"My turn, Roth..." I say with a wide grin slowly forming on my face. Seeing my battle expression, a grin starts forming on Roth's face like a battle maniac. "Come at me!! Show me what you've got!!" Roth roars like a madman with veins popping out of his neck and forehead. "Master, I can go all out right?" I ask with a confident smile, shoving Roth's medicine down his throat Alphonso simply lets out a sigh at our childish act and replies either way. "You can go all out as long as it's only one punch. Even if he ends up dying, he will respawn." Alphonso explains. "Me die? What a joke." Roth mumbles upon hearing Alphonso's words. "If you say so, then..." I reply and unleash my aura. BOOM! "S-Such monstrous aura.... It's even scarier than my own." Roth mumbles, but instead of feeling scared, he gets more excited. Suddenly I raise my right hand in the air, trying to use one of my arsenals. Although, I had planned on using it against Alphonso. But, since I want to teach Roth a lesson, I wouldn't mind using it on him. "Blood for blood, aura for aura. Ye blood heed my words and abide by my command. Absolute blood control; Sanguine's wrath, fifth-level berserker!!!" BOOM!!!! A red aura bursts out of the floor and covers me from head to toe as if I am the god of death. "T-That skill....where did he learn it?" Alphonso mumbles. Suddenly, I disappear from my position. "W-Where did he go? I...I can't sense him..." Roth mumbles in confusion while looking around the field. Since the duel began, this is the first time I have seen him panic. In a flash, I appear in front of him using Blink, and lodge my fist into his abdomen. "GAHHH!!! ARGH!" Crack. Crack. Crack. The moment my blazing fist comes into contact with Roth's abdomen, I can feel my fist pass through his abdomen like tofu. Although, it's quite surprising that he wasn't sent flying due to the impact of the blow, but his rock-hard stomach couldn't withstand my attack. "J-Just how...? How? I thought I was strong enough. Why am I always below you? I have trained day and night just to surpass you but I was defeated by a single blow from you. I didn't even have the chance to show my full power. Just what sort of monster did you become?" Roth asks while blood begins to pour out of his mouth. Slowly, I start to dislodge my hand from his stomach, and lo and behold, a huge gaping hole can be seen in his stomach. His wounds don't seem to be healing or closing up because there are still residues of my aura on his wound, which are slowly chipping his flesh away, and making the hole wider. As the wielder of Absolute blood control, I can have control over the aura of any vampire as long as I make physical contact. I hope that it evolves someday to the extent of not needing physical contact or to the point of being able to control other races' aura. "Roth, don't feel bad. Your overconfidence actually ruined you. To be honest, when it comes to physical combat, you are leagues above me because you are skilled. I saw it in you the day you fought against Mule. You are a born warrior. However, when it comes to delivering a large-scale powerful attack, you are nowhere near me, Roth. If we had dueled the normal way, you might have won." I say, shaking my head, before turning around and walking towards Alphonso. Slowly, Roth's body begins to disintegrate till it finally turns into dust particles. There was still a frozen expression of disbelief on his face till he disappeared. I stop in front of Alphonso. "Well, I have defeated him.... Can you see that I am stronger than him?" I say with a shrug. "Sigh, Roth has worked so hard for this day. You broke him more than I expected. At least, you should have reduced your attack." Alphonso says with a bitter smile. "I think Jake did the right thing. It's good for Roth to learn the hard way and never underestimate his enemy. He was so confident that he could beat Jake." Blair interrupts. "As expected from you, you will always side with your husband even if he did the wrong thing." Alphonso says with a sigh. Blair's face turns red as she takes a quick peek at me. "I agree with Blair, he's getting out of hand with his overconfidence. Either way, I think I was too harsh on him." "You did the right thing, Jake." A voice suddenly emerges a few meters away from us, causing us to raise our heads and see Roth sitting on one of the chairs in the arena. After disintegrating, he respawned into the game again. He has a gloomy expression on his face but he's wearing a genuine smile at the same time. "I was too overconfident. I guess I have a lot to learn, thanks for correcting me, brother." Roth says with a small smile. "It's okay, you can always count on me." I give a reply. "I don't think I can participate in today's duel again. I'll just sit and watch, we'll have a real duel someday, bro." Roth tells me and I simply give him an affirmative nod. Suddenly, Alphonso speaks up. "Now, that Roth is no longer playing. Jake, you have to go against Blair." Alphonso says, taking a look at me. In return, I take a look at Blair with a battle grin on my face. "Pfft... you stand no chance against me, Jake. You're going to lose within seconds..." Blair says mockingly, before letting out loud giggles. "Oh, not when we are going to fight using the same type of ability." I say as I begin to form a small shadow in my hands. "W-What! You have my ability? I...Is that why you...you..." Blair's face turns bright red in embarrassment, unable to complete her words after realizing the way I got her ability. "And I forgot to mention, once I copy someone's ability, I tend to be more skillful than the wielder." ========================== Join our discord to see Misty's illustration. https://discord.gg/RF8pvt6KJv [WEEKLY â€“ MONTHLY GOALS!] 500 power stones- 1 extra chapter 1000- 5 extra chapters 200 golden tickets- 1 extra chapter 500 golden tickets - 5 extra chapters Please vote with power stones!
