Chapter 19: Lilildam 8

Morana's powers surprised everyone including Jake, Anna and even Francis.

They could not believe how strong this lazy bum was.

First duels ended fairly quickly and 30 people managed to make it to the next round 3 from each arena. For the next part arenas would be merged. 1st arena would merge with 10th, 2nd with 9th and so on

Morana was in 8th arena so she would have to compete with people from 3rd arena. Samael would have to compete with people from 7th arena.

Jake with people from 2nd arena while, Anna's and Francis's arenas were merged together. Fortunately, they didn't have to face each other yet.

Morana and Francis got first fights Jake and Anna got 2nd while Samael got third.

Morana once again defeated her opponent in a matter of seconds and left the stage in Samael's arms as if nothing happened.

Francis even though didn't have much presence turned out to be quite a strong fighter. He had earth powers and was very good at making golems, his opponent was defeated in minutes.

While everyone else didn't have much problems with their fights, same could not be said for Jake. His opponent was a man in his 40ies or late 30ies, his name was Ajay.

Ajay's dark gray hair has already started to turn white while his long braided beard was almost fully white.

Ajay was also a buff guy just like Jake, so it became a full out power battle with lots of injuries. Jake punched Ajay while the other kicked him and so on.

This kind of heated battle excited the audience the most. More blood the contestants spilled, more they cheered.

The duel continued for more than an hour. Two were having a hard time moving even a muscle.

"Big brother, your punches are getting weaker you okay there? Or have your old bones started to ache already?" Taunted Jake as he received another punch in the face.

"You brat, I will show you what these old bones can do." Said Ajay as he kicked Jake right in the stomach and sent him back flying. "How is it brat?"

"Hmm big bro, nope uncle your punches don't hurt at all, are you trying to win the battle by tickling me to death?" Once again Jake started to get on Ajay's nerves with his mockery as he started another round of 'I punch you kick combo.'

This earned him another round of cheers from the audience.

In the end both Jake and Ajay could no longer move as they laid on the arena unconscious and bloodied.

Neither of them won the match so only 14 people passed this round.

For the next round, they only left three arenas and opponents would be chosen randomly this time there were no more subgroups.

In this round Samael was fighting against Francis in the second battle, Morana was fighting against a guy named Lee in 6th battle and Anna was against a girl named Nona in 7th battle.

Neither Samael nor Francis were much of a talkers', so they just stood on the arena waiting for the signal to begin the match.

Even though Francis was very talented, he was like an ant when compared to Samael. In order not to draw to much attention Samael decided to invade first few attacks and then threw him off the stage using his lightning powers.

Francis knew that Samael was strong but he didn't expect such great difference in power, after he woke up, he was utterly disoriented and discouraged.

Morana's fight was not much different. Even though her opponent could be said to be a prodigy in the lower realm, he was nothing compare to Morana who started cultivation at the age of 4.

Lee had fire and plant dual affinity, he had a strong mysterious background and was taking part in the competition only for fun.

He never expected to meet such a strong opponent moreover, a boy half his age. This took a huge toll on his self-confidence.

Most Surprising part was Anna. She was a very strong mage with double affinity of ice and wind. Her opponent Nora had darkness powers and was peak mortal-ranking warrior.

One could tell from the first look that neither had a simple background. The fighting techniques they used were not normal especially Anna's 'wind sword field'.

This was the last skill she used in order to finish the fight. 'Wind sword field was' an orange ranking technique that created hundreds of wind swords that were invisible before they pierced the opponent the best part about this technique was that it was the growth type.

Meaning, it could evolve as long as the practitioner met all the requirements.

In the end there were only 7 contestants left. The person that caught Morana's attention the most was a kid named Ioannes.

He was 12 years old with short dark blue hair and sky-blue eyes. He was dressed very poorly and looked utterly out of place. When Morana used her seer 's powers to look at the boy what she saw was a beautiful sparkling blue and silver lights mixed with some greens, it gave off a soothing but kind of wild feeling.

Morana felt like she was looking at a beautiful white tiger near the waterfall, somewhere in the forest. It was the first time she saw this many sparkling lights since Samael and even though it could not even measure up to the forth of what Samael had, it was still surprising that someone in the lower realm had this kind of power.

Morana knew right away that boy was special and decided to keep an eye on him.

As seven was not an even number, some lucky guy would skip the fight this time and that lucky guy turned out to be Anna.

When Morana found out about this she looked at Anna with envy.

[master, don't worry soon you will have better luck.] Hearing Jolly's words Morana's mood really turned better and she no longer looked at Anna as her greatest enemy.

Morana's next opponent was a guy named Ryan, that could not be described as anything other than weird. He was about 5.7 feet tall had short purple hair and lime-colored eyes.

The guy had a habit of thinking out loud constantly more precisely mumble whatever he was thinking nonstop. This would have not been much of a problem if literally everyone there didn't have super good hearing.

"Ahh and now this bastard pared me up with this shorty. He does have pinchable cheeks, maybe I should take advantage of the fight and pinch them a few times."

Or

"Ahh the audience is so annoyingly loud, I wonder if the store will still have strawberry cakes left after the competition."

Or

"Why is that guy always carrying you everywhere, acting all high and mighty. Such a brat."

Well you could say the guy has a character. Unfortunately for him Morana didn't appreciate this and this was the quickest she finished the match with a complete KO.

The last four people still in the competition were Samael, Morana, Anna and Ioannes.

To Morana's surprise Ioannes turned out to be even stronger than she expected and defeated Anna in a matter of seconds.

While Samael just forfeited his match as he had no plan to fight against Morana, he was just here to accompany her for some fun after all.

And so, to everyone's surprise two least expected contestants a lazy bun and poor bun were the once competing in the finals.
