Will of chaos

Chapter 1281 Cap 1279: Foreplay part 2

Pov Xagar:

To summarize, the last part of the preliminaries would be a 1-on-1 fight where participants are chosen at random and transported by the tokens they carry.

I look at the sheet in my hands and continue listening to the rules, but once they ask to reduce the number of deaths while in the rules themselves it still allows killing, other than that there aren't many rules.

To win you must throw the opponent out of the arena, kill the opponent, leave the opponent unconscious, or make the opponent admit defeat.

As soon as the judge finished explaining all the arenas were enveloped in columns of light, I didn't understand the reason for that but I kept quiet while worrying about my next opponent since I don't want to fight Fiona.

She who was next to me puts her hand on my shoulder without saying anything, but I understand, she is not comforting me, by the strength of her grip on my shoulder it means not to take it easy if we are opponents.

"(Looks like she's back to normal.)" (I)

Loco I saw people disappearing at the same time the judge snapped his fingers, it was at that moment that I felt the vibration of my chip before I felt the mana of the space element surrounding my body to take me to the arena.

My vision would become distorted and could cause confusion in my mind, so I closed my eyes for 5 seconds until I felt like I was in a different place with the energy of space diluting in the surroundings.

When my eyes open I was facing my opponent at a safe distance, I was relieved that I didn't have to fight Fiona, this would interfere with our mission at the same time as it would be a difficult battle, Fiona knows all my moves from training by my side all this time, we also have almost the same level of strength, the only advantage I have above it is in combat experience.

After the relief that Fiona wasn't my opponent, I began to evaluate the person who was doing the same to me.

He was a young man who just came out of grip, his body was thin with few muscles, he was clearly not a warrior, his sword looked very fragile and I see rings on all his fingers, clearly they are magical items.

He is clearly a High White Elf since he has the mana jewel on his forehead, and his eyes show caution, perhaps he is a little older than I imagine.

"Start!" (judge)

"< Blade Whip >"

"..." (I)

As soon as the judge's signal was heard his attack came, his speed was greater than mine exploding all at once towards me.

The sword that I thought was fragile in his hands became malleable, looking like a whip with a blade, his blows are very open, and they are also very direct.

I use my sword to redirect the tip of the Whip towards the opponent, but he seemed to be able to directly control his weapon, making me attack from an angle that would otherwise be impossible.

I smile heading towards him, the tip of my sword tries to cut his fingers but instead hits a wall of solid aura, with a simple twist of my hand I made him flinch before jumping back, a metal claw that came out from the exact spot where I was back down.

"(He is of the Metal element, but I don't sense Mana or Spiritual Energy from his sword.)" (I)

"(...)" (Targo)

I felt Targo trying to talk, but I used my Aura to seal him in my blood, he can observe, but trying to talk to me during combat could draw unwanted attention, and I'd rather not risk it while in the arena.

"< Demonic Armor >" (I)

"< Demonic Aura Sword >" (I)

I gather and Demonic Energy around my body solidifying into a dark armor that appears to be made of metal, the sword in my hand turns red as a silhouette of the same blade with a larger size appears.

I feel my body pumped with power that I control, taking it to my feet, with this power I give an unexpected boost to my opponent.

His Whip tries to wrap around my body, but I ignore it since I don't believe it's strong enough to pierce my armor and it was exactly as I predicted.

As soon as I get closer, I hold his neck in my hands, giving him just 2 seconds to admit defeat.

When I walked out of the arena I saw Fiona waiting for me, I look at her as my Demonic energy disperses, and neither of us says anything as we go to a corner to talk.

"Any news?" (I)

"It looks like in 2 days the start of the tournament will happen, we can leave now." (Fiona)

----------------

Pov Zenos:

I was in the coliseum inside a hidden room where we had a view of all the arenas, along with me were my wives with the exception of Freya still sleeping.

I followed since the start of the preliminaries and sent some people from the Dungeon to investigate with the most important roles falling to Fiona and Xagar.

Thanks to that I saw the results from that first day, it really was a mistake to wait until now.

"How many?" (I)

"So far 10, should we act?" (Orion)

"It's okay, no need to worry, keep getting what we need." (I)

Orion transforms into a flow of blood that returns into my body, I can feel it directly absorbing my magic.

As we were in the room I see everyone leaving those who participated in the preliminaries, when a young man appears inside the room, his confident smile and heavy presence was something I could identify.

"A pleasure to meet you, High Priest of the Colosseum." (I)

"Yes, let's get to know each other."

"< Territory: Ruler >"

"< Sacred Coliseum >"

The world seemed to open up around us, the whole world changed leaving just me and him in the middle of a large arena, everything else was left out.

"You know, I was really happy when you showed up and your subordinates did these strange actions."

"You are doing something in our temple, if you want to be forgiven to go along like them, then fight."

Before saying anything else, he holds two weapons that look like spear-shaped sticks.

After that, he started speaking in one language.

He picks up his weapons and comes towards me, each attack of his makes blades of pure condensed Aura energy travel without rest.

I drew my sword and dagger to fight, but do not destroy each.

I try to hit him more than once, but he stops me realizing that he seems much wiser.

Each collision of our weapons makes the space around us crack, during one of these collisions I both use my dagger to pull his weapon closer to me, throwing off his balance long enough for my foot to get the better of just breaking something unknown.

With this, fighting using weapons became a thing of the past while others seemed to have more.

Our kicks made my leg bones inside my body want it to be.

"Come with everything!"

We both continued exchanging blows for a while, it seemed to have no end, but I can't lose focus as I jump back, escaping another kick and this time it's me who surprises her with my tail pulling her leg before writing Spiritual Runes in high speed on his leg using the tip of my tail.

"< Activate >" (I)

"< Blood Imprisonment Rune >" (I)

With these Spiritual Runes, streams of blood come out of his body, that's when I felt the power of this seal, but unfortunately, it was only one leg that was sealed to buy time for me.

This time my wings are used giving me a burst of forward momentum reaching its target leaving nothing but that forever.

I turned around giving a kick, but my leg hurts pierced by his sword, he seemed to be having fun with a big smile on his face.

As a result, our combat lasted tens of minutes before we were able to do anything.

As soon as I finish dealing with another of its members this Priest is already too weak to do anything when he falls to the ground.

That's why I hit him in the head while trying to make him lose consciousness, there are no more reasons to continue this battle and I've already won too.

"Alright, I accept."

As expected, everything you need can be found here, while after his surrender I succeeded in the plan knowing that it could affect my already religious situation.

He must be fine, so I released him from the seals I placed at the same time his clothes returned as they were.

I see him deactivating his Territory technique before he starts talking to me about the tournament, I also hear him talking about what not to do during these matches, with a lot of emphasis on things that you can't do during the tournament.

We also received a warning not to do this again without notifying someone among them, I cannot interfere in the fight other than my subordinates who are participating in this together.

With that I left the Coliseum thinking, it was a little strange, but even so, everything was going according to what I planned, if things continue like this everything will happen the way I imagined, with this ending our day.
