Will of chaos

“What do you mean we made it on time?” (I)

“Do I tell them now?” (Margareth)

“No, let’s go to my private room first.” (Natasha)

I see my sister go to 1 counter out of 5 counters, the one she went to was the emptiest one, she stands a few seconds before a Dragonewt with blue scales comes guides us to a large room with sofas, buffet table and a drinks cabinet .

“Can you explain now?” (I)

“It’s not bad at all, just according to local customs, something very normal.” (Natasha)

“I sent Margareth ahead with some errands, that was tidying up their rooms and setting up debut matches for everyone.” (Natasha)

“What are debut matches?” (Irina)

“Something people who are in town for the first time do.” (Natasha)

“It’s called debut combat, a way to present yourself in this city, you demonstrate your skills in a combat, the winner can enjoy a buffet night in a VIP room, the restaurant in question is very good.” (Natasha)

“Is this mandatory in the city?” (I)

“No, but as this was created at the time of the founding of the city along with many other rules, it became a custom that everyone does.” (Margareth)

“Hahahaha… there’s no better way to perform than in combat.” (Natasha)

“Why does she look so happy?” (I)

“It was my master who created this tradition, she is very proud of having maintained it until today.” (Margareth)

“…” (I)

What a strange thing, a tradition where people have to fight each other in an arena, that doesn’t make sense to me.

“Could you tell me more about this Colosseum? What types of combat are there.” (Ivan)

“All types of combat are held, twice a week there are group fights, every day individual fights are organized and once a year a big tournament starts.” (Margareth)

“Can I place bets here?” (Loki)

“The Coliseum itself does not take bets.” (Margareth)

“She’s talking about whether she can arrange bets.” (Silvia)

“I’m going to do it anyway, but it would be good to know this to be sure how I’m going to do it.” (Loki)

“Do as you like, you can make the betting table in the stands next to the public or use this.” (Margareth)

Margareth goes to the sofa and takes a reading crystal a little longer than usual.

“With this you can arrange bets with people in the VIP seats, the private rooms and the VIP rooms.” (Margareth)

“Don’t try to steal, even though the Colosseum doesn’t place bets or interfere with the betting tables of others, they don’t let anyone use the Colosseum’s facilities or resources for criminal acts.” (Margareth)

“I see, thanks for the explanation.” (I)

After that we spent a few minutes talking about the Colosseum, in the end this place is 5 times more powerful inside than outside, the defenses of this place are also amazing from what my sister said.

“How does this fight we’re having today work?” (I)

“You appear on stage, then people on stage in the same power rank as you will raise their hand, 1 people among them will be chosen at random.” (Natasha)

“Sounds simple…” (I)

Knock Knock

“Excuse me, who among you will be first in the debut match?”

“I will, but could you tell me the rules?” (I)

“Deaths or complete destruction of body parts is prohibited, we also ask that you avoid dismemberment as much as possible.”

“Use of potions is prohibited if you are not a Combat Alchemist, any curse or poison used must be something that can be removed or cured.”

“Apart from these few rules we don’t have any more, the winner will be the one who makes the opponent admit defeat or leave the opponent unconscious.”

They are simple rules to understand and easy to remember, they are also fair rules in a way.

“Any advice for me before I leave?” (I)

“I think you’d better win, if you lose I’ll make a point of having a nice training session with you that you’ll never forget.” (Natasha)

“…” (I)

I suddenly felt a chill run down my back from the way she looks at me, it made me sure I had no choice but to win.

————-

Some minutes later.

When I’m on stage a crystal sphere rises and 4 large holographic screens form around it showing me that I’m wearing a hooded overcoat and I’m also wearing a mask.

I was in an arena, a large arena that seemed even bigger when I walked in, the sound of what’s going on outside I can’t hear, maybe the barrier around the arena is more than defending against critical hits.

After a few minutes some people raised their hands then a gray light flashed in everyone’s heads before there was only one left with his hand raised and the gray light covering him.

The one in front of me was a Dragonewt that came flying, it had silvery scales its Aura was almost solid and it was compacted in a thin layer around their body.

He had a chain with a scythe on one end and a spiked metal ball on the other end, his appearance was normal among the Dragonewt.

“Let’s see what the rookies are like today.”

As soon as he comes towards me I can

“< Physical Enhancement >”

“< Metal Body >”

“< Triple Enhancement >” (I)

I feel like he used mana, so he’s a magic type, his element seems to be metal, I use a similar technique to overcome his speed and strength, but I use the three nature energies at the same time.

With a superior speed I concentrated my Aura along with my Aura, I was compressing it into a Rune in my palm. 𝘣𝘦𝑑𝘯𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭．𝑛𝘦𝘵

“< Impact Wave >” (I)

As soon as he got close enough to me I dodged and landed a palm slash on his stomach.

He falls to the floor throwing up before losing consciousness, I look at him testing his skin, it was very rigid, then I look at his stomach, it was completely intact.

I realized that his specialty was defense, so instead of fighting his strong defense I try something to break through his defense, my technique worked and apparently the blow was better than I imagined for him to faint with just one hit.

At the end of the fight, announcing my name as the winner, I go back walking the same way until I reach my sister’s private room.
