The battlefield is located in a corner of the training ground. It is a large circular platform temporarily surrounded by stone powder, with only a few training dummies scattered inside.
"The contest ends when all the sand in the hourglass has drained out. Messiah, during this period, if you are not caught by Skeeter, you win, but if you are caught by Skeeter, or If you step out of the circle, you have failed. You are not allowed to attack each other, otherwise, you will lose." As he said that, 'Black Shadow' put the delicate crystal hourglass on the shoulder of the dummy at hand, and spit out the last words from his pale lips One word, "begin."
At that moment, Skeeter, who was standing opposite me, smiled maliciously at me and said, "Miss 'Unpredictable,' please hide." As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed towards me.
This attack was not fast. I could clearly see every step he took. When he rushed in front of me, I turned around to let him pass. However, he stopped his feet almost at the same time. He turned around and grabbed my shoulder. I immediately kicked the ground and took several steps back.
Skeeter, who had caught an empty hand, looked at his right hand and smiled at me again, "As fast as that day, then I will be faster too."
"Why do you talk so much nonsense?"
He frowned and rushed over again. This time, there was a sound of wind on his outstretched right hand. I turned around again, and this time, his hand almost brushed my cheek. I was startled and immediately took several steps back. His pursuit also arrived, this time much faster than the last time. He almost caught me by the cloak.
"Oh." He raised his eyebrows, but the look on his face became serious, "Then, hurry up!"
This time, I bent my back slightly, as if facing a powerful enemy.
He bent his legs slightly, and then jumped up. At the same time, a bright halo suddenly lit up on his head, and in the halo, afterimages of his body suddenly appeared!
I took a deep breath and immediately jumped onto the training dummy nearby. Almost at the same moment, he landed where I was standing. Without thinking, I immediately untied my cloak and threw it in front of me. Hovering in the sunlight, it suddenly blocked a large area of light, and also covered the figure that had been pulled out of the afterimage. In a flash of lightning, I turned over and jumped off the dummy, ten steps away from him. At that time, the cloak had just fallen to the ground, but I was shocked to find that the cloak was so flat and there was nothing underneath it!
Where is he? !
I was shocked.
above?
Front?
left?
right?
No, none!
Then, he can only be behind me! I rushed forward without even thinking about it, but at that moment, a voice rang in my ears, "I'll catch you, miss." A cold hand stretched out, and I felt that he He wanted to touch my face, but he also misjudged it, because as soon as I stopped moving forward, he touched nothing.
But at that moment, I was already out of breath, "You actually used Holy Light Magic?!" I looked at him angrily, "This is cheating!"
"The instructor didn't say you can't use holy light magic. Moreover, this Crusader halo does not have any offensive power."
"Holy light magic is also a part of strength, as long as it doesn't involve direct attacks," 'Black Shadow' said softly outside the circle, "Continue."
I frowned fiercely.
Skeeter smiled slightly, "Your physical toughness is also very good, Miss Unpredictable, but your physical strength is a bit bad!" Before he finished speaking, he rushed over again.
I immediately dodged to one side, but this time, my judgment was wrong. His destination was opposite me. At that moment, he was almost face to face with me, and I watched his lips twitch with my own eyes, and then, a strong and dazzling light lit up from the palm of his hand.
Oh my God! Is that a sun? ? It took away all my attention at once! !
"Oh!" I immediately covered my eyes, and tears instantly flowed out.
"Skeeter! What did you do?!" I heard Bridget yell anxiously.
"It's just a ball of light, Bridget, don't worry." Skeeter answered loudly, as if he was afraid I wouldn't hear.
"It's Holy Light. There's no problem. Continue." 'Black Shadow' said softly in the distance.
"Now, I've got you." Unexpectedly, Skeeter's laughing voice rang out.
I closed my eyes tightly and gritted my teeth, "That's not necessarily true!"
"This is inevitable!" His voice was right next to my ear, and the hot air from his mouth even blew the hair on my temples. "Where do you want me to grab you? Miss?" He asked in my ear in a very low voice. , the tone is dissolute and disgusting.
I couldn't help but flew into a rage, but I still ignored him, and jumped up quickly. At that moment, my shoulder had already touched his cold fingers, but he failed to catch me after all, and was slapped by me. The slap hit the back hard.
"It's meaningless, Miss Messiah." He chased after me, but I twisted around in mid-air and landed somewhere else. The sound of landing told me that he had misjudged my landing point.
He seemed stunned.
I closed my stinging eyes tightly, trying to recall everything I had just seen around me, and desperately building my own map in my mind.
Because, I find that many times, the uncertainty of the dance of death does not require eyes to support. Even if I am crying and can't see anything, I can still select the landing point in my mind, but I hope that my landing will be There are no pitfalls at the points, and I hope this map does not exceed the limits of the competition.
That bastard Skeeter quickly chased after me again, because I heard the sharp sound of wind.
I jumped up again, and used the dance of death to avoid it. The further sound of landing made me secretly breathe out, "Come again, you loser! Let's see how long we have left!"
"Enough for me to catch you!" he yelled, sounding anxious.
I quickly jumped into the air.
A landing point.
Another landing point.
A landing point.
Another landing point...
Chase, dodge.
Capture, escape.
Speaking of which, this game only lasted a few breaths, but the consumption it brought made me a little exhausted. I just wanted to lie down and stop moving.
Skeeter is right when he says that my physical strength is a bit bad.
I gasped for air and listened carefully to every sound around me. Once the wind sounded, I quickly jumped into the air. As long as I could still use the death dance, he would definitely not be able to catch me! If I could see, I might even slap him!
Once again, I avoided Skeeter, and this time my feet were shaking as I stood up.
Hasn't the time come yet? !
clang
My shoulder seemed to hit the cold breastplate of the dummy. I leaned against the hard armor and rubbed my stinging eyes hard. I don't know what happened, but I suddenly saw something vague.
I seemed to see a double image of another world. That world was so desolate, dark, and full of purple-black wind.
The strong wind was so cold. When it brushed my cheek, I really felt the coldness, sadness and despair inside.
This is...where?
I couldn't help but froze for a moment and rubbed my eyes again. At this moment, Skeeter's breaking sound reached my ears!
Oops!
I yelled secretly! I don’t know what I was thinking, but I stepped on the strong wind. Then, I felt that I seemed to have avoided Skeeter again, but this time, I lost my bearings. I didn’t know where I was now. Where is the landing point!
My feet slipped and I felt as if I had fallen from a high place. The image of the bottomless abyss that flashed in my mind made me scream again!
"ah!!"
*
I didn't fall to the ground, a pair of hands caught me firmly, "Messiah?" A voice called me anxiously.
Why? The voice was somewhat familiar.
He gently put me down and let me lean on his arms, "Holy Light, I pray to you..." I heard him chanting incantations in a low voice, and soon, I felt a warm stream of warmth flowing in. In my eyes, the warm current soothed my stinging pain and made my eyes extremely comfortable. Then, I seemed to be able to open my eyes.
The bright sunlight was like a sharp sword, which made my eyes hurt and burst into tears for a moment. I immediately closed my eyes, but that glance was enough. I clearly saw the person who caught me.
It's Dallion. After replacing the purple cloak, he was wearing silver half-armor and he actually looked... more heroic.
"Open your eyes slowly, yes, not so fast, slower." He said softly, as if coaxing a toddler.
I endured it and tried several times as told. Finally, after one effort, I could clearly see his palm covering my eyes.
To be honest, at that moment, my heart was still pounding. I looked sideways and saw that next to me was a training dummy. It was possible that the inexplicable dance of death had landed on the top of the dummy's head or something. It's on the shoulder, otherwise, I wouldn't slide it off.
"Messiah?" Dallion called my name uneasily. In his blue eyes, I vaguely saw something that made me uneasy.
"It's okay." I immediately pushed his burning hand away and stood up straight, "Thank you, Dallion, otherwise, I might have broken my body." As I said that, I turned around and saw People outside the circle all had hateful "So that's it" expressions on their faces. Bridget even opened her mouth wide. If allowed, I think she would have rushed over and screamed at me. The 'black shadow' standing behind the crowd was stroking his chin, thoughtfully.
Am I thinking wrongly?
"Instructor!" I couldn't help but frown and yell, inexplicably a little aggressive, "Excuse me, what was the result just now?!"
'Dark Shadow' seemed to have come back to his senses and coughed lightly, "...I think Skeeter should have won."
That judgment made me clenched my fists in dissatisfaction, and then immediately relaxed due to the stinging pain in my arms, "But, he didn't catch me!"
"At the last moment, Dallion was a little faster than Skeeter, that's all." He explained, actually smiling.
I knew they must be thinking something wrong! Moreover, the things they thought about made me blush!
Just when I was about to explain something, someone suddenly put a cloak on my shoulders. Looking up, I saw Dallion's face that made me want to take action. He looked at me, his blue eyes shining, "It's very cold now, don't get sick."
There was a slight "Oh" sound from the crowd, and the corners of my eyes twitched, "Thank you." When I said that, I couldn't help but grit my teeth, making that idiot Dallion look confused. Startled.
Skeeter was standing behind Dallion. His face was not very good. Even when he looked at me, there was no trace of pride or joy in his eyes.
"You are much stronger than I thought, miss," he stood in the cold wind for a while, frowned and whispered in a low voice, and his tone sounded extremely sincere to his ears, "If I choose my opponent, I will not choose You, I apologize for my unwise choices."
Do you believe it?
I don't quite believe it.
