Battle of Ascension

Chapter 228: Checkmate!



Chapter 228: Checkmate!

The hurricane was big enough until Crimson Princess who was far away could see the hurricane. Even though she was curious about what happened there, she could not go over to check because of the Lamia before her, she was hard to deal.

Meanwhile, Mumu was dealing with Arjare, the male Naga. But her situation was better than Crimson Princess as she was in the advantage.

In the place where Randy and Orphi took a battle, the hurricane swept over 100 meters area. The fire died out and the trees were blown away because of the hurricane.

The hurricane lasted for 10 seconds and in the middle hurricane, Orphi the female Lamia stood while her spear stabbed down. The confident smile and the arrogant smile on Orphi's face disappeared. Currently, on her face resurface a shocked look as she looked down.

Below the spear, there was a man wearing a pitch black armor which shrouded with a crimson flame.

Of course, the man was Randy. When Orphi suddenly appeared before him earlier, he immediately used Dragon Scale on his armor along with an additional skill of his Inferno Set, Combustion.

With these two skill activated, his defense was in max, Randy strongest defense. It proved the spear could not even scratch Randy's Inferno Cuirass in the slightest. But because the force behind the spear was strong, strong enough to pin him down until he could not move.

Earlier, he wanted to use his Shadow Drive but realized he could not handle the might of the hurricane. If he used Shadow Drive and moved on Orphi back, he would get the same fate as the trees which getting blown away by the hurricane. So he could only let himself get pinned down by Orphi.

Orphi herself was shocked as Randy survived from her attack. Even though it was not her strongest skill, however, she attacked with all her might. She thought Randy would die for sure, but let alone die, her attack didn't even leave a scratch on Randy's armor.

Human in level 155 could survive from her assault without even leaving a scratch. Lamia, a serpent who got Beast God blessing, level 413 Mythical Grade Beast, and she could not even injure the level 155 human.

'Don't tell me his armor is Mythical Grade Armor?' Orphi wondered in shock as she looked at the unscathed low-level human.

Meanwhile, Randy took this chance, using his Shadow Drive vanished from Orphi's grasp, and moved on her back. Randy without hesitation used Resonance Strike as his dark red Sword Energy and crimson flame enveloped his Infernal Blade.

"You should not get distracted in a fight!" Said Randy as he slashed his sword on Orphi's head. He sure would hit the distracted Orphi, but what happened next shocked him.

Orphi turned her body back and her eyes met Randy's eyes as her lips made a mocking smile. While she was turning her body back, she flicked her spear too. Orphi already read Randy's move from the start.

But despite having his movement being read by Orphi, Randy's face remained indifferent.

"Heh, your movement is easy to read," Orphi sneered at Randy. She was having a high confidence in her spear. If she could blast Randy away for the first time, then she could do it again for the second time.

However, she underestimated Randy too much, when Infernal Blade which was being enveloped by Sword Energy and Fire Elemental Power clashed with her spear, she felt a great force pushed her back.

Orphi retreated for a few meters back after the clash. She felt it, she felt Randy's sword attack was not only one strike but three strikes at once. Also, each strike was becoming stronger and stronger which pushed her back.

Just as she wanted to rush back at Randy, she saw a black slim long sword shot toward her head. She slanted her head to the left, dodging the incoming sword.

Swoosh!

The Darkness passed Orphi and pierced to the ground with over ten meters away from Orphi.

Based on Randy reaction, Orphi realized Randy was not a pushover. She held her spear with two hands, her right hand was on the spear back part while her left hand on the front of the spear.

Wunggg!

After that, the spear released a buzzing sound and glowed in the green light. Closely after that, she flicked her spear to the front, to Randy's direction which was in her front.

Whoosh!

The spear released out a tornado, shooting toward Randy.

Randy was aware that he could not dodge the tornado, even he could dodge the wind, he would get blow away by the wind. The only choice was to move with his Shadow Drive, but he could only Shadow Drive to move to a shadow in 20 meters area and the only shadow in 20 meters area was Orphi's shadow.

The hurricane earlier blew all the surrounding trees, so there was no shadow in a hundred meters area. The only shadow here was Orphi's shadow. Thinking here, Randy figured out what Orphi designed for him.

'She already planned for this since she used her hurricane skill earlier,'

There were only two choices here, getting blown away by the tornado or dodged the tornado with his Shadow Drive, and took another blow from the prepared Orphi.

Nevertheless, Randy smiled at this. Even though he could guess roughly what Orphi's plan was; Randy still calm and collected. He immediately used his Shadow Drive, dodging the incoming tornado.

But before he used his Shadow Drive, Randy threw Infernal Blade on his right hand at Orphi, but the Infernal Blade deflected to the Orphi right because of the tornado and pierced on the ground over ten meters away from Orphi.

Orphi only looked in disdain at Randy's futile effort. After that, she noticed Randy vanished in his own shadow, and Orphi made a triumphant smile. She immediately spun her body back, flicking her spear while a green glow enveloped her spear.

But the spear missed as there was nothing on Orphi's back. Where Randy supposed to appear, but Randy was nowhere to be seen.

Orphi stupefied as Randy didn't appear as she predicted. The only shadow in a hundred meters area was her shadow, but 'Why the human doesn't appear in my shadow?'

"Looking for me?" Suddenly she heard Randy's voice from his right. Promptly after hearing Randy's voice, Orphi turned her head to the right, and only to see a flame in crescent blade came over her.

Orphi immediately crossed her spear on the front, blocking the incoming crescent flame.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Closely after the crescent flame collided with Orphi's spear, it exploded. Not only once, but it was three explosions as three times booming sound could be heard. After the explosion, Orphi enveloped by a crimson flame.

"Human! You have succeeded in making me angry! I will show you my WRATH!" Orphi shouted and suddenly the flame which caused by the explosion was being swept away by the hurricane.

"Empty drum gives a loud sound," Randy chuckled could be heard from Orphi's back.

Orphi immediately flicked her spear on her back, shooting out another tornado, but Randy was not there. Somehow, she felt the voice was coming from inside her head.

Suddenly, an ominous feeling aroused inside her heart, after that, she felt a danger came from her left. He turned her head to the left and only to see a dark red energy in the crescent shape shot toward her.

Uwaaa!

Orphi cried out, and a tornado enveloped her body. Afterward, she crossed her spear forward, blocking the incoming Sword Blade.

Boom! Boom!

Two booming sounds blew out and this time Orphi succeeded in blocking the crescent blade smoothly. But the dangerous feeling was still inside her heart. She turned her back and saw Randy on the air. He brandished the Infernal Blade in his right hand on her neck.

Even though it was a sneak attack, Orphi could still dodge the incoming sword, but just as she wanted to dodge, she heard a roar which made her mind blank and dizzy.

Roar!

Weng!

Orphi's mind was buzzing but... even the dizziness attacked her mind and the roar made her mind black for a second. She managed to move his body with her strong will.

Splash!

The Sword Energy hit Orphi's neck, but the cut was not serious for her. She knew she already lost to level 155 human. In the split second, she took out a violet gold scroll, but before even she could use it, there was another roar attacked her mind.

The violet gold scroll fell to the ground as her mind could not bear the second roar. Afterward, she saw a foot before her face.

Bam!

The kick was blown her away for ten meters. Closely after that, she saw Randy appeared before her even before she could get up.

Orphi saw a human wore a black armor with two black long swords in his hands which enveloped by Sword Energy and flame. After that, the level 155 human which she looked down raised the sword in his right hand and stabbed at her left shoulder while the sword in his left hand stabbed her right shoulder.

The sword pierced her shoulders until only the sword's handle could be seen as the sword's blade pierced to the ground. After that, another slim and long black sword appeared in the human's right hand.

The human put the sword on her neck and said in a calm voice, "Checkmate!"
