Chapter 133 - The Last One (1/2)

The ”Bloody Berserker” was at the end of its powers, it needed to drink some blood urgently. It chose Chloe as its target. The girl was closest to it, while Enni, Lars, and Evan were quite far away.

Thanks to Evan, Chloe had her sword again, she didn't have much strength left, but anyway she would be able to block the monster's blow. Initially Chloe wanted to run away, but when she saw the speed of the monster, she realized that she had no choice but to take the blow.

…

”It looks like we'll finally see the denouement soon and find out how it all ends. I hope one of them can kill the monster, it will be incredible!” The man in the platinum mantle said excitedly.

”Their teamwork`s pretty good. I think they were a little unlucky. If the ”Bloody Berserker” hadn't gotten out of that trap, it'd be dead by now.” The girl in the silver mantle said calmly.

”I think the girls rushed the attack for nothing. All they had to do, was stick together and wait for their opponent to fall without strength. Now almost all of them are wounded and far away from each other. We may not have a winner this time.”

”I agree, but I want to draw your attention to the fact that the ”Bloody Berserker” is a very serious opponent. It was weakened, but when you`re fighting it, you have to be careful not to get any wounds or your chances of winning will become much less.”

”Draven, what do you think? Will they kill the ”Bloody Berserker” or will they lose?” Arabella was curious about Draven's opinion.

Draven calmly replied, ”It all depends on individual performance. The ”Bloody Berserker” is unlikely to allow them to attack it all together again, which is why it attacked Chloe. It will try to get rid of the only one who can stop it for a while.”

”And what about you, Arve? Do you believe they will win?” Arabella asked Arve`s opinion.

Arve said thoughtfully: ”If nothing changes and they lose Chloe, they certainly won't win. If the ”Bloody Berserker” drinks some blood, it'll be full of energy again, but as for them, they'll lose a valuable ally. Moreover, the contestants are gradually approaching their limit. With each passing minute they have less strength and less mana, and they have already had some wounds.”

Arve spoke slowly and calmly, as if he wasn't at all interested in this duel. But, in fact, he was paying close attention to every person in the arena, he was very pleased with the performance of this year's competitors.  The ”Bloody Berserker” was a very formidable opponent, which meant that against him it was necessary to show all his abilities.

...

Not a few seconds later, the ”Bloody Berserker” rushed towards Chloe and attacked the girl. Chloe's sword was immediately covered in a thick layer of stone.

Whoosh.

The monster struck a vertical blow, but the girl didn't block it. She quickly jumped aside and waited for the next blow. Chloe wasn't about to repeat her previous mistakes and lose her sword. Her comrades wouldn't get to her until some time later, she needed to hold out for at least ten seconds.

Bam.

Suddenly the ”Bloody Berserker” turned and swung again. The girl tried to dodge, but the edge of the sword grazed her left arm. It was a shallow cut, but it bled all the same.

<Damn! Chloe thought to herself and tried to run away from the monster.

When the ”Bloody Berserker” saw the scarlet blood slowly flowing on the girl's hand, it got mad.

Crack.

The ground beneath the monster's feet cracked and he reached the girl at lightning speed. Now it didn`t want to kill her, but to drink her blood.

Swing.

The ”Bloody Berserker” swung its sword. Chloe tried to dodge, but just as she was about to do so, she felt a sharp pain in her arm.
