Dysfunctional - An Assassin's Guide to Reincarnating in Another World Chapter 460 459 - Exhibition Matches(Part 2)

Point-of-View: Belia Lasmodeus

———————————————————————————

"Let's keep the show going, it's ti for the second exhibition match! Here's hoping it's an intense as the previous fight! And let's see how my fellow announcer performs, shall we!?" Exclaid Rion loudly, pumping up the crowd.

Oh, he's talking about ...heh, announcing and comntating on the matches of the main tournant was fun and all, but watching all the matches play out also made feel kinda antsy and restless, itching to get in the ring and fight too.

"Hey, you need a bit of ti to get to full power, right? I don't mind waiting around for you to power up," I offered my opponent with a grin.

"Hmph, don't patronize . I don't need your charity," She huffed in response, as she tucked her hair behind her left ear with a confident smirk.

"As you wish, but don't co crying to once I beat you in no ti at all," I retorted smugly.

"Keep talking, I'll make you eat those words," She countered, as the safety barrier activated around us.

Fuo Wesroh, one of the most powerful humans in the world...but she requires multiple steps and a bit of ti to get to her full power. And since she so rudely rejected my offer, I won't make it easy for her to transform.

"It's Fuo of Abyss versus Belia of the Rustlands, should be a thrilling contest...let's get started, BEGIN!"

Imdiately, Fuo, reached into her pocket, and activated a barrier around the safety barrier, a triumphant look on her face. What did she just-...uh-oh.

It's an anti-spell casting barrier. Except for Elental and Divine Magic, I can't use regular spells like teleportation or defensive barriers.

Suddenly, several Werewolves, Werehyenas and Orcs appeared and shot towards , while she simultaneously transford, absorbed solar energy and ford an orb of artificial moonlight in her palm.

Huh, I think she's gotten a lot faster at doing that. I swiftly destroyed her summoned Monsters with a blast of Weathering Magic, before quickly flying up as several more imdiately took their place, appearing right behind .

Close call, but those Monsters are useless once I'm up in the air, so-...ow! What the...!? Sothing stung my face!

I then spotted it, buzzing around ...a Pixie, huh? I fired out a lightning bolt as I began to try and zap again, destroying it, before several more Pixies appeared all around , firing their stinging solar beams at .

Grr, they don't hurt that much, and I can easily heal the bits of damage they inflict, but this stinging pain is really annoying!

I blasted out a shockwave of Weathering Magic to destroy them, before letting out a startled gasp as sothing fell on from above...an Orc!?

Before it's weight could could make plumt back down, I quickly killed it with a blast of flas, stabilizing myself in midair as the weight pushing down on disappeared, before quickly flying across to evade as a rapid solar beam ca shooting towards .

Ah, crap, she finished powering up. I have to admit, she's pretty good at using her Monsters. And the zippy way she flies is kinda annoying and difficult to read too, sort of like a fly.

She then rapidly shot towards as she fired out a couple of ice arrows my way, which I used Weathering Magic to turn into water, before she closed in on and ford an ice dagger, slashing at my neck.

I narrowly avoided it as it grazed my skin, before she spat out an ice needle from her mouth, which pierced through the top of my ear as I quickly tilted my head out of the way to avoid it hitting my eye.

I then opened a portal behind myself to try and get away, she swiftly responded by blasting out a deafening howl from her mouth, which struck my midsection right as I retreated into my portal, erging at the other end of the ring.

Ughh, I feel sick. My body feels all numb and wobbly, and my ears are ringing too...this is the worst!

I fired out a barrage of lightning coated water blasts and wind enhanced fireballs at her as she shot towards , evading so of my attacks and canceling the rest out with sharp bursts of her solar beams, rapidly closing the gap between us.

Damn it, I'm too rusty, she's not even faster than ! I'm definitely a bit slower to respond and react than I usually am, what a pain.

I could use a bit of Divine Magic to destroy her barrier, but I feel like doing so would be an admission of defeat...my power level, strength and speed are all significantly higher than hers, a little handicap shouldn't give her this much of an advantage!

Also, once my current supply of Divine Magic runs out, there's a pretty solid chance that I'll never be able to replenish it, so I have to use it sparingly.

As she closed in on and drove an ice spear straight at , I evaded her thrust, wincing as it gashed my right side, before I grabbed her spear and fired out a powerful lightning blast from my mouth at her.

She quickly spun across to evade it, gritting her teeth as I struck her left shoulder, before she suddenly summoned an Imp right in front of , which snarled and swung its claws at my face.

I destroyed it with a pressurized water blast, before my eyes widened in alarm as she fired out a solar beam at , which hit my midsection and sent my plumting down and crashing onto the ground.

Ow, that really stings...okay, I'm just gonna unleash everything I've got right now, because I'm just that frustrated.

As she swooped down towards , I rapidly blasted out several waves of Weathering Magic, causing her to abruptly halt and evade my attacks in alarm.

I then dropped down into a portal as she zipped across the air, erging right above her and dropping down towards her.

She stiffened and ford an ice blade, slashing it up at as I closed in on her, which I turned to water with my Weathering Magic and fired another another Weathering blast at her from point-blank range.

She quickly ford a thin layer of water above herself to block my attack, before I swung my fist down at her, easily bursting through the thin wall of water and slamming my fist onto her face, right as she fired out a solar beam and struck my chest with it, before the force of my punch sent her plumting down rapidly.

Ow, my boobs! I really hate those solar beams of hers...

She managed to halt her fall in midair, grimacing as her orb of artificial moonlight began to fade. Her solar energy won't last forever either...the longer this goes on, the weaker she'll get, and subsequently, the greater the advantage I'll have.

I swooped down towards her while forming a lightning coated water blade, swinging it across as she fired ice arrows up at , deflecting them away with ease.

As she blasted out another deafening howl, I reacted in ti and opened a portal beneath myself and flew into it before her sound wave reached , before I erged right below her, slamming my fist onto her butt and eliciting a surprised cry from her, before her heel slamd square onto the middle of my face, breaking my nose.

As I reeled back in pain, slightly dazed, I felt several strikes hit my torso, as she unleashed a furious barrage of punches and kicks onto . Hm? Her strikes...they're getting slower and lighter bit by bit...

She then slamd her elbow onto my midsection, before forming an ice blade and driving it towards my throat in an attempt to finish off.

Right before she could pierce through, I swiftly grabbed her wrist and stopped her, the tip of her blade piercing my skin.

"Not bad, you almost got ...but unfortunately, you ran out of ti," I smirked as I t her gaze.

"Kinda hard to take you seriously with that bloody nose," She responded wryly, before I fired out a blast of Weathering Magic at her, the safety barrier activating and teleporting her out.

Sohow, that wasn't a very satisfying victory...yeah, it's probably my broken, profusely bleeding nose. Also, several spots on my body are stinging like crazy thanks to her solar beams. Well, whatever, it's easy enough to fix...Restoration Magic!

There, that's a lot better...but the win still feels kinda hollow. I really didn't do well at all, guess that's what happens when I take it easy for months. Training doesn't affect my body in any way, so I don't bother with it, but I should probably spar every now and then to keep my senses sharp at least.

"And the winner is, despite a sowhat sloppy performance, Belia of the Rustlands!" Announced Rion, kinda annoying a bit...yeah, I know I was sloppy, you don't have to spell it out, you know!
