Chapter 87
Jousting matches are highly acclaimed by the crowds due to their spectacle and excitement.
It is a battle of momentum fought atop horseback.
In particular, the jousting matches displayed by knights were no less than a work of art.
Because of their popularity, gambling was rampant as well.
The rules of the match were simple.
Hitting the torso or breaking the opponent’s lance earned 1 point.
Striking the opponent’s helmet earned 2 points, and unhorsing the opponent earned 3 points.
The first to reach 10 points would be the winner.
And now, the crowd stood agape, completely mesmerized by the jousting match between Khal and Deses.
BOOM!
Inside the arena, red and white Mana entangled, pushing against one another.
The shockwaves were powerful enough to affect even the spectators.
Zing!
Exposed to their Mana, the audience felt a stinging pain on their skin.
However, they soon forgot the pain entirely.
It was because the jousting match between Khal and Deses was at a level that transcended imagination.
While the frantic sound of horse hooves echoed across the ground, when they looked up at the match, they saw flashes of white and red light twisting together, stretching and shrinking like rubber bands.
Khal’s lance shot out like lightning toward Deses’s head.
CLANG!
Not to be outdone, Deses narrowly parried with the end of his handle and quickly turned his reins.
Slide.
CLACK!
In sync with the movement, Crudel’s hooves skidded across the ground, naturally securing a distance advantageous for Deses. There wasn’t a single wasted movement in Crudel’s actions.
