Chapter 987 What The Hell Is She Doing?
987 What the hell is she doing?
"Is there anyone who wishes to challenge Nux Leander?
I will wait for 1 minute, all the participants who do wish to challenge the Groom jump onto the stage, your order of appearance would be the order of your battle."
Esme announced and just like she and everyone else thought.
Not a soul moved.
Challenging Nux Leander?
No sane bastard would do that.
He defeated the Vampire Hero, even Semi Saints are not Nux's match, who would want to fight him and embarrass themselves?
1 minute passed by,
"I take it that no one wishes to challenge the Groom anymore.
Hahaha~
This was definitely one of the most entertaining and dominant performances shown by any Groom in all the Ceremonial Unity Clash Events held throughout all the centuries.
An unknown man appearing and taking away the of the finest beauties of our younger generation while silencing everyone who stood in his way, how romantic-
I say my dear Sister struck gold, didn't she?"
Esme spoke as she winked at Melia.
Melia, who was sitting with her other sisters just looked away.
Esme chuckled,
"Anyways, with this, we will be continuing on with this event, participants can now appear on the stage and challenge anyone they would like and then profess their love for their desired partner in front of us all.
Luckily, this time, not only do we have the Vampire King to bless the couples, but we also have the rest of the Leaders of Yrniel, I can only say a bond formed under their eyes would be much stronger than any normal bond,
So the lovers, push out the fear or rejection out of your body, jump onto the stage and fight for the woman you love!"
"ò?D?D?D?D?D?D?D?D?!!"
Esme announced and the fired-up crowd cheered up again.
5 people jumped onto the stage at the same time, Esme randomly gave them their turns and the fights continued, after the first fight, the winner confessed his love and was accepted. It was one of the grandest moments of his life as more than 500,000 people cheered for him.
It was a good start to the round two of Ceremonial Unity Clash.
In the second battle, however, the winner was rejected, the Vampire still took it like a champ and returned to his seat.
In the third battle, a woman walked out. She was a Great Sage Cultivator and had a decent appearance.
As she stood in the middle of the stage confidently, Esme appeared in front of her and, "Selene Niara, who would you like to challenge?"
Selene then pointed at the box Nux and his wives were sitting in and with an arrogant look on her face, she called out,
"Anyone of you women other than Lady Melia, come forward and accept my challenge.
You do not deserve to be with Lord Nux."
"..."
"..."
The stadium turned silent again.
Just what in the hell was happening today...
Even Nux and his wives were taken aback,
"So are you guys going to fight for my sake?" Nux questioned with a strange look on his face.
"Is that even a question?" Allura questioned with a playful smile on her face.
"Look at her, she is rearing to go and fight." She then pointed at Astaria, who had already stood up.
"Star? You are the one who wants to go fight her?" Nux questioned with a strange look on his face.
"Hm? Can I not?" Astaria frowned in confusion.
"Just don't kill her, okay?"
"What do you take me for..." Astaria spoke with a deadpan look on her face.
"My absolutely lovely wife?"
"...I will go and fight."
Astaria turned away and jumped onto the stage.
"Oho~ What do we have here!? After people challenged the Groom, we have Selene who had now challenged the Brides!
And it seems Astaria Leander, one of the Brides has accepted the challenge.
So the next battle for this event, it would be Selene Niara vs Astaria Leander!
Let's cheer for them!"
Esme announced, and the roars erupted.
The two participants glanced at each other,
"It is good that you are a Body Cultivator," Astaria spoke with a slight smile on her face as she took out her sword.
"Oh? You are a Body Cultivator as well?" Selene questioned with a surprised look on her face.
"No, I am not," Astaria replied, then, her expression hardened and she pointed her sword at Selene.
Selene frowned in confusion,
"A Mana Cultivator who fights with a sword...?"
Soon, however, her expression changed as she realized,
"A Sword Cultivator."
A ridiculing smile appeared on her face as she glanced at Astara,
"Just as I thought, you do not deserve Lord Nux."
"And you think with a face like yours, you do?"
Astaria had learned some savage replies after bantering with her sisters all the time. Selene's face twitched in
anger, she then took out her sword and pointed it at Astaria.
"Let's see how a cultivator who has already reached her limit is going to fare in a battle!"
The Vampire and the human woman pointed their swords at each other.
Esme, who was floating in the air raised her hand, and then,
"Start!"
She shouted.
Selene rushed toward Astaria, closing the distance, as a Body Cultivator, she was obviously faster and stronger than Astaria.
Astaria, on the other hand, stood in a strange stance with her legs wide open, slightly bent, one hand behind while the one hand holding the sword that pointed towards Selene.
She didn't activate Sword Aura, she just waited for Selene to attack her, and when she did, she blocked her attack and directed her sword in another direction while completely changing her style.
An extremely impractical method considering the battle stance she took was made for attacking rather than passively defending herself.
Selene didn't care, she regained her balance and without giving Astaria any time, she swung her sword.
This time, although Astaria did manage to deflect Selene's sword, she was a little late causing her right shoulder to be grazed, that, however, didn't change anything, she moved her sword and aimed for Selene's right leg, Selene rolled aside and kicked the shoulder that was grazed by her sword. 𝘣𝘦𝑑𝘯𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭．𝑛𝘦𝘵
"Ugghh..."
Astaria groaned in pain as she was pushed away.
And Nux, who was watching the battle frowned in confusion,
