Chapter 219: The Last Six (3)

Chapter 219: The Last Six (3)

"The winner is Liu Ying!" The referee announced.

Liu Ying smiled sweetly. She then turned around and returned to her seat proudly.

Several people were looking at her with expressions of admiration. Her enemy, Arno, was a very famous B-Rank practitioner. However, he was defeated by Liu Ying and Liu Ying did not suffer any injury.

In other words, this match could be considered an overwhelming victory.

"Well done," Bloed said when Liu Ying returned. Liu Ying grinned and said nothing, but it was obvious she was feeling happy.

Bloed smiled slightly and looked at the stage again.

After Liu Ying's battle, it was Aya's turn.

The catkin girl walked to the stage under the gaze of the people in the coliseum. When she arrived at the arena, her opponent was already there.

Greta, a spear-user deerkin girl.

Greta was a bit taller than Aya, with two deer antlers growing from her brownish hair and a pair of adorable deer ears.

She gave out a slightly sacred feeling, as though she was a priestess hearing the voice of the world; and small whirlpools of wind circled her body, like wind spirits greeting a pure maiden.

And as one of the twelve candidates that reached this stage, she was very strong.

In fact, she was one of the candidates Bloed was wary of.

However, Aya was not any weaker than her. Although she was still a bit inexperienced, Aya's strength was undeniable.

Thus, Bloed could not predict who was going to win this time.

Greta and Aya stood at both ends of the stage. The stared at each other while waiting for the referee to start the battle.

When the referee confirmed they were ready, he swung his hand down.

"Start!"

Aya and Greta moved at the same time.

Kicking the ground, Aya moved through the stage at blinding speed. She narrowed the distance between her and Greta in an instant.

Greta stared at Aya calmly. Taking a step forward, she stabbed her spear forward elegantly.

But that elegant stab became deadly instantly. It was as though her spear summoned all the wind in the surroundings, sending it towards Aya furiously.

Aya narrowed her eyes. Her petite body abruptly stopped before crouching down and avoiding the barrage of wind. She then put a hand on the ground and threw herself towards Greta.

*Clank!*

Daggers and spear clashed, and sparks appeared in the air. It was the first clash between the deer and the cat.

But Aya's expression changed instantly. She did not hesitate to jump back, avoiding a sudden blade-like gust of wind that surged towards her from below.

But the wind did not stop there. Following Aya's movements, it continued chasing after her. Furthermore, even more gusts of wind closed on her from all directions and threatened to slice her flesh into bits.

Unable to avoid the numerous gusts of wind, Aya clenched her teeth and swung her daggers furiously, destroying a portion of the wind and escaping through that opening.

Unfortunately, Greta seemed to have predicted her escape. Not even one second later, her mana-filled spear appeared before Aya's eyes.

Aya managed to avoid the attack leaning her head aside, but Greta continued pressing on her.

Stab, thrust, swipe, swing. Countless spear attacks flew towards Aya's body, creating tens of spear shadows that seemed to attack her form each direction.

Even worse, each spear attack was accompanied by a powerful and sharp gust of wind, cornering Aya even more.

The catkin girl's face turned stern. But she did not panic. Her body moved dexterously around the spear attacks evading each one of them. At the same time, her daggers shone brightly and released a powerful mana wave.

*Boom!!!*

The mana wave clashed against the gusts of wind, destroying them completely and then continuing towards Greta.

But Greta grunted. Her spear clashed with the mana wave, cutting it into two easily, but when she was going to continue attacking Aya, she realized the catkin girl had disappeared.

Greta's expression changed. Without hesitation, she swung her spear around her, releasing a current of air in all directions and trying to make Aya come out.

But Aya was not caught by the attack. Instead, Greta felt a powerful killing intent coming from her back.

Like a ghost, Aya appeared behind her, and her two daggers cut simultaneously towards Greta's neck and heart!

The attacks were so quick and deadly that they were night unavoidable.

But when everybody thought Greta was unable to avoid these attacks, the situation suddenly changed.

A whirlpool of wind surged out of Greta's body, surrounding her body and stopping Aya's daggers!

Aya's expression changed. Feeling that something was wrong, she tried to jump away and escape.

But to her surprise, her body could not move!

It had been trapped by Greta's wind!

Greta's wind could not restrain Aya for long. With the catkin girl's abilities, she could escape in less than one second.

But in this kind of battle, one second was far too long.

And Greta was not going to let go of this opportunity.

Her spear moved like a snake, piercing Aya's abdomen!

"Agh!"

Aya opened her eye wide in pain. She hurriedly tried to circulate her mana to escape from her predicament and try to turn the situation around.

But to her surprise, the mana in her body suddenly vanished.

"Surprised?" Greta said calmly. "It's the ability of my spear. It's a demigod artifact with the ability to drain mana when it cuts the opponent's body. And in front of a B-Rank opponent, this ability is lethal I'm sorry, but it's the end."

With these words, Greta raised her leg and kicked Aya's chest.

*Bam!*

The catkin girl flew away, leaving the stage and falling on the ground several meters away.

Before closing her eyes, the last thing she heard was the words of the referee.

"Winner, Greta Oak."
