Chapter 124
"In case you're wondering Yaksha is a Goliath . . . " Jay said noticing my intrigue in her .
"Aren't Goliath . . . . Giants?? . . . . . " I asked in return .
"Hmmmm . . . . . Giants and Goliath are different races . . . . . They do say Goliath's are descendants of Stone giants . . . that's why they are noticeably taller than us and greyish in skin colour . " Jay answered .
"They generally aren't very wise or smart either . " Grace chuckled .
"Yes . . . it is kind of known that Goliaths are a bit like orcs . . . . not the brightest of races . . . . . Unless it's to do with fighting or brawling . " Jay added .
"She's so awesome!!" Daisy smiled in excitement .
"As you can see from her attire and skin tone . . . . . Bo is from the Eastern Continent . . . most likely a monk . . . . " Grace added .
"Wait that's the same type of person you will be up against right? . . . . " I asked Grace in return .
"Yes but she's apparently a master level so I assume Bo is way above my opponents level . " Grace answered .
"Can she really win in a fight? . . . " I asked curiously .
"Considering she's ranked five . . . . . I assume she's pretty strong . " Jay commented .
"None the less . . . . she's going to have a hard time . . . . . Yaksha is pretty sturdy fighter . . . . she's an absolute unit . . . . . some say she took down a fire giant by herself . " Grace added .
Both fighters were surprisingly courteous to each other shaking each other's hand with giant smiles on the faces and exchanging pleasantries before making their way back to assigned markers on the floor waiting for the match to start .
"Who do you think is going to win? . . " I heard Scarlet ask Paul .
"I'm pretty sure Bo is going to win . " Paul guessed .
"What makes you think that? . . . " Ashley asked .
"Although this generally tends to be a bad match up for her . . . she has a special fighting style, she's yet to reveal yet . " Paul explained .
"And how do you know about it then? . . " Scarlet asked curiously .
"You can sense it right? . . . that slight bit of radiant energy she emanates . . . " Paul asked .
"Is that it? . . . . " Scarlet laughed .
"Ahhh you and your nonchalant attitude . . . will be the doom of you" Paul sighed .
The whole Colosseum fell silent as an illusionary countdown timer beginning 10 appeared in the centre, as well as a live view of the match appearing in the sky for the viewers further away . I sensed nothing of the special radiant energy Paul spoke about, only the normal new sensation that everything and everyone else but weirdly enough I felt nothing emanating from Paul . . . as if he wasn't there at all . . . .
"Ohhhhh it's about to start!!!" Daisy burst in absolute excitement .
The exact moment the timer hit zero Bo appeared on the side of Yaksha with unfathomable speed and proceeded to lay an absolute devastating flurry of blows right into Yaksha's unguarded side, with each blow physically forcing giant to take steps back stopping Bo flank her rear .
"Wouldn't it be more effective if she just used a weapon? . . . " I asked curiously .
"You guys weren't hit by one of those punches . . . but the hologram I've been training against its fists were as hard as rocks, I can imagine those punches just now being even worse, even to a Goliath . " Grace answered .
"Yup Goliath's are renowned to be extremely sturdy and tough . . . so if those forced her back a few paces… . They must've hurt" Jay agreed .
Yaksha looked up at Bo with a giant grin on her face letting out a giant roar that could even be heard from here, stepping forward returning swings back with absolute savagery with no concern for Bo's safety .
"Isn't this a bit dangerous for the contestants? . . . . " I asked noticing that Bo wasn't pulling her punches or Yaksha swinging with enough force to cleave her in half .
"It's a bit unsafe but there are the best healers and stuff ready on standby for them when the match ends . " Helen answered reminding me of that spell Paul used to fix my legs .
Miraculously Bo appeared unscathed dodging and parrying her swings with upmost confidence allowing the axe to barely graze past her, even using an opening to land an elbow up the chin and a strong side kick straight to the abdomen but this time Yaksha was unfazed almost if those hits didn't even land, her body didn't react one bit .
"She's gonna be upset using it this early in the tournament . " Paul said with a giant smile .
Using an opening after dodging another swing Bo rolled back leaping backwards, assuming a different stance and closed her eyes . Suddenly her fists and body began a brilliant yellow similar to Daisy when she's in the heat of a battle .
"Ohhh this just got exciting . " Daisy said edging forward on her seat .
