Bashed Into A Trauma!
"Hu-woooh!" Xiao Ruo acted by spinning on the spot and using her right fist to directly send away the 7 Sins Knight's long sword away, it was already 7 meters away the mere moment that it happened, and just as the baffled but then confident and serious-eyed 7 Sins Knight was about to summon it back into his left hand from his back as it had already returned, Xiao Ruo's left fist came to strongly land on his sternum and collarbone.
POM!!
-430.
Whoosh!
The 7 Sins Knight's body flew for about 13 meters before stomping flatly on the floor of the arena, but Xiao Ruo wasn't looking at it as she noiselessly stepped to the sides, bringing her body along each millimeter that her feet moved as if they were stiffly connected. Dodging an incoming bullet, she had to very suddenly and helplessly use both her hands to one; cover from behind her left leg to her front chest in a diagonal manner and another, to cover her right backside by raising her right elbow and facing it towards the sky as she folded her right arm to cover the back of her head all the way down to even the soles of her feet.
Bang... bang... bang.. bang.. bang... bang...
Tap, tap, step. Step. Tap.
-MISS!, -MISS!, -MISS!, -MISS!, -MISS!.
Lastly, Xiao Ruo hopped a tiny bit with not her feet nor even her gauntlets touching the floor as even her gauntlets were at least 7 centimeters above the arena's floor. And for why all of this? It wasn't because of the incoming bullets, as there was a vast distance still between her and those 2 annoying long-rifle-wielding ranged classes and as the sniper was fully focused on taking out Yunalesca and Natalia.
Rather, it was because of the quickly approaching and maddeningly-looking Master Kernti who was instead wielding an immense battle axe and a huge halberd with its head being as wide and thick in volume as the battle-axe's head!
CLANK-SHANK~!!
Both weapons were just longer than even 10 meters, and the halberd and battle-axe's head were as wide as 5 meters even! That alone and a reddy energy that was encompassing them were used with full strength to strike at the back of Xiao Ruo that was already covered by her own movements and Judgement of Pain.
"Dammit! Just di-huff, die!" Then, Kernti Master's immensely large battle-axe and halberd became small, but he still went on and clashed against her ginormous gauntlets without a fear.
"Hmph~!" With a slight frown, Xiao Ruo felt really detested as she suddenly adjoined both her fists and then separated them in a wide attack outwards, making the still crazily attacking Kernti Master to be sent flying away 2 meters and even receiving damage.
FWOOP FWOOP!!
-500, 500.
"AAAGH-huh? Oh, thanks!" Just as Kernti Master was screaming out in surprise and almost like a little girl, he was caught by the 7 Sins Knight who then pushed the Kernti Master's back and sent him back to the battle field before then summoning his left long sword and rushing up at Xiao Ruo.
"Hmm, hah!" Xiao Ruo lowered her back as she saw this, her beautiful pitch-black like abyss eyes clear and immovable when suddenly, a screeching sensation came from above her right shoulder and to her back. Xiao Ruo immediately after lifted her left fist above her right shoulder and grabbed at the right extended out wrist of Proper Self, the only one that was available. Because Xiao Ruo then, in a fit of annoyance, made a sudden and moment-fast backwards somersault jump and landed her right foot on the nook of her right arm. Hitting it hard and using it to impulse her body upwards, Xiao Ruo then hit the damned only healthy arm of Proper Self with her right fist while letting go of it with her left fist.
PAH-Whoosh...
POM!-CRAAACK!!!
-1,000.
"AAAAAAAAHH...!!!" A screeching sounding witch followed up the sounds of her own right arm's breaking sounds, by the time she recuperated her breath after a few seconds of pain, Xiao Ruo was already sending out 2 palms towards her back. One directed at her heart and the other one at her head, as Xiao Ruo's body was horizontally positioned with her legs pointing at the right of Proper Self!
-500, -1,000.
'Phew, just a little bit more.' Xiao Ruo said as she looked at the remaining 130 HP of Proper Self's character; at that mere moment, the 7 Sins Knight and Kernti Master struggled up to their feet and rushed madly to save their teammate. However, as they were moving and rushing towards Proper Self's laid down body that was sent for about almost more than 35 meters after getting hit from her back, it happened...
BANG BANG BANG BANG...!
DADADADADADADADADADADADADADADA...!!
Immediately after, both the 7 Sins Knight and Kernti Master's pairs of eyes turned gigantic as their pupils constricted. Bot because of the sound but because of the 'closeness' from the sounds of such and, of course; because of the fact that they started receiving countless notification from the system all at the same time as those sounds from behind sounded out nonstop.
*PING*...your teammate 'Kernti Mage#376' has been killed by enemy team player 'Master Please Accept Me'.
*PING*...your teammate 'Kernti Mage#911' has been killed by enemy team player 'Master Please Accept Me'.
*PING*...your teammate 'Kernti Councilor' has been killed by enemy team player 'Master Please Accept Me'.
*PING*...your teammate 'Resplendent Blade has been killed by enemy team player 'Little Curious Eyes'.
'That fast?! Weren't they still going at it from a distance just now?!' Both the 7 Sins Knight and Kernti Master thought, they didn't even receive a call for help nor a single voice message telling them or alarming them to come aid as soon as possible! How... could it be possible?! Nonetheless, as they looked back only to see a magnificent figure with a victorian-fashioned outfit and a hat and glasses that just charmed her own charms even more coming down from a huge Mecha, they heard another resounding stomp from where Proper Self's body was at.
WHOOOSH!
...WHISTLE~... WHISTLE! PAM!!!
-500, -500.
Instantly, both of the received another notification form the system and, as they read through it while turning their heads to look back at Proper Self's position, they exchanged the very same kind of dumbfounded and hopeless gaze to each other before finally taking in the sight of a bloody Xiao Ruo now looking down at them.
*PING*...your teammate 'Proper Self' has been killed by enemy team player 'Cute Rawrr'.
"Hmm!" Xiao Ruo was ecstatic after having stomped down to nothings the body of the already defeated and still Stunned and Dizzy -by then- Proper Self who was no longer visible to the eyes of nobody, not even the crowds because, duh, she was sent to hell in one stomp. At the same time, even though 30 seconds were almost up and her Decimating Leaps was about to be fully charged from its 2 usages, using it to destroy Proper Self had wasted 1 of such uses and restored it instantly by killing her too.
As such, she now had 2 total usages left along with the more than 30 seconds that had passed ever since she entered into battle, right after stomping punching down the 3 of them at the same time in a sandwich-like manner.
"Hehe." Shyly giggled a dummy Xiao Ruo as she brought both of her fists to the front of her face, behind her helmet, her features weren't visible but, the crowd onlooking all of this were already feeling uncomfortably... both excited and scared at the same time? In any case, if the crowd was already feeling as such just by hearing Xiao Ruo's giggles, then how could the 2 in front of her feel any less than that?
Kernti Master was trembling while the 7 Sins Knight was just hopeless; it wasn't due to fear or plain anger, but mostly because Xiao Ruo one-handedly terminated their trio party that was supposed to terminate instead the light-clothed magical and ranged players from The Order Team.
"Holy... you, lead the charge, I'll cover you. No matter what, protect me and only me, it's fine if you die!" While the 7 Sins Knight blankly charged up in accordance to Kernti Master's words, he thought to himself nonetheless, 'Of course it's fine, I don't lose any items, gold, levels nor equipment of any kind... just my dignity I guess.'
Nevertheless, the 7 Sins Knight didn't show any little tiny bit of unprofessional-ism as he used strong steps to advance towards Xiao Ruo who was now hopping to her left and right feet over and over again, as in preparing for some boxing or training with Big Sisters like Sammy, Diana and other Black Lotus instructors.
"Hoaaah!" The 7 Sins Knight waved his long sword from his left to his right, from the edge of the long sword touching his arm and wielded mainly by his right hand to in front of himself where Xiao Ruo's neck was. At the same time, Kernti Master took out a sawed-off shotgun on his right and a long scimitar-like large dagger with an opening on the middle and with an unusual width.
"Hnn!"
Clank. Whoosh-...BANG! Clank! Clank! Clank!
Xiao Ruo easily fend off the long sword's wave attack with her the back of her right fist and then used the back of her left fist to block the incoming explosive and corrosive bullets. Kernti Master had not only prepared some Scorch Element bullets but also some toxic bullets as well, even as Warmasters were to wield so many different weapons and focusing like this in one in particular would just be a waste instead.
But Kernti Master didn't stop there, oh no, he got closer in while 7 Sins Knight made an AOE attack that inflicted Dizziness onto anyone but was perfectly blocked by Xiao Ruo's huge gauntlets. With his scimitar-like dagger, Kernti Master barred an attack upside-down onto the middle and at the knuckles of Xiao Ruo's left gauntlet, using all his force to bring it down but only to have his eyes see the little flicker of Xiao Ruo's eyes after he failed to even move it an inch.
Right after Xiao Ruo flicked her fingers, she 'let' her left fist be 'pulled down' in the direction that Kernti Master was trying to force it before; however, just as it happened and as Kernti Master felt something bad about to happen... oh well, it happened.
SIWSH! ...POM!!
-500.
*PING*...you've been continuously hit on your stomach, consecutive damage has been triggered and you are now paralyzed for 0.5 seconds.
After receiving such a notification, Kernti Master then suffered another horrible sighting... Xiao Ruo used both her gauntlets to adjoined them next to each other with her hands skywards, then bashed them forth towards the 7 Sins Knight, sending him 20 meters away and even inducing the Dizzy altered effect at once for 1 second.
Stomp!! Cr-cr-cr-cr...
The next moment, Xiao Ruo stomped against the ground with both her feet and her fists pointing towards the ground, she used her Sun-Reaching, Earth-Diving Decimating Leaps as she would've placed her fists skywards if she was to use of her Decimating-Flesh Armor Set and the effect of her Judgement of Pain to change the laws around her to leap even higher.
Kernti Master saw this and, remembering their previous suffering at such a unsightly skill as well as Proper Self's very own personal suffering. He stored his useless dagger and useless sawed-off shotgun; those pair of useless weapons and took out a rectangular grey-green shield and a cavalry spear-thrust pole arm. And wasting no time, he placed his shield above, looking at the skies and seemingly remaining on the spot while he used his spear-thrust pole arm to penetrate it from below!
Tc-klan! Tshin~~!
A strange skillset was now seen and the pair of pole arm and shield now 'joined' together into this strange stance were covered by a translucent orange colored aura and seemingly practically made this way, with no sign of being the pole arm being 'forced' into the shield from below. Suddenly and noiselessly, the strange combination of spear-and-shield had its body expanded as the shaft went from a normal spear length to a very long one.
"Hyaah!" Taking the spear-shield in his hands, Kernti Master yelled loudly and then positioned it to aim above his shoulder as his torso was now skywards. He bared with it even though it was very heavy and difficult to manage, he seemingly used all his strength and sent it to his arms and right side of his chest to hold with dear wishes for survival but, at that very same moment, Xiao Ruo was already diving down towards him at last!
Whistle~!
"HAAAGGRR...!!" Kernti Master suddenly roared with the rest of his strength while looking at the sky, veins on his head and arms were ugly-looking as they were seemingly bulging outwards from his skin and even making his skin look so thin in comparison to before, but it was all useless when confronting a monster like Cute Rawrr.
STOMP!!!
CLASH!-CRACK-BOOM!
Xiao Ruo's body first reached the spearhead and shield with her fists leading the dive, the sound of it created a completely unexpected sound as her gauntlets destroying the spearhead and the shield at the same time were but like those of a huge cannonball breaking down an impenetrable wall from a huge castle.
Right after, Xiao Ruo's left and right fists continued to go down by destroying the shaft of the rest of the spear at an incredible speed and before long, Xiao Ruo's fists finally reached their desired destination as they struck harshly against Kernti Master's both shoulders!
-500, -1,000.
Crush! Whoosh!
"Kraaghl!" Kernti Master could only feel immense pain on the sides of his body as he wasn't even sent flying away but had his body dragged on the arena's floor for 7 meters while making a mess out of the floor like removing the tiles square by square with his upper spine; that he couldn't notice the system notification of having lost both his arms from that one and only attack alone.
Xiao Ruo had used up the effectiveness of her Decimating Leaps skill's 1 usage when colliding against the shield and the spearhead at the same time, which was what Kernti Master wanted but, she still had another activation, another usage for that matter which the Kernti Master couldn't know. After all, he only saw Xiao Ruo come down from the sky once and that was it, Proper Self's death wasn't witnessed directly.
With the second usage of Sun-Reaching, Earth-Diving Decimating Leaps, she easily destroyed to shred the weapon that Kernti Master had created with the last of hopes for survival that he had. Now this match only rested on the shoulders of his ranged-class type of players. But the 7 Sins Knight didn't thought so, he ran directly towards Kernti Master and even stored his long sword as he intended to carry away the young master. There was a 10 minutes limit anyway, and only about 5 minutes have passed, there could be a chance!
Stomp! Step, step, step, step, step, step! Whoosh-crrrr...
However, before he could arrive to kneel before his young master after dragging his feet on the floor, he suddenly saw Kernti Mater disappear into a puff. There wasn't a notification from him being killed as the young master still had about a few thousands of HP left still. So, there was only one way to know what happened...
"He... young master was forced to log off?" In quite-not-so-much-but-still-there a high pitched tone, the 7 Sins Knight said with a face of incredulity and feeling very, very damn helpless and worried.
"..." As for the crowd? Oh well, they were so as well, after all, it wasn't impossible to see such a sight on the Global Tournament but, it was rather incredibly rare. To see it now... a young, grown ass man put down like that by a little girl, wow. And while the 7 Sins Knight and the crowd were looking quite lost and thoughtful to that sentiment, Xiao Ruo received a message from Natalia which prompted her to make hurried steps towards the back of the 7 Sins Knight, her two ginormous gauntlets raised and ready for another bout of barraging attacks.
. . .
Back to the western-central area of the arena.
Yao Yao suddenly felt something go off from the very front and even far ahead, behind the eastern-central area of the arena where their enemies came from. At once, she opened her voice communications and began speaking immediately, "Big Sis Yona! I think that those upfront are making a bombing situation!"
"...What do you mean, Little Yao?" Yona took some time to speak for as, well, there was never really a chance to have this kind of conversation before...
"Mn! I think they're using bombs implemented with Elements! They're probably thinking of creating a kind of barrier that will emerge at the first incoming attack, tell the others to keep their shooting and spellcasting down!" Yona thought for a little, nodding as she managed the enormous electrifying magic and then said, "Alright then, I'll warn them but, can we still go along with this?"
"Ah, this? Yup! All fine, I was just saying in case anyone got w-worried, hehe." Yona wanted to slap her forehead a little bit and slightly, but she couldn't lose control of her immense magic-control right now and also, that act was for Yun Beishang's donger only. Cough, in any case, after a few more words, Yona bid farewell to Fosk Yao and then went over to communicate with the others.
Lastly, Natalia communicated directly with Xiao Ruo who was at that time beating down ruthlessly and while having fun, the remaining 7 Sins Knight whose HP was already at 1,500 HP.
Swish-Pom!
-500.
Xiao Ruo sent a right fist at her opponent's chest and then picked up herself and said to Natalia through communications, "Mn! I'm ready, let me just pinch this wormy to death, Big Sis! Hehe."
Step, step, step, step!
As she was speaking, Xiao Ruo charged once again to the 7 Sins Knight, she then delivered a couple of punches to the center of his body which were all blocked off by his long sword but, with the weight of her armor alone and then with her gauntlets, she was forcing him back and back until he finally lost his balance. As soon as his back touched the ground; he, the crowd, his teammates and The Order Team members already knew it, he was dead.
