The Newbie Is Too Strong's
213. Power of the East
“I'm fine. So don't worry about me. You will know for yourself that I am not the kind of person who does not enjoy. I'd say no if I really couldn't. More important than that, what about you, Yuda? There is also an individual tournament tomorrow. Aren't you going to be exhausted by also going to this team tournament? Considering you recently entered a team tournament in the quarterfinals of the final.”
“I'm also fine, Areka.”
At least that's what Senior Areka said in the meeting yesterday. Be today our team sent me, Egi, Senior Areka, Kak Yuda, and Chika in this semi-final team tournament.
“Prepare...Start!”
Thus, the match from the referee began our match against the Rooster High School Team.
Chika immediately followed our planned tactics by spreading smoke barrier views.
Based on Lia's analysis, the cooperation of the opposing team is indeed very good, but there are cases where it is found that their team cooperation is too concerned with the visual senses with each other so that if the visual senses are blocked, the, then it is likely that their teamwork will soon collapse.
“Friends! Be alert! The enemy could be lurking behind us!”
That was how one of them who was likely the captain of his team shouted.
However, I am no ordinary assassin. It is rare for a player to be able to notice my impromptu attacks especially at the start of a match.
“Slash.”
“Akh.”
I also managed to eliminate their cleric who was the foundation of the team from the Rooster High School Team which caused them to be very difficult opponents to beat.
However, as expected of the former two champions at the year-end tournament last year, they remain very strong and tough even without the support of their buff cleric.
We also took the tactic of separating opponents into individual matches. Senior Areka faced the shield, Brother Yuda faced the swordsman, Egi faced the mage, while I faced their fighter where Chika at the back waited for the opponent to show an opening to make an impromptu attack.
“Buak, truck, truck.”
Now I understand after seeing it in person. The opponent's movements were really very efficient. It must have come from years of hard training. I admit that the out-of-the-island kids are really tough, especially the ones from the east.
However, I also did not lose to them. The movements of the fighters were quite fast, plus their attacks were extremely powerful. There was no way an assassin could defeat them in close combat in the usual way.
I also used my basilisk's poisonous fang dagger to deal with it.
“Buak, truck, truck.”
The fight went on stagnantly for a while.
“Wuuush.”
Sometimes, crossbow arrows from Chika come to support me. Unfortunately, the opponent fighter is also able to avoid every attack of the Chika arrows.
“Ukh! This smell..”
I saw the arrow that Chika shot. It was the stench of the fruit of the infernal melon.
If only it managed to scratch a bit of the opponent's skin, then it could be certain of the opponent's defeat. Unfortunately it's all for nothing if it doesn't work.
Though it had been a few minutes after the smoke was streamed which should have given the opposing team a considerable decrease in stamina, but it seemed they were all fine. Is this the power of the county child? One word for them, fantastic.
I had fought long enough with the opponent fighter, yet there was no sign of him loosening his defenses in the slightest. In that case, it would be difficult for me to take the gap in carrying out an impromptu deadly attack.
“Ukh!”
“Akh!”
I don't know the details, but it appears Senior Areka has managed to defeat the opponent's shield. But unfortunately, a few moments after that, Egi fell in the hands of the mage. Senior Areka also replaced Egi against the opposing mage.
“Sial! I am the number one holder. But these few times, I have always lost a step away from Senior Areka.”
I screamed in anger at my own incompetence.
“Buak, truck, truck.”
I fought with all the strength of the opposing fighter. But maybe because he realized it, the fighter managed to dodge well not to get hurt from my highly poisonous dagger.
‘Skill: groin slash’
“Trang.”
‘Skill: stab judgment’
“Buak.”
Whatever style I put out, the opposing fighter is able to defend well.
But we have the edge in this foggy arena.
“Sister Yuda, it seems we should enter the plan of the second stage.”
Although I had to cry after deciding this because I once again had to open the valuable joker card that I prepared for the professional tournament, but it did not matter anymore. Maybe it's time, little by little I show the Aura's ability to the world.
This time telepathic abilities. Thanks to him, we excel in terms of communication in the fight whose visual senses are blocked.
‘Skill: cross dimensional slash’
I did the same tactic when I hurt Jamer against Uncle Heisel before.
I looked like I was going to injure the opponent fighter so he glared in all directions to detect anomalies in the direction of my attack. But he couldn't find it at all.
That was obviously because he wasn't my target.
“Akh!”
It was the opposing swordsman that Kak Yuda was facing. I managed to hit it with a slam.
Then in one additional attack from Kak Yuda, the swordsman immediately participated in the game over in the arena.
Without wasting time, Brother Yuda immediately intensified the attack on the fighter opponent I was facing. An unexpected attack so he was a little late to dodge. Nevertheless, he was still able to avoid it well.
But, how could he immediately detect the attack? Was it from his killing intent aura? It doesn't feel like it. If that were the case, he would definitely not have made the mistake of being so late in dodging the attack.
I re-analyzed the situation and that's where I realized where the opponent fighter was able to dodge each of my attacks well and this time was able to avoid well the impromptu attack from Kak Yuda.
Eye sight. It seemed, he had the advantage of a sharp eye to observe every little detail of the opponent's eye movements to predict the direction of their attack.
I had indeed heard from Uncle Heisel that there were some fighters who were trained to fight like that. But since I thought that it was something impossible, then I just ignored it and considered it as an empty story of drunk people.
How not. How can we concentrate on our own style at a time when instead of their body movements, we should instead pay attention to very small parts such as eye movements.
Kak Keporin's skill in predicting the opponent's movements through their body language instead now sounds more plausible than all this.
However, if this is true, I can take advantage of it.
“Chika, I have a plan. Get ready to strike at the coordinates I showed.”
“I understand, Luca.”
What a shitty attack cooldown. I was forced to replace my weapon with the biggest one as well as the laziest one I used in this quick attack. My beloved moon scythe whom I have not seen for a long time.
‘Skill: lightning slash sickle’
It was a skill that distorted the room for a moment. However, in contrast to the cross-dimensional slash, the attack did not cross the dimension at all. The attack was just an attack similar to the combined principle between a boomerang and a missile. Only, for a brief pause, the attack would appear to disappear in the middle before hitting the opponent.
I also started running my tricks. I deliberately turned my black sphere eyes in another direction from the direction that my moon crescent attack was actually going to appear.
As expected, the fighter was lured. He turned his head towards where my eyes glanced.
Apparently, my guess is correct. He predicted the opponent's attack based on the direction of their opponent's own eyesight.
“Aaaakh!”
Finally, after fighting for quite a while, I managed to land one of my ultimate attacks on the opposing fighter.
The attack didn't just stop there. Chika's crossbow arrows containing hell melons infected with the hysteria bacteria variant 707 have been waiting to infect the wounds she made.
“Ukh!”
Unfortunately, the unexpected happened.
“Aaaaakh!”
“Chika!”
The mage managed to get Chika's position from the last attack and then swiftly eliminated her.
The black smoke disappeared. I, Senior Areka, and Brother Yuda also regrouped together.
The same goes for the two remaining opponents.
“Baso, you are too careless. I told you to always be on the lookout for that alchemist arrow attack.”
“I'm sorry, Sese. But isn't it thanks to me as bait, you finally managed to find his position?”
“This and that is another thing. Never mind, just take this purification medicine.”
Then unexpectedly, after taking the purification drug, the opponent fighter was actually able to recover from the symptoms of hysteria bacterial infection variant 707.
The opposing mage was apparently also not an arbitrary opponent.
