Chapter 768 - 768 Tiger Versus Wolf

768 Tiger Versus Wolf

“...And now what? We can’t really fight until the barrier is broken. I can break it with my strength. But are there other things you want to ask him? If not, let the fight begin,” I asked Albert.

Even if the weretiger doesn’t know what else he can say, there’s still time until the barrier I made to be broken. I’m quite strong after all. And I used quite a lot of Aura thinking that the weretiger can break it if it’s any weaker than it is now.

“Then I’ll ask some more questions. Do you remember where your previous village was? And how long ago was it when you got tamed and asked your fellow weretiger to run away? Were you also the strongest weretiger in your tribe?”

Albert asked several questions at once. And they’re not related to the cult at all.

“Oh, and answer everything as fast as possible. We don’t know if your master will notice that you’re being interrogated and he will order you to tell lies. And to make it quick, I will tell you that if you’re alive by the time the match is over, I’ll bring you back to the magicless area where you can wait there without obeying anyone’s order until I kill your master. I will even have someone bring you food so you don’t need to go out of there,” I said.

The weretiger said that he was out of the magicless area today because he found the agents. He was told that it was his job to kill anyone suspicious.

And that order actually forced him to fight the master level mages. But he said that he saw them before he was tamed and knows that those mages were training to get themselves stronger, so he wasn’t suspicious of them at all. And that’s why he never fight them even when he knew that they are in the magicless area.

If I could get one of them to bring food for him, he won’t attack and he also doesn’t need to leave there to look for food.

The weretiger then answered everything quickly and honestly.

.....

“Do you remember where I started detected your presence? My village was close to that place. I think it has been so long since I got myself tamed. But it’s still less than a hundred years ago. And yeah, I was the strongest in my tribe. So if my master told me to kill them, they can’t fight back,” the weretiger said.

I guess he’s afraid to be forced to kill his own kind. Though maybe like the werewolves, if he needs to fight, it should be by mutual consent. To see who is the stronger one. Instead of being forced for it.

“Then about the agents. Why did you let him live in the end? He didn’t die and we ended up here because of it,” Albert asked.

“I thought he’s already dead. He was too weak and his breath was too faint. And I have no interest in weaklings,” he said.

After that, Albert asked him more about himself and about weretigers in general. And finally, it’s time for the barrier to be down.

“It should be time. You can stop banging on the barrier since it will be down soon. I guess you can’t since this is your master’s order. Well, because this is my familiar’s wish to fight you, have a good fight. I’ll return you back to the magicless area once the fight is over,” I said.

Then I brought Albert back to his place. There’s no need for him to watch the fight.

“Graham, heal him and recover his stamina once the barrier is down. I want a fair fight myself,” Shelia said to Graham.

“Hah! I like you, Wolf Girl! Let’s have a good fight!” the weretiger said.

Graham just sighed and waited for the barrier to be down. Shelia is in front of him just in case the weretiger is trying to attack Graham instead. But the weretiger said that she doesn’t need to be concerned about it.

When the barrier breaks, the weretiger instantly rushed toward Shelia. And Graham acccuratelly cast healing magic and stamina recovery magic on him before leaving the stage.

The wolf and the tiger are facing each other. And I just want to return back to the mission. But I can’t since the weretiger could be useful for us.

If I could kill his master, he might even join us. And then we can look for where the rest of his tribe are and get them to join us.

If we offer them a fight against the werewolves, they might be interested to join us. And if we added their anger toward the cult since the cult tamed their strongest werewolf, they will be even more interested to join.

Imagine werewolves, angels, vampires, and weretigers fighting together. No matter how big their army of monsters that they worked so hard to tame are, there’s no way they could win against us then.

Well, the weretigers are just possibility. Even if we help them, they might not want to join us in the end.

Oh, the weretiger can also run in the air. The way he fight is similar to how a werewolf fight. But he’s stronger physically and is more flexible. Shelia’s attack didn’t hurt him much except for her slash.

And the weretiger also have self-regeneration ability. Is every race with were at the front of their name like that? Maybe I should look for more of were-something race to help me fight the cult in the future.

The weretiger is better at everything. From the speed, power, and even punching speed, kicking speed, slashing with claws, and transformation, he was better than Shelia.

His tiger transformation is bigger, but it didn’t cost him his speed. Instead, he became faster. Now I know why the cat-man chose a cat as his transformation. Maybe because he met one before.

The only thing that made the fight equal so far was because of experience. Shelia has more experience in fighting than the weretiger. Including losing a fight many times even if they were just a spar.

Using her experience, she dodged the weretiger’s attack and try to counter. But her counter attack kept being blocked or dodged by the weretiger just by his own physical strength.

And they both looked really happy right now.

They both got to fight someone strong. And the weretiger also can forget about everything else including how he’s just a contracted monster and focus on his fight.

And the audience is cheering for both of them. Why not just Shelia? They are mostly werewolves though.

“...It’s like watching two mythical beasts fighting,” Victoria commented.

Mythical beast, huh? Is such creature exist? Well, the abyss horse, Ray, might be one of them. After all, one can only see it at their death. Unless they have died and somehow got revived like me. Though in my case, time also got rewound.

...It’s been two hours since the fight started. Can I just go home now?

Even Albert has contacted me many times asking me who won. But it still hasn’t ended!

Sonia who is no longer busy moving around thanks to the creation of phone is also here watching the fight. She is so free now.

I like to rest, but one of them might die if I look away. So I can only watch it.

Next time, how about I destroy the Colosseum?

But I can see that the werewolves will rebel. They will no longer respect me as their king.

I might have stopped them from having another deathmatch. That tradition is bad for them after all. But if I stopped them from enjoying a fight, I will lose their respect. And I will no longer have an army of werewolves I can order around.

They will probably still fight if I offer them a fight, but they won’t listen to my order.

That’s something that must be avoided. So I can only watch.

Both sides are now exhausted. They have been fighting for so long after all. So we can see the end soon.

They can no longer run on air, transform, or using long distance slash. So it’s just a brawl.

Anyone watching will think that the weretiger is winning thanks to his physique. But Shelia is not losing at all.

Finally, the weretiger who saw Shelia let down her guard made a mistake. He made a big swing for a finishing move. But that’s what Shelia predicted.

She wasn’t totally exhausted. She’s reserving her stamina for her last attack.

And when the weretiger made that mistake, Shelia blocked it, and slashed her claws at the weretiger’s chest.

It’s a fatal wound that will kill him if not treated.

Seeing that the weretiger can no longer fight, I stopped the fight.

“The weretiger can no longer move! The winner is Shelia! Graham and all the angels, quickly heal both of them!”

I don’t want to lose the weretiger yet. I will bring him back to the magicless area and see if we can recruit him or not.
