Taming My Vampire Servant - Chapter 185

Sigmund and Ivory stumbled backwards while they dodged the mana daggers, making them fall on the ground.

“Sigmund, do not let these daggers pierce you, or else-”

But she was pierced by daggers coming from underneath!

“Ivory!” Sigmund yelled as he widened his eyes in shock. He felt like a failure, a weak Servant, who failed in protecting his Master.

Josie and Jokerion jumped down the tree where they hid.

“Surprised?” Josie smirked, “Well, it was Jokerion’s idea. I didn’t know it would work…”

“Gaaaaaa!!!” Ivory screamed in pain. She could feel the daggers piercing her shoulders and thighs. Now, she knew how awful and how much pain her Servant had gone through a while ago.

“Five more minutes!” Educator Heidi announced.

Sigmund glared at the two, “Looks like I have to end this battle-”

But he paused talking when he saw his Master moving, even though she had those mana daggers on her!

Ivory stood up slowly, “Sigmund, we will end this battle… together,” her light blue irises glowed as she touched the daggers. She pulled them out of her one by one, and threw them onto the forest soil.

Josie and Jokerion raised their brows in surprise. How did she get out of the magic technique? She was supposed to be paralyzed, just like what happened with her Servant!

Even Sigmund was dumbfounded, and in the first five seconds, he only stared at her.

Ivory stretched out her arms, then approached her beloved Servant as if she wasn’t pierced with Jokerion’s weapons awhile ago. “Sigmund, let’s do the Advanced technique…” she explained her plan discreetly.

“Huh? In this terrain?” he thought for a little while, and looked around. He then replied, “Hmm… I think you’re right. Okay, then.”

Without any minute to spare, Sigmund formed a triangle using his fingers, while Ivory took her fallen staff and held onto it firmly. Both their irises glowed as they concentrated on it.

“Jokerion, now we angered the two,” Josie told him, “Shall we forfeit- Hey!”

But before she finished talking, Jokerion grabbed his Master by the waist and tried to escape from Ivory’s and Sigmund’s sight. Unfortunately for them, it was a dead end, because surrounding them were walls of spiky hardened soil!

Jokerion, still holding his Master, noticed the ground shaking. He immediately hopped up the tree. The forest soil was then filled with spikes, so he concluded that there was no other way but to float up!

“No, Jokerion! If you rise that high, your mana is going to be depleted! You can only float at a certain height, so please, let’s just forfeit.”

“Master, there’s only a minute left. They consumed a lot of mana, so they’ll lose. Please do not give up,” he uttered and immediately rose up.

Unfortunately, for them once again, they did not notice Air magic casted on the opening. As soon as Jokerion and Josie touched it, they couldn’t control their direction any longer!

They were caught in a tornado-like entity. The wind was too fast, and seconds later, they were directly thrown into the quagmire!

Exactly when it happened, the timer ran out! Educator Heidi announced, “The winner for this battle is… Miss Ivory Sprucemint!”

Although the audience did not see what happened because of the Earth wall, they saw how Josie and Jokerion were thrown into the quagmire, so they still cheered out loud. They chanted Ivory’s name repeatedly, rooting for her!

The stage went back to normal. As soon as it did, Ivory ran towards Educator Heidi’s Golem Servant to look for Josie and Jokerion, and it pointed at the side of the stage. The two of them laid down, staring blankly at the ceiling. They still couldn’t believe what happened.

“Are you alright?” Ivory knelt down beside Josie.

“Yes,” she gave a hearty laugh, “You got us there. You don’t really plan on piercing us with all the Earth spikes, do you?”

She shook her head.

“I knew it. It was a trap. You knew we’d escape that semi-closed space… You and your Servant really are something.”

Jokerion sat upright and knelt beside his Master, “I failed you, Master. Please punish me according to your wishes.”

“Geez, it’s alright. If we’ve switched places and I was the Servant, I’d do exactly as you did. You only want us to escape that cramped space full of spikes,” Josie replied. She reached out to Jokerion’s knees and patted it, “That’s enough. Just carry me to the treatment area. I want to sleep.”

Jokerion nodded, and he slowly carried his Master in his arms.

Josie turned her head towards Ivory, “Hey… I know this is an odd time and place to ask this, but… Can we still be friends?”

Ivory gave a kind smile, “Of course!”

“Then I’ll call you informally from now on, Ivory,” she gave a wide grin, “Congratulations! I’m going to root for you until the finals!”

After the two walked away, Ivory went to Sigmund, “She… said she still wanted me to be her friend.”

“That, I heard. You must be happy,” the Vampire smiled at her.

“Yes, of course,” Ivory giggled, “Let’s replenish your mana?”

“Whoa there, are you excited?” Sigmund smirked.

Ivory turned beet red, “It’s not like that! I am just concerned as your Master!”

The Vampire chuckled, and the two of them went back to Blue Gem’s resting area.

“Congratulations, Ivory!” Lucius said in an excited tone.

“Thank you, Lucius!” she couldn’t contain her happiness and hugged him tightly. As she did, she whispered, “I hope I can have a battle with you. I wish for your victory.”

“Hmm. I will do my best not to disappoint you, my sister,” Lucius pulled away, and he gave a bright smile.

Seconds later, Caspian approached them, “Congratulations.”

“Thank you,” she responded.

Moments later, Principal Arthurdane spoke, “Now, for the next battle, we have Mister Lucius Goldwine and Mister Caspian Reagan!” he then took a colored marble from the bowl and continued, “The battle will be held in… the Pond Bank!”

The crowd cheered loudly.

Lucius clenched his fists. He knew that the Pond Bank terrain would be advantageous for Caspian, and now he needed to fight him there. With a terrain that was full of water, how could he turn the tables around, if he had a volcano Golem Servant, and his mastered element was fire?

“Unfortunately, this is going to be my kind of battle,” Caspian said with confidence in his words, “Looks like Goddess Destinia heeded my prayers.”

The pink haired Master chuckled as he and his little Spirit Servant passed by in front of Lucius to go up stage. He could only stare straight at him, then sighed as he thought about the situation.

His sister was expecting him in the finals of the Blue Gem Section, all the more that he should not give up. He, too, wanted to have a battle with Ivory.

Lucius composed himself, and as he walked towards the stage, he remembered Ivory’s previous battles. She and Sigmund turned the tables around all the time with their teamwork and wits.

Once he stood on his designated position, he glanced at the smiling Caspian. He might have thought that he already won that battle, the blonde Master was determined to take him down.

Educator Alphonse came to the side of the stage with Sabretooth, his Snow Beast Servant that looked like a white furry, harmless cat in its inactive state. It then turned active, giving a loud roar as its curved fangs grew longer at the sides of its mouth. Its eyes glowed as it continued roaring, indicating that it was psyched up to cast magic alongside its Master.

Seeing that his Servant was ready, Educator Alphonse spoke, “I shall lead the creation of the Pond Bank terrain. The rules are all the same as the previous ones, but for this terrain, if any of the Master or Servant falls deep down the waters and could not return to the surface, that pair would lose. Contestants, are we all clear on this?”

“Yes, sir!”

Then, a large circle appeared in the space where they stood. It turned green, and a two-level pond made of sandstone and granite rose up. Enormous water lily pads were floating on the waters, while the pond bank was surrounded with different plants, such as cattails, blue moneywort, parrot’s feather, and aquatic mint.

Afterwards, the loud horn played. Ivory intently watched Lucius from afar, and Sigmund looked at her.

“You okay?” he asked.

“I wonder what he’d do,” she glanced at him, remembering what happened during her battle against Caspian. “He’s a master of ice with a strong Water-type mana. I hope Lucius will be alright in that terrain.”

She balled her fists, mentally praying for the Goddess for Lucius’ safety.
