Chapter 744: Osborne versus Selina part 1 (1/2)
Proofreader: M_W Miss Fierce
At this moment, Osborne and Selina prepared themselves for their fight against each other. Selina took out her sword and equipped herself with the 5-Star level armor she had once used during her fight against Faye in the first round. On the other hand, Osborne used every passing second to recuperate more stamina and energy.
Finally, the staff asked, ”Are you both ready?”
”Always been born ready,” Osborne responded.
”I have long been waiting for our fight,” Selina put her hand forward and taunted Osborne.
”Since both of you are ready, then you may begin!” The staff announced the start of the battle as he then quickly distanced himself to a safe enough location.
Hearing the staff's announcement, both Osborne and Selina swiftly lunged themselves towards each other.
BOOOMMM!
Soon, a loud explosion echoed throughout the stage as Osborne and Selina's weapon clashed with one another. It was right after followed by a series of metal hitting against metal sound.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
A few moments later, Osborne and Selina suddenly jumped away from each other.
”So, they are finally done accessing the other's current state,” Leo remarked.
”It is now time for the main show,” Edgar Pierce murmured a similar thought as Guild Leader Loki.
In the next moment, Osborne and Selina lunged themselves towards each other once again.
BOOOOM! BOOOOM! BOOOOM!
This time, a series of loud explosions sounded everything Osborne and Selina exchanged their attacks. Their clashing was so intense that fierce wind would blow outward every time they clashed, and a few of the tiles on the stage got damage, with a few pieces of stones getting cut off.
Even the staff who was standing nearby couldn't help himself from flying a bit more distance away from Osborne and Selina, lest he would get himself involved in their intense fight and cause some unnecessary trouble to the two that might affect the final outcome of their fight. Anyways, with his cultivation level, he could still view clearly their fight even if he was standing in the spectators' stand. The only reason he is this close is to get in time and prevent any accidents from happening, for example, the death of a participant. After all, they are very strict with regards to such an important matter, especially considering the fact that all the participants in the Battle Competition are geniuses of their respective forces. Also, if one of them dies, it would undoubtedly affect many things in the future.
”I didn't expect that you'd be this strong, Selina,” Osborne expressed, a bit surprised.
”This is not yet my full strength,” Selina jumped a few meters away. She gathered some Mana on her sword upon landing on the ground and soon cast, ”Flaming Slash!”
Whoooooosh!
A crescent wave of fire swiftly shoots in Osborne's direction.
Seeing this, Osborne quickly cast, ”Earth wall!”
Whoooosh! Whoooosh! Whoooosh!
A few earth walls have begun rising from the ground in a straight line.
Booom! Booom! Booom!
The earth walls that Osborne had created were immediately destroyed upon making contact with the Flaming Slash spell from Selina. As a result, there was no longer any shield protecting Osborne.
However, Osborne was already raising a shield when the last earth wall was destroyed. Thus, he wasn't wholly unprotected.
Boooom!
Whooosh! Whooosh!
A loud explosion echoed all throughout the stage as Osborne received the Flaming Slash spell with his shield. Along with that explosion were a series of muffled sounds of fire being shoot towards different directions in front of Osborne, which immediately covered the ground in flames and charred it. While, these flames created smokes that blocked everyone's sight of Osborne, only allowing them to see a vague image of his tall figure under the cover of the thick smoke.
”Did he lose?”
”Is it already over?”
”Was he defeated?”
