Chapter 26

Huff...

A lot had changed about Vlad this past year, today he was facing an opponent several times stronger, but there wasn't even a bit of hesitance or fear, rather Vlad felt excited, he had found fighting thrilling and exciting, maybe it was his innate human nature nonetheless, Vlad enjoyed it.

"Vlad Tepes, that was your name, it seems you are strong to reach the finals, Come, Vlad, show me your full power!!" Luca spoke in a proud tone.

This was the first time Luca had spoken and Vlad was a little surprised, he expected Luca to not even care about him and just start the fight.

Ring Ring Ring!!!

A loud bell rang, starting the fight between Luca and Vlad.

Vlad immediately scanned Luca attentively, trying to monitor his movements, Luca seemed to stand still for a while, maybe he was anticipating Vlad to attack him, but he quickly sprinted towards Vlad.

Even though Vlad was placing all his attention on Luca, he was only able to catch his movement last second, Vlad immediately activated his evasion stance and jumped into the air to avoid Luca.

Luca looked above, immediately noticing his attempt to dodge his strike, he immediately moved his katana towards Vlad's figure.

Vlad's already expecting Luca, got into a ducked position.

Luca's katana grazed the air behind Vlad's feet as he successfully dodged his attack.

Luca was a little baffled at Vlad's attempt to dodge his attack, a little smile crept on his face as he looked at Vlad's descending figure in the air.

"Do you think you have wings, if so you are dearly mistaken?" Luca spoke in a stoic tone.

Vlad immediately took out his spear and activated the 3rd wrathful spear arts stance, using his body weight, Vlad further increased the speed and power behind his attack.

Noticing Vlad's attack, Luca also prepared his attack, he tightly gripped his katana as large veins became visible on his hand.

Vlad knew this was his strongest attack, if he missed this opportunity, there was no chance of his winning, so he placed all of his attention into this attack.

Bang.....

A loud noise of metal clashing erupted throughout the arena, Vlad was surprised as the force of the attack was so great, he was once again propelled into the sky, even further than last time.

A large creator was formed beneath Luca, as one of Luca's knees was on the ground.

The whole crowd was surprised seeing Luca like this, even Vlad was surprised, but he wasn't going to miss this opportunity, as he corrected his stance Vlad once again activated the 3rd stance.

Just as Vlad was about to approach Luca, he heard a small laugh, immediately he felt killing intent, far greater than previously.

Unknown to Vlad was that Luca had already gotten up from his kneeled position, and had already prepared his attack, his pitch-black katana glowed with a dark red light.

Luca looked at Vlad's mindless descending figure approach him, even though Vlad's mind was currently out of this world, his body was already heading towards Luca.

Luca also couldn't dodge, firstly Vlad's spear was a few inches away from him plus he was in a creator, which made his movement even awkward.

BAM...

Another loud noise erupted, as their weapons clashed.

Vlad was sent flying towards the crowd unconscious, while Luca stood on an even larger creator, the whole arena was broken.

Suddenly Ria's Uncle appeared and caught the unconscious Vlad before he would fall into the crowd.
