"Bammm!" my flaming sword hit hard on his. Instead of flying away, my opponent controls his body expertly and transfer all force into his legs. He looks several steps to diffuse the blow and finally stood on the edge of the ring. I am not going to give him any chance to revive this fight as speedily followed him and kicked his chest with my full strength. "Bam!" He moved his ax front at the last moment but it it is no use. This kick is not for injuring him but for shoving him off the ring as he already on its edge. "Thud!" He wanted to stabilize himself but the force of my kick was strong enough to throw him out of the ring. "Winner Micheal Zaar!" said referee and applause rang out from the audience. This fight may have lasted short but it was really fulfilling, especially after the tie of my fourth fight. This fight may seem easy but it was really hard, after my tie with Anissa, I thought very hard about the mistake I made when I was fighting her. In the four next fights, I had a chance to rectify my new strategy. The fighting strategy I made for fighting in the competition is unconsciously based on my fights with the monsters as barely got any chance to fight with people. In the first three fights, I wasn’t able to know the flaw in my strategy as the opponents were too weak but after my fight with Anissa, I was quickly able to know my mistakes and was able to correct them in future fights. Because of that, the fight I fought earlier seemed easy as I am able to use every strength of mine at its best. With this fight over, my position in Top 50 had been cemented, even if I win or lose the fight, it is not going to affect my position in the top 50. I went back to my seat and watched the fights as this is a time when fighting at theirs. Everyone is fighting for the spot and those who have slight chances are giving their all. This is one of the best time to see the extent of your opponents ability, only in a high-pressure fight like this would one will take out all of his trump cards. People were fighting like crazy in every ring and I am having difficulty concentrating on one fight as all of them are interesting. Still, I watch the fights of those, who could be my opponent for my last fight. As I kept watching the fight, I was quite blown away seeing some fighting movements. They were nothing special if it were performed normally but you make a slight change and add a personal flavor, you a will a getting beyond your expectations. Though it happened very few times, it still happened and gave me precious insight which could help me in my fights. Lily seemed to be doing quite well if she won this fight, she will have a chance to enter the top 50. The unofficial list is already published, this list contains the name of those who have already made into the top 5O. My name is on that list, so is my 9th opponent and 4th opponent, both of them had made into the list. As I read the names on the list, one name caught my eye and made me most surprised. It is my 6th opponent, his rank 56th and when I fought him, he seemed average. My fight with him finished in just four minutes, it would have finished sooner if not for him being too sleeper due to his speed type ability and skill. The previous fights he fought, he won them all by due to his exceptional good luck. Most of the people he fought were weak and against stronger ones, he won because of silly mistakes they made and he quickly exploited him. He had already finished fighting all ten of his matches and he lost only one fight which is against me. One couldn’t help but praise his luck when one looks at his battle, he is one lucky son of a bitch. Time passed by, Lily won her fight and went for another, which she seemed to lose. "Ting!" I was just thinking when my time would come to fight, just the sound of my holowatch rang out, informing me, it is time for my last fight. When I looked at my opponent is I became very shocked, if Lily were near me right now, she would have definitely told me to relinquish, seeing who my opponent is. My opponent is one of the strongest in my group. His rank is No. 5, only 2 points away from being perfect scores and also elite from Top 7 organization. Seeing him my opponent, I turn very happy, fighting him will give me a clear indication about the power top brass of this competition. This time I did not bother read or watch more info about my opponent as I already doing that since morning. As I am walking toward the ring, I am feeling quite shaking, this is not shaking of fear but of excitement. I am feeling very excited to fight this opponent. As I enter the ring my opponent was already there waiting. He seemed very disinterested in fighting as he did not even glance at me, seeing me entering the ring. I also did not say anything seeing him disinterested. "Both of ready?" referee asked as a formality, seeing both of us activating our artifacts. "Fight!" he shouted. The referee shouted loudly but both of us didn’t move from our spot. "Fire strike!" seeing he is still not interested in moving, I launched my attack. Let’s see if you move or not in front of my firebolts. He looked up as he sensed the fluctuation from my skill and next moment both his shield and defense skill activated one after another. "Ping ping ping!" all three of my bolts collide against him, two were defended by his shield while the last one by his broad sword. A looked of surprise had appeared on his face but he quickly masked. As I took a sip of potion and about to launch another fire strike, I sensed a power fluctuation and saw him coming toward me speedily. He is using speed type skill, I thought as I saw him coming toward me. I did not move from my spot seeing him coming toward me, I kept rooted on my spot. "Furfur!" just when he was two meters away from, I ignited two jets below my feet and flew into the air. I was about to launch my attack through mid-air as I did with my previous opponent when I sensed the strong fluctuation. I immediately activated sky steps and look down to see the green arrows coming toward me. They are already halfway into the distance. Its good thing, I already activated sky steps, at least I will able to dodge half the arrow. Leveraging the sky step, I took another jump while taking my already activated skill as a defense. "Ping ping ping!" "Puchi! Puchi!" some arrows, I had dodge, three arrows I had countered but last two I failed to do so as they pierced through my right leg and waist. Ignoring the pain, I was about to create the second foothold of sky steps when I saw another barrage of arrows right in front of me.
