Chapter 517
It was the third day of the tournament. The evening of the last day has come.
Every now and then the rumbling and cracking of trees could be heard in the forest. Two hundred and fifty of the best geniuses of the order regularly fought each other for points. Many of them understood that they were not going to win prizes, so they fought for a higher position in the ranking.
Juno clashed with the royal phaser at the 5th stage. The fight has been going on for 2 minutes now.
«Striking lightning!» – the masked guy shouted, launching a thick lightning bolt into the girl’s chest.
Juno pretended that the attack on her worked – she froze as if rooted to the spot, as if paralyzed, but when the enemy approached and for some reason reached for the girl’s chest (obviously not to strike), she suddenly jumped on his shoulders and strangled him with her hips.
From such a suffocating technique, the guy could not stand on his feet in every sense.
«Phew…» – having neutralized the enemy, Stone breathed a sigh of relief. How difficult it is to fight with royal phasers at the middle stage. As soon as they feel that they are worse than her in close combat, they immediately break the distance due to their speed advantage. They are annoying.
…
Kyon was ready to intervene at any moment, but Juno coped on her own. The “investment” was able to save herself from “the greedy capitalist” on her own. How couldn’t he be proud of her after that? However, something puzzled him: he noticed that the girl was almost not injured by the lightning strike. But how is this possible? There is only one explanation: the vacuum barrier. Knowing the science of the world of Lovr, she invented a kind of primitive analogue of the vacuum barrier, which is why she is able to accept attacks of this level with minimal consequences.
{Juno, you’re doing great…} – Lovr nodded with a gleam in his eyes.
Now, since it made no sense to worry about Juno anymore, Lovr remembered that there were only 18 hours left until the end of the tournament, and he had only 3,250 points on his balance. However, everything went according to plan. He will still have time to rob Elsa twice, which will ensure him a place in the top 64. By the way, the 12-hour cycle was just coming to an end. It’s time to go to the big sister.
…
Juno, having kicked her former opponent in the ribs, went on, but soon another participant appeared in front of her, the worst possible opponent – Roman Clinton.
«Hello, dolly!» – the short-haired guy smiled from ear to ear.
«Oh no, not you…» – Stone rolled her eyes in anguish, wanting to howl in annoyance.
«You always react so negatively to my appearance… It’s a shame, you know. After all, in two days we will become husband and wife!» – Clinton kindly reminded her.
«Don’t rub salt into my wound, please!» – Juno pleaded.
Knowing that Roman is a royal phaser at the finishing stage, besides a gifted member of the Clinton family and also a cunning one, the girl did not flatter herself with empty hopes of victory.
«Salt into the wound? Juno, I’m your future husband! You must treat me with respect! Moreover, I am much stronger than you, and my family is higher in rank than yours, so…»
«I… Don’t… Owe you… Anything!» – the blonde interrupted him irritably. – «How dare you demand respect from me, you bought the wedding with Tokens?! You acted like a miserable nonentity, and you will not see my recognition in this life! Please leave me alone… This damned tournament is not easy for me…» – at the end of the speech, there were pleading notes in her melodious voice, and her eyebrows curved. Anyone would melt.
«Why should I leave you alone?» – Roman chuckled. – «Let’s start with the fact that collusion is prohibited in the tournament. One of us has to lose half the points. And let’s end with the fact that recently you, such a bitch, publicly insulted me! I offered you to fly with me, but you refused, preferring the company of sweaty, horny fans! Bitch, I just have to teach you good manners!»
«Before teaching someone good manners, you should learn them yourself.» – Juno said coldly, no longer trying to make him feel sorry for her.
«You have a long tongue… But it’s even better.» – Roman grinned passionately, blurred from speed, appeared behind the girl and was about to slap her ass…
Juno snorted disdainfully and somersaulted forward, kicking Clinton standing behind in the chest.
~ding~
A sound came from the bracelet, signaling the loss or acquisition of points.
Roman smiled sourly: that’s the moment when he, fighting at full strength, is inferior to her in close combat. Now he doesn’t have enough speed advantage. The girl compensates for it with her incredible fighting skills.
«What a pitiful thing you are…» – Juno said venomously with contempt on her pretty face.
Roman’s face turned red: «Pitiful, you say… Ha-ha… Ridiculous! And what do you say to that?!» – the guy threw out his hands and created a 10-meter water dragon, which immediately rushed to the attack. You can’t dodge it, you can’t cut it either.
Juno’s beautiful eyes flashed. She spread her arms wide apart, releasing from her chest an icicle of ice with a high concentration of the element of cold. It landed directly in the forehead of the approaching beast and instantly turned it into an ice sculpture. It limply collapsed to the ground and crumbled into a pile of ice fragments.
«The element of cold?! Superior grade?!» – Roman’s jaw almost fell off. – «A-are you a heavenly genius?! Do you know the five elements?! Holy shit!» – the guy could not restrain his emotions, because heavenly geniuses are almost legendary people. They are so rare that many people do not even believe in their existence. In addition, it is believed that they steal luck from heaven. Being with such a person is a great honor.
Juno did not want to reveal this secret to anyone, especially Clinton, but he left her no choice, since she could not block the water dragon in any other way. The girl attacked the guy out of anger, but he easily retreated at high speed.
«My wife is a heavenly genius! Holy shit! I’m the luckiest person in the world! A-ha-ha!» – Roman shouted jubilantly, raising his hands triumphantly over his head. He felt like a winner in life. The value of Juno in his eyes changed like bronze turned to gold. Now he was finally convinced that Elsa was inferior to her, which he was very happy about, after all, his girlfriend is much better than Rose’s.
«Stinky maggot, leave me alone!» – Juno demanded and tried to run away, but the scoundrel ran after her, keeping his distance and continuing to brag about his luck aloud.
After 5 minutes of pursuit, Roman’s delight subsided: «Okay, okay… After all, you are my future wife, you must be incredible! But let’s continue what we started…» – he abruptly reduced the distance to one meter and unceremoniously released a powerful geyser of water into the girl. The attack is very primitive and weak, but it cannot be dodged.
Juno managed to create an ice shield around herself, but due to a significant preponderance in energy power, it quickly collapsed, and she was doused with cold water. She rolled head over heels through the forest, breaking trees with her body.
~ding~
«Oh, you missed the attack, how come?» – Roman grinned maliciously and continued. He repeatedly attacked Stone in the same way, but she could not oppose him because of the large difference in energy density. Although if she knew some good techniques from the element of cold, then everything could be different.
~ding~ ~ding~ ~ding~
Very soon, Juno lost half of the points on her balance. She was barely hurt – Clinton must have been holding back – but she was shaking with rage. Her gaze was like that of a rabid fury. She longed to dig her nails into the eyes of the cunning bastard.
«All right! Cooled down? Or do you want to continue?» – Roman slyly tilted his head.
«Get out… Of my… SIGHT!» – the blonde shouted.
Roman clicked his tongue, shaking his head: «You didn’t understand anything, it’s a pity… Well, according to the rules of the tournament, I have to leave you, so bye-bye. See you.»
«I hope not in this life!» – the girl hissed and ran away.
Juno dried herself from moisture with the element of air, but before she could put her thoughts in order, another practitioner appeared in front of her in a half-face mask, this time, judging by the sensations, the royal phaser at the 6th stage. Well, what bad luck?!
…
A little earlier, when Juno met with Roman, Kyon did not worry at all, after all, Clinton would not harm his future wife. But now, when this bastard at the 6th stage appeared, the guy cursed, turned around and rushed to the girl to help.
Lovr ran quite a bit, when suddenly he braked sharply, because he saw three silhouettes, invisible to the ordinary eye, descending from the sky in front of him, like goddesses… Three extraordinarily beautiful and seductive half-naked girls with wings and horns.
{Succubi?!} – Kyon couldn’t believe his eyes. It seems that he will not have time for Juno…
…
«Ho-oh-oh! I-I found you!» – the participant said in a strangled voice and immediately rushed at the girl, like a careless predator on a harmless victim – without any alertness. He is probably the most ardent fan of Stone. He had lost his head since their first meeting. Now, when all his dreams can come true, the guy began to act.
{Why are you all so overexcited?!} – Juno mentally grumbled and hit the aroused man in the groin with all her might, but he, to her surprise, managed to react – a stone plate grew between his legs, blocking the attack.
«Oh, are you snapping?! But it only makes it more interesting!» – with a nasty smile, the practitioner stamped his foot, causing the earth to go in waves a meter high, destroying all the trees in their path. The essence of this technique is to hold down the movements of the enemy.
Due to the constant fluctuations of the surface, Juno lost a considerable part of maneuverability, however, even in the current situation, she had enough skill to repel the enemy.
The long battle ensued.
Stone had no idea that her innocence was at stake. She was already used to the fact that her opponents were often vulgar, but the lady could not even imagine that they could sacrifice everything they had for the sake of the opportunity to taste the coveted forbidden fruit.
The magician of the earth tried in every possible way to grab the girl, but her amazing dexterity did not leave him a chance even with the earth shaking. Moreover, he missed several blows to the body, albeit painless, but excessively annoying.
«Well, that’s it, pretty girl, you’ve poked the bear!» – getting angry, the practitioner knocked himself in the chest, and his body was covered with a layer of amber rock. Under the influence of the element of light, the newly made statue lit up from the inside, presenting a bizarre spectacle. Soon the “golden” golem was finally formed, and the guy glided along the earth waves towards the beautiful girl like a surfer.
Juno also wasted no time: she stretched out her hand, and a bright and pulsating energy ball was formed in it. The ball rapidly increased in size. Ice crystals hovered around him, the perfect combination of the elements against the earth.
When the “golem” headed towards the girl, she boldly attacked him with “The Essence of Destruction”.
«Fool!» – the earth magician boldly answered the girl with swings of heavy fists.
~WHO-O-O-O-O-OSH~
The sphere exploded, creating a hundred-meter dome of snow and hail. The designated area was instantly covered with a crust of frost and a thick layer of snow. Trees within a radius of 20 meters turned into ice sculptures, and all living creatures froze to death.
Someone’s body, half covered with cracked amber and ice, rolled on the ground like a limp rag doll, destroying the frosted trees in its path.
The royal phaser at the 6th stage bulged his eyes in amazement, staring at the sky. His ultimate technique – “The Golden Golem” – was instantly destroyed by some lord phaser at the 8th stage! Moreover, his body was slightly damaged… However, this is not enough!
«Bitch!» – the earth magician roared furiously and jumped to his feet, but suddenly the beautiful maiden jumped on his shoulders like an angry cat… She wrapped her slender legs around his neck and squeezed it with an effort. Due to the recoil from the destruction of “The Golden Golem” form and the stiffened body, the guy could not throw off the girl. Everything before his eyes went blank and he passed out.
«Phe-e-e-ew…» – Juno, pale from exhaustion, breathed a sigh of relief. She was very lucky with the opponent, because his form of “The Golden Golem” is perfect for the point technique “The Essence of Destruction”, and even so the price of victory was high. If she had allowed the guy to wake up, he would most likely have defeated her.
The blonde kicked the defeated opponent in the chest ten times and ran far away, and almost immediately collided with another masked opponent – the royal phaser at the 5th stage.
«I’m sick of you!» – the girl buried her face in her palms, indignantly stamping her foot.
«Beauty, let’s play!» – the guy with a tent sticking out of his pants grinned obscenely, studying the beauty from head to toe with a vulgar look. She looked incredibly exciting in her black workout outfit that hugged every curve of her body.
«Do you want to play? Let’s play!» – Juno beckoned the opponent with her finger, and when he came closer, the lady tried to knee him in the groin, but he jumped back in time.
The guy clicked his tongue and shook his finger: «Oh, how ugly of you! I’m sorry, but we’ve already fought, and I won’t make the same mistake again!»
«I’m afraid you’ll have to get in line!» – the recently defeated earth magician growled.
«Oh, you’re kidding me!» – Juno screamed, clutching her head.
