I aid directly for the back of her neck. I didn't hold back and went for the kill.
With the referee in attendance I didn't need to worry about my opponents well being.
The referees knew exactly when to stop the situation, and when they didn't then it was on them rather than .
I wasn't going to cry over their mistakes.
Xiu!
The thread shot nacingly in the direction of her neck. The distance between her and my hand wasn't far, and with the speed of the thread I didn't think she'd be able to react.
But I was wrong.
As if she had eyes at the back of her head, instead of blocking the attack she ducked her head lower and masterfully dodged the attack.
Tsss!
A small hole ford on the spot where she had been.
The speed at which she moved her neck was so fast that I hardly had ti to process the situation.
Her figure blurred and I felt a gust of wind heading toward my right. I thought about punching in that direction but decided against it and punched toward my left.
Bang—!
"Ukh…!"
I felt my fist connect with sothing sharp as I took a couple of steps back and looked at my fist.
Drip…!
As expected, blood leaked down from my fist as I looked up to see my opponent gathering her steps as she stabilized her body. Evidently, she too had been pushed back.
But she was quick to regain her bearings before she yet again disappeared from my sight.
Instead of panicking I kept my mind cool and extended my hand. Threads burst out, enveloping the area around in all sorts of ways.
'…This should slow her down a bit.'
At the sa ti, I pressed my foot against the ground and activated 'Step of Supression'
The entire area around was now covered in threads. Not only that but the gravitational force around was also heavy.
I surveyed my surroundings calmly.
With this set up I was confident in stopping her from reaching .
At least for the first few minutes.
Rustle—!
My thought process was shattered by the rustling sound of clothes. They ca from just next to , and I felt my eyes widen slightly as a figure appeared right in front of .
With her body hunched slightly, she thrust the sharp dagger in my direction.
I hardly had the ti to react.
Clank—!
A set of chains appeared at the last mont, moving toward my chest and blocking all the most important areas.
The dagger's course changed right after that as I felt sothing sharp stab at both of my thighs.
Pfttt—
The pain registered rather quickly in my mind. It was sharp and electric. My thoughts squird as I found myself unable to move at all.
Despite the pain, I knew that I couldn't be distracted. Focusing elsewhere but my thighs I looked in my opponent's direction and closed my hands, gathering all the threads that were scattered throughout and forming an impenetrable net.
This was the second trap that I had laid out.
In the rare chance that she did manage to get through to my defenses, I planned on creating this net to trap her inside it.
I looked into her eyes in hopes of seeing so sort of reaction from her but she remained relatively calm.
No, rather than calm… it was more that she was indifferent to the situation.
My brows knit at the calmness that she displayed but still nonetheless closed the net.
That was when her figure blurred.
Before I even had the ti to think, the net closed in on the surrounding area.
But…
"…!"
She was nowhere in sight.
Raising my head up, a familiar figure appeared in the distance. With two daggers in her hands, she stood and stared at with a cold look.
I felt my mind shake at the sight.
'Teleportation…?'

The broadcast was closely following the fights that were happening in the second round of fights. Unfortunately, because there were so many matches happening at once, they could only follow one at a ti.
It would only be until the round of sixteen that the matches would be arranged at different tis.
The first two rounds were more to test the perforr's endurance and stamina. The goal was to make them compete in situations where they weren't in top shape.
Karl announced, pulling over the screen where Aoife appeared to be.
Her match lasted a little longer than her previous one but she still was able to get rid of her opponent rather quickly.
The sa was true for the three other big four.
Johanna made her comnt.
Karl looked at Johanna aningfully.
That was when she answered,
Karl laughed.
Johanna kept her gaze on the replay. In there, Angela's body composition changed the outline of her gaseous figure appearing for a split second, allowing her to pass through the threads and reach Julien.
She then went on to speak,
