Almekia Kingdom
67. Opal - Unpredictable

At exactly 14:00 the tournament committee called my name to the hangar gear and made preparations. Inside the hangar has been waiting for me a standard green gear with a spear gun. Soon I'll have the gear, I'll check the status of the gear on the computer screen, the combo style, the fuels and the various gear.

Hmmm, the gear this time is not as bad as the gear in the previous round. There was no significant damage, unlike the gear in the previous round that even some of the levers and handles were rusty. I checked the internal sensors and external gear is also able to respond to commands fairly quickly. Looks like the age of this standard gear is not too old.

After all the preparations were done I immediately flew my gear out of the hangar and I landed it in the arena of the match. There was already standing waiting for me a metallic purple gear piloted by Simone. I can see that gear carries a double whip as a weapon. Simone is said to be the winner of last year's tournament, surely the ability of the gear can not be underestimated.

As usual the referee introduced the two participants who will compete. And the welcome and cheers for me are certainly not worth the number of greetings for Simone. Wah lost a lot about pamor like that.

As soon as the referee declared the match began, Simone's purple gear immediately floated a flurry of whip dancing and blindly to me. The movements are so agile and beautiful, almost like the movements of a dancer or a rope gymnast.

But behind all that beauty, every whip was so sharp and dangerous that it was even able to make a huge crack on the arena floor. Could be terrible if one of the lashes hit my gear body.

Whip weapons are rarely used. Well as far as I can tell only Jasper and the late king's majesty wore them in the palace. I just realized it turns out this type of weapon can be very terrible depending on the expertise of the wearer. And my opponent this time, as expected of last year's tournament winner. Of course, his combat ability is very terrible even he can use a weapon like a whip that is rarely used like this.

Gesture my gear right, left, forward, backward even occasionally jumping and bowing to avoid the whip dance. For a few minutes the fight went on like that, I couldn't find any loopholes to launch an attack on him at all. Just busy weaving around moving around here and there dodging his whip dance.

I took a few steps back, a few meters beyond the reach of the whip. I forced my brain to load faster, thinking about how I could hit the purple gear without being hindered by the whip dance?

I finally decided that I should be able to stop that crazy whip. First, you must get rid of the combination of attacks in order to attack them directly.

I poured my energy into my spear and made an ice chi attack by swinging my spear through the air and continued to the arena floor. The ice flow quickly spread from my spear tip following the direction of the crack made by my spear. Just keep creeping into my opponent's purple gear body. My attack managed to freeze and stop the purple gear's movements for a while.

I used that momentum to get closer to him. I launched a deadly attack with my spear that had already given off deep energy, directly thrusting it into the chest of the gear without further ado.

How shocked I was when I found the invisible barrier protecting my enemy's gear. Just five centi meters away from that gear chest, my spear attack suddenly came to a halt. It was as if it had hit a very thick visible wall. I gave up all my strength, all my strength to suppress it, forced it to break down the barrier, but the wall was too firm and unmoved.

And once again beyond my prediction, the ice attack I had done earlier to freeze Simone's gear had melted. Very quickly he was able to neutralize the frozen effects of my attack earlier. Supposedly the freezing and immobile effects of my ice attack could last up to a dozen minutes. Why is it so fast to lose?

I could see the purple gear was a little reddish in color and was puffing smoke. It turned out that Simone had used fire chi to attack herself. For the sake of melting an ice attack from me. Slowly but surely the purple gear was starting to move, regardless of the ice shell that froze it.

Without being able to prevent the whip dance back into action whipping in all directions with very high speed. The whip that hit me, my gear that certainly could not dodge because of my distance with him that was too close. Thousands of lashes hit me, beating and tearing my whole body apart.

I could feel the fierce tremors and blows on every whip that hit my body, as if my body was directly hit by the lash. After a series of dances thrown my gear up so that it floats into the air. And he greeted it with the final whip that sent me crashing and thumping loudly onto the arena floor. Got captured there.

"Uuuuhhhg," I groaned in pain. I can feel the blood running down the corner of my lips. My body also feels pain all because of the impact earlier.

Immediately I ordered my gear to get back up and fight back. But this gear is just silent, unwilling to respond, why this?

I frantically checked my monitor immediately, observing the state of the stats of the gear I was piloting. Siall! It's only right that he won't move and obey my orders.

The arm and leg of my gear had been destroyed by the whip dances, crumbling so that it could not support the overall weight of the gear. It means that from the beginning Simone has been targeting my limbs, to paralyze the movement of my gear.

The durability of this standard gear is too weak, far below my expectations. My usual Hydra private gear can definitely survive without any significant injury after receiving such an attack. Well maybe I've been riding too often and feel the comfort of private gear so forget how it feels and powerless to have to drive a standard gear with all its limitations like the gear I use now.

How is this, with the current state of my gear, of course I can't continue this match? My gear can't even move and move. It will only be an easy target for any enemy attack. Even if forced to continue fighting will only be looking to die.

"I give up" I cried loudly and was followed by applause, shouting and cheers even from all directions.

"I'm sorry, brother, I can't seem to be of much help. We leave our hopes to Zircon and Diamond alone, "I reach out to Brother Amethys' mind and I make him telepathic.

"That's okay it's important that you survive" my brother replied in a calm and soothing tone.

I walked quickly to the hangar, I just passed the gear storage and continued walking straight into the waiting room. As soon as I entered the room I found Ruby who was grinning furiously directly charging at me, pounding my chest hard.

"Basic stupid jerk! Why can you lose?! I don't want to marry Simone! He's g*y's guy!" The protest was against me, as usual.

"Sorry..." Only that word can come out of my mouth. Unable to make excuses or excuses. I've already lost.

"Hahahaha this weak brat you're fighting to win against me?" Jade laughed and smiled cynically at me full of ridicule.

Then her gaze turned to Diamond who had woken up from her sleep and was standing side by side with Kak Amethys near the screen.

"Died he's your candidate? I'll kill him tomorrow hahahaha." Jade pointed her middle finger at Diamond as a challenge. Diamond simply smiled without answering, it was indeed inappropriate to add provocation to Jade's cruel person.

"No will! He's gonna win! You're the one who's gonna lose!" Ruby said she did not want to lose challenging.

"Oh yeah? Try it tomorrow!" Jade placed one finger on her neck and made a gesture as if she was chopping off her head.

Then he passed, took something on the table and threw it at Ruby. A small heart-shaped wooden sculpture. Something he took very seriously. Next the man left the room leisurely.

I can see Ruby frowning, a little confused Ruby for the sake of looking at the wood carvings given by Jade.

"What the fuck is this asshole? Fucking maniac! Abnormal sister complex?" ruby shouted furiously as she threw, throwing out the heart-shaped wood carving Jade gave to the floor.

"You have to win anyway! Whatever happens, you have to beat that goddamn Jade!" Ruby approached Diamond this time, hugged her arm in a pampered manner, and swung spoiled next to my best friend's arm.

"We'll see later," replied Diamond flatly.

Very different from the man I know. Usually the fearless Diamond will surely answer this challenge optimistically. He would definitely be happy to fight it out against an enemy as strong as Jade.

It seemed that Diamond knew and was well aware of her weakness, her current state of body. Maybe in his life just this time he felt helplessness of his ability that could erode all ego and self-confidence.

Turning my gaze to Brother Amethys, he looked expressionlessly at the Diamond that Ruby was hugging.

Creepy, I never saw my brother give off this silent and fleeting killing aura. And it looks like Diamond can also feel the aura so that he does not dare to return Ruby's embrace, just resigned his hand to be teased by Ruby.

Makes me want to not smile amusedly at the ridiculous sight in front of me.
