Chapter 269 - Warm-up Match (8)
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!
Rhode knew that Lize was very good at controlling her power, but it was still a surprise to him. But after a while, he calmed down since it really wasn’t much of a shock.
On the other hand, the elites in the second team were unable to be as calm as Rhode. The bizarre combat method that Lize used was enough to make them shudder. After Nancy had lost, it was their turn to go to the ring. But who was going? Nobody wanted to be a laughingstock.
“I forfeit.”
Soon, a swordsman chose to give up. Between pride and benefit, he chose the former. If he lost, he needed to give away a piece of equipment. But it would be the guild’s equipment, not his own, so he didn’t really need to feel distressed. To the contrary, if he lost, he wouldn’t only lose his pride, but also the entire mercenary group’s pride. Just look at the face of the leader of Nancy’s mercenary group now. It was extremely sullen.
That swordsman also seemed like a carefree person. After he forfeited, he immediately left. Now, only three people were left, and their faces were gloomy and they had no other choice. At first, they actually also wanted to forfeit, but someone had said it first. What should they do then?
The three of them hoped that their leaders would give them a signal or something so they wouldn’t have to embarrass themselves. However, their expectations soom turned into disappointment. After Nancy left the stage, the urging sounds from the spectators also got louder. Hearing it, the leaders kept their mouth shut and didn’t even glanced down.
It was obvious that they had to deal with it on their own.
“I’ll go.”
Seeing that the situation couldn’t be avoided, a Ranger helplessly sighed. Then, he put down the machete around his waist and reached to pick up the longbow behind him. He walked towards the ring with his head up, but looking at his appearance, it did not seem like he was going to fight. Instead, he looked as if he was going to be executed and die heroically…
Behind him, the remaining two stared at him silently. Though they did not speak, their innermost thoughts were clearly revealed.
Brother, have a pleasant journey…
