Book 3: Chapter 48: The Strong Desire To Survive
“Big brother, are your bones hard enough?”
Great terror suddenly crept over Gulliver’s heart.
Not because of the huge gap between his own strength and his opponent’s, but because the words of the lovely and petite blonde loli in front of him didn’t sound like a joke.
Are your bones hard enough?
If they’re not, then they’ll break.
Lilith flicked the broadsword with her other hand and Gulliver was ejected more than ten meters away by this unstoppable force, accompanied by a loud metal clang.
Gulliver struggled to steady his feet. Although he didn’t sustain any injury from this, his hands had begun to tremble and he could barely keep his grip on the hilt of his sword.
Lilith didn’t take advantage of the situation to follow up with another attack. It was as though she was deliberately giving Gulliver the time to recover.
“Are you ready, big brother?”
Lilith’s tone was gentle like an adorable little sister who was asking her big brother if he was ready for school in the morning. However, in Gulliver’s ears, it sounded no different than a mockery.
He was definitely no match for her, even an idiot could see the obvious gap between their strengths.
However, retreating was never Gulliver’s style!Aall newest chapters on
He gripped the hilt of his sword tightly with both hands.
“COME!” He squeezed the word through his gritted teeth.
As soon as his voice fell, Lilith vanished.
Traveling a distance of ten meters was nothing for Lilith. She was so fast that even Gulliver’s powerful eyesight couldn’t catch her figure.
She reappeared in front of Gulliver and her fist landed squarely on his sword.
BANG!
Gulliver’s face turned pale, as though the punch had landed on his chest instead of his sword.
The strange impact made him stagger a few steps back, each leaving a footprint of a few inches deep under his feet.
BANG!
Before he could even steady himself, Lilith landed another punch on his sword.
Gulliver was forced back again, while swallowing the metallic tasting substance that was coming up his throat.
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
Lilith continued landing punch after punch on Gulliver’s sword, as though she had locked onto the target.
Every time Gulliver managed to catch his breath, Lilith would knock it out of him.
Although his instincts told him that something was off, Gulliver still answered the question truthfully.
“Of course I feel frustrated from being defeated, no matter who the opponent is.”
Gulliver regretted saying that as soon as he was done.
Lilith’s sparkly eyes were shining even brighter now. Those sparkles terrified Gulliver.
Lilith clapped excitedly and spoke admiringly, “I knew you have a backbone, big brother!”
She then fished out a healing scroll and pasted it on Gulliver’s face.
Gulliver couldn’t react to it.
The powerful healing scroll made by the Queen of Dragons began to take effect, and Gulliver’s arms were perfectly healed in just a flash.
Lilith returned the broadsword to him again and spoke solemnly to him, “Do your best, big brother. You still have a slight chance of defeating me.”
She then quickly took a few steps back, like a child who had just made someone an ‘it’ in a game of tag and told him that it was his turn to catch her. She clapped her hands excitedly and said, “Come on, big brother! It’s your turn to attack me! I won’t hide! I can take whatever you serve.”
Gulliver looked at the broadsword in his hand that was still slightly crooked even though the blade had been straightened, then at Lilith who was still in perfect condition. He gritted his teeth and got up.
“CHARGE!” With a yell, he rushed in the opposite direction instead...
Then tripped on an abandoned weapon on the ground and crashed noisily into the ground.
He clutched his arm that wasn’t even injured and started wailing, “My arm! My arm! It’s broken!!!”
He rolled all over the ground while wailing, completely forgetting that it was common sense to not make big movements after a fracture.
Lilith was speechless.
I’d be damned if I believe that.
Where the hell is your backbone?
Gulliver instantly shot up straight upon sensing Lilith’s hostility.
Lilith’s eyes lit up, thinking that he had finally changed his mind to have a heart-rending rematch with herself.
However, Gulliver didn’t look back. He grabbed his other arm with one hand instead, and then swung it backward forcefully.
A crack was heard, then Gulliver’s face went pale.
He clutched his shoulder and wailed, “Oh no! My old injury is acting up! My shoulder has dislocated!”
Lilith and everyone in the audience went silent.
One of the invigilators finally couldn’t stand watching anymore and gave him a reminder. “Actually, you can just surrender if you don’t wish to fight. There’s no need to harm yourself like that.”
‘Why didn’t you say so earlier?!’ Gulliver thought to himself.
“Tch.”
Lilith curled her lips boredly, then turned her gaze to Xina.
Xina, who had always been as cold as an iceberg, shivered when she sensed Lilith’s burning gaze. She quickly sat up while enduring severe pain and raised her hands. “I surrender.”
