MONOCHROME: Choice Of Destiny

Chapter 20 Final

I was so grateful that the incident did not damage our relationship and ended up being Lucy's subordinate.

Right now we're all having tea together at Lucy's residence but unlike before where I was pouring tea now the task has been taken over by Ana.

I glanced at Lucy because her face looked so bright.

"Is there something going on? you look so happy now."

Lucy who had been drinking tea with a big smile turned towards me.

"Nothing, it's just that while I was sleeping I met your mother."

When Lucy mentioned my mother, all my friends immediately turned around because they were interested.

"Is that? I'm sure he's exaggerating about me so whatever he says don't take me seriously."

"As you said he's very A... uniquely I can say."

"There is no need to lie, I alone who is his son cannot understand it."

"Haha you're right. Rather than discussing that, let's talk about the next tournament."

"In the next round Ryu will fight the students of class S right? but since he's just a sneak so more we just assume he's lost and let's talk about Ryu and Zep's fight."

The one who spoke was Ana with a soft tone just that her words were still arrogant.

"Because all the damage will be covered by the Lucifer family so I want to make some rules."

"First, it is forbidden to use mass destruction magic as before."

"Second, it is forbidden to kill."

"Three, restraint is forbidden."

We all agree with the first and second rules but the third one is quite confusing.

"Why are we forbidden to restrain ourselves?"

I asked.

"The two of you are now my right and left hands so I want to see who is stronger so depending on the result I need to change your positions."

"I understand."

"I did not intend to hold back when fighting Ryu."

"I'm looking forward to it."

On the day of battle.

I fought the S grade students but because I didn't want to waste too much energy so I ended it with a single attack.

And it was time for Zep and I to step into the arena.

"This is the day we've been waiting for!! the final battle between Zephyr and Ryu!! It was said that the two of them were rivals so this would be the determination of who was the strongest among them!"

The host kept raving until Zep and I got into the arena.

After blabbing for a few minutes.

"Fight begins!!"

Different from usual this time Zep used unification without shouting and immediately pulled out his two lances.

I also directly used the unification of darkness and drew my sword, this time I drew two swords.

The sword of light in the left hand and the sword of darkness in the right.

Honestly, I really admire characters who use two laser swords in a certain game, only in this world it is very difficult to do so so I give up.

But after seeing Zep use two spears, I thought back to that and trained hard to make it happen.

To be more cool I tried to use two swords with different affinities but I didn't expect it to work.

"I didn't think you were still hiding something from me."

Zep complained but I know he's really excited right now.

"It's still a development stage but it's worth a try."

After a few seconds we both disappeared.

We met, Zep attacked with a stab to my head but I tilted my head slightly to dodge.

I gave it back but he held it back with his spear.

we continued to do mechanical fighting in the middle of the arena even we did not try to move places.

The audience on the other hand could only gawk at being unable to keep up with our movements.

It continued but Zep suddenly disappeared, I jumped a little backwards.

"Boomm!"

a crater appeared in front of me, Zep jumped on me and stabbed his spear but I avoided the attack.

Not waiting for long I immediately slid forward and slashed at Zep with both of my swords but he very well resisted my attack with his spear and ended up being pushed a few meters back.

We both kept quiet.

We both disappeared back and started exchanging attacks. I resisted Zep's attack and pushed his spear up which made him lose his balance for a moment.

I directly swung my sword vertically towards his head but he quickly crossed his spear to resist my attack.

"Boom!"

A crater appeared beneath his feet as he could not withstand the impact of my attack.

Now that the spear was locked onto my sword, I attacked him with my other sword intending to stab him in the stomach.

Zep was thrown backwards making him roll several times before standing back up.

In his stomach was a wound but it was not deep because I attacked him with a sword of light.

"One point, man."

I said that in a mocking tone.

I jumped a little backwards like before.

Damnit damnit! it's different

Because my instincts immediately jumped into the air and after that the entire arena was filled with spears emerging from the ground.

I realized my mistake because now Zep appeared in front of me and immediately launched an attack like he did to Ana.

Because he was late in responding to some of his attacks on me.

I pushed Zep away and smashed the spear under me to descend.

When we landed, the entire spear had already disappeared.

"It did not break through your armor but since I landed 3 strikes could it be considered as 1 point? comrade."

"It's a dead end, if only there was no prohibition to use mass destruction magic."

"I want to say that too."

We stopped talking.

I kept my light sword and now only use one sword but I changed its shape to a 2-handed sword.

On the other hand, Zep threw both of his spears up.

"Unite."

A purple light burst out from the spear and as it descended it had already become one, the shape of the spear changed again and was larger as well, and most importantly the power it contained.

"How about the second half we start?"

I'm offering.

We both attacked simultaneously, because we used bigger weapons so our attacks were a bit slower but strength was a different thing.

The moment the two weapons collided created an extremely powerful shockwave that destroyed the arena.

Even now the barrier started to shake.

We fought a few blows and ended up deadlocked again.

we both jumped back.

I raised my sword up and concentrated all my dark energy into the sword, instantly exploding it into a sword 5 meters high and 1 meter wide.

On the other hand Zep started holding his spear in a piercing position instead of throwing it like before.

All of Zep's magic energy also exploded and entered into his spear, the shape of the spear was still the same but the magic power inside was different dimensions.

.

.

.

In the audience seats

"Hey!! it's not like we've agreed not to use a mass destruction attack!?"

Asta started to panic.

"Calm down, it's not an attack of mass destruction but a single, very powerful attack."

"But doesn't that mean they're both likely to die?"

"Ryu couldn't have done that, if she was serious she could have defeated Zep from earlier but she adjusted her own strength."

"I see..."

.

.

.

I am using my vampire form now although it is only a little because it is impossible to withstand Zep's attack with my human body.

We both advanced and our weapons collided.

"Boom!!"

An extremely powerful shockwave appeared and shattered the arena floor and continued to spread until it crashed into the barrier.

"The crush! crushh!!"

The sound of a broken barrier continued to sound until it reached the audience seats but it stopped before reaching the audience as now Ana created a thin tornado as a barrier.

It was just that because of the magic wave people could not see what was happening and they all could only gulp.

"Boom!"

The sound of explosions was heard but it was not coming from inside the arena but rather from the audience seats.

There Zep was lying down because he crashed.

His armor was not scratched just that the spear in his hand was smashed into pieces.

As for me I was still standing in the middle of the arena even though my breathing was a little heavy.

The presenter who had escaped just now immediately returned to the arena.

"The winner is Ryu from class C!!"

The cheers from the entire audience instantly exploded.

Zep jumped back into the arena and greeted me followed by Ana and Asta.

"This is your victory."

"Thank you and I'm sorry I broke your spear."

"Don't think about it, I can make it whenever I want anyway I need a stronger weapon in the future."

With that, Zep and I will definitely go on to the white star tournament next year.

There was actually still one more fight to determine the third participant but since it was Ana so she won easily.

The three of us will be taking part in a white star tournament next year.
