Chapter 335 - Death Of...? (2/2)

It was at this moment that Zier flicked his hands and out of nowhere, an explosion of purple gas covered him entirely!

”ARGH!”

”Ukh!”

Raven heard two different shouts, though she had to stop her spell now since she didn't know what had occurred inside the purple gas.

From the gas, the skinny man who had jumped on Zier ran away with a limp on his feet.

Raven shot a dagger in his direction before quickly glancing towards the ground; Zier was on the ground clutching his stomach with one hand and supporting himself with the other.

”Akh! I will be fine, get that guy!” Zier spat a mouthful of blood, leaving Raven wondering if she should help him or get the guy.

”Go! I can help myself!”

Seeing his resolution and the confidence in his eyes, Raven nodded her head and chased the man around the abandoned buildings.

”Fuck go away!! I have to live! I have a family!” the man who had attacked Zier started shouting as he noticed Raven coming after him.

”Should have thought about them before attacking a sick man.” Raven never learned to pity those who were in the wrong.

”URGH! Crow! Hurry up! Kill people before this bitch kills me!!”

The man frantically started shouting, though no one answered his cries for help.

'So it's not him alone,' Raven understood the gist of it, but she didn't know if this man named Crow would be so loyal as to listen to a dying man.

Without waiting for another second, she pinned that man down on the ground. It wasn't hard, he was already limping because of something Zier had done.

Although surprised how Zier could pull off such a feat while only being a Rank-5 Fighter, she didn't hesitate before plunging another dagger right into that man's chest.

”Khu!”

Blood spattered everywhere as the familiar whisper again resounded in everyone's mind.

'One more death, and the show ends~...'

With that announcement, Raven didn't have the time to find the man's companion as she remembered that she had left Zier on his own. If someone found him, they would surely kill him on the spot to end this tournament!

As she returned to the location, she discovered him leaning against a stone wall, with a piece of cloth tied around his wound. He had fallen unconscious.

Raven moved quickly and precisely. She opened his mouth and quickly summoned a bottle of liquid, which she chugged down his throat.

*Cough! Cough!*

Zier violently coughed before spitting some blood to his side.

”Is he... dead?” he asked Raven with a weak look.

”Yes.”

After that, no one spoke. Only the sound of Zier occasionally coughing could be heard in addition to the explosive noises due to the ongoing battles.

Raven couldn't do more for Zier. She had already given him the medicine, it was up to him to survive now, 'He should be fine.'

She wanted to look for that man named Crow, but leaving Zier here probably meant leaving him to die.

. . .

Back to Blaze and Berk's fight, Blaze kept on pushing the other.

Even with a technique as powerful as the Armor of Heavens, it had its own weaknesses. It didn't cover his whole body.

”Don't you give up already!” Blaze shouted as he realized that Berk's movements were slowing down. It turned out that he was already running out of Mana.

Irritated, Berk didn't reply this time. He had to admit; he was losing this battle. If he didn't do anything now, he would be helpless.

Just then, Berk heard a voice from a few meters away, ”You just don't know when to give up, huh!?”

”Damn, Maura! Don't you interfere in this fight!” Berk tried stopping Maura who was about to jump in this storm of ice and fire.

Angry, Maura stomped her feet. She wasn't about to let him die even if he scolded her later!

”Oh? Stop me the- UkkH!!”

Her widened eyes glanced down.

It was a dagger.

”MAURA!!!” Berk shouted, forgetting Blaze.

'Aaand~ the last participant is dead~... '

Hearing the announcement, Blaze didn't give chase to Berk.

Someone had snuck up on Maura when she was distracted by Berk's fight for a moment.

Berk, panicked, dashed up to her. His wide eyes were staring down at hers, which had suddenly lost all light.

”H-ahah.. I d-did it!” the man who had plunged that dagger into Maura laughed maniacally. In his excitement of escaping death, he forgot that Berk was still here.

”YOU BASTARD!! I WILL SHOW YOU HELL!”

In a fit of rage, Berk didn't care that the tournament had already ended...

”AaHHhH!!!...”

The tournament ended with the anguished cries of the man who was scorched to death by Berk....
