Chapter 77 — Binata v Kamira
.
.
The moment Binata said that, she dipped her hand into her pocket and brought out a pill...
It was red in colour but it wasn't a hot pill.. Round and the size of a cherry seed. She swallowed it immediately as her energy flared up wildly... Her black hair stood up as a terrifying aura descended on Kamira who instantly felt the threat of death..
"What just happened? What has she taken?"
The referee squinted his eyes as he brought the transmission stone closer to his mouth when suddenly a voice was transmitted into his ear.
"Don't."
The voice was so terrifying that he had no choice but to drop his hand and just watch what was about to unfold.
Dash!
Binata moved and arrived in front of Kamira in an instant...
The two looked at each other — eyeball to eyeball — as terrifying pressure enveloped Kamira, causing all her body system to shake vigorously..
'I've to move...' She willed herself but she couldn't... The pressure was just too terrifying..
None of her body system would allow her to move...
Binata flashed her a cruel smile as she raised her right leg and landed a horizontal kick on her stomach...
It was a clean hit which forcefully drove her backward, but before she could fall or even regain balance, Binata was already before her.
Pulling her by the helm of her coat, she drove a punch directly into her face, making sure it landed exactly on her nose as the force of the punch tore through the air pressure while her body was flung backward into the air with blood spurting from her mouth and nose before crashing violently into the four-square Formation Socrates was in before finally crashing on the cold floor.
Socrates jumped up at once as the Blue Square Formation shook to its core, only to see Kamira writhing on the floor with blood dripping from her nose and mouth onto the snow...
He looked at Binata who was approaching with a terrifying gaze and violent aura when he recalled this kind of aura that makes one violent...
'She consumed an energy pill... A low grade energy pill just to deal with Kamira..'
Instantly, Socrates knew this was bad... He knew the effects of an energy pill...
It was because of such a pill he could kill a cultivator while he wasn't one... But then that of his was a high grade energy pill.
But still, an energy pill is an energy pill and its effects make one go wild..
"I'm tired of this fucking game..." Socrates mustered all his strength as he threw a direct punch at the edge of the Blue Square Formation..
But the punch he threw ricocheted back at him twofold, causing him to be launched backward into the air before smashing hard against the inner surface of the formation and crashing painfully onto the ground....
"My attack was sent back to me... Does that mean I can't get out of this place until I destabilize it? I don't even know what to do... Is this how useless I am.. Will I just watch Kamira die?"
"I'm the one that brought her here.. I've to do something.." He struggled back to his feet as he rushed forward and threw a spear kick, but instead of the force going outward, it rebounded inward and slammed heavily into his chest, sending him tumbling across the formation before crashing against another edge of the Blue Square Formation, causing it to shake violently as a crack now appeared on the surface...
Meanwhile, Binata, who was aiming to cripple Kamira once and for all, heard the sound of the Blue Square Formation cracking...
Everyone heard the sound as joy filled some people's hearts...
But the referee wasn't happy.... Ever since Binata took the pill, the game was already over... But unfortunately, he doesn't get to decide..
'So is this how they will fail?'
Suddenly, the cracking stopped and didn't exceed a mere one meter..
And that's not enough to break the Blue Square Formation...
"So who should I go for? The formation or you..." Binata asked loudly as she stretched out her tongue and slowly licked her dagger... Cold air drifted from her lips as snowflakes landed on the blade.
"Kurama has destabilized the third section of the Blue Square Formation, leaving just one section." The referee announced through the transmission stone and the whole crowd cheered..
"Kurama will win.."
"There's no doubt about that.."
"Socrates hasn't even done anything."
"Oh.. My fave will lose and I've bet all my money on him.."
"You bet on a brute... Socrates is a brute.. I don't think he has any idea about formations.."
"Oh.. I wasn't even aware this would be the nature of the game..."
"I tell you... That Disciple is dumb.."
"What will happen to his girlfriend now?"
"What will the daughter of the Ichigo clan do?"
"Will she kill Socrates' girlfriend? Socrates might not spare her when he's finally out?"
"I don't know.. Let's watch and see what will happen..."
The crowd discussed amongst themselves while the icy wind swept across the arena, carrying the smell of blood through the air...
Meanwhile, at the top floor under an umbrella, two silhouettes sat there....
Judas hit the edge of the wine cup softly against his tongue but no wine came out of it anymore..
"Are you just going to watch your junior brother suffer?" Cleopatra asked and Judas shrugged.
"You clearly saw the opponents violating the rules of the game... With your influence, you could point this out and Socrates automatically becomes the winner."
"So where's the fun in it?" Judas asked..
"I want to see what he can do.. I want to see where his drive can push him to. I want to witness what will happen here.." Judas laughed out loud while Cleopatra shook his head slowly...
'What's there to witness? Kurama has already won and probably the Ichigo girl will kill that young lady..' He thought as he tapped on the table separating him and Judas..
