Rise My Elementals! - Chapter 748
Proofreader: M_W Miss Fierce
With her right arm raised high after parrying Osborne’s sword, Selina quickly decided to use this opportunity to make a vertical swing straight towards Osborne’s wide-open right arm, intending to injure that arm so that his combat capability would decrease by a considerable margin. And maybe by that time, even if he has the advantage in stamina and energy, she could still defeat him using her skills.
But just when Selina’s sword was about to reach Osborne’s arm, a powerful force suddenly hit her body, causing her to retreat a few meters of distance away from him.
“Although my arm was wide-open after you parried my sword, so was your front,” Osborne said while slowly drawing back the shield that struck Selina’s front.
Cough!
Selina coughed a mouthful of saliva upon stabilizing herself. This simply implies just how strong the force was that hit her body just now. And if it wasn’t because she is wearing a 5-Star level armor right now, then Osborne’s 5-Star level shield would have easily broken a few of her ribs after receiving a direct hit, which might result in her losing the fight because of that.
While wiping her lips with her left hand, Selina slowly stood her body straight before muttering to herself, “Another round!”
Whoooosh!
Selina lunged herself forward towards Osborne again.
Seeing this, Osborne raised his shield to block from Selina’s attack once more while at the same time preparing his sword to counterattack against her.
Banggg!
Selina’s sword and Osborne’s shield clashed together. But in the next moment, Osborne suddenly moved his left hand, holding the shield towards the side, causing Selina’s right arm to be slightly flung away to the right due to her momentum. And because of that, it created a chance for Osborne to use his sword to attack Selina’s wide-open left side.
However, to Osborne’s surprise, a sword suddenly appeared on Selina’s left hand. This sword was pointing towards his stomach while her figure was simultaneously slowly inching closer and closer to him.
Seeing the gap of distance between Selina’s sword and his stomach, Osborne realized that it would be next to impossible for him to stop her attack as it would still take a bit more time before his right hand, holding the sword, to block her.
Since there’s no possible way to prevent Selina’s attack, Osborne thought of doing something else instead. He continued with what he intended to do just now, specifically swing his sword towards Selina’s wide-open left side.
In the next moment, Osborne cried out in pain after Selina’s sword made a hole on his armor wide enough for her sword to pass through and straight out penetrated his stomach, “Argh!”
On the other hand, Selina also cried out in pain as her figure flew a few meters away to her right side after receiving a direct hit from Osborne’s sword.
Looking down at her left waist, Selina sees a deep, long, straight-cut wound with blood oozing out. After seeing this, she quickly put her hand a few inches above her severe wound and gathered Mana from her surroundings. Soon after, pebbles appeared and started sticking together to form some kind of band-aid. The moment it was finished forming, she covered her wound to stop it from bleeding. Otherwise, she would end up losing the fight due to blood loss. That would literally make all of her efforts useless.
Meanwhile, Osborne looked down to his stomach and saw a sword deeply embedded deep within him. He could only swear after seeing this, “Fuck!”
“Hehehe,” Selina weakly chuckled while staring at her sword that she had purposely left stabbing into Osborne’s stomach. She added, “I might have decided to become reckless in fighting against you, but I’ll make sure that you won’t be having an easy win!”
“I was never expecting an easy win, to begin with!”
This time, it was Osborne’s turn to charge towards Selina. He completely disregarded her sword that had penetrated his stomach, as he knew that pulling it out would just cause him even more severe injury. The only thing he should do now is to end this fight before his injury becomes fatal enough that even if he indeed won the fight against Selina, there would be no chance for him anymore to fight in the semi-finals nonetheless.
Clang!
Selina swiftly raised her right hand, holding the sword to block against Osborne’s sword. But it was soon proven useless, as he simply used his shield to bash her. What’s even worse is that he hit his shield to her left side, where her wound was located.
Booom!
Fortunately, Selina made a swift motion with her left hand, quickly taking out another sword from her Storage Ring to block Osborne’s shield for her. Nevertheless, she still retreated a few meters of distance to her rear. The pebbles that covered her wound just now started crumbling due to the strong wind force from their exchange of attacks. This causes her wound to oozed blood once again. But she quickly covered it with pebbles again to stop the bleeding.
While Selina was doing that, Osborne didn’t just stand by and watch her patiently. He lunged himself forwards in her direction.
Boooooom!
Similar to what happened just now, Selina’s figure retreated after blocking Osborne’s attack with the rock covering her wound crumbling down once more.
Knowing who he was fighting against, Osborne didn’t just stop after attacking Selina for a second time. He made up his mind already that he would only stop attacking her until she finally chooses to give up, thus ending the fight. After all, as long as their fight has still not ended yet, she can still deal more, and probably even worst injuries to him. He really doesn’t want that to happen, so this is his only way to solve the problem. At the same this, this is also the only way to save Selina from her relentless recklessness.
Booooom!
Clanggg!
Booooom!
Clanggg!
Booooom!
Osborne continued suppressing Selina with his seemingly never-ending assault against her, causing a series of muffled explosions and metal hitting against metal sounds to echo throughout the entire stage.
Everyone watching the fight between Osborne against Selina couldn’t help themselves from standing up from their chairs while feeling a mixed emotion of excitement and worry. Their faces keep on changing from the look of concern to the look of enjoyment every single time. It was as if they wanted the fight to continue, but they also didn’t want their fight to escalate into something worse, where one of them would end up dying.
After all, these two people are entirely different from those who had died in the previous games of the Emerald Elven Battle Competition. Unlike those people, Osborne and Selina have a bit of influence on the masses that affected their judgment, which made them biased and didn’t hope for the both of them to die.
“Just surrender already, Selina! You have already done enough in your fight against Osborne!”
“Is it really worth it to die just for this fight?!”
“Osborne, have mercy on Selina!”
While the spectators were expressing their concerns to Selina and encourage Osborne to stop as she obviously could no longer continue to fight against him anymore. On the other hand, Elmont, Princess Tifa, Princess Tila, the staff, and even including both Leo and Edgar Pierce, who were the closest to the two, prepared themselves to intervene in their fight.
As much as they wanted to end the fight as soon as possible, they knew that it wasn’t the right time yet. To be more precise, there are still no apparent signs within Selina’s eyes that she wanted to give up the fight. At the very least, they should give her this little bit of honor and respect before ultimately announcing the end of their fight because this is what she deserves for all that she has done until the very end.
It didn’t take that long for Selina’s eyes to eventually show a bit of her resignation to her fight against Osborne. The moment she showed the sign, Leo and the others didn’t hesitate to take action and quickly stopped Osborne from continuing.
Honestly, Selina doesn’t want to lose in her fight against Osborne. But with how the situation has been developing from the moment she fell into his trap until now, she knew that she was already helpless to change anything. Since that’s the case, she finally decided to give up.
Before Selina’s figure could fall to the floor, Elmont swiftly arrived beside her to catch.
Elmont stared at Selina’s sorry figure covered in many wounds as he muttered, “You’ve done more than enough, Selina. It is now time for you to take some rest and to heal your wounds,”
As if Elmont’s words hold some magical power in them, Selina’s lips slowly formed into a satisfied smile before she closed her eyes and became unconscious.
“Quickly, bring us the medical staff!” Princess Tifa hastily calls out the staff in charge of casting Healing Magic spells to the players.
“What is taking them so long! Can’t they see that sister Selina is seriously injured!” Princess Tila exclaimed loudly.
Shaking his head, Elmont said, “It’s alright, no need to rush. Selina is just sleeping,”
Soon, a few staff arrived and carefully took Selina from Elmont before quickly rushing towards the clinic to start healing all of her wounds.
