Since Liam Wall openly boasted about his sturdy defenses, Schnee quickly proposed a plan. She would focus on the man’s senses. Once he lost all of them, his defense would become meaningless.
But for that, her paws would have to scratch the man more than enough.
“It’s fine,” Remia’s kind voice rang out, “I will focus on the arena’s territory. I will make it ours and control paths to give you all easier access to him. I will also halt his movements whenever possible.”
Schnee lifted her hand off her waist, ruffling Remia’s hair, “Good girl.”
Although Remia was older, she didn’t comment on that. Instead, it was better to enjoy the kitty’s affection, which was a treasure. And once Schnee became affectionate with someone, she would become a reliable and trustful girl that everyone could rely on.
She would help people her way, but that was also her charm.
Sara smiled at these two, “I will take the front with Alex, then. We will juggle his attention between us. Try to match it with us.”
Two girls nodded while Stella remained sleepy.
Alex smiled to reassure everyone, for he didn’t want Stella to feel guilty later, “We have an easy win in the bag. We are all together here, after all.
And this guy is already too jealous. Let’s make him seethe in envy in another world, too.”
The battle started after these words. Everyone from Deathwill’s side wore smiles, for confidence brimmed in their hearts.
They were in a new arena, but that was just a forest, part of the Berden Kingdom. In that forest, Remia’s powers smoothly flowed. She called all nature for help, making a labyrinth against her enemy.
In the minimap, Alex and Sara had all routes marked. On the other hand, Schnee had Remia’s creation guiding her around.
“That’s it! That’s the challenge!” Liam Wall, surrounded by the moving forest and deluged in a heavy presence, shouted with excitement.
He wasn’t scared or worried about the forest. The heavy presence never affected him, for his armor was the heaviest in the arena! And as he smiled widely, Liam Wall suddenly turned his head to the side, finding Alex with his swords going after his neck.
BANG!
Liam Walls ‘ armor shone red after clashing his sword with Alex’s Dullahan King’s Sword. His armor parts extended forward like mecha arms, blocking Alex’s other swords. They remained in a stalemate for a while, their eyes fixed on each other’s faces.
Both grinned before distancing themselves away.
But in the second, Sara, kitted out in her black dress, slammed her spear onto Liam Wall’s armor. She was fast and confident, and her synergy with her husband allowed her to perform a pretty effective attack.
Still, no one could look down on Liam Wall’s red armor. Although there was a small dent, it was just that. Sara’s eyes flashed with disappointing numbers, for she had imagined much more damage before interacting with him.
They then exchanged a few moves, showcasing their potential and experience.
Sara kept thrusting her spear, holding it tightly in her slim hand. Similar to her, Liam Wall slashed with his eyes, not blinking, following her movements. Their short exchange ended with a loud bang.
And then, the husband jumped in once again!
“How does my wife fight?” Alex asked while his swords landed heavily on Liam’s weapon.
For this second spar, Alex didn’t want to use his other arms to attack other body parts of his enemy. Instead, he focused all swords on Liam Wall’s sword, which looked weird, yet it was much more effective than Alex thought.
And with those swords hovering above him, Liam Wall felt the cold win falling onto him like a waterfall.
He chuckled, “You two are making me more jealous.” Liam Wall then looked at Stella, inferring that this girl was in her own world. Of course, the passive effects were still in a play. He then asked, “Where are the other two? Preparing a great technique for me?”
Alex grinned, “Yes, a very big one.”
Then, the wind howled as Alex spun his swords, engaging in a rapid and heavy dance with his opponent. While he kept moving around with his swords swirling around Liam, the armored man kept his foothold strong, as if he was an immovable mountain.
He did a good job reflecting all attacks!
And after a few moves, Sara took his place.
The battle plan was simple; get Liam used to their offensive. And then, have Schnee and Remia work together to let him scratch his senses. Of course, with the legendary enemy, Schnee required more paws.
Thus, she would wear his senses down one by one!
And as the handsome beast and dullahan momma continued exchanging moves, Remia’s forest silently sneaked toward them. Hidden beneath the beauty of nature, Schnee patiently waited for her move.
‘Now, it’s my time,’ Schnee whispered before jumping out of the forest in her small kitty form. She was fast, decisive, and ready to scratch Liam Wall’s face.
But then, Liam Wall’s lips curved up into a smile.
“If you hid that cat ears and tail, I wouldn’t have been prepared for that move… But I guess you like to flash those for your beloved… I am into cat girls too, so I can tell!” Liam Wall said with his eyes piercing through Schnee’s golden eyes.
He then utilized some unknown technique he had been keeping away from Sara and Alex… His vision was also not disturbed by the forest, for his read of everything around him was superb due to his legendary skill.
“I am The Empire’s Wall… I know everything that happens around me. You don’t use tricks against the soldier, guys,” Liam Wall whispered while raising his sword.
Schnee remained motionless. She couldn’t move for a heavy pressure pinned her down. It was as if Liam Wall forcefully equipped his red armor on her, and that was half-truth as the technique he used was indeed connected to his heavy armor.
Remia’s forest was also too late, unable to save Schnee.
And with all that on the line, nothing stopped Liam Wall from penetrating through Schnee’s kitty form.
Her small, fluffy, and defenseless form was fountained with blood as Liam Wall’s sword deeply dug through her flash. Blood erupted like a volcano from her, staining Liam Wall’s blade.
The hungry demons craned their necks while in the red sky as they stared at the arena with excitement sparkling in their eyes.
Erik whispered, “One legend rises; another falls into misery.
A misery gives birth to fear.
Fear gives us a second chance.
A second chance; the last chance.”
Below, Alex rushed forth without caring about Liam or any possible counter-attack… He extended his hand as if he had the skill to draw her away from the legendary villain. However, Alex could only use one of the weakest healing skills due to Heart Duo’s skill.
In his mind, he heard a voice.
It sounded familiar, yet Alex couldn’t assign it to anyone he knew. He, in fact, couldn’t think of it.
He dropped all to save Schnee, for her life was the most important now.
[I don’t want him to suffer the same fate.]
