The Alternative/Overwatch
Panthera vs Apocalypse (Part VII)

(Viewing angle: Naava)

Before starting the melee match, I drank the 2 bottles of potions Alice gave me. After I drank it my manna recovered quickly even until the armour I was wearing shone bright blue, while the other had the effect of healing my wounds and being refreshed. Ordinary potion effects could not be this effective. Well that can be thought of later. For now is the focus of beating Gen's number one woman.

"Thank you." I said after drinking the two bottles then I broke the bottle with one hand.

"Why don't we do it in the arena? It's a close-range duel anyway." Alice gave her advice. Without answering his question, I walked into the arena again.

Suddenly Yuna grabbed me and whispered something into my ear."At least tell your men behind you that you're still reliable." Whisper Yuna. I don't understand what that word means.

"What do you mean?" I also replied in a whisper.

"Let's look behind us. They look anxious when they see you get beat up and turned into a toy yo-yo by Alice." Yuna. I also looked at the troops. Yuna was right, looking at the faces anxious about my defeat.I must not show that I am the weak queen in front of them at least on this battlefield.

I took off my mask for a moment and raised my hand towards my team. Instantly they cheered back. Sounds in Panthera

"lank lewe die koningin Panthera!.....Lank lewe die koningin Panthera!.lank lewe die koningin Panthera! " Their cheer means (Long live the Queen Panthera!)

I will answer the spirit they gave me with the victory of this duel.

I put my mask back on and activated the weapon in the form of a pair of claw-patterned shields on my arm. I quickly jumped up and lunged at Alice. Alice who only used the sword avoided it. I tried to groan it with consecutive attacks but Alice's defense was quite strong.

"My turn." He said after I stopped attacking him. Unexpectedly, I didn't expect Alice's movements to be this fast. I tried to fend him off but some escaped and hit me. That's also pretty profitable. By slashing at each part of my armour, every impact from the slash will be responded to and processed into kinetic energy and manna.

For a moment I saw the gap and destroyed his consecutive attacks and managed to claw Alice's back despite not being meaningful enough. We also keep our distance from each other.

"I never knew that you were also a swordsman. Impressive." I tried to get him to communicate.

"Your praise won't save you." Said Alice raising her sword from her style in trying to slash me horizontally. This is my chance. Lah?....

We also fight the speed of who is faster in slashing. Suddenly my body felt like it was collapsing again. I knelt down to Alice. I vomited blood again. I looked at my armor.

"Why this? Should've..." I said falter.

"When we pulled the mine earlier I just realized it. It looks like the armor allows you to regenerate the manna and turn it into energy like a shockwave from any form of attack that hits the armor. That's why I saw that armor glow when you drank the potion I gave you." Alice Obviously.

"So that's why you gave me those two bottles? I'm sure you're not that noble woman until you give me a potion. But how was the energy from each of your sword attacks just now...." I tried to stand up.

"Magic Skill: Absorption. Allows users to absorb XP, HP, and MP enemies through direct good touch indirectly. Because it was also an attack becoming slower and weaker." Alice Obviously. So that's why this armor didn't respond to Alice's every attack.

"So so. It was indeed the superiority of a high-level Magic Caster. But...!" I quickly deactivated the claw and tried to attack it. Alice quickly slashed at me using her sword but her slashing quail used my arm by holding back the swing of her hand instead of her sword blade. His sword slipped out of Alice's hand.

I hugged Alice's hips and slammed her to the ground in a kayang style as tight as possible. Alice's former surface landed smashed to the ground. I let go of my arms and moved away from Alice.

"Whatever you are, a head-targeting attack is fatal." Mumbles.

But what was in front of my eyes was inversely proportional.

"Indeed right. Unfortunately, I took precautions. Magic Skill: Knock-Back Neuturalization. Allows the ship to be immune to attacks in the form of hits from blunt objects." Obviously Alice twirled her neck as if my dings just made her ache. Damnit damnit! It's just like I'm facing Chad. It feels like a symptom of blood loss. It must have been because of the magic skill : Absorption earlier. Because I was hugging him before slamming him so that he made touch contact.

"HP and MP are a bit. We'd better end your suffering so that Panthera becomes ours. Oh, that's one thing I wanted to ask you before I slashed you." It is a tough opponent. No wonder Gen chose her as her woman. Strong, clever, cunning, sexy, and beautiful. A truly perfect woman.

"Is this the test that Gen gave you? Even he didn't even intervene here to the battlefield?" Alice asked, pointing the tip of her sword at my neck.

"It has nothing to do with it. Precisely because this assault of yours along with the Apocalypse hindered us from searching for it. Gen isn't here. She was kidnapped when we Panthera tried to take care of her." Alice narrowed her eyes making it even colder.

"Can you prove it? If you lie I'll make your throat this scabbard." Alice asked as she pulled my hair very hard as if hearing Gen not being here made her angry.

"Why would I lie if we both loved her. You deserve to know too, right?! Even though you're currently an enemy of his by joining yourself with Apocalypse." I answered frankly. Alice looked at Yuna. Yuna just gave a nod. Alice took her hand out of my hair. I could see some of my hair falling out.

Alice then turned around.

"Magic Skill: Manna Booster Release." After Alice cast the spell, my entire manna came back to its original state.

"Here, I'll give you one more bottle. Drink." Alice said she gave me the same bottle she gave me. I touched my ear.

"Kill, get ready to fire. Wait for my aba-abaku." My whisper. The unconscious Alice I was communicating through a hidden communication tool turned her back on me.

"Our deal's off, Regila. He's not here. Gen isn't here. " Hearing Alice's answer I was so stunned.

"Oh, so yeah. As his wife you are no different from him. Knocker from behind." Said the woman Alice called by the name Regila.

"Kill, change the target." Right after I gave the premonition to Kill Hunger to prepare to shoot Regila the sound of gunfire from the fortress tip sounded very loud.
