We found ourselves in the infirmary. Rubén had been massacred. By the bear's numerous blows. We were genuinely scared. But the King of Shadows abruptly stopped it. What happened next was art. The roulette spun and spun. The King of Shadows presented our next battle with grandeur. It felt strange to us. We took Rubén to the infirmary. We told him we wanted to take our friend first before the next fight. He accepted in a friendly manner. It wasn't long until the next fight began.
King of Shadows: The next combatant. Will it be? Number 38. Competitors, please to the Battle Arena.
Carlos descended. And we saw it. What happened next was strange, the lights went out. And what happened was wonderful, a long-haired woman. With. Big. But big sawed-off shotguns. Came down.
Everyone's Mind: This doesn't seem like chance. It seems like she's manipulating. The outcome of the roulette to make us face our weaknesses. Carlos's weakness at the moment? It's close combat. Not really. Rather, short-range projectiles, explosives, destructors.
Carlos: Let it be a good battle.
King of Shadows: Let the battle begin.
Carlos's View
Without further ado. The woman leaped. Propelling herself with her shotguns firing towards the wall. The momentum she took was too, but too fast to dodge. I only felt a buttstroke on my face. I conjured. A sword. And with it, I used it as leverage to stay standing. With this, I deformed the sword to be able to. Hit her. She surprisingly and seemingly with. Superhuman reflexes. Stopped the blow. With the barrel of her shotgun. Without further ado, she shot at the blade, I only saw how pieces. Embedded in my face. That hurt like hell. Since I had multiple steel splinters. I just thanked. Because none could hurt or enter, luckily in my eyes. So I stood firm. And with this? I managed. to generate a spear. With the spear I generated. I managed to strike her in the face. She fell to the ground. But she recovered with a maneuver. It seems that I made her angry, her face. She has a furrowed brow. And those eyes? Cold as ice. That seemed like a killer look. The fastest thing I felt was fear.
Now she pulled out a big machine gun. That took me by surprise. That chick has a lot of weapons. But I don't know where she gets it, I conjured a shield, the bullets hit. The shield and it seemed like it would break. I generated thick shields, one after another, until she ran out of bullets and there she is. I could see her. She had more than 2 arms, she had 2 more arms on her back. And her weapons are inside her body. I don't know how that's possible. But it is. (Sigh) This is bad. Since I get tired. When generating a weapon, she doesn't know it. This seems like it will have to be a very quick but intense fight. I raised my arms. And I touched them. I made a hand pose. And I Recited.
Carlos: Creator's Extension. Divine armory.
Space was created, everything around me was my armory, she seemed confused. But that didn't stop her from her shots, one after another, the living weapons in my space began to defend me from her. I only saw how some fell or were broken. But with this, do you think it gives me a chance? I jumped. And ran towards the heavy weapons. Oh, there I saw them. They were. Fragmentation grenades. I modified my domain so that anything I hit anything. It was her. I threw as many grenades as I could. I only saw how she exploded them halfway. It seemed that having 50-caliber magnum I don't know, I'm still not so familiar with firearms. I only saw how the explosion of that explosion, the living weapons were injured, so I let them open suddenly. I could and scream.
Carlos: Divine Wall.
When reciting the divine wall. Multiple weapons began to generate from light spaces, melee weapons came out. If I wanted to win this contest, I had to do something she didn't. Close combat, go back to my origins. How my friends and I have survived all this time. I took. my spear. And a thick shield that was so large that it covered my entire body. The shield was so heavy and so thick that it seemed like it was made of volcanic rock. I launched myself from the ceiling where I was and I only saw how she in a desperate attempt. Shot after shot, the shield fragmented. So much that it almost broke. I let it go and with my spear I let go of the final blow.
Carlos: God's Edge.
Cut. And then? I pierced her arm. With this she gave me a chance. I generated a dagger and took it with my arm, which had the shield. Now I tried to stab her face. End this fight? As fast as I could. But fate had Another intention? Without realizing it before millimeters before being able. Stab her face. I saw them there. A mini arm. It looked like a baby's, it came out of her eyes. And they had a little weapon. Such a small caliber? That shot. The shot deflected my dagger. And then he gave it to me. (Groan of pain) He hit me in the shoulder, that hurt, but it's not a normal weapon, it's noticeable from a distance, since she had a damn magic bullet or was it cursed? I don't know, I can't think now. My blood, my bleeding, began to open up more. That's wrong, I'm bleeding rapidly and she only has that little wound on her arm. Ah A. AA. It hurt like hell, I feel like my muscles and nerves are torn inside, it seems like a weapon. Only those bullets. They're unique. The mental note is to ask her how to make them later, now I must concentrate on the battle. What I have to do is something unique and I have it. Quickly the living weapons. Reactivated and tried to keep her away. I only see how her arms, come out of her whole body. It looked like an amalgam. An. I don't know. But does this guy look scary? Of monsters. Who without YOU now was, run for your life. I got up with difficulty since my arm was injured. But luckily, my legs are working. I ran as fast as I could to my safe space. Investigating my domain I realized that there is a safe area that only I can enter. Or well, I suspect. Since no one else had the chance, I need to heal myself or at least get rid of the damn bullet that's hurting me inside and then go back to battle. I only see how she follows me with the arms on her back. And now, lower back, they are clinging to the wall. And they're. Like cockroaches, this was a terrifying chase, I won't deny it. But if I wanted to win, I needed time to recover and to think of a counterattack. I felt. I saw relief in my eyes, there it was. Boom.
Boom, boom, boom, boom. I see how they try to destroy my path, hindering the great feats of arms, they fall in front of me, trying to dodge them cleverly. Some I couldn't avoid and they fell on me. Who would say that my own space? Would be my end, it's somewhat ironic. When she approached slowly. She dragged a heavy shotgun. Anti-armor from what I see military, I don't know. Do humans influence these kinds of monsters? Damn. My end. When she without saying a single word to me. Not even to look me in the eyes. Well, she didn't have eyes. She pointed at me. And with a growl. She disappeared. The king of shadows had saved his servant. And with that the battle ended. Maybe I didn't come out as wounded as Rubén. But. I realized many mistakes I made. Although I recovered in many aspects and had opportunities to win. This girl had the chance to kill me at any moment without me realizing it.
At least I realized that my space is not perfect. And it can be improved. So with this I end my fight. I see my friends as they don't look worried about me. So they approach me, they tell me.
Darío: Man, you almost made it. Well done, you can tell you did your best.
Duncan: At least you didn't fare as bad as Rubén. That's also an achievement. Feel good about yourself.
Emmanuel: Can we improve your space? We need to address some details.
Ángel: I see you decided to use the upgrades we made to your spear, the masters teach very well, you know?
Carlos: Thank you, guys. For encouraging me, even though I lost, it was clear that I had the opportunity. To win.
They all looked at me with a smile of camaraderie, they noticed my inconsistency in combat, but they also noticed my quick thinking, my new gadgets that gave me new tricks. I achieved something that maybe at another time I couldn't. So I felt good about myself. I got a good. And new goal. Before the final battle. Against Lucifer.
"Hey, folks, sorry for taking so long, I have good news since I was able to pass my subjects, I just have my workshops left. The bad thing is that I got sick and with that I couldn't write, as I'm still sick, I'll write short chapters of the fights and with that, during the Easter holidays, you'll have a daily chapter.
With love, Rixsune."
