Dungeon Prowler : One Man Army

Reina had to sacrifice the use of one of her arms during a grapple to bait her opponent into relaxing and taking a precision strike into the back of the neck and falling unconscious. The Valyrians swarmed her ring after the fight was over to readjust the dislocated bones and refused to give her up for healing, why would they when Leader could literally grow Reina new arms of the need arises.

As for her opponent, well, he felt to much murderous intent pointed at him as he walked his way from the ring and into the waiting room. how dare he be so savage to the delicate little girl who can only get healed by a specific healer, and that made the public feel like crippling him for it. They conveniently forgot this was a fighting tournament. As someone said before "cuteness is the only truth of the world, the only thing worth dying for"

Leol met a magic user that targeted him with beginner spells, small things that would merely inconveniences the opponent but as the spells started stacking it got harder and harder to get to her, she cast things like slippery ground, ice cover, and mud marshes near her, if you get close, you would slipp on the ground, glide on the ice and get mired in the mud a few steps away from her, just for her to pelt you with her ice spear and fire ball till you get heavily injured or forfeit.

Leol did not approach her since he could see changes to the ring around her, but he used his swords to attack and destroy the ring making fist sized stones while dodging whatever attacking spell was aimed at him, when he thought he had enough stones, he started throwing the rocks at the woman targeting her limbs and trying to get her to move into her own traps. The girl refused to budge and her shield could not take the force of Leol"s thrown stones. When Leol saw her get fl.u.s.tered and lose her composure, he ended the fight with a well aimed rock to the forehead.

Lili had an epic fight with her opponent, started by using swords, then using daggers, then their bare fists, the guy had a good defense and the thickest skin, because no matter how much Lili tried to go for the pain pressure points, they had no effect. The best thing Lili was able to do was kite the guy around the ring until he lost his patience and charged at her giving her just the smallest of opportunities to try one of those wrestling moves Balin was so proud of and ended up throwing the guy outside the ring.

As for Yunan, he met another lucky guy since he was mostly unaffected by the bad luck he incurred by attacking Yunan, mostly, his spells would miss by inches or be delayed just long enough for Yunan to dodge out of the way, he would make a small mistake costing him the combo he had been working hard to make, these little things drove the lucky guy to insanity. These were the things that happened to others who fought him, did his luck just ran out?

Yunan did not miss the opportunity to trick the forlorn man by using his newly mastered mana manipulation to cast a mana ball as he closed in with sword in one hand and spell in the other. His opponent thought it was a false charge and the spell was the real attack prompting him to cast a shield that was delayed just enough for Yunan to shoulder the man into the floor and point the sword at his eye.That was how the fifth day of the tournament ended.

The sixth day was used for cla.s.sifying the top ten, the top 100 and the top 1000 contestants. There were many challenges and changes in the rankings along the day, and ended with some significant and epic fights in the top 100 category. As for Debauchery, they found new gambling sites and casinos who still had betting open on the kids and made enough profits they were booted out for winning too much.

The seventh day was by far the most boring day in the whole tournament by far, how else would you expect it to be when the most important matches were solved by the best of 10 matches in rock paper scissors? Debauchery did not bet on those matches simply because there was no need to, they have been with the kids long enough to know, Leol was the smartest, too smart for rock paper scissors and would take forth place, the second and third would depend on how badly Yunan"s opponent lost to him. If Reina lost by 6-0 she would win against Lili all year round, if Lili lost 6-0 she would lose to Reina within a thin margin of two points then there was no point in guessing since it came to luck at that point.

As for Yunan there was no need to even think about it, he would win with the same hand 6 times in a row if he felt like being ruthless, thankfully he did not and ended his sets with something like 6-4 keeping the suspense for Debauchery to enjoy. The board of organizers had a fit at the odd and anticlimactic end to the tournament, so they approached the Valyrians to ask them to redo the matches with actual fighting, they ended up having a battle royale for the semi finals and finals, it was spectacular to watch, as the four youngsters used everything they learned across one and a half years under Debauchery to over power opponents they knew like the back of their hands.

There were weapon swaps, weapon steals, grappling moves at weird angles, punches that hit the wrong person, body slams that broke off two people in the middle of trying to choke hold each other, they would attack on any opportunities, trying to help me out? Here have a punch as thank you. It was mayhem, beautiful mayhem that was more than anyone would expect from kids their age.

The Valyrians displayed all kinds of skill, that most of the contestants never even saw before let alone understand. The battle came to an unexpected end when Leol tripped with Reina on his back while hounding Lili and ended up driving the three of them out of bounds.
