Chapter 4018: Over
I could feel her attack coming closer and closer to me and it was coming with the intention of killing.
I could feel it from her, despite my powers being sealed.
Its feeling, I understand better than anyone here.
I have sensed it from tens of thousands of people and have comprehended the Rule related to it.
I have deep knowledge about it. That I could sense it, despite my powers being sealed.
Her attack was fast, and it reached me less than a second. I felt it touching my head. If I didn't do anything; it would tear through my head.
My armor will be able to absorb a lot of force, but not enough to stop the spear's very sharp tip from boring through my head.
'It's good, I had kept it saved,' I thought and moved.
Sup Sup Sup!
The air jet was blue, but it was sharper, which made their eyes widen.
I moved forward, appearing in front of Hayat, with her blade inches away from my neck, when the jet blew again, and I moved back.
The same time, a few more small jets blew in different directions, helping me turn smooth.
I saw her red-heard girl, looking at me with shock before her eyes widened in terror as she saw my sword toward her.
She tried to move her spear toward me, but its slow compared to the speed, I was moving. This is the same speed, I moved when I was fighting against the Kraven.
I had stored the force, that I felt in my last attack on kraken.
I am glad, I preserved and didn't use it, despite wanting to thousands of times during my fight against the three.
Puch!
"I give u" she understood, she wouldn't be able to survive and open her mouth to give up when my sword moved out of my hand fast and pierced through her head.
I felt the life disappeared from her eyes. I killed her; she didn't finish the words before my sword pierced into her head.
I removed the sword from her head and turned three watching me in shock.
"Come, the challenge is yet to be over," I said to their shocked faces.
They recovered quickly and attacked, but not me.
It is Aros they are attacking, and I am not surprised. They have fought me for one and a half but weren't able to make more than cuts.
There is a small chance, they might be able to do it. So, they chose to focus on their next target.
If they are able to eliminate him. They will be able to move up the ladder. They might not get the top prize, but dealing with him will give them a chance at one of those three prizes after the first.
One of them already have chance, but they don't who.
In two challenges, Iarys was ahead of Hayat, while in two she was ahead of him. The teamwork challenge gives them the same score.
In this one, the number over their heads is exactly the same by some freak coincidence.
So, they might deal with him or fight each other.
They could also attack Anna, but I won't let them do that. That leaves the blue haired man. they could deal with him and get his score, but only one could do it and other would stop them.
The blue haired man isn't an easy opponent either.
Unlike him, they are familiar with Aros and they are not trying to kill him, just make him give up.
Aros is good. A shield unfurled from his hand and began to defend their attacks. He is getting injured obviously, but he is surviving and that is the challenge.
He is a skilled fighter and looks good at defending that attacking.
"Mind helping a little?" asked Iarys, but I shook my head.
While he didn't move stop when the red-haired girl attacked, but didn't do enough for me to help him.
He will have to finish this challenge on his own. I won't help him; I might move if his is life in danger and I am good enough mood.
I watched them, before turning toward the girl and picking up her spear.
A moment later, a shock appeared in my heart, but outside, I kept my expression unchanged. I put the spear back a few seconds without any change in it.
There is a lot of change in it. The first is that it is hollow.
I had sucked the fluid into me. This means, the fluid from other bands could be manipulated.
I felt like such a big idiot, for not testing that soon. It would have saved me a ton of trouble. I would have been able to create such a suite, that nobody would have been able to challenge
me.
It is useless now, but I have noted that information.
The next time, if this challenge came hundreds or thousands of years later. The members of my organization would know about it.
Even if it is something different, but with the band. It would still be helpful to them; I don't think the rules regarding the bands would change.
I sighed the regret away and looked around.
Anna had stopped fighting, the moment the red-haired girl died. The blue haired retreated far and she didn't pursue.
Just kept an eye on him.
There is only one battle going on, which has turned Aros bloody. Though he is still surviving; I wonder, if he will be able to survive a minute more.
Only a minute had remained.
Iarys and Hayat are attacking him with everything they have, but Aros is good. Despite his bloody state, he is defending well.
I don't like the man, but I respect the survivor in him.
What he was able to do isn't something achievable without a massive experience and thousands of life and death battles.
I watched his every move carefully, learning from it. In case, I find myself in such a situation
again.
Buzz!
Seconds passed and finally clock hit zero.
They stopped fighting and turned to the bronze door, that had appeared in the middle of the
arena.
