Chapter 1283: Cap 1281: War Tournament Part 2

Pov Xagar:

Shortly after the presentations of the 2 responsible for the tournament and the announcement of the rules, the tournament officially begins.

There are hundreds of participants, everyone here has gone through qualifiers like mine, but I shouldn't get too confident, I can feel some strong presences among them, I don't think I'll be able to reach the Top 10 without resorting to the power of my blessing, which I need to avoid the maximum as possible.

While he is lost in thought, the fights started, some people were transported and as soon as this happened above the domes where the arenas were, holograms appear revealing the inside of the domes.

Some arenas were rocky mountains, some were forests, others swamps and even a region of ice cliffs, there was even a region in the middle of the ocean with tiny islands and another that was the interior of a volcano.

Each arena was different from the other, I can understand when they announced that some people might gain an advantage or fall into a disadvantage depending on the arena, it all seems more like a game of luck.

At least I won't be negatively affected in any of the arenas, I won't be positively affected either, everything will depend on me.

This part of the tournament will be decided by points, each victory will score 1 point, there will be 6 fights in total taking place today and tomorrow, after that they will announce the list of people moving on to the next stage of the tournament.

A guarantee of advancing will be winning all 6 fights, but even if I lose 1 time I still have a chance while losing 2 times I don't know if I'll be able to achieve it.

I try to look at the people participating this time, none of them were Fiona, but I discovered a Dragonewt that I recognize, it was one of Barok's subordinates, it looks like it's not just me and Fiona on this mission.

But all my thoughts stop when I look at the ice arena, the two competitors were at the bottom of an ice cliff facing each other, I recognized one of them from my past, the same one I saw while the organizers were speaking earlier.

He is an old friend, we grew up together surrounded by people with faith in the God of Light, just like me his faith was unshakable, but his heart was not capable of staying in just one place and being in an organized hierarchy, that's why we separated , with me joining the Army of Light while he became an Adventurer.

At that time we were young and foolish, but he was always slow to learn things, because of that he grew up with great prejudices against most races, especially the Demons who he blames for everything bad that happens, an easy target to mark.

It surprised me that he saw me now, I'm not entirely sure if he recognizes me, I don't know if the Church of Light spread news about me or if he recognizes me, maybe he just doesn't like me because I'm a Demon.

He is a Half Elf, his long blond hair and bright blue eyes have always been a symbol of his beauty, but his serious face and well-trained body show that it doesn't just depend on his appearance.

The fight as expected ended quickly, his sword glowed white as his arm disappeared with his speed it was easy to cut him into pieces.

I just saw him kill his opponent before leaving via teleporting one of his participant tokens.

"(I hope I don't have to face you, old friend...)" (I)

In those days I shared the same beliefs as him and perhaps that's why I wasn't able to notice what we were becoming, just a reflection that his prejudice against other races had diminished.

---------------

After waiting a round of fights I got my chance to fight, my opponent was a woman, she had a horrified face with wide eyes.

She wasn't even looking at me but at her surroundings, she was so helpless that it was pitiful to see.

She could clearly tell that her specialty was Ice magic, because there was a Fairy on her shoulder with wings similar to snowflakes, but the place in this Arena was very impossible for him.

I didn't even need to say anything, I just waited, Fada came out and already seemed to be on the verge of collapse, I looked around a little, we were inside the crater of a volcano, the heat here was surreal.

"(The fight was over before it even started.)" (I)

I could see the doubt in her eyes before she looked at me giving up the fight before the first blow was even thrown.

As soon as I left the arena back to my business with other competitors, I was taken back to an arena and this time it was a real mess of sand in this horrible desert.

My opponent this time was a Dragonewt, from the color of his scales and the little I felt of his Aura, he looks like a warrior.

Without saying anything he starts towards me, his weapons in his hands, I try to grab his wrist, but as soon as I tried to do something like that a wave of energy like waves forced my body back.

I already had my sword in my hand when I passed by the man who respected others before this fight actually started.

lightsnvl While he was distracted, I focused my Demonic energy into my fingers before moving to my blade.

With this Demonic Energy in my blade I cut the energy around his scales and when I was thinking about cutting his defenses for a direct hit his wings grow pushing me away.

I landed on my feet for half a second before I saw a wall of water measuring dozens of meters coming towards me, but instead of being scared I was excited and I could already feel it moving within the wave.

I stand still and wait and at the moment of impact all my Demonic energy is transferred to the sword that absorbs my Demonic energy.

"< Great Demon Sword >" (I)

"< Giant Splitter >" (I)

My sword that I hold with both hands becomes more injured as a giant sword forms using my normal sword as a base.

As soon as this is ready I almost instantly followed up with a slash of this sword at high speed, all my muscles creaking from such an attack which had a very good result.

I thought this Dragonewt would be more difficult, but now it seems hilarious, his attacks are strong and he seems to have great potential, but I could still see his immaturity as a combatant.

My previous cut cut his wave of water in a single cut as well as taking off a leg and an arm that was moving inside the wave waiting for me from a place he believes to be safe.

I broke his hopes along with the loss of 2 of his limbs, when the water fell I saw him lying on the floor unconscious clearly due to the pain of losing an arm and a leg, this is unfortunate seeing him act like this.

I don't feel sympathy for him since it would be rude of me as the one who defeated him to try to comfort him, besides his injuries can be healed and his amputated limbs can be put back in place.

With that I've already won 2 of my 3 fights today, not counting tomorrow's, but that's already a good thing, there are 2 people I really don't want to face in this tournament, they are Fiona and my old friends.

After I left I needed to wait a few more minutes before being called once again, this time I was in a dark place, but I was still able to see things almost naturally, the Eyes of a Demon adapt better to dark places than in brighter places this allowed me to see where it is, I'm in a maze I can even understand.

I kept looking until I found several monsters as well as several types of traps that I almost fell into.

Not knowing what I should do, I had to resort to something I didn't want to use right now, so let's get this over with quickly.

"< Demonic Summoning Magic: Killer Wolf >" (I)

"I quit!"

Suddenly I could hear a voice, which by the way was my opponent giving up, but it was just a deception to make me lower my guard, I quickly turned around finding a Gray High Elf using a dagger, I could feel spiritual energy emanating from his body as the dagger in his hand had a strange presence.

Because of that, I kicked him in the stomach, which only gave him the opportunity to grab my leg, forcing me to spin, which he reciprocated by using the speed of my spin to kick me in the face, which he could against the wall of the maze.n(-In

I thought I had won, but that was my carelessness when I noticed the shattered face of the opponent I thought I had won proving to be just a fake.

"(Where are you.)" (I)

While thinking of something to deal with this bastard, I waited until the right moment and reached behind me, when I pulled my hand out it was holding his neck.

"I GIVE UP!"

With that he was also eliminated, with that I already won all my matches today, now I only need the 3 fights tomorrow to guarantee my entry into the final.
