Chapter 333: Second Round set Aflamed.

Holy eldritch water slime monster!

By Yeostars beard, it looks like the fight is starting out without any breaks! The merfolk bought out his secret weapon! A giant collection of water from the tank on his back!

Mana Eyes!

Serpentsapper urchin water

A sticky, gelatinous water created from a [Serpentsapper Urchin] from the depth coast around the sacred underlake of Lecullius. Used to capture evasive sea serpents, drawing them in for the urchins spines to pierce the lesser dragonkins scales. Weakens Vitality and Wisdom while within the water

Oh, you gotta be kidding me. Slime, but water slime! All buffs, on!

There we go! Another display of the Crimson Scales display of magic proficiency! Talk about

[Various Spell Buffs] inflicted on [Young Sunfang Dragon, Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor]

making normal mages envious there! And they just activated, fully enchanting herself in all those spells!

Idol! Call me Wait, hold on, didnt he call me Crimson Hair just a moment ago? Wait, hold on, hold on! He first called me Crimson Scaled when I got out of the rumble round, then Crimson-Haired during the first round of the bracket stage! This idiot! He cant remember the stupid nickname hes been givi Woah!

In honor of the Depth Goddess, I shall win!

The giant water ball Chahayat was swimming in suddenly formed a tentacle from the mucous water and tried to bash me with it, prompting my [Foresight] to warn me of the attack before I got caught. Seconds later, more tentacles began to form, making my nightmare of a water slime actually true!

Oh come on! Why cant this thing be as cute as Shoyi! I shouted, still finding slimes just yucky.

With my head back in the game, I pinpointed Chahayat swimming in his ball like a fish in an aquarium, before shooting out a dragon breath laser at him, intending to knock him out of his protective field. It wasnt a Territory, like Tehmrayns, so I should be able to bulldoze my way right through his tricks!

And, certainly, I did run my attack right through him. Mostly literally, as his amorphous water blob created a donut hole right where I shot my laser, avoiding it completely. When I tried to drag my laser towards his direction, the slime moved as well to nullify my attack.

With the ground smoked and burned, leaving behind a trail of my laser breath, the merfolk threw out his viking axe at me. Not sensing anything special from it, I deflected it with my glaive without stopping my breath attack. However, surprisingly, the axe didnt break from my attack, in fact, what was more of a shock was when the axe boomeranged right back at me.

Three more time I blocked, and every single time, the axe would continue trying to attack me. It was at this moment that I noticed how his weapon had a glowing rune glowing in the underside of his handle, only for my attention to turn back to the blob as its body quivered with Chahayats water tank suddenly letting out a current of bubbles, accelerating his swimming speed.

What the I closed my mouth as I saw the blob transformed into something like a maw, trying to bite at me. I flapped my wings, flying away from the attack, only for Chahayat to shoot out of the water like a flying fish. With spear in hand and his axe still tracking me like a heat-seeking rocket, I clicked my tongue.

Water from his tank surrounded his spear, helping it grow in size I used [Spark Crescent] to meet his attack. Water and fire clashed against each other, exploding in a cloud of steam as metal echoed inside the arena. I launched him further into the air before I used my flaming tail to cut off his incoming axes head from his handle, finally laying the thing to rest on the ground.

Time to end it!

Sorry for the axe! I yelled my apology with a smirk, raising my head in the air. I was fully confident I could take him out right now since he was in the air only for a tentacle from his blob to fly out and grab him back. Huh?!

One of many spares. The aloof merfolk answered, before he swam through the tentacle like a kid riding down a waterslide.

Imagining him wanting to return to the blob, I shot out a [Banishment Beam], slicing off the tentacle from the body before shooting out multiple flame bullets towards the merfolk. With nowhere to go, he flew out of the tentacle with his diving tank propelling him forward, creating more of that gel water.

I shot out more bullets at him, only for him to show his ability to redirect his flying trajectory before another water tentacle caught him, retrieving him from the air.

There has to be a catalyst inside that tank! I figured out, seeing as he wasnt storing water in that scuba tank, but was using it with his catalyst like a rocket propellant. Not only could it probably increase his swimming speed but it even allowed him to fly, in a way.

And it was not only the tank alone, but the water that was granting him an extreme amount of maneuverability. When I suddenly spotted something larger in the corner of my eyes, I looked away from Chahayat, only to see the blob had grown. He was even sucking water from the arena itself!

Even more tentacles were created for the merfolk to use as transport tubes, while enough water was absorbed for it to create something that looked like a claw around the size of a two-floored house. And with this gigantic claw, it rose in the air and tried to smack me.

Deepsea Ebonys plan is starting to unravel! He bought enough time for him to grow his water blob to a size capable enough of creating that arm! Not even when it seemed like he could lose in the rumble round did he use this ace-in-the-hole! The reason, my flabbergasted audience, why this merfolk is also known as the bane of pirates is here!

I squinted my eyes before flapping my wings, releasing my scale-dust into the air. As the water hand was about to hit me, I snapped my fingers, detonating the veil of scale-dust around me in a massive explosion.

Consumed by fire, the water instantly turned into steam, spewing a cloud of it around me, blocking my vision and the audiences as the hand slowly disintegrated from the extreme heat. At the same time, I could see Chahayat springing forth from his waterpark slides with [Mana Eyes]. With his spear, he shot out a beam of water, reminiscent of Tehmrayns [Hydro Pump] spell, only this one seemed more like him gathering water to attack.

Thanks, Tehmrayn. Really gave me a chance to reflect on everything. Really made me dumb for not using this earlier.

I raised my hand out in his direction. A purple magic circle appeared before me.

Lightning Bolt.

Electric attacks beat water types. I really shouldnt have been brute forcing with fire alone.

And this showed when Chahayat had to abandon his spear when the lightning struck the water beam, coursing through and nearly zapping him. On the other hand, unlike using my fire attacks, I didnt exactly do any damage to the water itself, forcing me to dodge it. However, fully knowing this would happen, my eyes were trained on Chahayat as I [Wind Blast], [Dragoon Jump], and used my scale-dust to boost myself right in front of him.

Panzer!

Kraaak! With my purple armor cladding my body, I slammed my elbow right into his stomach, leaving a small crack where I hit him before he was shot towards the ground. Barely before he hit it, the blob of water caught up, allowing him back into the safety of his creation.

However, without letting this affect his assault, tentacles attempted to slam me from my blind spot. [Foresight] activated once again, allowing me to predict these attacks just a few seconds before they hit me, slicing them all with a flame strike from my glaive.

I then turned around, shooting multiple [Lightning Bolt]s at Chahayat, only for him to separate the slime up into different pieces to protect himself from the electrified areas. These pieces could join back, having noticed any tentacles I cut off being reabsorbed.

Separate! Terra Wall! Bedrock Blades!

Tall walls of earth and hardened rock blades surged out of the ground, separating the blobs like in a maze, making it harder for him to retrieve the mass of waters he lost. I then swirled my glaive, reloading it with the scale-dust in my wings.

Charging the catalyst embedded in my weapons tip, the flames grew even brighter before I began shooting cannonball-sized fire bullets at Chahayat, exploding the moment they landed. Expecting him to be trapped in my construction while I continued laying down artillery fire, beams of water then shot out from all the smoke, nearly hitting.

By Yeostars beard, this fight might not be exciting from the dragonesss viewpoint, but from all I can see from the merfolks, he seems to be in a dire situation! All the movements just to survive under this hail of flames and spells. The hectic nature of the situation is starting to make me want to cheer for him! Come on! We have an underdog here! Chahayat! Chahayat! CHAHAYAT!

Chahayat! Chahayat! Chahayat!

Win, Deepsea Ebony! Win!

Jeez, you dont need to tell me that! Urgh, why does this make me feel so bad? Damn you, announcer!

Still, this was all part of the battle. Being distraught right now wouldnt do me any good as I needed to win this. Not only to keep my promise to Jethro, but also to prove myself to Tehmrayn that I am worthy of being a Champion! He prepared me for this, and now I would repay his trust!

Levin Core!

A large purple magic circle materialized in the sky with a ball of lightning, and began shooting out lightning from above me to truly trap Chahayat in his small bubble. He kept shooting out water beams, but I took this more like a Hail mary a last-ditch effort.

There!

I kicked the air with [Dragoon Jump], aiming my glaive forward, and crashed right where Chahayat was about to swim towards. With the maze and rain of fire bullets, it became so easy to predict where he was going.

Uurrrgh! He flew out from his blob, reeling from my attack.

I ignited my scale-dust and used [Dragoon Jump] again, throwing myself back in the air where I landed a kick to his chest. With the air knocked out of his lungs, the merfolk shot to the ground from the force of my attack. Crash landing, sand and earth covered the area like a cloud. Once it slowly dissipated, I noticed the merfolk having stood up.

He stood up, everybody! The pirate hunter is not down yet, but even without using her weapon, he sent the hulk down like any other prey.

Kuek! He grabbed his chest. A dent with shattered pieces of metal could be seen where I kicked him. You could have ended me there, Princess. Defeat me if you have the chance. Any else would dishonor me!

As the fire burned everything on this island, a stream of light flew out of it and away from the arena. With that, my flames and everything inside this dungeon disappeared, returning me back to the normal arena grounds of this place.

AND WE HAVE A WINNER!

Quarter finals, here we go.

A note from AbyssRaven

They say Water beats fire. Well, I don't think Pokemon understood hot enough fire can defeat water.

Bio: Hey there, AbyssRaven here. I'm just an avid Light Novel and Fantasy story reader who randomly thought of a story and began writing about it.

I eventually found out that I've been spending a bit too much time with building, planning, and researching for the story, that I've decided to just share it with others.

Writing is mostly a hobby for me, but I would still love any kind of criticism to improve on it.

I'm also german, so please excuse anything that sounds a bit weird...I wouldn't mind you pointing it out though.
