Will of chaos

Chapter 1287 Cap 1285: War Tournament Part 6

Pov Makina (Evil Saint):

In a dark hall, I am in the middle of a spiritual pool, all this spiritual liquid was taken from the Spirits we captured, I get on my knees completely below the surface of the pool, but in my eyes, it was like entering a different world.

A space full of exuberant colors, clouds of all colors, flows of Elemental Energy, and Infant Spirits floating aimlessly, in this place a pair of green eyes open in front of me, honoring me with their presence.

"My Goddess, I am here to seek your Oracle." (I)

"My Saint, I can see the doubt in your heart, there is no secret between us, tell me what afflicts your will." (Goddess Rhavaal)

I knew she would see through me, but I can't help but worry, ever since I heard about her plans this doubt has only grown more and more because of the fear I feel thinking about what might happen if we don't make it.

"My Goddess, I trust in your divine wisdom, but I cannot help but think of the Gods associated with war..." (I)

"Your sincere concern for me is commendable and acknowledged, but these Gods will not interfere with our plans, I have been acting within the scope of the rules of this universe all these years for this reason." (Goddess Rhavaal)

"Only the God of Spirits of this universe and those he sent after me are our real enemies." (Goddess Rhavaal)

"They're acting on incorrect premises and assumptions that we've been steering them toward all this time, but they're not that far from the truth, so we only have this chance to carry out this plan." (Goddess Rhavaal)

"My Goddess, the Vampire boy is strange and is in contact with Priests of the God of War, even we don't know his identity." (I)

"Leave him as he is, as long as they think they are ahead we can still observe his actions in silence, don't worry, I guarantee that by the end of this tournament, he and everyone around him will be dead." (Goddess Rhavaal)

"May your will prevail supreme, my Goddess." (I)

Pov Zenos:

When I opened my eyes I was still inside the Colosseum room, outside it was night, and only Hades was waiting for me sitting not far away.

"How were the matches?" (I)

"Xagar won all 3 of his fights today, completing his goal of 6 consecutive victories, his passage to the next phase of the Tournament is guaranteed according to the rules." (Hades)

"Fiona lost one of her fights, totaling 5 victories and only 1 defeat, but due to the short duration of her battles won, her chances of passing are also good." (Hades)

"When will the results come out?" (I)

"In a few days, marking the start of the next phase, the results will be posted at the main gate." (Hades)

"I see, gather everyone together we need to make final preparations." (I)

"How to order, Master Zenos." (Hades)

Hades disappears leaving the room seemingly alone with just me inside, that is until Nix steps out of my shadow.

"What did the God who talked to you want?" (Nix)

"Nothing important, just saying some things I already suspected." (I)

"But nothing regarding what we're going through now." (I)

"You're horrible at hiding things, I'm sure he said..." (Nix)

"Don't say anything else, this should not be talked about under any circumstances." (I)

"Besides, I told you I'll be fine, I won't make the same mistakes I made in the past again." (I)

I look at my hand as I remember the preparations I also need to make.

"Let's go, we have other things to do before the tournament comes back." (I)

There was no way I was going to miss this opportunity, so I needed to be as ready as possible to reduce the risks that were already very high.

Pov Xagar:

I was looking at the sheet with the names of those who made it to the next stage of this tournament, my name and Fiona's were on the list just as we imagined.

"What do you think the rules will be like this time?" (Fiona)

"I don't know yet, but there are 120 names on that list, there are too many people to continue as it is happening now." (I)

With this doubt, we both entered the coliseum together with other competitors talking to each other about the upcoming fights.

As soon as we entered we were greeted by a show where magical songs were sung creating dancing images in the sky, it was something very beautiful.

When it ended, the stands were already full, so the two presenters appeared once again, this time they didn't delay much before starting to explain the rules which caught everyone off guard.

No one said anything as the Dragon succinctly repeated what he just said.

"In a real battle you don't always have just 1 enemy to worry about, so in each arena, the 6 participants will have to fight each other, the only additional rule to those already mentioned before is the prohibition of cooperation between participants, so fight for right to be among the top 20 in this Tournament." (Raask)

"Participants for each arena will be chosen at random once again, just like in the previous phase, but this time they will be sent to random places far from each other, the time limit will be 12 hours." (Larany)

I was starting to understand how the organizers mind works, the qualifiers were to clear out useless trash, and the previous basis was to select only those who had combat experience or true combat talent, now they want to eliminate everyone who is in the media down leaving only the strongest and smartest for the most important stage of the tournament.

Every part of this competition was to separate the different grades of talents, I can guess that is the main reason for this entire tournament, to find those who can be recruited by them.

I thought this whole idea was incredible, but I don't mind doing it like this, there are safer and more accurate ways to measure someone's strength and potential.

It was at that moment when I was thinking about these things that the 2 representatives announced the beginning of another new day, I soon felt my body being teleported once again after days.

When I opened my eyes I was in the middle of a giant forest, I felt like a small insect in this damn place, this place was very big, I recognized him from before when I was watching other fights.

"I can't waste time." (I)

This time I didn't have the confidence to win head on without revealing all my trump cards, if I do that I might have a chance.

I use my blood to use a blood magic, something I learned from Lady Vanessa suitable for a Demon like me, using my blood as a medium for my Demonic Power, with that ready, I take out a dagger and play half drawing game ritual.

Soon the magic circle absorbed my Demonic power before crawling towards the dagger, then came I felt my Aura and power pulse between the two of us, this dagger felt more like a part of me before.

I hide my Aura completely as well as all my power, but it's still looking for a target, but it didn't take long, I saw 2 idiots fighting each other just a few minutes after we arrived here.

I just check the surroundings making sure there was no one else around, then I wait for the two for a few more seconds since I can't wait too long for fear of more people coming here.

As soon as I saw the two being hit by each other's blow, I went towards one of them at high speed, placing my swords on his neck while penetrating the other's heart right in the heart.

"< Demon Blood Magic: Demonic Possession >" (I)

I feel the joy and power taking over my body strange in a way, but I do my best to the last of the combatants who had my sword at his neck in a threatening way.

"I QUIT!"

I didn't need to say anything, just my eyes revealing my rising killing intent, he knew what he should do and quickly disappeared.

I soon return all my attention to my target, I feel the power of the dagger sucking me into his body through the dagger, I could feel my body turning into a liquid and I used my soul in six.

I felt like I was losing my senses one at a time, and when one of them came back it was my vision, that's when I realized that my eyes were different, I wasn't seeing as well as I usually do, but I ignored that focusing on the changes of having this body.

As soon as I was inside this new body, I realized that there was nothing left of me, not even my spear was left, this magic really is incredible.

I was now removing the dagger from my chest or should I say from the chest of this body, I didn't feel any pain, but I could feel the Soul that was in this body going to rest in the afterlife.

"(With this body I have an extra asset that others don't have.)" (I)

With that I began to look for others in the forest while assimilating the vitality and other energies, I was also getting used to the body unknown to me, in a few minutes I was able to live in an almost normal way and I began my search in the forest.

That's when I noticed a strong Aura looking like a flare in a certain direction, clearly some idiot was trying to attract someone but I'm staying away.
