Sovereign of the Firmaments

"My name is [Blood tamer] and this is my first battle in the [Fighting arena]. So, I am winning it…hehe."

The red-masked young man introduced himself. Of course, it only said his alias and not his real name.

"Really?"

Even though Lucas was unable to move in his current state, he still maintained the calm and cool composure, making the [Blood tamer] frown.

"I don't know where you are getting your confidence from, but you can't win against me with…."

"Phantom, do it now."

Lucas didn't wait for the [Blood tamer] to finish his word as he called his spirit beast.

He was a little doubtful whether he could summon his spirit beasts in the fighting arena; however, when Lucas saw his opponent summon a spirit beast, it became clear that he could summon his spirit beasts.

So, without any hesitation, he summoned the Phantom eagle which appeared out of the shadow of [Blood tamer].

'Screech'

'Huh? A spirit beast? Interesting…but it is just a rank 3 spirit beast.'

[Blood tamer] was only surprised for a moment; however, he was not worried much about it.

[Blazing wave]

Lucas didn't expect the phantom eagle to kill [Blood tamer]. He was just using it as a distraction to free himself.

So, he used an intermediate spell to turn the python that was binding him into tiny pieces.

"What? You are a fire mage?"

When [Blood tamer] saw Lucas use an intermediate spell, he was shocked and became angry.

The thing is, [Fighting arena] restricts the system hosts to check the data on others. 

So, [Blood tamer] was shocked for a moment and became angry before shouting, "I don't want to use my full strength in the first battle itself; however, I just want to kill you at any cost."

Even though the death in the [Fighting arena] would not kill the system hosts or their spirit beasts in the real world, [Blood tamer] just wanted to kill Lucas for killing his favourite pet.

"Everyone, come out and kill that bastard."

Soon, five huge spirit beasts that looked like they lost their sanity appeared in front of the [Blood tamer] as they roared at Lucas.

'Looks like Blood tamer is a profession and he used it as his alias.'

Lucas was still calm as he analyzed his current situation.

'Even though these spirit beasts are still in rank 3, they are just as powerful as rank 4 spirit beasts. Maybe, it is some kind of skill to temporarily boost their power.'

Lucas was right on his assumptions as he looked at the [Blood tamer], before coming to a conclusion, 'I can drag the fight and wait until these spirit beasts return to now; however, my rewards will decrease with each passing second. So, I have to finish the fight as soon as possible.'

"Roar"

'Swoosh'

While Lucas analyzing the situation, the four spirit beasts jumped at him while the fifth one was waiting for something.

'Shadow jump'

However, Lucas easily escaped the attack using his skill and appeared behind the four mindless spirit beasts.

'I just have to kill him; however, he has some kind of defence that was blocking my dagger. Should I just use the advanced spell in my first match itself?'

Just like [Blood tamer], Lucas wanted to finish his first match with some simple skills and hide the powerful skills for the later matches.

Even though the system hosts can't use the system to check the information on others, they could watch the fight from the outside to collect the data on the system hosts.

Most of them use that data to sell others and a few use it for themselves in case they get matched in future battles in the fighting arena.

However, Lucas didn't want to drag the fight any longer as it would decrease his rewards which he had yet to know what kind of rewards this fighting arena would give him.

'But the problem with using the advanced spell now is the chanting time.'

Earlier, he was able to [Blood tamer] with the help of the Phantom eagle; however, it would not work anymore as the [Blood tamer] was very angry and there were five mindless spirit beasts that were chasing him.

'So, be it. I will go all out.'

Soon, Lucas stopped running as he turned towards the mindless spirit beasts that were rushing towards him.

'Since I can use the advanced spell until I kill these spirit beasts, I might as well kill them.'

With that thought in his mind, Lucas revealed an evil smile on his face as he muttered, [Thunder knight's rage]

'Ding,

        The host's battle prowess will be temporarily increased by three times for the next ten minutes.

"Time to kill the mindless beasts along with the mindless master."

After activating his skill from the 'Knight's profession', Lucas' body was covered in lightning arcs as he activated his movement technique [Ghost steps].

'Daggers'

Instead of short swords, Lucas summoned two rank 3 daggers as his assassin rank was two tiers higher than the knight rank.

With the 3 times boost from the skill, Lucas knew his assassin rank would definitely break into the next rank and killing a low-level rank 4 spirit beasts was as easy as cutting cabbages.

[Thunder knight's rage], [Ghost steps], the weapon mastery from [Tier 5 lesser assassin].

Adding all these things, Lucas' speed reached another level where the [Blood tamer] could barely see Lucas.

'Slash'

'One'

'Slash'

'Two'

'Puchi'

'Three'

'Slash'

'Four'

'Kacha'

'Five'

Before [Blood tamer] could realize what was happening, his five frenzied spirit beasts were killed by Lucas and disappeared into thin air.

"So, it has finally come down to us."

Lucas' face was covered in blood from the spirit beasts as he wiped it and said to [Blood tamer] with a slight smile on his face.

"You….how did you do it? Don't come near me. Even if you want to, you can't break my blood barrier."

Finally, the [Blood tamer] who was hoping to make a grand entry in the [Fighting arena] was showing signs of fear.

[Infernal bomb]

Without wasting any time, Lucas directly used the advanced spell for the first since he got it.

Lucas used the time when [Blood tamer] was anxious and thinking of something to turn the current situation to his advantage.

But, it was too late for [Blood tamer] to do anything as he already used all his trump cards which were his five frenzied spirit beasts and they were already killed by Lucas. So, he couldn't summon them until his next time in the [Fighting arena].

Soon, the fire elements started condensing in front of Lucas and formed around the size of a football.

"I hope you can win your second battle in the [fighting arena]."

After saying these words, Lucas casually waved his hands as the [Infernal bomb] landed on [Blood tamer], whose mind was still anxious but he tried to escape.

However, Lucas was sure that [Blood tamer] can't escape the range of the [Infernal bomb].

'Boom'

A huge explosion happened when the [Infernal bomb] landed on [Blood tamer], making [Blood tamer] into pieces before disappearing into thin air.

<Congratulations to [Lonewolf] for winning your first battle in the [Fighting arena]>
