Chapter 193: Quinn vs Marooner

Miles left the arena with his eyes twitching. He didnt know why Zeric passed out cold with a single punch after boasting so much about his armor. Miles even thought that the armor might be Frenzy-Rank. But he still lost after a single punch. After seeing him waking up without any problem he was relieved.

After his fight with Zeric, Miles's opponents folded one by one, no one fought with him. He was in the last bracket and was moving forward steadily. In the first bracket, Quinn was moving by besting her opponents as well.

Tian Ling fought with Mihr Orril, and Mihr Orril won. They fought together on many occasions and knew their powers best, but Tian Lings powers were more area of effect type of attacks, while Mihrs were single targeted. In the end, Mihr won.

Later he encountered Quinn who won against Porseila without any problem and Quinn won that fight as well. The numbers were getting lesser and lesser. And not long after, it was time for the final fight Marooner and Quinn.

Both of them appeared in the Arena and locked on to each other. They werent strangers, as they met several occasions in this persona of Miles. They even had a trade before, but they never tested each other although both knew what the other was capable of.

Hello again, Mr. Marooner. It is my honor to fight against you. Quinn saluted with a mischievous smile.

Ms. Quinn, always a pleasure. Miles also greeted his opponent. He was preparing for this fight all along. Everything he did was for this fight, so he had to win. He even created two dual elemental orbs for this battle.

If time wasnt so urgent, he wouldnt sell the orb in the auction and would deliver it to Evelyn with some other means, but because he had to prepare, he schemed the auction to get some cash.

Quinn looked at Marooner with her hand in front of her already. Marooner on the other hand had two orbs in his hands. After he charged both, one turned into a cape with spikes, and the other turned into a sword with a water element.

The sword was only a high-tier and wasnt dual elemental. He was lacking a weapon so he bought it with one of the accounts he stored his money in. He couldnt use the one with lightning, as it was Miles's main weapon. He also wanted to buy a higher-tier weapon but he was lacking cash. And honestly, he didnt think he would need it.

Unlike monsters, humans didnt have innate defenses. So even the weakest weapon would usually cut them. And with the lightning of the armor covering the sword, Miles could hurt Quinn pretty bad if he could attack her. The challenge was closing on her. If he could, he would be able to kill her with a kitchen knife too, IF he could pass through her armor

He was also training with his cape all the time in the last few weeks and could somehow control its explosions now.

Quinn was the first to move. With wind blades opening a path for her, and wind blowing on her back, as if a cruiser covered with giant sails, her body moved at the speed of sound. She was in front of Miles before he could realize it. But Miles wasnt a greenhorn without any experience. He was already in battle mode and was waiting for Quinn to attack.

Miles's eyes contracted to the limit, and locked on his target. Approaching the mass of wind with a spear targeting his throat didnt escape his perception. Miles changed the center of his gravity and took a step back with his right as he turned to the side. The spear which was already moving, couldnt change its trajectory.

Miles grabbed the spears body, after it passed through his after image, with his left hand and charged it with lightning. Purple current swam from his hands to the spear, but the ever-flowing wind on the spear offset the lightning. But Miles wasnt done yet. His sword-holding arm attacked Quinns waist while he was holding her by her spear.

Quinn was surprised to see her attack was dodged and Marooner was able to grab his spear while she was swinging it. She wasnt the strongest of Grunt-Rank, but with the speed of her superpower, the might of the spear was beyond the might of Grunt-Rank.

The video of his testing was correct after all. He really is a monster! Quinn thought to herself as she jumped and was parallel to the ground. Because Marooner was holding the spear like a vice grip, she could lean on the spear to stay in the air.

She pulled her leg and kicked Marooners neck. Miles first dropped the spear so Quinn would lose her fulcrum, then brought his empty hand to grab Quinn's leg, aimin at his neck. But Quinn wouldnt let that happen. Her now free spear stabbed to the ground, and by relying on it, Quinn turned her body like a master dancer and her kicking leg appeared behind Miless back.

They were fighting so fast, only five seconds had passed since Quinn started first. Both fighters were dodging and attacking masterfully without taking any damage, but when Quinns kick appeared behind Marooners back as if struck by lightning, Marooner stood there without moving.

Just as he was about to be kicked, he forced his upper body forward and stopped it just a second later. His cape, because of his sudden movement, caught into inertia and stood where it was. When Quinns kick arrived, it clashed with the spiky cape. All of a sudden, a purplish-red rose born in the arena with a thunderous rumble.

Quinn was thrown back with the explosion. But the damage was minimal. Still, her eyes were like saucers and her mouth was agape.

What the hell is that cape? She couldnt wrap her head around it. It was too strong. Her leg was aching as if she was stomped by a Stone Elephant.

She stood up from the ground with her spear in her arm and charged once again. Miles grabbed the side of her cape and defended Quinns attacks with the cape. When hit, the cape would explode and send shocking waves to Quinn who was attacking.

Miles wasnt scot-free either, all these close distance explosions were wrecking his insides, but it was still bearable. He was trying to keep the cape away from his body when Quinn was about to clash.

Lets see how you will cope with this! Quinn shouted all of a sudden and pulled her spear back to the limit.
