"Ladies and gentlen, Jule has drawn his weapons, and it appears that the weather is responding to his sickles. Dark clouds have covered the sky, and lightning can be seen flashing between them," the comntator announced.
"Oh, Mother Nature, I invoke your na by my will... please bless with your powers," Jeffery began to chant as a green aura enveloped his body, and a wooden bow materialized in his hands.
"Oh my god, is that possible? Mr. Jeffery has summoned his majestic bow, 'Renain.' It is said that the Lawson family reserves this legendary bow for use only in the most dire situations in the family, this bow is made out of the tree of life's wood. This bow was also one of the weapons that was used to kill the Counsellor in the demon battle 150 years ago. It seems like Jeffery can't afford to lose this match at any cost," the comntator announced.
"Did you instruct him to do that, Son?" Ion asked Xander with a smile on his face.
"Yes, Father, isn't that a great idea? I know you are proud of , right ?" Xander asked with a smile as he noticed that his father was very happy.
"We'll discuss it later. Let's focus on the match for now or I will end you before it ends." Ion said with a smile as he went back to his serious face in just one second.
'What? Did I do sothing wrong again? Eh, I will get a beating anyways, let's just focus on the match for now.' Xander wondered, but he decided to leave it for now and concentrate on the match.
Anon gripped his sickles and fixed a sharp gaze on Jeffery, observing his body's movents and trying to predict the trajectory of his arrows.
"Here you go... bastard." Jeffery shouted as he pulled the bowstring back, and a platinum arrow appeared on it.
He promptly released it towards Anon...
Zzzzzuuup
The arrow left the bow with trendous force, tearing through the air as it aid for Anon's heart.
Anon swiftly sidestepped, easily evading the arrow. Upon turning around to look back at Jeffery, he noticed that ten more arrows were heading towards him at twice the speed.
'Ah...fuck, he took my focus off of him with the first attack and used it to imply another attack.'
Anon promptly activated his skill to increase his speed inside the domain, allowing him to react swiftly and dodge all the arrows with ease as they slowed down significantly.
'How can he move so fast?' Jeffery pondered as he pulled the string back once again and summoned twenty arrows this ti.
Anon rely smiled, realizing Jeffery's strategy.
'This technique is called 'Overpowering Start.' When fighting inside the arena, you have to play with your opponent's mind to increase your chances of winning. That's what he's trying to do with . He's using his best attacks at the start to overwhelm . He wants to either use all my defensive spells now or believe that these are just his starter spells and he's much stronger. But you're using them on the wrong guy, kid. Let show you how this trick works,' Anon thought with a smile directed at Jeffery.
Sweat started to bead on Jeffery's forehead as he continued to shoot arrows at Anon.
'What the heck is wrong with him? The more I shoot at him, the wider his smile gets. I tried to overpower him at the start, but it didn't work. Now my attack power is dwindling. I have to stop using multiple arrows at once and save so mana for defensive spells, or I won't survive his attacks,' Jeffery thought as he gradually ceased his attacks.
"What's the matter? Aren't you going to use more powerful spells?" Anon asked, still smiling.
"I want to give you an equal chance to fight... What's the benefit of a one-sided annihilation?" Jeffery replied.
"Well, I guess it's my turn. Let the music play." As Anon uttered these words, a large bolt of lightning appeared in the sky, and he promptly threw his sickle towards Jeffery.
The sickle moved at an incredible speed, but Jeffery easily dodged it.
"Heh...? Was that your attack? Even a child could dodge that," Jeffery mocked, smiling at Anon.
"Jeffery, behind you!" Xander shouted.
Startled, Jeffery turned around and saw that the sickle was returning towards him, this ti three tis faster.
"Damn it!" Jeffery tried to dodge the attack, but it left a cut on his right cheek and returned to Anon's hand.
"Fuu~" Xander sighed as he settled back into his seat.
"You... bastard. How dare you interrupt soone in a deathmatch, especially in my presence?" Ion said with a very angry expression.
"F-F-Father... let tell you sothing, let tell you—"
Bonk Bonk Bonk
Before Xander could say anything else, Ion struck him on the head three tis with his cane.
"Ouch..." Xander winced as he touched his head gingerly.
"Speak again, and I will thrash you right there in the arena," Ion warned, his gaze fierce.
"Y-Yes, Sir," Xander replied, chastened.
"Looks like you're even lower than the kids, huh?" Anon taunted Jeffery, wearing a sinister smile.
"You piece of trash..." Jeffery muttered as he activated another spell and aid his bow at Anon.
[Your opponent has used, ]
This ti, as Jeffery pulled the bowstring back, no arrow materialized. He left the string loose.
Booom
A deafening noise echoed from his bow, but nothing happened.
'That's a bit too much noise for a skill called 'Silent Arrow,'' Anon thought, still smiling.
Suddenly, Anon sensed a powerful disturbance in Death's Domain.
He felt sothing piercing through his body. It was sharp, and although it had no effect on his skin, it tore through his internal organs and nearly stopped his heart. However, before further damage could occur, the troll locket kicked in, healing him instantly.
Cough
Anon coughed, spitting out a small amount of blood as he continued to smile at Jeffery with a psychopathic grin.
Suddenly, a spine-chilling chill ran down Jeffery's spine.
