Chapter Fourteen

The arena was clear and the fighters were ready to start. Vorin finished with the introductions and the match was about to commence.

“Begin!” and spectators fixed their eyes on the arena.

Vallery dashed at Mordan right away. She had an axe and a shield, which was unusual. Most of the time, people use a sword in one hand and a shield in the other hand. It is a good balance between the defense and offense. You protect yourself with a shield and cut or slice your enemy bit by bit, slowly wearing them down.

But having an axe offered a different type of advantage. Blows from an axe were usually more powerful, and in the hands of a skilled fighter, it was really difficult to defend against it. Not to mention, you could always use a shield as another form of weapon.

This became evident for Mordan right away. Having two axes is great if you're attacking. But it took all he had, to defend against Vallery's powerful blows.

At the same time, Alaran tried to get close to Htilil but it became a challenge right from the start. He missed every swing of his sword. Each time Alaran was about to land a blow, Htilil vanished from his sight and appeared somewhere else. As much as he tried, his blade was slicing through the thin air, without landing a blow.

Htilil didn't mind Alaran's attacks at all. On the contrary, she seemed to have fun seeing him swing left and right. To add to her game, Htilil would blow a kiss to Alaran every now and then, either taunting or encouraging him to keep trying.

Even if it was fun to watch, I sensed something more than a simple hand wave with an invincible kiss. It was faint and hard to notice, but each time Htilil blew a kiss, a wave of magical energy was released as well. Similar to casting a spell, but to her opponent it probably felt like a warm breeze of wind.

It didn't take long to see what was happening to Alaran. His movements became slower and less accurate. After one more swing through thin air, he froze on the spot, unable to move. Htilil giggled cheekily, walked close to Alaran, and whispered something in his ear.

Seeing Htilil so close to her Master, Vallery figured he might be in trouble. She blocked the next swing from Mordan, pushed him away, and charged at Htilil. What happened next shocked the entire arena.

- 'Bang!' - Alaran blocked Vallery's attack to protect Htilil.

“What?” even the other participants couldn't believe their eyes.

Ghm… So that's what she was doing. That doesn't look good.

I was almost convinced about who Htilil really was after seeing what happened. It's possible I was mistaken of course, and I wished I was. But if not, I wondered how did Mordan got her to agree to partner with him. There's a hefty price to pay for that.

All eyes were on Alaran and Vallery at this point. And the main reason for that was because Alaran was attacking his own companion.
