A Core Ship From The Start-Chapter 390 - 303: Women Fighting_1

Chapter 390 -303: Women Fighting_1

Ogis appeared to be very aggressive, but Kula in response was just as fast. Not only that, to the onlookers, Kula’s movements were uncanny – she seemed to glide over the ground like a ghost, rapidly charging at her target with a graceful and agile posture.

“Huh? What? How did Miss Kula manage that?”

Upon witnessing this, Lorena widened her eyes in surprise, whilst Duanmu Huai just shrugged.

Although he found Kula to be as wild as a street kitten during the time he took her in, this move undoubtedly proved that she was an exceptional martial artist – similar to Felin, Kula can manipulate the power of ice, and that’s exactly how she utilizes it.

In fact, the reason Kula could sprint at such a speed is quite simple, as she used her ability to create a “path of ice” on the ground when she moved and formed ice blades on the bottoms of her shoes. So, a surface otherwise ordinary to others became as smooth as ice for Kula, allowing her to skate with ease.

“………”

Upon witnessing Kula’s charge, Ogis appeared taken aback, yet quickly snapped her fingers. The next moment, multiple longspear-wielding puppets suddenly assembled in front of Ogis. Holding spears like a brave cavalry squadron, they charged directly towards Kula. Meanwhile, Kula bent forward abruptly, causing the “path of ice” beneath her to rise, transforming into a ladder elevated towards the sky. Kula took advantage of the situation, leapt up to avoid the puppet knights’ charge, and swung her right foot directly for Ogis’s head.

Suddenly, the girl who seemed naïve presented a shockingly ruthless attack.

Watching the scene, Duanmu Huai flicked his eye. With Kula’s limited skills, she had difficulty making it into the knockout stage of the dueling competition swarming with players, hence Duanmu Huai only had superficial knowledge about her.

But now witnessing her fighting, Duanmu Huai discovered a side of Kula that was wholly different.

Although it may appear as just a standard kick, it is important to remember that Kula’s shoe soles were crafted into sharp ice blades. These blades are sharp enough to sever necks without issue.

So, Kula’s strike is essentially the equivalent of a head-on “Splitting Mountain with Force,” holding up a machete and striking straight down upon Ogis’s head.

If this were the real world, this blow would be sufficient to split her skull in half.

Nevertheless, Ogis is not one to stand still either, the puppet knights holding up the sword and shield next to her raised their shields to block Kula’s kick, while raising their long swords to rapidly rotate. With the speed and sharpness of a chainsaw, they intended to cut off Kula’s foot.

Kula’s reaction was quick though, upon missing her strike, she immediately condensed frost under her feet forming a thin layer of ice, then jumped up like a double-jump move in many action games, avoiding Ogis’s attack. As she flipped in the air, she swung her right hand, and a number of ice thorns materialized in the air and directly hit the rotating puppet army of Ogis.

“Bang!”

With that, the initial clash between the two came to an end. Kula landed behind Ogis, who turned around to face her again. Her puppet knights, like stars circling the moon, promptly regrouped in front of her.

“It seems Miss Ogis’s fighting style has changed a bit.”

Watching this scene, Lorena voiced her thoughts, and Duanmu Huai nodded in response.

“Yes, to be honest, if it’s just like this … well, it’s hard to say…”

To Duanmu Huai, he felt this style of combat seems more laborious than Ogis’s previous way of fighting. In his opinion, Ogis’s technique of manipulating puppet strings is very suited for combat. If she was unable to beat Ayin before, it was only due to the world’s constraints. It seemed a bit excessive to alter her strategy altogether now.

However, in this way, Ogis could not have beaten Ayin. After all, the competitors in the qualification match won’t change, and since Ogis has already passed it, it indicates that she has defeated Ayin. By using this? How did she manage it?

“No, that’s not what I meant, Sir Knight. I meant that Miss Ogis does not seem to be very calm.”

“Oh? Really?”

“Yes, she seemed quite aggressive just now, as if she wanted to defeat Miss Kula right from the beginning.”

“Indeed.”

Duanmu Huai had also noticed this, but he didn’t think as deeply as Lorena did. He simply assumed that this was a change in Ogis’s fighting style after learning a new way of combat.

Listening to Lorena, he still didn’t quite get it…

In any case, Duanmu Huai had never witnessed a girls’ fight in real life.

By contrast, Lorena seemed to have noticed something different in this situation.

“Indeed, both of them seem quite agitated! You can tell they’re about to have a deathmatch!”

Agitated??

Upon hearing Lorena’s comment, Duanmu Huai took another look at Ogis and Kula.

The former seemed expressionless, as did the latter.

Where is the agitation?

What are they getting excited about?

While Duanmu Huai was still puzzled, the two resumed their actions.

“Whoosh…!”

Miss Ogis lifted up her right hand, guided by her movement, puppets responsible for bows and arrows behind her fired arrow towards Kula rapidly. But Kula, facing the flying arrows, also attempted to evade it – however, in the very next moment her right hand was bound by an invisible power, fixing her to the spot.

“Oh… So that’s how it is!”

Upon seeing this, Duanmu Huai suddenly understood. Of course, he knew what it was. Clearly, Ogis was using her puppet threads to bind Kula’s arm, limiting her movements. From this point, Duanmu Huai could almost guess how she had defeated Ayin.

Ogis’ biggest weakness was that she didn’t have any combat abilities, which meant that even if she tied up Ayin with puppet threads, it was still unclear how Ogis herself could use it to attack. She lacked fighting capability, but now, with these puppets, it was no longer a problem for her. She could totally use the puppet threads to hold the enemies, and then let the puppet initiates the attack.

It seems there is some usefulness after all.

Seeing this, Duanmu Huai also relaxed his mind a bit, however, at that moment, something unexpected happened on Kula’s side. Facing her bindings, Kula struggled with force, but it was clearly not an easy task to break free from Ogis’s puppet threads. Then, a flash of light caught Kula’s eye, followed by her raising her hands high into the air and then forcefully swinging them down!

“——————!!!”

The next moment, countless chillings fell from the sky like a massive snowstorm covering the entire street. Ice blocks as big as hailstones whirled down from the sky, smashing heavily towards Ogis.

Even Duanmu Huai was taken aback by this move, he hadn’t expected Kula to use her ultimate ability…

“Bang bang bang bang bang !!!”

Under the assault of the snowstorm and hailstones, the threads Ogis used to bind Kula shattered instantly, and the puppets guarding her were smashed into pieces. Not only that, when the threads shattered, Kula once again flashed nimbly through the gaps and charged towards Ogis. At the same time, she lifted her right hand and thrust it forward. Accompanied by Kula’s movement, a sharp ice blade formed in her palm and it directly aimed at Ogis’s chest!

The next step is crucial.

Seeing this, Duanmu Huai also became serious. The puppets that guarded Ogis had been mashed into pieces under Kula’s snowstorm and hailstones attack and they couldn’t protect her now. And Ogis herself didn’t have combat skills, so she couldn’t use judo or defense to block this attack from Kula.

So, what will Ogis do?

In face of Kula’s attack, Ogis gave her answer swiftly – she simply flew up!

No, not exactly flying, at the beginning even Duanmu Huai thought Ogis had simply soared up. Not until he saw the puppet fixed on top of her head that he understood Ogis’s thought.

“I see, good work Ogis.”

Observing this, Duanmu Huai couldn’t help but clap his hands. He had originally though these puppets would only be a hindrance to Ogis, but now it appeared to be far from the case. Not only these puppet could help Ogis in the aspect of attack and defense, they also enabled her to move swiftly.

The puppets hovering in the air, were like a series of fixed points, thus allowing Ogis to swiftly relocate herself via pulling the puppet threads and using these fixed points, to evade the enemy’s attack.

How can I put it, it’s like the wire work in the movie, with people dangling from the wires. but for Ogis it’s obviously more convenient.

Now it’s clear, the existence of these puppets wasn’t a hindrance to Ogis, but a form of aid.

However, who will win this battle?

As far as Duanmu Huai was concerned, Ogis’s growth was astonishing for sure, but the combat power displayed by Kula was also remarkable. More importantly, Kula had a powerful attack – this was quite fatal.

During his previous fight with Sakazaki Takuma, Duanmu Huai noted that “ultimate attacks” from this world were very powerful. You need to know that logically, a common attack like Sakazaki Takuma couldn’t really cause any harm. Initially, Duanmu Huai thought of resisting those attacks with his own body.

But he hadn’t expected that after Sakazaki Takuma used his ultimate attack, the fist came with not only greater force but also much greater power than before. So much so that even Duanmu Huai couldn’t withstand it, and was forced to retreat.

Hopefully Ogis had learned some ultimate attack too – well, she shouldn’t have any problem.

Just when Duanmu Huai was pondering, Kula, who hadn’t landed a hit, stared at Ogis and lifted her hand again. A beam of light flashed, and the next moment a huge icicle appeared and rushed towards Ogis. But now, Ogis was clearly more adept at evading attacks. She moved backward at a speed that was almost impossible for a human, looking more like a ghost. Meanwhile, Duanmu Huai saw Ogis lifting her hand – another flash of light.

“——————!!!”

In the next moment, all the puppets around Kula started to spin wildly, like spinning saw blades engulfing Kula completely. Despite Kula trying to defend herself, the 180-degree all-direction attack exceeded Kula’s limit. In the end, her defense was shattered, and her petite body was hurled backwards, finally falling onto the ground.

“KO!”

Seeing this, Duanmu Huai nodded.

Clearly, the result is decided.
