The progress of the battle suddenly changed, and Renee fell into a desperate situation.
Right now, Renee was caught in the midst of a massive storm, and everywhere around her was covered with giant wind blades of varying sizes. At the center of this storm was chad who was using it as a cover to stop Renee's advance towards him.
Chad's ability was the ability to perfectly control wind and air. He was able to shape the wind and air into different forms based on his needs and, depending on the situation, he could imbue the wind and air with special characteristics.
One of these characteristics was the ability to hide any and all traces of the wind, making it undetectable to others.
The principle behind Chad's invisible wind blades was that he could condense the wind or air into solid form, giving it a transparency that was hard to distinguish from the surroundings. At the same time, he was able to erase any signs of its movement through the air. This was how
The battle ended just like that, and the winner was decided...Just as everybody had expected, at the end of the battle, Renee was declared as the victor. There was no suspense there, although the process leading up to Renee's victory was not as most people had expected it to go.Although it could be said that this result was inevitable, Chad, Renee's opponent, still put up a very good struggle. Nobody would be able to fault his performance in this battle at all.It could be said that all his strategies which were targeted at Renee... all his battle maneuvers, as well as the very nature of his abilities itself, put some pressure on Renee he likes of which no one had ever expected.Among all of Renee's opponents, there might not be anyone who would be able to push Renee to this extent, as Chad had done.Nay... even if there was, they might not be able to make it as entertaining as this fight had been. The only thing that was dissatisfying about the
The first match of the final round of the chosen ceremony had finally come to an end.Renee became the winner and she would move on to the next round of the tournament while her opponent, Chad, was eliminated. His journey in this ceremony ends here.After the match had ended, Renee made her way back towards where Arran, Brianna, and Daphne were standing. There was a confident and laid-back smile on Renee's face as she made her way back.When Renee finally reached Arran and the girls, she immediately asked, "So... how did you see my battle? It was good, right?"Arran nodded his head slowly as he replied to Renee in a slow drawl."Sure, you did well. I had no doubt you would win. Still, it wasn't what I had expected as well. I had thought you would end the battle in an instant. Instead, you let it drag on for longer than was needed. I don't know if you were playing with your opponent or something, but if this is how you're going to perform for the re
"The thing that makes Hillary Quinn very terrifying is her ability..."Renee had a dark look on her face as she said this as if she was remembering a painful memory. It had to be said that whatever ability that Hillary had, the memory of it was enough to put Renee in a solemn mood.It had to be one hell of an ability...Renee continued, "Hillary has the ability to induce certain conditions akin to poison on the body of her opponents.""Her body is able to secrete certain special enzymes into the air in a gaseous state, which will spread rapidly through the air. In normal cases, this ability can be very harmless and with the physique of warriors it would have most make them dizzy or weak a little, but Hillary's ability went through a certain mutation during birth. Now her ability can directly induce different ailments on her opponents.""The effects of the ability can greatly differ depending on how the body reacts to Hillary's ability, but one thin
The second match had ended, and shortly after, the third would soon begin.It was not yet Arran's turn to fight, neither was it the turn of Brianna or Daphne. Out of the three of them, Brianna had drawn a bye, so she did not have to fight in this round. As for Daphne, her match was not until the sixth one, while Arran had to wait until the eleventh match before he would be able to fight.Because of this, the four of them could sit back and relax and watch the rest of the matches while getting ready for theirs.Soon, the participants for the third match arrived on stage and they got ready for their fight to start.Due to the fact that there was no damage done to the stage this time, the third match began much faster than the second.The participants for the third match were both males, and the two of them had differing statures.One of them was short and stocky, while the other was tall and burly.From their physiques, it was quite har
Thunderous cheers resounded from the background as the audience watched and applauded the hot-blooded battle between the short and stocky participant against the tall and burly pugilist.Both participants fought hard and strong against the other, with neither of them retreating. It was fist against shield and mace against pure muscles.None of them gave way to the other, and the only thing on their minds was winning. Unfortunately, even if none of the two participants wanted to, one person eventually have to give in first. As it turned out, the short and stocky participant was the first person to give way to his opponent.As both participants fought fiercely against the other, the short and stocky participant found that he could no longer hold on to his opponent.Unlike his opponent, who seemed to have given up on defending himself and was letting the occasional mace strike of the short and stocky participant hit his body, the short and stocky participant
The fifth match was between two female participants. Both female participants wielded swords to fight, with the difference being that one of them wielded a very classic long sword with a broad blade and an ancient-looking design.The other female participant, on the other hand, carried in her hand a military-style short saber. The saber blade looked ordinary and unadorned and there were no fancy decorations or jewel inlays on the saber. Everything about the saber looked ordinary except for the red color that looked either like rust or dried blood that stained the sharp edge of the blade.Simply looking at the blade and its wielder, the two of them did not look special in any way at all, but if one were to take a closer look, they would find that there was a certain kind of aura surrounding the saber. This aura was one that would shock a person should they look at it for a very long time as they would start to hear faint sounds of battle in their ears as well as the sou
The fifth match came to an end in the most surprising manner ever.So far, this match became the match with the shortest run time ever and the quickest ending. right now, everybody was drawn to Hilda, and it was not only Arran anymore.As it stood, all the participants became curious about the winner of the fifth match, who was previously unknown to them. All of them asked around at the people they knew as they tried to gain any information about Hilda that they could. That was when it occurred to every participant that nobody really knew much about her in the first place.Apart from knowing that she was included among the seeded participants slated to win the ceremony and that her name was Hilda, nobody knew anything about who she was, where she was from, what her abilities were like, and things like that.Also, from the battle, apart from knowing that she possessed unusual blade techniques, and that she was very skilled in a fight, none of the participa
"What the hell are you talking about?"Arran asked out loud in confusion.He was starting to not make sense of what Renee was saying anymore."Did you not hear what I said?" Renee asked."Let me say it again... should you ever meet this girl in a battle, end it as soon as possible. If you can't, then run. Don't even think about surrendering and just run. Run as far away as you can from her before it's too late."Once again, Arran asked, "And for what reason am I running? You have to tell me the reason why I have to run or else it won't make any sense to me at all."In response to Arran's question, Renee simply said, "You have to run as fast as possible because if you don't, that weirdo is going to disgust you to death!"Arran: "...""I give up!" Arran raised his hands in defeat."I just can't talk sense with you."Not paying attention to Renee anymore, Arran instead turned to Brianna to talk to her.Arran h
