“Burst~!”
The moment I say this word, Blair’s body starts swelling up, forming an irregular shape. Right now, her two hands are swollen with several little swellings, as if they’re going to burst at any moment now. The same goes for the rest of her body, and it doesn’t seem to be stopping.
“J-Jake, what did you do to me?” Blair asks me with a stutter as her body continues to grow and elongate in size. Currently, her body is taking on the shape of a round balloon, a balloon that is hitting its limit.
“I’m sorry, Blair… I have to teach you common sense. You also underestimated your opponent just like Roth did. For instance, when you fought against Magnus, you were overconfident in yourself, yet he almost killed you, at least until I showed up. Do you know that you were so reckless back there?” I say, looking at Blair like a husband who is cautioning his wife over her bad habit.
“I’m sorry.” Blair replies in a low voice.
BOOM!!!
Her body explodes into several tiny fragments of meat before disintegrating in an instant.
‘Sigh, if it had been a real duel, I wouldn’t have done that. As a woman she might be mad at me for defeating her like that, forgetting the fact that this is a duel inside a game in the first place. Women~’
I let out a sigh and start walking towards Alphonso, stopping in front of him.
“I thought you would go easy on her…” Alphonso says with a smile.
“I went easy on her though…” I reply with a shrug.
“Pfft, you went easy but you lost one of your arms.” Alphonso says in a mocking tone while pointing towards my right hand that’s currently regenerating. Inside this game, I noticed that using blood attacks doesn’t use up a lot of my blood like in the real world.
In reality, even though I lost one of my arms, I really went easy on Blair. My arm was just a price to pay for the attack.
Sometime later, a figure suddenly appears in our midst. This figure is none other than Blair. She respawned inside this game minutes after she was killed.
“Blair….” I call out to her but she doesn’t answer me, and instead she walks past me before sitting down on one of the chairs in the arena.
Sigh….women.
“So now, it remains me and you, huh? You showed some pretty good skills there boy and I was impressed. Honestly, I thought you would be the one to perform worse. Your mom must have taught you quite some skill.” Alphonso says as he finally moves for the first time, jumping down to the field below.
*BAM*
The dust rises upon his arrival and the atmosphere changes due to his aura. I also jump into the field and stand opposite him, several meters away.
“Jake, I am a master when it comes to using Ki. But to make the duel a bit fair to you, I’ll not use Ki. I’ll only use my blood power and blood attacks.” Alphonso says menacingly.
‘People just don’t learn. He’s also underestimating me. I know that I might not be able to defeat you Alphonso because of my mediocre stats, but I’ll make sure to put up a good fight.’
‘Mimi, I have five free stats points, right?’
[Yes, master…]
‘Distribute them evenly…’
[Affirmative, master…]
…
[Done master, all your stats have been raised to 31. You have zero free stats points. Moreover, you have 7 system respects. With this system respect, I can raise all your stats to 40 for a limited time, at least untill you finish this duel.]
‘Really?’
[Yes master.]
‘Do it then!’
Suddenly, I start feeling a strange sensation in my body. I can feel my body getting stronger.
‘T-This… is this what it feels like when all my stats rise to 40? I can’t imagine how sturdy my body will be if all my stats are 100. I will be able to perform any blood attack.’
[You are right and wrong master… to release the best blood attacks, you need to have above 100 stats. Meanwhile, you are going to become a vampire lord soon, so your natural body stats will increase.]
‘Wow’
Suddenly, my master’s voice brings me back to reality.
“Jake, attack me with the strongest attack you have before we begin the real duel. I want to have a little fun first.” Alphonso says while cracking his hands.
‘You are the same as Roth.’
“Thank you for giving me this opportunity, master. But can I pick a weapon so that I will be able to unleash my strongest attack?” I ask with a polite voice while smirking inwardly.
“Oh, sure…. I only have one weapon inside this game, it might do.” Alphonso says and in the next moment, a long bronze sword appears in his hands.
Tossing the shining sword towards me, I leap in the air and catch it.
*BAM*
I get down back on the floor and begin to inspect the weapon.
‘Mmm, a normal basic-tier sword with no active skill. This should do at least.’
Suddenly, I start focusing my vampire aura on the sword. My eyes are glowing bright red, while my hair is flowing backward in a wavy manner.
Even Alphonso has a look of disbelief on his face at what I am doing right now. I don’t stop there, I continue to send my aura into the sword which is now bright red as well.
Furthermore, a tornado of aura is swirling around me while the sky is slowly turning crimson.
