The Rune Knight (Monster Tamer)
CHAPTER II Inter-Academy Tournament
2.9 Second day.
The boisterous sound of the audience cheering me as I walked into the arena in the middle of the coliseum. I saw someone I knew standing up. He stood up in the uniform of the Tower Academy. Black hair with a face that depicts a very confident person. It was Razer who was my opponent in today's second match.
"Hey I'll be serious with you this time," said Razer, who looked very enthusiastic.
"Well, I'll try my best, too" I said, replying to Razer's confidence.
"Are you ready?" ask the referee who was in the middle of us both wearing green clothes.
"Ready," I said along with Razer.
"Start," said the referee, starting our match.
Unlike the current match in the mythical forest, the Razer and Mustang moves are very effective. Attack after attack leads to me and Escanor endlessly.
Razer's left hand managed to fend off some of the attacks I was trying to point at her. In Razer's left hand there is a silver octagonal shaped shield that looks to match the armor used. Whereas when in the mythical forest he did not use that armor and shield.
In addition, I saw Escanor who was in the form of a dragon manahan Mustang blows that shook the entire colosseum arena. I tried to get out of this predicament by running towards Escanor. While Razer followed me by trying to slash me several times but managed to avoid it. Finally Razer was left behind with the speed of my movement which was a thief.
Upon reaching Escanor's feet I jumped. I jumped up to the shoulder of Escanor who was fighting the Mustang.
"Hey what do you think?, why are their abilities so different from before?" I asked Escanor who was in trouble against the Mustang.
"Maybe this is their original ability, try to attack the boy there. Don't bother me," said Escanor who looked very upset.
Meanwhile, Razer finally reached the head of the Mustang, which was shaped like a castle fortress.
"Look, don't run away" said Razer, who was in the Mustang's head.
I do feel annoyed by this desperate situation. But actually me and Escanor have hidden some of our combined abilities. I promised Merlin I wouldn't use those abilities if I wasn't desperate. When I wanted to use one of those abilities I always remembered my promise with Merlin.
Then Escanor and I gave each other codes. I jumped up and Escanor's right hand began to throw me towards Razer. But Razer was ready to put her shield facing me. I kicked the shield and Razer quickly tried to slash me with a sword in her right hand. The slash hit a little bit of my leg so it scratched it.
"Hey hey, the same trick won't affect me. Show us our Mustang. Wall defense," Razer said after that using wall defense skills.
"Cih, the attack is getting stronger because of the wall defense skill," Escanor said very annoyed.
The superiority of Razer's wall defense makes the Mustang's body harder. The attack of the Mustang made some of Escanor's skin begin to erode.
While the shaking in the arena grew bigger to make some cracks on the ground. But the crowd cheered in excitement when they saw our match.
"Fog," I said, casting a mist magic.
Escanor and I were trying to get a few feet away from Razer and Mustang. While Mustang and Razer felt like they were looking for us in the mist magic I created.
After that we used the instinct fog skill so that Escanor fired a fire at the Mustang. While I jumped towards Razer before using the skill fog instinct.
Escanor's attack seemed to have hit the Mustang while I was trying to attack Razer. I slashed Razer with a knife that lit up like fire. Escanor deliberately aimed her attack right at the Mustang and the two knives in my hand. So we use the skill fog instinct as well as fire knife.
My right-handed slash was successfully restrained by Razer's shield. But it only managed to withstand a slash that was the size of his shield. While the part unprotected by the shield was slashed according to the length of my slash. The slashed part is the left shoulder and the right foot of Razer that is not covered with armor.
I saw the small scratches were very deep and like blisters due to the fire effects of Escanor. While Razer screams in pain with my attack that she suspects can be withheld. But my attack inflicted wounds on the part that was not covered in armor.
Meanwhile I continued with a spinning attack using the fire knife in my left hand. My second attack managed to hit the incision wound earlier so it became deeper. After that I kicked Razer's shield so it bounced.
Finally I stood on the head of the Mustang as well. Sweat kept dripping from my face and slowly the mist I created started to dissipate. I felt an incredible heat all around me. It turned out that it was the effects of Escanor's repeated bursts hitting the Mustang.
White smoke started to come out on some parts of the Mustang. Razer tried to get up from her position by propping up on her sword.
"Well, what a creepy skill," said Razer who had risen up and let out white smoke at the scratches I made.
Before Razer got up completely, I directly charged at her with the acceleration skill and the blade that was still burning like a blaze in both of my hands. Razer only survives behind the shield with wall defense skills but remains slashed in some unprotected parts.
Meanwhile the shock on the Mustang's body suddenly felt very tight.
"Hey brat quickly got out of there," said Escanor who was clawing at the Mustang with her fire claw skill.
I who was attacking around Razerpun immediately jumped away towards Escanor's shoulder.
"Divine Breath," Escanor said after which she let out a burst of light from her mouth.
I watched as the Mustang held back the Escanor burst with all its might. While Razer looks difficult to rise due to shocks in the body of the Mustang.
The audience was getting excited to scream. While the referee who watched our match up close looked very relaxed like we were having a picnic. He sat down while eating in the middle of the already ruined arena.
"Finally it's done as well" said the referee in a soft voice by me who was on Escanor's shoulders. The referee said that after the Mustang was thrown into the wall due to Escanor's bursts.
The body of the Mustang eventually disappeared slowly as if swallowed by the earth. Razer was seen leaning against the wall and was unconscious with injuries to her legs and shoulders.
"The winner of this match is the team of Reminiscences" said the referee, raising my hand.
My team won by six points because in the previous match Nadha lost to Misa. Robin wins against Lisa.
***
"Hey how are you?" ask me to Nadha who is on the podium of special audience participants.
"I'm fine" said Nadha cuek. It seemed like he was still upset over his defeat.
We are watching the match between Elric and Reza. Although it seems like you can guess which team will win the game.
I came last because I had to be treated first due to injuries in the match against Razer.
"Well I missed the first game" I said after seeing the match board showing that Glen had won against Distya.
"That's how it is, why do you remember so long?" ask instructor Lina to me while looking at the ongoing match.
"I went to the toilet for a while, instructor," I replied as I tried to sit next to Nadha.
It's a pity that I couldn't see that beautiful Distya I said in an unconscious heart that changed the look on my face to be very disappointed.
"Why is your face so disappointed?" nadha asked who saw the change in look on my face.
"Eh, no, there's nothing. I'm sorry I missed the first game" I replied reassuring Nadha.
Zera vs Dani's.
Zera attacked Dani until cornered on the east side of the arena. While in the distance there are two mythical monsters fighting, namely wyvern and demon.
Dani seems to be a scout. He had trouble keeping up with Zera's melee attacks. Finally Dani tried to use the acceleration skill to keep his distance and shoot a few arrows. But Zera managed to hold it with a round shield in his left hand.
"Venom," came the cry of the mythical demon monster. Instantly the ground that was under the wyvern and Zera changed color to dark. The dark color inside the ground was giving off bubbles that erupted after a few seconds.
It was a dark magic ruled by the demon race. The attack does not have a strong attack power but is dangerous if it is exposed to the effects of poison. The poison will slowly damage the nerves of the affected body and if too long will cause death.
Zera and the different wyverns of the place did not have time to dodge the magic. Instantly their bodies turned bluish due to being exposed to the effects of the venom of the venom magic.
But swiftly wyvern used the roar skill so that Dani and the demon could not move. Zera immediately used this opportunity to hold Dani. After that Zera pointed her sword at Dani's neck so as to make her surrender.
"It's a pity" said instructor Lina.
"What's the instructor sorry about?" ask Robin who wants to know.
"Dani was confused about what to do when Zera and her wyver were exposed to poison so the opportunity was immediately used by Zera to strike back," Lina explained to us who were taking note.
"So the experience of fighting is also very important in the match yes instructor," I said to instructor Lina.
"Well that's how it is. Therefore you need a lot of experience at your current age" instructor Lina said.
While we were chatting, we saw two boys entering the arena. The other one was wearing an Academy District uniform. The one opposite him was wearing Waltz Academy uniform.
Finally their match began. They instantly took out their respective mythical monsters. Elric with his mother named Alfonse. While Reza with his electorate called Electricity.
They both have the same job, a thief. But their speed is very different. Reza's speed is very fast. I assume that this has something to do with the mythical monster.
Even so Elric managed to defend and counter-attack several times. That super-fast fight suddenly stopped. Reza's face was cut open and bleeding. Elric was kicked by Reza's leg.
The crowd cheers suddenly accompanied the next attack. Now it was Elric's turn to try to take the initiative to attack. But at a very different speed Reza was behind Elric and tried to slash with the short sword in his right hand. The slash was held back by Elric using the knife in his left hand without turning around.
Meanwhile Alfonse fought Electric in the distance. Alfonse just stayed in place while Electricity circled around him. Electricity seemed to be looking for the gap of Alfonse but did not get the gap.
"Alfonse to," said Elric screaming as if this was their combined skill. The Alfonse Weapon which was a large two-handed pendang was split into three. Two in Alfonse's grasp while one suddenly appeared in Elric's right hand.
Next Alfonse attacked the Electricity that surrounded him with sword attacks. He slashed his sword in so many directions that his slash managed to hit Electricity and instantly slashed apart.
While Alfonse's attack was also there that led to Reza. So Reza also tries to avoid Alfonse's unexpected attack. But Reza was even hit by Elric's attack using Alfonse's sword.
Reza bounced towards Electricity which also bounced. They both broke out and eventually became unconscious. The electricity instantly disappeared like lightning striking.
The sound of the crowd shouting loudly closed the match on this second day. The pride points of the Academy District team are the team Kenang and Elric have the same 15 points. Razer 6 and Reza 0.
"The decisive match will take place on the third day, which is tomorrow. Don't forget to watch the deciding match tomorrow" said the host, who wore the organisers' uniforms to show the four best academies.
