Pure, Ice, Cold; Victory

Tuk! ...swvish~!

To the right, approximately 16 meters away from where he was and 4 meters in front. Kalek suddenly moved his head a little bit and rotated his eyeballs towards the sound that came to be just now. He saw the ruler dagger stabbing into the floor and became alarmed. But at that time he also heard the sound of the wand crossing through the air after finally finding its own target!

With the knowledge that the wand was at work already and so soon, he ignored the ruler dagger and even crossed his arms, the young man, the most precious genius of the Moribund Yearning Cult was already grasping victory despite almost being caught with his wall of flesh being torn apart so easily!

But now, with the wand working its actual magic-like power, even as Valeria had begun retreating preemptively, it was futile as not even an Obsidiafying realm cultivator could outspeed such incredible tools made out of and for - Elemental; purposes.

Dodge and block? Perhaps, if certain requirements are made, most cultivators, even those close to the later stages of the Conflagrate realm, are bloated with protective items for any kinds and sorts of situations that could or could not develop.

But now, Valeria could definitely not do any of that, and having a Mortal weapon to protect her, in this case, would only be a second casualty at the use of such a tool with such great Elemental attributes. Yet, as she backed away, Kalek realized something; looking to his right once again, he saw the flaming chains become…’solid’.

“!!” Yet, before it was in his eyes a glow of realization and apprehension, there came the sound and visualization of the chains suddenly tensing up. The flames around it became as if drilling into the arena but the ruler dagger remained immobile. Then came the sound as if multiple chains were moving at the same time followed by a whoosh that wasn’t so fast but had still an incredible speed for their current realm!

Whooooooosh~!

“AGUUGHH!!...” Valeria suddenly screamed as she was holding her chain with her left hand. Her body is no longer moving backwards but moving towards her right and in a circular angle around Kalek’s front-left. Yet, as she maneuvered and avoided the incoming semi-black energy flowing right at her, as the floor of the arena became bathed in soundless bursts of that semi-black energy collapsing onto it, a small part of such landed on the tip of her left shoulder.

She bemoaned an agonizing, loud cry of pain but she held tight to her chains and, with her right arm slowly moving her Mortal sword, it went from aiming at her 9 while her body leaned with the soles of her feet almost touching the barrier directly, to her 6; then to her 3; before finally arriving at her front and aiming at Kalek’s chest!

Ciemnosc tilted his head to the right. Since the moment that the semi-black energy so-called ‘Elemental attack’ had barely even touched Valeria, he could already see her bone exposed to the air and being shredded like termites to wood, but excruciatingly little and so efficiently unobstructed.

For a cultivator, that was such a pain only they could directly and most inherently feel, while ordinary people could only get some or most of it depending on the type of wound. But for any person to be seemingly slowly consumed by just energy, that was beyond what anyone could find as more painful as torture than this.

“...” Ciemnosc stood up, and with his legs fully straight, he blocked someone’s vision, who directly placed their hand on his shoulder to put him back down. Yet, not only did Ciemnosc, not bulge, he even ignored the idiot who would have at least been insanely injured otherwise, as he couldn’t afford to go all nuts and start killing random people at this grand event.

“...rreuughrwwrr!” Gritting her teeth, Valeria quickly arrived before Kalek, whose eyes that were already surprised and alarmed yet again and to the highest degree possible had now become shaken and fearful as he saw a Mortal grade weapon move directly towards his body!

But just as there were only a couple meters left before Valeria could reach Kalek’s body and pierce it, his body seemingly not ‘wanting’ to move; from his chest and as if it was a thorax, a dull, obscure yellowish shell formed out like the feet of several different insects taking shape after keeping them safe and warm in a cold night of the winter.

The face of a grasshopper appeared out of seemingly thin air as if having come out from a Covert Space bag but definitely having not. A large grasshopper with a head the size of Kalek’s torso appeared and creepily quickly began unfolding itself outside of Kalek’s clothes, leaving him bare naked but protecting him as it sent out waves and waves of sounds that threatened to blow Valeria away.

Burrr~, burrr~, burr~, burr~... st- slide, step- tap tap tap! Step!

But she persisted, her teeth gritted still. Her Mortal sword was now handled by both her hands, the chains already nowhere to be seen. While the Mortal sword was the only reason she wasn’t blown off and could even advance with its tip lunging upwards to cut through the sound waves emitted by the large grasshopper.

Burrr~, burrr~, burrr~, burrrr~...

The grasshopper in return seemed to look down at the female going against itself, it was growing more and more impatient as the little worm it had to protect wasn’t speaking of the words to surrender yet, and this other specimen before it held a dangerous thing and pointed it towards itself!

“...I surrender,” said Niloi from the other side of the floor in another arena. The referee in the said arena then declared out loud. “Victor is Miss Helala of the Preferential Light Justice Sect!”

“Wooooooo!” - “You go, darling!!” - “Show that evil man what you’re worth!” - “Cut his dick with your armpits!” - “...bro-” - “Cut it off!!”

Whoosh~~- tap tap, rustle~!

“!!?” In Helala’s arena, she moved her feet and arms so that her attacks wouldn’t impale the weak, surrendered man filled with bloody holes all over his body and kill him by accident, lest she is disqualified.

However, as she avoided him, her central balance and the rest of her body were still going fully out towards the severely injured Niloi, who was looking at her instead with ease and calmness, but to which made her feel better since he wasn’t spouting bullshit that made…her embarrassed anymore!

However, yet again, she was surprised to find that her tackle against this handsome orange-haired young man was avoided by the latter, then even more as she became shocked and paralyzed when feeling some hands go from the back of her arms to her front and made a lock in front of her tummy.

As for her entire back. It was engulfed by a warm, wet, warm sensation she could not have ever felt before since she was even a newborn baby. Her body trembled so intensely for 3 seconds that she didn’t even notice it as the young man’s face came close to her nape.

“I already lost. You’ve already won, so why are you still trying to take me down?” His voice was soft, crafty as well but also insufferably dorky. She wanted to say ’I- n- no I- I - I’ but her lips and whole face were far too paralyzed yet smooth to even be able of blinking some saliva even began escaping from the left corner of her mouth, and it was of a translucent tiny blue color.

“Or is it that you weren’t willing to see me become so hurt already? Could it be that you were just missing me then? Wanting to throw yourself off to me?”

His words, once again, reached her as her entire body softened at last from its semi-rigid state just now. Her rosy countenance showed as she dropped her weight back on him, his wounds not being cared for by any of the two of them. Her yellow eyes looked up with her head thrown backwards at his face. She thought imperceptibly: ‘he is so tall…’.

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

Then, she unknowingly remained in his arms and even wiggled in them a little bit playfully, as if enjoying the warmth. Her hands were placed over his shoulders as she lowered her head didn’t even have the grand event’s semifinals in her head anymore.

“...” The referee couldn’t care about them, the other arenas were also lovesick in a way and also didn’t leave their respective arenas afterwards anyway, it wasn’t his sect’s disciples getting involved in love affairs— taboo now, for the entire Self-Mutilating Honores Sect —so he couldn’t care even if he wanted to force himself to.

“Grwaaawwrr!!” Valeria, on the other hand, had a ferocious facial expression. She made her last struggles from the powerful sound waves hitting her after already the twentieth time. It was at this moment, at last as well, that Kalek splashed blood from his mouth and almost filled his whole teeth with red before saying in a barely audible tone and looking so afraid of Valeria, not her Mortal grade sword.

“I…kkgh, surr…en…der…”

“Victory for Miss Valeria of the Self-Mutilating Honores Sect!!” The referee wasted no time, shouted as loudly as he could, and then directly shoved away the soundwaves coming from the Creature protecting Kalek. The referee, however, dared not get into the arena any closer to where Valeria was suffering the injury of her life.

“YEAAAAAH!!” - “TAKE THAT YOU FUCKIN’ SCUM!! RELYING ON VENOM!!” - “Someone hurry up and save her. Her master might not be nearby!!” - “M queen, our goddess is dying! Does anyone have any advanced antidote?!”

“AAAAAH!...” Even Fu Lan was terrified when looking at Valeria writhing in pain, without mentioning Enaro, who was instead backing away already. On the other, a rather glad and gloating Kalek was looking on as the large grasshopper picked him up and drove him away into the stadium’s hallways.

Whoosh!

Ciemnosc, without any warning, arrived before Valeria after all of the arenas were cleared up since all battles had been finished, no barriers were up, and anyone could get in. The referee naturally sensed Ciemnosc coming towards this arena. But noticing it was just a Link Consolidation realm 7th stage cultivator, he let such cultivator embrace his death however he wanted.

“... Here,” not saying anything other than that, Ciemnosc showed Valeria a black pill in between the tips of his thumb, index, and middle fingers. She looked at it for a second before looking up at Ciemnosc, not knowing how to tell him that a simple basic antidote for the Darkness element wouldn’t be enough.

But she still took her anyway, not hesitating to do it. Her lips went past the pill and touched his fingers, which she retracted in a hurry in fear as she could feel the pain advancing towards her neck. All she could hope was that her master wasn’t too busy making money or connections at this grand event in the shadows…

“Mfgh, fatty,” Ciemnosc commented as he surprised her extremely by lifting her up, carrying her like a baby. At last, from Fu Lan’s arena, she closed in after dropping a box filled with medicine scent and hopped to Valeria’s arena right away.

Meanwhile, while Valeria was feeling annoyed at Ciemnosc’s words, she saw Fu Lan come towards her and felt less angry at them, especially at Fu Lan for not coming to hold her right hand right away…

“!... ?!” But then, she felt her chest molested. But just as she saw Ciemnosc’s hand on her chest she also felt the medicine begin working as a sensation of relief bathed her in comfort. The semi-black energy availing itself of her body had disappeared already, and her injured body began to be covered by a high-end unguent as Fu Lan took some from her Covert Space bags along with some other pills for recuperating.

Seeing Fu Lan put pill after pill in her mouth without a care for their cost nor their medicine toxicity affecting her future cultivation unless she worked it out, which was simple for someone like her, Valeria was silent.

In return, Fu Lan looked back at her once she was almost over plunging Valeria’s mouth with pills, she ended up losing herself in this creamy bronze skin’s black eyes. She said, her tone and lips delicate but speaking at a normal volume while they both ignored the ‘man’ that did the work at first. “It’s for tomorrow. You can’t just fight like this, whoever you end up facing off against.”

“Ugh, it better not be Enaro or you. I’d kill the first and surrender to the second,” Valeria said, rolled her eyes, and then looked at her little lover with a tiny smile. But in return, Fu Lan lowered her head after stuffing the last pill she had on her, bashfully smiled to the utter disbelief of a wide-eyed Ciemnosc, and shook her beautiful head with her very bright creamy skin appearing so tender.

“No, you wouldn’t. And that will remain that way. Come on, let’s go.”

“Mn, ah…” Valeria nodded her head, brushing the right side of her face against Ciemnosc, which made her remember that he was still existing. So as they both looked at him, she held his shirt’s center at his chest and affectionately said, “Thank you, Ciemnosc… Ciemnosc, let’s go eat at my dorm today, okay? I’ll need an available alchemist if the Elemental venom kicks in again.”

“...” Ciemnosc nodded his head obediently, appearing deathly cute with his handsome 'charms'. Fu Lan and Valeria then nodded and, the former gave a deathly glare to the referee of Valeria’s arena, making him sweat cold and warm despite being almost a whole realm above her. They began stepping out of Valeria’s arena.

“Oi, is everything alright now?” From the nearby arena, Niloi and Helala came to them, more or less, and faced their direction, and Niloi asked out loud. Ciemnosc stopped in his tracks as if he was stricken in some way. He turned around, his head only, to look at Niloi and Helela, who was supporting the former with her fragile-looking right shoulder.

“Well hello, smooth talker.” Ciemnosc greeted, then continued but with his tone turning severe and threatening. “But piss off! Don’t you dare talk to my Valy. She is mine.”

“Eh?” Niloi was speechless, while Helala pouted unnoticeably for everyone except for Ciemnosc’s eyes. Then, with a weird face, Niloi looked at Fu Lan first, and with a ‘hmmm, no reaction’ thought formed in his mind he then turned his head around to look at Enaro; Enaro wasn’t even around anymore.

Niloi’s gaze was then moved to meet Valeria’s face, who coincidentally looked in his general direction, but also, nothing. Niloi, in his confusion at their lack of a reaction to Ciemnosc’s words and declaration, which was by far way too peaceful, could only look back and forth between Fu Lan and Valeria’s faces.

“...” - “...” The girls, on the other hand, were more innocent than innocenter. They looked around and made a one-word comment here and there, looking and commenting idly as if they were simply not saying anything at all to Ciemnosc’s words.

“...Errr, let’s- I should leave. Where do- do- do- do- d- do I drop you off?” Helala, noticing the luck that Ciemnosc has, said once she remembered her master, who would surely have heard of her victory already. Hence, with her words, Niloi woke up and started walking away from the arenas with Helala supporting him all the way even outside the stadium…where they seemed to have gone anywhere, disappearing.

On the other hand, Ciemnosc triumphantly brought the beauty below the stage and…from somewhere in front of him, he lifted his head a tiny wee bit, and his eyes went upturned. As if looking directly at one single spot just a bit over 100 meters away, the one at the ‘single spot’ had his eyes shiver before contracting in disbelieving surprise at….being found.

Yet, the hatred, jealousy, and humiliation in that person’s eyes reflected the same from within his heart deep in that ugly place which is hiding an even uglier thing. But, in retrospect, Ciemnosc was even walking away already without minding Enaro’s eyes anymore.

. . .

Late at night, after the 2nd day of the grand event, in Valeria’s personal bedroom of her dormitory.

Ciemnosc was already seated at the edge of a bed, naked, while Valeria was about to doze off for the night. He and Fu Lan could’ve just let her rest alone buuuut…were too worried in case anything happened, or at least it was so for Fu Lan, as Ciemnosc was just…the third wheel but ready to take advantage of any situation.

Rustle~.

Ciemnosc fell on the bed with the aid of a pair of very bright creamy hands that pushed him down and revealed big tatas with big dots to drink from when the baby batter was poured in. And a new scent that was rather incredible, Fu Lan was indeed on top of him on all fours and about to move to Valeria’s left, as Ciemnosc was lying on her right right now.

Touch~~, rustle thud, rustle rustle thud.

“Oh, wait. Let me be at the left,” said Ciemnosc, and Fu Lan responded with her head tilting and nodding to the right, wrinkling her chin. But before she could move out of the bed and let Ciemnosc crawl to Valeria’s left side of the bed, her waist was taken, her pelvis was suddenly pressed against his own, and his cool hands made her shake a little bit.

Taking 13 seconds to get used to his cool body, something she seemed not surprised to know, only to experience for the first time, she then relaxed her body, and her full breasts fell on his shoulders, her face coming really close to his with her hands cupping his ears slowly.

“Kyaaa- eeep!” Then with her world turning around, rotating. Ciemnosc pressed her back against the bed while his ass was free for the air to violate. His dangling monster poked the unthinkable and Fu Lan blushed uncontrollably almost to the max in just a couple of seconds. She looked to her left at Valeria as if wronged, and Ciemnosc couldn’t help shaking his head from how ‘evil’ she had been before. Ah, with time, it could be forgiven, it could be forgiven ah.

Without giving anything more than a thirsty, hungry, and ruthless glare and smile, Ciemnosc opted to not force himself on her until she liked and instead went over to the left of Valeria. In Fu Lan’s eyes, a twinkle of seemingly understanding something and contemplation with a lost pair of eyes was what followed after only the ceiling was on top of her with her legs semi-spread open…on their own.

‘Phoosh, it’s so dangerous to be this intimate with Valeria’s little male lover.’; she thought, and it wasn’t as if she also was to have one, but that…she was the main lover, alright?

‘Phew, I’m so dangerous, she is so lucky Valeria is not my wifey, or I would’ve taken her as if she was my maid. I almost let you down, Mommy.’ Thought Ciemnosc, not like he wouldn’t have forced himself on her only if Valeria wasn’t his wife, she could also be his wife, but this was not a simple matter ah. He may not even fit in and, in the end, only have a pair of lesbian fuckbuddies to go around with.

Priorities.
