Chapter 125 Royal Selection VII: Aoi's Win.

On a remote island surrounded by water, a battle was being fought. People were watching through a magic screen hovering above a stadium, eager to witness the clash between three skilled fighters.

Each contender was fighting to win but also to impress their father's who will be watching with anticipation of their victories.

The first fighter was a female vampire named Aoi, a sadistic and strong woman who enjoyed fighting and making her opponents suffer. She had mastery in ice magic, light magic, and copy magic. Her ability to counter attacks made her a formidable foe.

Standing across from Aoi was Stormer, a werewolf with superhuman strength and wielding a sword capable of cutting anything. He had respect for women but would do anything to win. Stormer's father's name was Simvic, who was the head of the farming division of Nervek.

The last opponent was Rupa, who was only super fast and had no background.

As the three fighters prepared to face off against each other, the audience watched in awe, eagerly anticipating the clash that was about to take place. The stakes were high, with each fighter putting everything on the line to prove their worth.

Aoi was the first to make a move, charging toward Rupa with lightning-fast speed. Rupa, who was known for his superhuman speed, was caught off guard by Aoi's sudden attack, but managed to dodge her blow just in time.

As Rupa evaded Aoi's attack, Stormer made his move, swinging his sword toward Aoi's neck. Aoi quickly countered with a blast of ice magic, deflecting Stormer's sword and sending him staggering backward.

Rupa saw his opportunity and lunged toward Aoi, his speed allowing him to move faster than the vampire could react. Aoi was forced to use her copy magic to create a duplicate of herself, confusing Rupa and allowing her to land a powerful blow.

As the two fighters clashed, the audience watched in awe as the battle raged on. Aoi and Rupa were evenly matched, with each fighter using their unique abilities to gain the upper hand.

Stormer watched from the sidelines, biding his time and waiting for the perfect moment to make his move. He knew he had to be careful, as Aoi's ice magic and Rupa's speed made them formidable opponents.

As the battle continued, Aoi and Rupa exchanged blow after blow, each one more powerful than the last. Aoi was starting to tire, her magic draining her energy with each blast.

Rupa saw his opportunity and lunged towards Aoi once again, but this time he was prepared. He landed a powerful blow, sending Aoi flying backwards and crashing into the ground.

Stormer saw his chance and charged towards Rupa, his sword raised high. Rupa was caught off guard, his superhuman speed not enough to evade Stormer's attack.

With a powerful swing of his sword, Stormer landed a blow that sent Rupa flying across the arena, unconscious.

As Aoi struggled to get back to her feet, she saw Stormer looming over her, his sword raised and ready to strike. She knew she had to act fast if she wanted to survive.

With a flick of her wrist, Aoi conjured a copy of herself, confusing Stormer and giving her an opening to strike. She landed a powerful blow, sending Stormer flying across the arena.

As Stormer struggled to get back to his feet, he looked up at the hovering magic screen and saw his father, Simvic, watching. He knew he couldn't lose, not with his father watching.

He charged towards Aoi again, his sword glinting in the sunlight. Aoi countered with a barrage of ice and light magic, but Stormer's strength proved too much for her. He landed a powerful blow, sending her flying across the arena.

Aoi struggled to get back to her feet, but she refused to give up. With a determined look in her eyes, she conjured a blizzard of ice around Stormer, freezing him in place. She followed up with a blast of light magic, shattering the ice and sending Stormer flying backwards once again.

The audience cheered as Aoi emerged victorious. She looked down at Stormer, feeling a twinge of sadness for him.

"I'm sorry it had to end this way," Aoi said softly. "But it was either you or me."

With that, Aoi turned and left the arena, leaving Stormer to nurse his wounds and contemplate his defeat. But as he lay there, he couldn't help but feel a sense of respect for the female vampire who had defeated him.

"I can't believe a woman can defeat me." Stormer uttered in shame as he laid on the ground.

"You put up a good fight, but not enough to defeat me. Sadly, maybe one day you'll find a woman that you can suppress." Aoi replied before she walked away.

A portal that led back to the stadium showed up in front of her and with a deep breath; She walked through, only to meet 7 more contenders standing outside on the stadium.

Three vampires, two wolves, and two ghosts, each having a tiring look on their faces which indicated that they had just finished fighting.

But none of them caught Aoi's attention, she looked around her as she was desperately looking for a particular person.

'Where's he?' Aoi thought to herself, looking at the floating screens in the sky one by one till she found who she was looking for.

"There you are." Aoi smiled, looking at the screen where Sato was battling with Sanjo in a very intense match.

Every vampire in the stadium was cheering for their favorite contender but only the forever knight, who knew what Sato did to save them when Gudan and Puma ambushed them, prayed for Sato's victory.

With seven participants, although done with the first stage, they waited for the remaining 13 to finish so they could move to the next stage.

The next stage that would determine who would qualify for the final, one vampire, one werewolf, and one ghost will come out as the winner and next council members of Nervek.
