Chapter 242 - You Cripple!
"Damn! What did I just see?"
"That was so short and brutal! Can we even call this a fight? How is this possible?"
"Fairy Valentina is three levels weaker than the Charming Snake, but this seemed so ridiculously one-sided. How did she not get hurt by those wind blades?"
"I think it had got to do something with how bizarre her body appeared to be when she rushed towards Dennisa. It was like she was becoming invisible one moment and then visible the next. Is this even possible?"
"Then does this mean that Fairy Valentina is now ranked 36th in the Eternal Hall of Fame rankings?"
"I think the seniors are now not going to be happy seeing a newcomer threatening their ranks. This is the first time a first-year disciple made their way into the Eternal Hall of Fame rankings. I have no doubt now that before she graduates, she may very well end up in the top three ranks at least."
The crowd was bustling with many excited banters going on while some of the instructors frowned and swiftly ordered some people to bring Dennisa to the medical ward.
Some of the faculty who were subtly working for the Rivers family felt sweat streaming down their back, thinking how they should give an explanation for what happened.
Even if it wasn't any of their faults, they knew they would have to endure Harvey Rivers' wrath.
Valentina walked over to a stand nearby, where Yara was standing with a jubilant expression. Yara excitedly shook her hand as she shouted, "Congratulations, my youngest and strongest genius. Now you are officially the strongest among us and even most of the third years. You surely taught her a nice lesson. Now no one will dare to mess with you, hehe."
Valentina smiled, hearing her words, and then looked over to Damien and saw him looking at her with a proud gaze.
She smiled radiantly, seeing how proud he was of her, and gave him a thumbs-up, cheering him on.
Yara suddenly remembered something Damien said to Roy before and asked Valentina in a curious tone, "Valentina, what did Damien earlier mean by calling you his girlfriend? Did he mean it like a girl who is a friend or the one as in, his lover?"
Valentina's expression became dreamy as her eyelashes fluttered, thinking about the things that happened recently with Damien.
Yara's mouth became a big 'O' as she cupped her mouth while mumbling in an excited tone, "No way!" She gripped Valentina's arm as she continued with her mouth still open, "Did he really accept your love?"
A beatific smile hung on Valentina's lips as she nodded.
Yara had a shocked expression as she wondered why Damien would suddenly accept Valentina as his woman when all this while he adamantly refused to have another woman.
"Does this mean he finally is on the path to harem?" Yara cried out.
"Harem?" Valentina asked as she squinted her eyes.
Yara nodded, "Yes. Or did you forget about this other mysterious lover? Did he tell you who she is?"
Valentina's eyes became a bit down as she shook her head, "No...I don't know who she is."
However, she firmly pressed her lips together and said in a determined tone, "But it doesn't matter because I will make sure he loves the best, and no one is going to take him away from me."
Yara felt a slight chill seeing Valentina's glazed blood-red eyes and wondered if she should pity Damien's other lover for what was about to happen if they had a face-off.
She felt glad that Damien wasn't her type and didn't try to flirt with him. Otherwise, she couldn't imagine what Valentina would do.
She was more into cute and innocent boys who looked as if they needed a lot of caring and protection.
However, she still found it hard to believe that Damien, who till recently sister zoned Valentina, suddenly accepted her. She wondered if he was hiding his feelings but then couldn't understand why.
If it was because he was afraid of his lover being angry, then she should at least be near him to keep a check on him. But it seemed as if his lover was far away. Otherwise, she was sure Valentina would have met her.
Meanwhile, Roy gritted his teeth as he turned his neck back towards Damien. He took out his weapon, which was a dual-wielded sharp blue steel saber, and slowly the metal became red hot as he heated it with his ethereal energy.
Roy decided not to underestimate Damien too much just because of his ego and let himself end up like Dennisa. The last thing he wanted was to be humiliated before everyone, and the shame he endured recently was more than enough to mortify him for his entire lifetime.
Although Roy didn't feel the need to be hundred-percent serious against Damien, he didn't want to leave anything to chance.
He remembered how Damien toyed with Luke just with his speed.
Damien smiled, seeing that Roy was too shaken up by Dennisa's defeat that he started to become cautious.
"Take out your weapon, Damien. Or are you having cold feet, feeling that you don't have any hopes of winning?"
Damen gave a lopsided grin as he said, "It seems like you are the one having cold feet. Just before, you told me you didn't need any weapon to defeat me, but now it seems like you are afraid."
Roy's eyes twitched hearing his snide.
"I will make you shut your mouth forever!"
He gripped his saber tight, and with a loud roar, he struck the ground with it.
Damien saw intense flames bursting out from Roy's saber and spreading out in the shape of a ring swiftly.
Within just moments, the ring of fire surrounded Damien and Roy, and it seemed like Damien didn't even have enough space to run around as the ring of fire was too close to him.
"Haha, now let's see you try to run, Damien. Of course, you can try if you don't mind getting burned, haha." Roy looked at Damien as if he was a trapped chicken waiting to be slaughtered down.
Roy first wondered if Damien would try to move out of the ring of fire before it could form a complete circle. But he felt Damien was stupid to still stay in the same spot and try to get out before the ring of fire surrounded him.
Even if Damien had tried to leave, he would have pre-attacked the only path Damien could take to escape from the ring of fire.
He knew the concept of throwing the stone ahead of a running dog to hit it. But apparently, he didn't even have to go to that extent of the trouble.
But seeing that cold smile still on Damien's face, he felt irritated, thinking that he was still looking down on him, a proud Elite disciple and ranked in the Eternal Hall of Fame rankings as well.
'Hmm, at least he isn't a complete idiot,' Damien inwardly muttered as he finally took out his sword, Knightfall.
He had no plans of ending his match with Roy fast since he wanted to know how much he could hold on with his Anti-God Arts while fighting seriously.
While sparring with Valentina, no matter how much he wanted, subconsciously, he would never be able to truly go all out, just like how it would be for her.
He knew that after his recent breakthrough, he should be able to maintain the first phase of Undying Wrath without much burden for a while before he starts feeling exhausted.
Seeing the top-notch sword made out of Darksilver steel in Damien's hands, he wondered if Valentina bought it for him.
"Hmph, you sure know how to choose your woman. I wonder what all things you made her buy for you," Roy said with a mocking smile.
"Stop wagging your tongue and come at me, you cripple!" Damien shouted with a sneer.
Roy's expression became ugly when he heard Damien call him a cripple. He gripped his sabers tighter, thinking whether Valentina blurted out what all happened to Damien.
No, he thought it was natural that Valentina would reveal everything to Damien and felt humiliated, thinking that his most hated enemy knows about his weakness.
Even now, his manhood was technically crippled and only showed some signs of being slowly healed but had no idea when it would be completely healed. He knew how tough it was to heal his crippled manhood and was satisfied that it seemed to heal at least no matter how slow it was.
Meanwhile, the crowd had flummoxed expressions on their face wondering why Damien called Roy a cripple.
Roy couldn't bear it any longer and decided to end Damien as fast as possible instead of trying to toy with him. He didn't want to give Damien the chance to blurt out more of his humiliating moments.
"HAAAAAA!!!" With a wild roar, he charged towards Damien as both of his sabers blazed intensely.
