193 Challenge Begins (1/2)

”You fucking bastard!”

Arrora shouted at a high pitch when she fell on the ground.

And she raised her head, she saw a huge wyvern running towards while showing its bloodied sharp teeth. She quickly rolled away to get herself out from being squashed like a bug by the wyvern.

After standing on her feet, she immediately moved back and got out of the Wyvern's reach to study its movements. Just like she studied the Wyvern's movements, it did the same too.

While keeping a safe distance from the wyvern, Arrora created a fireball and threw it at the wyvern, yet the fireball didn't even make a mark on its body.

However, the fireball angered the wyvern as it decided to fight her in close range. When the wyvern was running towards her, she used the bound energy to loosen the mud beneath the wyvern to throw it out of balance.

Just like she planned, the wyvern slipped when it stepped on the loosened mud. It was the opening she was looking for and when she saw the wyvern slip, she leaped towards the wyvern and threw her sword that she covered with the flames created by the bound energy aiming at the wyvern's eye.

Considering the sword was covered with the flames and she used all of her power in the throw, the sword flew and resembled a shooting star as it pierced straight through the wyvern's eye into its brain.

When she landed on the ground, the wyvern's lifeless body fell and a bolt of lightning landed before her. After a few seconds, she saw a shield lying on the ground where the bolt hit the ground.

It was a tenacious round shield, made from Azrite, one of the strongest metals in this world, it offered an agile safety guard, especially against crushing attacks and lunging attacks.

The shield's edges seemed to be enhanced with metal plating and had been decorated with golden studs.

On the surface of the shield, she saw some writings, runes, and symbols that she didn't understand.

Its center is embellished with zealous texts and symbols of personal accomplishments.

Looking at the shiny shield, one thing was clear to her and that was this shield has yet to see its first battle. Everything was in pristine condition, she couldn't guess if this shield is even meant for battle or for a ceremony, but one thing is for sure: this shield craves a master of its equal, her.

”What do I do with this tiny freakin dagger?”

Knight was staring and cursing at a shiny little dagger in his hand as wings and bloodied body parts of the wyvern lying around him.

He had many better and shinier daggers than this one in his space ring.

”I hope I'll get a better item than this crap ”

Knight put the dagger in the space ring Don got from the board because when they checked the rings, it would be suspicious if it was empty.

”The second wave”

He wondered how Don was doing in the arena as a creature that had an upper body of a human and from the hip, the creature had the body of a spider.

”You are a little bit ugly'

Knight couldn't help himself from saying this when he saw the six eyes on the creature's face.

Suddenly with lightning-fast, the creature attacked Knight with its whip-like tongue. Although Knight was quick enough to evade the tongue, it grazed his shoulder and caused a burn wound.

Fortunately, just like Don, he was also immune to poisons or this attack would have caused his life. At the same moment, the three tiger cubs ran away from the creature and entered the white light in the corner of the room to forfeit the challenge, just like the tigress instructed them to do.

Before the tiger cubs met the three of them, she told them that they could come with her, and the moment they got to wave two, they had to exit from the arena since they were still too little to face challenges like this.

The cubs didn't get cocky when they defeated the wyvern because it took all their power to cast a spell that gave them the ability to produce a lightning bolt from the mouth and hit the wyvern.

She wouldn't have brought the cubs and let them take part in one challenge if they didn't beg her to let them. Since this place prevents anyone from fighting outside the arena and the cubs needed to start somewhere to get battle experience, she agreed to take them with her.

Besides the creature freaked out the cubs as they bolted towards the gateway the moment they saw the creature. They didn't even take their rewards for beating the wyvern.

After leaving the arena, the cubs saw a group of beasts and youths standing outside and watching the projections. Just like the tigress said, they strolled into the side of the beasts and stood with them.

The cubs cheered for Arrora and the tigress but wanted Don and Knight to get some wounds before beating the creature because they defeated the tigress in the duel.

Currently, Knight was running around the creature to study its attacks and movements just like he did to the wyvern. The creature mainly used its tongue and its two legs to attack. The tongue was coated in poison and the hands produced a thick white web to stop the opponent from moving.

After running around for a few moments, Knight found its weak point as he saw the creature do its best to prevent him from getting closer to it.

And when Knight saw the tongue attack, he quickly covered his hands in battle energy and grabbed the tongue.

”Eeeeeehhhllll”
