Chapter 26: Party and Battle Royale - Part 2

Area C ~ Viole Wellston

'Ugh, I wonder who is close to me... I hope it's either Ain or Lucy because if I were to lose, I hope I will lose to them.'

To be honest, I don't want to lose in Theo's hands because I will feel embarrassed. When I fight him, he might not fight me but bully me. I won't survive his tricks!

I looked around as I am looking for someone who is near me. 'I guess there is-'

As I lowered my guard, I heard someone's voice.

"[Daille Sword Technique: Kill]"

The man swung his sword on a horizontal pattern. I blocked it as the strike almost hits me directly. I felt some stingy sensations on my body as if my body paralyzed.

"Viole Wellston versus Zero Daille!" The announcer announced as I started to force myself to feel my body. I have resistance to paralysis but I am not immune to it.

Everyone in the arena cheered as they became excited about the battle.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Area F ~ Theo Xeros

"Viole? I hope he will be okay..." Theo said as he continued his training.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Area E ~ Lucy Scott

"Hoh, I wonder what will be the result of that battle..." She said as she started to stroll down the forest. As she strolls down, there is already an eye looking at her.

Area D ~ ???

'Viole? Haha,' The man in the branch of trees said and chuckled inwardly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Area C ~ Viole Wellston

"Zero..." I muttered as I stared at Zero who is smirking.

"To think that you are the first enemy, huh?" Zero said as he dashes towards me.

"[International Technique: Mount Nagomo!]"

Zero swung his sword upwards and reached my spot but since I know that move, I retreated 2 meters away before the sword hits me.

As I retreated, I also prepared my next move and cried, "[Wellston Slayer Technique: Severing Hydra's Head]!"

Zero didn't retreat but blocked it with his another technique, [Internation Technique: Mount Everest]

"As expected of the rival family of Daille, the one who uses the mythological slayer's technique!" Zero yells as he counterattacks with a basic diagonal slash.

A mythological Slayer is a group of people who hunts mythological creatures such as chimera, mermaid, fairies, unicorns, western dragons, or even the hydra. Mythological Slayers are basically the enemy of the families who uses the blessing of these creatures such as the Hydra family, Daille.

There is also the Bernardo family who is blessed by the centaurs but unfortunately, they are weak to fight toe to toe with our family. Theo's family, the Xenos family is also blessed by the Leprechaun but they don't use the techniques or magic of a Leprechaun because these creatures are only focused on fortune, wealth, and luck. Xeros family is very mysterious and nobody knows if the Xeros family is a family with two blessings because of producing very powerful talents within the family, just like Theo.

"[Daille Sword Secret Form: Hydra's First Head!]" Zero cries while pointing his sword towards me as he dashes.

"[Wellston Slayer Technique: Hydra's Scale]" I gathered an insane amount of fortifying-type aura and reinforced it into my body and my skin transformed into a scale-like skin.

Letting the piercing technique of Zero hits me, but it can't even hurt or pierce me. Making Zero's sword stuck into the scales on my body.

"[Wellston Slayer Technique: Demon Dragon's Claw!]" I cried as I watched him pulling the sword from my body. I swung my sword and slashed Zero like a dragon hitting the enemies with their claws on their hands and toes.

He retreated and managed to dodge my fast swing. But it also seems that I managed to wound him even it is shallow, it already made me satisfied.

"[Daille Sword Secret Form: Hydra's Seventh Head!]" He dashed to me as he produced a spiral spin in the air, gathering force for the attack and I can't do anything to that. To defeat a force, you need a force after all.

But I am too late, he is already in front of me.

"[Wellston Slayer Technique: World Turle's Shell!]"

[!] World Turtle is a mytheme of a giant turtle supporting the world alongside the world elephants. It is mythology from china. Our ancestors can't defeat the turtle because of its very tough shell and in the end, they made a truce since the turtle can't do anything because the world is within its back.

"How troublesome!" Zero shouts angrily as he slashed diagonally and said, "[Hydra's Second Head!]"

My shield is still there but he is still attacking my shield. 'Perhaps he knew that I didn't master it?!'

Zero continued to slash horizontally and said, "[Hydra's Third Head]!"

But still, no damage at all. I can only absorb damage on this form and not counterattack.

'I can't defeat him with just blocking his attack! Plus, this technique will absorb the attack of the enemy and consumes my stamina for it! The absorbed attack will become my attack power after all. His attacks are all heavy!' I cried inwardly as I retreated my stance before Zero to continue.

*Puff*

*Puff*

I watched my breathing as I stared at him, 'That is a mistake I made but I have no choice, I haven't mastered other blocking techniques, after all...'

*Puff*

'But it seems like he is also exhausted using the secret techniques consecutively...' I thought to myself as I stared at him full of sweat on every part of his body.

"I am still naive to think that I can use these techniques one after another!" Zero regrets as he stared at me who is catching us breathes at the same time.

"How about this, Slayer-guy?" He said seriously as he regained his composure and I replied, "What is it? Eight-headed-guy"

"Let's finish this fight immediately and defeat each other with our powerful moves!" Zero said excitingly and I replied, "Why?"

"Well-" he hesitatingly said and continued, "I hate being in sweat or dirty, after all," He laughed stupidly.

"What the f**k, what are you? A clean freak?!" I curse him and he only replied with a simple smile.

"Well, it is not a bad proposal, you know?" I replied and nods on his suggestion and continued, "Then, how about let's end our stupid battle"

"Well, that's true. He he" He replied with a stupid laugh as he stood himself to a fighting stance for some kind of heavy attack.

Same for me, I only know the first ultimate form of our technique... I hope it will work.

"[Daille Ultimate Secret Style: Hydra's Ninth Head, Imaginary!]"

"[Wellston Ultimate Slayer Technique: Heaven Destroyer!]"

We both dashes at the same time at a very fast pace, and for a second, the audiences didn't know what we did, probably,

'On that fast attacks I did, no one can see it but the attack of Zero...'

Zero is quiet, the same as me, he didn't move one inch and when a whole 5 seconds is passed, he fell to the ground.

'...Not that fast but it is fatal...'

I fell on the ground at the same time that Zero fell.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Battle Royale's First Battle: Viole Wellston versus Zero Daille..." The announcer announced but he stopped mid-way and hesitatingly continued, "Both out! They are both disqualified!"

Every player on the battlefield is surprised and speechless.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Area F ~ Theo Xeros

"He defeated him but he was defeated too?!" I sighed inwardly as I looked at my hands and continued, "Well- six out of seven are still alive, should I hunt an enemy?"

"You don't need to have to find me, I am right behind you!" the man said while smirking and I responded, "I know, that is why I should hunt one nearby!" I said with a cold smile making the attacking Bryan retreat and positioned himself to attack.

Area G ~ Bryan Vasquez

"D**n it!" Bryan curses loudly as he stared at Theo who is looking at him cold-bloodedly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Area E ~ Lucy Scott

Lucy who is continuing strolling down noticed a presence but she immediately felt that the person watching her retreated his presence.

"Ehem, can we fight now? Lucy Scott..." the man said as he stared at Lucy's back.

Lucy noticed this familiar voice and he can't expect that he is the one targeting her.

"Oh, great! Ain Fronda" She replied while smiling.

Area D ~ Ain Fronda

"Well, you didn't expect me, aren't you?" Ain said with killing intent.

"No, I know that you are hiding your real powers but you can't fool me. Come to think of it, Theo seems also to know your real attributes for aura..." Lucy said as she watched his face started to change from cold to panicking.

'Theo knows?!' Ain said to himself angrily. He has a secret that doesn't want anyone to learn but Lucy just leaked that she knew and told Ain that Theo also knows.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Woah! The battle is just beginning but it started to heat up! There are two battles that are going on! Theo Xeros versus Bryan Vasquez and the battle of Lucy Scott versus Ain Fronda!" The announcer announced excitingly followed by the loud cheer of the crowds.

Within those crowds, Falcon is watching incognito.

'It seems like you have to use assassination technique for this battle, my successor...' Falcon thought as he started to watch immensely.
