The Goddess Made A Mistake Again

On the desert somewhere else…

Arthur ducked the slash at his head by the examiner and jumped back. He looked ahead at the examiner that was determined to kill him because of his noble outlook and asked once again, "You don't have to do this. We can just stop and go on our paths."

The examiner laughed sarcastically, "Hahaha… let you go, are you kidding me? Do you know how much your worth in the black market? Fifty thousand pounds brat!"

"That is more than enough to make sure I live a satisfying life as I want. So no, I won't stop trying to kill you." He laughed cruelly, "The only way for you to survive is by killing me."

Arthur sighed. The man in front of him was the third examiner in his group. The other two had already been back stabbed by the guy so that he could kill Arthur.

"Since you won't stop this, I will show you the courtesy of using my full strength against you."

"Full strength? Are you telling me, you still haven't tried your best against me?" The examiner asked doubtfully before shaking his head and smiling, "Don't lie to me boy, I know that's just your last tactic to survive."

"Why don't you do both of us a favor and just stop trying… I would give you a quick, painless death in exchange for that." The examiner said but Arthur didn't listen.

He bent his right leg a little and turned his sword inside his scabbard. Then he closed his eyes and waited. The examiner on the other hand, didn't understand why he would close his eyes in the middle of a fight.

Then the examiner's eyes turned narrow as if realizing Arthur's new tactic.

"You think closing your eyes and donning a fight style would save you? Don't be idiotic." The examiner moved a few steps forward, "It won't do anything other than deny the inevitabl-… huh?"

At one moment, Arthur was standing in front of him, closed eyes and sword in his scabbard. Then the next moment, he was gone. He saw Arthur's figure flicker for a moment before vanishing in thin air.

'Where did he g-'

His thoughts were interrupted as his stomach cut open and half of his upper body fell to the ground, facing the back. That's when the examiner saw, his cut lower half of the body and Arthur, who's back was facing him as his sword dripped blood.

"Ahh… so that's how it is." The examiner said, drawing his final breath and closing his eyes, forever.

Arthur whipped his sword in front of him, spraying the blood away before putting it back on the scabbard. He looked back at the examiner's body with zero regret, "I told you this would have ended like this… but all you fools don't listen."

Arthur was about to walk away and find another examiner who wasn't an ass like this guy and retake the exam but stopped.

"Cough Cough!"

He turned towards the coughing and saw that it was one of the examiner that had been stabbed in the back and rushed towards him.

"Are you okay!?"

The examiner somewhat conscious, looked at Arthur and said, "You're still alive, huh?" Then turning around, he saw the dead body of the guy who back-stabbed him, "…Serves the fucker righ- Cough Cough." The examiner couldn't continue as his mouth vomited blood.

Arthur helped him stand to his knees, "Don't talk! Let me take you to a doctor! Do you know a place close enough that could help you?"

Arthur asked seeing that they were surrounded by a long desert that he wasn't much familiar of.

The examiner shook his head, "It won't work. The damage was too deep, do me a favor and find some water."

Adhering to his request, Arthur looked around the place for water before finding it and bringing it to the guy. But when he came, the guy had already died.

Arthur turned sorrow at that. He couldn't help but look angrily at the examiner that did this. Then his eyes spotted a silver medallion. Taking it, he realized what it was.

"The Examiners Medallion!"

This was a medallion that was used by the examiners to show their authority at desperate or cautionary moments. It was also something that Arthur could use to show his innocence and pass the exam.

But as he clenched the item in his hands, Arthur didn't one bit feel satisfaction from it. Instead he felt, anger… anger at the examiner, this kingdom and most of all his new stepmother… the one that was the cause for it all.

"I swear to all gods that are watching… I Will Kill You Abigail!"

With that, he closed the eyes of the dead examiner and as he was readying to left the place, he heard something. Looking at a certain direction, He saw sparks and clashing sounds of a intense fight.

'I'm not the only one who's having a bad day, huh.'

…

On another side of the desert…

I dodged another stab at my neck before parrying the slash she was going with and retaliated back with a slash at her arm. But right before it could hit, her figure flashed in white light before she stood far back at the desert from where she was.

Continuing the fight once more, she sped towards me with unseen speed. Within a moment, Marva was in front of me, sword ready to stab, which I blocked as I used my special sword like a shield.

Her attacks couldn't penetrate against the hardiness of my sword. Then I waited for a second before finding the small space her body opened in its defenses and went for it. Enjoy more content from My Virtual Library Empire

I went out of the safety of my sword and even as her sword came for me, I didn't stop. I clenched my right hand and punched hard towards her stomach as she stabbed me in the same place.

But instead of us having the same sort of damage, her attack did almost nothing other then puncture a hole inside me. While my attack flew her like a ragdoll and hit the sand like a cannon ball.

Marva slowly got up, groaning as the pain in her stomach made her twitch in agony. But like many times before, a light fell from the skies and healed her grave injuries to almost nothing.

This was how the fight was progressing. She would stab me and try to kill me relentlessly while I looked for a weakness and went for it. Then without even a word, she would use her Sigmat to heal the injuries that I made on her.

But I could see that it was running to its last effects. Her damage wasn't fully healing anymore. She could only go on so much.

'I need to keep fighting!'

We fought on again, resuming the intensity of our battle and soughing chaos at the field. Anything that came into the vicinity of our battle either felt scared shitless and ran or died under one of our attacks.

As time went on and a disheveled look appeared on her, I smiled.

Seeing that her eyes lost focus for a second, I grabbed the opportunity by grabbing her. I kneed her in the stomach before slamming her head down at the sand breaking its pattern and grabbing hold of her grounded state.

I laughed in her face, "Well then… after all this time, the blitz Valkyrie finally lost huh."

But instead of struggling or cursing me, she smiled. She gave an honest smile whilst saying, "You're right, I lost so what now?"

"What now?" I felt lost at that, "Well… I think you should pass me then, right?" I asked seeing the deadpan look she gave me.

"Men… sometimes you guys are truly helpless." She sighed before my confused face turned to shock as she kissed me.
