"FIGHT!"
*BOOM*
Kane instantly dashed in front of Loren. Large cracks appeared on the ground beneath him catching everyone by surprise, especially Loren.
'What the fuck, how did he get to me so fast?!?'
Loren instantly blocked in from of him as he saw the crude sword swing from above. A beautiful arc strikes down on Loren.
The ground caved in unable to sustain Kane's strength.
Loren spat out a mouthful of blood and quickly swerved his sword to the right to set himself free.
Kane without hesitation chased after him.
Loren ran away while cold sweat poured down his black.
'The way he's fighting is exactly like father! Is he father's disciple?'
"Wait a moment, are you possibly one of father's disciples? If so then we should stop this fight and renegotiate."
Kane scoffed at him and said, "Me your father's disciple? This is the first time being here in my life, obviously, I've never even heard of your father. So clench your teeth, 'cause this is gonna hurt."
Loren was surprised considering that Kane's moves looked just like his father's, even better he might say, but he didn't want to admit that. Loren took a deep breath and sighed.
"Well if you are not my father's disciple then I won't care what happens in this battle."
As soon as he said that, green light emanates from his body. His white hair began to elongate and started turning a tinge of green, two horns came out the top of his head, and green scales covered his face.
"Dragonification!"
"He's already using that ability this early on?"
"Wow, Kane is handsome~"
The elves glared at the male elf again.
"What?"
Kane was watching Loren transform, fully intrigued.
'I've seen transformations in anime, but seeing it in real life is disgusting. There's no bright light to cover anything, just physical scales coming out his face… ugh *shiver*"
Kane's face had a hint of disgust on it, that didn't escape from Loren's eyes.
"You dare ridicule my form!? Let's see you handle this."
Loren's sword started to glow green, he quickly pointed it to the sky and swung it downward. A green arc came out of the sword and a path of rubble trailed from behind it.
Kane stared at the green arc calmly, on the other hand, Laura was panicking.
'I know he's strong, he even beat me, I may have been cursed, but my body doesn't fall behind A-tier hunters.' Laura kept her eyes glued to Kane's back.
Kane felt a gaze behind him, and he thought,' Fufu, you worry too much Laura, don't worry this is nothing.'
And he was right, although the beam was strong its speed was lackluster. Kane enhanced his senses, and smoothly dodged the incoming arc. Soon after another arc was in front of him.
'Oh he can at least shoot multiple of them, I can praise him for that, but it's not enough.'
Kane dodged to the left, and another arc went flying at his face horizontally. He ducked down and then jumped to the side. Loren kept shooting out waves of light, but the more he shot the dimmer they got.
I can't hold this form for much longer, I need to finish this now.
The sword in his hand glowed, even more, he grabbed the sword hilt with his left hand and pulled both ways. The sword split into two,
one white, and one green, and arcs of green lightning covered the two swords.
"If I can't beat you with one then I'll beat you with two!"
He dashed toward Kane and swung the two swords like an x. Kane also swung his sword diagonally and hit the two swords in the middle. Kane broke through Loren's attack and pushed through. He twisted his body to the side and swung his sword elegantly and pointed it at Loren's eye. The sword was a millimeter away from piercing his pupil, a slight push can make him blind. Kane's control of the sword was perfect, no movement can be seen as he kept that position.
Kane glared at Loren and said, "Do you admit defeat, prince of whatever?"
Loren was infuriated, but he was taught by his father to always welcome defeat, no matter who his opponent is. He closed his eyes, feeling the sword tip nearly piercing his eyelid, and said, "….I, concede."
He clenched his hands tightly gripping the two swords. Scales started to flake off his face, and the two horns went back in.
'That is disgusting, hopefully, when I get a transformation it's not gonna look like that.'
Loren's sword became one as the green sword vanished. Loren kept his head down and walked toward the changing room.
'Huh, I expected him to lash out and say I cheated, guess you can't really judge a book by its cover huh.'
'Well, hopefully, he leaves and never comes back.'
Laura seeing Kane uninjured was overjoyed. She cast a spell on herself and jumped off the balcony. The elves were surprised and called out, "Your majesty!"
Some fainted on the spot, but soon they realized that she can use magic again.
"Oh yeah, her highness can use magic again."
"Forget about her highness, that human is incredibly strong! He easily beat Loren even after dragonification!"
"He's so handsome~"
"…"
Laura slowly floated toward Kane. Her arms were open wide, so knowing what she wanted he opened his arms as well. Upon reaching him, she gave him a gently hugged as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Kane hugged her around the waist and pulled her in tighter.
"Shouldn't the winner get a reward from her majesty?"
A smug smile came from his lips, and Laura's face instantly turned red.
Kane looked down and stared in her eyes patiently waiting for his reward. He closed his eyes and waited for a couple of seconds.
Laura stared at him in a daze then
*Chu*
She kissed him on the lips.
Kane was surprised, he thought she would just peck him on the cheek like at the beginning of the match, but nonetheless, he liked this even more. Kane slowly opened his eyes and Laura broke off their kiss.
"Here's your reward… that was my first kiss, so cherish i."
Kane was slightly embarrassed and a warm look was in his eyes.
'Yup I like her.'
"Laura, I like you. Would you like to be my girlfriend?"
Laura's face turned a complete red, steam seemed to rise on the top of her head and her ways were quivering. She looked down and nodded her head.
"Yea, Kane. I'll be your girlfriend."
Kane's looked at her and warmth flowed in his heart.
Kane hugged her again even tighter than before and said.
"Let's get married."
Laura was even more surprised, and thought,' He just became my boyfriend, and now he wants to marry me? Wait I want this to happen!'
She instantly nodded her head and said, "Yes I will marry you!"
"Fufufu."
***
Loren's pov:
"That bastard!"
*Bam*
A fist-sized mold was on a locker.
"How dare he humiliate me. I swear I'll have my revenge, and I'll destroy everything you have. I'll rape your woman in front of your eyes as you watch with utter despair. I'll have my revenge Kane Vond, and I promise you'd wish you didn't mess with me."
Loren took out a small box from the broken locker. A silver ring with a black jewel in the middle was inside.
"You'll regret ever meeting me Kane Vond hehehe."
Loren grabbed the ring and put it in his pocket. He swiftly changed clothes and walked back to the arena. A calm look adorned his face, "Hehehe Kane Vond, what an eyesore."
***
"Prince of whatever, your back. I beginning to believe that you ran away. Well, I would actually prefer it that way."
Kane was hugging Laura with his left arm, and the sword was on his waist. Kane asked Noir if she can also turn into a scabbard, and she happily complied.
Loren's face still remained calm, but his eye had some wrinkled on the side.
"A win is a win, and I honor it. By no means will I ever back down on my words."
Kane was surprised but still stayed vigilant.
'He really didn't mind losing. But, he definitely has something in mind.'
"As for the conditions, I will leave this kingdom and never return. And this sword is yours, my wife will be here any minute now and you can have her as well."
Laura looked at Kane, scornfully and Kane let out a nervous chuckle.
"Ah, I can explain."
"Sigh*, no you don't have to. I'd already prepared myself for future concubines when I saw your face. But just as long I remain your first wife and you continue loving me, I'm fine with as many girls… Actually never mind, keep it to a minimum, I don't want to share you for too long."
Laura gave him an understanding look, and Kane felt guilty.
'Laura… sigh* I'll just explain it to her later.'
Kane simply nodded at what she said and pulled her closer to him.
Laura blushed again and had a tinge of sadness in her eyes.
Loren was infuriated, but he didn't show it.
Suddenly, the clacking of the heels can be heard from the right.
A tall gorgeous woman, with long wavy red hair, a large bosom, a thin waist, and a perfectly round bottom. She's wearing a red and black dress that completely matched her maroon hair. She walked toward Kane and said, "Hello, my name is Scarlet Rose Dane, it's a pleasure to meet you."
