Book 2: Chapter 44: A Traumatized Drake

Scarlet

The next couple of rounds go by rather quickly, with me simply eliminating the opposing team almost right away. It isnt until the second part of the tournament begins, where the four stadiums are merged back into two instead, that our team actually has to work together to take on the opposing team.

Although I still end up overwhelming whoever Im fighting myself.

I glance at the corpse at my feet before stepping over them and grabbing the core for our fourth round battle.

Just like that dude.

I tighten my grip on the core which looks almost exactly like the core of a Fracture to shatter it, making us all appear in our private booth again. And at that point, I hear the people shouting the second title they gave me.

Apex Predator.

It wasnt until I heard them shouting it after the third round that I finally looked it up and realized that the commentator for our bracket decided to give me another title that the people immediately latched onto. Not that Im complaining though.nôvel binz was the first platform to present this chapter.

Apex Predator is much more intimidating and cool than Scarlet Wolf.

It fits you to a T as well Tar mutters, almost making me stick out my chest in pride.

Almost.

I was honestly expecting to be stuck with the Scarlet Wolf title forever. So this makes things a lot nicer.

Well, you still have the Scarlet Wolf title, Tar comments, but I ignore him as I focus on the battle going on in our bracket of the tournament.

Originally the battles were rather boring. But now theyre starting to get rather interesting.

One of the teams in particular. A team called Blaze, which has a rather good setup. Even if I dont particularly care for one of the people in the team.

My eyes widen in surprise, since weve never had a team try climbing the tower while were on defense before.

I rush over to the balcony before sticking my head over the edge. And immediately pulling my head back before a spear of fire passes by where my head just was. Then my ears twitch as I focus on them to listen for the exact positions of the enemies instead of looking down.

Looks like one of them is on the ground still likely Drake while the others are either climbing the walls, or straight up flying.

I raise my hand and create several blades of blood that I send flying straight towards the one flying with what sounds like wings. And while they sound like they dodge the first two blades, the remaining five strike true judging by the sounds of flesh being parted and a woman screaming.

Then after a few seconds, I hear a thump as something hits the floor. A corpse most likely.

Holy shit I hear Michael mutter to the side as his eyes finally stop glowing green and he turns to look at me. You can locate them just from your hearing? Or is it another skill?

Its my hearing, I answer while raising my hand again and summoning more blades of blood that I send directly towards the three people climbing the wall, impaling them into the wall by the sounds of it. Then I wait a second to make sure before sticking my head over the side to find that they are indeed very much dead.

And that leaves the traumatized guy down there who freezes up the moment he looks up and sees me.

Ya know, Im starting to pity the guy a little, Tar mutters, but I just shake my head.

Do you not remember what he did when we first met? He totally deserves this.

Although Ill just leave him be for this round. Let the timer run out instead.

Well, I say while looking at the others, looks like we won.

Michael snorts at that, and Belle just raises a brow at me.

I shrug.

Lets hope the next round, the last part of the tournament, will be more fun.
