Mixed Blessing System-Chapter 325 Third Day Of Competition 3
When she least expected to be hit, Caroline felt a piece of Lothur's ax hit one of her shoulders, and she was then knocked backward off balance.
As she felt this, she sensed a pain similar in intensity to the one someone would feel when they hit their little toe on a wall, quickly expressing pain on her face.
But she did not have much time to concentrate on fighting Lothur or even suppress the discomfort in her shoulder as he acted against her again.
Lothur tried to bring down this blonde woman, taking the opportunity of her being off balance to take her to the ground.
It was much easier to defeat a fallen opponent than a standing one. So, he wasted no time and made the fighting moves he had learned in movies on Earth and perfected in this world.
Pow!
She felt Lothur's crawl and the blow he used to knock her backward, unable to escape him and falling.
In this situation, she became more serious. She tried to protect herself by putting on a defensive position to protect her face and vital organs. At the same time, Lothur stood up, attacking her.
He kicked some parts of her body while occasionally attacking the sides of her arms and legs with his weapons, just to hurt her superficially.
But the pain from superficial injuries was enough to disconcert someone who was cornered and had no means to counterattack, making the fight even more difficult for her.
Without realizing it, Caroline began to sweat and feel increasingly tense, listening to the noises of conversations in the background. At the same time, Lothur's voice told her to give up every few seconds.
"Give up, Carol. There's no need for you to go through this..." He said in his quiet voice, along with attacks that grew stronger to 'help' her make up her mind.
Caroline had used the excuse that Lothur could not fight her because she was a woman, but the truth was that this man had no problem hitting someone of the opposite sex.
He preferred to have a peaceful time with beautiful women. Still, in a battle, the fact that the other side was a flower would not stop him from defending his interests!
Caroline felt it in her skin, beginning to regret her bad luck of facing this opponent and still having to fight to the end because of her family.
Her house had a name to protect, something she could not damage by cowering in the face of an opponent!
So, she could only press her teeth together and endure the pain of being attacked by a man like Lothur while the time of the match passed.
...
Minutes later...
Finally, the match ended, and Lothur was presented as the winner by the committee of that platform, as he had been the only one to attack in the match.
At the same time, Caroline left the place with a look of resentment, with several bloodstains on her arms and her morale damaged by Lothur.
Her family was unhappy about the situation. Still, it was not as if any of them expected her to win anyway... It was just an eye-opener to see someone being so decisive against a woman, who also was the Duke's daughter.
So even this local expert was feeling a sour taste at the moment, losing another competitor to the Frost family and earning some more grudges against Lothur.
'That won't go on for long, little fellow...' He thought about it as he saw Lothur leaving the area, following alongside Elke to meet Viktoria and Annaliese for the next match.
...
Sometime later, the entire audience in the coliseum on this day was already in their seats around the central fighting platform, where the group matches were taking place.
In this place, more exciting fights took place happened at each moment. That brought joy to the ordinary people there, as the remaining competitors were stronger and showed more of their skills.
At the beginning of the tournament, many groups have cultivators at the middle part of the 1st stage. But now, most had average strength at the beginning of the 2nd stage, with the minority at the end of the 1st.
Hence, battles like the one between Lothur's group on the first day of the competition were happening more and more frequently, presenting great moments to the audience.
The families were also increasingly agitated as they had to reevaluate their alliances and strategies at the end of each day's competition.
Some were simply eliminated from the competition. So they had to consider how to behave to maintain their current relationships. Others had to adjust their battle plans to keep competing until at least the final.
But while all this was going on in this great coliseum, Lothur's group took the stage and began to fight, with this young man demonstrating his great endurance once again.
Their strategy remained the same as the first day. Lothur and Annaliese combined to defeat one of the 2nd stage cultivators while Viktoria dealt with the others.
That was the only way they could compete against 2nd stage people since they could not use items like the ones Lothur had the day before when attacking the Mouse Company.
But for now, their plans were working since, even knowing their strategy, the enemies had difficulty acting against someone with such speed as Lothur's.
The main referee of the Province Conference saw this from his VIP area in one part of the coliseum. He looked at the combat platform while holding a vial in his right hand.
If one were to look at it more closely, one would see a small clear glass vial the size of an adult human finger in his right hand, with a red liquid inside.
While he had such a thing in his hand, his disciple watched Lothur's match next to this old figure, ignorant of his master's thoughts.
'When I return to the capital, I will do the proper tests, even considering that this young man doesn't seem to be who I previously thought...' He considered, feeling that he was wrong but that it was worth checking this information to finalize the matter.
It cost nothing to try, and it was always better to eliminate the risk of uncertainty, even for 'small' situations. Thus, he would not waste what his disciple had achieved by following his orders after great effort.
And with these thoughts, he soon saw Lothur, Viktoria, and Annaliese beat their opponents, securing the last point of the day for the Frost family group!
That way, the competition standings were updated again, but without much change at the top, where most of the remaining competitors were.
