CronoOver 21 Chapter 21

-Supporting himself on Kanashimi, Rin left the ring, and was now in the waiting room of the colosseum, together with Rex, Bear, Red Cat and Torch.

-Instead of helping him or asking him how he was doing, instead, all of them were watching the monitor in the room.

-The big television on the wall had live footage from the ring, which meant that the people who waited coud watch how the current two fighters fought, giving some of them the information and advantage they would need.

-It was a smart idea to watch and study the person who you might be fighting in the next round, and so Rin did the same, he sat down, lied Kanashimi next to him and carefully observed the fight between Archer and White Knife, that was about to start.

-Archer, B rank

-White Knife, B rank

-Archer is a first-time fighter in the Colosseum, and was here for some special reasons. He wants to Meet with the Mafia and to do so, he needs to win in this tournament.

-While on the other hand, White knife, for her age was here for the third time, both of the times she fought she had the bad luck of going against the Colosseum kings, and lost.

-She was dressed quite poorly, an oversized t-shirt and short pants that were tight on her already skinny body. Long Brown hair and beautiful brown eyes, if she was a normal child she would be nothing but cuteness in carnet.

-And now for different reasons the two face each other in order to fulfill those reasons.

"Gladiators fight!"

"Before we begin, I will offer you the chance to surrender!"

I really don't want to hurt a little girl.

-Archer didn't want to fight her, even before the tournament started he was discussed by the fact that a child of nine years of age is fighting in this kind of a place.

"Surrender? you wish!"

-White knife, on the other hand, didn't want to hear any of that. She was set on winning, like everyone else.

-In a blink of an eye, she pulled out from behind her, eight knives, four between each finger on the hand.

-Her knives were unusual, they were completely white, emitting some sort of white smoke.

-With the knives in hand, she started running towards Archer, knowing that long-range is an archer's advantage she wanted to avoid it as much as possible.

I need to come close to him, right now he has the advantage.

-Archer saw that and didn't plan on letting her do that. He pulled one arrow from his arrow holder and put it on his bow.

He's making a move!

-While running, White knife started throwing her knifes one after another, each one in a different direction, but all aimed towards Archer.

"I hoped it wouldn't have to come to this."

Becouse I really don't want to hurt a little girl.

-Archer aimed his bow and the arrow on it towards one of the knives headed his way, released it and in less than a second, he pulled another arrow and fired that one as well. He did that another six times, countering every knife she threw!.

-The knives burst, creating a white mist sort of gas in the air, where the arrows. .h.i.t them. From the mist created White knife came out running and appeared in front of Archer.

-He was surprised, not expecting the knives to create the mist. He let his guard down to much and allowed his enemy to get in close corners with him.

"Not good!"

She got way to close, I need to make some distance.

-White knife pulled another knife out from behind her, but this time this one was longer. When coming close to Archer she swung it, aiming to take his head, but Archer's fiscal movement and agility were too great for her to hit him, so he managed to avoid it with ease.

"d.a.m.n you!"

-He jumped backward and managed to once again create distance between them, but White knife didn't want that to happen, she started running straight at him.

-Archer had a hunch she would do that, so he pulled out a few of his arrows and placed them on his bow.

"Bow art's: Arrow net!"

-He fired five simultaneous arrows, and white light appeared between them, slicing everything that comes in between them.

-White knife, afraid of getting hit, she steps back, making the distance between the two of them even bigger.

He's quick, so I just need to be quicker.

-She stood up straight and took a deep breath. Concentrating on Archer, White Knife leaned back little bit and put her hands behind her back.

What is she planing?

Should I make a move...

-And then, as if she disappeared from the field, Archer couldn't locate her anymore, and his previous attack missed its target.

"What, where is she!"

-He turned all around himself, trying to find her but he counts, it was as if she disappeared.

"Badum!"

-A heart bet appeared behind him, and It was White Knives. she was holding a knife and was aiming for Archer's head.

d.a.m.n it!

-At the last minute, he jumped backward and avoided a critical hit, but none the less he still got scratched on the side of his face.

That's Grigora!

To think a child would learn a master level technique.

-Right after Archer avoider her attack she went for another one, she threw her knives, that were in between her fingers at Archer and starts moving.

But it seems she still hasn't mastered it, Even so I can not take her likely any more.

White Knife, I will give you my best as respect, from one martial artist to another!

"Bow arts: ten grant arrows!"

-Archer pulled out ten arrows and placed them all on his bow, he took a deep breath and fired them at the same time.

-If a normal person were to do it the arrows would certainly just hit each other or just fall to the ground, but archer was a "perfectionist" bowmen and archer, so the arrows with blinding speed went flying thro the ait and destroyed the knives aimed at him.

Again?, I just need more knives then!

She stopped her running and made a right turn, now running in surcles around Archer, White Knife started throwing more and more knives, like a barrage of knives, they just kept coming and coming.

-It easy to say that Archer destroyed every last one of them with the speed and precision of his arrows, but the more she kept throwing the more arrows archer kept losing.

I'm almost out! would be good if I didn't need to reveal my trump card so early, but if it comes down to it...

-And that it did, and before he knew it he was without any arrows, and not noticing it until this point, the entire ring was filled with mist.

-White mist covered the entire ring and White knife was nowhere to be seen.

d.a.m.n it, she got me!

From all the explosions created by our attacks, I didn't notice that the field had become like this.

-Yes, the reason for this is White knifes Ability, called "Mist manipulator".

It allows her to create and materialize mist, she can also realise the materialized mist to create this kind of trap.

Where is she?

-Archer kept looking around him to try and pinpoint her location, but the knife attacks stopped and now, that was harder to do.

-The ring was quiet, no sound of anyone moving, or walking not even a mosquito coud be heard.

-That silence didn't last long, before he knew it White knife had already been behind him, whit a short sword in hand and killing intent gushing out of her, she struck fast.

She used Grigora again!

-Even tho Archer couldn't see her coming he coud still fell her killing intent, so he did what he coud and strikes her sideways with his bow.

s.h.i.t, that was way to close, a second later and my head would have been off of my head.

-White Knife didn't take the attack so well, not on a physical basis but a mental one.

-She was angry at this point, all she did Archer countered or saw coming. By the looks of things, there was no way she coud defeat him, he was better in every aspect of the way, but now he was out of arrows meaning he's weakened.

!

-Noticing that fact, a ray of hope showed itself on her face, as her expression became brighter and brighter.

-She used her ability "Mist manipulation" and started creating as much mist as she could, and after a few seconds, the entire part of the colosseum that was clear was not filled wit her mist.

"What is she planning?" -Archer asked himself as he just stood there observing the situation.

One again, and this time I'll finish him!

-White knife used Grigora again and disappeared from Archer's point of view, she used "Mist manipulation" and made even more knifes, so much she coud barely hold all of them.

-Archer on the other hand had a different idea, he pulled his bow upwards and aimed it towards the sky, he then said few simple words and created a huge, magnificent arrow that coud only be described as beautiful.

"Bow arts: G.o.ddess Arrow!"

-Archers' ability "Mother arrow" allowed him to create arrows from nothing, no matter where, what size or shape.

-He fired the G.o.ddess Arrow up towards the sky, he realized the arrow created a gesture of wind around Archer, clearing out the mist and reveling White knife.

"No!" -She yelled in anger, with a worried and stressed out look on her face, she created another pair of short swords and started running towards Archer.

I need to finish this now, reviling even more of my abilities would be stupid.

"You have been a splendid opponent White Knife, but I have to end this!"

-Archer pulled down his bow and Aimed it towards White knife who approached him, he then pulled its string and used his ability "Mother arrow" once more.

"Bow arts: Wall Binding Arrow!"

-He let go of the string and four normal-sized arrows emitting blue light made their way towards White Knife.

-The Air pressure created from realising his Wall Binding Arrows slowed down White knife. trying to change directions to avoid his attack she found out it had already reached her.

-The four arrows in front of her pierced both of her arms and legs, throwing, and as the name suggests binding her to the arena wall behind her.

"Aaaaaaaaa, It heart!, It hearts!"

"You're unable to move anymore, You lost White knife!"

-Desperately struggling to get down from the wall and get off the arrows from her limbs, but the pain was too strong, it left her crying as she helplessly just hanged there.

-Suddenly the pain from the arrows was overshadowed by the sound of a whip and a man yealing. In her head, those sounds created more pain than Archer's arrows ever could.

"No, not yet I can still fight, I'll kill you, I can still fight, I didn't lose yet!"

-Her desperate attempt at breaking lose of the arrows binding her was depressing, the entire arena was set a silence as she said those words angrily, with tears running down her eyes.

"This is to much." -Said Archer as he pulls his bow that held the last arrow meant for White knife.

"Put me down, I can still fight, Put me down now!"

-The blood that flowed out from the places where the arrows. .h.i.t tainted the wall as well as the ground red, and every second more and more blood was put on the last pile.

"Bow arts: String Arrow!" -Whit this Arrow Archer released, thin as a piece of string, and fast as lightning, It hit White knife right in the forehead, putting her anger attack to a stop.

That should do it, once you wake up I hope you find a lesson in our battle.

-That seemed as an attack meant to kill her, but in reality, it only knocked her out. Archer shot a nerve in her brain which caused her to lose consciousness.

-This kind of deed coud only be done by someone very skilled and precise as a marksman.

"Is, Is that It?, Wow, and with a splendid show of power and use of his ability, Archer wins the second round and advances!"

-The audience reacted in a splendid show of wow-ing, and addressing Archer as Ponytail while complimenting him.

-And in the waiting room of the Colosseum, the gladiators that watched this fight were amazed, the reason being just how little effort Archer actually put in frighting her.

"Are you scared, I don't doubt you he is a powerful opponent." -Rex said to Rin, who was sitting right beside him, calmly observing the fight as Archer would be his next opponent.

"Scared?, who wouldn't be if they were in my shoes. "

"...To be honest I fill more pitty towards that little girl then you right now."

"How so?, even if she lost she is certainly powerful."

"There is this rumor I've heard, do you know off "Breeds"?"

"Breeds?"

"Well It would be better if you didn't, but at this point, you're going to find out sooner rather then later."

-Rin listened calmly and collectedly to what Rex was about to say, and it wasn't pleasant.

"Breeds are a name for special children who were born in this Inst.i.tut that impregnates women and right after their birth sells them off as slaves, Being it to some rich guy or a hobo, as long as they can pay!"

-Hearing thise words Rin's whole body started shaking, and the breakfast he had eaten earlier had come back out, as he puked all over the flour.

"From what I heard White knife is a slave of a master a.s.sasin who likes using violence if his "pets" don't behave and losing the last three matches in a row, I asume it wont make him happy."

"That's sick, on so meny levels."

"...That's the world we live in."

-And so Archer left the ring followed by two people who carried White knifes body and put it in the infirmary.

"Well, I should head out."

"I wish you luck!"

"Luck?, I gave up on that a long while ago."

"And now my dear audiance the third match is about to start, give it up for Rex and Torch!" -Dwarfy announced loudly as the two fighters entered the ring and stared down each other.
