Chapter 157 - 157 – Road To Redemption
Gestures whispering to each other, gasping, and shaking heads. Things like that were seen from the audience and match officials as Leva walked towards the arena. I found some of them bandaged in some parts, especially the face. It was apparent they had fallen victim to Leva's rampage yesterday.
The match between Ivan against a fighter from Redtooth is still ongoing. Like yesterday, Ivan continued to deliver brutal punch combinations to his much smaller opponent.
Leva stopped a few meters from the arena. She then took off her jacket, revealing her beautiful body clad only in a bra-like outfit and shorts that barely covered her finely-shaped butt. It immediately triggered gasping again from the people. Either because they were surprised that Leva still dared to wear such revealing clothes or because the bruises on Leva's body had disappeared entirely.
Even cuts and bruises on the girl's face had almost vanished, leaving only minor, insignificant marks.
Eric started to wrap Leva's hands in a long cloth while the red-haired girl watched the match. The fighter from Redtooth was catching Ivan's leg, but the big man just lifted his opponent's body high. A loud thud was accompanied by cheers from the crowd as the Redtooth fighter was slammed to the ground.
Yes, their attention is on the match again.
Ivan sat on his opponent's stomach, then began to throw a barrage of fists. The fighter from Redtooth was utterly defenseless as the fists continued to hit his right and left cheeks. It continued under the supervision of the referee, who was a different person from yesterday.
Blood was already splattering from the Redtooth fighter's face. However, the referee only stopped the match when both hands of the Redtooth fighter had fallen weakly to the ground.
"Stop it!" And like yesterday, the referee had a hard time getting Ivan to stop beating his opponent. Some people even have to enter the arena after getting a signal.
Resistance did occur from Ivan. The officials needed extra effort until Ivan finally stood up from his opponent, whose face was now almost shapeless.
"And the winner is Ivan from the Acornhull tribe!!!" The female announcer shouted using a funnel just as the referee raised Ivan's hand.
Cheers echoed from the group of spectators from Acornhull. While the residents of Redtooth remained silent, some looked inspired or annoyed, some slapped their foreheads, and some even left the hills.
Nothing strange. With this, the representative of Redtooth is no more.
Leva's next opponent was Naomi, who was also standing near the arena, albeit from a different side from my female colonist.
The fighter from Redtooth was carried on a stretcher while Ivan and several of his companions exited the arena. The big tall man grinned widely at Leva as he walked away from the location.
After the officials cleared the arena, the announcer made an announcement. "The second semifinal match for today is between Leva from the nameless tribe from the west, against Naomi from the Acornhull tribe! Fighters, please enter the arena!"
The cheers from Acornhull rang out again, while there was no more shouting from Redtooth's side. Ah, I just realized that the screams of the crazy women who were chasing Eric were no longer heard.
Leva jumped in and got a pat on the back from Eric. The red-haired woman still had to wait for Naomi, who entered in slow motion. I could see a slight blush on the cheeks of the female fighter from Acornhull.
Leva looked around, sneering and nodding. "Is this the final you mean, Nani?"
Leva's tan-skinned opponent snorted. "Yeah, I admit that I'm stupid for not reading the match chart well. And my name is not Nani, but Naomi. Then, may I ask one thing? What the fuck did you do to yourself to recover from your grievous wounds?"
"This is because of his treatment." Leva pointed at Eric.
"What kind of treatment?"
My female colonist chuckled. "Super special treatment."
Naomi frowned, while Eric just scratched his head. With Leva's tone, people could misunderstand the remark.
"Well, it doesn't matter." Naomi shrugged. "Obviously, you're in good shape now. I was worried that you wouldn't recover…."
"Fights!" The referee started the match before Naomi finished her sentence, and Leva had put on a stance.
Sighing, Naomi also used a fighting pose like Leva did. The two of them then walked around and approached each other.
I could see the focus and determination on Leva's face. No signs of being ashamed of yesterday's events or angry outbursts anymore. She focused on the match. A good sign.
Come on, Leva. This is for your pride too.
The one who gave the first fist was Leva. However, it was immediately blocked by Naomi. The female fighter from Acornhull countered with a fist as well, and Leva was able to avoid it by pulling her head. When Naomi gives a kick, Leva can also dodge.
And the exchange of intense attacks continued. Both are equally aggressive, and no one wants to lose. Even so, only a few of their attacks were able to finally hit the opponent. Both Leva and Naomi can dodge or block well.
"If you fought like this yesterday. Then you will win easily." Naomi dodged Leva's umpteenth fist.
"I also fought like this yesterday!" Leva snorted.
"But …." Naomi choked when Leva was no longer in front of her. "Kyaaa!!!"
The woman from Acornhull screamed as two hands squeezed both her breasts from behind her.
"BOOBPLEX!!!" Leva, now behind Naomi, performs the same movement as her opponent did yesterday. The red-haired girl lifts Naomi up, then falls backward intentionally while bridging her back and legs. She slammed that fighter from Acornhull to the ground, back of the head first with the legs spread up.
I jumped for joy. The movement is cleaner than Dex's version.
And just like yesterday's Dex, Leva shifted to the side and got up, albeit without making any celebratory gestures. She retreated to the corner of the arena instead while looking at Naomi. The latter was on the ground with her arms outstretched.
The referee raised a finger. "One!"
