The world got white on Anda’s side as the thudding footsteps approached.
Lucas touched Anda’s head and passed. Anda gasped as she was waiting for a blow and even braced for impact, her mind thinking that Lucas was going to blast her away.
Unfortunately, he passed next to the kneeling and shaking Anda, who lost her strength due to fear. Her body slowly went down as the hand landed on her head and took off.
The gasps were scattered, since they expected Lucas’s temper to rise and blast Anda away like a tennis ball; unfortunately, he was calm and cool as he slowly scared her almost to death and exhausted her with a twist that wasn’t expected.
Lucas was announced victorious as he slowly moved out of the arena with his lazy-looking eyes glaring at the road, with emotions at a low level as he thought of the upcoming match.
"I wonder who will be next. Haaaa, I’m tired; this event should have taken maybe two days in order to rest." Lucas blabbered to himself with no one listening to him since the thundering and growling noise prevailed at the arena after seeing the power of the physical anger.
The noise faded, getting the last match announced. Olivia from class C with Taro from class A, two magic types, were up next.
Water from Taro and earth from Olivia.
The two got in the stage and got ready for the bell that banged shortly after they prepared for the fight.
The fight erupted; on the other side, the noise faded as orbs observed the fight.
The two fighters had their sneers glowing on their faces as they pictured victory for themselves in their minds.
"Ready to get kicked, Taro?" Olivia asked with a sneer on her face, yet calmly. Her eyes were filled with tension, but mischief overpowered her look.
Taro, in response, proved to be not interested in talking, saving his voice for his spellcasting, but he replied, with his mood low, only starving for a fight that Olivia was delaying with her story mode.
"Prove how you can kick me, or should I prove a point I never invented?"
"Ohh, guess who’s cocky. Sure, why not? I’ll kick that butt until you call for your slow mother." Olivia’s mockery appealed in front of the admiration.
"Yeah, sure, she’s old, and her speed can be low. As for me, I wonder if your crawling mother will be here on time before I freeze you forever." Taro returned the mockery back to Olivia multiplied.
"Wow, what an amazing dream you had; it deserves a hand clap!" Instantly, two big rock hands came from the left and right of Taro’s as they approached for a clap.
Lucky for Taro, he managed to jump upwards and barely managed to dodge the thumb of the rock hand.
"Wow, what a clap; it was really energizing. I’d love to...." A boulder landed from the sky and almost crashed into Taro, but luck stood beside him and protected him.
Taro thought of tackling since he was neutral and didn’t unleash any attack. Five iced blades sliced the air, heading towards Olivia. A sudden hush gasp escaped her lips as she saw multiple blades covering the whole radius, pointing at her sole.
Suddenly, she made use of her magic type and created a shield that protected her.
"That was quite an atta..." She said as she removed the barrier. She thought of attacking; unfortunately, that shield was her everything, but it was already gone since she was ready to attack, not to defend.
A ray of a sting appeared in her left arm; when she touched it, her hand got red. She was cut by Taro’s iced blades that she didn’t spot since she was caught up in praising Taro for his first immersive attack.
"Spinning icy wheel!" A spell was chanted, ready to attack. The round wheel was like a blade since it had some saw-like teeth on the edges. It looked sharp and soul-splitting.
He threw it straight at Olivia, who responded with a shield that got instantly cut in half, making it harsh for Olivia to breathe since her life was endangered as the wheel spun like a fortune wheel towards her.
’I’m just a fool, watching the threat approach me without any movement. I’m totally dumb,’ she thought, while her eyes opened wider.
A swift idea approached her mind, and suddenly, she dodged the attack when it was less than two meters away from her neck. She then went to the right and swiftly charged towards Taro.
She made a rain of boulders while Taro froze all the water in the nearest places and sent an army of small little blades like mosquitoes.
Taro found a way to dodge the stones coming from the top, falling like rain. Olivia created a shelter for herself and hid underneath as her elbows bled, her legs bleeding too, since she was wearing short pants.
’Is he nuts? These things are painful. Is he trying to kill me? I’m still human too.’ Olivia muttered under her breath. Suddenly, she gulped, her throat too small for saliva to go through.
An icy spear was shot at her shelter as it pierced through the rock shelter and almost went with her left ear.
The weapon melted, making some poisonous and smelly water. The mixture of jimsonweed and water made it poisonous to touch or breathe in, forcing Olivia out of her shelter.
"Grrr, you! I’m going to finish you!" ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel⸺fire.net
Olivia set an earthquake on the ground, getting Taro off balance, and he fell on his back; suddenly, a sharp spike popped up from the ground.
The sharp object pierced his right thigh, creating a lake of blood next to the wound.
Taro screamed, but the stone punches that were sent by Olivia didn’t give him a chance to make that noise.
Only the mumbling got the chance to escape those bloodied lips. His teeth were hidden as their white color disappeared into red as his mouth was flooded with blood after getting hit by stones in the face. He splattered blood on the ground, followed by a tooth, making a soft drop into the lake of blood.
Angrily, Olivia created a big boulder that landed on top of the sitting Taro, who had no energy to even stand up.
Boom, the rock landed, and the ’haaaaaaa’ erupted in the arena as the crowd’s hearts raced and the eyes closed as the stone fell on top of Taro.
