Tower of God: The Flower of Earth (Slow Updates)

Chapter Twenty-Two

Noe and Dustin got ready for the fisherman test.

"So how bad do you think it'll be?" Dustin gave a joking smile to Noe, knowing that two Jahad princesses were going to be there and the fact that chaos would most likely break out.

"I'm sure a Khun would grab the attention of two Jahad Princesses though. A child of the big ten is a big deal. You'll learn that as we climb up the tower." She sighed.

"I know. It's going to be ok." He put a firm hand on her shoulder with a smile.

Noe gave a weak smile, and turned to the test instructor. Pap stood there, a thin Needle on her shoulder. "This is all the fishermen? The twelve of you?"

"Yes Miss Pap." One nodded.

"Well, this should be fun." She grinned, as the floor began to shift, leaving tall posts as they were separated. Noe wobbled on the bamboo thin post, trying to keep her balance.

"The last eight standing, get a twenty point advantage for their team for passing the final exam. Last four get fifty, and the last one standing gets a hundred point advantage. No foul play, I looking at you princesses. I want a clean and fair fight. No deaths tonight. You may begin." Pap explained before glitching away.

Noe looked at Dustin, who nodded. They would have to work together, but they would also have to stay away from the princesses as long as they could.

Noe used her whip, Ghostwalker, to grab onto a floating bar, and swing to a post near Dustin, so they both could be ready to attack anyone that comes near.

Dustin lead they way as they hopped from post to post, heading towards a fisherman that looked like he was going to fall. Noe pulled the pole out from under him, bringing them one closer to eight.

"Noe! Watch out!" Dustin blocked a blow from one of the princesses, wobbling as he tried to keep his balance on the post. Ironwood was blocking a red needle with a curved edge, as the lizard princess grinned.

Noe looked at the one with short brown hair and dodged the blow the girl tried to attack her with, jumping to another bamboo staff as the one she was on had split in half.

Her whip lit up with lightning, as she got ready to attack if needed. She spotted a fisherman nearby coming up behind her, and used her whip to grab her, before throwing the girl towards the princess, eliminating the girl, but missing the princess by far. Her eyes widened as the princess grabbed the whip and swung Noe around, before the Khun suddenly made the whip shorten as she came flying towards the princess, kicking her in the gut and sending her flying.

The two of them landed on beams away from each other, both panting, trying to regain their breath.

"I can't keep this up if that girl attacks again. She is way stronger than me." Noe mumbled.

She turned her eyes to look at Dustin, whose eyes were glowing a bright yellow as thin yellow lines were on his dark arms.

The princess looked dizzy but was still fighting as the small sphere around them warped her vision.

"Dustin has himself... But I need to find a way to eliminate that princess, or at least eliminate two more so I get in the last eight... And so that Dustin does." Noe knew that our team needed the points. "So do I go eliminate other fishermen? Or do I just attack her? Or evade her? You would know what to do Jarrett..." She sighed, and nodded, going to attack the other fishermen and dodge the princess for now.

She yanked poles out from under the fishmen, taking it down from nine to six.

"Two more to go, then the princesses." She mumbled, feeling that if it was her and Dustin left, she would be able to let him win.
