Chapter 194: End of Preliminaries

When the spear pulled all the way back had been released, a phantom copy of the same spear detached from Quinns hand and traveled to Miles at speed of wind. Although it didnt look dangerous, Miles felt his back was going cold.

Miles tried to dodge the spear targeting his neck, but he was surprised to see the attack and couldnt react immediately. The phantom spear pierced through his armor and made a gruesome wound on his left shoulder. Luckily his armor was still strong and the spear didnt make a hole in his body.

I suggest you take care of yourself from now on. I intend to win the competition so I will use big guns from now on. Quinn said seriously. The spear in my hand has a piercing element. The smallest wound will feel hundreds of times worse and make wounds may cause lasting damage, but you are stronger than I thought, so I cannot hold back anymore. From now on I will fight with everything I have.

Bring it on! Marooners husky voice reverberated in the arena. He felt his blood boiling and his body was yearning for a fight. He never felt like this before. The thrill of the fight clouded his judgment, but he was still able to scheme his following attacks.

An orb appeared in Miles's hand. When the orb melted, it turned into a mask and found its way on his face. But he didnt use it just yet. After the mask was placed, he dashed at Quinn with great speed. His speed was at the peak of the third serum, and with the augmentation of the armor, he was almost at the peak of the Grunt-Rank.

When he was in front of Quinn, he slashed the sword from the top of her head to her right arm. Quinn saw through the attack and took a step to her left, and the spear she was holding swapped to Miles's waist. Miles had his back to Quinns approaching spear, but it was like he didnt notice it at all, didn't react at all.

Miles, with his free hand, grabbed the side of his cape and flapped it to approach the spear with great power. The piled-up momentum of the spear and accelerating cape collided at Miles back. Thunder and fire danced on the cape before the impact swung two fighters apart from each other. Miles with his amazing computational power calculated the effects of the explosion and positioned the cape accordingly. When the explosion pushed his body, he used the momentum to approach, now falling away Quinn, from the side and swung his sword with great force.

The lightning and wind mixed with each other and a criss-cross of azure and purple traveled while cracking the air. It flew all the way to the barrier closing the arena, but it didnt stop until it hit the barrier. I missed? Miles was gasping profusely. He couldnt use one more attack now that he wasted it.

Too bad, I was charging from the front this time. Quinn appeared on his back once again. Spear traveled to his neck and stopped there.

Give up! Quinn demanded.

What was that scarf? Miles asked. He never saw anything like it.

It is something from F-Circle. It is normal for you to lose now that I can use that orb. It is unfair but the big competition in the main arena will not be any better. There, everyone will use a couple of orbs of this tier. Quinn explained without any emotion on her face. She had to win, so she did. That simple. She wouldnt want to use the Frenzy-Rank orb, but Marooner was much stronger than she ever thought. In the end, she could only use that.

So, that is how it is. Miles was enlightened. He knew Frenzy-Rank orbs were much stronger and couldnt be used without energy, but now that he saw one used against him, he felt how different the legendary F-Tier was.

Thank you for showing mercy. Miles thanked and rose to leave.
