‘Oh my, is that a side story?’ No 18.
“All or nothing”
All fights until now were easy ones, I had my leisure evading the attacks and finishing the fights with a single stab. The magic local paramedics use to treat the wounded is an interesting thing and it allows me to be quite daring in punishing the foul-mouthed opponents.
The crowd is not favoring me and mostly got used to the fact that I am winning against any opponent. My companions also showed some good results and I am interested to find out whom will I fight in the end.
I once again walked out of the arch and waited for the next opponent. The quarterfinals will be opened with this fight so I expect to see a capable opponent.
Soon my opponent walked out of another arch. It was a female warrior with a longbow. Her ears were unusual, almost like Centaur’s.
“You are the one who ends all fights with a single strike?” My opponent started talking to me right after the fight began.
“Indeed I am.”
“I too end it with a single strike!” She drew the bow in a second and released an arrow. I saw her fighting before and this time she surely went all out at me.
The arrow she fired was glowing blue and it was flying at a supersonic speed. A normal person would be killed immediately by this much power.
‘Ping’
“What…?” My opponent was dumbfounded.
I deployed the main guns and aimed at her.
“Any arrow against me is useless. Even this much [Points at the guns] is not enough to break through my citadel.” I smiled at her.
I slowly walked towards her.
“As you decided to show your true strength, then I shall not hold back as well.” I stretched out a finger and pushed her.
She was pushed back a meter and fell down from a slight push.
I walked out of the arena to wait for the next fight.
