BXBX NOVEL Chapter 134 Sword Queen
Between the cheers of the crowd, two participants were looking at each other and standing in their own fighting stances.
Nina was standing in her standard stance with her body bent a little and her left hand resting on the handle of her sword. This stance was generally used for quickdraws.
Her sword was a little drawn out, and a small part of the hilt could be seen inside it shining in a blood red glow.
Her sharp eyes were analyzing her opponent, who was standing in a stance very different from hers.
His left hand was in front of his chest in a praying position, while his right hand was in the back, holding the staff. His left leg was in front, while his right was a little behind.
When the mana presences of both fighters collided, a fast wind was born out of it. Because of it, the dresses of both participants were blowing, and Nina\'s two plaits were also dancing in the wind.
At first, they circled a little, trying to analyze each other, before Nina decided to attack.
She approached him and attacked him with a \'Quick Draw\' attack. The monk swung his staff and blocked the attack. A cling sound could be heard, after which they exchanged several moves.
They both were being careful, and Nina tried her best to fight in close range where the opponent was not able to take advantage of the reach of his staff. Sparks could be seen when their weapons collided with each other. The audience was in awe when they watched it.
Each move and attack of both of them was accurate and calculated; whenever they saw an opening, they tried to use it to their advantage. In the intense battle, the monk suddenly used his attack skill, \'Staff of Mountain.
He brought his staff over his head, and his staff started shining in a brown glow.
He hit his staff toward Nina to eliminate her, Nina was caught off-guard but she remained calm, her battle instricts kicked in and she used \'Sword Dash\' and \'Quick Draw\' combo to attack the opponent, the monk was caught off guard and her attacks landed on him.
Everyone was speechless when they saw this reversal of Nina, but Nina didn\'t stop; once she got a cooldown reset, she used \'Sword Dash\' again and landed three more attacks, one of which landed on the monk\'s legs and the other two on his body.
Nina was disappointed because she didn\'t get the reset this time; she had to wait five seconds now to use \'Sword Dash\' again, and she attacked the monk again with another \'Quick Draw.\'
The monk, this time used a strange technique; his staff gracefully danced on his hands as he spun it as a fan in his hands and blocked Nina\'s attack.
This move was called \'Counter,\' and despite blocking Nina\'s attack, there was no joy in the monk\'s face; instead of joy, there was a bead of sweat on his forehead, which was because of a chill he was feeling on his body.
He looked up and saw a skull mark above his head; below it was written the number ten.
Nina didn\'t give the monk even a second to breathe; she used \'Gale steps\' again and attacked the monk.
This time the monk was already prepared; he blocked most of her attacks, but due to his injured leg, his movement was slow compared to before, which gave Nina multiple opportunities to injure him.
When the monk saw that he would not be able to defeat Nina if the battle continued like this, he used the \'heavenly chant\' skill, and a golden glow started appearing on his body, which healed all his wounds.
He jumped at Nina for the first time and started attacking her with \'Quick Staff\' skill attacks; after that, he used \'Staff on Mountain\' once again.
His staff shone in a golden glow, and some chants could be heard from the glow around him. Nina also decided to fight head-on; she used \'Triangle Slash\' and \'Sword Enchantment.
Sword Enchantment increased the damage of the next skill, while \'Triangle Slash\' was an attack-type sword technique.
Her sword shining in a red glow while the blade of it was shining in a silver glow, she performed the \'Triangle Slash\'. Her sword moved in the air in front of her to create a red triangle-type mana attack that was launched at her opponent.
The monk also opened his eyes covered in a golden glow as he launched the \'Staff of Mountain\' once again; his staff, glowing in a golden glow, hit the earth in front of him, and an earth-type attack was released at Nina.
Both attacks collided, a huge explosion took place, and the backlash of their attacks hit both participants.
Nina used \'Sword Barrier\' to defend herself while Monk used \'Counter,\' but the explosion was just too powerful, and part of Monk\'s attack bypassed Nina\'s attack and hit her barrier.
The barrier broke like glass before the impact threw Nina back. The same happened with the monk; the only difference was that Nina\'s attack was way more powerful. It bypassed the monks defense and hit him.
It was a triangular attack; three sword slashes landed on different parts of the monk\'s body; at last, he was thrown back by the impact. When the dust settled, an injured Nina could be seen approaching her opponent, who was covered in blood.
They fought again, and the monk was able to defend and counterattack, but even then, some attacks from Nina landed on him.
Her sharp eyes shined in a glint after her last attack landed; she looked at him and said, "Game Over" before using \'Sword Dash\' and \'Quick Draw\' to land the last two strikes on the monk.
A number twenty-one appeared below the skull above the monk\'s head; its eyes shone with a blood-red glint as the monk was suddenly unable to move for a while.
Nina smiled as she took out her sword that was glowing in a thick natural bloodlike glow and used \'Quick Draw\' back to back to land multiple attacks on the monk. At last, a blue barrier appeared around the monk\'s body, and he, too was eliminated.
The audience clapped and even cheered for Nina; some even gave her a standing ovation. When Nina shone due to the multiple lights focusing on her, she saw the whole audience reciting her name and cheering for her, and a smile appeared on her lips.
"What a battle! I have no words. All-STARS guild members are in a league of their own, but Nina has made her own identity today; people call her \'Nina the Swift Swordsman\' or the \'21-Cut Hunter\'. This is the birth of another new star from this batch," praised the commentator.
"She had created a history here; no girl has defeated five challengers at once," said Shreya before pausing for a while before continuing.
"I have never seen a \'Sword Dash\' as smooth as her. Even Rishab, who is very good at using this skill, is dull compared to her as he doesn\'t have any skills that could synergize well with it, while when I look at Nina, the word made for it comes to mind," said Shreya.
"As the Head Girl, I give her the title of \'Sword Queen\' to encourage other girls to perform extraordinarily like Nina," announced Shreya before standing and clapping. Everyone clapped for Nina, even Rishi stood up and clapped for her. Kajal also stood up as a sign of respect.
The whole crowd cheered and repeated \'Sword Queen\' again and again. Nina\'s eyes became moist when she saw that no words could express the joy she was feeling right now.
