As soon as the referee announced the start of the match, Felix rushed ahead using both ratio technique and agility burst skill.
His speed increased a lot and several red lines appeared on his opponent, Grashia.
The crowd could only see afterimages of his figure as he ran across the stage holding his short sword.
When Felix reached his opponent, he didn't hesitate and directly slashed his weapon at the indicating weakness of the man.
The shortsword hacked at the man's arms, resulting in a deep wound to take place.
Felix smiled seeing that he had injured his opponent.
'Now that his weakness is dealt with, he won't be able to fight properly the whole match.'
This was what he had wanted to do and also had done in the previous matches.
Once he had attacked his opponent's weakness, then they would be fatally wounded and thus wouldn't be able to exert their maximum effort in fighting.
While he was thinking that he had already wrapped this match around, a gloved hand came flying through the air and hit his stomach before he could react.
"Khuh!"
Felix was dumbfounded finding himself getting punched hard, then flying across the stage, and crashing into the edge of the arena stage.
He spurted out blood from his mouth and felt his ribs hurting all over.
'W-What the hell?'
Raising his head, he saw the giant man cracking his neck and finger letting out popping sounds.
There was a disgusting smile on Grashia's face as he looked down on Felix making him feel terrible.
'How can he be alright after I attacked his weak point? Did it not faze him at all?', he couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock.
The audience was cheering out loud making a lot of noise and those who knew about the cruelty of Grashia had a look of pity on their face, sympathizing with the guy who had to deal with that zombie-like giant.
Henry, Dufus, and the group were feeling the most grieved because they had bet all their money on the Phantom guy, and looking at the match, they knew there was no chance of them winning the bet.
"If only it wasn't that giant he was up against...", Henry lamented with a sigh.
Back on the stage, Felix held his stomach and tried standing up while getting into a stance.
He could not believe his attacks were not having any effect on him, and thus dashed forward again, this time using the skill to increase his speed as the giant was kind of fast even with such a large body.
Reaching him, Felix again slashed his sword at one of the weaknesses near his torso and blood spurted out from there, but the man didn't care at all and again punched him away.
Felix quickly went through the details of the skills, checking whether it was alright.
Seeing that it was what he wanted, he quickly accepted it.
'Yes create it!'
[Ding!]
[Successfully created a new skill.]
Even though this skill was not the best for the situation, it was what he could come up with in a short amount of time.
Now that he had created a new skill to face his opponent, Felix decided to attack again.
He took a stance and waited for Garshia to reach near him.
Calculating the steps, he quickly dashed ahead using the Agility Burst skill and arrived behind him.
Holding his shortsword tightly, he jumped above and stabbed at the red line that had appeared on Grashia's torso.
"Squelchh!"
The sword entered deep into Grashia's body soaking his clothes with blood but as usual, there was no reaction of pain from him as a slight smile remained on his face.
Looking at his opponent's carefree appearance, Felix raised the corner of his lips into an evil grin and used his new skill.
'Corrosion!'
Suddenly, Felix felt something invisible eject from his body which he controlled and moved to his weapon that remained deep inside Grashia's torso.
"Khuh!"
A pained groan escaped from Grashia's mouth as he quickly turned around in panic and threw a punch.
Felix had already anticipated the attack and thus swiftly backed away taking out his shortsword from his opponent's body.
Feeling a slight discomfort at the back of his body, Grashia frowned and glared at Felix before speaking for the first time in the whole match.
"You...How did you hurt me?", he asked as it was the first time for him feel that kind of pain.
Felix swung his sword shaking off the blood and replied back sarcastically with a smirk.
"With my sword of course."
Grashia's face twisted in anger when he didn't get the answer and he clenched his hands before rushing towards Felix.
"Okay, it's time to end this."
