“The next participants are Jake Mystro from team black, and Myra Cougar from team blue!!!” The spectator announces once again.
This time around, there is only silence, due to the shock of the previous match.
Hearing my name, I get up from the chair and begin to walk towards the arena with a wide grin on my face, while I continue drinking blood from the packs that I took from my inventory.
The dark-elf girl from team blue also starts walking forward.
When we get to the entrance of the arena, and after climbing up the stairs, the translucent barrier opens up, allowing us to enter, then it closes up immediately after.
“There are a few things that I need to clarify that aren’t clear to everyone yet.” The thick voice of the spectator can be heard once again. “I just learned about this from one of the dojo masters that created this barrier. According to his words, he said that if one of the participants receives enough damage, he/she will pass out, and the opponent of the said participant will be declared the winner!
“In the case of the match that occurred just a few moments ago, both participants received equal damage; thus, causing both of them to pass out. So, If they had taken any more damage, it would have been quite dangerous. That’s why participants should refrain from attacking a participant that is willing to forfeit, surrender, or ends up passing out in the middle of a match.
“The match begins, now!!!” The spectator declared.
Hearing the proclamation, the dark-elf girl starts circling me, looking for an opening. The girl in front of me is Myra Cougar, a dark elf who has quite a small figure and is also known as the ice princess. She’s the first elf I’ve ever seen to be this small, with a height of 1.5 meters, a very slender figure, and dark-brown shoulder-length hair that has been pulled into a ponytail.
Although, she might look average, according to the elves’ standards, she’s just a legal loli since she’s older than me. And seeing her like this looks somewhat weird, because elves are known to be a very tall race, just like the vampires.
“You guys have been pretending all this while?! You idiots! I’ll crush you!” Myra says with a scowl on her face, it seems she was pained by Mule’s defeat.
“Fufufu…you look so juicy in this outfit, Myra. If I defeat you now, you’ll be my gal, deal?” I say, scanning her lewdly with my eyes from top to bottom.
“Kyaaaa!!! You pervert!” Myra cries out with disgust on her face, then immediately dashes towards me, as she forms a thick shard of ice in her hand..
The moment she is within my proximity, I suddenly blink away from my position.
“…..”
“What~?”
“Wow! That’s insane, so Team black has been pretending all this while?!”
“B-But…those guys were not able to absorb ability crystals!”
Everyone starts expressing their disbelief.
Even Myra stops in her tracks as she turns her body with a jerk, then looks at me with disbelief.
“Y-You have a teleportation ability?!” Myra asks in disbelief, but she suddenly regains her confidence instantly.
“Humph! Just like you vampires, we elves also have an innate ability!” Myra bellows as she crouches down and slams both of her palms on the ground.
‘Sigh… people don’t know the difference between teleportation and blink.’ I think inwardly and decide to mess with this redhead in front of me.
Suddenly, I start to feel the whole arena tremble…and in a flash, several thick, long, vines burst out of the ground, then begin wrapping and fastening around me before pinning me down. The vines are so fast and thick that even if I blink to another position within this arena, I would still be caught by it, because the whole arena is filled with her useless vines.
“Aa-haa! Who is the boss now? You couldn’t even last a minute in front of me despite your teleportation ability. You see, in this life, everything has disadvantages and weaknesses. Even the strongest ability has a weakness.”
Myra tells me mockingly while walking towards me with a thick shard of ice in her hand.
[Yo! Did you intentionally allow yourself to get caugh?! I never knew that elves also had an innate ability!]
Yeah, most demi-humans have an innate ability. However, only purebloods and royals can utilize it massively the way Myra did. For instance, a regular vampire can’t use blood attacks the way Roth did.
But…
[But what?!! You wanna lose to this redhead?! Are you fucking kidding me?!]
Hey, calm down… I still have a trick up my sleeve, I just have to disobey my master….fufufu. I am not some type of fantasy protagonist who will always hide his power even when in a dire situation. I’m the boss of myself, no one can tell me what to do!
[I’m liking you more and more… It will be nice if you can get this dark elf to give you a blow job afterwards….fufufu.]
She hates men….
Suddenly, I snap back to reality and look at Myra whose hand is already raised in the air with an ice shard in her hand.
“Wai–“
“Aargh!!!! Fuck you bitch!!”
I let out a cry as Myra suddenly launches an ice fragment at my torso, piercing right through my skin. There is currently a big gaping hole in my stomach with black blood seeping out of it.
“Hehehe…this is so funny…tehehe.” Myra lets out cute giggles in exhilaration, while she begins to form another ice shard in her hand.
It’s clear that she wants to humiliate me big time, and she is really enjoying it.
[Holy shit! She’s a sadist!]
“Myra, wait!” I yell at the top of my voice, the moment she is about to launch another ice shard at me.
“Oh, you have something to say? Fufufu.” she giggles, lowering her hand while the ice shard keeps melting.
“You said something before, right? You said everything has a weakness? But do you know that blood doesn’t have any weakness?” I say with a grin.
“W-What do y-you mea–“
Before she can complete her sentence, a red aura suddenly envelopes my whole body and explodes on impact. Seeing the sudden burst of aura, Myra leaps backwards, into the air upon sensing the danger.
At the same time, all the vines begin to disintegrate and turn into dust particles like they never existed.
Currently, I am using my blood power aura and fueling it with the blood from my body which I drank earlier before the duel. Furthermore, I don’t want to earn a lot of attention by creating something out of blood like ‘blood bullets’ or ‘a blood cannon’, something that I created when fighting against the zombies in the Flaming House. If I do that, all the vampires here would probably freak out.
After gaining freedom once again and healing myself where I got stabbed, I swing my palm and throw a blood strike at Myra. My blood strike is even denser and sharper than Roth’s own, making it more deadly as it flies towards Myra.
Myra, after gaining her momentum, raises her head a little, only to see a large red arc flying towards her. Sensing the danger of the red arc, large vines sprout from the ground and intertwine together, forming a very sturdy wall.
However, my blood strike cuts through her vine shield like tofu and continues to fly forward. Expecting this, Myra moves to the side, causing the blood strike to slice off a chunk of her hair as she evades it.
Without wasting any time again, I blink beside her and slap her across the face with my full strength.
*PAAAHH!!!*
“KYAAAAAAA!!!”
Myra lets out a cry as she flies across the arena and slams very hard against the barrier. The whole arena vibrates upon Myra’s collision with the barrier which shows how strong the slap was.
“Despicable! You can’t beat a woman!”
The dojo master of team blue bellows as she gets up from her seat.
I raise my head in a jerk as I turn my body and give her a wide sarcastic grin. The dojo master simply grits her teeth and sits down once again, when the other dojo masters refuse to spare her a glance. Of course, she’s Myra’s mother, and she has been a little unfair here, since she didn’t show any sympathy when Mule was getting beaten up by Roth.
Fufufu… since Myra hasn’t forfeited or passed out, let the show begin.
Myra, who is still lying down on the ground, quickly gets up when she senses that her opponent is walking towards her majestically.
“How…how…how…did…this…pervert get so strong? Maybe I have to disobey my mom and use my ultimate card, I can’t lose this fight,” Those are the words that Myra keeps mumbling as she gets up.
Wait, what does she mean by Ultimate card?
Suddenly, Myra gets to her feet with blood leaking out of the corner of her mouth, while a smile slowly begins to form on her face like a battle maniac.
“You surpassed my expectations, Jake! You managed to injure me! I agree to your deal, if you can defeat me, I’ll be all yours.” Myra says loudly, allowing the whole audience to listen.
“NOOO!!!! DON’T DO THAT MYRA!”
Her mom bellows at the top of her voice, but alas, Myra has made up her mind.
“You got yourself a deal…fufufu.” I reply with a smirk, while my grin begins to grow wider.
Suddenly, Myra’s body begins to levitate in the air, and her eyes and body begin to glow very brightly…
[W-What….t-t-that’s Divine blessing!]
Seeing the system’s expression…. I know that it must be something very dangerous.
However, I have the utmost Trump card under my sleeve; the bane of all women. Sorry, Myra….I have to do this.
“Perverted aura…”
