My Dragon System Chapter 108 - Stop the fight

Chapter 108 - Stop the fight

Monk was worrying even more after hearing the words come out from Ray's mouth. Monk trusted Ray ever since Ray had gotten him out of the situation with the minotaur.

"Martha please give up." Monk wanted to shout out these words but he knew what Martha was like and she wouldn't listen.

Martha still had one more trick up her sleeve that she wanted to try. She knew she was in a dangerous situation but didn't want to give up before trying everything she had.

Wilfred and Sir K were currently watching inside the arena. They were using Sir K's shadow skill to remain practically invisible to everyone. This included those in the audience, as well as the two contestants.

"Do you think you can stop the arrow in time?" Wilfred asked.

"If it's at that speed, it's not a problem. The problem is if that arrow was her full power or not." Sir K replied.

Wilfred wasn't able to use the shadow skill to hide himself like Sir K so he had to stay close. In this situation, it would have been ideal to have one of them cover Martha while the other Cherry.

Sir K looked towards Martha and could see she hadn't given up yet. He decided that until she did, only then would he stop the fight. If the arrow moved faster, he might not be able to stop it completely but he could definitely stop it from causing a fatal blow.

Finally, Martha had calmed herself down and was ready. She took a shot aiming straight for Cherry. Cherry took a shot back, this time adding in her Ki making her arrow completely destroy Martha's. The arrow carried on moving forward but when Cherry looked up, she noticed that Martha was no longer there.

Instead, another arrow was already coming at Cherry from the side. Cherry quickly shot another arrow to meet the one from the side.

"So that's your plan," Cherry said while smiling.

Ever since Ray had given Martha advice from the first round, she wanted to practice it straight away. Although Martha didn't have much time and she hadn't perfected the technique, it was the last thing she had left.

Every time Martha would take a shot, she would move in an instant taking another shot after. This would allow the archer to attack while constantly changing their position. The problem was it was extremely difficult for an archer to move while shooting and still be accurate.

Martha's concentration was at her maximum.

"Shoot and move, shoot and move," she mumbled to herself.

The arrows came out fast and from all sorts of different angles. Cherry wasn't able to keep up and shoot all the arrows down. Lucky for her, she didn't have too. Many of the arrows were simply off target, either going above her head or even falling short hitting the ground.

As another arrow shot by Martha landed by Cherry's feet. Cherry bent down to pick up the arrow.

"It's a good idea, it's just a shame you don't have the power or accuracy to use it properly."

Cherry put the arrow from the floor into her bow and started to gather her Ki. It was a lot bigger and stronger than the time before.

Martha then used her quick draw skill while moving causing three arrows to fire nearly at the same time but in three different directions.

The audience watching thought Cherry was done for but for some reason, Cherry remained calm while pulling back at her bow just aiming at one of the arrows.

Watching from the side lines, Ray could see how much Ki was being put into the arrow with his dragon eyes.

"Sir K, stop her now!" Ray shouted.

But the crowd at this point were cheering too loud for the master knights to hear anything.

Cherry fired her arrow with all her Ki. It was a one-shot skill that used up every bit of energy she had. If this didn't work then she knew she would lose.

As the arrow left Cherry's bow, it seemed to spin like crazy. As the arrow moved forward, the wind around it was being sucked in causing a mini-tornado.

The arrows that were coming at Cherry from different directions got sucked in by her arrow. It was now moving so fast that Martha had no way of dodging it.

Sir K and Wilfred moved as soon as possible to stop the arrow but there was no way they would get to it in time.

They both infused Ki into their weapons and shot out a blast of sword Ki energy hoping it would stop the arrow.

As the Ki energy hit the arrow, the power weakened and the tornado that went with it was no longer but the arrow still had great strength and carried on moving forward.

Martha closed her eyes as she knew there was nothing she could do but take the arrow head-on.

*Clunk

The sound of the arrow piercing through armour and into the body was heard.

Strangely though, Martha could feel no pain. How was that possible though she thought? Had she pa.s.sed on to the other side? Or perhaps it was the adrenaline in her body blocking the pain.

"Someone call a doctor here as soon as possible and make it quick!" Wilfred shouted.

"Ah, so I did get hit by the arrow," Martha thought to herself.

"If we hurry, we can still save the boy."

"Boy?"

Martha then opened her eyes and noticed that there was no arrow in her. Nothing, not even a scratch on her. As she scanned around the arena to look for what happened, she noticed Sir K and Wilfred were knelt down in front of her.

Not only that but there was a boy in black armour on the ground. Martha rushed over to the master knights dreading for the worst.

As she looked down it was someone that she cared for dearly…it was Monk.

While Cherry was gathering Ki in her arrow, as soon as Ray shouted for the master knights to take action, Monk moved in immediately. Using his black sash footwork, running as hard and as fast as he had ever done before, Monk managed to make it just in time to stop the arrow.

He took the blow with his body, instead of Martha.

"Monk please don't die!" Martha cried out as she knelt by his side and looked at his pale face.
