Rise of the Malactric Heir

Chapter 171 Strong Opponent

"They are tiring each other out; if this continues, no one will win the match; they will both be exhausted; the first round is already over; the second round will end soon if they keep up like this," Adora sighed as Zack sipped his juice.

"Uh... guys, they are both injured and neither of them is getting close enough for a final attack, what is going to happen to this match?" Aerav asked as Olivia gave him a bottle of cool orange juice to drink.

"Thank you," he said.

"You are welcome; the night is approaching, Alix must fight; who do you think will win this match?" Is there even going to be a winner?" Olivia inquired as Sarah panted, blood running down her opponent's leg as a result of her sword strike on the girl.

"You are slowing down, which means your stamina level isn't as high, you will be done for," her opponent said as her eyes began to glow blue, and Sarah's eyes widened as lightning formed on her blade, which she shot at Sarah with enough power that knocked her to the ground, weakening and injuring her, giving the opponent the win of the second round, and finally Sarah's final round came with a mere two minute time out.

"It seems like Sarah is going to lose," Isabella said.

"It doesn't matter; we have already won two matches; if I win the last one, we will still make it; Sarah has been working hard and it's paying off; she won the first round," Alix responded, and Isabella sighed.

"Adora, this is not looking good for both of the fighters," Zack said as Adora keenly looked at Sarah, who stood up with her hands trembling and noticed that even her opponent was weakened by Sarah constantly attacking her.

"There is a chance for Sarah to win, every swordsman has his or her powers, her opponent's powers are strong but so are hers, she just needs to bring it out, unless she can't as yet, then there is nothing wrong with losing," Adora replied, and Zack smiled.

"You are correct, I must say, you are a great leader, making sure they don't feel useless and so on, that's a difficult job," Zack said as he patted Adora on the shoulder.

"None of my team members are useless, they just have a little problem growing, but when they do, they surprise everyone, even themselves, Casian's team has reigned in this arena long enough, my team wants to break the reign, I wonder what Sarah will do now, she will consider this an insult to herself, her training, and everything else, she won't back down too," she replied, and Zack smiled as the third bell rang, indicating that the third and final round has begun.

"Well, I believe in you and your team, and I want Casian's team reign to end as well, to show people that they are not unbeatable, people have feared going up against them, let's see what happens in the next match, whether they will continue reigning or not," Zack said, and Adora smirked as Sarah stood in her corner of the ring carefully watching her opponent's movement.

"What are they waiting for?" Niya asked.

"Sarah is being cautious, but so is her opponent; after all, this is the final round of their match, and it will determine who wins and who loses," Zavis replied, and Niya pouted.

"I hope Sarah wins," she said worriedly, as Ayden patted her on the back.

"It will be fine, relax and enjoy the match if you can," he said, and she smiled.

"Sarah, what are you waiting for? Are you unsure of yourself? "The girl inquired, hoping to irritate Sarah enough for her to make her move.

"Stop smiling, it's annoying, I am not going to lose to an overconfident brat," Sarah replied, and the girl smirked as Sarah lifted her sword up while tightly gripping it, knowing that she cannot let her guard down around her opponent or she will take advantage of it, even if it is only for a second.

"I am going to finish you off, show you what true swordsman skills look like, and then you will quit, crying," Sarah's opponent, Kyla, said as she took a deep breath with a crazy look in her eyes and Sarah left staring at her as her blade glowed blue and her body relaxed.

'Wh- What should I do now?' Am I going to keep losing? I have never won a big and serious fight where everyone is watching before, this is nerve-racking, if I don't win, I am not sure if I'll be able to fight again,' Sarah thought, frustrated, and Adora lowered her head.

"I am afraid it won't be well for Sarah if she doesn't win," Adora said, and Zack gave a worried expression as the girl rushed towards Sarah with speed and her eyes widened as she jumped up in the air, but the girl was moving very fast, she kicked Sarah in the stomach, sending her tumbling onto the ground, and yet she got back up and grabbed her sword quickly blocking Kyla's attack with her sword but Kyla shoved her away fast and Sarah attacked her but she struck Sarah on her leg causing her to fall on her knees.

"Damn it," Sarah said blocking Kyla's attack with her sword as she was being pressed towards the ground by Kyla and her sword.

"I will not lose," Sarah said as she kicked the girl in the stomach and spun around with her sword in her hand, and they continued to clash when Sarah noticed Kyla's blade glowing, preparing for another attack, but she moved out of the way immediately as the blade released a lightning strike, which Sarah knocked back at Kyla by jumping in the air and hitting it down at the girl by she dodged just in time, but yet she got a cut when the lightning passed by her face, it was not deep though it got her more riled up as Sarah landed on the ground, took a deep breath and her blade started turning red then a smirk appeared on her face.
