Chapter 269 - Arrow of Love
Chapter 269 – Arrow of Love.
In the Arena.
The beautiful gladiator pointed toward the bright blue sky and shouted in her sweet voice, ”START!”
*CHEERS!*
The spectators screamed their hearts out.
Darkside unsheathed his two daggers and suddenly disappeared from the arena!
[Stealth Used!]
Queen Diana grabbed two arrows from the quiver and put them on the bowstring.
Around her, the wind kept making the dust fly around her, making the visibility somewhat poor.
*SWOOSH*
Out of nowhere, Darkside’s illusionary figure appeared behind Queen Diana and did an overhand slash.
Queen Diana felt the approaching danger.
She listened to her instincts and jumped away.
While airborne, she let go of the bowstring and sent two arrows flying.
*Clank*
Darkside used the side of his daggers and deflected the arrows with relative ease.
”Hmph.” After snorting, his legs suddenly started glowing in purplish colors.
[Assassins Speed!]
*WHOOSH*
Darkside used his first skill of the match!
In the eyes of the spectators, he vanished and appeared in front of Queen Diana with his arm stretched forwards.
*POW!*
His fist struck Queen Diana in the gut and sent her flying a dozen meters away.
”Ugh!” Queen Diana grimaced with a mouthful of saliva escaping her mouth.
*Thud*
Her body crashed to the ground, but that wasn’t the end, and she rolled several more meters to the ground before barely managing to stop.
Her beautiful green robes were dirtied with dirt and soil.
In the gladiator spectator’s area.
”Damn!” Darth grimaced, and the rest of the Black Arrows also let out sighs of frustration.
Other Players, however, were, cheering at the match. They didn’t care whether they would be insulting Black Arrow members that way.
Back in the Arena.
Queen Diana stood up and didn’t see Darkside anywhere.
Her face was beautiful as ever, untainted by any mortal sins.
However, soon her beautiful face grimaced after a sudden numbing feeling appeared on her waist.
A semi-long cut wound suddenly appeared on her waist, which made blue blood gush out.
[-125 HP!]
[HP: 260/450]
Her ears perked up after the wind’s speed accelerated around her; she knew that another attack was about to arrive!
But she had other plans.
”Not so easily!” She grabbed only one arrow and put it in the bowstring before aiming toward the bright blue sky.
”Arrow Rain!” Queen Diana also used her first skill and let go of the bowstring, which sent the arrow flying straight towards the sky.
However, when it reached the height of fifty meters, the Arrow did a 180-degree turn, and hundreds of illusionary arrows appeared around that simple arrow made of carbon fiber, aluminum, fiberglass, and wooden shafts.
The hundreds of arrows started descending with scary speed.
Queen Diana stopped moving and only felt the brushing of the arrows going past her and stabbing on the ground.
Few arrows brushed past her shoulders, legs, and arms.
But not even one of them hit her.
Someone else wasn’t as lucky.
Darkside’s Stealth disappeared, and he appeared with three illusionary arrows sticking out of his legs.
”Argh!” His face grimaced after seeing HP reducing at an alarming rate.
[-221 HP!]
[HP: 220/441]
Deathsong grimaced at the sight, and the rest of the League of Assassins members gulped.
They had underestimated Queen Diana, but they still had blind faith in Darkside.
Deathsong, however, didn’t have much faith in him.
Inside the gladiator area.
Every Player became silent, except Black Arrow Members.
”Yes!” Darth clenched his fist.
”Whew…” Tobi took a sigh of relief.
Colorful clapped her hands.
GreenFlower nodded with admiration.
Even Redless had an almost unnoticeable smile on his face.
Back in the match.
The illusionary arrows disappeared into tiny light blue particles.
Queen Diana rushed forwards, using every fiber of her Archer Physique to increase her speed.
*SWOOSH!*
Her sudden increase of speed caught Darkside completely off-guard!
She raised her leg, which revealed her smooth and soft-looking thigh. However, no one had time to admire the sight because suddenly, she used it to send a kick that was packing all the strength from her physique.
”Damn!” Darkside jumped back, but he could only watch with despair as the kick landed on his body.
*BAM!*
His body flew across the air like a cannonball.
*CRASH!*
He would have continued for several hundred meters, but in the end, the Colosseum wall stopped him.
[-150 HP]
[HP: 70/441]
Queen Diana lowered her leg and moved the strands of her hair behind her ear.
*CHEERS*
The spectators cheered at the beautiful display shown by Queen Diana.
*Whistle*
The male population was even more excited at the display and sent a whistling chorus toward her.
However, many of them forgot one crucial thing. Most of them were with their wives or girlfriends, which earned them a slap to their cheeks from their lovers.
Queen Diana innocently smiled at the spectators, which earned another round of cheering.
*CRASH!*
From the Colosseum wall, angry Darkside appeared with a hateful look on his dirtied face.
Queen Diana put her hand on her waist and smiled, ”Darkside, aren’t we done here?”
”Shut up, bitch!” Darkside’s dark eyes started glowing in the color of purple, while the rest of his mask had cracks and drops of blue blood dripping down from his chin.
Queen Diana grabbed three arrows from the quiver and put them right on the bowstring.
”That is not very nice…” Her beautiful eyes had a tinge of pink about to form.
”Graah!” Darkside leaped across the air, and suddenly the tips of the daggers started glowing in purple, ”Arc of Death!”
[Arc of Death Used!]
Wide arcs of energy beams left the daggers.
The surroundings became dark purple, which gave the atmosphere an eerily feeling.
Queen Diana’s frail-looking arms started trembling after pulling the bowstrings, which seemed much heavier than before.
Everything she did seemed much more difficult, and Queen Diana knew that it was the effect of Darkside’s ability.
However, she still had a gentle smile on her face.
”Arrow of Love!” The brownish arrows changed colors until they became beautiful pink!
”She is..?!” Darkside widened his eyes in shock.
[Queen Diana]
[Legacy: God of Love – Cupid]
[Legacy Rank: Godly]
She winked and released the powerful arrows.
The arrows effortlessly broke the energy beams, but they weren’t done!
Like homing missiles, they changed directions and went straight towards Darkside, who was still airborne!
