Chapter 159: Chapter 47: Competition and the Crisis of Kalawariekli
At this moment, the National Arena was packed with spectators. A familiar voice resounded throughout the arena!
"Welcome to the Kazimierz National Arena! Welcome to the Kazimierz Major! I am your old friend, Big Mouth Mob!"
"After a long preliminaries, the Kazimierz Major which all of Kazimierz has been looking forward to will usher in its first showdown today!"
"Duel, racing, fancy competition—three categories, eight events, forty-three small events—honor, wealth, countless Knightclub and Knightclub determined to win medals!"
"Oh!"
As Big Mouth Mob's voice fell, the atmosphere in the arena quickly heated up, and there was a lively cheer.
...
However, the excitement and energy outside the arena did not reach Bianka, who was still in the preparation area. She had just asked the staff to help her install the sensor device and now frowned, with an ugly expression.
The reason for this was that at the moment Big Mouth Mob's voice sounded, the system voice also chimed in, releasing the first quest since Durandal took on the continuous quest branch.
[Ding—Trigger a random continuous quest. In the next hour, protect the safety of Kalawariekli and its people.]
[Note: After one hour, the crisis will be automatically resolved, and the final reward will be calculated based on the results (no penalty for failure).]
"..."
This sudden quest made Bianka's previously calm heart a little uneasy.
Although the system did not explain in detail what the crisis was, based on the content of the quest, Durandal felt that if she did not intervene, this crisis would most likely destroy Kalawariekli. Even if it could not be completely destroyed, it would cause great damage.
In this case, even if there was no reward or punishment, Bianka would never stand idly by and do nothing!
"Huh..."
Bianka exhaled lightly, listened to the discussions of the other "selves" in her heart, and began to calm down. After all, the greater the crisis, the calmer one should be.
Besides, the system had said a long time ago that the difficulty of the quest would not be something she could not complete. If the crisis was too great, at worst, she could just pull others in to resist it together.
Thinking of this, Durandal's somewhat nervous mood was relieved a little.
Of course, she did not relax completely—after all, who knew when and in what form the crisis would suddenly appear?
However, Bianka was in no mood to play this game. She planned to finish it as quickly as possible and then devote herself to resisting this crisis.
During her game, everything around her was temporarily left to Sakura to monitor and explore.
——————————————————
In the National Arena, Big Mouth Mob's voice continued to ring, reaching the ears of every audience member present.
"Eight Grand Knightclub, sixty-four Knights, gathered at the Special Championship today! The Kazimierz Major will showcase the beauty and style of Knights to all of Terra!"
"Today's first game will be a duel between the Bladehelm Knightclub and the Immortal Blade Knightclub! This time, it is still a one-on-many match for Knight Bianka! I wonder what kind of exciting game the seven Knightclubs can bring us this time!!!"
...
"Which Knightclub will win the most trophies? Which knight will stand out from the duel and become the Grand Knight of this Major? Let's wait and see!!!"
As Big Mouth Mob finished speaking, a total of seven Knightclubs from both sides slowly walked into the huge arena from the entrances on both sides, exposed to the eyes of many spectators.
"..."
After entering the arena, Bianka silently glanced at her opponents, then retracted her sight and observed the surroundings to see if there was anything unusual.
After all, compared to this game that was like a joke, the crisis in the system quest made Durandal more nervous and tense.
"Hmph—"
Noticing Bianka's inattention, a knight of the Bladehelm Knightclub snorted coldly. Without any warning, he attacked directly, throwing the spear with Originium Arts in his hand towards her.
"Oh! A knight couldn't help but take the lead before the game started, but is this a violation?!"
"Ding, boom—"
Bianka's expression did not change at all in response to this sudden attack. With a simple swipe of her spear, she easily blocked the opponent's knight's attack, which was terrifying in momentum and power, and also knocked the thrown spear away.
"Knight Bianka easily blocked the opponent's terrifying attack! Too strong! The game officially begins—!"
"Boom—"
As the match started with Big Mouth Mob's announcement, Bianka, wearing heavy armor, exerted force directly on her feet and blasted at the enemy like a cannonball.
After all, this time was different from usual; it was a real must-win battle.
"What—!"
Looking at Bianka who appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye, the knight's pupils shrank slightly. He had no choice but to pick up his shield to resist.
However, his ending was no different from other Knights who faced Bianka before...
The shield was instantly shattered by a shot, and the knight was blasted out by the power attached to it.
"Oh my God! It's like this again, with just one shot, Bianka, a knight with both beauty and strength, cleanly defeated an opponent!!!"
"Oh, Bianka!"
As Bianka's wonderful shot echoed through the arena, Big Mouth Mob's commentary sounded again, followed by the thunderous and excited cheers of the audience and fans.
Just when Bianka had already attacked the next opponent, intending to eliminate him as well, Sakura's somewhat hurried voice suddenly came to her mind.
'Bianka! In the sky!'
Sakura's sudden reminder made Bianka pause slightly, but she did not stop even though her opponent was already close at hand. After defeating her opponent with one punch, she quickly turned back to look at the sky.
"!"
After seeing the situation in the sky clearly, Bianka's blue eyes shrank slightly, and a hint of surprise appeared on her serious face.
