Chapter 112: Last Match (1/2)
Theo and the others appeared on the field and found Alea and her team waiting for them. Ellen smiled and pointed her finger at Alea. ”Start.”
Alea narrowed her eyes because she thought Theo would use some kinds of tricks before the match and by starting the match as soon as possible, Alea should be able to prevent Theo from using any tricks, so she shouted without hesitation. ”Start.”
Everyone except Ellen went to the middle before Sihan turned to the left while Phyrill and Laust went to the right. Of course, Laust was reluctant to do it, but Phyrill forced him to do it by watching him.
Alea's group reciprocated their strategy by sending their best fighters to do all the work while seeing the number in the middle of the field.
The moment it reached zero, Leca made the first move and summoned three creatures. The first was a red ape holding a sword and shield at the same time. The second was a brown bear equipped with metal gauntlets on his hands. The bear and ape walked on two hands, raising their guards while making their way toward Phyrill.
Obviously, Hontar led both of them from the front while raising his sword before turning around, seeing Laust making his way toward him.
”Interesting.” Hontar smiled and pointed his finger at Phyrill.
Leca understood the signal and made the two creatures intercept Phyrill while the third one remained on her side, protecting her from any attacks.
Phyrill stared at the red-colored lizard for a second and regained his focus.
Meanwhile, Theo was facing Aisha from their side. As representatives of the first year as well as the person Alea was searching for, Aisha had a great interest in Theo.
”I would like to know what kind of person you are… I have never heard anything about you after all.” Aisha smiled and went close to him.
Last but not least, Sihan looked at Alea, specifically her left hand. ”So, you have been holding back this whole time.”
”I just realized how hard it was for me to take in when I lost Theo to you guys.” Alea shook her head helplessly and raised her left hand. ”And now, I don't think I want to experience it again. As expected, I shouldn't think of my stupid trauma anymore.”
”You can only win if you can pass me… But that's not happening today.” Sihan raised his shield and saw the count turn zero.
Alea was the first to leap forward and slashed his neck.
Sihan simply raised his shield and blocked the swing before waving his sword.
Alea already showed the difference in her fighting style by making her sword slide on the shield's surface and hit Sihan's sword.
”…” Sihan narrowed his eyes and used his skill. His shield started glowing as he charged forward, pushing Alea back.
”Shield Rush.” Sihan kept pushing her back without mercy.
Alea spun her body to avoid getting dragged to the wall, slipped past him, and tried to attack him from behind. Sihan threw his sword to his back like he did in his fight against Theo and made an almost 360 degree swing.
Clink.
The clicking metal sound echoed in their ears as Sihan turned around and slashed his sword upwards.
