Book 2: Chapter 83: Pushed Forward

Scarlet

It takes about five or so minutes before the announcement goes through the arena declaring that Tempest was defeated by Shifter, following which I find myself teleported from my lovely tree to a large tower once again. And immediately upon doing so, I find thunderous cheers echoing throughout the stadium, along with a certain Knight floating down towards us again while shouting, Absolutely amazing! This has been an extraordinary semifinal round! And now we have our two finalists!

Extraordinary? I almost took a nap.

However, we have some news as well, Black suddenly says, catching my attention and making the audience begin calming down. Due to some unexpected complications that have arisen, the three hour long break between the semifinal round and the final round has been shortened to a mere twenty minute break instead. Black floats down to me and Lucas as he finishes, I would like to express the tournaments staffs apologies for this change. They assure me that you will be compensated for the loss of preparation time, so I hope you will forgive them for this.

I blink in surprise before glancing at Lucas. We both then nod and turn back to Black again.Ñøv€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.

Im fine with this, I say at the same time as he says, Thats okay.

Not sure what this news hes talking about is though. Normally a tournament is only delayed due to a Demonic Assault starting. A tournament or a round has never started earlier before because of anything.

Maybe it has something to do with what surprised Tar earlier? That would make some sense. And he said it wasnt a pressing issue, so it cant have been anything that needs immediate attention. Couldnt have been a Demonic Assault either because we wouldve been kicked out of the magical reality if that were the case.

Excellent! Black shouts with a clap wile floating up into the air again. In that case, the final round will commence in twenty minutes! Please stay tuned for that everyone!!!

I cant help but grin a little as I see the blood moon hanging above us.

Now thats just perfect. Giving me the terrain advantage.

I dont think most people actually realize that my healing is even faster under the light of the blood moon, particularly because the people selling the stupid recordings captured by security cameras during Fractures dont exactly sell the recordings of me recovering from a fight. Only the recordings of me fighting. So they dont really see me healing.

And there hasnt been any blood moons in the duels Ive done or in the Tower Siege tournament. Meanwhile all of the second round of the ranking tournament had a blood moon hanging from the sky, so there wasnt much to compare it with. Especially since I never really got hurt much except when I almost died to Nick.

Unlike the quarterfinals, we cant hear the audience as the two of us begin slowly circling each other, the both of us shifting one of our arms into that of a beast. Mine becoming a werewolfs claw, and his becoming that of a bear. And both of us have a grin on our faces, showing just how much the two of us are looking forward to this fight.

Good luck, wolf, Shifter says while flexing his claws slightly. And I respond in kind, You too, bear. Purely because the majority of his shapeshifting seems to follow along the lines of bears for some reason. Despite his ability to shapeshift partially into other animals as well.

Guess bears are just one of the strongest animals available to him?

He snorts in amusement at that, showing more reaction than normal.

Then we both break into a sprint straight towards each other, the fight beginning.
