Chapter 427 by Fiftyfiftyfifty Fiftyfiftyfifty

What do you do?

Unleash your Flare Bolt.

As the weapon illuminates, and your wound burns with pain, you sprint forwards and back into combat. With a swing of your sword, she deflects it easily, but then you spin around and try out something new--using this spell in close proximity. As you turn around, you aim the tip of your sword directly at her chest. "Flare Bolt!" you shout, and an explosion of fire collides with her body like a fiery bullet. She brings both of her arms up to take the full power of the attack, scorching her arms as she falls back almost outside of the ring.

At such a painful attack, Falcon looks exhausted and shocked.

Falcon then pounces like a cat, nearly catching you off guard. She strikes out with her palm, but you saw Hedi's fight. Quickly, you redirect the momentum of her attack to the side and dodge away, seconds before an explosion emits from her hand. You can see a burst of white energy disperse as a shockwave travels up into the air.

You take a step back. She looks upset, probably because her trump card was ruined. Though she takes a deep breath, and slowly lowers herself into a combat stance much like Hedi did before--some sort of martial arts position. Then, strangely enough, she sheathes her dagger.

"What are you doing?" you ask.

"It's nearing ten minutes already," she says.

Swiftly, she pulls something from her pouch and hurls it towards you. Though, your reflexes are quick enough to block it with your sword. It shatters--glass, possibly a vial of something. Some sort of liquid covers your body and it smells awful.

"What was that for?!" you ask again.

She brings her hands to her side--another strange stance. "Just in case."

I don't know what's going on, but I don't like it. This could be poison on my body, and she stabbed me earlier. If it enters my body... Damn it. There's probably nothing in the rules about using potions and stuff like that. I need to end this fight before this stuff does something bad. We've hurt each other about the same, though the wound on me is definitely deeper. But now I've seen her tricks.

"I'm ending this in one attack," she says.

That's a bluff. There's no way that's true. Still, I better get ready for whatever she's about to do.

The hands at her side are held like claws around something forming between them. It's a tiny flicker of light. The energy looks similar to what exploded from her palm earlier. She clenches her teeth and looks to be struggling, but you notice that the ball of energy is growing in size.

"Ka... me..." she utters.

Wait. What did she just say? No. That's impossible.

"Ha... me..." The energy ball bursts with a surge of energy. It's barely contained within her grasp.

The shock of hearing those words leaves you unable to speak. It's too surreal. In the moment, you're certain that you're dreaming.

"Haaa!" Falcon screams at the top of her lungs as she thrusts her hands forwards. The built-up energy unleashes as a beam travelling at the speed of a bullet right towards you.

It's not a dream!

The crowd ceases to make any noise at all as the giant rush of energy soars across the ring and straight towards you, and if there was a chance to dodge, it's long gone now. The oncoming light looks powerful enough to not only send you out of the ring, but cause you serious damage. The healers here aren't miracle workers. If you're blown to pieces, there's no going back!

You raise your hand in panic.

The energy collides with your ring Tol'vuus, and it absorbs the entirety of the attack. It's over quicker than it began.

Everything is silent.

Then, once again, the crowd bursts into applause.

"What the fuck?!" Falcon snaps. She then covers her mouth with a hand. "You... You're full of tricks, aren't you?"

"You're one to talk," you bark back. "Using attacks from Dragon Ball?!"

Falcon looks surprised by what you said, though you lower yourself down into the exact same stance as she did before.

What do you do?
