Chương 65: Chapter 65 - Beast Mages Tournament.
Wolves, Crocodiles, Bears, Cats, Snakes and Wild Rats," Shawn counted the animals he had sent.
"These are the creatures that I sent into the beast continent so I wonder what the current politics is,"
"All these animals are wearing robes!"
"I definitely missed too much of their evolution!"
The outer ring of the tournament was made by mud blocks used to serve as a seats for all spectators while the inner ring was just surrounded by a large wall.
Sparks began to appear in the inner ring which was the arena by the time the sparks began connecting together making noises before a female wolf with a red cloak covering her head appeared.
"Greetings, great clans of the continent! I am your host Ulmer from the wolf clan"
Mana stones laid below her and voice boomed into the ears of the spectators.
A loud round of applause and cheers followed after her appearance.
"Just the amount of power to use to appear on stage like that, it's one of the reasons why she's called the sparkling mage,"
"Truly, plus she's one of the winners of the great tournament,"
But of course, there were always those who are salty.
"A sparkling wolf mage, she might be strong but the way she uses her mana is just wasteful,"
"You've always got a problem with strong females,"
Not caring in the small talks going among the crowd, Ulmer continued to speak with a clear voice.
"You are welcomed to this once in every ten years event. The fifteenth great tournament that will be between the young mana prodigies of each of the beast clans"
She then raised one of her fingers waving it around while saying "But before we get to the main event. It will be wise for us to discuss the history of this tournament,"
She waved her paw now called hand as blue sparks flew out of it and began sparkling in mid air.
"As you all know or have been told, long before the time of the tournaments, our clans were at odds with one another. Always willing to exert domainance over the other leading in what is known as the fifty years war"
"Even the effects of the war are still felt in today's date of a hundred and fifty years. And so in order for us to peacefully and needfully not slaughter each other to prove whose more powerful our leaders of then agreed to allow the clans to compete with their strongest prodigies"
"And with that note, I will like to thank the heads of the various clans for attending this event" She said with a bow to the figures standing some distance away from her.
"Now without further ado, the competition will start right away. Glories to the best winners!"
A large number of now humanoid animals all covered in cloaked approached the arena.
Each of them held a small mana stone in their hands and dropped it at the edge of the ring before performing a series of hand movements as blue flashes of light shot out of their hands and entered the stones.
The glow from the mana stones became larger and larger until the glow had finally reached a point and gently took the shape of a dome.
Ulmer now moved outside the ring continued to host "This mana barrier allows everything other than mana attacks into or out of its area of reach. So if participants are knocked out of it they lose and as we all know, death is not feasible here,"
A huge leather bag filled with stones was brought to her and she placed her hand in it without looking before pulling out one "And the first we have is the Wild Rats warrior mage who is said to possess his power in his tail and known as Tail Mage"
A large rat the size of a tall human male gently walked into the dome with its squibbly feet and a pink tail that looked somewhat heavy.
Ulmer placed her hand into the bag again and after seeing the name on it, she continued "His opponent is the red headed wolf Rolfgar who has only one eye to see but has extreme power in his paws and one of the most sensitive mana users among the new Wolf clan generation."
A silver coloured wolf with red hair standing on it's two feet while donned in leather armor entered the barrier with a look of scorn and disgust at his opponent set to match him.
The Tail Mage looked at him with a haughty gaze.
"While I do not admire your look of disdain. I do wish to know what made you grin like that," The Witcher smiled with his tail began wobbling as he talked.
"I'll let you know, that I simply do not like a creature like you that smells so horrible," Rolfgar retorted.
From a mile away, five figures, all donned in robes had their eyes set at the match that was about to start.
"Rolfgar looks decent even with one eye, I've heard of his achievements from many of my subordinates about how he defeated rogues trying to disrupt the peace" said one the Bear clan lord who had blue fur and was dressed in brown robes making Shawn gasp at the absurdity as well as the irony.
"It is also a nice way to gauge just how strong these clan fighters are or how far their clans have fallen" said the Crocodile clan lord whose mouth moved and closed in a quick snap.
The Rat Clan lord who had a long tail rubbing his back that was not covered by his purple robe looked at him for a while and then turned back to face the match.
"Begin," Ulmer gave the signal.
Having no interest in prolonging the fight, Rolfgar immediately stretched his paws and started shooting out mana blasts from them raising dust from the side of his opponent before rushing forward with a leap and then conjuring a sword arc which he slashed at the unsettled dust.
"Ohh did I also mention that his bones are also toughened to that of a P.E user?" Ulmer felt the urge to pull out her hair that was still covered by a cloak.
But Rolfgar still did not leave or turn away from the area he was in.
With furrowed eyebrows, his eyes searched earnestly for a surprise attack.
"Ahh, you didn't even consider me an opponent and just wanted a quick victory" said a deep voice.
The dust began to settle to reveal the Tail Mage still unscathed and unfazed by any of the attacks he had released.
"I approve of your sensitivity. Any other fool would have thought they wonvand leave room for an attack"
"However, no matter how powerful you are, I'll make you regret looking down on me!"
No more words needed to be said before the tail of the wild rat suddenly grew in length.
"Hmph do you think a tail is going to…"
If not for his quick sensitivity he would have failed to notice the large amounts of black goo that were heading towards him.
He shut his palms together and then released them while pushing out a large blast of mana that collided with the black goo.
To his expectation, the collision from the force pushed the rest of the attacks away from him.
When the black goo landed on the ground it began to make sizzling noises making Rolfgar freeze in the spot.
"Lucky you, if you had collided with it, you would have been you sizzling by now. The Tail Mage grinned,"
Surprisingly, the colour of his tail had changed from pink to black and when he waved it again, it turned pink but now with green stripes.
It waved it's tail again but instead of changing colour, a trail of green gooey like liquid separated from the tail, aimed at the wolf.
"Not on my face!" Rolfgar began shooting out blasts of mana.
"Does he have a poisoned tail?" said the Bear Clan Lord with raised bushy eyebrows.
The Rat Clan Lord scoffed at this and replied "He only learnt how to use mana to carve out poison from his body,"
Meanwhile, Rolfgar was beginning to lose track against the tail's attack. With each goo the tail shot out, the less time is used in shooting the next.
When he had finally had enough, he decided to take the risk and shot out a blast towards the ground stirring up dust in the process.
The sound of blasts hitting the ground was starting to mess with the Tail mage's focus as Rolfgar used the medium of the stirred dust to close the distance while also avoiding gooey blasts.
"Almost!" he said as he shot out the last mana blast before leaping towards the rat, a blue coating covered his paw as he aimed at his opponent's face.
Tail mage's vision was suddenly met with a figure appearing out of the dust and then landing a blow on his face.
Then he heard the explosion and before he knew it, he was sent to the edge of the barrier.
