Erindor glanced at Red Magma and muttered " As expected ... She won"...
The coliseum shook with cheers , as discussions rung in the atmosphere...
" I knew Red magma would win "..
" As expected of my goddess..."
"Damn, I owe that guy 500 dollars when I log off... I made a useless promise to him that if Red Magma wins, I will give him 500 dollars..."..
" If you know you are broke, why did you make a useless promise with money ?"
" I've hit the jackpot ... I'm rich..."...
" Those of you who said that if Tenacious lose the match you are gonna lick the bleachers... where are you .. kekekeekehehe.."
This and many other conversations had broken out in the collisuem...
****
"Seems like it's time for me to hop into the battles and see what I can do... " Erindor muttered to himself as a holographic screen appeared before him....
He glanced at the list of awakened who were online and sent an invite to someone random ....
The name of the person was ''Wind reaper E+ rank"..
"This is obviously someone with the wind affinity , and we are at the same rank... Interesting "..Erindor muttered to himself ...
To Erindor's surprise , just when he sent the invite to the person,the individual accepted the request to duel him...
The monotone voice of the gsme AI rung in Erindor's mind "Searching for available coliseum for duel...Available coliseum found... "..
The moment the monotone voice of the AI rung in Erindor's ears... His environs changed..
He found himself in an empty coliseum that was extremely quiet...
The only person available in the arena was the individual who had accepted his request to duel him... The gentleman boasted a tall, lanky build with yellow hair...
He had an arrogant expression on his face .. he seemed to be probably 19 or 20 years old..
The moment Erindor glanced at the gentleman and saw the expression on his face, he sighed -" Another arrogant young master ... I suppose I should just get this over with"...
" It's you?.. to think luck will be on my side... I heard you humiliated my younger cousin Duke in class a few days ago... I'd have never thought I'd have the chance of crushing you this early ... I'm gonna brag about how I trashed you tomorrow in..."
Before Wind Reaper could even finish talking , Erindor muttered to himself " Trash talk , so cliche... "
-" I suppose this is the perfect chance to try out shadow mask and umbra kinesis..."..
Erindor used his shadow mask skill disappearring from his current location in the blink of an eye,merging with the shadow of Wind Reaper ...
" Where the hell did he disappear to " Wind Reaper couldn't help but wonder in a split second...
However his question was answered in the next very second...
He watched astonished as in the next few breaths, his own shadow twisted and coalesced into an ethereally dark silhouette with a black shadowy sword ...
" What the ..."...
Before he could process what happened... The ethereally dark silhouette with the dark shadowy sword swung the sword with its right hand towards his neck with uncanny speed...
"... hell"...His last words finally registered, before his head rolled into the air, falling on the ground,with blood gusing out of his headless body which fell down and turned into smithereens of light ....
The monotone voice of the AI rung in the colisuem , accompanied by a large holographic text.... " Viper wins"...
-" So much for all that trash talk.....Umbra kinesis works pretty well..."
Erindor deactivated the shadow mask skill and the shadow manipulation skill at the same time,returning to his previous location before he used it.....
" Let's battle someone else ... I heard that after 10 continual winning battles, the AI of the game will announce a winning streak , let's see if that's true.."
*****
Erindor's second opponent was a water affinity user.. Erindor used the same method he used to defeat wind reaper to defeat her...
Erindor had made use of his uncanny shadow affinity to take his opponent by surprise by utilizing umbrakinesis again.. Before the opppnent even had a chance to prepare an attack, he would utterly crush them..
****
Erindor was currently about to battle the tenth opponent...
He has used the same method since the start of his first battle to utterly crush all his previous opponents...He had won all his previous nine matches .
The tenth opponent was called Voltage...
The individual, like all the ones he had battled was an E+ rank awakened...
She had a robust , curvy and tall physique with a doll like face.and black hair...
And just when Erindor appeared before her in the colisuem , she utilized her affinity...
Tendrils of sizzling lightning appeared in her arms, which she launched madly at Erindor in the coliseum...
-"What the ... She didn't even give me the chance to catch a breath.... Is it that time of the month or something ?"... Erindor quickly used his shadow mask skill, disappearing into her shadow...
Voltage ceased her assault, looking vigilantly at the surroundings for any sign of him..
-" Must be some stealth skill...come out little fish.."... She mused...
Meanwhile, Erindor hiding in her shadow, muttered to himself ..
-" After this win, I'll try using only shadow manipulation in battles..." Erindor mused to himself...
-"this time let's try something different with Umbra Kinesis ...Let's try a more stealthy approach"..
Instead of Erindor turning into an ethereally dark shadowy figure holding a dark shadowy sword, Voltage's shadow, which Erindor had merged with, shifted on the ground to her behind...
Then, as she searched her front for any sign of her opponent ,her shadow that had shifted behind her on the ground coalesced into a pair of ethereally dark shadowy hands holding a pair of dark shadowy sickles.....
Che... Che...
" What the ..."... Voltage registered it too late... She had been cleanly stabbed deeply at the back of her neck ..... The pain of the attack assaulting her intensely ...
"Got you..." A chilly voice that contained maddened glee rung in her ears....
Her vision dwindled, she held her neck dripping voraciously with blood instinctively .., however it was too late... She fell down....with blood gashing out of her neck, turned into motes of light... and disappeared ...
The attacker appeared at the initial location he was before he had utilized the shadow mask skill when the match begun , his hands clad in his hoody pockets....
[Congratulations to E+ ranked awakened Viper for establishing his first winning streak in Ultra fighters... ]...
" I guess I'm officially famous...".. Erindor yawned ...
