between Amelia and Ector finally started, causing him to dismiss the screen of the system, knowing that this kind of fight never lasted a long time.

Ector was the first to make his move by activating his ability that, which allowed him to manipulate the sand.

A large amount of sand began to materialize just behind him. The sand then divided into many parts, quickly shaping themselves into dagger forms, forming a large array of at least a hundred daggers!

Without wasting a second, he hurled those daggers towards Amelia. He had already warned her that she might get hurt badly. If she didn't take his warning seriously, then it was her problem.

Seeing these countless sharp daggers coming her way, Amelia didn't panic. Instead, she took out a few grains from her space ring, threw them on the ground, and utilized her plant manipulation ability.

The grains inserted into the ground, and a split second later, large green vines emerged from the ground, wrapping themselves around Amelia like a cocoon to shield her from the daggers.

As the daggers made contact with the shield of vines, to everyone's surprise, they didn't pass through. In fact, after the initial barrage of daggers, some parts of the vine shield detached themselves from the cocoon and began blasting away the remaining daggers as if they were mere flies.

"Your shield of plants is a good defense, but how much time will it take for it to cave in?" questioned Ector as he continued sending waves after waves of sand daggers.

As he mentioned, soon, one could see that the shield of vines became thinner, indicating that if things continued in that manner, Amelia would soon be exposed.

This thought didn't even have time to sprout in people's minds when they saw Ector suddenly stop attacking and leap into the air.

A second later, vines with thorns and pink flowers on them emerged from the ground at the exact location where Ector stood just a second ago.

'Fortunately, I sensed them before they emerged. If not, God only knows in what kind of state I might be in at this moment,' thought Ector as he observed the sharp ends of the vines.

However, his relief quickly transformed into wariness when he saw the flowers on the vines start to open themselves. A second later, after they bloomed, the flowers released a purple and ominous mist.

'It's poison!' inwardly exclaimed Ector the moment he saw the mist.

He didn't know what kind of poison it was and, quite frankly, did not want to know. That's why, the moment the mist appeared, he created a literal sand tornado.

The tornado swept away the poison mist and even charred the vines while directing itself toward Amelia's cocoon of plants.

"We will see how much time your plant protection would last," smirked Ector.

However, at that moment, something unexpected happened. The plants forming the cocoon separated themselves, revealing Amelia standing with a raised finger.

"What is she plotting now?" wondered Ector with a wary expression.

He didn't need to ponder more, as under his observing eyes, particles started to swirl around her finger.

Quickly, the particles turned into a round sphere, barely the size of a tennis ball. The sphere seemed to be divided into two parts, with one part being green and the other part being orange.

"It's the end" said calmly Alex the moment he saw the small sphere appear on Amelia's finger.

The others didn't even have time to ask him why he said that when Amelia hurled the sphere at Ector while she herself dodged the sand tornado.

With the sphere coming toward him while he was still in the air, Ector had two choices before him. The first was to maintain his control over the sand tornado and chase after Amelia, or concentrate on dodging the sphere that was coming straight at him.

'Let's dodge. I feel like this orb is dangerous,' thought Ector as he decided to dodge; he could later retake control of the sand tornado anyway.

"Not so fast, you're not going anywhere," said Amelia with a snicker as she snapped her fingers.

BOOM

The moment Amelia snapped her fingers, everyone was surprised to witness a deafening explosion in the arena.

What stunned them even more was to see that this explosion didn't release smoke, but instead, a burst of sand fragments imbued with vibrant, swirling energies. The mix created a powerful combo, tearing through everything in its path with devastating effects.

The explosion lasted for at least ten seconds before subsiding.

When it finally stopped, and people looked to try and find in what kind of state Ector was, they were shocked to find that there was no one.

There was just a large crater, and no Ector was in sight anywhere in the arena.

"What the..."
