413 Marlin Show (1/2)

”As swift as the wind!? But what a pity that he chose the wrong opponent. If he chose Boroo as his opponent, there is a slight chance for him to win. But against Marlin…”

Randy shook his head after hearing Pristine's story about Alwin.

It was not that Randy underestimated Alwin, it was just Marlin was different level compared to Alwin. After all, Marlin was at the verge of breaking through to Saint Grade Beastmen. So the percentage of Alwin winning against Marlin basically nil.

But there was someone who disagreed at Randy's words. It was Pristine of course.

”But Alwin is at the advantage now! How can you say the chance of Alwin winning is nil!?” Pristine retorted as what she saw was completely different from what Randy said.

Hearing Pristine's retort, Randy looked back. Pristine showed a face that said, ”I'm right, you're wrong!”

After that, he looked toward Long Xinya who was a seat away before him. Long Xinya seemed to notice Randy's gaze and she turned her head toward him with a look ”What!?”. It was as if she was picking a fight with him.

Randy shook his head and muttered, ”Not only you inherited your knowledge to her, but you inherited your habit as well to her!”

Yes, in the past, when Long Xinya just joined Happy Guild. She always questioned each decision he made. She would always use every chance she had to attack, though she always obeyed his order. Now, Pristine also always questioned his judgment too and this was not the first time at that.

Zhen Yi let out a giggled after hearing her husband's murmur. She did feel the same feeling when Pristine retorted while Long Xinya acted as she heard nothing. As for Pristine, she was clueless about what the three talked about.

…

Yes, Pristine was not retorting baselessly. At the stage, it was clear Alwin was pushing Marlin back slowly. Even though what could be heard was only a sound of metal clashed each other which indicated Alwin's attack was successfully blocked.

However, if one looked clearly, Marlin already retreated for 5 steps in less than a minute. So it could be said Alwin was in the advantage. Moreover, Marlin could not launch a counterattack even once toward Alwin.

...

2 minutes passed since Alwin started his attack, yet he only managed to push Marlin a little. Even though the outsider could see he was an advantage, but it was no the case.

Alwin felt suffocated as he relentlessly attacked Marlin. He felt that every his moves were being read by Marlin.

”I can feel it. I can feel it that…” the monkey was perfectly blocked each of his attacks. Alwin anxiously thought. But he knew that he could not rush thing. He had to calm down and thought another countermeasure.

'If my swift attack doesn't work, then how about this, '

Alwin took a deep breath and this time, he picked up his speed. He stopped attacking Marlin head-on but using his movement speed to launch an overwhelming attack from all sides.

Alwin was circling Marlin, but he also did launch a barrage of sword attack. The other guilds could see each Alwin attack was imbued with Wind Elemental Power. The more spectator looked at the fight, the more excited they became.

They could see Marlin was having a hard time dealing against Alwin. However, as the onlookers became excited, but there was one person became even more frustrated. It was Alwin, he became frustrated as his sword failed to land a single hot on Marlin. He felt Marlin perfectly reflected his sword with ease. Alwin also could feel that Marlin was still calm and he felt the title of Swift Sword was perfectly fit for this monkey rather than him.

Marlin did stop his attack despite feeling anxious and frustrated. But then, suddenly, Marlin changed his movement and it caught Alwin off guard.

With the faster and swifter attack, the tip of Marlin's golden stick landed on Alwin's belly.

”Uwackk!!”

Alwin released a weird voice as his belly was hit. But then, he felt his body floated on the air with a hand was holding his right foot.

It was too fast even Alwin did not know what happened until his body landed outside the stage.

Bugh!

Alwin's body landed on the ground and he had a bewildered look on his face. It happened too fast and he could not proceed with what happened at all.

”Happy Guild win!” The referee immediately announced the winner right after Alwin's body landed on the ground.

Not only Alwin, but the spectators also bewildered with the sudden change. Marlin who ”looked like” being cornered suddenly turned the fight with him as the winner.

But looking Marlin current condition who gasped for a breath, the spectators came with a conclusion Alwin was too careless.

Alwin was winning, but because he thought he had won the match, he lowered his guard down, and Marlin used this chance to take Alwin down.

Marlin bowed his head to the audience, but everyone could see Marlin seemed at his limit as he kept gasping for breath. After that, Marlin walked toward the Happy Guild, but there was a voice which made Marlin's step halted.

”Wait! Your next opponent is me! So you don't need to get back to your seat!”
