Chapter 46 – Arena (4)
The attack and defense between the two made it impossible for the audience, including me, to take our eyes off the game.
Yuria is the only one who looks as if she is not particularly interested.
After a brief standoff, the two ran forward at the same time, with Lien throwing her fist and Ellie throwing her mace at each other.
Kakang!
As they attacked, their fists and mace clashed as if they had made a promise, and sparks flew.
Ellie, who had previously only dealt with her defense, began to actively attack her.
Paying no mind to her rapid swing of the mace, Lien instead tried to move forward and attack from close range.
When Ellie saw Lien approaching, she attacked, something I had never expected.
The weapon used by paladins for attack in Elion is the mace.
A shield is just an item that only helps increase additional basic stats or defense.
All of Paladin’s attack skills are only attacks using the mace.
Ellie pushed away the approaching Lien with her shield.
Riendo didn’t expect Ellie’s shield attack, so she defended herself with her gauntlets, but she was pushed back.
Ellie instantly rushed to Lien, whose posture was unstable, raised her mace high in the sky and struck her down.
Bang!
Lien quickly raised her arms above her head to block Ellie’s attack, but she was unable to take the full impact and fell to one knee.
The sound of Ellie’s mace and Lien’s gauntlets clashing was so loud that the people watching unconsciously covered their ears with their hands.
Immediately after, Ellie raised her mace upward once again and slashed at Lien, and Lien, who had not yet recovered from her shock, seemed to have no choice but to face her attack.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Ellie’s attacks continued, and Lien continued to defend.
The impact was so great that the slab of her stadium where Ji Lien was sitting began to crack.
The moment Ellie raised her mace to swing once again, Lien twisted her body to the side to avoid her attack and spun her body around, tripping her and tripping Ellie’s leg.
She was knocked to the floor by Lien’s attack, and this time, Lien and I were on opposite sides of her.
“Ha!”
This time, Lien stood up and threw her fist down at her Ellie, shouting her spirit.
Ellie hastily raised her shield.
Quack!
The sound that rang out much louder than the sound of Ellie striking Lien with her mace gave me a sense of how powerful her attack had just been.
Apparently, Ellie blocked the attack with her shield, but the stone slab she was lying on was cracked and dented.
Lien did not miss the opportunity and slammed her fist down.
In reality, only a few seconds may have passed, but in that short time, Lien made numerous attacks and Ellie was completely attacked with her shield.
“It’s huge.”
I was filled with admiration for the two’s game without even realizing it.
“You both are working hard. It seems like you haven’t done your best yet.”
“Isn’t that what you do with all your might?”
The fight between the two seemed to me like they were trying their best to defeat their opponent.
“Both of us have never fought in person like this before. Moreover, since Jinu-nim told us not to use skills, we might come out differently from the patterns we usually see, so we are doing an exploration battle.”
Even now, just hearing the sound of the two weapons clashing makes a very loud sound, as if advertising that we are fighting with all our might.
But it’s not at full power yet.
Ellie, who was blocking her attack, rolled her body to her side to avoid Lien’s attack and she was able to stand up again.
They seem to have entered a lull again and are glaring at each other from a distance.
Lien began to bounce lightly in her place, perhaps trying to relax her body for a moment.
“I guess you’re thinking of starting now.”
I heard Yuria muttering.
Is it all about power from now on?
At that moment, Lien disappeared from my sight.
Her movements were so fast that her eyes couldn’t follow them.
Bang!!!
And the sound of the weapons colliding was so loud that it was incomparable to anything before.
Looking at Lien’s current posture, it looks like she came running from afar and fired her Bungken.
She blocked Lien’s attack with her shield, but her shock pushed Ellie all the way to the end of the arena.
This time Ellie disappeared from my sight.
Bang!!!
An equally loud sound rang out and Lien flew to the end of the stadium.
As she stayed there, she flew out of the stadium and almost ended up being thrown out of bounds, but Lien stuck her fist in the slab of the stadium, sending her flying and landing her in the middle.
Now the fight between the two is at a level that is difficult to follow with my eyes.
The resonating sound only lets you know that there is a fight between weapons clashing with each other.
“Oh.. It’s amazing! I’ve been the host of the arena every time, but this is the first time I’ve seen a match like this!!!”
The host, who was stunned at first, came to his senses and shouted at the battle between Ellie and Lien.
The audience seemed to have come to their senses by the host’s voice and started shouting again and cheering for the two.
However, the cheering of the audience caused me to lose concentration.
“Oh!! Pingjangjjang! Pingjangjjang! Pingjangjjang!”
“Kill me! The Most High Empress! The Most High Empress! The Most High Empress!”
It would have been better if you hadn’t mentioned that name.
To people who don’t know anything other than its age, it might feel like an unusual name, but to me, who knows the meaning, it’s just a random word.
And the stadium is gradually falling apart and losing its shape.
Who will win?
Not expected at all.
The two didn’t look tired at all and the battle continued.
But everything comes to an end.
The two, who continued to fight, retreated from each other and began to catch their breath.
What’s great is that although they hit each other like that, when I looked at their bodies, there was no trace of a proper hit.
It means that everything was properly defended.
“If this continues, we won’t end even if we fight for several days, right?”
“I think that’s why we’re pulling together apart.”
Oh, so I guess that’s why I’ve been away for a while now.
Ellie held her shield forward and raised her mace behind her, seemingly ready to swing at any moment.
Lien got into her crouch position and looked like she could pop out quickly at any time.
There was once again a moment of tension in the two’s postures, and everyone watching was holding their breath.
Just looking at the posture, it looked like Ellie would win if she intercepted Lien’s attack and counterattacked with the mace, and if she broke through Ellie’s defense and inflicted damage, it looked like Lien would win.
Although the time that has passed is only a few seconds, it feels like a very long time.
And even though no one gave a signal, the two ran out at the same time.
No, it would have gone out.
Because I couldn’t see both of them at the same time for a moment.
I thought there would be a loud noise as Lien’s fist collided with Ellie’s shield, but surprisingly, no sound was heard.
And what I saw was Lien flying in the air.
Lien flew in a parabolic curve in the air and soon fell outside the stadium.
Not only Lien himself, but also everyone who was watching the scene just looked on as if they had been stunned.
Still, it was the host who quickly came to his senses.
“Ok… It’s over!! The winner is Pingchaeng Chulong!! I don’t know what happened, but Empress Dowager fell out of the stadium and lost out of bounds!!”
Only then did the audience come to their senses.
“Oi oi I believed it!!! A pink slut chullong! A pink slut chullong! A pink slut chullong!”
“Aaaaah! My money!! All my possessions… Aaaaah!”
The audience is almost split in half and showing different reactions.
A group that cheered on Ellie, who was expressing her joy with her whole body.
A group that supported Lien, who was sad because of the money she lost.
“Who would have expected this outcome!? I expected one side to fall after a fierce battle between the two, but the reality was a completely different result!”
That’s right.
I also thought about an ending where one of the two gets attacked and falls down.
“Can you explain what happened?”
I looked at Yuria and asked.
If she was Yuria, she would definitely know what happened.
“Hmm… I didn’t know Ellie would do something like that. Lien and Ellie ran forward at the same time.”
Yeah, I think I understand that much.
“And Lien threw her fist in front of her, and Ellie threw her mace and her shield on the ground.”
Huh? Her darling threw away her weapon?
“Ellie dodged Lien’s attack by turning to her side, grabbed her arm and threw her on top of her!”
Naturally, I thought she would use her own weapons to take down her opponent, but I think Ellie’s thinking was more flexible than mine.
I never thought she would attack her opponent with her shield earlier, and then throw her opponent out of the arena by flipping her over and striking her.
For a moment, Riendo realized that she didn’t understand that she had been blown away and that she couldn’t move, but soon she was back on the pitch.
Then she slowly walked towards Ellie and held out her hand, and Eli also took Lien’s hand and shook her hand.
As if we had a good game with each other.
As the arena ended, the winner was Ellie.
@
Looking at Lien’s last attack, I thought about using her shield to block it, but the game now was not about killing each other.
The moment I thought of that, I put down my mace and shield, turned to the side to dodge Lien’s fist, and immediately threw Lien out of the stadium.
Lien, who was thrown out of the stadium, ended up losing her game.
Yes!
I won.
When I looked towards where Jinunim was, I saw her talking to Yuria.
He is probably asking what happened to the match against Lien.
Joy wells up from deep inside my heart at the fact that the people watching the game are cheering and shouting their excitement, blessing my victory.
Ah.
As the excitement of winning rose, the reason for this match also came to mind.
One-time wish ticket.
A wish that Jinunim will grant!
I’m so looking forward to it.
What wish would you make?
Actually, I am happy enough with my life just by living with Jinunim like now.
There’s nothing I’ve wanted more than this, but here I am granting you one wish.
It’s so much happiness.
Should I ask for Jinunim’s grace to allow me to have at least 10 children?
Should I ask her to leave her sister and her younger siblings for a moment and live together like they did when they first met?
I’m worried about what to ask for.
It’s such a happy worry.
