Chapter 21: TOURNAMENT ( FINAL 01)
Hello, everyone. I hope you're all doing well. I know everyone here must be very thrilled to see the finale of this huge tournament. Well, I don't know about you all, but I am very much interested to see who is going to win and who is going to lose."
"Yaaaaaaa..."
"Beat that, my dream prince...."
"Defeat that handsome-faced bastard....."
Many cheers and curses could be heard for both finalists from the audience.
Green Room
"Here is what Young Master had wanted...."
"Hmmm.... Thanks for it...."
Right now Jack could be seen in his green room with a servant who had given him some kind of potions.
"Then if you excuse me, Young Master."
Saying that, the servant left the room without saying anything.
"Are you going to use potions for the fight...."
Jack turned around and saw Aurora standing there, watching Jack with narrowed eyes.
'And you say she doesn't really love me. If that were the case, why did she always come to me?'
Jack thought inside his head with a small smile on his face. He answered her, "Well yes, why not? After all, it is against the rules to take potions during the middle of the fight, but it doesn't matter if you take them before the match."
Jack knew it would be hard to win the match against Grace if he didn't use external help. And Jack can't allow himself to lose no matter what the circumstances. Call it an act of desperation or anything.
"Hmmmm... But I thought you could defeat her easily, then why do you have to resort to taking potions..."
Aurora asked Jack with a mocking smile on her face.
"Well, obviously I can defeat her. It's just that I am taking these potions to make her and my physical condition the same so that there shouldn't be any problem with our fight. Now think like this, even if I got defeated, they would call her 'scared bitch who defeated her opponent who was weaker than her,' and if somehow I defeated her, then they would say 'hahaha bitch lost from someone who was much weaker than her.'"
"In both cases, this problem will be there. That's why I want to fight her on equal terms. And if this will satisfy you, I will go there and tell the host that I am taking these potions before the match."
Jack spoke with a small, kind smile on his face, which made him look like nothing more than a saint who just wants everyone's happiness. And somehow it sounded right to Aurora as well.
"Very well then, get ready. Your final match is going to begin very soon...."
Nod...
Jack nodded his head and drank the potions, after which he felt a different type of energy entering his body, and a message appeared in front of his eyes.
Tinn.....
{SPEED: 10(+)}
{STAMINA: 10(+)}
Yes, Jack had drunk a speed and stamina potion which raised both his stats by two, making him feel much better. And now he was ready for his battle.
...
"NOW IS EVERYONE READY..... FOR A VERY INTERESTING FINALS..."
"YAAAAAA....."
"WOOOO...."
"So let's welcome the two finalists. In the left corner, the vampire who is so cold that even ice freezes in front of her, the killer of many hearts both emotionally and physically, the Assassin, the cold princess Grace Nightshade..."
"Wooooooo....."
"Beat that bitch....."
"Defeat her...."
Grace, with her fluidic moves, walked towards the stage without putting an eye on anyone who was crushing her or praising her.
"Now, in the right corner, one of the most handsome faces I have ever seen. Will it only be his face or his skills too? So everyone, I would like to call the prince, the future king, Damon DarkBorne...."
"Ooooooo....."
"Beat that crap face of his....."
"Love you, prince....."
Jack walked towards the stage and saw Grace standing in her usual emotionless face and cold eyes.
"Hee... Never thought you have to take some potion's help to fight against me..."
A smile crept on her face as she said to Jack.
"Ohhh... Well, at least I don't have to use a hidden weapon together with my knives...."
"Hehh.... You are naive. I made that choice, and I decided to take the opportunity. What wrong did I do...."
"Ohh... Who said you did wrong? I am just saying, just like you are taking the help of two weapons, while I am taking help from just two potions. I don't think that is so bad..."
Jack shook his head while saying it in a sad tone as if he were mocking her.
Tinn...
[SIDE QUEST: (SHOWCASE OF TRUE STRENGTH.)]
{OBJECTIVE: WIN THE FINAL EVENT.}
{DURATION: NONE}
{DIFFICULTY: A}
{REWARD: COMPLETION OF MAIN QUEST, EXPERIENCE POINTS : +40}
{PENALTY: LOSS OF MAIN QUEST.}
Jack heard many notifications in his head and saw the red interface in front of him.
'Hmmmm.... It's true, no one can see it, same as it happens in other novels...'
Seeing the interface, Jack got a small smile on his face.
"So is everyone ready for the finale? Well, I sure am. So let the battle begin..."
As the battle began, Jack decided to slowly walk toward her. Seeing him walk toward her, Grace narrowed her eyes and decided to watch his every move.
Jack walked a little closer to her and stopped in his tracks while watching her.
Seeing him act like that, Grace's suspicion went up, and she decided to attack him with her strings.
Susss...
A strong gust of wind, similar to Ray's case, was launched at Jack with inhuman speed. And with this, many more strings came out of her hand, taking over the whole stadium, making it look like some kind of spider's web.
Seeing the upcoming attack approach Jack, he calmly turned his body a little bit, and the attack passed close to his body by an inch.
Seeing that he had somehow evaded the attack, an interested look came upon Grace's face as she looked directly into the man's red crimson eyes.
"You were able to predict from where my attack is going to come... You are really something.... Aren't you."
"Well, every lady says the same thing to meeee...."
Jack answered her with a smug look on his face. And seeing that smug look, Grace narrowed her eyes.
"Too bad this lady is going to turn that handsome face of yours into a bloody mess.."
Saying that, Grace tightened her fingers, which caused the strings to interlock with each other and make a web of very thin strings around Jack, which was hard to spot with naked eyes.
Make it more interesting.
"Well, someone is jealous. Haaa.... Heee..."
Jack spoke with a small chuckle on his face, and seeing that chuckle, Grace's eyes twitched.
"Well, I think you should get ready. You might lose one or two limbs of yours...."
