Chapter 16 - First Duel

Alex arrived at the Dark Street where the beggars from before looked at her with fear. They knew that this female tigress had challenged the boss to a duel, as well as her feat of clearing out nearly all of the high-ranked assassination quests.

Alex entered into the Dark Street, and went towards the square where a medium sized arena was set up. A man in a trenchcoat was standing on the far side of the arena. It was the boss. A scantily clad woman stood where the judge's podium was. Her aura showed how powerful she was. "I will be the judge for today's match. The rules are as follows: 1. No outside interference 2. No killing 3. Anything else goes. Any questions?" The woman asked.

Both sides shook their heads. "You know, there's a reason why I've been the boss for so long. It's because I'm rather powerful." The boss answered his own question.

He threw off his trenchcoat, and revealed a mighty set of armour with which he wielded a heavy greatsword. "I have never lost a battle of strength, so be prepared, for I will crush you."

Alex simply responded with a nod before pulling out her daggers.

"Now BEGIN!"

Alex dashed forwards, and a sonic boom followed, [Momentum Charge]. The boss was noticeably shocked, but he raised his greatsword, and swung at her. A duck, and then a swirl of her daggers.

Blood burst out from the boss's side, and he groaned. Alex's daggers had cut through the shiny armour as if it were butter. A greatsword came crashing down on top of her, and she quickly distanced herself from the boss before slashing her daggers together in a cross.

[Soul Slash]

The boss slashed his greatsword forwards smashing into the soul blade before sliding backwards.

The two began to tango. Despite Alex's surprising speed, the boss had much experience fighting with fast enemies, and quickly adapted, and their weapons collided over, and over, but even the strongest of men could make mistakes, and the boss's health was swiftly being chipped away. The crowd watching was in shock. None of them expected that their long lasting boss would be put into such a precarious situation.

The boss was angered by this undeniable fact. Their weapons clashed once more. "I'll admit, I'm impressed. You can actually push me into such a dire situation, but it ends here!"

[Raging Berserker]

A red glow surrounded the man as he roared in anger. His greatsword came down upon Alex much faster than before, and she was sent flying despite blocking it. A large dust cloud appeared, and when it finally cleared they saw a dishevelled Alex. She looked angry. It was time to go all out.

[Godspeed] [Cloudsteps] [Soulful Sorrow] [Soul Freeze] [Soulless Bounding] [Momentum Charge]

A rainbow halo surrounded Alex's body as all of her attributes increased tremendously. A powerful pressure surrounded her, and the audience felt scared of it. The judge narrowed her eyes as she looked at Alex.

Alex charged at the man whose soul was frozen, and right before she rammed into him.

[Soul Slash]

A powerful wave burst forward, and a massive dust cloud appeared.

When it finally disappeared, all that was left was a crater, and a terribly mangled body.

"I hereby announce the winner to be.."
