Chapter 134 - One On One (1/2)

Swing.

Thanks to Lars' attack, Evan was able to cut off the ”Bloody Berserker's” hand, but the situation was worse than ever. First, the monster was able to seriously wound Chloe and drink her blood, and then it cracked down on Enni and Lars. Thanks to the blood it had drunk, the ”Bloody Berserker” became much stronger than at the beginning of the round.

Whoosh.

After his successful attack, Evan landed several more blows. He wasn't about to let the ”Bloody Berserker” go. Evan had to kill it right now, or he would have no more chance to win. If the ”Bloody Berserker” drank any more blood, Evan definitely couldn't do anything to it alone.

Bam. Bam. Bam.

Evan swung his scythe at lightning speed and struck, aiming for the left side of the monster's chest. The monster's armor was destroyed in this area, which meant it was the most vulnerable spot.

The scythe's white blade came down on the ”Bloody Berserker”, but the monster reacted quickly and blocked the blow. Evan turned and swung once more, but even that blow failed to hit its target.

With each attack Evan accelerated and his scythe grew faster and faster, like an icy lightning bolt of death.

Bam. Bam. Bam.

The ”Bloody Berserker” was just as fast as Evan, blocking every blow from the young man. But, the monster's sword was not capable of withstanding Evan's attacks indefinitely. Gradually, the scars appeared on the blade of the sword, and several pieces of metal fell off. Moreover, the ice had already covered about a third of the weapon. If this continued, the ”Bloody Berserker” would be left unarmed. Evan will simply destroy its sword with an endless series of his attacks.

...

The teachers were surprised by the situation, they hadn`t expected it to turn out like this. Evan was the only one left on the battlefield, and, frankly, he had very little chance of winning.

”They acted so cohesively, attacked all together, destroyed some of his armor and even inflicted some very serious wounds. But, in the end, in just a few seconds, the ”Bloody Berserker” took out everyone but Evan. Honestly, I haven`t even expected something like that to happen.” The man in the silver mantle said seriously.

”I agree, I think these four are the best of the contestants over the last few years. It's sad that it ended up this way. On the other hand, they`ve done a great job. I think each of them will soon become one of the best students at the Academy.” The girl in the silver mantle said calmly.

”Well, their opponent`s very serious. Frankly, I'm surprised they could make it this far. To fight monsters like the ”Bloody Berserker”, it`s necessary to have some experience, which they haven`t had yet. If they had acted more carefully, the outcome would have been different.” The man in the silver mantle said slowly.

The teachers watched each contestant closely in this ordeal and realized that it was almost over. The only one left in the arena was Evan.

”Looks like I won't have to fulfill anyone's request...” Arabella mumbled sleepily as she watched Evan. The young man was swinging his scythe without stopping, and the ”Bloody Berserker” blocked his attacks time after time.

”Is that what you think? Don't you really believe Evan has a chance of winning?” Draven said in amazement.

He believed that although the young man's situation was extremely difficult, one should never give up prematurely. The ”Bloody Berserker” was a very formidable opponent, but even it could be defeated.

Arabella answered nothing, but Arve joined their conversation.

”Draven, you must understand that only a miracle or an unexpected occurrence can help Evan win.” Arve said seriously, watching Evan carefully.

Draven nodded.
