Rite of Challenge Part 2

Right after they said that went straight for Tulip as fast as possible to take out a major threat from the start because she was by all intensive purposes the weakest of the 5 she was actually compared to the other 25 nameless brave women who came into this fight just to help out the other 4 strongest.

I slammed my blade into her, luckily she was fast enough to block but not strong enough to send her flying into some of the others causing them to fall off the stage,

With that out of the way I was suddenly ambushed by Dahlia with her nearly slashing me with her poisoned blades but I was able to just dodge and retaliate to her sneak attack, but she was able to deftly dodge and hide behind Lila who was smashing the club down on my head which required me to block with all of my might to stop the gigantic club from crushing me, it put massive strain on me to the point I was forced to one knee just to fend off the blow.

The other two, Clementine and Iris, could have ambushed me but they had a sense of honor so they wouldn't join another's fight unless they asked for help, Dahlia on the other hand would attack whenever she has the opportunity and seeing me stuck she came from my right to strike while I was preoccupied.

This severely pissed me off thinking that this bitch is trying to take advantage of me, so using all my strength I pushed off the giant ass club and stomped the ground sending a wave of flames causing her to have to retreat should she keep going my way to get burned by my flames.

After sending them off I sensed danger and saw the remaining ones of the original 25 were pulling there snake bows and releasing there arrows right towards me forcing me to defend and deflect the arrows heading my way, this pissed me off even more making me use one of my signature moves to take the rest of them down.

"Brave Burst: Flare Ride!!!" I sent a wave of flaming blade energy towards them that they used all there might to block and they did block it however they couldn't stop its momentum pushing them all off stage making the stage only having 5(?) of us still here.

"Hmmmm…. Those flames of his are like a cloak of haki covering his body and blade, it's very sloppy for its form but it'll be able to get the job done against most low level haki users but I don't know how he'll fair against these girls when they have actually trained in haki for some time now…" (Nightshade)

*Come on Vargas I know you can do this, please don't lose!* Hancock thought to herself as she watched the fight below with a few small tears in her eyes.

*Now how the hell am I gonna take these girls down, best thing to do is get the giant and the poison bitch out of here, I might need to pull out a stronger move to take them out of the picture*

With those thoughts in my head and the two of them still trying to pick themselves off the ground it was time to use something stronger, so I held my blade in both of my hands and gathered all my excess flames into my blade and charged it all with fire and launched my own special attack.

"Super Brave Burst: Flare Burst Hurricane!!!" I say as I begin to rapidly spin at high and intense speeds before sending it careening towards them sending Dahlia flying off the stage but Lila using her size and mass tanking the damage and just barely able to stop herself from falling off the edge this caused veins to pop off my head in both anger and irritation so before she could steady herself I jumped with all the strength in my legs to launch myself to head height before using a normal albeit painful move on her head.

"Flaming Drop Kick!!!" It caused enough damage to deform her face a bit but mostly it was used to send her finally tumbling down the edge of the arena, but now I was tired and needed to rest but I still had 2 wait no 3 left to fight, I finally realized Tulip was still here just that she was exhausted it looks like from that attack earlier and she must have barely held onto the edge of the ring to keep her from falling into the pit below the stage before she pulled herself up, but I'll have to worry about her later because I need to focus on these 2 probably the strongest fighters in Amazon lily, excluding the princesses and elders that is, Captain of the Guard Clementine and the red headed Berserker Iris.

But in all honestly I was tired I really wanted to sleep, eat some nice meat and go to bed but no I'm dead tired about to fight the captain and I assume vice captain of the royal guards of the kuja tribe, but the only thing in my corner that's helping me out is that they're polite enough to let me get some of my strength back.

*I can't believe that the women here are so strong, I think that just shows how weak I really am and how long of a journey that I have to go, had I not evolved a few days ago there's no way in hell I'd even make it this far but I have to win this, I have to stay because this is the only place I can truly call home.*

After thinking those thoughts I pull out a corked ceramic bottle and ask, "Mind if I take a drink before we fight?"

"I don't mind because I'll be fighting you next pretty boy, I like the fight to be fun so get all your strength before we really start to fight because it's more fun that way for me." Iris said in a very nonchalant manner.

*The only thing going for me is that there nice enough to only fight me one on one if those 2 came at me at the same time id be completely fucked but with it being like this I possibly have a shot at surviving through this whole challenge*

I just nod and pull the cork of the bottle, it's an in game item call Hi-Cure meant to heal up a majority of injuries and in my case heavy amounts of fatigue as well as I take a swig of it before hacking and coughing at its horrible taste, imagine pepto and cough syrup mixed together, that's what this shit tastes like, but I force it all down to the last drops before tossing the bottle off stage and regaining my energy and strength.

"Ooo a little pick me up to bring you back into the game huh? I like it that means you'll actually be fun to fight now." She says in glee with a sadistic look on her face as she licks the edge of her blade.

*Sigh great now this is even worse I'm fighting a sadist that from what I can tell likes to play with and break her opponents, but that doesn't mean I can't use that against her*

I then raise my blade and point at her "Then let's get this fight started then."

She just grins like a cat that just found her favorite toy and does an extremely fast leaping strike at me that I barely have enough time to block its force causes me to skid backwards.

"Ooo you are strong, this will make this more fun when I break you!" She says with such a happy smile you wouldn't believe she just said such sadistic words.

"I bet you get off on this type of stuff don't you?"

"Mhmmm I just get all hot and bothered watching my enemy's scream and wither in pain" she says with a look of ecstasy on her face reminiscing on all her old battles.

*it's even worse than I thought, but with the title of berserker isn't given just for nothing I get the feeling it'll be more of a challenge just to take her down the normal way, I need to take her out a different way for me to win against her, and I think I have a plan to beat her but this is gonna hurt like a bitch…*

So I went with what I hoped to be the best plan for fighting her, as our blades crossed and fought each other I wasn't able to land any decisive hits on her but she was able to hit me and began to slowly carve me up with her sword, my armor was like butter to her as she slashed at my chest, back, arms, legs, all over my body but she was purposefully not letting the cuts go too deep just so I could feel pain all over my body, the more we fought the closer we inched towards the edge of the stage right where I wanted her.

She had an absolute look of ecstasy on her face as she licked her blade to taste my blood, "Well it was fun playing with you kid but this is where it ends." She says as she lefts her blade to do a final slash towards my head.

"Yeah it is… for you." I say as I look at her with an evil grin which startles her mid chopping motion where I then deflect her blade with my own since even though I'm hurt all over she hasn't really done any extreme bodily harm to me just flesh wounds all over, I leave her wide open for an attack but instead of my blade I drop it to close in on her to do something completely unexpected, since she gets sexually aroused by causing pain to people she was already extremely aroused from hurting me all over so I used the 10,001 ways to please a woman on her, specifically a mixture between sensual massage and pressure points by gently massaging the sides of her belly and hitting three pressure points in rapid succession one right below the belly button and 2 right on her where I guessed her ovaries were located.

"IYYYYYAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!" She screamed out as she came hard from that surprise massage, mother's in the audience shielded there daughters eyes while a majority of the audience began to blush and look away in embarrassment for her from seeing all that, but I used that moment when she was out of focus to grab her by her arm and shoulder throw her, flinging her off stage finally leaving it as just me and Clementine, and Tulip I guess.

But then I noticed that the majority of the audience were looking at me strangely.

"What? I did what I could to win you don't have any right to judge me on what I do."

"You could have fought her normally instead of letting her thrash you around like a rag doll just so she'd get all excited so you could do… that to her…" Clementine said with a bit of a blush on her face.

"Whatever I don't need to explain myself to any of you, well now we're at the final battle this is all or nothing for me, but first before that let me clean the stage up a bit." I say as I go over to the resting but blushing Tulip, "Do you want to walk of stage by yourself or do I need to push you down into the pit?" I say over looking her and seeing she was still wide awake but pretending to be out cold.

*…. When did she get there* this was the thought of the majority of the audience and Clementine as well because everyone only ever saw 29 people enter the arena to face him but now they realize there was actually 30 people instead of 29

"… That girl could become one of the worlds best assassins if given the training" (Rose)

"…. Fine I'll leave on my own…" she says as she slowly gets up and proceeds to walk off stage,

Now it really was time to start the final battle,

"But seriously why did you fight Iris the way you did?"

"If your given a nickname like Berserker then it's safe to assume she gets stronger the more damage she takes the stronger she'll become, but luckily she isn't the type to hurt herself to increase her strength or my plan wouldn't have worked cause it's hard to do that to a woman when they are enraged after all."

"Huh clever, but now you've let yourself get wounded all over dripping blood all over the arena do you think you even have a chance in that state?"

"Oh what wounds?" I say as I cauterize all the wounds with my fire to stop the bleeding.

"…. Alright wise guy let's see how you do against me." She comes at me like a freight train and starts rapidly jabbing at me with her spear while I can barely be able to deflect and defend her rapid strikes

And this goes on for awhile but for the majority I'm on the defensive getting a hit in here or there on her but most of them she's able to dodge or just outright block my attacks while she's starting to whittle down my defenses after about 15 minutes of back and forth between us all my armor is gone leaving shirtless covered in wounds all over making me look more like a blood man than a normal guy hell I can't even look out my left eye because of one of the cuts to my forehead obscuring my vision.

She was somewhat better looking than me she had cuts, scrapes and bruises all over but out of the two of us it's clear she was winning.

"Sorry kid but I'm gonna have to end this now." She says as she starts to charge all her energy into the top of her spear making it look pitch black in color

*SHIT I'M GONNA LOSE IF I LET THAT HIT ME, SYSTEM IF YOUR LISTENING I'LL SACRIFICE ANYTHING JUST SO YOU CAN HELP ME OUT!!!*

System:….. acknowledge is host willing to sacrifice another year of being unable to use the evolution system to temporarily unlock the Overdrive system?

*... Agh Fine I accept the conditions to use the overdrive system!!!!* it was making my heart bleed knowing I can't evolve anything for 2 years straight that's the equivalent of wearing a chastity belt for 2 years straight when I am surrounded by super models who want to fuck all the time, it's that bad for me.

System: acknowledged temporarily unlocking the over drive system, overdrive is now available, do you wish for your next attack to be an overdrive move? Y/N?

"Yeah let's end this." I say as a massive amount of energy envelopes me and my blade also turning it pitch black with the center of the blade looking similar to lava, the blades chain extended and wrapped around my right arm so I could have a better grip on the blade.

Silence enveloped the arena as we prepared our attack it was so quiet that you could even hear the shishi-odoshi off in the distance making the clunking sound as it filled up with water but we waited till the third time it clunked since the arena went dead silent before we hurled our signature moves at each other.

"Snake Gods go to Sea!!!"

"Ultimate Brave Burst: God Shattering Star!!!"

And as our attacks hit a black lightning strike shoots out in all directions causing a cloud of dust to envelop the arena obscuring the vision of everyone involved only for a few seconds as moments later they see someone get launched out of the arena and implanted in the wall was none other than the captain of the royal guard Clementine who clearly was knocked unconscious from that strike.

"Captain Clementine is unable to continue the battle the winner of the Rite of Challenge match is Firebrand Vargas!" Elders unfortunately had to announce to the crowd.

The girls were all happy and excited that he had won.

But at what cost?

When the dust settles the audience was finally able to see there winner.

But to there shock and to the horror of the girls Vargas was stuck in a falling back position with Clementines spear impaled straight through his gut and out his back straight into the arena blow him, his blood was slowly dripping the down the shaft of the spear into a pool of blood below.

"VARGAS!!!!!" The girls screamed and shouted as they dashed down as quickly as they could with the elders, other royal guards and healers rushing to his aid….
