Chapter 49: Exposed
On the field, Yuka stood with a whip in hand, confronting Lory.
But waiting was not her style. After several seconds, Yuka was the first to raise her whip and swing it towards the opponent.
The tip of the long whip hooked onto Lory’s mechanical arm. Lory immediately raised his hand, grabbed the whip with his mechanical hand, and yanked it backward, trying to pull the pink mecha towards him.
At the moment of Lory’s exertion, Yuka’s lips curled into a smirk, and she casually released her grip.
Unexpectedly, her sudden letting go caused Lory to lose balance, falling backward heavily onto the sandy ground.
Fortunately, the soft sand cushioned the fall, and the mecha was not significantly damaged.
Seizing the opportunity, Yuka sprinted forward, transforming her left arm into a sharp sword, and thrust it at the blue mecha.
Lory rolled away, kicking out as he did so. Though his kicking missed, he narrowly avoided Yuka’s attack.
Roukujou sipped tea, "Dear audience, this battle is between the fifty-sixth and ninety-eighth ranked competitors. Pinky... Lady... let’s just stick with Pinky, shall we? It’s hard for Pinky to beat the blue mecha."
"I’ve seen the opponent’s previous fights. He’s also a close-range fighter, very fierce and decisive. His combat attacks are no less than Pinky’s," Roukujou observed. "But have you noticed? Since her return, Pinky seems to carry a more lethal intent in her movements."
Roukujou stroked his chin, "How to put it... she used to target her opponent’s mechanical arms or other parts to disable them before attacking the cockpit. But this time, every attack seems aimed at eliminating her opponent from the match."
