My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2440

Marino pushed the enhancement of her sword to the extreme, sacrificing the effect of a wide attack.

His sword transformed into a colossal blade that reached for the sky. Though the words might be an exaggeration, the nearly five-meter-long sword was certainly not something an ordinary person could wield.

Marino knew he had to bet everything on this strike.

"I will win," he muttered to himself.

Seeing this, Teresa decided not to hold back any longer.

"Endless Cavalry Charge!" she cried.

In an instant, half of the arena was engulfed in the energy of her cavalry. She was not sure if she could withstand Marino's attack, but she had no choice but to try.

Marino's colossal sword descended, and Teresa's cavalry charged forward in a swift counter-attack.

A brilliant white light flashed, filling the arena with intense energy. Even the spectators were affected.

"Teresa!" Her three friends called out in concern.

When the smoke finally cleared, both Teresa and Marino were lying on the ground.

The audience watched intently, waiting for the outcome. Finally, Marino managed to stand up.

"The winner of the second match is Marino Hansel," the referee announced.

Teresa lay on the ground, gazing up at the bright sun. She suddenly smiled, feeling a sense of release.

What had she done? She had told herself she was just here to participate casually, but she suddenly took things seriously.

"Hehe, sorry about that." Teresa scratched her head awkwardly.

Marino waved it off with a smile. "It's okay, I'm used to it. Anyway, thanks. This time, I was just lucky."

Teresa nodded, standing up. "Well then, good luck moving forward."

With that, Teresa hobbled toward the exit. Anox and Kalo quickly rushed over to help her, lifting her up to carry her out.

"Hey, I can walk on my own, you know," Teresa protested.

"Don't push yourself. Let's get you to the medical room first!" Kalo insisted.

Watching Teresa surrounded by her supportive friends, Marino could not help but feel a pang of envy.
