Scarlet
The battle proceeds at a quick pace with the spiders and the black flas clashing in the middle of the arena, breaking apart to fill the entire arena with various different poisons and black flas. Which leads to damage from both sides.
Except that the arachnae has an advantage in that she is immune to corruption, whereas Red is not immune to his own hellfire.
So he ends up getting burnt by his own hellfire and poisoned while she only gets burnt.
Either way though, they both grit their teeth to hold in their screams.
That said, since theyre both being damaged directly via their realities, Im not sure how much longer this battle will last. Reality damage is a touchy thing after all, and we dont know if the Fae King can reverse their reality damage.
He cant reverse mine after all.
Either way, both the arachnae and Red continue fighting, trading one blow after another, each holding themselves back from screaming. Although, while Red isnt immune to his own magic, he does have a significant resistance towards it. So its not doing anywhere near as much to him as it is her.
So I guess his weakness isnt as big as I first thought.
Ti passes and most of the demons in the crowd which make up most of the crowd in general cheer for the arachnae, Octavia. anwhile the humans all cheer for Red.
But in the end, the arachnae cos out on top, winning by finishing him off with a stab to the heart, filling his heart with so sort of corruption. Proving that even if humans and demons are at peace now, demons are still superior in power just by nature.
The next duel of the second round is between a couple duke demons. And after that, a couple more duke demons. Then a duke and a duchess.
More and more demon versus demon duels.
Until, finally, so more interesting duels occur. The first being Xyvandra versus Leonidas.
Only for that duel to turn out not so interesting after all when everyone realizes Leonidas is immune to ntal attacks.
Not really sothing you expect of a blood lycan. Considering that were weak to ntal attacks.
I honestly didnt realize he was immune to them myself. Then again, Ive never seen him face soone with a ntal type magic before.
The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringent.
Its most likely Blood Dominions doing, Tar points out.
Oh, right. I almost forgot about that skill.
Well, anyways, the battle basically turned out to just be Xyvandra smiling at him before closing her eyes and letting him tear out her throat.
Not sure why she didnt just surrender, but whatever.
Probably a Demon Lord pride thing.
Then cos Blacks duel against a demon, to which he actually wins sohow. Mostly through hiding in the shadows and repeatedly dealing sneak attacks against the demon. Sothing thats only possible because said demon apparently didnt have any sensory powers.
So it couldnt actually tell where he would attack from.
It genuinely didnt matter that the demon was stronger than him in that match.
And Im honestly surprised by how far Black is going in the tournant competition. Considering that hes a stealth focused Guardian.
Not really the type youd assu would make it far in a tournant.
Then Alia cos in and wipes the floor with the demon she faces, quite literally erasing them from existence without batting an eye. Which is probably only sothing she can do because everyones condition is reset between every round. Otherwise she wouldnt have the mana to do that every round.
Its kind of pitiful to watch a duel start and imdiately have one of the two competitors vanishing in a flash of white light without them being able to react though.
And a little terrifying.
Human or not, Alia is a monster among monsters.
Like mother like daughter, Tar mutters, making narrow my eyes at him.
The tanuki looks away as if the sky above us suddenly beca incredibly interesting.
Uh huh.
The duels continue, but there arent any interesting ones after that. Just my own. Which isnt interesting either since Im up against a random demon noble who I wipe out just by turning into my quadrupedal beast form and tearing them apart.
I feel a little bad for the demon who I tear apart, but they seed to have expected that outco. So everythings fine.
And right after that, the brackets for the third round of the tournant competition arrives.
Only for absolutely everyone to go ballistic the mont they see one of the pairings within it.
The very first pairing, in fact.
Both of the competitors appear in the arena, King Oberon not delaying it whatsoever and clearly showing his own excitent. And the arena itself seems to be a boiling blood lake surrounding a completely white and plain arena, with white particles in the air above the blood.
And here we have it folks! King Oberon shouts, his excitent practically pouring into his voice as the wild screams of the audience fills the stadium. One of the battles everyone has been waiting for, both demon and human! Even a certain Demon King!
I glance up to find Gramps genuinely looking interested in this battle.
Although when he sees looking up he simply waves at . And, to my surprise, vanishes only to reappear right next to , startling and the other competitors here.
He nods his head with a smile and looks down, apparently deciding not to talk.
So I do the sa, focusing my gaze on the two people down in the arena.
Two people who likely havent fought for years. Who are both symbols of the absolute strongest in their respective worlds, other than Gramps, of course.
Both practically royalty in a way amongst their species.
Gramps and I watch silently as Alia stands with her hands on her hips and a wide grin on her face while staring at her husband across the arena from her.
Its the battle between the White Knight of Humanity and the Blood Lord of the Demons.
The Bane of Magic versus the Blood Calamity.
And I cant help but feel excited for it.
