Chapter 1161 Challenging the Heavens (4)

1161 Challenging the Heavens (4)

"...Fight!"

Whoosh!

At the very moment those words left Scho'doxa's mouth, the half-elf swiftly activated all of the stat-boosting skills in her arsenal, causing her body to give off a faint green glow.

Seeing that Valyr was also in the process of activating his stat-boosting skills, the woman went ahead and charged towards him without hesitation, flaring out her aura in the process.

Swoosh!

"Considering that you're at the peak of Rank 4, it's quite surprising that you've gotten this far." Taking out a whip made out of vines from who knows where, the woman opened her mouth all of a sudden while her gaze was focused on Valyr's movements.

"After all, before you could even get the chance to fight against me, you'd have to fight against the winner of the Early Rank 6 tournament."

"I don't know whether your victory against him was a fluke or not, but I'm more than certain your streak of victories ends here," said the half-elf in a slightly arrogant tone, stopping a couple of meters away from the young man.

After that, she redirected her aura towards the whip she held, infusing it with a great amount of energy in the process.

In response, the whip seemingly gained a mind of its own, beginning to slither about as if it were a serpent waiting for her orders.

"There is no winning against me." Just as Valyr had finished activating all of the stat-boosting skills he used in his earlier fight against the orc, the half-elf spoke up once more, her whip gradually moving closer towards him.

"There is only losing."

"...Is that so?" Getting the feeling that the woman would continue on the current topic, Valyr decided to take control of the current situation, interrupting her next words with a question of his own.

"Do you really think I'd lose against you?"

"How arrogant," scoffed the half-elf in response, the whip in her hands more than ready to launch an offensive against him. "Do you even have the means to bridge such a massive gap in strength? I'm more than certain you won your previous fight through sheer luck."

At those words, a faint smile began to creep up onto Valyr's lips. "Luck, huh? Do you really think I relied on luck?"

"Oh?" At those words, the half-elf raised her eyebrows, her interest seemingly piqued.

"Be my guest, then," replied the half-elf after that, crossing her arms as if she found his actions laughable. "Show me just how a peak Rank 4 class holder like you would take on a mid Rank 6 class holder like me."

"With great pleasure." Briefly chuckling in response to her words, Valyr briefly took in a deep breath before proceeding to take action.

"[Blink of the Azure Dragon]." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

As if the current situation was a response to her complacence from earlier, the bullet easily pierced through the half-elf's forehead, boring a small hole that soon caused blood to spurt out from both sides.

"Gasp!"

Feeling remorse as a myriad number of thoughts coursed through her mind, the half-elf gradually felt both her body and mind begin to succumb to the damage she received, causing her to inwardly wonder why she made such a stupid decision.

Fortunately, Scho'doxa made a move before she fully succumbed to the damage, activating a series of skills that swiftly returned her connection back to the waking world.

Whoosh!

Gradually feeling the strength she swiftly lost return to her body, the half-elf eventually let out a wide sigh of relief the moment she felt like she returned to her previous condition, giving Scho'doxa a look of gratitude in response.

After that, she shifted her gaze towards Valyr, only to feel fear bubbling up within her body as he looked back at her with a solemn gaze.

Knowing that this fear was a result of her decisions, the woman was about to tell Valyr she was in the wrong after taking a few deep breaths, only to notice the faint smirk that was hanging on the edge of the young man's lips.

'You...' Feeling as if the young man was mocking her for her arrogance and complacence, the words she previously had in mind disappeared without a trace.

In its place was a barely suppressed anger that was directed towards the young man, the words he spoke to her before the start of the fight still echoing in her mind.

"Alright then." Though he took note that the half-elf was clearly staring daggers at Valyr, Scho'doxa acted as if he was oblivious to all of that, teleporting the half-elf away with a snap of his fingers.

Whoosh!

"So, using the arquebus was the right choice, no?" Making sure that the half-elf returned to her arena, the man soon threw out a question at the young man, letting out a slight chuckle as he spoke.

"The fight was definitely faster than before." In response, Valyr let out a chuckle of his own as he nodded back. "If I knew I could use it from the start, I would have used it in every fight."

"Sure, you may have missed out on that," replied Scho'doxa as he nodded. "But at least you still have the opportunity to use it in your next and final fight."

Valyr could only smile at those words.

"Well... you're not wrong." Definitely gonna edit this chapter later. I feel like the chapter doesn't flow that well.
