Chapter 104 - Nehand And Ehione (part 2)

NOW IT IS "EDITED"

Kashka is a relatively short male zerg beta at 1.70m (557,74 ft) but with a strong, muscular body, he was known as the King of Iron Fists. He had voluminous black curly hair and light brown eyes, like milk chocolates. His lips were a darker shade of pink and he had a round, scrunched nose, which made his face look funny, making the whole ensemble look like a nice man.

However, it was undeniable that when Kashka smiled in the midst of battle, he looked more terrifying than sympathetic.

Nassor, on the other hand, is an alpha with a fierce and frightening appearance, he had a deep cut on his lips that had left a scar cutting through his lower lip, like the cut of a knife. The big eyes and dark irises made everything even darker, the long and messy hair gave a wild aura to the man of 2.00m (6,56 ft) tall.

The story of Nassor and Kashka is a mystery, they are strong enough to be part of the army or even the imperial guard, especially at this time of war where all men and women with strong physical abilities were being recruited and had the possibility even of gaining titles of nobility if they made military conquests.

However, there was Nassor a powerful Alpha, and Kashka a talented beta being kings of the underground.

Nehand who also had her own hidden story didn't ask much about her friends' stories, although she occasionally heard some sad accounts of when they were children and how sometimes battles raged in the city they lived in childhood. 

They shook hands and sat down to look at new challenges and some old acquaintances. The prize of the day was a few thousand Kwanza, not much for Nehand who had that kind of money as a small investment in some stores she had outside the capital.

Of course, for Kashka and Nassor this was welcome money, whatever they did with that money, as Nehand didn't know how the two of them lived. Taking into account that they made good money from the bets and sometimes won the big prize, even so, they were here almost always present in the underground arena.

"Boys, I don't want the prize, I just want that guy over there. So be nice and let me fight him." Nehand now as Nadira, asked the two men as Ehione's face appeared from the screen before them as he entered the arena for the first battle.

"He is very strong?" Kashka asked curiously, as Nadira never preferred anyone as an opponent.

"It's possible," Nadira said with a little disdain, she imagined that Ehione being from the imperial family should be a decent fighter, but her real motive was just to step on that imperial pride of his.

"Oh, I want to see that," Nassor said grumbling as Ehione's fight began. Of course, it was an easy victory for Ehione, using only his fists. Nassor and Kashka looked pleasantly at the figure of the crown prince and thought they would have a fourth underground king.

"He looks good, but I think our queen will make him dance with her whip," Kashka said with an evil laugh.

"I thought you would use the shield to further humiliate the man" Nassor commented looking at the wall in the room that had some interesting weapons.

"Maybe I'll use them both for complete humiliation," Nadira said with a little better humor.

Nadira turned out to be right, Ehione won ten straight victories and was being cheered by the crowd in the stands.

Ehione didn't even use any weapons, his black skin glistening with sweat, his muscular arms exposed as he wore sleeveless, lightweight clothing that allowed him movement in the arena.

The audience in the stands went wild when Nadira, known as The Queen1, to Ehione appeared on the plasma screen. Bookmakers started to receive several bets online at the same time that the system almost crashed. The line of betting with real money increased accordingly.

As always in the world, there are those who adhere to the ease of technology and skeptical people who prefer to take the cash and deposit it in the bank in person or they liked the animations in the lines of the bookmakers.

Ehione felt suddenly nervous, not that he thought he was going to lose to Nadira, but he felt nervous for another reason, perhaps a little embarrassed by his previous attitude.

In the short 10-minute break, when Ehione was refueling with energy drinks to regain more stamina, he had decided that in order to apologize to Nadira. He wants to be in the best fighting conditions to face Nadira with his full capacity, that would be a sign of respect and would also serve to not offend the woman even more.

Energizers were created for people in the army who cannot leave the Mechas to eat, especially when they are on guard duty on the battlefield, these drinks could nourish the body in less than 10 minutes and recover 50% of the Mecha combatant's stamina.

Ehione took the drink to make sure he was 100% ready to fight Nadira.

"Good luck queen," Kashka said smiling as she patted Nadira on the shoulder.

"I think he'll be the one who needs luck." Nassor smiled at Nadira as he said this, but she just smiled confidently at the two kings of the underground and went on to climb the stairs to the arena.

When the grandstand audience saw Nadira's entrance, they applauded and made a big noise, even the online audience sent lots of hearts and paid to expose his favoritism to the Queen.

Arena battles were broadcast in private rooms using satellites from large companies, which secretly sponsored this type of entertainment.

Of course, the government had a basic understanding of that, but as long as they weren't a threat to this time of war, they wouldn't momentarily bother with that kind of entertainment.

But the case of underground battle arenas that bet the fighter's life was banned and investigated by the government, so Ehione when hearing from Nadira about this type of arena had the thought of sending an investigation team to those sides.

For five minutes the arena screens were full of hearts and praise for Nadira, she didn't mind too much and greeted everyone waving and smiling.

Ehione stood on the other side of the arena watching the tall woman waving to the crowd and being cheered. Her beauty was youthful and she seemed to shine to everyone, even to him Nadira looked brilliant.

"Have you come to teach me a lesson?" Ehione asked even though he knew the answer.

"No, I came gives you the chance to step into this poor and fragile omega taking the title of king of the underground" Nadira said pointing to herself. The smile that once had sympathy and sweetness was now dangerous, like a tiger seeing its weak prey.

"Well, I won't hold back," Ehione said, abandoning all courtesy and putting himself in an attacking position, he would start with the simplest boxing and from what happened he would evolve his battle techniques.

"Oh, as I am such a fragile omega, would you allow me to use a weapon to stand a chance against you, oh mighty Alpha?" Nadira said taking the whip from her waist.

The whip with black scales, but at the end of the scales there was a red aura, this was three and a half meters (11,48 ft) long and not very thick.

Ehione felt his lips tremble, he didn't know whether to laugh at Nadira's blasé attitude or curse the shameless action of the omega woman.

However, for Ehione, even if Nadira used weapons, he could still win, he was sure he was faster than Nadira could have in perception and strength with the whip.

"No problem," Ehione said and soon a small tablet appeared floating near him, this was the underground arena administrators wanting Ehione to formally agree to Nadira's request, they didn't want to take any blame if Ehione becomes disabled.

After Ehione signed the term, arena screens began to show the two fighters who faced each other for a while, Ehione had to change his plan from starting with the basics.

The screen showed Nadira wearing her black clothes that molded her sculptural body making many men and women crave the omega woman of the arena, the whip was in her long-fingered hands, it didn't look like a deadly weapon but some kind of toy for adults to play in the bedroom.

Ehione started attacking to be stopped by the whip from approaching the omega's body, the whip hit the ground which broke the arena floor. Shocking the crown prince with the great strength of his opponent, he had to admit that he had an ancient perception of the physical strength of the omegas, but Nadira couldn't be placed in the category of frail.

He had to dodge with all his speed to avoid being hit, he at least knew that Nadira's advantage was her strength and dexterity, so he guessed her defense was weak and already planned what he would do to defeat the woman.

Fighters who focus on improving their physical strength and dexterity generally don't worry about strengthening their defenses and their defensive positions, they are generally not prepared for direct attacks.

The next few minutes were of Ehione dodging Nadira's every blow, he was analyzing the woman's attacks so he could find an opening and make a single attack to stun the woman and finish with an attack to knock her out of the arena.

"Once again our Queen is showing her deadly dance with the whip! The opponent seems to be fast and is trying to gain ground to reach our queen... The queen is enchanting her prey with the whip, so you already know what comes next... The titan serpent scares the prey... ." The narrator of the match said excitedly to the audience that was already waiting full of expectation.

"But the prey flees to fall into the mouth of Tiger-Montsho1" the crowd finished the sentence of the narrator of the battle.

Unfortunately, Ehione couldn't hear the narration, if he knew for sure he wouldn't have made the move that would make him lose so disastrously.

Ehione found an "opening" in one of Nadira's attacks and advanced for a stun attack, Nadira looked at Ehione in surprise when she saw him approaching with such speed, only to smile when he was close to shocking the crown prince.

"And Tiger-Montsho eats the prey!" the crowd roared together as Nadira used her mind power to create a strong, small shield at her "opening point", successfully blocking Ehione's attack on her waist. 

Ehione would even use the opposite force to propel himself, but his foot, which was at the height of Nadira's waist, got stuck as the small, strong mental shield turned into a powerful claw that held his foot with an iron grip.

A strong mental power descended on him, easily breaking through his mental barriers, leaving him stunned for a few seconds, but it was enough for him to be overwhelmed by the whip and have Nadira's foot on top of him while he was curled up on the floor by the black-whip.

The crowd screamed getting up excitedly, they started shouting "the tiger ate the prey" and the stadium seemed to vibrate with excitement.

"Five minutes have passed, and the opponent is still on the ground. The victory belongs to our Queen!" the narrator said excitedly, the crowd was ecstatic and vibrated along applauding the queen of the underground.

Ehione was shocked at how easily he lost at the hands of Nadira, it showed that his combat knowledge was very low compared to the queen of the underground.
