Cressida was going to hit Chlevern real hard this time. She was so pumped up that she could not even think of anything else but Rage and Bloodlust. She was just going to hit Chlevern but then, Chlevern said something to himself or rather to something.
"System, activate Skill BloodBath."
[Skill BloodBath Lvl. 10 has been activated
Your attack and defense stats will now increase by +20]
*SWOOSH~~~~*
Saying this, Chlevern's expression changed. His face darkened and when Cressida's punch was just an inch away from Chlevern, he disappeared. Cressida in her Rage mode, was able to see far more details than she could normally. A fast paced object, faster than normal eyes could see, could be clearly seen by Cressida in her Rage mode. But Chlevern was an exception.
Although she could see fast movements, this time she was struggling to keep up with Chlevern's pace. It was like he was as fast as light. She was trying to trace him down by observing his footwork but her efforts were in vain. She was confused.
'How can he trick my eyes?!', thought Cressida.
Her eyes were glowing blood red.
Chlevern floated calmly in the air, his eyes were glowing red as well. Cressida's red eyes displayed rage whereas Chlevern's red eyes displayed calmness.
Cressida tried to attack Chlevern with an energy wave of Rage but to counter it, Chlevern sent forth a mana wave himself.
Both the mana waves clashed causing a huge amount of energy to release and both the waves got nullified.
"How's that possible? How can your mana wave nullify my mana wave?!", shouted Cressida.
"Simple..... Opposite attributes if clashed together, nullify each other like, the sum of positive and negative is zero.", said Chlevern.
"I don't understand what the hell you are saying. But this will be your end.", she said firmly.
'Seriously? Does she not know basic Maths? Or maybe she was never taught? Who knows....', thought Chlevern sighing.
Chlevern had to end this fight as quickly as possible as his time was wasted and he still had to train. Today was the day when Mr. Kingspeare was going to teach Chlevern Sorcery and after that he had to learn Cultivation and most importantly he had to return to Earth in 6 months.
Chlevern took a fighting stance and pounced towards Cressida to attack her. But she looked down with a dark expression and punched Chlevern with the back of her hand towards the wall. Chlevern was surprised. He was injured.
'So this is how it is.', thought Chlevern.
"Activate Skill, PainKiller!", said Chlevern getting up.
[Skill, PainKiller Lvl. 5 has been the activated
Your wounds will recover now]
His wounds started healing and then he got a notification from the system.
[You had been using the Skill PainKiller to heal grave injuries. Using it one more time will level it up by 10.]
*SWOOSH~~~~~*
"If that's the case, I have to do it. Isn't it weird? Getting hurt just to level up your skill.", said Chlevern cracking his knuckles.
Cressida stood there with a dark expression for some time and then looked up with an intimidating look but it did not affect Chlevern a bit.
Intimidating Look was an effect that brought your enemies to their knees. But for Chlevern the system said,
[Your Resistance is high, the effect, 'Intimidating Look' will be cancelled]
Chlevern thought, 'THE SYSTEM IS FREAKING AMAZING!'.
Cressida then saw Chlevern standing unaffected which made her more angry and she approached Chlevern with an intent of not defeating but killing.
Chlevern was ready but then, someone barged into the stadium and stood in front of Chlevern and stopped Cressida in her tracks.
The impact was too strong and it caused a huge amount of force to be released causing smoke in the whole field.
Chlevern quickly covered his face from his hands. Kingspeare entered the stadium too. He had been strolling out as he was confident about his disciple. But when he returned he saw smoke in the field which made him worried and he dashed into the stadium.
When the smoke cleared, Chlevern uncovered his hands and opened his eyes slowly. And then, in front of him he saw Artendo. He had stopped Cressida and he held her in the air by her collar.
Cressida's Rage Mode faded away and she felt overwhelming power and quickly recognised who it was.
"MASTER!!!! HOW ARE YOU HERE?", exclaimed Cressida with terror in her eyes.
"Cressida De'Lava, you have broken the rules of Dark Dungeon of Hell Clan. You have been out of the premises of our Kingdom for too long without the consent of the King of the Clan. I shall see what punishment would fit you better.", said Artendo with audible heaviness in his voice and anger, but it did not show on his face. His look was enough.
"Mr. Artendo? why are you here??", asked Chlevern confused.
"What are you doing here, Artendo?", asked Kingspeare with a not so welcoming look.
"This disciple of mine, had been here all this time without me knowing it. I have to punish her.", said Artendo, still holding Cressida in the air.
"Master, please forgive me.", said Cressida trying desperately to break free from Artendo's grip.
"Mr. Artendo you should leave her. I think she is uncomfortable.", said Chlevern.
"Does it matter. She has broken the rules of our Clan. She has to be punished and since we are here at the Field of Battles, The Punishment Chamber should be nice.", said Artendo with a plain but intimidating expression.
"Wait, she did not lose the fight still. She cannot be sent to the Punishment Chamber.", said Chlevern shocked.
"He is right Artendo. The fight is still going. You cannot interupt like this.", said Kingspeare with visible anger.
"Don't jump in this matter Kingspeare. Or else....", said Artendo looking at Kingspeare.
"Or else what?", said Kingspeare losing his cool.
"I will have to show you your place.", warned Artendo, unleashing his powers a little.
"I want to see how you try.", said Kingspeare, unleashing his powers as well.
"Is that so?", said Artendo.
The Ground beneath them, the sky above everything began to shake and crackle due to the tremendous release of power by both the beings.
'If I don't jump in now, there will be a clash between the two Fragments of the 'GREAT SIP OF RECREATION' causing everything getting destroyed.', thought Chlevern sweating.
"Haah, I lost the interest. I don't want to start another war.", said Artendo, leashing his powers again.
"Rather a wise decision.", said Kingspeare, leashing his powers as well.
"And for you Cressida, are you ready for the punishment?", asked Artendo looking at Cressida again.
"No please forgive me master, I will do anything you will say, I will not do this again please master show mercy, please!", begged Cressida almost crying.
"Have a good time in Punishment Chamber Cressida.", said Artendo, ready to throw her in the Punishment Chamber.
"No master, sorry, please don't, please don't, please-", she begged but before she could complete, she was thrown inside the Punishment Chamber.
"CRESSIDA!!!", shouted Chlevern also jumping inside the Punishment Chamber.
"Tsk, what a brat.", said Artendo, annoyed.
Artendo left the stadium and teleported to the Dark Dungeon of Hell.
Kingspeare was just worried about them and kept staring at the place where the entrance to the Punishment Chamber was.
'Will they be okay?', thought Kingspeare, worried but he was confident Chlevern could manage it.
*Meanwhile inside the Punishment Chamber*
Cressida was falling down, with her eyes closed. She was too sad to open her eyes. Her tears flowed.
'How did this happen?', thought Cressida.
'I think I will never exit this Punishment Chamber.', thought Cressida again.
She was still falling down. Her eyes were still closed.
The Punishment Chamber was like another dimension, for the punishment of losers.
Cressida was getting depressed when she heard a voice calling out for her.
"Cressida, I am here to save you. I will take you back.", said the voice.
She opened her eyes a little and saw Chlevern's image approaching towards her.
"Don't worry, I am here. Just hold on a little.", said Chlevern holding Cressida while falling.
'Chlevern..... he is helping me?', thought Cressida with her eyes a little open.
'Maybe he is really different. Thanks, Chlevern.', thought Cressida and closed her eyes again but with a small smile on her face.
The End
