Chapter 97: The Third Round (1/2)
”Match, End. Joshua Vargas(0). Jaya(6)”
”Cheyenne Aztec(6), freeroll.”
The referee announced the current points of the participants.
He took a three minutes break to give the injured participants time to heal, although, it wouldn't be nearly enough.
Dean Forst and Joshua Vargas had already left the med bay and sat with their bandaged body in their seats.
The both of them hoped that they would be the next of the freeroll so, they can have enough time to heal.
After his given time, the referee announced the next match, ”Round 3, First match, Cheyenne Aztec vs. Jaya.”
”The next match would be between Dean Forst and Joshua Vargas. Jake, freeroll!”
Following their call, Cheyenne and Jaya came up the stage.
Jake was certainly happy that it was his time on a freeroll. That way, he would be able to heal his damaged right arm.
So, while healing, he thought of who would win the match-up.
Ultimately, the favor was in the hands of Cheyenne.
She was more destructive than any other participants, but it could also be argued that Jaya was more deadly.
It all boils down to who can effectively take their chances when they see one.
A battle was not just about the stats provided to the crowd.
”Match, Start.”
....
The match starts with Jaya forcing Cheyenne to block a blade attack with her.
She did that quite easily and proceeds to pierce in her spear.
Midway, Cheyenne sensed an incoming attack and drew back her spear to evade it.
She ducks to sweep her opponent's feet, and yet again, she couldn't find her opponent.
”Up,” smiled Cheyenne, despite being pressured.
Strangely bending her body, Jaya's blade missed Cheyenne.
Jaya then jumped away, knowing that Cheyenne wouldn't give her more time to attack.
Switching into one of her stances, she positioned her left blade closer to her chest and her right blade more outward.
She did that just in time for the fast Cheyenne to appear in front of her.
Feinting a slash with her right blade, to which Cheyenne ducked too, she did a downward slash for Cheyenne, but it was caught precariously by fast Cheyenne.
By the time Cheyenne stood up, blood dripped from her cheeks.
She touched it and smiled. She had finally met an opponent that could rival her in close combat.
However...…..
Pumping up the energy in her body, she threw a kick that would be impossible for most participants to evade, but to her surprise, the kick was left untouched!
Jaya took advantage of the attack and bend to punch Cheyenne in the guts.
*Pu!!*
Her fist was filled with an insane amount of [Spirit Essence] when it reached Cheyenne's, therefore, Cheyenne spat out blood and instantly jumped away from the scene.
She decided to stop playing and end the game.
”[Sky Mortal]!”
The wind in the sky stopped and descend on Cheyenne. It encased her body from an ethereal armor, which could not be well seen de to the original nature of wind.
