Warlock of Oceans: My Poseidon System

Chapter 53 Tournament of Blade and Alchemy (2)

After we exchanged some banter, we soon split up and found ourselves walking back to our sides, where we stretched and began to prepare for an all-out fight.

Of the new talented transfer students, this guy was the best, and just from his overwhelming arrogance, I could tell he had something to back it up.

"IS THE AUDIENCE READYYYYYYYY!?"

The cries of the excited audience echoed through the stadium and almost seemed to tickle the streets of our city itself.

"NOW! READYYYYYYYY! AND… LET THE DUEL BETWEEN A SWORDSWOMAN OF WATER AND A SPEARSMAN OF EARTHHHHHHH BEGIN!

BAM

It was instant, but I still reacted quicker, dodging backward to avoid the sudden attack coming from below.

A single spike of rock was meant to distract me as the spearsman in front of me charged forward, closing the gap between us with impressive speed.

"But you don't use this move until you've closed the gap just a bit more," I muttered, swinging upwards with as much grace as a dancing swan.

Water followed my blade, and as the boy blocked my sword with his spear, the following water cut upwards, just barely missing a good chance to break him.

"Next time, I won't miss," I muttered coldly.

"There is no need for that," He smirked, but I blocked his puny sneak attack as a blade of rock attempted to stab straight through the back of my neck.

My water had grabbed it like a hand catching a bullet before I brought up my knee and kicked him away from me.

Our weapons were untangled, and our control over the arena reverted back to zero.

"No need for what?" I taunted the boy, but the only reaction I got was a large smile as he only got more and more confident with each passing second.

The more he felt out the earth beneath him, the more he felt like he was going to actually go places with this fight… but if I had taken him seriously from the beginning, he would've stood no chance.

"Fine then… let's actually take this fight seriously," he smiled.

"Then you want to settle such a nice fight so early on?" I asked before dashing towards him, lifting up my sword and, this time, bringing it down with full force.

He went to go block it with the expectations of the previous clash, but this time…

SHING

I cut straight through the metal of his blade with cold eyes, the trail of water quickly following my blade, erupting into hundreds of needles.

His instincts were good as he immediately ducked out of the way, but he was still too open, becoming a victim to my deadly knee, which struck his jaw.

A loud crack resounded through the room as he was knocked back, stumbling with his consciousness slowly slipping in and out of his mind.

"What happened?" I smirked, and the boy, this time, got mad and went full mage mode by placing his hands on the ground.

Tendrils of the earth began to form in front of me, quickly whipping out to try and strike me, but I cut straight through them with my flawless power and precision.

Each weapon handed out was of the same quality and was made from the same blacksmith, meaning…

"Your movements and technique are crude… you barely pass in my eyes," I muttered, swinging at the air once and tearing through a massive wave of earth tendrils, blowing the boy's hair like a gust of rushing wind.

In an instant, I appeared in front of him, the tip of my sword just barely scraping his nose.

"HAH!" The boy cried out as his bait led me straight in front of him, allowing a few more tendrils to catch my limbs and hold me down in place.

He was, of course, smug but was also a fool as he failed to watch his surroundings.

A cry of excitement was unleashed from the crowd, and seeing how the boy just wouldn't give up, I finished the fight with a single strike.

SHING

The hundreds of weapons floating in the air behind and above him had filled the sky, nearly blotting out the sun.

And with a flick of my finger, they all came rushing down.

"[Ocean Pressure: The Armory of Poseidon],"

SHING SHING SHING SHING SHING SHING SHING SHING SHING SHING SHING SHING SHING SHING SHING SHING SHING SHING SHING SHING SHING SHING SHING SHING SHING SHING SHING SHING SHING SHING SHING SHING SHING SHING SHING SHING

"Huff… huff… huff… huff… huff… what the hell… how are you so strong? You're only a few years older than me," The boy muttered, terrified as the entire arena had been covered with these weapons.

An outline of his body was left as he slowly sat up and left the fight, hanging his head with utter shame and defeat.

"See that, you little brat? Your sister is strong as hell," I muttered before walking down to my side of the arena.

"AND WITH THAT! THE FIRST FIGHT HAS ENDED!" The announcer shouted into his mic, and the crowd shouted at the top of their lungs, chanting my name.

Adrenaline filled me, and the dose of dopamine flooding my brain was such a sweet reward that I couldn't help but wait for the next match.

"WILL WE SEE ANOTHER SWEEP BY THE PRINCESS OF THE OCEAN!? CAUSE IT'S LOOKING LIKE ONE IS COMING SOOOOOON!"

As I took a small break, waiting for my next opponent to come up, I tried to look around for my brother, only to find him at the very top of the stadium, bored out of his mind as he stared at the match we just had.

I attempted to wave at him, but he slowly turned around to talk to two shadowy figures who I immediately recognized.

"Interesting… I guess I'll ask them about it later,"
