"you won, it was nice to have a good competitor for a change that seems to be around my age. I hope you can stay competitive." the girl said to Damon as the cloth straps on her clothing floated up and wrapped up the large tub on her back. she pushed beside him walking away without looking back.
Damon turned around a bit confused but quickly thought it was just her way of communicating and complementing someone.
He thought more would be said and didn't have a chance to say anything before she pushed past him. "how did she know my age, or did she." he thought.
Abot walked up to Damon congratulating him on a job well done. they conversed a little while heading to the collection counter where he obtained his reward. he received four gallons of silver liquid. doubled the amount he needed which was four pounds. while receiving it he also got a second prize in a way.
Ding !
{ you have successfully performed a skillful move a thousand times. would you like to make this skill an automated one.
Skill: hailing blades. a barrage of small electric daggers. used to primarily overwhelm with a steady stream that only stops on command. 50 percent ki use. demonic ki can be implemented.}
"ha, I didn't realize I made those floating daggers over a thousand times. looks like I'm getting double the prize. " Damon thought as he made it an automated skill.
Damons next objective was to get the gold dust and red rum tree bark. the cobalt he tried to get facing off against the hammer had disappeared from the booklet informing them they were out of the cobalt but another item took its place which was mercury something he didn't need. it was almost 3 am so he would need to hurry. after 3 the main event would start and every prize for all events would change on the booklet to more high-end items.
the problem was he had used a lot of his ki and knew it would be foolish to enter another event while his power was less than half. he couldn't just activate recovery mist revealing more of his power so he decided to spectate for a while and time was not on his side.
He was now watching a fight in a caged arena around fiftyfeet wide and long. Damon was surprised how big the underground market place was, to have all of these events which made him think of his own underground fortress, although it's size compared to obsidian city was no bigger than his castle's first floor.
A pale skin girl with bright red hair and eyes could be seen performing a spinning back kick that was caught in the hands of a big rough muscular man with shaggy black facial and head hair.
"tch, I'll teach you not to play with the big boy's little girl. I prefer young lady, and I just don't play with the big boys. I play better than them she said as the sole of her foot he was holding onto shot out a white beam of energy that made the man let her go while pushing him back.
"ha, you call that power. that did nothing but burn a few hairs on my arm. ha,ha,ha the man laughed as his big belly jumped up and down.
He then launched at her attempting to grab a part of her body but the girl evaded by flipping out the way and to the side while reaching behind her back.
swinging a sword covered in white vibrating light at the man's side. the sword stopped against the man's side as if it hit a wall. he turned grabbing on to the sword preparing to snatch it away with his big and rough hands.
Upon him grabbing on to the sword the girl let it go as she performed three swift kicks at the bottom hilt of the sword pushing it through his hands almost stabbing him in his stomach.
he clasped his big arms together stopping the sword when he was hit several times in the head making him stumble back.
the big burly man gathered himself while throwing the sword to the side. he took in a deep breath as the air around him turned into steam.
To the crowd they could see him sucking in a steamy substance as his big belly swelled. seconds later his entire body grew in size. his already big arms and hands became even more bigger.
his quads and legs bulged revealing many veins the size of a finger that crawled everywhere. "I hope you can dodge forever, if not the next time I grab you will be the last." he said with a smile showing he clearly didn't care about hygiene as many of his teeth were stained yellow and black looking a little jagged and rotten.
"man, I hate buck the grappler one man said. yea he's always trying to face women but talks as if he's the top man or something another man said responding.
Damon heard this because they were literally next to him and Abot in which Abot confirmed their words because he had seen buck the grappler in action many times and always against women.
Damon looked at the man hard. "he's not weak, that white energy the girl is using packs a good punch but to him it's child's play. it must be a part of his ability, but wat ability is that. he thought recalling how the man sucked up the air watching his body get stronger.
Every time the man talked light steam would be released out of his mouth that just floated away. the bright red haired girl looked a little familiar to Damon but he couldn't really tell why.
She had on a red face covering and all could be seen was her eyes, eyebrows and hair which were all bright red.
the big man called buck rushed in again trying to grab his opponent once more but failed as the girl was very agile and moved swiftly avoiding his every attempt. she countered his every attempt with many kicks and punches that sent out beams of white light.
buck took on the beams of light well. even slapping some of them to the floor dispersing them. he went at her again and again and then something unexpected happened. buck clapped his hands and a high pressure steam blew from them.
"what, this whole time he hasn't used a distance attack. he's just been trying to grab me. which is why I thought his ability relied heavily on his tough body and strength." the girl thought as she was flipping in the air watching the attack burst towards her.
her eyes glowed as a white beam shot out colliding with the steam but something else occurred. the high pressured steam broke up continuously as the beam hit it making the area smoky and difficult to see for the girl.
The small area cleared quickly as the attacks came to a stop and once it was clear buck was seen hugging on to the red haired girl tightly from behind.
"ha, looky looky, it seems I finally got you. he said gripping her tighter while pushing his lower half against the girl's backside. the girl's eyes widened in anger and disgust as she felt the man's Johnson start to rise.
Damon had seen through the steam. buck was on the move the exact minute she used her attack to counter and by the time the area filled with steam he was behind her and grabbing on.
"boy, I swear, that buck is the most disgusting and indecent freak I've seen. how can they let him participate time and time again when they know how that perv bastard is. he only fight women just to grope and grind on them. that sick fucker." the same man from before next to Damon and Abot said to another.
hearing this and seeing the disgust and rage on the girl's face put a bad taste in Damon's mouth as his fists balled up with small electric currents vibrating around his knuckles.
buck then moved one of his hands up cuffing one of her breasts while slamming her to the ground. he then turned his big body on top of her while releasing a ton of steam from his mouth and in doing so his size got smaller but his strength looked to be the same. bucks legs locked and twisted one of the girls arms as his head and upper body was now positioned at her lower half.
she was wearing white and red pants with small circular holes along the side of her thighs revealing just a little skin as the holes went down her pants legs. buck then took in a long deep breath through his nose while rocking his body to the side making them both roll while getting a good smell of her backside and between her legs.
it was a little difficult for the crowd to notice it because their bodies were rolling back and forth on the floor. that didn't fool the people who knew or had gone up against buck before.
"this sick man, he's not hurting me at all. he's using his grappling skills to touch my body in such disrespectful ways. he's strong though and it's difficult for me to move. should I get serious she questioned herself. no I told my brother I could beat anyone here without using my full powers. we had a bet and I hate losing to him. but this is something I will not tolerate.
buck then stopped their rolling while shifting his body. he was still on top but now once again his lower side matched hers as he got her into a light head lock. the girl released multiple white energy beams many times as soon as he grabbed her, but bucks body proved to be very sturdy. each wave of energy that hit him. he would take in a light breath or deep breath depending on the amount of power she was using.
he made slow grinding motions on her backside while turning them upwards. now he was on bottom with his legs crossed on top of hers and she remained in the headlock.
"mmmmm, your body is softer than I imagined." he said licking out his tongue on her neck. the girl turned her lower half to the side a little while making a fist with her free hand and hammered down on buck's private parts.
Many men in the crowd grabbed their Johnson's in discomfort seeing this.
"ha, harder than steel isn't it. that actually is turning me on more he whispered with a grin. Heyyyyyy Cali, forget our bet. just finish that sicko I'm getting hungry."
A red haired male yelled into the cage ring in an uncaring way. hearing the red haired male speak the red haired girl named Cali smiled.
"if the bets off then it's not a loss to you right Caleb she manages to shout grabbing bucks arms and pulling them down a little. yea yea yea, just hurry up would ya." he responded.
Buck was confused hearing this but the next second he started to feel a searing sensation on his arms. his skin and flesh began peeling back and bubbling up. buck let go in a hurry throwing Cali off of him in pain.
Cali's body floated up as a white and red light surrounded her body. the light moved while making a charging up sound as she faced two open palms towards buck.
"you little slut bitch. he yelled looking at his arms. his flesh and skin continued to peel back all the way up to his elbows. it was a very thin layer of skin and flesh but the pain hurt so much he could barely pick up his arms in a defense manner.
the crowd went wild and Damon had a huge smile on his face. "looks like she wasn't using her full strength. man, her power must be incredible. his arms are starting to look like peeled shrimp he thought, laughing in his head.
Two small lines of white beaming energy with a red core shot out her palms. buck eyes widen as he took in a deep breath of steam. his body grew bigger and hardened just before they hit him but it didn't matter as the beams went through both of his legs making two soda can size holes in his thighs dropping him to his knees and to the floor in a instant.
he screamed in pain flopping around like a fish out of water. as he screamed the same steam he had took in was being released and his body began getting smaller. Cali walked over vibrating in her energy picking up the blade she had at the very beginning and walked over to buck as he sat up in horror looking at his legs still yelling in pain.
"it's one thing to be a pervert, but to have such bad breath as well is down right awful." she said covering her nose with one hand and thrusting her sword forward with the other stopping inches from his neck telling him to yield in which he did without hesitation.
there were only two rules in the arenas which was no soul beast and no killing. after he forfeited the fight the ref and a medical team entered the arena. the ref announced Cali as the winner while the medical team carried buck out on a stretcher.
Damon kept an eye on her as she walked out the cage joining the red haired male from earlier. he also had a face covering that was white but just like Cali his eyes, eyebrows and hair was bright red. it soon clicked in his head why she looked familiar. seeing the boy along with her made him think about the two red haired members of the purple puppets he saw yesterday evening while he was in the carriage with Abbot.
"the purple puppets sure do know how to pick em he thought as he lost their figures within the crowd.
