Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix

Chapter 365: Duel wielder

The adversary lost the air in his lungs and then took a step backward. Still, then Reca continued with the attack by headbutting his chin and paralyzing him once more for a moment before Reca jumped and then hit the side of his head and made him fall.

The second tribe leader soon got up when he recovered since he couldn't imagine Reca losing that chance. Still, she just went to pick up her weapon near the wall before anything. At the same time, he realized that her body had returned to normal, and she began to sweat a lot.

"She overdid it by attacking so many times in quick succession without her weapon..." Jori said. "What do you think she should do, Rain?"

"Don't know," Rain replied while lost in thought.

Jori felt a bit angry since it didn't look like Rain was putting any faith in them. While clenching his fists in annoyance, he considered giving him a piece of his mind, but soon Reca charged at the adversary.

"Recover first, idiot," Jori muttered. "The adversary is bleeding too..."

The second tribe leader assumed a defensive stance with his remaining arm, and he also pointed his claws at Reca as well.

In a quick succession of thrusts, Reca attacked or tried to attack the second leader's heart, but he blocked and parried her trust with his claws. Sparks spread around the area with each hit, and the tension in the arena was increasing... The audience was in silent, but they looked excited since they could tell that their warrior had the upper hand.

In the next moment, Reca swung her spear at the neck of the adversary, but he waved his body to the side and avoided it. Reca attacked in the same way on the return stroke, and he tried to do the same thing, but soon, the adversary changed his mind when Reca suddenly made her spear burn. The flames weren't that powerful, but they could cause some damage...

What makes this accomplishment especially remarkable is the substantial increase in stamina consumption over a relatively short period. Compared to their typical use of Limit Breaker, this unleashed version drained stamina at an astonishing rate – somewhere between five to ten times more than usual. This placed an immense strain on the body, both physically and mentally.

It's no surprise that Reca found herself completely drained afterward. The rapid and intense depletion of stamina was taxing, pushing her to her limits. The effort required to maintain the heightened state of Limit Breaker, along with the demands of the battle, left her utterly fatigued.

In any case, soon the next opponent arrived. The next contestant to enter the arena bore a striking resemblance to an orc, with a blend of human and pig-like features that were intimidating. His appearance clearly conveyed his remarkable strength and prowess.

Standing at a modest height of just two meters, one might mistakenly underestimate his power. However, his body was densely packed with bulging muscles that defined his immense physical strength. He wore lightweight armor that allowed for swift and agile movements, striking a balance between protection and mobility.

Two formidable swords were holstered at his waist, gleaming menacingly and ready for combat.

His unwavering gaze reflected a resolute determination and readiness for battle. Despite his relatively shorter stature, there was an undeniable aura of strength and ferocity that surpassed even the previous opponent in terms of raw might.

"I guess I will deal with him," Jori said and then stepped forward. "That is fine, right?"

"Have you ever fought someone that uses dual weapons?" Rain asked.

"I did. You," Jori replied while grinning from ear to ear.
