Chapter 269 Warm-up Match 8 (1/2)

Good, it's coming!

Nancy was not surprised to see this golden beam. Instead, she was happy. Before, she was very hesitant because Lize didn't seem to make any movements. It meant that she could also make a movement at any time, and this would be deadly for mercenary like Nancy. Not to mention, her abnormality was also related to Lize. Nancy heightened her vigilance, afraid that she might fell into the same trap when she attacked again. However, since Lize had made her move now, then it meant she had nothing hidden under her sleeve. So, facing the golden beam, Nancy still rushed forward toward Lize.

It had to be said that Nancy's skill was really good. She moved up and down to avoid the golden beam and quickly shortened the distance between them. Seeing Nancy, who was going to overturn the situation, the mercenaries around them also began to cheer loudly. As a mercenary, they certainly understood the situation that was happening now. Lize was currently releasing the spell and definitely wouldn't be able to dodge. If her spell was interrupted, it would also affect her severely. They loudly applauded because they didn't expect that Nancy would be able to improvise and dodge the golden beam to grasp this opportunity. Even though these people didn't really support Nancy, but the way Lize fought was really too weird, so the vast majority of people did not understand what was going on. There were a few people who could somewhat guess what was happening, but they also hoped to see more. After all, it was their first time seeing a Cleric fight.

Got it!

Under the cheering crowds, Nancy had reached the effective range to launch an attack. Her heart felt at joy, and at the same time she waved the shining silver lance in her hand once again. She was no longer dodging; instead, she thrust her spear forward. Obviously, she was aiming for an-eye-for-an-eye attack. At this point, Rhode also noticed that Lize's left hand suddenly moved.

A dark mist wrapped around Nancy's body and instantly disappeared.

Nancy's body suddenly staggered. She felt that she had completely lost her strength and her body felt weak. However, she had no time to think about what was going on. She was startled and subconsciously looked up, only to see the golden light shining in the sky.

In the next moment, Nancy's figure was completely enveloped in it.

Boom!

A dull crashing sound broke out. It wasn't loud, but it could clearly be heard. Because at the moment Nancy was hit, those mercenaries who were cheering around her stopped moving like an idiot and blankly stared at the ring.

The smoke dispersed and finally, they could see what happened in the ring. Nancy was unconscious. Soon, the referee from the Mercenary Association came over to confirm the situation. After making sure that Nancy had really fainted, they immediately announced Lize's victory. However, the sound of applause wasn't as loud as Marlene's battle. Although many ordinary people were still cheering loudly, the mercenaries fell into a dead silence.

At the moment, these mercenaries were helplessly watching Lize, who was standing in the ring. They were feeling complicated and didn't know what to say. Everyone there was a mercenary who risked their lives to fight everyday. That was why they could somewhat understand what was happening. However, they were confused. In their opinion, Marlene's victory was something inevitable since she was a mage and a noble Middle Circle mage on top of it. Her identity was enough to suppress all of them; that's why they could easily accept the loss.

However, Lize was a Cleric. Although Clerics held a very important job in mercenary groups, they had no combat ability. Seeing that Lize was actually able to defeat a mercenary group's elite easily without attacking, all of them had fallen into disbelief because they just couldn't figure out how she did it.

People would always be afraid of the unknown. Clerics were a non-combat class, so people didn't really have a deep understanding of it. Now, they finally found out that Lize was actually a wolf in sheep's clothing. They suddenly panicked and didn't know what to do.

However, they didn't show it. On the other hand, the elite mercenaries who were on the other side of the ring didn't panic, but felt afraid. Unlike from those who sat around the stage to watch the excitement, they had to go into the ring and continue to fight! Originally, they already found it strange for a Cleric to fight. In addition, Nancy's defeat also made them feel at a loss. As the first one who fought, Nancy already showed them just how embarrassing it was to lose in the hands of a Cleric. This was the reason why they were afraid of going into the ring.

It was understandable if Nancy lost after putting up a fight and the result showed that her strength was inferior to the other party's. But in fact, Nancy's performance was just like a that of a clown's. She was mocked until the end, and even if she didn't lose her consciousness, she would probably want to kill herself. Fortunately, Nancy was able to avoid this humiliation temporarily. However, it didn't mean that other people could do the same.

Who was next?

They were looking at each other. None of them wanted to disgrace themselves. If this situation happened to other people, they might only think of it as a joke. But since it actually happened to themselves, it could be worse than death.

It seemed like Lize had achieved a complete mastery in controlling her spirit power.

Rhode didn't bother about what happened in the ring. After Lize released her last blow, he immediately felt relieved. Rhode could be sure that the next four people were certainly not her match.
