Mixed Blessing System

Chapter 296 Merten Vs Lothur

Upon hearing Merten's words, Lothur said nothing, only smiling at his opponent, demonstrating his probable guilt about this to everyone in the vicinity.

At this point, pretending to be innocent would no longer make any difference to him. He had already demonstrated enough skills to make the Baier family suspicious of this. Moreover, even though he did not intend to use everything he had, Lothur already had it in mind to leave Merten in a deplorable state.

So the Baier family would not leave him in peace even if he refused such a thing!

But Lothur would also not talk about why he had done this, so he remained silent and waited for the start of the match!

Merten felt anger when he saw the look on his opponent's face, already holding his sword firmly, ready to give his best in this match.

At the same time, Lothur had his ax in his right hand, with each of his daggers hidden in his clothes.

That was the competition concerning warriors, so items auxiliary to combat techniques were allowed. The only items not allowed were those not auxiliary to technique, as in the case of armor.

Thus, neither Lothur nor Merten had such items on their bodies, only their combat weapons.

"Begin!" The referee shouted, just after the hourglass stabilized and sand began to fall from its top.

When the two heard this, they both used their movement techniques, moving across that platform against the other.

Since Lothur had already displayed some of his speed when fighting Oliver, he was obligated in this situation to show himself faster than his opponent.

But when he got close to Merten to attack him, Lothur promptly controlled his strength to a little above his opponent's level.

[Name: Merten Baier]

[Cultivation: level 6]

[STR: 16.1] [CON:16.5] [DEX: 15.9] [AGI: 16.1]

He saw his opponent's attributes and made the necessary adjustments, striking Merten's right shoulder with his ax falling diagonally.

Merten saw this in awe, given his opponent's speed, but as he counterattacked Lothur with his sword going towards the ax blade, it did not take long for him to feel relief.

Clash!

When the two blades clashed, everyone in the surrounding area was surprised that Lothur had not made Merten fall and wound him. Instead, the young Baier family man had somehow withstood the attack well, even considering that he was gradually retreating, indicating the superiority of the young Ritter.

Feeling that he could not stand against this opponent for long, Merten jumped backward, trying to get away from the range of Lothur's ax.

As he did so, he sighed, feeling that although fast, his opponent was not as strong as he thought.

Merten's situation was still bad, in his opinion. Lothur was stronger than him, which was invariably a risk to his physical integrity. But the difference was not so significant, and he could do something against this opponent!

'Bastard, you scared me!' He saw Lothur once again coming towards him.

Lothur soon began to deliver diagonal attacks, moving that ax with one of his hands like a painter using his brush while Merten danced with his sword.

Lothur's blows were a bit stronger than Merten's, so this young black-haired man was slowly suffering at his opponent's hands without even inflicting any risks on the silver-haired man.

But as Lothur moved around that combat platform quickly, as if trying to break through his opponent's defenses, he slowly began to sweat.

"Uh? Is he using everything he has?"

"It can't be... Is he that weak? Don't tell me we overestimated him?"

"It's not a big surprise either. After all, who can be so good in many different areas and still be a good warrior?"

"That is indeed a point to think about..."

"But what about that speed of his?"

"Maybe it's a special characteristic of his body. It's not as strange as you think..."

Comments and discussions quickly spread while Lothur's enemies frowned, feeling that they had been frightened a little too soon.

Meanwhile, Lothur tried his hardest to train his movement technique while fighting Merten. That was the only way he had thought of to make it look like he was using his all to fight this person.

'Well, I can't take too long...' He looked in the direction of the hourglass, realizing that half the time had already passed. 'If I look too weak, someone might get suspicious. Then it's time to deal with Merten!'

So he continued to move as before, only attacking more and more of his opponent's weak points, gradually ruining the sword in Merten's hands.

As Lothur did this, Merten was already panting, feeling several cuts around his body, which Lothur had made during this fight.

As his sword had lost its edge due to Lothur's relentless attacks, Merten tried to defend himself against a move by his opponent, but his hands could not withstand such an attack.

At that instant, he let his sword fall, but Lothur continued his attack, aiming to cut off one of his opponent's arms.

He had promised to be decisive, so he would not change his mind now!

As such, while Merten had a lost expression on his face and the people of his family were shouting things of all sorts, Lothur's ax struck the middle of this young man's left arm.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"Ahhhhh!"

Merten roared in pain as more of his blood splattered into the surroundings, along with three-quarters of his arm being cut off by Lothur's movement.

The spectators in the surrounding area watched this in animation, with some bringing their hands to their mouths in disgust while others screamed in satisfaction, raising their drinking glasses.

The audience convulsed as Merten finally fell to the ground, and the referee ended the match!

"In this first round, 11th fight of the day on the 8th platform, Lothur Ritter defeats his opponent!" That man shouted for all to hear as the Frost family gained more points.

[... 11th Frost Family: 24...]

Lothur paid no attention to this, seeing the system announcement regarding his training relative to the Cross Walk.

[+0.1 in all physical attributes.]

[+0.1 in AGI.]

[+0.1 in WIL.]

[+0.2 in CON.]

...

[Name: Lothur Ritter]

[Physique: what doesn't kill you makes you stronger]

[Bloodline: Life Devourer]

[Cultivation: level 8]

[STR: 25.2] [CON: 53.9] [DEX: 21.4] [AGI: 29.6]

[INT: 68.8] [PER: 70] [WIL: 73.7]

[EVF: 247]

Lothur smiled as he wiped the sweat on his forehead, satisfied with his overall result in this situation, ignoring the cries of pain from his fallen opponent before him.

As this match was already over, he rushed to Elke's side while ignoring the protests of the Baier family, who could do nothing against him at the moment.

With that, his first match was over, and soon he began to prepare for the next fight he would have, which would undoubtedly be more complicated than this one!
