In Bhanu's turn, he could defend his place by defeating the five challengers. It was another matter that he could barely stand after doing it.
Manu was able to defend his place quickly, and after him, it was the turn of Nina; she asked the five challengers to fight her at once. At first, everyone was confused and thought that she was arrogant, but those were people who didn't know her techniques.
Her mastery of 'Sword Dash' made her much more powerful when she was fighting against multiple opponents. The challengers knew about it, but they thought they would be able to counter it.
But what they didn't know was Nina's other skill, 'Target Hunting,' which increased the damage of her attacks when her multiple attacks landed on a single opponent while also decreasing their movement speed.
It also gave her an attack damage boost the more opponents she defeated; even Rishi was jealous of this skill that destroyed opponents if they grouped up.
'Target Hunting' synergized well with 'Sword Dash' and 'Quick Draw,' which made Nina a fearsome opponent if she succeeded in landing her combo.
The referee asked both sides if they were ready. On one side was a girl with her brown hair tied in two plaits, and her green eyes were sharp and deadly.
Despite her cute appearance, she had a deadly presence. She was like a rose flower, which looks visually appealing at first, but if its looks enchant you, you will get hurt by its thorns.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe was standing in an attacking stance, with her right hand holding the sheath of her small katana-shaped sword while her left hand rested on the long handle of her sword. Her body was slightly bent, with her left leg in front and her right leg a little back.
She looked at her opponents as if she were analyzing them while her hands were ready to unsheath her Hengdang (sword) and defeat them.
Despite her little figure, she looked heroic when the wind touched her face, and her two plaits danced in the air. This wind was caused by the presence released by the five challengers in front of her.
The one at the front were carrying sword and spear, while the one at the back were holding bow and daggers, but what she found most interesting was the one at the center holding a giant stick.
Unlike others, he had a shaved head, and from his presence, it was not very hard to decipher his identity: he was a monk.
Everyone was excited about this match. Every participant nodded in response to the referee's question, and the referee finally announced the start of the battle.
A sharp glint of glint shone in Nina's eyes. Her body was surrounded in a light blue glow as she jumped at her opponent with the movement skill 'Gale Steps.'
A light blue glow appeared on her feet as she approached her opponents. The challengers had planned to move back first, but Nina didn't give them any chance.
When she was within the six-meter range of her first opponent, she used the 'Sword Dash' skill and attacked him. A silver glow appeared on her body as she disappeared from everyone's view.
She used 'Target Hunting' and 'Quick Draw' to multiply her damage before attacking the opponent and appearing behind him.
She especially targeted the muscle joints and legs, and after she succeeded in her first attack, her 'Sword Dash' skill cooldown got reset. She used 'Sword Dash' again and disappeared again from her position. She targeted the spearman this time and succeeded again.
A strange skull mark appeared on every opponent that was hit by her attacks; below the skull was the number of attacks that she had landed on them. After she got her second reset, she again used 'Gail Steps' and approached the opponent in the middle.
She attacked him with a 'Quick Draw,' but he easily defended her attacks; Nina already knew it, because of which she didn't use 'Sword Dash' on him as she would not get the reset if her attack was missed.
She said, "We will continue after I take care of others," and used 'Gale Steps ' again to approach the remaining two opponents.
The monk wanted to chase her, but she was just too quick. The skill Nina was using was also stackable if used multiple times in a row.
When used for the first time, it gave a small dash and 10% movement speed for some time; when used again, it gave another dash and increased the movement speed by 20%.
This could continue five times, and with 'Gale Steps,' the chances of 'Sword Dash' missing were even lower.
When she was in the attack range of 'Sword Dash,' she used it again with 'Quick Draw,' and the blood came out of the legs of the opponent who was trying to shoot arrows at her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe didn't waste her time and jumped at the other opponent close to her with another 'Sword Dash' skill; this time, she chained between the fourth and fifth opponent multiple times.
The eyes of the skull over their heads started shining red when the number 21 appeared below it. The sword of Nina started shining in a bloody red glow, and when her next two attacks landed on her opponents, they were both covered in a blue barrier and eliminated.
The skulls on top of both opponents joined together and merged with Nina's sword. A skull symbol appeared on it, and the sword started shining in a blood-red glow again; the glow had become thicker.
When the monk who had just reached her saw it, he attacked her with a powerful attack, but Nina said, "wait a little more" and used 'Gale Steps' again and dodged his attacks before approaching the first two opponents that were unable to move due to their injuries and the effect of 'Target Hunting.'
Nina chained down between both of them using 'Sword Dash,' and the cold spectacle appeared again when the eyes of the skull shone blood red.
When these two opponents were also eliminated, the skull symbols on top of their heads merged with Nina's sword. The glow was so dark and natural this time that it was as if she was using Aura Blade.
But the experienced people knew the difference. While the glow emanating from Nina's sword was powerful, it was still not comparable to the fake aura; forget about the natural aura. Aura was the first step into the world of real warriors; how could that step be taken so easily?
The crowd was silent when they saw it; the people mocking Nina were quiet. It was as if someone had locked their mouths; the teachers and seniors looked on in surprise and astonishment.
Only one person was standing with his back straight and chest out; he was the teacher who taught Nina.
The teachers beside him had astonishment and praise in their eyes. This was how the professors of Mazar Academy competed. It was through teaching their students the best they could.
