章 66: Chapter 66 - Beast Mages Tournament (2)
Rolfgar swung his palms down, creating friction in them and managing to stop himself from moving even closer to the end of the barrier.
"You're a strong person but you'll soon lose to me," he heard a voice speak from above him as a green striped tail shot out good at him.
Rolfgar had no time to think and so in a fleeting moment, he had lost his grip and was blasted by the attack, green smoke had been lit in his face as he hit his back on the grass at the front of the arena.
A loud applause resounded from the mud blocks that the crowd used as chairs for spectating.
"The first match has come to an end!" Ulmer shouted with a loud voice as the mana stone in hand seemed to reverberate it to the ears of the crowd.
"Now we will move to the second match and I shall announce the name of the participants" She raised her finger up as the sack of stones was brought to her position.
She placed her hand inside and removed a stone that had been named.
"Baco, the crocodile berserker against… "
Placing her hand back into the sack to bring out another stone, she called out the participants' name "The Hermit Cat named Whiskers from the Cat clan. "
The moment she was done calling the two participants stepped into the ring. On one side was a croc on two's that was wielding a large axe which he placed on his back while his scales gave off a frightening aura who came to him.
On the other side, was a brown cat on two's with a red dot on his forehead and long black whiskers stretching across his face while holding a strange sword with curved edges that resembled an unending number of hills and slopes.
Baco look saddened at this and
"Cat Lord, it seems your opponent has already lost!" The Croc Lord struggled to hold back his laughter after seeing the difference between the two.
"I think that you shouldn't be cocky, Croc Lord. The other clans have also triumphed over your warriors so many times. So why are you so confident of your victory?" said a black cat who sat beside the snake lord and smiled with his whiskers raised up.
The Croc Lord smiled "A giant against a normal even among our numbers, Baco is a very tall warrior. I'll like to see what you're have to offer though,"
"I am the one who will be victorious in this battle and you will not be able to stop me!" Bicro declared in front of the hermit whose eyes were half opened.
"It seems that you are really a close minded hunchback who is also arrogant. very well," said Whiskers who looked at him like he was a child.
"We'll see about that" Bicro was angry at the belittling.
One again, a loud voice rang in the ears of the speculators. "The Match begins now!"
Bicro did not wait a minute before bringing down the large axe he held.
Whiskers half opened eyes nearly opened completely as he jumped backwards before they squinted "It's impossible to fight like that in a battle between proficient mana users?"
Dust welled up in front of him as soon as the axe landed on the ground. A strange sensation seemed to have passed through his body before the croc began to rush towards him.
Whiskers dark blue eyes waited patiently for the enemy to approach and when the croc swung his axe heavily in the air and struck the ground of the floor which was starting to crack.
He was shocked to see his small opponent climbing onto his arm so steadily and approaching him with a shocking speed and before he knew it, Whiskers had stretched a claw to his face.
The palm of his hands should have been the focus, but strangely it was the fingernails that released three sharp blue lights the shape of cat nails.
"Argh!" he screamed as the nails cut his face.
He was unaware that Whiskers had somersaulted over his head but out of rage he swung his axe even more violently trying to hit whiskers who was now in mid air.
Luckily, the cat managed to block the strike but ended up being pushed back by the force of the attack.
In order to break the fall, the cat pushed himself and twisted his body in mid air before pushing himself down as his feet slipped off and his cat claw scratched the floor.
He looked at his opponent who was now smiling at him but had a little bit of blood showing on his face while he was taking deep breaths to calm himself down but he was interrupted by his cough.
"Just one strike and I felt that force, I cannot try to handle it with my body,"
"But was I wrong?" he questioned himself.
"My opponent has only used his axe and refused to cast any attack on me"
Then his eyes widened as he remembered the last attack he made.
"Wasn't his opponent shouting, how then was the axe currently aimed,"
But not long after he had the thoughts did he connect the dots.
"So that's what your mana is for," he said, noticing the small blue layer surrounding the main axe.
He's targeting me with his mana, that way he can use his skills while being able to pinpoint me.
"Glad to see that you've figured it out, though you did it a bit too early" The hunchback croc laughed before zooming towards him and swinging his axe again.
Whiskers slid down from under him while the axe reached nothing else but earth but Whiskers was quickly surprised to see the axe heading towards him the sooner he thought he had escaped.
And so he took a big leap and avoided it again but this time he felt a bit of hair touch his skin.
"My long whiskers!" he yelled.
"Is it just dawning on you now!" Baco laughed at this.
The moment he stopped laughing, he noticed that his opponent no longer had half closed eyes but fully opened blue eyes.
"You'll pay,"
All of a sudden, he felt a strange presence and an ominous feeling and hurriedly swung his blade only to see a sword above his head and then the rumbling noises made by a sword smashed against his scales.
"It seems that the cat is getting serious!" said the Snake Clan Lord.
"Whiskers loves his Whiskers!" The Cat Lord laughed.
"Baro is not someone who can be taken lightly,"
With the overhead moving just made, Whiskers jumped towards the barrier of the arena.
"Are you crazy!" Yells flew out from many people's mouths as Whiskers grinned before the left part of the Whiskers that were uncut released a small blue light.
To the utter shock of everyone present, the legs of Whiskers seemed to have stopped themselves from leaving the barrier.
His entire body seemed to be covered by a layer of mana as he bent his knees and shot towards his enemy while swinging the blade.
Baro side stepped and could only block the enemy's attacks with his scales, but he was only able to use his mana to lock onto an enemy target as long as they were in close range and he could sense their presence.
The feeling of an incoming attack soon hit and he faced the top of the dome barrier. Whiskers now covered by a layer of mana immediately shot down from there and slashed at him.
The moment the cat crashed, Baro's smile grew wider. "'Continuous Assault' skill do your worst!"
The area around his axe's blade turned red as he hacked down on his attacker. The moment the ground he hit was nothing but empty, his axe would locate by itself where next the opponent who used mana was and the only thing he had to do was to sense it and feel it.
"To my left," A voice in his mind spoke as the axe on his hand slashed the air before Whiskers feet suddenly landed on the blade's spine.
"You!" Baro was about to use his hand to attack the cat when he somersaulted in air again and all of a sudden, the sword which he had barely used so far suddenly started making quick moves as blue flashes of light shot out of it and collided with his body.
The flow of his attack was disrupted again, he had to continuously hack his enemy for the ''Continous Assault' technique to tire them out.
The flashes of light exploded upon collision and rocked his senses as he blocked the next barrage of slashes of mana arcs at his body.
"Though you cut of my whiskers, I can very much say that match was a very good one,"
"Uhn what?"
Suddenly, the cat jumped towards him, meeting his eyes before twisting and landing him a kick.
He never knew what happened next but his vision became blank.
