556 Clash Between Trump Cards
The arena is still wrapped in silence. The clash between the two is too high leveled, the audience can't catch up.
Malvas who quickly pulled himself together from the shock of getting blocked took the same stance once again.
"Not yet! I'm not done yet! Didn't think I'd have to resort to this! But I'll end it this time for sure!"
The challenger unleashed another Thunder Thrust. This changes nothing. Balgaranda took a slight step back to dodge.
But then the Thunder Thrust changed trajectory as if that was its aim all along. Malvas moved next to Balgaranda from his front. Then he thrust his spear.
Balgaranda instantaneously responded by blocking it with his shield while letting out 'Muuun!' sound.
The shield broke into pieces. That was some power. But Balgaranda's hand seemed unharmed, the champion paid no heed to his now unusable shield and leaped backward.
(No making yourself open by acting surprised in the middle of a combat. That's top-tier fighters for you.)
If it were me, I'd definitely go, 'M, my shield!'
Despite possessing this power, my mental is that of a wuss.
"Damn you! How did you dodge that! Fine, I won't give you any time to!"

The challenger kept changing his Thunder Thrusts' trajectory to corner the champion.
Meanwhile, the champion thoroughly dodged them all with the least amount of movements. He moves so lightly, it makes me wanna ask, 'How can such a big bodybuilder move delicately like that?'
As the audience gradually began to understand what kind of clash was happening in the ring, their rustle turned into a huge cheer.
The guide next to me is excitedly fist pumping while screaming 'Uwooooooo!'
The champion and me are likely the only calm people in this arena.
The champion himself has been lightly parrying all the strikes from the spear with his sword.
Then, just as the barrage of thrusts looked like they were too much for the champion to handle.
Malvas got behind Balgaranda. He mercilessly thrust his spear on Balgaranda's back.
There should be no dodging or blocking that.
The spear pierced in the champion's... not.
'CLINK!' a sound of metal clashing resounded.
Immediately after, Balgaranda spun around and hit Malvas with the dull flat side of his blade.
Malvas got blown about three meter away and fell down the ground. Having no strength left, he could only lift his chagrined face at Balgaranda.
Balgaranda has stopped in a pose of a baseball player who just hit a home run.
Yep, the spear did hit the champion's back. But it couldn't manage to pierce into his skin, and the champion counterattacked.
Balgaranda slowly straightened his pose and started talking.
"Well, I'll be. To think you managed to drive me into using my trump card. You were incredible. I'd love to have another match if opportunity arises."
Apparently it was his trump card that blocked the spear.
I could hazard a guess as to what that is.
(Something like Iron Body martial art? That was nothing more than a fiction in my previous world. Guess it does exist no problem in this world.)
I won't be surprised if mysterious powers like 'Ki' also exists here.
I mean magic does. Heck, there are probably magic that can harden your body. Like Ast*n.
"Victor! Balgarandaaaaaaaaaa!"
The announcer loudly announced the result of this match.
