Chapter 178: The Boxing Match and a Nullified Poison

The sounds of clashing metal are echoing repeatedly across the stage. Hit, defend, hit, defend, hit, defend, hit.

It looks just like there is a rule to alternatively hit each other. Their speed was gradually becoming increasing, and before long, it became a barrage in return for another barrage.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa~!!

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa~!!

A grand sound of clashing metal was made as both of their fists slammed against each other when they have unleashed a right straight with all their might towards each other.

Both of them stood still like that for an instant, mutually grinning and laughing at each other. Like I said, stop riding on that flow.

Suddenly, both of them simultaneously jumped back, rushed in again, and unleashed upper kicks at each other. The metallic clank of their leg protectors Greaves roared, and then again the sound of gauntlets rally echoed again.

Yaaaaaa~!!

Along with her shrieking yell, Elise made a rotating kick which Sonia-san tried defending against, but she couldnt kill its momentum and was made to retreat a few steps. Then Elsie took a step forward to do a finishing blow, but Sonia-san quickly rotated her body and attacked with her heavy tail as a whip.

Without being able to avoid the blow of the thick tail that hit her from the side, Elsie reversely ended up retreating backward as she absorbed the heavy impact.

Seeing that, Sonia-san chased after her and tried to land a dropkick, but Elsie defended by crossing both of her arms. Sonia-san then immediately kicked her arms, rotated once, and took a distance from Elsie.

Switching between offensive and defensive, the white heated battle continued, the venue was also heating up.

Moroha-chan, How do you see this match will end ~noyo?

Who knows. If it was a sword match, I might be able to say something, but when it comes to [Fists], I am not sure ~ne. Well, I feel that in terms of speed Elsie is superior, and Sonia-san has the advantage in terms of power, but it is not the gap between them is that big. However, Sonia also has a hidden card to play ~nee

That [Hakkei], you mean? It seems that a single moment is necessary for her to use it, so Elsie has to make sure not to give her any gap.

At the same time, Elsie cannot even use her [Boost]. Just like Yae, Elsie also watched martial arts videos on my smartphone, and so she incorporated various techniques from them but thats not all.

Is it because their stamina got exhausted on the stage? The movement of the two was getting a bit dull. Even so, they continued to exchange fist attacks without stopping their hands.

Elsies sweep was approaching Sonia-san, and though she looked like she was about to fall backward, she somehow defended with her big tail and managed to regain her balance. That tail is amazing. Does it keep her balance like she is a dinosaur?

Sonia-san then attacks Elsie with that tail. Without avoiding that swing, Elsie resolved herself to receive damage and firmly stopped the blow. She then grasped it by both hands without letting it go and threw Sonia-san with all of her might over her shoulder.

(TLC: Seoinage A judo over shoulder throw)

daaaaaaaa~!!

Guuuuu!!

Towards Sonia-san who was thrown into the stage, Elsie swings her fist down to give the final blow. However, Sonia-san avoided it by rolling sideways, began to stand up with a hop, and extended her palm from a half-rising posture. This is bad!

Haaa!!

A loud thud reverberated and Elsie was blown off. Rolling all over through the stage, she managed to somehow stop before falling outside the bounds.

Dangerous! A little more and it would have become the same as with Rue.

As expected, that is nasty. It is definitely an invisible range attack. Though she might not received the attack, I think she got quite the damage from being blown off like that.

In fact, Elsie is down on her knees and seems to be in a considerable pain. Not missing this chance, Sonia-san begins her attack. Having stood up, Elsie intercepted her, but is the previous attack still showing its results? She is being on the defensive. With with stage boundary being behind her, she will fall from it if it goes like this.

Haaaaaaaaaaaa~!!

Sonia-san launches her right fist, and Elsie catches it firmly with her left hand. Disregarding her right hand, Sonia-san then unleashes her left hand, but it is grabbed by Elsies right hand too. Then how about a kick, Sonia-san tries to raise her leg and in that moment Elsie starts throwing her towards the back.

All the while putting her leg on Sonia-sans abdomen, Elsie throws her with her full strength.

It looks quite irregular, but is that an overhead throw?

Though Elsies neck was out of the stage boundary since earlier, she was safe yet as the rules didnt state that you would lose unless you fall down from the stage.

Sh!

With how things are going, she is going to be thrown out of the boundary. Sonia-san spins her body in the air, breaks free from Elsies grip while greatly swinging her tail, and leans her center of gravity towards the stage.

Sonia-san barely managed to land at the end of the stage, but Elsie went around and cut in front of her before she noticed anything.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

With a yell, Elsie unleashes her right straight. Whether it be by reflex, Sonia-san defended against it with her gauntlet. I guess it was probably difficult for her to avoid it while in that posture.

As a result, Sonia-was was thrown out into the air and then landed on the ground. Thus deciding the match.

The winner, Elsie Shiluesuka!

The referees voice echoes loudly, and the venue gets noisy all at once. Cheers and thunderous applause are being sent to the two.

She won! Elsie has won ~ja!

Suu voice raised in high spirit. Though honestly speaking, it feels like a draw because of all the injuries. Neither managed to K.O. the other. Well, even if they were in a real fight and were not being tied by the rules, I believe Elsie would have won.

Elsie shakes hands with Sonia-san who has come back to the stage and we applaud as well.

It is now one defeat and one win. We will advance to the finals if the two among Yae, Hilda and Pam will win.

I thought the reason we might lose would be due to Pam, but that was nothing more than a misplaced fear. She participated in the third match and managed to finish it in a mere three minutes. With earth-shattering vigor and power, she displayed a hurricane of surging attacks, her opponent was knocked outside the boundaries.

Yae came out in the next match and easily achieved victory once again. The Rauri tribe who got three victories promptly overtook the Lulush tribe and advanced forward to the finals.

Have we managed it somehow?

If I were to say something about this match, I feel relief down in my chest since the Lulush tribe was more formidable as an enemy than the remaining two tribes against which we may appear in the finals.

I express my appreciation to everyone who came out from the Deity Tree area and casted a recovery magic and [Refresh] on them just to be on the safe side. I especially paid attention to Elsie and Rue.

Later, I casted [Slip] on Rengetsu-san, about whom I didnt forget, thus causing him to magnificently fall down. While he was talking with others from the Lulush tribe Rengetsu-san magnificently fell and banged with the back of his head on the ground. He stood up without understanding what had happened and confirmed the soles of his feet. There was no damage to him because he was standing on the bare soil.

What do you think you are doing?

But you know~ Seeing how he hit Rue, I kinda got angry

I was pretty beaten too though

With you guys I couldnt get angry. You looked like you were in some youth drama

Elsie sulks while puffing her cheeks. Well, one will usually draw back when two young girls laugh while exchanging blows. I guess that should her opponent be a man, I would undoubtedly make him full of holes.

In any case, one more win and we are done. Do your best. Take this as well

I hand small vials that have pills that look like lemon soda to the girls. It is an antidote which Flora made before. Even if poison enters the body, it will immediately be purified with this.

About the scattered poison on the stage, be sure to wear masks before your turns come up and then hold
