Chapter 4017: Greatest Challenge II Clang Clang Clang! The surprise remained in their eyes for a fraction of a second, before they came to attack me. If that was enough to deal with them. Then do not deserve their place here. They have thousands of experiences of such things; there are very few things, they haven't experienced. Still, it made them careful, and they would think, ten times, before launching a killing move. I hope, they do not do it, because I will kill them. "Hadis, there are three of us fighting you. Even if you are doing better, you won't be able to do it forever, eventually one of the attacks is going to hit you hard," as he came at me with air jets. Clang Clang! "Tell me that, when you do it," I replied and defended against his and Aros's attack, before dodging the attack jets. Both followed immediately with their air jets. What he says is not without merit. Here, I am fighting with everything I have and barely dodging the attacks by inches. One small mistake and wrong calculations will be the end of me. Still, I have not come to this castle to give up. I need to survive this, to get the reward, I want. I will survive. Rip! I just thought that when I got the cut waist by Iarys. It didn't feel and quickly applied a thin band-aid on it. It's hard to sense the attack from behind. The soul sense gives the omnidirectional view. In this place, I do not have even an ounce of soul sense. I need to fully be dependent on my physical senses and experience. I would have managed that, but these bastards have copied my designs. The jets are giving them speed to come at me. Their jects might not be as good as mine, but they are still good. Not to mention there are three of them. It wouldn't have been a problem if there had been two of them. I would have handled them with the jets, but three makes it difficult. It might be difficult, but will fight and survive. There is no other option. Clang Rip Clang! I defended, the attack, but once again injury appeared on my body. The armor had stopped most of the attack, but the cut still appeared. I sealed it and moved to defend against another attack, without wasting even a fraction of a second. Seconds passed and turned into minutes. I kept fighting them, studying them as they studied me. It is why, the rate of injuries on my body increasing. Soon, there are more than twenty cuts across my body. All of which had been sealed by my suit. Hun! A few more minutes and all of our expressions changed. Five have hit the main clock. They didn't stop it, but I could feel their ears twitching slightly. To hear the sound, but no sound came as seconds passed and turned into minutes. The gate remained closed; seeing that smile couldn't help, but appear on my face. "This is the challenge," I said. "Which, I will win," declared Aros as he came at me with another attack, which I defended with Hayats and moved to dodge Iarys's attack. I didn't, a cut appeared on my stomach. I looked at Aros and couldn't help, but question his decision to attack me. He is weaker than two. Once they deal with me and then Anna; they will attack him, before attacking each other for the top prize. Their scores are similar, all three of them except for me and Anna, have never been able to win the challenge. The same with the other two; they are with the keys. All those without the keys had not been able to reach this far. I am trying to say is taht he won't survive after me and Anna are done. These two finished him off, unless, of course, he is hiding his true strength. He might be stronger than both of them on the outside, but here. It's the rule. Rip Clang Clang! I didn't waste too much and continued with my defense. Taking another attack internally to defend the other two. If I had not taken Hayat's attack. I wouldn't have just received the cut. Their blades would have gone deeper than I would like them to go. Minutes passed and I continued to fight. They are coming at me everything they have, while I defended with what I have. Soon, half an hour passed and now there were cuts on every part of my body. Including my face and neck; I wasn't able to defend against them. One of which comes really close to my eye. Cut just below it. Half an hour more before it's all over. I will have to survive till then. It is hard though, now that tiredness has come catching. My whole sweaty and I felt like, if I stopped, I would down and sleep. I am really tired. Even my body has reached the limit; its only due to the strong, will, that I am continuing, but every minute I want to give up as tiredness is reaching higher and higher. Thankfully, I am not the only one tired. They too have become tired, and Aros; his attacks become much slower. Unlike us, he didn't have a boost from the air jets and had been pushing himself. I am surprised at the guy's willpower to push himself and keep pushing. However, I am glad he is tired because the cuts on my body had lessened in the past few minutes as the tiredness began to get a hold of them. Hun! Finally, the last ten minutes have remained. I was glad to see that, but soon my expression changed. I saw the red-haired horn coming toward me. She is bloody to every inch, but she is coming toward. I don't know why, she is targeting me. Given her rank. She could kill anyone to rise above. It didn't matter whether she killed me or Iarys or Hayat. She would be able to move up as long as she killed anyone, but it seemed like, she wanted to kill me. Soon she appeared behind me, with her eyes boring into my back. "Die!" she screamed and attacked, while Hayat and Aros moved, cutting my way to escape, while Iarys didn't move, he is still blocking one side and I do not trust him to go at him.
