Chapter 212: The First Fighter Is...
Finally, the time has come to return to the Monsters World. We will have three matches today in the arena.
And I"ll be bringing Angela, Kayla, Sophie, Sonia, Candy, Lina, Shirley, Ian, Jewel, Albert, Mustache, and… a lot of food to share with the Werewolves.
As for the other two fighters who will fight, it"s a secret.
"Albert, aren"t you busy? We might stay for longer than I thought." I asked the king who skipped work.
"Don"t worry. Prime Minister Lowe and his son, Hector, can handle everything else. I have taken care of the most important jobs." Albert said.
We are in the living room of our house in Ca.s.sau. The kids won"t be coming because it"s night time here, but it"s day in the Monsters World. At least in the area I will transfer to. That"s what Victoria told me.
I thought of getting Kron to come and be a fighter, but if I open up a portal too many times, I"ll be too tired. So, only those in Ca.s.sau and the Capital will come. As for Marie, she"s staying in our place with her twins.
Another reason we don"t bring children with us is because there will be death in the fight. Either me, or Grandpa Werewolf. If I die, I won"t be able to bring everyone back to human world, that"s why I brought Lina with me. I have taught her to create a portal during the time I"m at home. She can only open up a portal just once. At least that"s good enough to bring everyone back home.
"Are you ready?" I asked everyone.
"What about you? You"re having a deathmatch over there?" Angela asked worriedly.
"Don"t worry. I won"t die. Probably… Let"s go!"
I open up a portal and someone already waiting for us in front of the portal. He"s one of the male Werewolves I first encounter. And we are right in the center of the Arena, In the Colosseum.
"You"re here. And they are?" He asked.
"This one is the king of my country, and the rest are fighters and supporters. Help me carry all the foods."
Without hesitation, the Werewolf quickly helped carrying the food with instructions from Ian.
"…these are all… not like before." The Werewolf complained.
"Obviously. These are just the ingredients. These two will cook them after the fights are over. It will be good if you bring some meat with you later. The match is the main priority. We"ll be having a party after the match is over. Whoever wins in the end, there will be no hard feelings." I said.
"I see. I"ll tell the others to hunt some meat. You can wait here. Everyone should have noticed you"re here from your smell."
"By the way, where"s your partner? The other Werewolf with you before?" I asked about the other Werewolf who was with him.
"He will be fighting. After you left, we decide to have the strongest Werewolves to fight. One is Shelia, and the other should be Red. But Jack challenged him and won. So, it will be Jack and Shelia before your fight. We"ll put these ingredients to the King"s Home. As for you guys, just find a seat where you want to watch the battle. The best spot is over there." The Werewolf pointed to the seat closest to the arena.
"Alright, we"ll go there. Let"s go, guys!"
I bring everyone to the best spot as that Werewolf and Ian brought the ingredients to the next building to store until the fights over. After they store the ingredients, Ian returned alone telling that the Werewolf is telling the others to hunt some Boars as per Ian"s instructions. Good thing that there are boars here. I heard that the Werewolf was about to suggest some weird monster"s meat from Ian.
Little by little, the Werewolves started to crowd the audience seats. They are all watching us curiously.
And finally, four Werewolves enters the Colosseum. Start from the Werewolf King in-name, Red, then the third strongest Werewolf, Jack, the second Strongest, Shelia, and finally, Grandpa Werewolf.
All the Werewolves howled when they see those four enters. Or more like, the three strongest and an extra. I feel more and more pitiful toward Red. He used to be the second strongest. Then become the third while still being a king. Then the fourth, and still a king.
For a tribe that decided their king by strength, it must be humiliating for him. But I don"t sense any self-pity from him. In fact, I feel that he"s proud to have another powerful Werewolf in the rank.
I guess if the strongest decide you"re the king, then you are the king indeed. No one will object the decision made by the strongest.
…that"s also why I can only fix the misunderstanding with Shelia after I beat Grandpa Werewolf. Anything I say before that will only be misunderstood. I also need to say it clearly in a word that doesn"t have any other meaning.
"Is she the one?" Candy whispered to Victoria who turned into her human form after we arrive here.
"Yes. It"s stupid crazy how Roy can get more and more girls so easily." Victoria replied.
"It"s impossible for him to just so easily get more girls just by misunderstanding. He must have done it on purpose. Victoria, next time, stop him from saying unnecessary stuffs." Kayla said.
It was totally not on purpose!
Sophie who heard their whisper just smiled at me. As for Angela, she looked at me angrily like I"m some kind of playboy. Wait! Maybe I am one?
Well, she"s just angry because she"s still single.
As for Albert, and Mustache as well, they are enjoying the view. The view of female Werewolves wearing bikini-like outfits.
"Must be good that we didn"t bring Marie, right?" I teased Albert.
"I"m just interested in how the Werewolves looks like. Hmm… so that"s how Werewolves look like, huh? There"s not much difference from humans other than those wolf ears. As for their canines, they are difficult to be noticed by other people. As long as they hide their ears, they can hide among humans in our world." Albert said.
"You just admitted that you"re looking at their appearances. I"ll tell Marie."
"Then I"ll turn you into a wanted criminal. Good luck with that."
We both know that neither of us will do what we said. We"re just teasing each other.
"Hohohoh! You brought more people than I thought. At least two of them are there for the fight, right?" Grandpa Werewolf approaches me followed by the other three Werewolves.
"Yes. The one who will be fighting are-"
"No need to tell me. We only interested in battle, not before the battle. And food as well, but we will enjoy that later, right? Well, only one of us though." Grandpa said.
I know that he will be going all out against me later. He wanted to win the duel, but what he wants the most is the excitement of the battle instead of winning or losing. He is also too old already. He should have died a long time ago. It"s impossible for a race like Werewolves to live for more than a thousand years is what Victoria told me before we return here. But he"s still alive. And since there are no more challenge for him, he decided that this will be his last fight. Although he will be aiming to win, he wanted someone to put an end to his boring life. That"s why he"s asking me.
For someone to only lose once in their lifetime, and that lifetime is over a thousand years old, he will be the strongest opponent I will fight. The only good thing is that it will be a one-on-one battle. I need to only concentrate on killing him.
"Don"t worry. I will be the one to enjoy the feast. It will be for your funeral after all." I offered my right hand to him for a handshake.
Seeing that, he grabbed my hand. Seems like even Werewolves know what a handshake is.
Both of us put a lot of power on our hand. I wanted to test how strong he is, but seems like thinking the same thing as well.
After about thirty seconds, we finally let go. My hand is so red right now. Good thing it didn"t break before I fight.
"Let"s just begin the first fight, shall we? Jack! Show everyone the how strong you"ve become!" Grandpa ordered Jack to get on the Arena.
"AWOOO!!! I"ll be winning it!" Jack jumped down to the Arena in the middle, and everyone cheered on him.
Although the building is oval, the Arena in the middle is square. The size is quite big. About 30x30 Meters. And there"s wall separating the Arena and the audience seats.
I guess I should send my first fighter as well. But before that…
"Kayla, can you heal my hand? It"s not broken, but it"s painful."
"Bear with it. I want to converse my magic for the battle. I"ll be going now." Kayla said.
I guess I will keep it red for a while longer. I"ll just ask someone to give me ice for my hand.
And our first fighter is Kayla. Although I want Mustache to partic.i.p.ate, Kayla volunteer before I decide who will fight. She wanted to test how strong she has become now.
And as a supportive boyfriend, I agree with to let her partic.i.p.ate. During the last three days, she also did a lot of sparring against me and Victoria. I can say that she"s much stronger than before.
I guess I"ll see how it goes.
The two fighters entered the Arena and the cheers from the audience is deafening. Then after the two stood at the center of the stage, everyone quieted down.
By the way, how do we start the fight? Has it already started as soon as the fighters enter the Arena?
"Now, begin!"
Seems like the signal for the start comes from Grandpa Werewolf. And it was so simple.
Now the battle has begun, I hope Kayla can win this fight.
