Chapter 137 - 137: Second Round

[author: I'm adding more Familia and more things.....]

"Let's welcome the next fighters for the second round! In the left corner, we have Beeeelllll Craaannneeeelll!!"

After Ye Han finishes his statement. But no one spoke a word as they don't know who this adventurer is, meanwhile in the God and Goddesses location. Hestia was cheering him with joyful expression, while Loki sneered as she said

"Oy! Loli Big-boobs, your Familia looks so weak. I wonder if that little boy can even make it semi-final."

"Hmph! Loki no bȯȯbs! You're just stupid!"

"What did you just say?!"

Loki and Hestia aggressively grab the enemy's cheek as the other gods and goddess felt the urge to bet on who will succumb first, Ada just shakes her head as she continues to watch the arena. Ye Han coughs as he continued his statement.

"*cough* Bell Cranel is a member of the Hestia's Familia! Though he looks so thin and fragile, he might be the dark horse of the battle!!"

Bell frantically looks at Ye Han who made the combatants more motivated and had the urge to battle bell, Ye Han smirk as he continues to read the list while speaking.

"In the right corner, we have an adventurer from another city. From Odin's Familia! We have Ogmund Gunnarsson!"

"OOOOOH!! WAAAA!!!" -Ogmund

Ogmund shouted out his warcry as he holds a giant ax, Bell grips his newly bought dagger as his old one broke after going to the dungeon a few more times. Ye Han could see that Ogmund recently level up into level 2 while Bell has improved and reached the peak of level 1. Ogmund had a large body and was like 7 feet tall while Bell was just 5'5 feet, Ye Han shouted

"LET THE MATCH BEGIN!"

Ogmund raises his giant mighty ax as he charges like a bull, Bell could feel the marble floor shaking from the weight of this giant adventurer. He didn't panic as he could feel peace and calm as he runs toward Ogmund, he tried to analyze how Ogmund was gonna attack as Ogmund slashes down his giant ax toward Bell's shoulder. Bell evades as he has a higher agility stat, he could see the marble floor broke as the giant ax get stuck from the ground.

Bell used this time as an advantage as he slashes his dagger toward Ogmund's side stomach, the slash landed successfully. But it only gave Ogmund a very small cut, he laughs as he pushes bell away with just one backhand slap. Bell was pushed away 3 meters before landing onto the ground, Ogmund uses two hands to successfully take the giant ax from the ground. He charges again at a faster speed as Bell was trying to balance himself.

He was dizzy from the strong push which made Ogmund smile as he charges at him. Bell moves slower than before as he raises his dagger and tried to defend the ax that was moving towards him. Bell could only defend as he was push back every hit. The audience could feel the helplessness of Bell while some could feel his determination of not giving up, Hestia was bitting her handkerchief with Bell's scent.

Hestia was very worried as she could see Bell getting large cuts in his body as he tried to defend himself. Bell who was helpless as he defends felt his conscious slowly fading, but his determination and will made him stay conscious in this fight as he shouted in his mind "No, I must keep fighting! I want to be strong!", Ye Han could sense Bell's innate magic which was called Liaris Freese starting to work as it filled Bell with energy and strengthen his body. He spoke as the audience could feel the intensity of the fight.

"Ogmund is crushing it as he hacks and slashes until his opponent gives up. What will bell do?"

Bell who regains his energy felt the dizziness disappear, he moves forward as he slithered dodge the ax that was raised in front of him. Bell hits Ogmund in the chin with all of his strength as Ogmund's jaw didn't successfully absorb all the hit and some of the blow made it to the brain which made him dizzy it was like how Kenichi hits Koga's chin from Kenichi the strongest disciple. Ogmund tried to maintain his balance as he waggles a few steps back.

Bell seeing Ogmund trying to maintain his balance, didn't let his advantage go to waste as he attacks him more in the head. Ogmund failed to grab Bell's multiple attacks as he was hit on the frontal neck which causes his breathing to tighten while he was also hit in the lower cheek which was not tougher than his muscled cheek. The audience roared with excitement and thrill as they shouted

"DARK HORSE! DARK HORSE!!"

Bell who was hitting while Ogmund who was still on the dizzy mode, felt that he had broken through something. He could feel his body strengthen as he moves behind Ogmund and kicks him in the back of his knee which made him bend down. Ogmund who was starting to lose his consciousness, had his face turn reddish as he tried to stand up. He roared with a mighty rage

"AAAAARGGH!!"

Bell backs off as he could feel that his opponent was enraged, Ogmund turned around and charges toward Bell who could feel the heat and immense strength within Ogmund. Bell could only use his agility as an advance and dodge the charge which made Ogmund do a u-turn and continue charging again to Bell who runs away this time as he could feel that if he tries to dodge the attack again with the same tactics. He would be knockoff from the ring.

Ogmund chased Bell like the roadrunner and coyote, Bell ran as fast as he could and hope that the enrage state of his opponent disappear in a few seconds or a few minutes Which he guessed correctly as after a minute. Ogmund slowed down and fainted from a physical concussion and mental fatigue. Ye Han shouted the winner

"THE WINNER FOR THE SECOND ROUND IS BELL CRANEL!! A DARK HORSE IN THIS BATTLE!!!!"

"BELL CRANEL! BELL CRANEL! BELL CRANEL!!"

"DARK HORSE! DARK HORSE!"

Bell who stops running could feel joy in his heart and felt the urge to raise his hand which made the audience cheer louder, in the area of gods and goddesses. Hestia was crying as she cheered happily while Loki grumpily mumbled "That just some dumb luck! Hmph!", Ada and the other gods and goddesses clap their hands as this battle was really entertaining. Meanwhile, in an unknown place, an old man with a large white beard was laughing as he spoke to a young man beside him

"Looks like little Ogy has found a worthy rival..."

"Yes....Indeed! Odin Sama..."
