Taming My Vampire Servant - Chapter 195
The ground shook, and moments later, the platform where Ivory, Sigmund, and her opponents were standing ascended. While it happened, Ivory and Varamond never took their eyes away from each other since they didn’t want to be taken advantage of the other.
Huge floating rocky structures with dried moss on their surface appeared above them as well as surrounded the stage. The orangish light of the sunset coming from the west was slightly blocked by the rocks, creating shadows around the terrain.
When everything was set, the loud horns played.
Ivory observed Varamond, who stood on the other floating rock as he patted the black chick on his shoulder. The small animal then hopped onto his palm, and Ivory’s mouth gaped wide open when Varamond threw the chick on the cliff!
The silver-haired Master already thought he was a heartless Master towards his Servant, when suddenly, a loud wail echoed.
Behind Varamond came flying a huge creature with two heads, as well as vast wings and a long tail. The left half of its body was metallic blue in color, while the other half was red in color. The left head had glowing blue eyes, and the right head had glowing fiery orange eyes.
It flew around the rock structure where Ivory and Sigmund stood. Distracted, Ivory turned her head to the flying phoenix. As soon as she did, Varamond hopped onto their side using Air magic!
Sigmund, who first noticed his movement, grabbed Ivory by the waist, then moved backwards. He took a look at how far the next floating rock was, then hopped to it.
Varamond chuckled, seeing that his opponents were afraid of him. But he knew it was too early to be confident. He still could not determine Ivory’s and Sigmund’s temperance.
All he knew was that Ivory is not an ordinary Master. Otherwise, she and her companions wouldn’t casually visit his brother. Varamond also knew that Principal Zwain wouldn’t waste his time with someone unimportant. Although he and his brother were close, he was not one who would also be close with the people whom he frequently interacts with.
It was Ivory and Sigmund’s first time in a Windy Mountains terrain. They examined how far the rock structures were from each other. Because some were higher than the others, it required them to use more mana to lift themselves up. Aside from that, moderately strong wind was coming from somewhere in the terrain, making them adjust their direction prior to landing.
Because the Pixia the phoenix was big, it could not fit into the gap of the rocks. It kept on flying around Ivory and Sigmund, purposely to threaten them and watch their moves, while its Master came after them on his own. The Beast Servant would not attack them with magic spells without Varamond’s instruction.
Reaching the very end of the terrain, Ivory and Sigmund had nowhere to go. Varamond hopped onto their rock structure and slowly stepped towards them.
“I think I overestimated you two,” Varamond uttered. “Looks like you weren’t that strong. It’s only 10 minutes, yet you’re already driven into a corner.”
The two-headed phoenix flew behind him outside of the rock, awaiting its Master’s orders. On its left beak, a ball of water formed, while on its right, a ball of fire formed.
All those times, Sigmund never let go of his beloved Master’s waist. He wanted to protect her at all costs, and if Air magic wouldn’t work, he would use that technique that only Vampires could do, just to prevent them from falling and losing.
While Sigmund was embracing her from behind, she was gripping her level 2 magic staff in front, ready to block any attack. She made an Air magic barrier, collecting as much wind as she could around them.
Varamond materialized his level 3 weapon, which was an odd-looking spear with spiky circular blades at one end. He charged in front, swinging it, and broke Ivory’s wind barrier!
As soon as he did, he swiftly jumped back to his original position, and Pixia finally released the two elemental balls from its beaks, breaking the portion of the rock where Ivory and Sigmund stood!
BOOM! CRACK! A loud explosion was heard and the arena was filled with smoke for a moment.
When the smoke dissipated, Ivory and Sigmund were gone.
Varamond wanted to make sure that they really fell down, so he peeked at the edge, but there was no one!
He creased his brow. According to his calculations, they should at least be seen falling down, but that was not the case. He suspected that something was up.
Varamond ordered Pixia to look for them within the terrain. As soon as Pixia flew away, the rock structure where he stood shook violently!
It was then that he knew Ivory and Sigmund was plotting something against him!
When Varamond ran towards the edge to try to hop onto the next rock, he widened his eyes when he felt a gush of air from the flapping wings of the Servant flying in front of him.
Sigmund, whose underside of the wings had a bloody red color, while the outer part of the wings was dark gray in color, carried Ivory in his arms as he appeared in front of Varamond. He told him, “You’re looking for us, right?” he smirked, mocking the opponent Master.
“How did you…” Varamond was surprised, because prior to the Grand Finals, he collected as much information available about the other Masters and Servants. According to his observation and the information he acquired, Ivory’s Servant never showed this ability to have wings.
Frightened by this, Varamond quickly stepped back. Because the rock structure was previously broken, the space he could run to was narrower. Aside from that, it was the very end of the terrain stage.
He knew he had nowhere to go, unless he used intense Air magic to lift himself.
Pixia looked back, and upon realizing that his Master was in a predicament, he flew towards them.
Sigmund carefully dropped Ivory to that narrow space, “Can you fight him?”
Ivory nodded in response.
Sigmund turned around, ready to block the enraged phoenix.
The silver-haired Master then focused her eyes on Varamond, who glared at her.
Varamond was wrong when he thought that they were weak. Now that he saw their true potential, he accepted that Ivory and Sigmund did deserve the title of being Blue Gem section winners.
Ivory held her staff tightly. Her light blue irises glowed, and she charged onto the principal’s brother in full force.
Varamond, who has a heavier and larger weapon than her, effectively blocked her attack.
The bad thing was, when Ivory attempted to strike him at an angle, her weapon got stuck onto the spikes of her opponent’s weapon, and because it was still a level 2 weapon, she couldn’t make it disappear and materialize at will!
Varamond took advantage of this situation, and he incorporated his mana onto his level 3 weapon. The weapon’s vibration made Ivory step back.
Without any weapon, she felt her sweat trickle down her cheek as she observed her enemy’s movements.
Treating Ivory’s weapon as a hostage, Varamond stepped to the side, until she and Ivory switched places. Now, Ivory was the cornered one!
Meanwhile, Sigmund was exchanging elemental balls with Pixia in the air. Although the phoenix had two mana balls it kept on releasing at the same time, the Vampire was faster to move because he was lighter.
Pixia glanced at its Master, and upon seeing that he was already at an advantage, it concentrated its sight on Sigmund.
Sigmund noticed the change in the creature’s behavior, and when he glanced at Ivory, he saw her being cornered!
With haste, the Vampire flew towards her. He swooped and carried her into his arms, saving her just in time!
“Sigmund, my weapon is still…”
“Forget that goddamn useless weapon and just focus on not falling down.”
The suspense in the air got thicker. The audience watched as Ivory and Sigmund flew around, trying to escape their predicament.
Almost everyone in the crowd cheered for Ivory. But among the crowd, there was one person who didn’t want her to win.
“Your sister is smart, I know she can win this,” a young man said, who had green-colored, medium length hair which was tied to a low ponytail. “Am I right, Katie?”
Katie faked a smile at her beloved Helios, who smiled brightly beside her. If it weren’t for him nagging her to come, she wouldn’t have gone back to her homeland.
Using her binoculars to zoom in the view, she saw the bothered look on Ivory’s face. She smirked as she saw her at a disadvantage, and she wished for her ill fortune to last.
