The Match Ends / An Attack

[Then, the match begins!!!]

In the wine tube--

"Um, Zofia, why won't you let me buy a ticket to watch the game live?" Maria Nearl, sitting in the tavern watching the match on TV, asked her aunt with a helpless yet worried expression.

"I'm afraid you might do something impulsive, so you'd better stay here with us today."

Although Zofia was answering Maria Nearl's question, her gaze never left the television screen.

To be honest, when Zofia saw Bianca's enemy, her pupils constricted slightly, and she almost broke out in a cold sweat.

What is happening right now directly confirms everything Bianca had said and guessed before.

Because this time, the opposing team's strategy was clearly aimed at killing Bianca...

While Zofia felt tense and worried for Bianca, she also felt a sense of relief. She was glad that she had listened to Bianca and hadn't let her child go out... In this situation, she didn't believe that those unscrupulous people wouldn't have a backup plan.

"Alright, Maria Nearl, Zofia was just worried about you. The match is about to start, so focus on watching it. Give your friend some trust; haven't you always trusted her?" At this moment, bald Martin, who was sitting next to him, also spoke up.

"... Oh well."

After listening to Bald Martin's words of comfort, Maria Nearl recalled Bianca's confident smile, and her somewhat flustered heart gradually calmed down before she sat down next to her aunt.

He watched the match with a serious expression...

"Call out--"

As Big Mouth Mob announced the start, a sharp arrow, shrouded in a wisp of black mist, swiftly launched a sneak attack towards Bianca.

"..."

Bianca made no attempt to dodge, instead brandishing her spear and easily cleaving the arrow imbued with Originium Arts.

Meanwhile, the five enemies on the field, who were already clearly divided into factions, were completely split into two groups. Corruption and Decay were the main attackers, while the other three were responsible for support and harassment, making it easier for them to eliminate their targets.

"If this is all the petty tricks you have, then it's time to leave." Looking at the five who had quickly split into opposing sides, a hint of impatience flashed in Bianca's azure eyes before she spoke coldly.

Her cold, pointed words, delivered through the microphone, echoed throughout the arena and reached everyone's ears.

"...Oh! Bianca!!!"

[Is this the arrogance of the Independent Knight Bianca?! Facing five enemies alone, she remains so calm. Will she be able to end this match as she claims?! Let's wait and see!]

"Pshaw... That's wishful thinking."

"It's alright, it's already locked on... there's no escaping it."

After hearing Bianca's words, the five enemies opposite her were somewhat disdainful.

Although the strength that the silly goose had shown before was not ordinary, this time they also had two monsters on their side... truly deserving and repulsive monsters.

"Well..."

Bianca wasn't one to listen to empty threats. After a light sigh, she pushed off with her feet and officially began this "battle."

This time, the goose was slightly more serious than in the previous matches. After all, trying to quickly and decisively eliminate the enemy without killing them is a very demanding task.

"Boom--"

The earth cracked, fissures spreading across the arena, this time more pronounced than ever before. Using this force, Bianca shot forward fearlessly, charging towards her enemy.

While approaching the two Sarkaz Knights, Wither and Corruption, would suppress Originium Arts' healing abilities, what does that have to do with Slowpoke?

Aside from protecting her ordinary armor and lance, she hadn't even used Honkai Energy; she simply relied on her skills and pure power.

"Careful--"

"She's charging at us." Faced with Bianca's charge, the five opposing characters launched their attacks, trying to stop her from getting close.

However, before these attacks could even get close to Bianca, they were shattered and dispersed by her terrifying power, which could overcome any obstacle with its sheer force. They did not pose the slightest hindrance to her.

"Get off the field!"

P. S.: I'm so sleepy. I hope I can finish writing this during the day. It's a bit scary. (Sending it here)

Everyone, please urge them to hurry up.

Chapter 36 The End of the Match

"Get off the field!"

With her terrifying burst of power, Bianca arrived in front of the Withered Knight almost instantly, and with lightning speed, she drew her gun again, aiming directly at her target.

"Varied--"

Seeing Bianca suddenly appear in front of him, the Withered Knight, who had been gripping his bow and arrow tightly, loosened his grip and fired an arrow at her head at extremely close range.

"Snort--"

Bianca didn't even blink or dodge. With a cold snort, she sent the Withered Knight flying with a single thrust of her spear, caught the incoming arrow with her hand, and then crushed it with her hand.

The shockwave from the exploding arrow whipped up the goose's golden hair, making it shimmer like golden silk in the sunlight.

[Incredible! Incredible!! Bianca continues her consistent performance! Just like in the previous matches, one shot, one kill. What terrifying skill!]

After taking down one more opponent, Bianca didn't linger and turned to continue her charge towards the others. Just as she had said at the beginning, since this was the extent of her attack, then it was time to end it.

Her next target was also very clear: the other Sarkaz Withered Knight. Although she wouldn't disregard the other three, these two enslaved Sarkaz knights were her priority targets.

"I'm going to... kill you."

After Wither was defeated by Bianca, the already irrational Corrupted Knight became even more violent. A putrid black mist rapidly spread from his body and finally condensed on the warhammer in his hand.

Without hesitation, he charged toward Bianca, intending to confront his "prey" head-on.

At the same time, the other three knights on the field also attacked again, unleashing their various Originium Arts at Bianca.

"Bass--"

Bianca did as the Corrupted Knight wished, making no attempt to dodge, and the attacks aimed at her were easily blocked by the energy overflowing from her body.

Then, in a flash, the spear and the warhammer collided rapidly, sparking a few flecks.

Then, to the astonishment of the audience, the Corrupted Knight's body was sent flying backward as if he had been severely injured, crashing heavily into the walls surrounding the arena.

[It's happening again!!! Just what kind of terrifying power does this beautiful knight Bianca possess?! Cheers, applause!!]

"Bianca!!!"

[Since everyone loves Bianca Knight so much, then let's give her our full support!!!]

"..."

Ignoring the noise in the arena, Bianca paused briefly as she looked at the Corrupted Knight she had knocked away, a hint of pity flashing in her azure eyes.

The two Sarkaz knights, Corruption and Decay, enslaved by the Commercial Union, were people that Dumb Goose knew something about. That was why she was showing these emotions at this moment.

Unfortunately, Bianca doesn't have the ability to help them right now; she hasn't even obtained the Abyss Flower yet... Thinking about this, she couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

'Well...'

With a helpless sigh, Bianca quickly withdrew her gaze and then swept it over the three remaining enemies still standing in the arena.

"!"

The remaining three knights, upon noticing Bianca's gaze, instantly tensed up.

Let's end it here.

As Bianca's calm voice fell, she leaped high into the air and then hurled the energy-encased lance in her hand, which landed firmly on the ground near the three knights.

The earth cracked open in the next instant, and the shockwave, carrying terrifying force, knocked the three knights to the ground, knocking them unconscious.

"Complete domination! This is another crushing victory for Independent Knight Bianca!!! It's incredible, she managed to easily turn the tide against 5 opponents!!!"

"The referee has ruled that Bianca of the Independent Knights is the winner of this match!!!"

"Bianca!!!"

"..."

After hearing the verdict, Bianca, as usual, left quickly without lingering.

She had absolutely no interest in listening to the host's boasting or the fans' cheers... she just found it noisy.

In Silly Goose's opinion, staying here was worse than going back to find Maria Nearl and the others.

In the tavern--

"Wow, Bianca won again! She's amazing!" Maria Nearl, who was watching the match from a tavern bench, exclaimed excitedly after hearing the final verdict.

Although the little pony already knew that her friend was very strong, she still couldn't help but marvel at her every time she saw her fight.

"Indeed, she seemed completely at ease. I underestimated that girl." Upon hearing this, Zofia, who was sitting to the side, nodded slightly and said with her eyes lowered.

Before knowing their opponent, Zofia had a lot of faith in Bianca, but after seeing the enemy, she began to feel secretly nervous.

This tension only gradually disappeared after Bianca secured her victory.

"Bianca is indeed a remarkable young girl, though she's a bit too straightforward. But that's what youth is all about," the old knight remarked with a touch of admiration after taking a large gulp of wine with his snacks.

"That's right. If you don't act impulsively when you're young, you won't have the chance when you're old." This time, the old craftsman didn't refute the old knight's words. Instead, he nodded in agreement.

"Alright, Uncle Fu, you two shouldn't just keep drinking. Miss Champion will be back soon. I'll go buy some groceries so we can celebrate." Zofia sighed helplessly as she looked at the two elderly people sitting not far away.

"Mmm! That's great! Looks like we're in for a treat today."

"Yes, thanks to Bianca."

"You guys, forget it, I'll give you a discount on drinks today." Bald Martin said with a smile after hearing what Zofia and the others said.

"Old Martin, you said it yourself, I've got it. We're going to have a good drink tonight!"

Suddenly I don't want discounts anymore.

"That won't do! A knight must keep his word!"

P. S.: Writing this tournament format was really tough on me. Some people say I'm padding it out, but I can't help it. The matches aren't continuous, and I can't just jump around in between; I can only intersperse daily life segments. It made it so unenjoyable for me... Anyway, I'll try to speed things up as much as possible because I'm already planning to write about Mobius.

Same as always, updates before 6 PM...

Chapter 37 Attack

Because of Bianca's consistently tough stance, coupled with the attitude of those above her, no company representatives or others invited her after the competition ended.

The goose was quite happy to have some peace and quiet. After avoiding the fans who had become enthusiastic because of her winning streak, she quickly left the arena.

However, this time Bianca didn't rush back to the tavern to meet up with Maria Nearl and the others. Instead, she calmly went to buy some food first.

Although the goose doesn't really care about winning the competition, it would be nice to buy some food, get together with friends he met here, and celebrate.

"..."

Bianca, who was shopping, suddenly paused, but quickly resumed her normal activities without anyone noticing anything amiss.

Just now, Dai'e received a message from Sakura about the Armorless Union. However, this message did not surprise her, as it was exactly what she expected.

Then, with a calm expression, she silently responded in her heart:

"I understand, Sakura. In that case, please keep a close eye on Maria Nearl and the others lately."

Okay, just call me anytime if you need anything, I'll help you clean up.

'Um.'

After a brief chat with Sakura, Bianca had bought almost everything she needed. After paying, she didn't linger but instead carried her load of items straight to the tavern.

Bianca wasn't worried about the Armorless Union's intention to attack her, as she had confidence in her own abilities. And with Sakura protecting Maria Nearl and the others, she was even less concerned.

"I'm back, and I brought some food with me."
