The Dream Saga - Chapter 77

The match ended with Beelzebub as the winner. I couldn’t believe what happened before my eyes. Tom pinpointed real Asmodeus just by his attack type. He was indeed a combat specialist.

Everyone was cheering for him, he was finalist with me, he truly deserved it. I was glad he made it, but on the other hand, I was scared as well. Because now I had to fight him.

“What a wonderful match we had just now! I don’t remember watching any other match better than this one! But who knows what we will see in the finals!!!”

“So, we have received a brief message to start the finale as soon as possible as we are already late on time and now, I am going to announce the last and final match”

“I request all of you to stand up to pay respect to both of the participants and want to cheer both of them nevertheless of whoever wins the match.”

“LET’S BEGIN THE MATCH WITHOUT WASTING ANY MORE TIME!!!”

“From the left hallway, we have Tom Beelzebub, the devil king of flies. And from the right side here comes Kai Reid, the leviathan king, the serpent supreme.” He screamed his voice box out to announce our entry.

I was again on the battlefield to prove myself and so was my friend Beelzebub, but just, we were in the opposite corners. The cheers and shouts were on its best. In front of me stood Beelzebub and behind him was victory.

“LET’S GO!!!” the anchor yelled and with a thunderous sound of drums, trumpets and violins, the match began.

I was in alert stance to look out for any kind of traps or tricks. And so was he, but we both had no idea what thoughts their opponents had. And I figured it out. Just waiting for him to attack is just a waste of time and foolish, so I made the first move.

“Hey, Tom want to fight me?” I asked him sarcastically while rushing toward him, and in response to my question, he smiled and nodded to show he was ready.

“SMASH!”

I landed a fiery blow with devilish aura and power flowing in my feet; the blow was amazing, and I assumed it broke his shoulder. And when the dust cleared, what I saw was unordinary for me; he blocked my blow with just one hand it was impossible for any other devil I was shocked how he managed it because the strongest devil couldn’t stand the blow, without wasting a second, he grabbed my feet by the ankle and bashed me on the ground as a washerman beats clothes to get dirt out of it.

“Agh! Bitch, it hurts, but nice I deserved it!” I blabbered to myself while being grounded but I knew being grounded was not good for me; I flipped back and got back on my feet. I wiped my face and faced him with my arms and pulled my arms in front in a combat stance.

“Whoosh!” A swift kick came toward me, which I barely managed to dodge.

“Whoosh! whoosh! Whoosh!”

Beelzebub was attacking me with a storm of kicks and punches and all I did was dodge. It was hard to keep up with his speed but I somehow; I was keeping up with his speed; he was moving like a machine gun, but even a machine gun has a time when it gets heated too much and the moment came when I saw found an opening. It was for a split second, but I landed a powerbomb in his gut that threw he few meters ahead.

“As expected, I left an opening. But let’s see how you will parry this one, Kai!” Tom smiled and was in full spirit to fight. That made the match more interesting.

“Don’t hold yourself! Let’s fight to death brother!!!” I replied with the same energy to keep the match interesting from both sides.

He cracked his neck and raised his arms in the air; as he did this, his aura became visible and was radiating way too much of devilish aura, and not only those thousands of spiders crawled behind him and they were not small like the regulars. These were venomous five feet black widow type of spider.

“My children let’s have a dinner party.” He was in an eerie form, but it was fine until he knew what he was doing.

It looked scary, so I felt if I stick to the form; I was in then it would be hard for me to survive as well, so I yelled; my veins were flooded with enthusiasm, pride and a bit of ego. I transferred my aura and mana into my whole body and got ready to face him again; I screamed and ran toward him to beat him to death so I can win the match.

“YAAAAGHHHHH!!!” we both were rushing toward each other while screaming and it was competition to land the first blow.

“BOOOOM!!”

We both landed our punches in different places. I punched him in the jawbone and it was so powerful that blood came out of his eye socket as I crushed his left eye. It was a critical hit, but what he did to me was crueler. He pierced a hole in my stomach.

He kicked me in the chest and I landed meters away; I was bleeding severely and the only thing that came in my mind was camouflage and summon, but before I could use that, something unexpected happened, a group of spiders surrounded me and wrapped me in their web so I can’t escape and with a cherry on top, a giant scorpion was headed toward me.

He was scary and was rushing toward me with intent to permanent damage; he was meant to keep me busy while Tom recovered; in the next few seconds he was in front of me and whacked its gigantic tail on me but I flipped and protected myself, I tried to stand up but the bleeding was intense and I failed in getting back on my feet which meant it was my end. The scorpion was coming for the second round and I knew I lost the match but suddenly…

“THRASSHHH!!

A large serpent came out of the ground, ripping it apart, and bounced the scorpion high in the air. Before it could touch the ground, the serpent killed it in mid-air. It even spitted venom as a water pump that killed all the spiders around me and freed me as well the spider webs helped me as a bandage and I barely stood again, I looked at the serpent and it was the best boy ever, “Slyory”

He looked at me and hissed in Nagabani,

“Master, are you okay? Get on back, we’ve got no time, and it’s better to use the ace. I don’t know how long I can hold him on my own,”

“Yes, let’s win this tournament-” When I was about to climb onto him, I sensed something. ‘a heat signature from right’ I slightly turned to look, but it was too late…

“KABOOM!!!”

Beelzebub shot a nuclear power bomb at me which I failed to counter and, in result, I crashed on the arena’s wall along with Slyory. The shot was powerful, but somehow, I was just hurt a little and the reason for it was because Slyory took the shot in order to protect me. My eyes flooded with tears because I knew he was hurt. I looked at him. He was unconsciously breathing, but his body was ripped into two parts: he sacrificed himself to protect me.

I instantly climbed on him to save him by sending him back. Luckily, I transferred him…

He was gone, and it was now me and Beelzebub alone in the arena. The injury of Slyory fueled anger in me and I lost it! I was raged and was now looking at this competition not as a match but as a slaughterhouse and I was the butcher here,

“YOU HURT HIM! YOU’RE NOT MY FRIEND! YOU ARE THE ENEMY WHO I MUST KILL!!!” I yelled at him from the walls with anger in my eyes. My black aura turned darker.

“I AM SO SORRY ARE YOU GOING TO CRY? REAL MEN DON’T CRY THEY FIGHT LIKE MONSTERS BECAUSE THERE ARE NO MEN LEFT IN THE WORLD JUST SHITHEADS,” he replied in an aggressive and angry tone.

“SUMMON!!!”

“CAMOUFLAGE”

I used two spells at once and my invincible serpent armor covered me while being camouflaged. I was ready to finish him off, but something flashed in my mind while getting ready

“Use your ace master that will be easy!”

I knew that ace would end the match. But I didn’t have full control over it. The wager was all mine to play, but it was a good thing to hope on than fighting endlessly while losing body parts.

And finally, I decided to play the wager; I raised my arm in the air and chanted the spell loudly…

“SUMMON!”
