Chapter 1284 Cap 1282: War Tournament Part 3
Pov Fiona’s:
I couldn’t help but be fascinated by Lady Larany, an Ancient Elf just like Lady Freya, she is so beautiful, her dark skin is so beautiful, her eyes seem to shine like stars and I can feel as if she is part of the flow of nature around us.
Mistress Freya still looks more impressive somehow, but Mistress Larany is still stunning.
I never thought that one day I would meet beings from legends with us the Ancient Elves, much less did I think I would see two in my life, for us Elves they are the hope and adoration of all, holy creatures who dedicate their very existence to nature, being a fundamental part of it, the true children of nature.
But even lost in my eternal admiration for Lady Larany, I was still paying attention to the rules since I still have a mission to accomplish.
Suddenly I noticed a murderous intention, as it wasn’t right in my direction I almost missed it, barely realizing it, it was then that I saw a man looking directly at Xagar, he was directing this murderous intention towards Xagar.
“(Someone from the Church of Light? But how did they find us?)” (I)
“(His clothes look more like an Adventurer’s, is he in disguise?)” (I)
“(He appears to be targeting Xagar, but cannot have recognized him, his appearance is very different from any description the Church of Light may have of him.)” (I)
“(It could be someone on our target’s side, Xagar could have been exposed or discovered that he has a Spirit, either way, I have to keep an eye out for him.)” (I)
I had many doubts about the identity of this person, I didn’t know why Xagar was a target of his, I also didn’t know what kind of possible connection there was between the two, and so all I could do was mark the man as someone of interest to keep by eye.
After that the fights started, I tried not to focus too much on Xagar so as not to draw too much attention to myself, but I was still following the results of his fights.
It wasn’t long before I was called up for my first match, when I looked at the arena I couldn’t help but smile, it was a lush forest and my opponent was a Human.
I didn’t know what his power or affinities were and it didn’t matter, I knew that no race was better in the forest than an Elf, except in special circumstances, especially for me.
“Thank you for giving me this precious time.”
“< Palms of the Wind King > ×5” 𝓁𝘪𝑏𝑟ℯ𝒶𝑑.𝑐ℴ𝘮
I couldn’t help but be amazed when I saw 5 magic circles forming around me made by currents of wind, half of a humanoid body emerges from each magic circle all the same like giants made of wind, God bodies constantly in flux like tornadoes live while struck towards me using his big palms.
I didn’t feel when my opponent used his magic, I didn’t feel the magical power or his Aura at any time until the magic was activated, not to mention that from the moment we arrived in this arena no more than a few seconds passed, he was very fast I must admit.
“(If it wasn’t for this arena, I would have had to use my Contracted Spirit or my Zenos’ Blessing to have a chance of winning.)” (I)
“< Nature’s Embrace: Containment >” (I)
From behind the opponent, the image of a woman with green skin, hair, and eyes appears, hugging him at the same time that the surrounding plants wrap themselves around his body and roots invade his body, piercing all his muscles.
“Haaaaahh!!!!!”
When this happened, the 5 wind giants around me disappeared, inches away from reaching me, becoming just a strong gust of wind passing by me.
I walk over to him, his face sweating from the pain of what he’s going through, his clenched teeth enduring another scream from escaping his throat as I approach him.
“You only have one chance.” (I)
“I quit.”
“Good fight.” (I)
“I knew I was unlucky as soon as I saw you and this damn forest.”
As soon as he gave up, I canceled my magic freeing him, his body fell to his knees with all his limbs shaking due to the damage to his muscles.
Soon we were both teleported back to the participants’ location, it was a victory based on my luck, I used one of the strongest moves I have trying to end the fight quickly and it was the right move.
I used the roots beneath the ground to create the magic circle of my attack, we had similar ideas, the biggest difference was the environmental advantage, I can’t count on that forever as in the future I may be on the side of the environmental disadvantage.
————-
I was still in perfect condition at the time of my second fight, this time it was against another White Elf, I saw on his shoulder a Water Spirit and we were in a ruin of some kind of city.
The two of us didn’t waste time talking, as soon as we appeared we started attacking, her water spirit was forming Spiritual Runes along with her while I was running with a spear in my hands.
“< Water Rune: Rain of Torment >”
All the Spiritual Runes activated in an order before merging into a flow of energy upwards, as I got close with my spear aimed at her neck, but I was stopped by the Water Spirit who used water where I stepped to make my foot slip, missing the target.
During this period of time, I felt danger coming from the sky where I saw rainwater falling towards me as if it were drawn towards me at high speed.
“< Ascending Spear >” (I)
I focused my Aura on the tip of my spear as soon as I got into position again, so when I launched a piercing attack upwards, the shadow of a spear just like mine forms around me heading upwards like a large spear coming out of the earth to cross the heavens.
My attack went through the clouds above along with all the raindrops spreading to the surroundings, I felt something trying to hit me only to collide with the hilt of the frandenlanca around me which acts as a barrier.
I saw that the Water Spirit was now much larger with one of its arms disproportionately larger, trying to continuously punch this temporary defense, but not just wait and do nothing.
“< Spear of Nature >” (I)
No time to make an attack, then roots emerge from the ground around her that manage to dodge most of them while the others were stopped by small water shields created by the Spirit that stopped attacking me to defend its Contractor.
I take advantage of this pause to cancel my first attack by making the large ascending spear disappear, then I throw the spear in my hands with all my strength using my Aura at the tip of the spear.
I had waited for her to dodge one of the roots sticking out of the ground to aim at her when my attack broke one of the Spirit’s water shields and continued its path through her stomach.
“She lost consciousness, we gave up!” (Water Spirit)
Maybe from shock or pain, but she loses consciousness falling to the ground with my spear sticking out of her back, her Water Spirit returns to normal while returning to her Contractor trying to rip my spear from her body.
The Water Spirit was quick to admit defeat and was soon taken back to the participants area, a few minutes later my spear was brought back to me, I saw them take away my opponent’s spear before bringing it to me, the healing areas were all on the side of each arena.
————–
My next match was in an ice arena, the one in front of me now was a Beastman from the Tiger Tribe, and in his hands was a large Axe.
No matter how one looks at him, clearly a warrior and the Ki being emitted from his body was from the thunder element that enveloped his body before rushing towards me at a great speed.
He was fast, but it didn’t take long to win, in fact of my 3 opponents today this was the weakest, all he had was speed and strength, and his combat techniques were very simple making it easy to guess the trajectory of his blows.
I didn’t even need to use any skills or magic, just with my spear I was able to beat him, in the end, he was the only one very injured and with a spear pointed at his neck.
“I quit…”
I could feel the disappointment around him when he gave up, my victory against him was so easy that I distrusted him, so I paid close attention to him when he turned his face down forming a slight smile.
My spear was a little special and thanks to that my Aura flowed through it with ease, so when I focused more on my opponent I could feel the slight trace of Spiritual Energy, knowing this I cut his neck a little with my spear leaving only a get a scratch before we are taken back to the competitors’ area.
“(Looks like we have one more.)” (I)
With that, I achieved 3 victories leaving only the next 3 fights tomorrow.
