Chapter 375 - Re: Second Match (3) (2/2)
Auron's opponent realized that his close combat skill was lower than Auron. He tried to distance himself from Auron. However, he didn't give up. He still had something to rely on, his equipment and his fire magic.
While jumping backward, Auron's opponent used [Flame Pillar] to stop Auron from chasing him. Seeing the flame blasted out from the ground, Auron had no choice but to stop advancing forward.
Auron had to take a detour or wait until the [Flame Pillar] gone before he could chase his opponent again. But, no matter what Auron chose, it would already be too late, except if he chose to charge forwards and didn't care about his body.
Auron would not choose the option to charge through the [Flame Pillar]. It was still early in the match and there was still a long way before the match end. He would not want to act so recklessly.
With no other option, Auron canceled his advance and retreat. The gap between the two of them widened.
Auron would be at a disadvantage in the battle of spells, but he still chose this option to make a plan first. With his opponent realized his disadvantages in close combat fighting, his opponent would desperately prevent them from fighting in close combat. Because of that, Auron had to make a plan for defeating his opponent in one swoop.
Auron's opponent threw several fire spells at Auron. Of course, Auron would not face the spells head-on. Instead, he moved to the side to avoid the spell.
After two spells from his opponent, Auron tried to charge forward. However, his opponent already aware of that. Auron's opponent immediately created a [Flame Pillar] to stop Auron from advancing and also widen their distance.
This pull and retreat happened for several times. It was like seeing a boxing match where an out-fighter and an in-fighter boxer fight. What made its difference was wide of the arena and the distance that the out-fighter could attack from.
The battle lasted for 10 minutes. The opponent began to feel the pressure. With many attacks, even though Auron could not get close to him, but he also could not hit Auron. His heartbeats started to beat faster as his nervous built up.
Auron who had a huge experience facing this kind of battle was calm. He slowly advanced although his opponent always retreated.
Slowly but surely, Auron led the opponent to the edge of the arena. The opponent still could escape to the side, but Auron arranged his movement so that his opponent could not escape too far.
The opponent didn't realize that he was being led by Auron as he kept on throwing his spell and maintained his distance from Auron.
5 minutes later, the opponent had realized something wrong. However, it was already too late for him. He was already cornered by Auron. Alice is General Elbert's granddaughter
