The moment those words were uttered, Ballantyne not wanting to underestimate his opponent threw out his attack immediately.
< Chain Bind >
Those were the next word he uttered. Immediately, chains came out from the ground beneath Virus's feet, behind her, creating a circle around her. At first, it looked like the chains were just hanging in the air not listening to their owner's command..that being the fact that Ballantyne was gathering Mana and infusing it into his chains to avoid easy breakage.
< Infusion Complete >
< - 50 Mana >
< Skill - Unbreakable Chains has been acquired >
(Info:.....)
Ballantyne ignored the notification his gaze smiling as he stared at Virus suddenly he clenched his fists. The chains began to move towards Virus at a fast pace till they clenched around her wrapping her in a Bundle of chains. Everyone watched as Virus got entangled in chains. How will Virus escape?
Ballantyne didn't stop to know or watch instead, he ran forward throwing out a kick towards Virus, The kick landed on her ribs, throwing her back. Still due to the chains Virus stayed still while in the air.
Ballantyne not wanting to get any surprises gave her another kick towards her face, right underneath her jaw making Virus throw her head back due to the impact.
Moving forward again, Ballantyne was about to give her another beating when his movements suddenly felt restricted. Ballantyne couldn't lift his feet.
Lifting his head alone had become a hard chore. And before he could react, he heard a crack not knowing where but one thing was for sure he was in pain.
Finally, he could move his joints but he still couldn't move freely. Ballantyne was thrown back, the push was so mighty everyone except a select few were in a state of shock and confusion.
Virus had finally unentangled herself from the chains. Standing, she cracked her bones once those satisfying cracks were heard, she continued.
Stretching her hand forward, she used her index finger to point toward Ballantyne, and with a gesture of her index finger, Ballantyne rose from the ground in a floating manner while floating towards her.
Virus wanted payback and now she finally had it. Once he was right in front of her, Virus stepped back quite a distance away. Once she was at the right distance, she ran forward.
Virus moved swiftly, once she got halfway towards her opponent, she stopped with her left leg then she adjusted her posture making her look like she was about to attack with a high kick.
Infusing her Leg with Chi, Virus lifted her right leg and struck. It felt like Virus had kicked a football instead of a human.
Ballantyne flew so high, that his mind had momentarily gone blank but once he realized he would be falling soon, he called out
< Chains! >
The chains that had previously been behind Virus retreated. Immediately attaching themselves towards Ballantyne's side of the field. They grew long attaching themselves to him which brought him down safely.
Once he landed, Virus had just started and before anyone could realize it, Ballantyne was kneeling on the ground his mouth had spilled Blood but Virus still wasn't done.
Ballantyne stood up, his fighting spirit was also glowing with vigor but before they could both show their physical fighting techniques, they had been separated.
Ballantyne looked dejected because his status screen had brought up the notification for the duel.
Everyone cheered but both contests weren't happy about the result. Ballantyne and Virus shook hands both had things occupying their minds while Virus went back with her Great grandfather, Ballantyne got several decreases in level.

Another training or rather a severe beating was what Virus received due to her poor performance. Her healed injuries on her back had opened up again just like it always does every time.
°Get up! With all my training, you had the guts to disgrace us today!? This was meant to be a virtual lesson for you! You couldn't even bother to give your all! Most especially against someone weaker than you!? I am highly disappointed in you!° Bacneas complained
°We would be having visitors from the neighboring kingdom. The Vadims. Get dolled up! If you can't be useful this way, at least you can be useful in other ways. Let me remind you the Vadims are the only ones who can never get poisoned or infected by our blood!°Bacneas watched as Virus stood just taking his insults without reaction like she had been doing for three years now.
Bacneas could still remember the first year of their training. Virus was always ready with a comeback. One insult from me will result in him being at the receiving end of twenty or more painful insults.
Although that all stopped when Bacneas began to teach her secrets about her blood powers. After so many physical beatings, Virus stopped talking back and just went with the flow of things, her expressions were the beginning, Virus stopped smiling her expression became lifeless.
°You still won't respond? Do you hate me that much? I am doing all this for your future's sake! For you! Why I'm I getting the cold shoulder!?° Bacneas asked irritated. Turning around he left the room letting his words hang without response.
Once he left Virus left also her destination was her room. Pushing the door open, Virus came to face with her brother who had a first aid box in hand.
°Strip, Let's wash up first before I bandage your wounds° Belor instructed
Virus didn't have the will to refuse such treatment and listened to her brother. Both enjoyed each other's presence alone words weren't needed and before they knew it it was time to meet their guests.

Three limousines could be seen driving through the street of Blood kingdom. The flags on the cars were an indication of where or to who these cars belonged.
Inside the second car which was at the center of the two, Four people a family of four was situated. All three cars had a destination and that was the Blood's Castle.
