Chapter 351: Conclusion
“Haa!”
“Ugh…”
Just like before, I launched a frontal assault, aiming for the large shield and striking it with my sword. The outcome was different from the first time. Zori was pushed back, gradually shaving off parts of the stage. Judging from the fact that the stage was worn down at the spot where the shield and his feet made contact with the ground, it seemed that he was forced back by the power, not intentionally retreating.
“Huff! Take this!”
“Ugh…”
I launched a fierce attack, targeting Zori’s large shield. Seeing his trembling arm tightly gripping the shield, I realized that he was trying not to be overwhelmed by the force and not let go of the shield.
“Lightning Shrink!”
Due to his focus on defense, Zori couldn’t catch up as I circled behind him with Lightning shrink.
“Ha!”
“Oof…”
I struck Zori’s left side with my suikou. As a result, his earthen armor shattered, and there were significant cracks in his metal armor.
Lightning coat is a skill that is two evolutions of my beast armor, Lightning Armor. Therefore, it is a higher level of compatibility with normal beast armor. Therefore, the performance is much higher than that of the earth armor, although the attributes are different. So it was not so difficult to crush the earth armor.
I swung my Suiyami towards Suikou, aiming at Zori’s abdomen, and unleashed the second strike.
“Gaaah…”
With the second attack, the metal armor on his left side also shattered. However, just shattering the armor wasn’t enough to mitigate the impact, and Suikou pierced into Zori’s left side. Perhaps due to the pain, Zori couldn’t resist and was blown away.
“Lightning Shrink!”
I used Lightning Shrink to pursue the blown-away Zori.
Zori must have anticipated my arrival because he immediately readjusted his posture. Then, he kneeled down and aimed his large shield at me. Does he have no intention of being pushed back again?
About 5 meters away from Zori, I stopped using Lightning shrink and rushed towards him. While running, I changed the shape of my beast armor. I transferred it from myself to the sword, extending it to match the length of the sword and adding a protrusion of less than 1 meter at the tip. It looked like a long-handled sickle from the side.
“Ha!”
“Ugh…”
With the change in shape, I was able to ignore the frontal shield and swing the sword sideways, striking Zori. This attack caught him off guard, causing his face to protrude from behind the shield. I once again enveloped myself in Lightning coat and dashed forward.
“Do…”
“Too slow!”
Bang!
Zori tried to focus his earth armor on his face, and earth armor began to appear on his face. However, before it could fully form, I repeatedly struck his face with Suiyami and Suikou.
Zori let go of the large shield and tumbled on the stage, eventually coming to a stop without moving.
“Match over!”
Zori didn’t move for 10 seconds, confirming that he was unconscious, and the match ended. The time limit displayed prominently in the arena had stopped at 11 minutes. It had been decreasing from 30 minutes, so I had been fighting Zori for 19 minutes.
It was a pretty good match, and whether it was because I secured a spot in the main event or for some other reason, I could hear more than double the applause compared to the first and second matches. I canceled my beast transformation and Lightning coat , leaving the stage while listening to the cheers.
“Hey, I never knew Zeros could change the form of his beast armor.”
When I stepped outside the arena, Bequa and Carina approached me. The three of us walked towards the inn, and Bequa started the conversation.
“I never had a chance to use it.”
The regular beast armor can only transform into armor, but I can even envelop it in weapons. I can change its shape to some extent.
“I’m glad I got to see it before the main event.”
“I didn’t want to show it before the main event.”
That’s a lie. It’s not like I had no choice but to use it. I deliberately showed it because I had no intention of using it in the main event. In the previous match, the handle was longer, but despite landing a perfect hit, Zori’s transformation only exposed his face from behind the shield.
In other words, that attack itself didn’t inflict much damage. It’s originally an evolved form of armor, so its offensive capabilities are not high. Moreover, when I envelop the sword with lightning, it reduces the amount I can envelop myself, lowering both attack and defense. It’s a rather inefficient double-edged sword. If I wasn’t going to use it anyway, Darki came up with a strategy to show it and create unnecessary vigilance.
“With this, the three of us have secured a spot in the main event.”
“Yes.”
“That’s right.”
In today’s match, Bequa, Carina, and I all secured a spot in the main event.
“If we face each other in the main event, we won’t hold back, right?”
“Yes!”
“Of course.”
“But today, let’s celebrate our qualification for the main event!”
Bequa also joined me in my room at the inn, and we enjoyed a delicious meal to our heart’s content. Then, as Sophie and the others returned, Bequa left in their place.
