《How I Slayed A Dragon》Chapter 14
Advertisement
(Aug 22 Continued)
Everyone's attention was on William, he had easily subdued everyone else in an instant and attracted all of the focus onto himself.
I didn't think he was the kind of guy to attract attention! I always thought he was just some quiet guy.
William once again pushed his glasses up his nose like an evil villain and waved his staff.
A cluster of hyper condensed ice formed in front of him, and created a massive ice spear that shot out like a blast.
The ice spear rushed out like a bullet train and it rammed into a couple other fighters, and knocked them off instantly.
What power...
William wasn't done yet, he grabbed his staff with both of his hands and suddenly a massive ice greatsword formed on his staff and he swung it horizontally sweeping many people off the edges of the platform.
William was a wizard yet he combined his ice magic to create an ice greatsword to fight melee as well! What creativity! It requires not only skill and power, but brains and creativity to become truly strong.
William continued to run around with his giant ice greatsword and swung it around, but eventually people stopped getting knocked off as the one's staying on were able to adapt to the situation and were strong enough to.
Most of the remaining fighters were B ranked, with around a dozen or so fighters.
William dispersed his ice greatsword and raised his staff again, but when he did 5 other people charged at William, however it seems they have a plan this time.
The person who was in the front of the attack was a tanker with a massive shield, there was two archers and a mage at the back and a spear user was behind the tanker.
The tanker was buffed by the mage with spells and the archers would focus on destroying any incoming ice attacks, while the spear user would be right behind the mage and would attack William.
William jumped back and tapped the ground with his staff and a massive wall of ice rose from the frozen ground, but the tanker took his massive shield and smashed it down.

However William had prepared a trap, William froze and destroyed the ground creating a hole in the platform behind the ice wall so when the tanker smashed down the ice wall, the tanker fell into the hole and off the platform.
As the tanker fell, the spear user knew it was now or never and the spear user leapt forward thrusting her spear forward.
But with all the time it took for the tanker and the spear user to get to the William, he had already finished his preparations.
William waved his hand and caused gushes of cold wind and controlled the movement of the cold air. The wind works by the air moving from high pressure to low pressure and it's like diffusion, but with cold and warm air.
William made streams of flowing air and caused the spear user to change directions using the icy wind and with a massive gush of air, knocked her off.
The air grew more and more, and got more and more unstable causing a mini tornado on the platform wiping EVERYONE except William, off of the platform.
William was the only one left standing on the broken platform.
.
It was decided that the spear user was the second one to proceed.
Although William was the only one left on the platform and everyone got knocked off, the judges had a short meeting and after a bit of analysis decided the spear user will move on as well.
I don't think that's fair but, I'm not the one who makes the rules so whatever.
My group is going up soon, I'm pretty nervous.
There's a couple other B ranks and there's that A ranked archer.
Well, good luck me and here I go!
.
When I stepped onto the platform, I felt my stomach churn a bit. Although I've been in a couple of real battles before, being in front of such a massive crowd still made me a bit nervous.
The cheers were wild and I felt my head go a little dizzy but I squeezed my fist and regained my vision.
I glared up at the sky and controlled my inner energy.
I breathed in and out a bit and then the battle commenced.

The A ranked archer seemed quite chill and wasn't making any movements, so I decided to not try to stand out and was only defending and avoiding attacks.
I would occasionally get attacked but I easily defended and threw the attacks off the platform, but my focus was always on the A ranked archer.
She was still just standing there, not moving. She would defend if someone attacked but she seemed to just be observing the fights.
After around 30 minutes of combat, she yawned and said out loud for everyone on the platform to hear:
"(Sigh) Boring, I thought that if I waited a bit someone interesting might pop up. Why are you guys all so weak?"
Though I wasn't going all out, that still made me a little peeved off.
This caused the crowd to go momentarily silent, and a lot of talking could be heard.
She took out her bow, a golden yellow like bow, and grabbed three arrows and place each arrow in between each cracks of her hands.
She stretched the three arrows back, and shot three arrows at once.
As the arrows shot out, I could see lightning sparks as the arrows zipped across the air and hit three different people.
When the arrows hit the fighters, the arrows exploded in thunder, electrocuting them until they dropped to the ground paralyzed.
When I glanced back at her, I had realized she already reloaded three more arrows in a split second and shot more arrows out like machine gun. her hands were moving so fast it was basically a yellow blur.
One of the thunder arrows was shot at me, I quickly focused and my mind sped up as time slowed, yet the arrow was still shooting at me at an extremely fast speed.
I was barely able to to tilt my body ever so slightly and the arrow grazed my arm, yet even so the electricity flowed into me from the arrow and caused my entire body to shake.
The pain was horrifying, it wasn't killing me but it was painful enough for me to cough to drop to the ground, normally when a person gets hit by this much thunder they simply drop unconscious but I resisted and stayed conscious and felt all the pain.
My arm that got grazed was entirely numb and my legs were shaking.
I controlled my energy flow, which was totally out of wack due to the electricity causing it to go out of control, and slowly gained my strength.
I looked to my right and saw only two other people still left conscious besides me and the A ranker.
They too were in bad condition.
The A ranked yawned again and raised her bow again.
I knew I had to act fast or I wouldn't last, I was already on the ground bent over so I was in the right position to run at her.
I focused all my energy into my legs and my leg muscles burgled and tensed up.
She must've noticed the energy gathering on my legs as she suddenly had a serious look on her face, I bent my knees and straightened my legs in an instant like a spring shooting forward.
I knew she was an archer and could shoot at extreme speed so I couldn't just recklessly dash towards her, so instead I zig-zagged, and would turn 90 degree turns often to try and dodge her arrows.
Every time I turned to zig zag the ground would crack and a mini dust explosion would appear.
But before I could even get close, she leaped into the air and grabbed 5 arrows at once and shot 5 arrows in 5 completely different directions.
The arrows were all aimed at different places, but once the arrows shot out they curved towards me so now there were 5 arrows coming at me at light speed from 5 different directions.
I didn't know how to react or dodge so in panic I raised my defense to the max and caused scales to grow all over me.
I raised my hands over my head as I braced myself for impact.
At that moment, the lightning arrows hit me.
