Chapter 112 The hound Vs the Southern Paladin.
"It's time." Beord told her. She activated the helmet and appeared in the virtual world directly in the inside of the ring. The information had been right when it said that every fight had those that were attracted to it. A division one fight like this was full of spectators. This arena of fifty thousand viewers was almost filled to the brim. She could see thousands of spectators that were cheering as they watched reruns of the best fights on the large screens.?Despite the situation, her mind calculated how much money the host was making from the fight. Fifty thousand viewers paying five coins each was two hundred fifty thousand star coins on a fight which would take no more than one hour!! Good Lord!! Even if if these five star coins gave one twenty four hour access only that was over one million star coins per month for viewers in the virtual world. Even the ones who watched on television had to pay a fee so it was more than one million.
"Stop thinking about money." She heard Severus's voice.
"You are here!!" she said in shock.
"Of course I am, I go wherever you go. Anyway I acquired a helmet from the excess ones and paid with your account so I am also in the audience." She raised her head to look around, this ring was on a platform so high up that those who sat at the bottom were probably disadvantaged.
"Stop looking for me, look at your opponent with the eyes of a grim reaper. You will be able to see everything clearly."
"Isn't that cheating?" she asked him.
"You are a grim reaper, it's only natural that you use your abilities. Feel sorry for your opponents later but keep in mind that this is a training session for you. Be merciless and brutal, they won't die after all." Severus had activated trainer mode.
"Alright." she agreed.
The ring around her eyes turned slightly gold, in the audience her face was brought closer and Esong sat up straighter.
"Why are her eyes colored red?" Markay asked.
"It's creepy, like those horror movies about mutated beats and people." Ian made a shivering movement with his hands.
"Maybe it's part of her armor." Cedric said.
"A black robe with an image of a dog with strong sharp teeth and red eyes together with the use of the name hound which she said was another name for her dog. It's probably something she has done deliberately." Folsom agreed with Cedric.
But Esong highly disagreed in his mind, her eyes were not red, they were gold. Why couldn't the others see it?
A host that was fully dressed in red red armor appeared on the stage as a hologram and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the first fight of the day, as always the challenger enters the ring first and the challenged comes last. Are you ready to meet the challenged?"
The audience cheered loudly.
They wanted to see who this newcomer was challenging because one hundred thirty fighters were on the champions roll and she would either be sending one off or failing in her pursuit.
"Welcome to the stage, the Southern paladin, standing at number eighty on the division one virtual champions roll, he is the man in white, the healer of insanity, the Paladin."?the host said these words dramatically, drawing energetic cheering from the audience.?The new challenger was insane, she was aiming high.
"Number eighty!" Adler gasped, "I thought she was starting with the very last one?"
"I can't watch this." Mega covered her eyes.
"Healer of insanity, what kind of unnecessary tag line is that?" Esong mumbled.
"What is your wife's tag line?" Folsom asked him.
"I don't know yet."
The paladin appeared on stage, dressed in all white armor including the hair on his head, swinging a white staff, powered by energy stones from it's glow and it reminded her of a weapon from a game she used to play.
"The challenger, newly arrived and filled with guts, with no position on the virtual roll, She is the woman in black, she will drag you to hell, the hound." The blue star citizens cheered loudly.
Folsom looked at Esong, waiting for his comments on Scarlet's tag line but Esong said nothing, he just clapped his hands like every other citizen of the Blue star.
"Nothing, really?" Folsom commented.
"I am a supportive husband."?Esong replied.
It was quite a contrast on stage between Scarlet that was in all black and the paladin who was in all white. Someone took a picture and shared it on their account on the star net. 'This division one mecha fight is aesthetically pleasing.'
"Remember the rules at all times, first one to knock out the other unconsciously or push them into the oblivion portal wins."?the host reminded them.
A referee dropped a red flag, it disappeared in flames and the fight officially started.
Scarlet's whips came out and her robe completely covered her, leaving only her eyes exposed.?Immediately, she lashed one out in the direction of the paladin but he dodged and jumped into the air like a swift monkey. She pulled it back and attacked him head on, using mental strength, sending out a power punch. Again, the paladin jumped up high, rolling and avoiding the punch.?Every move she made the paladin avoided by jumping into the air in different positions which entertained the audience greatly. He was perfectly fine not engaging in a physical fight or coming close to her.
"You are a jumper," Scarlet mumbled. "Two can play that game."?She jumped up, sending out three power kicks and one of them landed on the paladin. As he was falling, he sent a blast of wind towards her with his staff, it was so strong that she would have been sent flying into the oblivion portal but she spun around in the opposite direction, nullifying the energy of the wind blast.
"It's a failure ladies and gentlemen, for the first time the Southern paladin's wind blast has failed to work."
"Ten more seconds." Severus told Scarlet. She threw out her whip again, and as the paladin prepared to jumped, the whip grew in length, turning into a rope and wrapping itself around on of his legs. She pulled him down, spinning around to avoid his constant wind blasts and she banged his body down over and over.
As the spinning became faster, she could barely be seen, even the closest viewers felt the cold wind of her spins and when she stopped, the Sothern paladin was unconscious on the ground.
