ICE EMPEROR

THE COMPETITION RESUMED

Night in the city of Eartfil, just like the night before, but tonight is the night of determination for my disciples.

Right, the night of the full moon, it's time to see if his leveling up can hold the blood of the Vampire Vira up...

In the inn room, Yugi looks sitting on his mattress while looking at Vira who meditated on the floor accompanied by Neo beside him. A reddish aura emanated from the half-vampire's body, flowing calmly around the body. Crossing and coiling then becoming one in the middle of her navel. This is done so that the blood of vampires in Vira can be controlled even though it is now a full moon.

“Focus your mind on staying calm when vampire blood wants to control you. The moon tonight looks so bright, it's perfect for his resurrection. Vira, don't lose to your other self.”

Yugi's words were either conveyed or not, because Vira's serious face with a lot of sweat, concentration so serious, it might just be the wind then for him. Neo himself who was beside him could feel such a powerful aura that was revolting. Half-Vampire human blood is always faced by the choice where he must mediate his humanity and the blood of Vampire monsters. The Vampire race itself is arguably a part of the highly respected monster race, but many say they are a half animal human race. Because of their human-like stature compared to monsters so it is not surprising that Vampire monsters are often juxtaposed with humans. While the animal race itself is commonly referred to as a race of monsters whose stature does resemble a monster, but there is also a race of half-animal humans or a combination of humans with monsters that give birth to half-animal humans, but there is also a race of half-animals, that was a race that was often hated by his original race. Usually, such half-breeds are always exiled and are considered not part of the monster race or humans, but not everyone considers it a problem. For Yugi himself it is unavoidable, not their own desires that are born as half a race. Therefore there is no reason to exclude them.

The atmosphere in the room began to change, Yugi could feel it, the blood of the Vampire Vira started to rise. That rosy aura started to turn blackened blood red, Vira's body started to change back, the aura enveloped her, her toenails and hands began to extend, her Vampire fangs started to extend out from her mouth. Her body began to grow and become an adult woman who was the same age as Yugi, or even more mature.

“What failed?” ask Yugi.

Before concluding what was in front of him, Yugi's head possessed a voice from his mind.

[“Too quickly give up, judging by the situation he still holds himself back from being controlled by his thirst.”]

‘If you say so, I still doubt he can do it. Raising the level did help him but it could not guarantee Vira could control the blood of her ancestors.’

Yugi's words of thought are rebutted by Yui who is still convinced of the success of this exercise.

[“We'll see it finally.”]

Then what was thought by Neo as Vira's partner. He was still standing next to Vira without doing anything, but he should have known about his response to the familiar. The contract mark on Vira's back appeared due to the surge of Mana coming out too heavily. It creates a bond between them, in other words Neo can feel what is felt by Vira. The power that kept flowing to him was like a waterfall that kept washing his head.

“Ah..”

The surge of Vampire blood made Vira suffer a little while holding back her desires. The instinct for a Vampire is very strong, if his desire to suck blood is stronger than his consciousness then surely he will be controlled by his other self, the Vampire. Both of his eyes opened and revealed blood-red black eyes with vertical black pupils. But this eye was different when Vira changed inside the old mansion's basement, this change was purely Vampire itself, it was obvious that the eye that came out was a bloodthirsty Vampire's eye.

“I knew this would happen.” It is not easy to control his instincts, Yugi realizes it and prepares all this carefully. “Vira, can you tell me something.”

There was no reply from the interlocutor, Vira was still silent but her saliva could be the answer of all the questions to be asked. Yep... Vira could not hear Yugi's words, all he had in mind now was the desire to suck blood. If asked if Vira is still conscious, the answer is of course not. His other consciousness was already overpowered by his Vampire blood.

Yugi activates his observation eyes and sees the Mana flow inside Vira's body. Unlike the first time Vira changed, the flow of Mana in her body was still flowing normally, only her Mana had turned slightly darker. In other words it is not Mana that belongs to humans in general. It was very different, it was like most of the monsters had. The Mana that flows within the Vira now is the Vampire Mana.

Not long ago Yugi was about to take a step closer to Vira, suddenly the person who was willing to be approached lunged at him with his hands forward like he was about to strangle. Receiving the impromptu attack made Yugi unable to avoid it, he could only hold down Vira's hands with his hands while looking into her eyes. The canine teeth were opened towards Yugi was about to bite him, the goal was the neck that looks tantalizing.

I saw it, my disciple looked so savage, this was the blood of a Vampire.but seeing him like this I felt like crying, he must have suffered a lot to endure all this. His fear of self, shunned only because it was different from other races. Then am I also afraid of him, no. I am not afraid of him. I am not afraid of Vira, what I am afraid of is when he went far without being able to reach...

Perhaps this feeling was also felt by him, fearing all that he wanted to reach away from... but if his friend finds out he's half a Vampire, he's still willing to take it...

That's what you're afraid of, Vira...

“Aagghhhhh..”.

I've been letting you suck my blood, but today is different. I want you to control it. I know you can definitely be Vira, because you're my student...

The resistance from Vira began to slacken, at least now it could slightly hold its lunge. Neo who had been silent to see his master attack his own teacher began to act by swinging his tail to be long and binding Vira's body then pulled him away from Yugi. Rebellion had occurred because of his movement in the bridle by his own family. Vira looks so angry and tries to get out of Neo's tail.

‘How now?’

The question from Yugi is still being processed by Yui, no answer has been answered in the space of a few minutes. Waiting long enough to make Yugi start to fidget, if not act now then it will be too late to stop Vira. But just as he was about to act, a voice from Yui made him stop.

[“Wait a minute.”]

What awaits again, Yugi is confused about the thoughts of his dragon god partner. Do we still have to wait any longer when the student starts getting wild.

But suddenly the movement of Vira began to stop, what was it? At that moment Yugi started to activate the magic in his eyes again and saw the Mana flow point flowing from his student's body. There was something that made the flow of his Vampire Mana stop, it was the flow of Mana possessed by humans. It turned out that so, his disciple was still conscious and started to fight against his Vampire blood. Now all he needed to do was tame the Vampire's blood then his consciousness would return. Yugi just needs to wait until all that happens. Neo's tail twists against Vira begin to be released and make his body splashed on the floor with a position tilted to the right back to Yugi. Everything became calmer, Vira's body had also become normal again, her unnatural growth had disappeared. Even so the adult body is very tempting, like women who are in discotheque restaurants. So plump and ideal, so coveted by wealthy men, they would definitely pay anything just to spend the night with him.

Remembering all that in his mind made Yugi embarrassed himself, his face clearly reddened. Especially when Vira lunged at her, as if they were going to do the first night for a couple of newlyweds. Aahhh, what a dirty thought, what happened to him. The question continued to revolve in Yugi's mind, this new feeling no, this feeling he had also felt at the time in the Northern Esla kingdom, more precisely when together with Elna. What desire is within him. It felt so hot, dizzy and confused, everything was just the mind of an adult woman with her beautiful body. Yugi shook his head violently and turned his face away from Vira, it seemed like he had to clear his mind. Yugi walks towards the bathroom to wash his dizzy head.

Neo does not care about Yugi, he keeps an eye on his master who is still lying on the floor. It seemed like holding the blood of the Vampire within his body had succeeded, for now he would not turn into a Vampire, in Neo's own mind now only thinking of Vira. Whether it's a feeling of worry or just curiosity about Vira. I don't know...

In the bathroom, Yugi sees himself in the mirror, touching his left cheek with his left hand, while imagining Vira's sexy body shortly after changing. Instantly Yugi's face flushed hot and quickly washed it several times to relieve the heat on his body. Actually it is a normal thing for men in puberty. But what Yui thought was different, this was already known by the dragon god. What Yugi experienced was not something ordinary, but he did not expect that this would happen so quickly.

[‘It has started to feel yes..’]

The thought of this ice dragon god could not be heard by Yugi, he was still busy withstanding the heat in his body. Because it was so hot, Yugi decided to take a shower tonight. Shower with cold water, which is very cold. Because Yugi added ice in his bathtub and soaked into it. And it proved effective in resisting the feeling of heat that had appeared. If Yugi empties his mind of it, then he can become calmer. Yugi was still thinking about that, what exactly was that feeling.

That night was a very long night...

Then, the next morning...

“Hoooaaamm..”

I woke up earlier than anyone in this room, yup... Vira and Neo sleep in his bed, after a long overnight ritual, Vira faints and falls asleep until morning, accompanied by Neo who sleeps beside him...

Considering today is a tournament that has been waiting for 2 days, I thought I would warm up before making breakfast...

Yugi walks out of the inn and jogs around the city while enjoying the morning air is very fresh, the sun is still not emerging, but the streets have begun to be seen because the rays of the morning began to appear. The morning shadows were visible, some people were staring at Yugi who was running in the morning, most of them were adults who opened the shop, some soldiers who were patrolling, and they were all adults, there were a few of them who greeted Yugi with friendly smiles. What a refreshing morning...

This peaceful atmosphere, it's been a long time since it reminds me of my hometown. Aries Kingdom how is it. More importantly, is my home okay huh...

Yugi still had time to think about his house that was abandoned during this adventure. Already he should have thought about it, how could he have left already nearly 3 months and not returned. But everyone must have thought Yugi was dead.

Does he think I'm dead...

What he was thinking about right now was the person who had been with him and had accompanied him since childhood. A childhood friend might say that. But for Yugi, he is more than that, his feelings are still not conveyed, to the person he loves so much.

The run was halted when it reached the colosseum, where the royal competition was held. Now that it was still unopened, seeing the arena in front of him made Yugi a little nervous. But all that is just the assumption of people who are not ready to fight. Because he is now very ready, so what he feels is not nervous, but the feeling of impatience in the competition that will soon be continued.

“For sure, all participants will be very excited in this fight.”

It was true what Yugi said, all the participants in their respective places had already prepared for this fight. Both in terms of equipment, mental and physical readiness, all of it has been prepared in such a way. And to himself, it was very prepared, even his smile looked so convincing.

Already satisfied with the warm-up that is quite draining stamina, although all he does is run around the city but it is enough to sweat it. Yugi returns to the inn for breakfast the next morning. Today he did not make it but bought it directly at the inn. Because today was a special day, he ordered enough food to eat. Until Vira herself was confused, she thought that her teacher was celebrating something.

“There's what Vira, let's eat before it cools.”

Vira was silent for a moment in response to Yugi's words. Until he finally said out of curiosity.

“Tumben teacher ordered food rather than make it, and also this is quite a lot for three people.” What Vira means by three is Neo. It seems like he is considered a friend rather than a familiar one in general.

“I don't think it's a problem, Neo doesn't bother about that anyway. Looks like he's the most enthusiastic about eating.” Reply Yugi, it is true that Neo ate it very greedily. Though a familiar can get food through the Mana of its owner or from nature.

“Eating a lot is good for your growth Mr.”

True what Neo said, eating a lot is very much needed for Vira so that its growth is better. But Neo's words like more on his chest, when that night Neo himself saw the adult changes Vira is very filled, especially on the chest, no matter what size cup that time. But it is a pretty big asset to attract the lust of men. Then why did Neo speak when Yugi had forbidden him to speak, especially now that they were in an inn restaurant, a public place for everyone who wanted to eat here. That's because the place is still quiet, yes here there are only them, and of course the owner of this inn who is far away in the kitchen, so this conversation is only them (Yugi, yugi, Only Vira and Neo) know.

“I think there's a certain celebration.”

Yugi who heard it looked at Vira with a question in his head, then he smiled and remembered something.

“This is indeed a celebration.”

The answer from Yugi made Vira a little confused, if this is indeed a celebration, continue what is being celebrated. Yugi's words continued.

“We're celebrating your successful control of Vampire blood. Congratulations to my great student..”.

An unexpected surprise, his teacher smiled proudly at him. For some reason it felt so happy, as though tears wanted to come out of his eyes. During this time he was only considered a pest and was seen as despicable by everyone. A half race like himself was always everyone's material. His most beloved was his mother, his mother who was always by his side. But now, there was one more person who had filled the place, Vira today felt very happy.

“Hiks... thank you, guru.”.

I cried, in front of my teacher, even Neo saw me in this state. It's very sad, but this feeling I can't resist, so far many have given up on it. To be driven from one place to another, until finally living in the forest together with my mother, it filled my heart and made me rise again. Now I have a new purpose, and all this, because of him...

“Not to cry so, this is just the beginning of all your adventures. I'll show you more happiness.”

It was just the beginning, but this happiness was enough for me. Even if I have to die now I will be happy, but the teacher will give me a happiness beyond this, I have to how to accept it. I want to see it, I want to feel it... the happiness that Yugi will give me, and this life of mine, I will give to my teacher, no. I will give it to Yugi, the person who means so much in my life, i'll keep...

“Newly yes... In that case, this will also be a celebration of the victory of the teacher in the tournament.”

Vira's cry stopped and was replaced by a sweet smile from her. Yugi who saw the sincere smile was only able to smile warmly to reply.

“Padahal not necessarily win, but already celebrated course.” (Yugi)

“Because I knew the teacher would definitely win.” (Vira)

“Of course, I don't intend to lose easily.” (Yugi)

“Returned.”

Vira raises her glass followed by Yugi.

“Returned.”

The two glasses clashed against each other with a slightly audible [ting] sound. The atmosphere became warm again accompanied by a sweet morning smile from Vira. Neo who had listened to this conversation between teacher and student just kept quiet while enjoying his food, but in his heart he smiled for his master. Because Vira's feelings could Neo feel and flow so warmly.

The competition was about to restart, everyone gathered into the arena, be it participants, spectators and the king accompanied by his queen. For the princess, today she did not come to watch, I don't know what happened to her. The referee in this match is still unchanged, Rud as the referee and commentator look so excited. The participants who escaped before were already in the arena to listen to the direction of the referee.

“It looks like today's fight will be even more exciting. But, why didn't Lani come to watch?”

The question from the king made his wife who was on the side answer that.

“She said there was something she had to do. Let it be, after all he is an adult, there may be many things he needs to do.”

“I think you're right my wife.”

The conversation between the king and queen came to a halt when he saw that the fight was about to begin. Rud who saw that all the participants were ready to listen to his instructions, immediately without wasting time showing a magic monitor screen in front of the participants. On the screen there are the names of the participants whose order of name from number one onwards, according to the order in which their names are called when the announcement passed to the next round two days ago.

Yugi looked at his number one name, it seemed like he would compete first in today's opening.

“Your name is inside the screen, the rules are the same as before, only this fight is one on one. Those who manage to defeat their opponents will advance to the next round.”

All the participants looked so serious, although there were some who looked relaxed, indifferent, ordinary and excited. The most impatient is Maruya, who is Yugi's friend. The yellow unraveler is the same, he is the prince of Boltendra, his nature is so not far from Maruya. There are also those who just stare flat at the screen with a cold view, even though the air around it feels hot.

'I know only he can let out this kind of heat. What a serious prince.' Thought (Yugi)

Yugi looked at Rexas who looked very enthusiastic with the prestige of his prince who was very obvious. Some of them were also very wary of the Rexas prince.

“According to the order of the name, participants who feel his name appears on the screen please stay in the arena.”

After the referee said that, it was true that Yugi's name first appeared in the follow by his opponent. Yugi was a little surprised when he saw the name of his opponent, at the beginning he had to fight adventurers from the kingdom he had once visited. It was a coincidence that kept coming one after another.

“Participants who will fight as openers today, is Yugi the adventurer from Aries against the adventurous Eduardo from Northern Esla.”

All the spectators became excited, they knew both of them were extremely great users of the ice element. In the previous fight, they were shown the abilities of each participant with its ice element. It was stunning and looked so strong, they guessed which ice element was stronger between the two participants.

The unnamed participant left the arena, leaving Yugi and Eduardo there. The two of them faced each other while waiting for the referee's instructions.

“The first fight will begin soon, participants named Yugi and Eduardo prepare for their respective positions.”

The atmosphere seemed to become heavier, they still remained staring at each other with a serious look. Until the referee continues his words.

“Third round kingdom competition, opener on today, fight starts.”

The two participants instantly darted at each other with their right hands covered in ice aura.

Duars

The attack collided as the fists of the two met in the middle of the arena. At first glance they appear to smile at each other, and push each other to make his opponent retreat.

“I didn't know we'd meet like this, Northern Esla.” hero (Eduardo)

“I'm glad anyone knows me, even though I don't know you myself.” (Yugi)

The two pushed each other and kept their distance from each other, visible from their impact, the ground that was previously hit by the ice wave instantly froze. It signified how strong the clash between them was.

Maruya saw the admiration of the fight even though it was still the beginning. Vira who watched with her familiar in her arms did not comment on Maruya's words beside her, her eyes focused on seeing the fight in front of her. While Maria from earlier looked at the wolf animal in Vira's arms curiously. Out of curiosity, Maria asked Vira.

“E-em... Vira, that wolf animal, is your familiar?” Ask Maria.

Vira was a little surprised, how could Maria possibly know that Neo was familiar. When viewed from his appearance, he looks like a pet in general. But Maria could immediately conclude that Neo was familiar.

‘He can know, how to explain it.’ Inner Vira. “Maria, how did you know Neo was familiar?” Ask Vira in a small tone so as not to be heard by others.

Maria answered the question while looking closely at Neo. “Because I can feel magic energy even if it's just a little bit of him. Maybe from the outside he looks like an ordinary animal, but I can feel great strength from him even on the smallest press possible.”

“Did your sister realize it too?” ask Vira to make sure.

While the subject (Neo) that is made into talking materials is only silent. He didn't really care if this little girl knew, because he thought it wouldn't be a big deal.

“My brother is too stupid to realize it, he is just focusing on this competition. Take it easy, I won't tell anyone, I know you must have a reason for keeping this a secret from others.”

Vira felt bad, she was going to say this to Maria as her female friend. However, Yugi had banned her, but now there was no reason to hide her from Maria. He had been told that Maruya and Maria were both Dragon Slayer magic users, so their sensitivity towards Mana was very high. No wonder Mary could tell that Neo was familiar.

“I'm sorry Maria, actually I wanted to tell you this in advance. But..”

“No need to continue, I understand. Everyone has secrets, so I can tell them. Surely the one who told you to keep quiet was Yugi's brother. It is true that there is a little girl who can make a contract with a familiar must make a scene. You are very talented Vira.”.

Hearing the compliments from her friend made Vira smile happily. His embrace of Neo became tight, a feeling that was channeled it could Neo feel. I don't know what this one familiar thought, it seems like he enjoyed the treatment of his master.

Back in the arena, Yugi and Eduardo give each other magic-based punches and kicks. Not usually where Yugi always uses a sword to attack his opponent. Now they just fight each other boxing coated ice element magic.

Duars

A single blow of their fists made the ground beneath him freeze, and each clashing kick let out a chill. It's a fight that seems balanced, but of course it's just a warm-up for both of them.

“This fight flow is too slow, how about we speed up.” Tawar Eduardo's.

“Your words seem to want to end this fight immediately.” Reply Yugi.

“Not no.. on the contrary, I want to enjoy this fight longer.” Eduardo drew an ice sword formed from a magic circle created beside his face. His right hand was now grasping a sword formed from ice.

Not wanting to be left behind, Yugi also made an ice sword in his right hand. Now the two people were ready to clash swords and show which ice element was the most sturdy.

With a smile on their faces, the two darted back to clash.

Tank

A single clash of ice swords blew out the wind around them. It did not stop them from drawing each other's swords and slashing back at his opponent.

Tank

They kept repeating the movement and there was a rapid clash of swords between them.

Tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank

Everyone fell silent in astonishment at the balanced sword techniques of the two adventurers. A loud-sounding clash, accurate movement and precise timing when slashing. It was so charming, they were like they were dancing with their swords.

Tank

The final slash made them keep their distance and shot at each other at their respective speeds. Run here and there and against each other to find a gap, round the opponent's body and meet in one point.

Tank

Again their swords clashed, but now it was not as aggressive as before. They kept their distance again, then darted and slashed at each other again.

Tank

“It's getting hot.” Eduardo smiled happily.

Yugi replied with a confident face. “Really, but I feel cold here.”

Both men kept a few meters away from their opponents. Eduardo stretched out his left hand and made a magic circle towards Yugi.

“Let me freeze all of you. Freezing..”.

Yugi does not stay still, his left hand clings to the ground while mentioning his nurse. “Ice Barrier.” An ice wall formed in front of Yugi to repel the ice wave attacks from Eduardo.

“It's just a diversion.” Eduardo was behind Yugi.

Of course Yugi was surprised, he was unaware of Eduardo's speed which was already behind him. With his sword already covered by the thick ice-scatter, Eduardo slashed his sword at Yugi's body until he bounced off his own ice shield and hit the ground and dragged far enough away.

“Ahk..” Yugi felt his body hit hard, even he did not have time to shout when attacked quickly.

Vira who saw her teacher hit by such a powerful attack began to feel worried, her embrace of Neo strengthened, the feeling of worry from Vira could Neo feel. Unwilling to see his master sad, Neo tries to comfort him.

‘Don't worry, he's fine.’

Hearing a telepathic voice from her family made Vira look towards Neo in her arms. Somehow his fear began to disappear, he smiled again and looked back into the arena. Now he believes that Yugi will win.

‘The ability of both of us is not much different, but his sword techniques are more powerful than mine. All I can count on is an area-scale magic attack only.’ Inner Yugi. Thinking about his opponent's abilities that could not be underestimated, it seemed like he was going to use that technique.

Not giving a pause for Yugi to catch his breath. Eduardo immediately spread his left hand forward and recreated the ice magic circle with the sword in his right hand raised upwards. “Freedom of ice storm... Ice Storm Incision.” Simultaneously, his sword was slashed vertically with both of his hands in front of the magic circle he had created.

A second created an ice storm incision that damaged the surrounding area and lunged towards Yugi. Seeing the attack of an area that was impossible to avoid right now, it left Yugi with no other choice but to use it. While taking the middle horses, Yugi took a long air and inhaled strongly as it was sucking the attack into his mouth.

The powerful ice storm was getting closer to Yugi, but when it was in front of him, it began to disappear into his mouth and swallowed it as usual as if he was eating.

“Hap..” Yugi swallowed it casually as if he was eating a snack while imagining the taste. “It feels pretty strong too.” Mumbled.

Everyone was speechless at the familiar occurrence, they had seen it but in a different element. Unable to contain his surprise, the referee said in an excited tone.

“Unbelievable, there is another ancient magic user Dragon Slayer. Oh no, Yugi the Ice Dragon Slayer.”.

Hearing the commentator who shouted about the [Dragon Slayer] everyone fell silent. Now in the royal competition there are two ancient magic witches who are taught directly by the dragon. It was rare for them to see there were two Dragon Slayers in one place. Moreover, both have opposing elements. Before long the audience cheered in excitement, they still could not believe that there was another Dragon Slayer, this would be a very thrilling competition.

“What Dragon Slayer magic is indeed that great.” Yugi Mumbles.

“I've been waiting for this since you saw your fight with the witch general back then. I crave today, where I can face a dragon magic user.” Eduardo spoke in a tone full of pleasure and passion that is not inferior to Maruya. Somehow the atmosphere that was originally calm now began to change around him. Where in his body churned following his master's emotions, now the final round of battle was about to begin. And maybe, this fight will be crazy.

Yugi can also feel it, a very strong killing desire from Eduardo. The fight will be more heated, the seriousness of the two is visible from the cold light blue aura of their bodies.

Maruya was surprised to see this reality, it was unexpected that Yugi was a Dragon Slayer magic user. “So all this time, my dragon instinct reacted to him because we were fellow Dragon Slayer.” True, Maruya always felt so attached to Yugi, it turns out that his feelings are the instincts of fellow Dragon Slayer.

“Ice Dragon Punch.”

A powerful ice-based punch Yugi lays toward Eduardo. But the target was able to dodge the attack so that the ice-based attack only hit the ground.

Duuuaarrrrr

The explosion caused was very large because Yugi used quite a lot of power after sucking Eduardo's previous attack, Eduardo's attack became a new source of energy for Yugi so that his strength was now very abundant.

“Ice Dragon Kick.”

The ice dragon's kick was directly aimed at Eduardo after his punch missed. Eduardo who did not have time to avoid the fast attack was only able to accept it with a landslide on his stomach.

“Grak..”.

Eduardo coughed quite badly when he was hit by an ice-covered foot strike so strong. His body bounced to the ground and hit it several times then turned and stopped during the third round. He stood back up looking at Yugi who was standing quite far away from him.

“This is not finished.” Putting his hands together in front of his chest as if to pray, Eduardo gathered the source of his magic energy into the hand and opened it slightly so that a small magic circle was formed from it. “Crushing Ice Shot.”

The big laser-based ice cannon shot shot straight at the silent Yugi without doing anything. To him, an enemy that attacked with ice elements only took his life in vain.

“Huuuuuffff..” Yugi sucked all Eduardo's attacks so easily. Like giving a dragon food, Eduardo's attack would only be an energy ingredient for Yugi, he should know that, but maybe he was trying his luck, indeed, luck itself seemed to leave him.

“Must be, even such an attack can be sucked.” Already thought of various ways to be able to at least scratch Yugi's body, but it seems Eduardo has already accepted the reality. His strength when dealing with Yugi, was already useless.

“Thank you for the food. Now I'll pay for it at a price worth.” Yugi put both his hands in his mouth and made a circle from his hands. The magic circle is formed three in front of Yugi's face from the first small, the second medium and the last large. “Ice Dragon Roar.”

Such a powerful roar spouted an ice-based attack that passed through the three magic circles. Like a burst of dragons from his mouth, the attack shot area to where Eduardo was. Seeing the large-scale attacks, Eduardo made a magic defense in front of his body to withstand a large attack from Yugi.

Duuuuuuaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrr

The explosion was so big that it sounded from outside the battle arena, the waves from the attack could be felt by the spectators, everyone was shocked by the explosive power of a Dragon Slayer. As with Maruya, the attack itself was a mainstay of the dragon race that was directly learned from the dragon itself.

Maruya who saw an attack that was almost similar to hers despite being different elements, felt goosebumps, this feeling of tension, it was not a feeling of fear. But a feeling of wanting to fight with the same magic user. “I'm getting excited.”

After the big explosion, smoke continued to billow from the blast site so that the victims affected by the attack were still not known whether they were alive or dead. The victim should still be alive because Yugi can still smell the person's whereabouts. The opponent he was facing must have been unlucky to be fighting him. Attacking an Ice Dragon Slayer with an ice element was a mistake. Not long after the wind blew out all the smoke, and the body of Eduardo lay on the ground. It seems like this first fight is over.

“The first fight winner, Yugi from the kingdom of Aries.”

Hearing the announcement of the victory made all the spectators cheer for his victory. But not a few of them who still encourage Eduardo because he has fought bravely, especially from among women, they are very stunned by his good looks and style when fighting. Yugi briefly approached Eduardo who was still lying on the ground face down, it seemed like he was overusing such a powerful attack.

Two medical teams carried stretchers to lift Eduardo out of the arena. His body was lifted onto the stretcher so that he could see Yugi standing looking at him. Eduardo smiled with satisfaction and said to Yugi. “I'm happy to fight you, the hero. Next time I want to fight you again. May that day come..”

“Ya..” briefly reply Yugi.

After that Eduardo was taken away from the arena, as well as Yugi who walked towards the exit of the arena. The first fight as well as the opening is finished, the next name on the arena screen starts at random again. While with Yugi, he is still in the colosseum, he is thinking about how Maruya reacts after knowing about his magic. If you think far more there may be a horrendous reaction. It can be overcome later, now is the time to meet them, surely Vira has been waiting for him on the bench.

After arriving at the place of Vira and the others. Maruya immediately stared at Yugi intensely, even too close to look at each other. Yugi broke out in cold sweat a little because of that sharp look that seemed irritating.

“S-..”

“S...” Yugi repeats the letters that Maruya has not yet managed to continue.

“What a marvel.” (Moruya)

Eh. an unexpected reaction by Yugi. Maruya praised him with a sparkling face, what was with this one man. Seeing it makes a bit uncomfortable.

“I didn't expect you to be a Dragon Slayer magic user. This is the first time I've seen Dragon Slayer magic from someone of the same age. This must be a fateful meeting planned. I'm really very excited right now.”

‘Didn't you always get excited.’ Inner Yugi sweetdrop.

“I hope to fight you until the end of Yugi.”

Hearing Maruya's words as if challenging her made Yugi's smile expand, of course he would accept the challenge. So they had to wait until their turn arrived while in the same arena.

“I too..”

Back in the arena, now the monitor screen continues to scramble the names of participants with a long enough tempo until...

“This is the next participant... Rexas Vouleftis, prince of the kingdom of Vouleftis.”

Hearing his name being called, Rexas walked towards the arena from the south gate.

“And her opponent..”.

The screen returns at random where the names of the participants start popping up until it stops and raises the opponent of the prince Vouleftis.

“Prince Reiga Boltendra, from the kingdom of Boltendra.”

Someone walked into the arena from the north gate, staring at his opponent who was already inside the arena. Everyone was surprised, now they could see the two princes fighting in one arena, it could also be made as an event where the power of the kingdom would be represented by each prince of the kingdom. The pride of each kingdom must be at stake in this duel.

‘You must think this is not a game right, Rexas.’ Yugi's guess is right, seeing Rexas' serious face, it is certain that the prince will expend all his ability to fight Reiga. But it seems like it's also difficult for Rexas to get everything out, as he still wants to save his power for later.

Keep how about Reiga himself, from his face he looks like so excited against Rexas. Really this fight will be a battleground for the power of the two princes of the kingdom. And their pride was at stake in this fierce duel.

It may be difficult for them, but it is faith that will be established here. If you waver from your faith, it is clear that victory will be achieved by those who hold firm belief in themselves...
