บท 64: Boring
Contrary to Bizinda's beliefs, the wretch showed up to watch the fight the day after, she had seen him since he seemed intent on reminding her of their deal and since he had then sped away in the direction of an empty private room (hers), as indicated by the blur he left behind.
'He's way faster than before...' she could barely see where he had gone, not only due to the fact that he was fast as hell but also because he didn't lift any dust, caused any air movement and such.
It was like he turned incorporeal whenever he decided to start running.
The servants he ran by where none the wiser due to those facts too, was he not as weak as a child, it would have been even more concerning.
As for the sun-walking vampire, she just prepared to get flattened for the next few minutes or so, she made her way into the arena, a physical as well as magical gate closing behind her as she laid eyes on the Third Minister, Sovereign Of Flesh wasn't nearly the most impressive physically.
She certainly was huge, taller than the average man and much wider.
Her fleshy texture, looking like the body of a person having been skinned until the muscles were exposed was unsettling enough but not something one could notice from afar.
She had the exact shape of a magnificient, perfectly symmetrical pumpkin, no limbs of any sort or any other typical organs could be seen anywhere on her surface, making most of the spectators feel curious about what such a monster could have to offer to be the elite of a monster army.
Bizinda knew very well, she breathed in and out, although it was wholly unnecessary for an undead like her, but old habits die hard, she still did the movement when stressed.
Fully geared up, she held a halberd elegantly, there was a red gem embedded in the head of her weapon, meant to empower any blood-related attack used by her.
She let some of her blood seep out of her veins, gathering it around the halberd as Sovereign Of Flesh stood perfectly still.
Vampires blood, the one coursing through their very veins was typically the strongest they could possibly have in their possession, this was the case for the sun-walking vampire, she had to show she was really trying her best here.
Not only was it the strongest they had, it was also basically free to use, skilled vampires could go without blood in them for weeks no problem and just drinking from any peasant would replenish it.
With a single swing, which almost touched the ground, the floor erupted with boiling blood, much more than what had been used as the eruption quickly made its way to the minister.
This was the result of a battle art, a great but under appreciated tool that was generally seen as lesser than just using an energy source, pretty much for the same reason chants where rarely seen.
They were easy to see coming due to the movements/words needed for it to work out, this art though, was fairly lowkey in preparation, in terms of choreography at least.
She followed suit with more classing blood slashes as she moved out of her position, just as expected, even after a humongous pillar of boiling blood engulfed her for dozens of seconds, Sovereign was as fresh as before.
Only after demonstrating that Bizinda had done no damage whatsoever, was it time for the minister to show her strength, she moved.
To everyone's surprise, she was malleable, very much so, moving made her look like a big water ballon as she hopped a slight bit forward, a movement no adventurer could mistake.
"It's a fucken' slime!" cried out someone, sounding like his mind had been blown to pieces by the sudden revelation.
Not only that a slime that was made flesh, but still had the same consistency as your regular slime.
Even as her whole body shook as if she was a jelly having been firmly slapped, Soevereign Of Flesh maintained her pumpking shape, right before leaping high up in the air, colliding with the unseen magical barrier way up above the arena and redirecting the force, bouncing right back down.
Flattening like a pancake and shattering the ground, leaving nothing but a stain where Bizinda had stood after the minister hopped away.
Quickly enough, the stain started moving and shaped itself into the sun-walking vampire, with armor and weapon but with a scrunched up face, not quite enjoying the feeling of being utterly crushed, for once, she wasn't liking the fact that her undeath didn't include completely numbed nerves.
This was to happen a few more times, when it was done, she feinted struggling to reform and that was that, one staged fight out of the way.
One thing the first two fights did that wasn't planned but certainly to be expected, was that now, the othercompetitors felt like they could actually get away with their lives intact, they had spared two of them after all!
'Sweet summer children' this was what thought Undying Prophet after the fight was over and he heard of this unfortunate misconception.
Thankfully, his opponent wasn't one to hope for such foolish things, he understood that death was an integral part of any fight.
Thinking about this with a dangerous, yet childish-looking smirk, the orc lifted his head to see another of the minister having suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Axio! I didn't even notice you, impressive, wou-" cutting him off instantly, the wretch just started pacing around.
"No, I am just here to remind you that I placed you against that Jareld guy despite not having to, so I hoped you would grant a wish of mine" he cut to the chase, the orc didn't mind his direct attitude in the least.
He had already expected that the crafty wretch would come with a demand after seeing that he had been placed against who he had wanted.
"Is it the same things you have been asking from everyone? Because I am gathering forces in another land? That is no problem!" he shouted while puffing out his chest.
"Yes, there is that but also..." he whispered the next part, making the orc raise an eyebrow at the very peculiar demand but seeing no problem with it, he agreed.
After receiving confirmation, Axiolypito sped off without wishing luck for Undyin Prophet's next fight or saying goodbye.
