Chapter 365 - First Match (3) (1/2)
The opponent was confused by the sudden boosted in Auron's speed. He looked at Auron [Sloth]'s effect. It had not ended yet.
Meanwhile, his [Sloth] was one level stronger than Auron. That was why his [Sloth] should not end yet.
”How could he move faster?” This was what inside Auron's opponent's mind.
It was a mystery to Auron's opponent. However, he didn't have the luxury to think about it right now. Auron had already arrived in front of him.
Auron slashed out his dagger to the opponent's face. The opponent saw this. He hurriedly raised his dagger in front of him to receive Auron's attack.
Clang... A clashing sound of two daggers was heard. However, the fight didn't end there. Auron already knew that the opponent could block this attack even if he had the element of surprise. What Auron aimed at was the second attack.
A [Fire Lance] stormed to Auron's opponent's chest. The enemy was already caught in surprise by Auron's first attack. That was why he was one step slower. With Auron launched his second attack, the enemy could not react in time. The [Fire Lance] cleanly hit the opponent's chest.
A direct hit in such a close range made the [Fire Lance]'s power blown the opponent's away. The opponent's crashed to the arena's floor. He was in pain. But, he quickly stood up.
Auron would not let these advantages go away. He kept on pressuring the opponent. When the opponent stood up, Auron already arrived by the opponent's side and ready to throw another attack.
The opponent also didn't want to be Auron's punching bag. It returned an attack using [Ice Bolt]. In such a close range, it was usually effective to throw a quick spell such as this. It could disrupt the opponent's rhythm if they were not ready.
This was a textbook way for a mage to escape such a situation. This method could really work. However, it would only work if the opponent was alone and didn't aware of the situation.
As Auron was fully concentrated on the fight, he could saw the sign when his opponent's creating the [Ice Bolt]. Auron quickly moved away and chanted [Earth Spike].
The enemy threw the [Ice Bolt] in panic. He hoped that this [Ice Bolt] could really hit Auron. However, it would not be that easy for such thought to happen. Moreover, with Auron completely on guard.
The [Ice Bolt] completely lost its target. Meanwhile, the [Earth Spike] that Auron's chanted already pierced from the ground and targeted the opponent's head.
Seeing the incoming [Earth Spike], the opponent moved his head to avoid the attack. Unfortunately, it was not perfect. The [Earth Spike] managed to graze the opponent's right cheek and also hurt the opponent's ear's lobe.
Blood came out from the wound. However, the fight didn't over right there. Auron already coming forward to the enemy. The enemy was an experienced soldier. Such wounds were hurt, but it would not be enough to make him gave up.
