"Shit!" a hiss escaped my lips.
I felt a warm, steely hand that held my arm, getting my attention. Napabaling ako sa kanya. Seryoso lamang siyang nakatitig sa akin. Kinunot ko ang aking noo at inalis ang kanyang pagkakahawak sa akin.
Schmidt's Wolfsburg has no game today, kahapon ang huling laban ng team at naipanalo iyon. Pero dahil may laro ngayon ang Arachnidos, pinaunlakan ako ni Veyron Sinclair na manood. Kasama rin ang halos buong team, they said they wanted to see how the other opponents' fight.. and also to get data. That's why we are all now here occupying the second rows of the seat.
The crowd uproared and my attention snapped back to the stage. Halos mabitin sa aking lalamunan ang paglunok nang makita kong dumaloy ang masaganang dugo mula sa braso ni Thor, pababa sa kamay at mismong sa sahig ng stage.
"You look constipated, Lioness." Veyron Sinclair uttered with amusement in his tone.
"Shut up," malamig kong sagot.
My crossed arms were tightened. This Lombardi team was really good. Their players are exceptionally skilled and top-tier. Kaya ngayon abot-abot na ang aking kaba dahil sila ang katapat ng Arachnidos.
Thor, my cousin is bleeding at the moment while brawling. At apektado ako kahit hindi naman ako ang lumalaban.
Nasa pangalawang linggo na ang palaro at ito na rin ang pangalawang laban. Arachnidos won the first game without a sweat, same as the Schmidt and La Nostras' team. And winning this one means securing a spot for quarters. At kahit hindi pa naman finals, it feels like we're competing for it..
Masyadong magagaling at mararahas ang bawat manlalaro sa 'Die Schwarzen Spiele'.
The man in the mask advanced and Thor matched his attack. But the masked man smiled evilly as he caught him by surprise and threw him outside the stage.
I silently gasped as Thor was almost thrown out for like a hundred meters far. Nanliit ang aking mga mata, what is this man? A steroid devil?
Almost the entire dome, like Hayes and Storm cursed loudly at what happened. Narinig ko rin ang pagtawag ni Jasmin kay Thor. But my cousin eagerly pushed himself up, slowly and drunkenly walked back to the fight.
Napalunok naman ako ng marahan ng maglabas ng malaki at mahabang espada ang kalaban nito. My knees started shaking unctrollably. "Thor! Watch out!" hindi ko na napigilan ang pag komento.
The masked man lunged at him and my cousin barely escaped him. Damn it! He can only manage to do that coz his own sword was a bit far from him. Tumilapon iyon kanina sa kung saan at tiyak kong maduduguan siyang muli bago pa niya iyon mabawi.
And when the maskman's sword pierced his left leg, tuluyan na akong napatayo sa aking upuan. I was about to call Jasmin and ask her to throw the white hanky. Iyon lamang ang makakapag patigil sa laban. The officials are watching the whole scene and in between glancing at Jasmine's direction who could cease the game.
Pero nanatili lamang si Jasmin sa panonood. Alam kong nagkausap ang lahat sa kung hanggang saan ang limitasyon ng bawat isa. At nakausap ko rin si Storm at Hayes tungkol dito. No one, as in no one's allowed in Arachnidos to sacrifice themselves. Mahigpit kong ibinilin na hindi na nila kailangan pang umabot sa ganoon, participating in this game is enough.
The cheering of the audience is deafening, parang mga halang ang kaluluwa lang habang nagchicheer sa mga pangyayari. Look how twisted their thinking is! Normal people wouldn't consider killing and dying as something to celebrate! I learned that a long time ago.
I saw the masked man open his mouth and speak with Thor. On the other hand, my cousin smirked at him, spat on the ground, and uttered words before he launching himself.
