Chapter 702: SONATA VS DRAGNAR (I)

XIA LEI looked at his opponent.  The other was playing a flute and the melodious music he just heard was coming from it.  From the match that he watched yesterday, this girl was undoubtedly a Bard who used flute as her main weapon.

Bards were somewhat similar to Priests, skill-wise.  Because many skills that a Bard could learn were related to buffs and debuffs.  The only difference was that Bards had to use music to execute their skills. 

He tried to remember what he knew about Bards.  Unlike other classes that only needed to pass the application test to get their desired class, Bards had another prerequisite.  They had to at least have a bit knowledge of music.  They didn't need to be good at it.  They just had to know how to read a music score.

Because the skill books they had to learn had an accompanying music score with them.  He really didn't know the full gist of it.  He just knew that knowing how to read a music score was a must.  Which was kind of illogical in his opinion. 

This was why despite being a good support, not many would choose Bard as their class.  Which was such a shame.  Because he heard that Bards had a lot of cool skills.  Not only that, they were also beautiful.  Probably to match the music that they used to attack.   

Xia Lei looked at his frozen body.  This was most likely the debuff effect of the music floating around them.  Seeing as how Sonata continued to play the flute, it was probably a skill that would have a continuous effect as long as the one who casted it continued to play the music.

He secretly sighed.  Would this be another replay of his match yesterday with the dryad Priest?  Attacking him one after another with debuffs and then finishing it off with a strong offensive attack.  So, if he didn't find a way to cancel the effect of this debuff, he would be like a fish lying on a cutting board just waiting to be chopped to pieces.

He first needed to think how to disrupt the other from her playing.  That was the best way for the music to stop.  The only question was 'how?'.  No, he already knew the answer to that.  A quick way for him to get out of this situation.  But that meant that he had to use his dragon traits.  And he really didn't want to.

He knew it was a stupid notion, as his sister repeatedly told him yesterday and this morning as well.  She said that he was being too prideful and that he cared about people's opinion too much.  He still remembered what his sister had said when he told her the reason why he was reluctant to fight like a dragon.

[What kind of stupid reasoning is that?  Who cares if you have an advantage because your avatar is a dragon?  You should use that instead of making up these excuses.  Do you think you'll be stone to death if you do otherwise?  Xiao Lei, we can't please everyone.  If there's an easy way out that wouldn't hurt or harm anyone, then choose it.  That's what smart people do.]

And apparently, because Xia Lei refused to do that, he's an idiot.

While he was pondering over that, the music suddenly changed.  And then his body just felt heavier and heavier, as if a huge boulder was pressing down on him.  After that, he felt something coming to his direction. He couldn't see what it was but based on gashes it made on the floor, it's definitely something sharp.

If he had to guess, it would probably be sound waves.  Because most of a Bard's offensive attack had something to do with sound.  He knew that he needed to dodge those or he might really just turn into a sashimi.

Sonata, on the other side, had used one of her strongest skills – [Sound Flurry].  Just like the name suggest, it's just a flurry of powerful sound wave attack that would last for 10 seconds straight.  These sound waves were not only strong, they were also invisible. 

Not that it would make any difference since the other still couldn't move.  She must admit that, at first, she was thinking how this match up was so unfair to her.  After all, the other was a dragon and the crowd favorite.  He was even the one predicted to be the most likely to win. 

That's why it was so daunting.  But after she calmed down, she remembered how the other didn't use any dragon-like attacks yesterday.  He only mostly used his sword. She wasn't sure if that was because his opponent was a girl so he was just trying to be a gentleman.  Or he was just looking down on his opponent and did not feel the need to use all of his strength.

But she knew that she could use that to her advantage.  That's why she quickly made her move the moment that countdown was over.  And it was indeed the right move. 

She might not be able to defeat Dragnar.  But that was okay.  She didn't join Rookie Carnival with the hopes that she would the champion.  She had already achieved one of her goals by getting into the quarter finals.  Now, she just needed to show a good performance so one of the big teams would recruit her.

If she could show that she could not only hold her own against the participant most likely to win, but also give him a hard time, then, that would make her look more appealing to the teams watching this match today. 

Sonata's attack finally reached Dragnar.  The other could only stand there as he couldn't move. As he was only accepting the attack, his clothes were being ripped apart and wounds appeared on his skin.  He truly looked pitiful. 

She didn't care about that and just prepared for her next attack.

And that's when a loud voice was heard throughout the coliseum, as if the other was using some kind of megaphone or something. 

"Hey, you idiot, are you really going to get beaten up like that?"
