Chapter 33: Naomi vs Laurel
Nora got onto the stage as Naomi and Laurel were taking jabs at each other and took a cold breath when she heard Naomi's venomous tongue.
Laurel was so angry at Naomi that the crowd could see literal vein popping out of her forehead as she rushed Naomi taking out a bow and making a water arrow taking a shot at her before Nora even announced the start of the fight.
Naomi calmly dodged the arrow and took out her weapon which was a katana. A second arrow came quickly after the first but the accuracy was not that great so Naomi decided to slash it.
After the arrow was slashed she dashed at Laurel who created a water wall in front of Naomi to obscure her vision as she made some distance.
Even though Laurel was enraged at Naomi, she is cautious and does not like to fight head on preferring to sneak up on her opponents. So she uses her water affinity to block Naomi's vision.
As the fight was going on all four Sins were seated together talking about the fight.
"I like her. The Naomi girl I mean, she feels special. Do you know anything about her Elaine?" Nora asked.
"Why would I know anything?" Elaine said.
"Because you constantly went to this place from the palace and spent the whole week here." Andrea the Orange eyed Sin of Gluttony said.
Kara the Grey Sliver eyed Sin of Sloth agreed and just nodded her head not saying anything.
"Well I know a small amount about her since she is in the same dorm with my Nia." Elaine said.
'Who's Nia?' They all wondered who Elaine was talking about.
"Tell us what you know." Nora said and Elaine told them that she does not talk much and gets teased easily but that was the extent of her knowledge since it was only recently that Nia started opening up to Cassandra and Naomi.
"Well she is a great fighter considering she hasn't used her affinity in the fight yet." Kara pointed out after Elaine finished talking and the women looked at the fight to see that Naomi did not have a single scratch on her but Laurel had some shallow cuts on her arms and one large one one her torso but that cut did not even break her skin so she was not bleeding there.
"Well aren't you a tough one. Using your water to cover your skin for an increase in your defense. Too bad it makes you look bloated. Hahaha" Naomi mocked Laurel and she could only grit her teeth.
"Well maybe if you spent your time on training instead of stealing the prey of others you might actually hit me." Naomi continued to mock her opponent who was only getting more impatient.
Laurel couldn't listen to Naomi anymore or else she felt that she might actually die from increasing blood pressure. She rushed Naomi shooting an arrow at her.
Naomi dodged it and felt her instincts warn her when she saw the arrow turn towards her. The arrow when got close a small ball of water at the end of the arrow burst increasing its speed piercing her in the stomach.
Naomi fell to a knee as she pulled out the arrow and got hit with two more arrows in her shoulder. Laurel started getting more confident and kept shooting Naomi.
The two arrows in her shoulder were made of water and Laurel controlled them to cover Naomi's head suffocating her. Naomi tried to pull the water away but was unable to. The water was forcing itself into her nostrils mouth filling Naomi's lungs, her eyes red looking like they are about to fall out.
As Naomi was struggling Laurel was constantly mocking her, "Is that all you got? It seems that all that talk about me stealing your prey made you think that you were some top dog or something, but you were all bark and no bite."
*Pierce*
Laurel shot some more arrows at Naomi pinning her to the ground. She approached Naomi filled with confidence knowing that her opponent was on her last legs.
*Stab*
*Cough*
Blood was pouring out her mouth as her vision blurred. Life was leaving her eyes. Shock covered her face as Laurel as she coughed more blood up. That's right it wasn't Naomi that was hurt but Laurel was. The body of a drowning Naomi faded as the real one appeared behind Laurel holding the katana that was still impaled into her chest.
"H-how?" Laurel could only muster enough strength to ask in a quiet tone.
Naomi leaned in and whispered to her, "My affinity is Illusion. Unfortunately it's still too weak and I am only capable of using mental Illusions and not physical ones for now. So to everyone else you were just standing still in a daze as I came closer and stabbed you."
