Chapter 119 - Silence (1/2)

A strong smell of iron was filled in the air at the arena. Fights were going on in every section of the arena floor. The third-year students were being kept busy by numerous members of the Dark Guild. The numbers had increased once the knights from outside had gone to escort the remaining citizens.

”When are we going to get any backup!” Harry shouted as he defended another attack.

Mathew, Josh and Jake had also come down from the stands, to help out the students who were fighting against the Dark Guild members on the ground. Mathew knew that if the academy was going to send reinforcements that they should have been here by now.

Either the academy and city were in a worse situation then Mathew thought or they had been abandoned by the academy. Mathew chose to not say these words out loud for fear of the student's morale.

Although the students were tough, they were outnumbered and the Dark guild members were highly skilled but not only that the Dark guild members were fighting strangely. It didn't seem like they were trying to kill their opponents but instead were buying time for something.

Sir K noticed that Mathew was very skilful and decided to stay near him so the two of them could communicate.

”I notice the badge you are wearing, are you a general for the Alure kingdom Army?” Sir K asked as he slashed at another Dark guild member running at him.

Mathew pushed away another Dark Guild member with a small mini water wave.

”Yes, and I think I know what you are going to ask me. The strange power is moving fast, I think at most we have 15 minutes.”

”Well, we better get moving then.”

Suddenly Sir K and Mathew seemed to move into another gear. They attacked harder and faster at the remaining Dark Guild members as if their life depended on it. The others seeing this was inspired and they too started to attack more aggressively.

Badger and Sloth were still fighting against the two sisters. They were quick and fast and now that they were working as a team, they were almost untouchable. The two sisters couldn't believe it.

”How, we beat you so easily in the tournament!” Aqua screamed as she blocked an attack.

Badger and Sloth didn't say anything, they knew they had the two sisters on their back foot.

Aqua then went for a strike with her metal fan. Badger blocked the strike and then kicked her hand and fan in the air. While doing so, Badger performed a backflip over his brother Sloth. Now Sloth could see Aqua was wide open and he dashed in stabbing aqua in the stomach.

Violet screamed in response to seeing her sister's blood fall to the floor. She recklessly charged in at Sloth completely forgetting about Badger, who was now directly behind her.

”Goodnight,” Badger said as he sliced at the back of her neck.

The two sisters then fell to the ground at the same time. Badger and Sloth were tired and worn out. Working together they were skilful but doing so many acrobatics stunts in the middle of fight wore them down quickly, they knew they needed to finish their fight as soon as possible.
