Chapter 747 Osborne versus Selina part 4

Author: M_W Cancer

Proofreader: M_M Miss Fierce

Unbeknownst to Selina, her actions right now are precisely what Osborne wanted her to do. Since he is now stuck in one place, and regardless of how he redirected his footings to block her punches, he would still be stuck in the same place. Hence, it would slowly expand the hole around his feet until the time comes when it is finally big enough for him just simply to jump out of it. 

As time continued to pass, the streaks slowly merged, forming a hole underneath Osborne's feet. Though it wasn't big enough yet, but soon enough, it would become one. He just needs to be a bit more patient and not blow his cover. Otherwise, it would just be the same as his previous plan earlier ago.

"Oh, no! How did I not think of this!" Osborne acted like he was helpless, when in fact, things were developing in the way he wanted to.

"How unfortunate for you, Osborne. But you brought that all to yourself by using your other hand when you could have just continued sinking deeper and deeper until you are finally trapped!" Selina remarked with a mocking tone in her voice. She added, "Although it isn't yet too late for you to change that, but do you dare?"

"Do you think I am stupid or an idiot? How could my situation right now be any worst compared to getting myself trapped in the ground? By that time, let alone just punching me, you might just even start kicking my head!" Osborne objected.

"That would even be better! Come on, let's do exactly that! Stop using your other hand to hold your shield, and let me continue sinking you deeper and deeper to the ground!" Selina responded before letting out a delighted chuckle.

Meanwhile, Princess Tifa and Princess Tila could only look at Elmont, with shock written all over their faces. 

"Now you understand why I don't like fighting her," Elmont could only heave a sigh of pity at Osborne. Based on all of his previous fights with Selina in the past, she has always enjoyed having fun with her opponents, especially when they are in a miserable situation. But of course, there is a reason for that. According to her, she's making her opponent lose their composure so that they won't be able to think of anything aside from defeating her, regardless of what consequences there are. Because of that, they are bound to make reckless decisions, which she might or might not be able to use to her advantage and win the fight.

However, looking at the fight between Selina against Osborne, Elmont muttered under his breath, "But I am not quite certain if Selina's strategy would really work against Osborne. After all, the level of his intellect is superior compared to a lot of his kind, and he has already shown it on several previous occasions. If Osborne would actually fall for such a low-level trick, then that would be a great insult to the capabilities he had been displaying all this time,"

It was indeed just like what Elmont had expected. 

Currently, Osborne couldn't even care any less on why Selina kept on annoying him, only assuming it as her payback to him after he had insulted her before. The reason for such thoughts is because he already learned from Guild Leader Loki about just how troublesome women are if one dares to infuriate them. He constantly shows that women should be treated nicely by men. Otherwise, they would make men experience something even worse than hell. As such, Selina's behavior right now could be explained as her making him experience that. 

"Are you seriously going to remain passive until the very end, Osborne?! Come on, fight back! Be a man! Don't be a coward like what you are acting right now! Hiding behind a shield is what kids do, whereas you're an adult!" Selina didn't stop trying to annoy Osborne, intending to make him do something reckless to her. She is more than prepared already for whatever reckless move he would do to her. What she's only waiting for is for him to do that.

With a broad smile of confidence on his face, Osborne responded, "Sometimes, the best defense is a good offense!"

"Huh?" Selina doesn't quite understand what exactly Osborne meant with his words and the reason for his confidence.

"Look down to my feet," Osborne prompted Selina to see something surprising.

Hearing Osborne's words, Selina cautiously looked down to Osborne's feet. She quickly jumped to her rear in the next moment, creating a wide enough distance to dodge Osborne's counterattack.

"You…!"

"Surprise? Shocked? Disbelief?" Osborne carefully raised his feet, one at a time, and stepped out from the hole. He continued speaking, "Thanks to you relentlessly punching me in many different directions, I was able to slowly widen the streaks into a hole until it was wide enough for me just to take a step forward to get out from it. You better prepare now because I am going to be serious!"

Waving his hand, Osborne took out the sword that he had stored earlier ago, "Honestly, just to inform you, I was actually purposely doing all of those. Want to know why?"

"Was it because…" Selina already has some kind of assumption inside her mind right now about what is exactly going on. But before she could finish her line, Osborne immediately interrupted her.

"From the very beginning of our fight, my intention has always been to exhaust as much stamina and energy from you. After all, that is the only advantage you hold against me. So, I focused my attention on taking that away from you before doing anything else. Because if I don't, you'd be able to counter all of my attacks easily and rendering them useless. Like for example, the Earth Split spell that I have used against you earlier ago, intending to make you fall into a trap," Osborne paused as he took out another shield from his Storage Ring. This time, it was an even better shield compared to what he is already using, specifically a 5-Star level shield. 

Although the one that Osborne has been using until now wasn't that badly damaged by Selina's punches, thus he could still make use of it. But he is becoming serious right now. As such, the better the shield is, the more likely he could prepare for the majority of attacks that Selina could deal against him.

Suppose this was a reckless move coming from Osborne. In that case, Selina could no doubt easily handle it and not slightly lose her composure. However, this is clearly not a reckless move. Instead, it was her that had made countless of reckless actions from the start of their fight until now. To be more precise, based on what Osborne had just revealed to her, the more punches she threw to him, the deeper she fell to his trap… 

"Wait… Doesn't this mean that, after all this time, it was always her herself that was slowly sinking deeper and deeper? How ironic! So, what Osborne has always been doing was a clear representation of my current situation rather than his own," Selina muttered while smiling wryly. At this moment, she has consumed half of her stamina and energy. While Osborne, on the other hand, barely made a change to his. In other words, the gap had utterly turned the table around to his favor.

With this realization in mind, Selina decided to stop using her brain to think of a solution to her current problem and instead start using her fist and weapon to fight against Osborne. She exclaimed, "How infuriating! How dare you make a fool out of me!" 

After ending her line, Selina immediately lunged herself forward towards Osborne. This time, she is no longer using her fist to attack, but a sword! 

In Selina's mind right now, she thought, "Even if my chances of winning against you has decreased by a lot of levels, but I'll make sure that you will not have it easy even if I lose!"

Booooom!

A loud explosion echoed the moment Selina's sword made contact with Osborne's shield.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

Following that, a series of clanging sounds of Selina's sword hitting against Osborne's shield echoed.

"Even though I have the advantage in stamina and energy, it still doesn't change the fact that Selina has a lot of strength. Since that's the case, let's both use a sword!" Osborne decided inwardly. 

Putting strength on his arm, holding the sword, Osborne then waved it towards Selina.

Needless to say, Selina was long already prepared for Osborne to use his sword. To be more exact, she has already prepared herself for this after seeing him taking a sword out. Hence, she exerted even more strength to her arm, holding the sword before swinging it towards the direction of the incoming sword.

CLANGGGGG!

Selina easily parried against Osborne's sword as he didn't expect that she would suddenly exert even more strength than before.
