Terra Nova Online: Rise of The Strongest Player

Chapter 235: Leo Vs Tracy (2)

“Contestants ready?” The match referee asked, as both Leo and Tracy nodded their heads in acknowledgement.

“Good luck, masked boy, you’ll need it-” Tracy said confidently as she notched an arrow into her bow and pointed it straight towards Leo’s head.

“Lol” Leo said out loud, as he dismissed the Elf’s words like it meant nothing to him.

“BEGIN-” The referee announced, as Tracy let an arrow out towards Leo at blinding speed.

*SWOOSH*

*Clink*

Blocking the arrow with his dagger, Leo deflected the blow as he dashed towards Tracy to shorten the gap between himself and her.

Since Tracy was an archer, the longer distance between the two opponents was only ever going to work out in her favor, however, if he could close down the gap, Leo knew that the advantage would shift in his favor.

He knew that Tracy’s agility and precision made her a formidable opponent at range, but up close, her options would be severely limited, which was why he dashed towards her like a mad dog.

Tracy, realizing Leo’s strategy, swiftly repositioned herself, leaping backwards with grace and drawing another arrow from her quiver. She released it with pinpoint accuracy, aiming for Leo’s legs to slow his advance.

*SWISH*

*CLANG*

Leo anticipated the trajectory of her shot and deflected it with a throw of his dagger.

While he made it seem like a simple maneuver, in reality it was extremely difficult to hit a fast moving arrowhead precisely with a dagger throw, however, the kind of training that Ben had given him, made Leo capable of executing such complex maneuvers with ease.

“Your accuracy with daggers is better than I thought, however, there are always limitations to throwing projectiles versus shooting them” Tracy muttered, her confidence wavering slightly as she nocked another arrow.

“Says the one running away from me like a scared pussy cat… come face me with honor.

Here kitty, kitty, kitty….” Leo replied, as he mocked Tracy for being a scaredy cat from her foot movement which was constantly running away from Leo.

“Shut-up, don’t you dare mock me by calling me a kitty cat…..” Tracy said, seething in rage as she took out a special black colored arrow from her quiver.

Chanting a quick incantation, Tracy began preparing a magic spell as her bow began to glow with a faint green light.

Charging her special arrow with mana, Tracy released it towards Leo, however, almost as soon as it left her bow, the single black arrow multiplied into a barrage of arrows, each one infused with elemental wind magic.

The arrows streaked towards Leo, leaving trails of green energy in their wake, as Leo quickly calculated their trajectory, within a split second.

Leo’s instincts kicked in. He twisted and turned, his body to move out of the way of a majority of the arrows, while also using his dagger in a blur of movements as he deflected arrow after arrow.

This was the final form of his reflex training with Ben, where Ben bombarded him daily with a constant barrage of daggers as he expected Leo to deflect and block them all.

The audience gasped at this exchange, they had never seen someone defending against such a fast barrage with such precision, as Tracy used this time to regain the distance that Leo had covered towards her, as she ran further away.

Surprisingly, even when dealing with such a touch barrage, Leo had somehow still found time to hurl one dagger towards Tracy, which whizzed past her cheeks, drawing blood.

Tracy’s eyes widened in surprise, her reflexes barely saving her as she dodged to the side at the last possible second, as if she was slower by even a fraction of a second, the dagger was sure to impale her nose.

The dagger after drawing blood, embedded itself in the ground behind her, as Tracy stared at the bloody dagger and then at Leo, who was once again dashing towards her after neutralizing her barrage as if he was some freak of nature.

“What the hell! Just how fast are your reflexes to come out of that barrage unscathed?” Tracy questioned, as Leo did not bother responding to her question and only focused on chasing her down.

*Boom*

*Boom*

As Tracy was focused on Leo’s movements, she did not even realize when he had rolled smoke bombs near her, as suddenly two smoke bombs exploded between her location and Leo’s, reducing her visibility of her opponent to zero.

*CHEEERS*

The use of smoke bombs excited the crowd, as from the second that Leo entered the smoke, his figurine almost vanished completely as he blended in perfectly with the shadows.

“What?” Tracy said in confusion, as she nocked an arrow and tried to locate Leo using her superior elven vision, however, failed spectacularly in doing so, as no matter how hard she tried, she could not find Leo at all.

*SWOOSH*

*SWOOSH*

*SWOOSH*

*SWOOSH*

Randomly shooting inside the smoke, Tracy hoped to catch Leo with a stray shot as she systematically targeted every square inch of the smoke, hoping to hit Leo at least once.

A few seconds passed by and the smoke slowly started to thin and disperse, as a rough silhouette of Leo became visible through the thinning smoke.

“I’ve got you now-” Tracy said, as she pulled back her bowstring with all her strength and used one of her strongest archery shots, as she infused her bow and arrow with mana.

[ Finishing Blow ]

*SWIRLLL*

A superfast arrow that could pierce a hole through a boulder easily, came flying towards Leo’s silhouette at blinding speeds, as it seemed like Leo had not seen it coming at all.

“It’s over …..” Tracy said in joy, however, as the arrow passed through the shadow of Leo’s silhouette harmlessly, Tracy was left dumbfounded by the illusion.

“A fake?” Tracy said in shock, as she panicked and started to look around herself to ensure that the enemy had not sneaked up on her, however, unfortunately for her, Leo had indeed sneaked up on her and was coming flying down towards her with two daggers pointed towards her throat and heart.

Using a mixture of ‘Vanish’ and ‘Mirror World’ Leo had managed to completely remove himself from Tracy’s field of vision, as he managed to sneak up on her undetected.
