Chapter 1288 Cap 1286: War Tournament Part 7
Pov Xagar:
A green irony idiot or someone with a lot of confidence is trying to draw people towards him, but what caught my attention was the very Aura he is using.
"(This is not a person's Aura, this looks more like a Spirit's Aura...)" (I)
I was in the body of one of the two stupid idiots I ambushed during their fights, so I had no fear when I let myself fall into the trap and headed in that direction.
Before long I arrived near a small mountain, there was a cave from where the Aura was emerging, but of course, I didn't go in there, I just hide somewhere far away where I can still see that cave.
In a short time, I saw two people arrive, one of them who arrived first had several items floating around him, it seems that he was a Magical Engineer like Nicole, finding one of these capable of fighting with his creations is rare.
Even without seeing what he is doing, I know he must be analyzing the situation and he is certainly smart enough to know that this is a trap, but he still entered after a few seconds of waiting.
The second was a woman, she was a Vampire, I could know that just by looking at her smile before she entered I saw her activating some type of magic where she used her blood to draw the Magic circle.
It seems that everyone is confident in this arena, soon a few minutes pass in silence before intense earthquakes shake everything in the surroundings and crack the ground for hundreds of meters.
A few seconds later a jet of magma appears from the ground a few tens of meters from the cave like a golden and red column heading to the sky, from this column of magma comes the Rogue with her completely charred body still moving, then the magma itself opens revealing a Demon that would look completely Human if it weren't for the horns on its head.
The man had a small Spirit next to him, but this Spirit was strange, he had Runes drawn all over his body, glowing slightly, almost looking like a member of the Runic race.
I wasn't seeing the Engineer who entered first, he might be hiding somewhere or has already been defeated, this Demon in front of me must be the one that made everyone gather here.
I just wait while holding my sword, this person's Aura is a little strange, but the Spirit with him is even stranger.
Fairies and Spirits are creatures that can be described as living incarnations of the elements of nature, which is why they are all extremely emotional and find it so difficult to lie, their very existence conforms to nature making it difficult to lie.
Now looking at this Spirit, his eyes are dead, I barely see any emotions in his behavior and his Aura is also equally strange to that of his Contractor.
"< Holy Spiritual Blade >" (I)
At the same moment he approaches from behind to pierce the charred Rogue's chest with his arm covered in magma, I use a magical teleportation item appearing next to him.
I used my sword to cut the arm that was still inside the Rogue's body before stopping my sword at her neck His Spirit tried to attack me, but I threatened with my sword and he stopped.
"I knew there was someone hiding, but I didn't expect a teleportation, I admit defeat this time."
He smiles and picks up his arm from the ground before being taken out of the arena along with his Spirit, both of whom are teleported.
"So it's just the two of us left?" (I)
"This day is getting more and more fun, I was so proud of my techniques, how did you find out?"
"I haven't been declared the winner yet, so I assumed you were alive." (I)
"It could be the Magical Engineer, besides, don't lie to me, you were attentive even during your attack against that Demon."
I turn to Rogue's charred body and a large hole in her chest behind me, her body breaks like a sand building as blood flows upwards and attracts blood particles that were in the air as well as the vitality of the trees around her, a new body forms in seconds, but of course, she did it more slowly than normal I'm sure.
She was baiting me to attack before she finished recreating her body, plus she is showing her naked body in a very blatant way.
"Do you happen to like men?"
"No, but I won't fall into such obvious traps." (I)
"I'm liking you more and more."
The blood molds itself around her body creating a beautiful outfit of red fabric with different shades of red, in her hands was a red crystal that seemed to have blood flowing inside, this must be her Blood Core, which means it is a Vampire Matriarch.
"How long will you keep this shell?"
"I guess I really can't go easy on you..." (I)
As a Vampire Matriarch, she is very sensitive to Vitality and blood, she also seems to specialize in blood magic, I guess there was no way she couldn't see through me like that.
"< Demonic Blood Magic: Vampire Heart >" (I)
The entire body begins to become blood that is sucked into the heart, and all remaining vitality and Aura are swallowed becoming completely mine, only my own blood is left behind forming a mirror of blood from which it emerges completely fine in my true appearance, the heart of the previous body floats to the palm of my hand, sinking into my body to be used when necessary.
"It's not often I see a Demon with such great control over his blood."
She suddenly disappears and I feel a great pain in my back, when I look down her hand was coming out of my chest with my heart still beating in her hands before being crushed.
Cough Cough Cough Cough
"With this, we're both even, I don't like others ruining my plans."
I was coughing up blood as I resisted the urge to scream from this pain, immediately the Vampiric heart that had just formed seconds ago fell apart with a burst of regeneration immediately recreating a new heart as well as rebuilding my destroyed spine along with my rib cage, all my injuries were completely healed immediately.
When I blinked my eyes, she was already in front of me, inches from my face, looking at the middle of my forehead while licking my blood, still on her hands, I wanted to move away when I realized that her strength far surpasses mine, but I couldn't move a single muscle due to an incomparable Aura locking me in place.
"I may have missed this one, but at least I found what I was looking for, see you soon young man." nove(lB-1n
She had a different look as her smile became more serious, her once jovial voice now carried the weight of time while maintaining a different beauty, it was as if she were another person in front of me.
Soon something happens, a large red Dragon claw covered in flames grabs her from behind leading her into a rift in space that closes soon after, then an announcement can be heard before I am teleported to the participants' seats.
"I declare this match over with 2 deaths, 2 losses, 1 disqualification, and the winner being the participant..." (Raask)
"..." (I)
I had been declared the winner, but from what I heard the Rogue from before was disqualified, from the power she showed I'm sure she hid her true level of strength until now, the Dragon claw from before must have belonged to this Raask, but I didn't I see Rogue nowhere.
"(What's going on? Who was she? Why did she expose herself like that? Did she let me win? What did she want?)" (I)
I had a lot of questions in my head, but this was not the time or place to look for those answers.
She seemed pretty calm for someone dragged out by a large flaming claw, so I must assume that I must assume that she will return as she promised, Mr. Zenos must have seen everything, so I must seek his next orders on what to do next.
Now the important thing is that I'm in the top 20, I noticed that my match seems to have been one of the first to finish, so I'm going to pay attention to my future opponents, I also have to pay attention to Fiona.
But even knowing all this I couldn't help but cast my eyes towards one of the arenas, the images showed him once again fighting in a sadistic way, his opponent was not weaker than him, but he was clearly at a disadvantage due to the environment being a desert.
His light attacks use ambient light to strengthen himself, something I trained with him, I remember how it took him to learn that back then.
"(If it weren't for having met her... I might have been just like you now, old friend.)" (I)
Sigh
Seeing him after so many years is having more impact than I would like to admit, he reflects a version of me that could still exist, and he represents many of the mistakes I made in the past.
"(I hope to meet you in battle, I can't let this hesitation in my heart.)" (I)
