Chapter 126: Minor Demigod
Chapter 126: Minor Demigod
Sol looked at Harry who was laying tiredly on the floor, "You could have won you know? If you had a bigger weapon than that hit would have incapacitated him," he tried to console Harry.
"No, I would lose anyway if I have a bigger weapon, the only reason I could move that fast was my weapon is light, a little bit heavier then my speed would drop considerably," Harry shooked his head.
"You did great anyway, even though you only caught him by surprise, It was commendable that you could push him that far," Jennie patted Harry on his shoulder.
"Looks like it's my turn now," she gets up from her seat as the MC announced the next round was between her and Boulder.
Jennie went to the arena with light armor and a mask rather than full body armor, she had conjured two longswords sheathed on her back, she looks very elegant with them.
On the other hand, Boulder looked like he was a stone golem rather than a man, he covered his body with rock armor from head to toe, he was even bigger than the devourer.
His weapon of choice was a giant hammer, he seemed to favor heavy weapon while Jennie favors speed.
Sol and Harry were sure that She would be able to win easily, Jennie was quick on her feet, to beat her you would need to be able to catch her, to fight her with such a slow weapon was a mistake.
Thinking that Jennie would finish her opponent soon, Sol starts to conjure his equipment, after watching the other two fight he knows that weapon choice plays a big role in his chance of winning.
Sol went with his usual armor and white cape, even though there was no snow in the underworld, He was just unable to conjure another colored cape.
As for the weapon, Sol had his knife with him, he conjured a long sword and a javelin just in case he needs a weapon with a longer reach.
Javelin was his long-range solution as he could not make a functioning gun with simple ice, if he could conjure things mid-battle then he could propel the bullet with his conjuring ability, the again if he could conjure things then he could just conjure projectiles to hit his enemy.
He conjured his equipment with a combination of sun ice and healing dome, although it would not be as durable as he could not supply them with power, their basic stats would be higher than normal sun ice equipment.
Sol could not conjure chemicals so he would need to use the chemical he brought with him from the mortal realm, but it would be a waste to use them in a duel, it could be used to save his life in a hard situation.
His stock of chemical was limited, there was no way to find those chemicals in the underworld, the reason people in the underworld did not create advanced technology was that there was no similar material that they could use to make things from.
Sol decides to not use any chemical in his fight, it might hint to people watching that he come from the other side, when that happens he would be hunted and his chance of survival would be nonexistent.
Sol also conjured the knife aura, he might not be able to conjure it once the fight started but they could conjure equipment beforehand so logically, Sol was allowed to conjure the knife aura beforehand.
He was planning to accumulate as much knife aura as possible before his fight started, he could not risk using it in the arena and be discovered cheating.
"I hope this will be enough," Sol thought to himself.
Jennie had used her swords to harras Boulder, She would circle him and cut at his armor every time he shows an opening.
Boulder did not let her do as she please as he swung his giant hammer at him but to her, it was as slow as a snail, Jennie dodge every attack from the giant man, she would hit him instead of him hitting her.
It made the minor demigod frustrated, he holds his hammer at the end of the shaft with both hand and swings it around, his body went with it and spin like a top.
That forced Jennie to move back to dodge his hammer, she got no opening to attack the man who spins like crazy.
She moves back and back until she got to the edge of the arena, she was cornered, if she moves back then she would be disqualified but in front of her is a giant top that could turn her onto a bloody pulp with a single touch.
Rather than being troubled, Jennie smirked at the man, "I can't believe there is such a stupid fighting technique," she muttered.
Jennie stabbed one of her swords to the ground and swiftly jump on top of it, with the sword as a stepping stone, She jumps to the air and spins a few time while moving to the center of the top.
Her head was pointing to the ground while her feet were pointing to the sky when she finally got beside the spinning man, her hand moves like the wind and her sword connect with Boulder's neck was supposed to be.
She looked like she stopped mid-air while blood spray everywhere from the top, once Jennie land a few meters away from the spinning top, it slows down and Boulder fall to his stomach unconscious.
The would on his neck was healing at a rapid pace but it did not change the fact that Jennie had beat him.
Jennie borrowed his spinning power and speed to cut through his rock-hard armor, if not without it then she would have a harder time finishing the fight.
The MC and the audience were speechless, they thought she would be done by boulder's spinning technique, they thought it would be normal and inevitable as a lesser demigod should not be able to beat a minor demigod.
Just like Harry's fight, they had seen that a Lesser demigod could fight well with a Minor demigod but in the end, the latter was superior to the former.
Now that Jennie suddenly shows such an impossible and beautiful feat, they could not believe their eyes.
Her hair slowly falls back into place from all the maneuver, coupled with her mysteriousness that comes from her mask, she looked stunning.
"The... The winner is our beautiful and ferocious lesser demigod, Beautiful Beast!!!" The MC announced once he gathers his bearing.
The announcement pulled everyone including Sol who was charmed by the beautiful performance, they started to stand and giving her a standing ovation, her feat would be recorded in the colosseum as the beauty killing the beast even though there was nobody killed in the fight.
Jennie went down of the arena while conjuring a coat to cover herself, she walks with pride to the waiting room where Sol was waiting with Harry who had recovered a bit.
"Good job," they said to congratulate the girl, with her win, they have secured enough funding for their journey.
"You guy don't need to mention it, my enemy was just stupid, who would fight like that?" She said but Sol and Harry did not think so, there was no way Sol of Harry could have done the same, it was only possible because she was the one who did it.
Sol and Harry laugh awkwardly at the oblivious girl, "Now id your turn right?" Harry turned to Sol to change the topic.
Sol nodded, now the Devourer and Boulder had finished their fight, the only one remaining to be his opponent was Mad Dog.
He never heard of this man before so Sol had no clue on what he would fight with, "there is no use in thinking about it," he thought.
To his surprise, the one he met in the arena was a bare-chested man with a muscled but lean body, he did not have a single piece of armor on his body.
The only equipment the Mad Dog used was a tomahawk he carried around on his right arm, it was made from some kind of black metal that Sol could not recognize.
"Are you not going to conjure an armor before we fight?" Sol asked out of kindness, he feels bad to fight someone without protection.
The man's laugh was so loud that the whole colosseum could hear him, "Hahaha... you did not know?" he asked.
"Know what?" Sol was confused by the man's question, he was not a native and never watch an arena fight so he did not know anything about this Mad Dog.
"I can not conjure anything like you people! I'm not one of the dead!" he announced.
Mad Dog calling people of the city as the dead displeased them but no one said a thing, they had been accustomed to his insults.
Sol was alarmed by the information, "WHAT THE FUCK!?" he cursed in his heart, there was only one reason the Mad Dog could not conjure things, "He is a Minor Demi-Titan!?"
