Chapter 158: Prince (3)

-I know what to do for this 2nd match, our goal is to get the prince position and vampires respect strength, right? Let's win this easily-

-Well you do you, we'll just cheer you on from the sidelines- Diana replied

I then got to the arena and met my opponent, my opponent was a female vampire with light armor, probably S-rank at most with several floating swords around her.

"Do the swords follow you everywhere? Doesn't it get annoying?"

She just ignored me and looked away.

-Not the first time I got ignored by a woman-

-It reminds me of that time you had a fight with Kelly and she gave you the silent treatment for 2 days- Dabria said -You 2 fought a lot, you were more like cats and dogs rather than siblings-

-Hey, me and Siege don't fight like that- Ace argued

-That's because I'm a proud wolf, not a dog- Siege scoffs

-It was just an expression- Dabria explained

-Well we made up pretty quickly, cuz I was the only one who does the cooking in the orphanage among the 4 of us back then-

"Start!" the referee shouted and I immediately activated 'Presence'

My opponent's knee then buckled as the pressure was too much for her, even the referee couldn't handle it as blood started to come out of his nose. Both my opponent and the referee then collapsed under the pressure, I then turned it off before it kills them.

"That boy...to feel his presence from here, he's quite strong" The king commented "His presence just now surpasses even Urie's.

"Go and check on the spectators, I can see that some of them fainted, get the healers to treat them if necessary" the king ordered

"Natalie, between me and him, who do you think will win?" Lillian asked curiously

"If judging from what master Urie says about him, I would think that he is exaggerating like always, but from what I've seen just now, his presence was unlike anything I've experienced" Natalie answered "It might be a bit presumptuous of me to say it, but his presence is far more scarier than yours, milady"

"Just his presence alone was enough to instill fear, that son of Urie is a very scary opponent" the other prince shook his head

He was a vampire 168cm tall, brown hair and light yellow eyes, wearing a highly decorated tunic.

"Are you scared of him, Heathcliff Hayes?" Lillian teased

"Don't say my full name, Lillian, everyone here knows it" Heathcliff scoffs "But yes a bit, if he does become prince, won't he become the youngest prince in history?"

"Why are you so grumpy? Is it because we broke up?" Lillian teased "It wasn't because of your height you know"

"Shut up woman, the world's average male height is 176cm, I'm just slightly shorter than average, I've checked" he retorted

"Someone's sensitive" Lillian pouted "How about you? Who do you think will make it to the top 2, Vlad Mercy?"

Lillian asked a prince who was sleeping in his chair and didn't answer. He was a vampire, about 177cm tall, green hair and dressed in a thick and puffy cloak.

"Just let me sleep" Vlad opened his eyes that was dark red in color "Sloth magic comes with a heavy cost, and you're all very loud, wake me when this is over, I need some rest"

Vlad then shut his eyes again and went to sleep

1st person view

This giant vampire was throwing a punch at me, I locked it and flipped him and smashed him against the ground.

"Oh I love that move, so simple, yet so effective, it uses your own strength against you"

He roared and then got up, I then jumped backwards, the ground started to crack as rocks started to float up and clad his body. Rocks started to form together around his body and he then become this giant rock golem.

He then smashed the ground, but I managed to dodge it and jumped onto his arm.

"Stellar Black hole" I casted as a giant black hole appeared above the giant. The magic that was keeping the rocks together got sucked in, and the golem started to break, I dashed in my fist clad with aura and punched him, grabbed him and throw him towards the ground.

I shaped the aura into a giant hammer and smashed him, leaving a giant crater on the ground.

-That's 16 left, and only 2 can come out on top-

"Victory goes to Perseus Silver" The referee announced as I then went back into the waiting room, and saw Stella waiting for me in there.

"Oh what are you doing here?"

"I heard that you were competing, so I've come to watch you win, little brother" Stella answered

"Hey, you hear that?" Vampire #1 whispered "Prince Urie got a daughter too"

"But those 2 look nothing alike" Vampire #2 replied "Maybe the rumors of him like to fool around is true after all, he probably mated with a dragon for her"

"You should know how ridiculous you sound" Vampire #3 shook his head "That's biologically impossible"

"But they're his children alright, the confidence they have is something, they're so sure of that boy winning" Vampire #1 crossed his arms "His next opponent won't be as easy"

"They're very annoying, should I kill them?" Stella asked

"What? No! If you kill them, it's going to ruin my first impressions when I actually become the prince"

"You do realize that your nickname within our organization is 'the tyrant', right?" she raised an eyebrow and pointed to her teddy bear "Even Parker knows"

"What?!"

"You went around and beat up misfits and troublemakers who resisted and force them to be underling, some of them are even under a soul contract. The title of tyrant is fitting, there's also 'unfashionable tyrant' or 'unfashionable tyrant with a pretentious name', but people rather call you 'the tyrant' because it is shorter" She replied

"What about my bonds? And all your nicknames?"

She then thought about it and answered.

"Siege is known as the stern wolf, Ace the free spirit, Diana the black flame and Damon is very popular among the female members, earning him the nickname of the Winter Prince" She answered

I then fell to the floor in defeat.

| My nickname is the author, it's super plain, if that makes you feel any better |

< That actually sounds cool >

-You'll earn your protagonist title soon enough- Dabria comforted

-Why give out nicknames when our actual name is shorter?- Siege questioned

"I don't mind my nickname" Damon coughed with his face slightly red

-Mine too, black flame sounds pretty cool- Diana agreed

"Urie's is the crimson prince, but he gets that nickname only when he wears formal clothing, which is on very rare occasions" Stella continued "Do you want to know my nickname too?"

"No, my ego is already shattered, hearing more will just hurt my pride"
