Chapter 257 - Battle For Blood (IV) (1/2)

BlackBlaze is not just an expert in name, he is proving even in the early times that he is indeed not just a typical player. He is someone who already calculated things using his existing abilities and trying to make use of them to surprise his enemies. And it seems he caught me in one of those situations.

He took advantage of my vulnerability during the casting time of the [Earthshaker] where I will be in a vulnerable moment and cast a quick [Wind Blade]. However, it was a pity that I am not just going to let them do what he thinks he can do. When the [Wind Blade] is almost going to hit me, the [Earthshaker] casting time also ended however, deflecting it with anything isn't going to help me and the small delay is also a piece of bad news to me. Thankfully, there is one more trump card that I have saved up in my arsenal.

Before the [Wind Blade] hit me, I decided to use the secret skill that I recently obtained after managing to fulfill its requirements.

[Magic Jammer]!

DENG!

The [Wind Blade] that was supposed to damage me or worse, can kill me, didn't do a thing to my body and it was like it hit a rock and disappeared.

”WHAT?!”

BlackBlaze was stunned as he didn't expect his [Wind Blade] to do no damage at all.

”Where are you looking?”

Before BlackBlaze can react the flaming sword in my hand is already pierced on his chest. The flames intensified and his health slowly goes down before he knew it.

”Damn, I didn't expect this but it was my loss...”

”You pressured me enough and is quite clever in keeping me on toes with your attacks. Not bad at all! You are a worthy opponent!”

”Heh...”

I quickly ended the battle by pulling the sword upwards, slicing his torso up to the head into two.

”AND WE ARE DONE! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! AS ALWAYS, OUR WINNER IS NONE OTHER THAN BLADEHEART! HE IS NOW GOING TO BE IN THE SEMI-FINALS!”

I raised my sword as the announcement was made and everyone started cheering, the whole arena is shaking from the cheers alone. And I am also now ready to go to the semi-finals.

The next battle ended quickly than expected and soon enough, six players are left behind out of all the people who participated. We are given a few minutes to rest and the audience also went to ”Lunch Break” too. It is a good way to keep the players who played to rest for a bit before the big fight.

I left the Arena for a bit since there are still 2 hours left before the announcement for the semi-finalists are announced. They are making it longer as usual due to all the players who joined. It would be not a good idea to keep the arena running without letting the ”gladiators” rest. Even the audience needed some breaks too.

As I get out of the arena, my parents and my friends are all waiting for me.

”As expected of my son! You are not just showing off your abilities! You are quite a badass in that last battle too!” My father praised me a lot and pat my back hard that I coughed a bit after choking from his slight pat.

”Dear, I know you want to pat our son for the show he dominated but you should be controlling your strength. You are a game character and your simple pat might break his in-game character's bones!” My mother scolded my father.
