Chapter 225: Trial Of Survival/Dronic Dungeon Part 32
[AN: Bonus Kana 3/7]
"Hahahaha. No one can beat her! This is why she belongs to me!" The young girl yelled out. She was still struggling with the shackles that had her tied up. Her eyes showed no hint of sanity.
Kana ignored her and went to sit down. After about thirty minutes, the top five were decided. The knight who had been overseeing everything once again had a box brought out and placed next to him. He looked at the final five and let out a sigh. "In this box, there is one free pa.s.s that will allow you to skip to the finals. There you will fight the person who wins the next two rounds. You four will come up to pick while you..." The knight looked at the young girl who was tied up, his eyes narrowing: "Will get what is left over."
"Tch..." The young girl clicked her tongue. She wanted to be unlocked so she could kill her one and only and then take her own life.
"Don"t think I do not know what is going on in that head of yours." The knight said with a mocking grin. The young girl bared her teeth and then turned her head, not wanting to deal with the man anymore. "Alright, line up and pick."
Kana was once again the last one to line up. But as she did, the first person in line let out a yell: "Haha! I got it!"
"Good! You will skip to the finals. Go stand to the side." The knight said.
Kana did not care if she got the free pa.s.s or not. She went up and picked her number, which was the number two this time around. As for the young girl, she got the number three. "Okay first match number two versus number four."
Kana nodded and headed to the cage. The person who she was fighting was a tall, lanky man with a spear. The man did not say a word as he entered the cage. He just stood there calmly and stabbed his spear into the ground. Seeing this, Kana felt that maybe this fight would not be so easy. She was a bit concerned with how calm this man was.
"Begin!" The knight outside the cage yelled.
Kana was about to cast her dragon breath but was shocked when she saw that the spear tip was already right in front of her. She had no choice but to dodge. The spear man did not relent as he continued to thrust at her head and chest. The spear man was aiming for all her vitals! Kana had no time to gather her thoughts on what to do next! She had realized that when facing a master of a weapon, no matter how many skills you have, if you don"t have time to do anything, they are all useless!
Each strike was extremely fast, so fast that Kana could not see which way it would hit her until the very last second, and by then, she only had time to narrowly dodge the attack. With each dodge she was forced back a step until she finally backed into the side of the cage.
*Splurt!*
"Ah!" Kana let out a cry of pain as she felt the spear penetrate her shoulder. She had no choice but to lower her body a bit to avoid being struck directly in the heart. The spear man"s spear was very powerful, and his strength was enough to penetrate her skin.
Even though she was in pain, Kana also saw this as a chance. She quickly grabbed the spear and held on to it. The spear man tried to jerk the spear back but found he could not move it even a centimeter under the grip of this girl. As he was frantically trying to get his spear back, he only heard two words. "[Dragon Breath]..."
Kana had spoken these words softly before her flame filled the entire cage. A shrill scream of pain was heard as the spear man"s body began to burn. But his agonizing screams only lasted for a few seconds before going quiet. All that was left when Kana stopped her flames was her and the parts of the spear that were stuck in her shoulder and grasped in her hand.
"Winner Kana! Not bad young lady. He was the second strongest amongst the group." The Knight gave his praise. Even under those relentless attacks of the spear man Kana was still able to overcome it. But she had sacrificed her own body in order to do so, which was not something a warrior would want to do during battle. "Go see the healer and get that pulled out and healed up. You will fight the winner between the next two."
Kana nodded and did as the knight said. She could feel the stinging pain of the spear in her arm as she walked. It was not a good feeling at all. As Kana was going to get healed, the young girl was escorted to the cage. Only when she was in the cage were the shackles removed from her person. Standing across from her was a man with two daggers. This was the man named Gil that the knight and king had talked about before. His speed was unparalleled compared to the rest.
"Hehe… Let"s see who is better, your invisibility trick or my speed." Gil said with a smile. He was not afraid of fighting this girl. Her ability to turn invisible was nothing to him.
"Humph! I will kill you. Then I will finally complete my wish." The young girl said as she unsheathed her dagger and got into a fighting stance.
"Begin!" The knight outside the cage yelled once more.
The young girl quickly turned invisible, but unlike before, her opponent was not startled by this and quickly moved. By quickly, he moved so fast that the young girl could not see him, and this made her frown. She suddenly realized this was not going to be a simple battle. As such, she became much more vigilant.
