Taming My Vampire Servant - Chapter 175

“You birdbrain! She will go after you!” he exclaimed.

“Drop me on that pillar! The one without a fire!”

“But-”

“Just do as I say!”

Giving up on Ivory’s persistent request, “Fine, you are the Master!”

Upon reaching the fire-less pillar, Sigmund put her down.

Ivory immediately used the black crystal magic rod to make the fire beside them stronger!

As they were trapped in the flames, the steel-armored pair stopped moving. Sigmund used this opportunity to hop onto the pillars until he reached the opposite pillar which also had no fire. If it wasn’t the Servant Competition, he’d use magic to go to the opposite side, however, he and Ivory were doing their best to save mana.

Although Ivory and Sigmund achieved their goal of being separated and were now opposite of each other, there was another problem. When Ivory looked closely at the opponents, she saw Arcea and her Golem Servant, unscathed, stepping out of the flame!

“Surprised?” Arcea chuckled, slowly approaching Ivory as Minxy hopped onto the pillar where she stood. “Caspian helped me create this armor.”

“Oh? That’s sweet of him. He must be very fond of you,” Ivory commented with a grin. She stepped at the very corner of the pillar.

“Ivory, it’s not like that, he’s just helping me!” Arcea turned beet red.

Although it seemed like she was teasing her close friend, she was already analyzing the situation. She knew Caspian had a very dominant Water-type element in his mana in the form of ice. If he helped Arcea with her armor, then it must be Water-type enchanted!

Seeing her distracted, Ivory lunged towards her, slightly using Air magic in wind form to raise herself up. She gripped her two magic rods and swung them alternately to try to make her off balance.

Arcea assessed her current situation. Her friend already used magic, which is her greatest strength. How could she turn the tables around?

After contemplating on what she should do, the swordswoman got off Minxy. She ordered her Servant to watch Sigmund very carefully while she faced Ivory.

With her orders, Minxy wagged its tail to shove off any bits of fire that clung onto it. Afterwards, it flew in the middle of the arena, floating using his special green fluffy tail, while facing Sigmund. Their plan was, if he moved or did anything, the fox Golem Servant would immediately charge at him.

But Sigmund never moved from his position. He was just watching Ivory and Arcea from afar.

Because Arcea decided to fight Ivory head-on, Ivory attached her two rods together to its original staff form to make it longer and easier to swing.

“Aren’t you afraid that I’d hit you?” Arcea told her close friend, who stood at the far end of the pillar.

But Ivory shook her head, “You’re one of my closest friends, and my shopping buddy. Why will I be afraid of you?”

She chuckled, “Alright, Ivory. I promise to hit only your body and not your face.”

Arcea and Ivory positioned themselves into their fighting stance.

The swordswoman was the first one to charge, gripping her level 3 sword, and swung it.

Ivory parried it, spinning her staff sideways, but Arcea’s force was strong enough to make her fall backwards and off the pillar!

The silver-haired Master used Air magic to make herself afloat. Although she knew she shouldn’t use too much mana, she had no choice at the moment; she wouldn’t want to fall down into the abyss.

As soon as she managed to get back up the fire-less pillar, Arcea leapt towards her, but Ivory quickly detached her magic rods, forming a cross to block her sword.

“Why aren’t you using magic to attack me? Isn’t it your specialty?” she asked Ivory, grinning at her as she was pushing her with great force.

“It’s a surprise!”

“My pretty friend, you’re making me wait too long! Let’s just finish this!” Arcea shoved her once again, then swung the sword towards Ivory.

But she kept on blocking her. Arcea’s attacks and Ivory in defense lasted for a long while, until Ivory’s ears got itchy, distracting her!

The swordsman used this opportunity to push her to one of the flaming pillars and a loud bang was heard when the fire in that pillar dissipated. The crowd also cheered for Arcea when they saw Ivory fall down.

Arcea raised her brows, “Did I push her too hard?” she whispered. She thought that the fires on the pillars would never go out. On the other hand, Sigmund did not look worried at all.

She stared at the silver-haired master lying down with her eyes closed. She also saw the white smoke rising up in the air from Ivory’s body. “Apologies, my dear friend…” she murmured, then called back Minxy. She rode it, and they approached Sigmund to mock him.

As she glared at Ivory’s Servant, she yelled, “Sigmund… You are next!”

“Am I?” he chuckled. At that point, the Vampire already guessed what was going on with the annoying swordswoman.

Sigmund was keenly observing Arcea’s moves when she fought with Ivory, and how many times they used magic. As his Master’s close friend, Sigmund was well aware that despite Arcea’s good close combat skills, she’s quite weak in using magic.

Having a Water-enchanted steel armor did give her an advantage, and he’s sure that it was Caspian who suggested it. Instead of casting a Water-type magic barrier to go against the fire in the pillars, Arcea effortlessly moved on the flames because of it.

Unfortunately, because of that enchanted armor, Ivory wasn’t the only one with the advantage in the Torched Pillars, but Arcea, too.

‘Her mana is Earth elemental dominant,’ The Vampire thought as he analyzed her mana type. He viewed her like a clay pot in a kiln.

He knew that they needed to break her defenses. But how?

Sigmund contemplated it for a short while, until he told Arcea to mock her, “You were the close combat specialization class awardee, right? Why are you too far?”

“Why should I tell you?” Arcea glared at him, “You heartless Servant! Aren’t you concerned about your Master?” she pointed at Ivory, who still laid on the pillar.

He chuckled, “Hah! I know what I’m doing. How about you? Do you know what you’re doing?”

“What do you mean?”

“It’s obvious that you’re waiting for the 30 minutes to pass. By chasing us away, you actually wanted us to fight back using magic. Looks like I underestimated you,” he said. He observed that Arcea never casted any ever since the battle started.

Judging from how she fought with Ivory a while ago, he knew that Arcea was avoiding to have a direct fight with them using her own magic. Sigmund couldn’t read into her if she’s doing it to save mana, or because she’s careful not to leave scars on her close friend.

But whatever the reason was, he couldn’t care less. It was a damn competition, and for him, it was only Ivory’s victory that mattered!

Arcea gulped as she saw him smirk with confidence. Although she knew that Sigmund had always been a wise Servant, she couldn’t think of the best plan on how to fight him head on.

Unfortunately, her level 3 fox sword’s full potential could not be used in that terrain. It was a weapon that materialized in an Earth-type dominant mana. Its ability was – the more that it would be surrounded with soil, the more powerful the damage of its attacks.

Sadly, Arcea could never use it in a Torched Pillars terrain.

“I am sure Ivory’s all exhausted. Even though she hasn’t used much mana, if she doesn’t stand up, you two will still lose,” the swordswoman told the Vampire, pretending not to have any drawbacks on the situation.

Sigmund glanced behind Arcea, and saw that Ivory had stood up from the opposite pillar. Seeing his Master raise her hand, it was a sign that they would start using one of their developed, Advanced fire technique spell.

When Arcea looked behind her, her mouth dropped wide open, “Ivory? How…”

She shrugged and gave a wide grin, “Well… I told you I’d use magic. I belong to the magic specialization class after all!”

The Vampire Servant yelled on the other side, “Let’s do it!”

“Got it!” Ivory then used her black crystal magic rod to give the other pillar a ball of fire.
