Chapter 174 - Hitting The Target (1/2)

Evan struggled to his feet and looked at Freya, puzzled. At that moment, the spectators in the stands were shouting something, and the girl was saying something to him, but he couldn't make out the words. Suddenly all the noise faded into the background, and all he could see was Freya.

The girl sighed, and her legs tensed. She lunged toward Evan with such force that there were many cracks in the ground. She was moving fast, unusually fast, this attack was going to end their fight. Evan watched intently as Freya ran toward him. Unlike last time, now he could see her movements quite clearly.

Whoosh.

The girl swung her iron fist, but when her punch almost reached its target, Evan took exactly half a step back. It was enough for Freya's fist to pass within an inch of him.

In one precise movement, Evan knocked Freya off balance. Next, Evan's fist was covered in a layer of ice and he punched her in the stomach with all his might. Freya vomited blood, but she quickly was okay. She instantly regained her balance and hit Evan again, but Evan's palm was on her face by then.

Bam.

Evan pushed Freya and knocked her to the ground. The girl was seriously wounded, but she wasn't going to give up.  The wounds like that couldn't stop her.

The young man didn't have time to remove his hand from Freya's face and attack her again. Suddenly the girl caught his wrist and used a leglock. Evan saw her movements, but there was nothing he could do about them. Freya had a vicelike grip.

Crack.

The girl checked Evan's arm and instantly broke it. There was a loud crack, and Evan's face contorted in pain, he wanted to free his arm, but suddenly Freya herself loosened her grip.

Bam.

She kicked Evan in the chest, and the young man flew aside like a missile.

Freya got up from the ground and smirked, and said: ”What was that? I'm amazed, but you're a long way from me...”

Before Freya could finish speaking, a purple beam was already flying towards her. Freya didn't have time to dodge, so she put her arms out in front of her. Since they were covered in a layer of metal, this block looked like an actual shield.

Boom.

The beam reached its target, and there was a deafening explosion. The ”One-Eyed Raven Beam” was a very powerful spell, but Freya could withstand it. She was badly burned, and the skin on her hands burned, but the rest of her body was unharmed. She was quite capable of continuing to fight.

At the same time, Evan slowly rose from the ground. He was already out of the strange state he had been in recently and now Freya was like a lightning to him again.

”So, lad, shall we move on to the next round?” Freya spoke cheerfully, going to attack Evan, but to her surprise, the young man raised his hand and calmly said:

”I give up.”

At the same moment, the arena subsided. Evan was serious, he wasn't joking, and everyone present understood that.
