Book 2: Chapter 60.2: The First Round Part II

Scarlet

The very first thing I do in this battle after finding the Conductor is switch to my human ears. Because me fighting a sound based magic using Guardian while using my blood lycan ears is a very bad idea.

And the second thing I do is rush at her as fast as I possibly can to make sure she doesnt have time to launch a mental attack on me with her Guided Song magic. A very annoying magic that combines mind control and a much more brute force attack magic.

But it can only work if shes given time to conduct the song, and only at further distances.

The moment the girl sees me, she immediately begins conducting, an intense and yet eerie sounding harmony echoing around her as I rush in. A harmony that would likely be too loud for my blood lycan hearing. But my speed seems to surprise her, especially when I proceed to burn even more blood while also using blood boil and life drain on her to distract her, speeding up and making her mess up in her conducting. So she seems to just give up on the mind control entirely, instead changing her rhythm and the song itself to be purely intense, like a song that someone would hear in a battlefield scene of a movie.nôvel binz was the first platform to present this chapter.

Here it comes.

Right when the song hits its peak, visible soundwaves of varying colors suddenly materialize in beat with the song, flying straight towards me. And I immediately begin to counter them with blades of blood, only for the soundwaves to overpower my blood weapons.

And there we have it! The young pup managed to win in an incredible display of both intelligence and brawn! Black shouts, his voice echoing over the loud audience as the Conductors corpse vanishes and she most likely reappears somewhere in a private booth or a waiting room. Wherever the losers go. She first started out by locating the Conductor through her amazing senses before switching her ears and immediately trying to get close once she reached her! Then she began distracting her from her harmony with her various skills and finished things off by tanking a blow with her damage diffusion skill to get in close! Absolutely outstanding, and just what youd expect of our young pup!

I cant help but frown up at the commentators booth at his constant use of the term young pup when referring to me.

Its annoying.

I wonder if his choice of phrase to call you has anything to do with him knowing what you are? Tar mutters, and I cant help but wordlessly nod my head at that right before I find myself being teleported back to my private booth. The Knight then immediately moves onto commentating on the next battle that starts up afterwards.

My frown grows as I narrow my eyes at the stadium for a few seconds before shrugging and exiting the magical reality for now. Because I need to eat. And the first day is only for the first round of the tournament. A round I just finished my part of.

I can come back later to check out the rest of the competition. But Im not gonna sit there through over a hundred matches back to back. Thatd just grow boring fast.

And my stomach is starting to growl.
