Chapter 11 - Round 2 of the Tournament of All Families
I walked slowly towards the arena where the tournament was being held. I felt very weak, so I lay down to sleep.
***
After 2 hours, I cheerfully got up and went on. I noticed that most people said that an Ancient Monster appeared in the Roaring Mountains.
"Did you hear that a Rank 12 ice dragon appeared in the Roaring Mountains?"
- Yes, I heard - this is an Ancient Monster - the Ice Dragon Abos.
- He's just incredible! He can copy techniques of any level and deactivate skills!
- I heard that Great Magicians went there! I wonder if they can beat Abos?
"We have to be sure of them, otherwise the whole Bunce Kingdom will come to an end.
Listening to this conversation and passing by these guys, I learned a lot about this world and who I was fighting. I realized that I was fighting with him... with the Dragon Abos! Weakness and longing came over me again. I went on...
***
After 15 minutes, I came to the Northern Dragon Arena. The elders and a few disciples were already there.
- Hey! Alex, Hi!
- Hi
- What's wrong with you?
It seemed strange to me how they communicate with me. I was a simple loser who was always being bullied. In their opinion, I don't deserve good treatment from them.
I guess they're up to something. I walked past them.
- Hey! What are you ignoring!
He got angry and came to me.
- Stop! He's a loser! One blow from you and he's finished! Come to your senses, Bell!
He didn't listen to Flora, and came up to me and waved the god card. She turned into a sword. He was ready to attack me.
- Stay where you are!
- Why should I follow your rules? Oh, yeah, you think I'm a loser.
My words angered Bell and he swung his sword. I calmly dodged his attack.
"Hmm, it's too easy to dodge such an attack," I said
- Fire volley!
A huge fireball flew at me.
- Ehhh... A piercing Blade...
In an instant, his ball was cut into two parts and evaporated, as well as he himself received damage.
- Enemy Health [5570/10500] (-4930 hp)
- Enemy Health [5540/10500] (-30 hp)
- Enemy Health [5480/10500] (-60 hp)
- Enemy Health [5360/10500] (-120 hp)
I made another normal hit.
- Enemy Health [4360/10500] (-1000 hp)
Everyone was in shock. Bell fell to the ground.
- Well... while
I left. The tournament will start soon. He should recover to show his full strength.
***
After 10 minutes, the start of the 2nd round of the tournament took place. All participants were divided into 4 groups of two participants. I was in the very last group against Joel. He possessed sword prowess and had a high God Card rank. His God Card was Rank 4 of the D Class.
All the other participants had the same. So I got the strongest opponent of all against me.
- The first fight of today's tournament will be Flora vs. Bella.
- I'll teach you a lesson, Bella!
- We'll see...
Both participants started using magic.
- Water Space!
A ball of water began to appear around Flora.
- Wood Spikes
Thanks to the spikes, she calmly punctured the Water Ball.
- Shopping center...
- Tree Attack.
A huge wood hammer formed above Bella.
- Water Spear.
The Water Spear couldn't penetrate the hammer. The hammer attacked directly at Bella.
- Tree Thorns!
The spikes flew straight at Bella.
- Water Dragon!
The Water Dragon appeared in front of Bella. The dragon began to emit rapid streams of water, which were able to knock down the thorns of Flora.
- A Flowering Tree!
The ground began to shake under Bella. She didn't know what was going on, but she used her last skill.
- The Vast Ocean
At the moment when Bella used the skill, the tree had already sprouted and caused huge damage to Bella.
- Bella's Health [450/12500]
- And Flora becomes the winner of the first match!
Everyone who knew Flora started supporting her.
- Well done Flora!
The rest of the audience also applauded Flora's victory.
- The next fight is Makoto vs. Bell!
Makoto was a samurai, while Bell was a two-handed swordsman.
- Let's start the fight.
- Samurai attack
Makoto struck with incredible speed, and completely immobilized Bell.
- Wow...
- Cutting mist
The Dark katana rushed to attack Bell.
- It wasn't there!
- Heavy Blast!
A second similar sword flew out of Bell's huge sword and attacked Makoto with all his might.
"Their powers are pretty good... But they are not my rivals, I thought
- Shattering Katana Strike
- Shining Sword
Both participants used their strongest skills and crossed swords.
- AAAAAAA
Bell was able to overpower Makoto and delivered the decisive blow!
- The winner is Bell!
The next fight was so boring that even the audience got tired of watching it.
- Woland and Chow - you are eliminated from the tournament
- Why?
- Because for 20 minutes you could not strike a single blow to each other
They left bitterly. The last fight remains
- So, the last fight is Joel vs Alex!
I entered the arena. Joel was also standing in front of me.
The judge nodded, showing us that it was possible to start the fight.
I took some rank 6 dragon blood and dripped it onto the map.
- What is he doing? Is he completely crazy?
- Bloodlust skill activated -
- +50% to attack power -
I rushed to Joel.
"Ha, ha, ha! You'll never break through my defenses!
- You'll find out right now!
- The Circle of Death.
A red circle appeared in front of me.
- Wait, this is the same circle!
The elders were not surprised by this skill, as they had seen it before. It's an incredibly powerful skill.
- Piercing Blade
I dealt a crushing blow to Joel, breaking through his defense and attacking through the Circle of Death!
He spat out a lot of blood.
- Unbelievable... Kid, you fight well.
Enemy Health [17000/35000] (-18k hp)
What?! I was extremely surprised by his health indicator.
- Now I can start the battle...
Chapter 12 - Black Magic and the Final of the Tournament!
- Muscle Strength
His body has strengthened and become 2 times more powerful.
- Now I'm ready to attack...
He rushed towards me and attacked me. He didn't do much damage to me - about 2 thousand.
- Ha...
I attacked him with 3 more blows and he retreated a long distance.
- It's time for me to use a trump card! I said, laughing.
- Magic Star!
A small star flew in his direction. He cut her with his giant sword.
At that moment I moved away to an even greater distance, because I knew how it would all end.
"That's the end of you, Joel.
"Explosion"
- Enemy Health [1000/32000] (- ? hp)
- Alex becomes the winner!
- The tournament doesn't end for today!
- We will ask all the viewers to vote between whom the fight for the passage to the 3rd round will take place!
***
After 30 minutes, such a number of votes was collected:
--------------
Bella: 189
Bell: 243
Alex: 174
--------------
"Fuuh, it's good that I won't fight for the passage.
The battle began.
***
After 15 minutes, Bella emerged as the winner!
- So, the final round of the Tournament of All Families begins!
- In the last fight, Bella and Alex will be the fighters!
We entered the arena.
- Get started!
I was going to win the tournament without any difficulties, so I quickly used all my skills and rushed into the attack.
- ATTENTION -
- You have been awarded the status of a Finalist of the Tournament -
- Attack in the last battle +100% -
- Ha ha.
I quickly struck one blow and...
...
....
- What's going on?
I found myself in a black space. I didn't know what to do.
A God Card appeared in front of me. I picked it up and was immediately brought back.
I was lying on the floor of the arena...
- Damn it!
- And win... become .... Bell....
- Wait!
- Are you awake?
- What happened to me?
- You just suddenly blacked out.
- Are we continuing the fight?
The elders agreed to continue the match, since Alex has woken up!

- Eh?!
What kind of dark magician is this? I was confused in my thoughts, but I continued the fight.
- We should try... Dark Cover!
A black robe appeared around me. I put it on.
- Your skills will be reunited into one -
- Removal - Bloodlust -
- Removal - Piercing Blade -
- Removal - Circle of Death -
- You have been given a new skill -
- Black Magic -
- Black Magic!
My sword was covered with a black aura, and I defeated Bella with one blow.
- Alex becomes the winner in the final! Congratulations!
After the tournament, I went to buy a house with the money I received.
I chose a small house and bought it.
- Now I have a place where I can sleep in peace.
I was worried about everything that happened today. I can't believe I gave up all my skills for Black Magic! And what was this black place where I found myself?
- The black place where you ended up is the internal space of the System -
- There you can store the things you need -
- How did I get there?
- After you have fainted or received critical wounds, you will always be teleported to the system space so that you can recover faster -
Now everything is clear, except for Black Magic... I think it's worth asking the elders about it...
Eh?
To be continued...
