Olga jumped high, making the audience gasp. And as soon as the back of Yua’s head hit the ground hard, they cringed. The sound caused by the impact was so terrible and should not happen to the human body.
“Holy shit!!! Holy shit!!! Holy shit!!!” The audience screamed like crazy. They had never seen such a movement in their lives. Something simple but deadly.
Instead of standing up, Olga fell along with the kunoichi. The referee examined the two women and started counting.
“One!!!”
Olga forced her super stiff body to move. Meanwhile, Yua was still lying face down on the ground.
“Two!!!”
“Are you okay, Yua?” Raymund gulped hard. He couldn’t imagine himself in Yua’s position. That move from Olga looks so nasty.
“Three!!!”
“Ah, I’m a little dizzy, sir.” Yua hissed.
“What about your neck?”<sub>.</sub>
The kunoichi chuckled. “Did you forget? A race driver must have a strong neck to fight the g-force.”
“Four!!!”
So, Yua put both her palms on the ground, then pushed her body, lifting it up.
The referee gasped, and Olga widened her eyes. The red-haired woman couldn’t execute the move properly because of her condition. However, it should still be deadly. Even if Yua’s neck hadn’t been broken, the kunoichi should have felt unbearable pain, preventing her from getting up.
“F-five!!!”
However, the kunoichi struggled to get up, even though her body was shaking.
“Six!!!”
The two women still couldn’t stand up straight. Their palms still touched the ground. The audience cheered them on in turn.
“Olga!!!”<sub></sub>
“Yua!!!”
“Damn….” Yua smiled as she blinked one eye, trying to endure the pain in her neck and the numbness that was starting to run through her body. “I’ve always been like this, unable to see anyone stronger than me. I want to beat them.”
“Seven!!!”
The two women briefly let their palms off the ground, but they fell again.
“I acknowledge your determination and ability, Yua Nakagami.” Olga chuckled. “Ah…. It’s weird. I’ve never felt joy while fighting…. And I don’t know why this happened.”
“Eight!!!”
“C-careful, you can get addicted to this feeling.” The kunoichi had difficulty speaking. Her consciousness has begun to diminish.
“Ah, I think it’s more fun to serve my customers.”
“Nine!!!”<sub></sub>
The two women took a deep breath, forcing their bodies to stand up.
“Ten!!!” The referee signals the bell ringer.
The kunoichi fell back down while Olga had managed to stand on two legs. However, a secondter, the red-haired woman fell to the ground. Her mental and body could no longer withstand the paralyzing poison.
Even so, the referee still raised her hand.
“The winner is Olga!!!” The host’s voice is more emotional.
The cheers of the audience were also different from usual. They all did standing apuse for the unbelievable match.
“Excellent, excellent!” The host’s speech became somewhat discordant because of what had happened. “These two great women don’t want to lose to the others. This is something extraordinary!”
Olga looked at the kunoichi, who had not moved from the ground. The healers were already running towards the two women.
“If the semi-finals are this great, I can’t imagine how tomorrow’s final will be.” The host took a deep breath. “Don’t forget,dies and gentlemen! The match between Elise Fairchild and Olga will be held tomorrow afternoon, after sunset! Be a witness to the history of the Kozlov family’s first tournament!”
***
Yua opened her eyes and what greeted her eyes was a white ceiling.
“So, I lost?” The kunoichi rubbed the nape of her neck. She still felt a bit of pain in that area. “Damn, I’ve already spent a lot of Elise’s money on those tools.”
“Well, the semifinalist also gets a prize.” Renee, sitting beside the couch that Yua was using, shrugged her shoulders. “You can pay off your debt to herter. But sadly, maybe you can’t buy special booze that can make you drunk. Maybe in the realm of God, there is something like that. It must be expensive… I don’t even know if the currency here will apply in that ce… Ah, forget my rambling…”
The kunoichi wore a faint smile. “Well, but I don’t think my master will allow us to use the money. I think the reason he wanted to send us to this tournament was for the prize money.”
“Huh?” Renee raised an eyebrow. “He’s a jerk!”
Raymund cleared his throat. “No, I won’t ask you for a penny. The money you get is yours.”
Yua stared at Elise and put her index finger to her lips while Renee was still fuming at Raymund.
“Great, you guys make me look evil in Renee’s eyes.” Raymund Snorted.
“Are you okay?” Elise slightly rubbed the kunoichi’s head. “You passed out all night.”
Yua was silent because she didn’t expect Elise to make that gesture. “Well, I’m feeling pretty good, though some parts still hurt.”
“A healer has taken care of you. She said you just need to rest.” Renee added.
The kunoichi looked deeply into Elise’s face. The female warrior instantly avoided eye contact.
“The real question is, are you okay, Elise?” Now it was Yua who asked.
Elise didn’t answer and kept looking the other way. Her expression was almost the same as after she used the blood steal skill: full of tension.
“She will fight a mad woman who can survive paralytic poison without an antidote.” Renee took a deep breath. “Of course, she’s very worried.”
Yua closed her eyes, massaging her forehead a little. “Do you want to win, Elise?”
It took some time for the female warrior to answer. “Honestly, I don’t know, Yua.”
Maybe this was just an event that wouldn’t threaten her life, but that didn’t mean Elise could face it without mixed feelings. She had witnessed how lethal Olga was.
Even her presence can sometimes make Elise’s heart shudder.
“If I may give you a suggestion…. Though it seems like you won’t like this.” Yua cleared her throat, not looking at Elise. “Perhaps, you should use that blood steal skill if you want to win.”
The cold voice of the kunoichi made Elise feel like her heart was being stabbed by a thousand needles.
