I Become A Mob Character In A Novel

[Samael Ashwood's POV]

The announcer's voice cut through the air again. "Next match—Raven versus Theo Blyer!"

I turned my attention back to the arena, excitement bubbling within me. Raven stepped forward, her calm and composed demeanour contrasting sharply with the boisterous energy of the crowd. She was a force of nature, and I had no doubt she would show everyone just what she was capable of.

Theo Blyer, a stocky competitor with a reputation for Earth Magic, lumbered into the centre of the arena. He had a broad chest and arms like tree trunks, a stark contrast to Raven's lithe and agile frame. The crowd murmured in anticipation, some favoring the brute strength of Theo over Raven's finesse.

As they squared off, the announcer raised his hand, and the crowd fell silent. "Let the battle begin!"

"Earth Magic: Rock Barrage!"

Theo bellowed, slamming his fists into the ground. A series of jagged boulders erupted from beneath, hurtling toward Raven like cannonballs. The crowd gasped, the tension palpable in the air.

Cheap trick~

"Dark Magic: Coiling Shadows!"

Raven exclaimed, her voice steady despite the chaos around her. As the boulders rushed forward, dark tendrils spiralled from her outstretched hands, wrapping around the incoming projectiles and absorbing their energy. The earth-shattering roar of Theo's attack was swallowed by the murmur of astonished spectators.

With a fluid motion, she redirected the shadows back toward Theo, transforming the coiling darkness into a whip-like tendril that lashed out at him. He barely managed to sidestep, the shadow grazing his shoulder, leaving behind a chilling reminder of Raven's power.

"Nice try!" Theo growled, his bravado still intact despite the near miss. He shifted his stance, digging his heels into the ground. "But you'll have to do better than that!"

"Watch and learn!" Raven shot back, her confidence radiating like a beacon.

"Dark Magic: Darkness Cries!" Raven announced, her voice cutting through the tension like a knife. With a swift motion, she slammed her hands into the ground, drawing forth a massive well of dark energy. The arena seemed to hold its breath as a deep rumble resonated beneath us, the earth quaking with the potency of her magic.

The ground split open, forming a gaping crater that radiated an ominous aura. From its depths, a swirling tornado of shadows erupted, spiralling upward and gathering momentum as it roared toward Theo, who stood wide-eyed in shock.

"Uh-oh…" he muttered, the bravado draining from his face as the darkness surged forward, an embodiment of Raven's raw power.

"Earth Magic: Fortress!" He barely managed to call out, a desperate attempt to shield himself as thick walls of rock and earth surged around him, forming a protective barrier against the incoming tempest.

But Raven's magic was relentless. The tornado collided with the fortress, sending shards of stone flying in all directions. The ground trembled under the force of the impact, and the crowd erupted into a cacophony of gasps and cheers.

Raven pressed her advantage, her eyes glinting with determination. "You can't hide behind your earth forever, Theo!" She pointed, her voice commanding, "Tornado of Shadows!"

With a flick of her wrist, the dark tornado split into smaller, whirling spirals that darted toward the cracks in his fortress, snaking through the gaps and surrounding him. The shadows tightened, constricting around him, forcing Theo to fight with every ounce of strength he had.

"Get off me!" he shouted, grunting as he struggled against the encroaching darkness. He punched outward, his fists cracking the dark tendrils but not breaking free.

"Just admit it, Theo! I'm stronger!" Raven declared, her voice ringing with confidence as she intensified her control over the shadows. The energy pulsed, drawing on the collective fear and awe of the audience, feeding her power.

"Earth Magic: Stone Golem!" In a last-ditch effort, Theo conjured a massive figure made of solid rock, its eyes glowing with a fierce light. The golem lumbered forward, its heavy fists raised to strike.

Raven's eyes widened, but she didn't falter. "Dark Magic: Shadow Serpent!" She unleashed a serpentine mass of darkness that lunged at the golem, the two forces colliding in a breathtaking display of power.

The arena shook violently as the golem's fists met the shadowy serpent, both combatants fighting for dominance. The crowd was on the edge of their seats, breaths held tight in anticipation of who would emerge victorious.

"Come on, Raven!" I shouted, my heart racing as the battle reached a fever pitch. I believed in her; she had the skill and tenacity to turn this fight around.

The clash between the golem and the serpent created a storm of energy that illuminated the arena. The air crackled with magic, and for a moment, it felt as if time stood still, suspended in the chaotic beauty of their duel.

Then, with a fierce scream of determination, Raven focused all her will on the serpent, its body surging forward with renewed vigour. "You can't withstand the darkness!"

The serpent coiled around the golem, squeezing tighter until cracks began to form in its rocky exterior. With a final surge of power, Raven released an explosive wave of darkness, and the golem shattered, pieces flying in every direction.

"Raven wins!" the announcer's voice boomed, barely audible over the roars of the crowd.

I jumped to my feet, adrenaline coursing through me as the arena erupted in applause and cheers for Raven. She stood triumphant, dark energy dissipating around her like smoke after a storm, a victorious smile lighting up her face. Her poise was captivating; she had not just defeated Theo but done so with grace and undeniable power.

I joined the crowd in their frenzy, feeling a rush of pride swell within me. This was more than just a match; it was a declaration of her strength, her resilience. Raven had proven herself not only to the spectators but to herself as well.

As the dust settled and the announcer continued to praise her victory, I couldn't help but notice the glimmer in Raven's eyes—a mix of exhilaration and relief. I knew that battling against someone with Theo's raw strength had pushed her limits, and she had come out on top.

"Liliana go, you are done with your fight. Go check on Raven in the resting area." I said to Liliana, who had been watching the match with rapt attention. She nodded, her eyes still wide with excitement.

"Good idea, Samael. I want to congratulate her!" she exclaimed, her enthusiasm palpable as she made her way through the throng of spectators, weaving toward the resting area.

As I turned my attention back to the arena, I caught sight of Theo trudging away, frustration evident on his face. Though he had given it his all, he couldn't match Raven's skill and ingenuity. It was a harsh lesson in humility, but one that would undoubtedly shape his future battles.

"Next up—Sionna versus Stacy Vermillion!"

The announcer's voice echoed across the arena, pulling my focus back to the present.

"Sionna, it's your turn now," I said to Sionna who was standing beside me with her head lowered and fidgeting with the pendant.

"Ah! Hmm~ Y-Yes it's my t-turn." Sionna took a deep breath, her nerves palpable as she stepped forward, her long indigo hair swaying gently with her movements.

I stepped forward and pulled her back in my arms as I whispered in her ears, "If you win this match, I will let you kiss me as much as you want for a whole month~"

A healthy blush crept onto Sionna's cheeks at my words, and she looked up at me with wide, surprised eyes. "Samael! That's… that's not fair!" she protested, though her tone was playful, and a smile began to break through her nervousness.

"Fair or not, it's a good incentive," I replied, grinning down at her. "Just focus on your match, and the prize will be waiting for you if you win."

With a determined nod, she stepped out of my embrace, and the confidence in her stride renewed. I felt a swell of pride watching her. She had always looked up to me, but I hoped she would now realize her own strength.

As Sionna entered the arena, I could see her scanning the crowd, perhaps looking for me. I raised my hand in encouragement, and she caught my gaze, a small smile tugging at her lips. I knew this match meant more to her than just the competition; it was an opportunity to prove herself.

"Begin!"

Just as the announcer called for the match to start, Stacy Vermillion stepped forward, a smirk on her lips. She was known for her swift movements and keen strategy, and her reputation as a fierce competitor was well-deserved. Sionna and Stacy stood opposite each other, the tension crackling in the air.

"Fire Magic: Brust Wheel!"

Stacy immediately unleashed her attack, the fiery wheels spinning towards Sionna like blazing chariots. The crowd gasped at the sudden intensity of the match.

"Water Magic: Mist Shield!"

Sionna reacted instinctively, her voice steady despite the heat of the flames rushing toward her. A thick mist enveloped her, rising like a protective barrier. The wheels of fire collided with the mist, hissing and steaming, but the shield held strong, absorbing the impact.

The arena erupted in cheers as Sionna stood firm, her confidence growing as she witnessed the effectiveness of her defence. "Nice try, Stacy!" she called out, her voice carrying through the arena. "But you'll have to do better than that!"

Stacy's smirk faltered for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure. "Fire Magic: Firestorm!" She thrust her arms forward, and flames swirled violently in a whirlwind of heat and fury, spiralling toward Sionna.

Sionna's eyes widened, but she didn't falter. "Water Magic: Aqua Vortex!" With a swift motion, she conjured a spiralling torrent of water, which clashed with the firestorm. The two forces collided, creating a spectacular explosion of steam and light that filled the arena, causing the spectators to shield their eyes.

As the steam cleared, Sionna emerged, her hair shimmering with droplets of water, and she took a deep breath, her heart racing. "I can do this," she whispered to herself, focusing on the power within her.

"Let's see how long you can keep that up!" Stacy taunted, clearly unshaken by the spectacle.

"Water Magic: Wave Crash!" Sionna responded, summoning a massive wave that surged toward Stacy with unrelenting force. The arena was filled with the roar of rushing water as the waves crashed down, creating a breathtaking sight.

Stacy's eyes widened in surprise, but she quickly reacted. "Fire Magic: Scorching Barrier!" She slammed her hands down, summoning a wall of fire to counter the wave. The two elements collided, sending up a plume of steam and debris, obscuring both competitors momentarily.

The crowd erupted in cheers and gasps, but I could see the determination etched on Sionna's face. She was learning and adapting quickly, drawing on her training and innate abilities.

As the steam cleared, Stacy emerged with a fiery glare. "Is that all you've got? You'll need to bring more than just water to beat me!"

Sionna's confidence wavered for a moment, but she shook her head, banishing her doubts. "I won't give up!" She channelled her energy, her eyes sparkling with determination. "Water Magic: Healing Rain!"

Drops of shimmering water began to fall from her fingertips, enveloping her in a gentle glow. The healing rain revitalized her, washing away fatigue and fear, and allowing her to push past her limits. I felt a swell of pride watching her embrace her power.

"Now it's my turn! Water Magic: Tempest Torrent!" Sionna raised her arms, summoning a massive wave of water that surged forward like a tidal wave, aimed directly at Stacy.

"Fire Magic: Flame Shield!" Stacy countered, but the sheer force of Sionna's torrent proved overwhelming. The wave crashed against the barrier, and with a final, earth-shaking roar, it shattered the flames, engulfing Stacy in a cascade of water.

Stacy stumbled backwards, shock and surprise written all over her face as she struggled to regain her footing. The crowd gasped collectively, the tide of the battle turning in Sionna's favour.

"Finish this, Sionna!" I shouted, my voice rising above the noise.

"Water Magic: Riptide!" Sionna called out, channelling her energy into the wave as it curled and crashed toward Stacy with renewed ferocity.

The tidal wave swept over Stacy, engulfing her entirely, and the arena erupted into a frenzy of cheers and applause.

As the dust settled and the waters receded, Sionna stood tall, her chest heaving but her expression fierce with determination. The announcer's voice rang out across the arena. "Sionna wins!"

I couldn't contain my excitement, jumping up from my seat, pride swelling in my chest. Sionna had not only fought bravely but had proven her strength and resilience against a formidable opponent.

As she walked toward me, I rushed to meet her halfway, pulling her into a tight embrace. "You did it! I knew you could!" I exclaimed, my heart racing with pride.

Sionna blushed, a radiant smile breaking across her face. "Thanks, Samael! I couldn't have done it without your encouragement."

"Now, about that prize…" I teased, pulling back to meet her gaze, her cheeks still tinged with pink.
