Reincarnation Sim Game-Chapter 121 – After the Sunset

The sun had just set a few minutes ago. Elise stood in the middle of the arena, catching her breath to stay steady. Like in the previous match, she was focused on the strategy prepared by her master. Besides that, she also kept on remembering Yua’s words. Olga still hasn’t fully recovered from the paralytic poison. In that case, her attacks won’t be able to bring down Elise quickly.

The female warrior gulped as Olga finally came out of the gate. The red-haired woman glared at her opponent and walked with firm steps, showered with voices cheering her on. There are no respectful chants, like people who want Olga to breastfeed them. Everyone showed admiration for the red-haired woman.

“Hi, Elise. Before the match, I have a question for you. ” Olga displayed a smile in front of the female warrior. “What are you fighting for, girl?”

Elise was taken aback by that question and almost looked up. After discovering her little brother’s condition, there shouldn’t be any other reason to keep her fighting. Could it be because she was afraid of being sent to hell, as Raymund said? She doubted that. In the last few missions, she had never even thought about it.

“You don’t have to answer that.” Olga widened her smile. “Whatever it is, I wish you all the best for your future.”

The female warrior felt strange hearing the word future. After all, she practically died and had no more dreams.

“So, ladies. I expect a fair fight…” Igor Kozlov acts as the referee. He explained the rules of the match and separated the two women away. As he raised his hand, the audience gasped in unison..

“Fight!!!”

The crowd’s cheers exploded as Elise charged forward at high speed.

Charging thrust.

Olga was able to dodge the tip of her opponent’s sword. She was about to hit Elise’s waist with her fingers, but she took a few steps back instead.

A bit of glowing red smoke came out of Olga’s body, and Elise’s sword absorbed that.

“I’m sorry, Olga,” Elise spoke with trembling lips, using her fighting stance. “I don’t want to use this skill, but…. I feel like I have to win.”

Olga didn’t reply and just took a fighting stance too.

Elise could feel her heart rate suddenly increase. She didn’t think that the discomfort she felt would instantly become so great like this, very different from when she performed the skill for the first time. She only felt a little uncomfortable at that time, but that feeling continued to grow as the match progressed.

This time Olga took the initiative to attack first. She runs, jumps, and performs spinning kicks.

Elise blocked the attack easily, and her sword sucked another glowing red smoke from the waffle seller’s body.

Olga backed away a second time. Elise guessed that her opponent just wanted to test what was going on. The red-haired woman’s attacks weren’t that powerful and relatively slower than usual.

Instead of using her fighting stance, Olga pointed at her opponent instead. “Aah, I remember that weapon similar to the one you have now, Elise.”

Due to the loud crowd, Elise couldn’t hear her opponent’s words. The female warrior only caught the words ‘remember’ and ‘similar.’ She had to listen to Raymund’s explanation.

“Hopefully, what I feared didn’t happen,” Raymund muttered. “Your opponent must use ranged attacks against you…. Oh, shit!”

Olga spread her legs, clenched her right hand, and pulled it back.

“Attack her, Elise! Now!!!”

Too late, Olga had already made a punching gesture, launching a ball of white light from her fist.

Elise instinctively used her sword to block whatever it was. However, the ball of light exploded, sending the female warrior into the air and landing hard on the ground.

The cheers from the audience made Elise feel the vibrations on the stadium ground.

“What the fuck!?” Raymund shouted in frustration. “So, now all melee fighters can use magic like Renee!? It’s not… Huh, what did you say, Anja? That’s not magic? Is that some kind of pure energy harvested from the human body? How is that different from magic!?”

The god of hope snorted and held back his rant to keep Elise from panicking even more.

“I’m fine, sir.” Elise, already standing and raising her sword, answered.

“Ah, that attack isn’t that fast… I’m not talking about that ball of light, but its activation.” Raymund spoke as quickly as he could while hiding his frustration. “I can see she activates it, and I’m sure you can too. Your job now is to keep trying to get close to her. You have to steal as much blood as possible. After a while, let’s hope she will get tired, so you can use that opportunity to beat her.”

Just as Raymund finished speaking, Olga had already sent another ball of light to Elise. The female warrior could roll away, causing the ball of light to explode behind her.

Elise wasted no time and ran towards the seller.

“Just like you, I don’t want to use this ability either, but I have to.” Olga shot the ball of light a third time. “I also want to win this shit.”

This time Elise was too late to dodge. The ball of light hit her shoulder, sending her flying again.

“The attack activation speed has increased, sir.” There’s no time to whine in pain. Elise hurriedly got up from the ground, finding that Olga was getting ready again. The seller’s fist was already smoking. “I must….”

Elise dodged the fourth ball.

“So, the more light balls she shoots, the faster she can activate them?” Raymund sighed. His Servant was in a very unfavorable situation. “I’m so sorry, Elise. You have no other choice but to continue forward while dodging those balls of light.”

Elise didn’t argue and ran to her opponent again, jumping to dodge the fifth ball of light. Unfortunately, after that, she wasn’t too lucky. The explosion from the sixth ball grazed her left leg, although it wasn’t that bad.

“There’s no point in you continuing on!” Olga bluffed. “Soon, you will be crushed by my attacks.”

Ignoring her opponent’s words, Elise continued forward.
