Salvini found some armor and a spear that granted her access to world power very quickly. She found other things to bolster her strength then she went on a hunt to double her feats. A lot of people with feats died by her spear. It was after she had more than doubled her feats that she went to the 1st ring. No matter the outcome of the challenge, she will not be found wanting.
"It seems I am the first. Now I have to defend it." She said as she reached the zeroth ring.
The zeroth ring is a small white and smooth spot on the ground that is wide enough for one person to stand on. It is like a white blemish in this natural landscape. The entire arena will be destroyed leaving this white spot and a 3 meters space above it. Since flying is banned, only the person within the circle will be the last man standing. Everyone else can watch on or try to kill the person in the Zeroth ring before the 1st ring is destroyed.
She reached it first but she knows that doesn't mean that she has won the challenge. She has to defend it from challengers and she knows that they will come. She will try her best even though she knows that the likelihood of her winning is very low. There are a lot of individuals that are threats to her despite her ability to predict the future. These individuals began to arrive one after the other.
The first person to come to the 1st ring to challenge her was the Soul Fire, another king like her. This red-furred battle sage monkey walked unhurriedly to the 1st ring and gazed at the zeroth ring. The Soul Fire stopped as she slowly examined their surroundings. Litori appeared to be contemplating her course of action. She looked harmless and wasn't doing anything visibly dangerous.
Salvini wasn't fooled by the display. She lept to her left suddenly. She lept because she had been attacked. The air where she was standing rippled a little. It is the only indication of the attack that narrowly missed her. Litori had pretended to think while she sneaked attacked Salvini. There was no movement from her to indicate her intentions. Her attack was untraceable, deadly, and fast. Salvini couldn't block it even though she saw it coming way before it was made.
But Salvini didn't show fear. She grinned. "That's very bad of you. You should greet someone before..."
She didn't finish what she was saying because she had to dodge again. This time she didn't stay idle after dodging. She had to retaliate because the fate of a targeting board is to be riddled with holes. The spear in her hand cackled with power and she thrust forward.
Numerous grey phantom spears materialized in the air around her. They were about to sail forward when they stopped. She failed to attack Litori with it because she had to dodge again. Litori attacked her several times so she had to keep dodging or risk a one-hit instant death. It was more like she was hopping about, contorting her body in different ways and dodging in strange ways to keep Litori from predicting her position.
"Enough of this." She growled in frustration.
Her current situation won't last long. It has only been 10 seconds and she has had to dodge death 10 times. That is very bad and unpromising statistics in a fight. If not for her ability to predict the future then she would have died 10 times over. She can't continue like this or she will slip up and be done in. All Litori needs is one mistake from Salvini for her to be put down.
She ran off and then began circling Litori. Staying in the Zeroth ring limited her options and movements. She has to give up her position for now if she wants to get out of this alive. She began running around Litori at the top of her speed. Litori couldn't attack her with precision now that she is moving too fast so Salvini had breathing room to attack.
ƥαṇdα- ηθνε|·ƈθm She didn't get close to Litori. That will be suicide. The shorter the distance between them, the less time that she will have to dodge the spirit attacks. So she stayed far away while she shot phantom spears at her opponent. She made sure not to get cocky. One hit from Litori and she is doomed. She knows that, so she made sure to evade the attacks that came her way even as she retaliated.
Litori frowned at the situation. She is a king too and this is not the first king she is fighting. She defeated the last one. It was tough but she won at the end of the day because the fight was always in her favor. This fight on the other hand is not going her way.
She was the one attacking in her previous fight with a king while her opponent struggled to defend themselves. That fight ended quickly as most of her fight have. But Salvini is managing to defend and attack at the same time in this fight. Salvini's attacks are deadly too. Litori has to defend herself or get skewered with phantom weapons.
Litori produced a dry white clump in her hands. She sprinkled it into the air around her like dust. The white dust met the barrage of phantom spears and the mechanism of control over them. She wrestled control of the phantom spears from Salvini and then turned them against her. Now Salvini has to dodge her own phantom spears and the elusive spirit attacks from Litori. Litori took the opportunity while her enemy is distracted to spread her domain.
Salvini fell into a disadvantage really fast. Dodging Litori's attacks is enough of a problem already, adding her phantom attacks is just too much. The problem is that her phantom attacks being used against her are just a distraction. If she gives them her attention, it will open her up to Litori's spirit attacks.
