New Life Online 94 Silent And Roar

-Order of Light Aren

Our dream to be the champion might be just a dream and not as easy as we thought. I can really tell that we've come this far and the play time difference is really a large gap between us to them. Their experience in the game helps them beat us but, of course, I won't just sulk here and do nothing. I will take the position of the strongest player if I can.

That's me mumbling non-sense again. Anyway, the next match will start soon.

"The last fight was awesome and most of us really can't believe that even Aurora, the strongest player had a hard time winning. Oh well, there are a lot of surprises in this month's tournament. Ok, so the next match will start now and the partic.i.p.ants are Maisie, the Silent Swordsman, and Drake, The Dragon's Roar and the guild leader of Dragoons!" She excitedly announced. I'm not yet familiar with the partic.i.p.ants and I haven't heard of Maisie yet. Maybe I've just missed something here.

The partic.i.p.ants entered the arena. The other partic.i.p.ants look familiar... It's the red hooded girl! I didn't expect she could come this far. I'm not quite sure about Drake's abilities but the red hooded girl can use powerful sword style techniques. Drake is wearing his full-scale armor and Maisie as usual wear her outfit.

Drake (390)

Specialty: Top-tier melee combat abilities. Good knockback and stun abilities. Excels the most when riding a mount.

VS

Maisie (350)

Specialty: Top-tier melee combat abilities. Has some sort of own fighting style. Doesn't care about her defense and focused on offense.

"Ready, Fight!" Aika announced the start of the fight.

"That girl is mysterious right? She made it this far with just simply using her unique swordsmans.h.i.+p and defeating her enemies in just a flash and most of them ended up dead. She's cruel but elegant at the same time. What do you think Mr. Maximus?" Aika asked the old geezer.

"She's famous in their guild for being the Reaper. If we have reaper here who slaughters nearby groups of monsters, they also have one who loves to slaughter wolves and for some unknown reason only wolves. Also, that reaper I mentioned earlier wasn't active lately." Of course, how can I hunt monsters when your guards were hunting me down?

Maisie started to rush towards Drake like she was aiming for a fast win but Drake is also doing the same. Drake is also aiming for a fast kill. Both of them haven't used their monster soul if they have them.

"..." Maisie is preparing her move. I remember that stance!

*SWOOOOOOOs.h.!.+* A powerful slash wave! That's what she used when we met in the icy field and all I can do is dodge her attacks.

"Girl, you are underestimating me. BLOCK!" Drake used his s.h.i.+eld to defend from the slash wave. Drake doesn't usually use a s.h.i.+eld but without his mount, he has to use one.

"CRAAAAACK! What the heck?!" Drake's s.h.i.+eld was cut in half! Though the only got cut was his s.h.i.+eld and didn't pierce through him. Of course, I can tell because when we fought, the trees around got cut like they were nothing.

"I can't let my guard down. Her offensive power is beyond my expectations. POWER BURST!" Drake used one of his powerful moves, a slash with full force. They finally met in the middle of the arena and now he's preparing to lash out his ma.s.sive force.

"..." She parried the attack by using her sword like when I used my Dark Flame Slash on her! But this time, it didn't create an explosion because Drake only used raw force.

After parrying the attack, she moved so fast to counter. She turned around making her movement so gracefully and finally used a side slash hitting Drake's side chest.

"Ughh! POWER BLAST!" He tried to return the favor but Maisie's movement is really hard to catch up to. She effortlessly evaded it and used another side slash. This time she hit Drake's back! He can't defend from Maisie's attacks because his s.h.i.+eld just got cut in half and he can't catch up to her speed. He needs to do something before she kills him.

"Ughh!" Drake is not doing good. He backed off to reposition and gain his posture because he almost dropped to the ground. His wounds are severe. Maisie's sword style is out of this world. Her physical damage is even greater than Zeth!

"Eh? Where is she?" That's the only question he asked.

"..." An overhead slash was coming from above! He didn't expect it because the moment he backed off, Maisie's already hopped up.

*CLAAAAAAANG!* He parried Maisie's attack with his sword. It was a powerful move and if by any chance he got hit by it then that would be the end of him. I know that she's really powerful the moment I met her and my large attack wouldn't have ended the fight if Siegriel didn't block my attack.

After that attack, Maisie backed off a bit and once again prepared an attack.

*... SWOOOOOs.h.!.+* Another slash wave! Drake doesn't have a way to defend from the attack! Is he going to be defeated here?

"SKY DRAKE'S WRATH!" He finally used his monster soul! It's a Sky Drake. Drakes are a smaller version of dragons and can also use physical attacks but they can't use any other magical abilities but because of their physical st.u.r.diness and flying abilities, they are considered as rare boss type monsters.

"SKY DRAKE'S ROAR!" He released a powerful shockwave and shattered the slash wave! So he is really strong huh. His armor changed into even st.u.r.dier and also got some wings which are really cool and lame at the same time.

*... SWOOOOSH SWOOOOs.h.!.+* This time, Maisie released two powerful slash waves! She's really making it hard for Drake to counter and only just to make him defend.

"SKY DRAKE'S SHATTERING BITE!" He crushed both the slash waves with a powerful slash. The moment he looked towards Maisie's direction... She was gone! Maisie's already charging at him from the side.

"You want to change blows huh. I will defeat you now! SKY DRAKE'S PRIMAL DOMINANCE!" An image of the Sky Drake's head was created while Drake's also charging at Maisie with his sword held in both of his hands.

"..." Maisie is just charging and while running, she is already transforming to her Monster Soul or whatever that is! Her hood was removed and her body clothing changed into flashy armor! Her sword also changed and her black hair turned to red! I can feel the power within her, even greater than Drake's aura!

*BOOOOOOOOOOOM!* They collided and created a powerful explosion!

Both of them are still standing and the moment the smoke cleared up, Drake's armor began to disappear. Drake's lost his power and fell to the floor lifeless. Maisie defeated him! She didn't say what her monster soul is but I'm pretty sure it was also a powerful boss type or... even greater.

"And the winner of the match is Maisie, the Silent Swordsman!"
