Chapter 10: Duel 3
Duel 3
It seems to me that after Otor's attack, everyone thought that Glan was finished, but the next moment, bone shields formed around Glan and reflected Otor's attacks.
Also, the next moment, bone bullets flew at Otor. And I saw how the bone slightly touched Otor's cheek and the first blood was spilled.
From this action, everyone exploded with joyful exclamations.
I was surprised because Glan awakened his mother's ability.
This is a very rare phenomenon in the devilish society. Usually, the clan trait is passed down from father to children.
(Yes, you can remember the Gremory, but in the underworld, no one knows the Gremory clan trait. I believe that this ability increases the potential of children. Since with each generation, the Gremory become stronger.)
Of course, there is an option that Glan awakened 2 clan traits at once, but I do not believe in it, the probability is too small.
I hope that I acquired my mother's ability.
This is a very imbalanced ability. Here we need to make a digression, my mother's name is Sarah Lucifuge and in the past she was the daughter of the Belial clan.
The clan trait of this house is very strong. It allows you to dispel a spell if you understand their structure and principles of operation.
It is called Uselessness and to be honest the name is not very good. From what I read in the past world, there is or was born a devil using this power and in the possible future he will be strong.
I do not remember his name, but after reading his characteristics I thought that he is strong and in general this ability sounds broken.
In the battle, however, it continued to heat up after the first injury received, Otor did not let go of the initiative from his hands and continued to advance on Glan.
Just at that moment, an arrow of pure demonic energy flew at Glan.
This is a very strong move since it consists entirely of mana, but also dangerous since a large amount of mana is consumed and it is relatively easy to dodge.
Otor understood this too, since at the moment when he released the attack, Glan froze in place with horror in his eyes. Most likely, Otor used his clan trait and scared Glan.
Thus, Glan froze in place, but he was able to use bones to block. Unfortunately, this was not enough, it is clear from the fight that Glan has only recently begun to study his abilities and controls them about the same as a 3rd hand.
During the fight, he failed to cast a spell 4 times. Otor only did it once.
This speaks of their inexperience, but for young devils this is forgivable, if a 200 year old shows this, he will be laughed at.
Glan was unable to completely block the attack of pure demonic energy and a deep gaping wound appeared on his shoulder.
From this, the stadium roared and filled with a standing ovation. After the duel turned into a pursuit.
Otor methodically used the enemy's wounds and forced Glan to make mistakes. It was clear that Glan was exhausted and was already fighting on his own will, and not skill.
At this moment, Glan took off and began to dodge the fire spheres thrown at him. At the same time, gaining altitude.
Having gained altitude, Glan began to descend at high speed. I already understood what was going on and wanted to slap myself on the forehead since the stadium did not understand and almost everyone had bewilderment written on their faces.
The next moment, everyone's face changed to furious and they began to shout and insult Glan. I will explain what is happening.
In the underworld, everyone considers those who climb into hand-to-hand combat to be scum. In their opinion, this is a disgusting form of battle in which there is no beauty and attractiveness. For any devil, hand-to-hand combat is absolutely unacceptable in any form.
Of course, not for me, since I will also learn close combat.
Why make your weakness so obvious? And experienced devils, no matter how much they despise hand-to-hand combat, still train and try to understand it. So as not to be killed simply because you let the enemy get too close.
All the devils who did not understand this were eventually killed. Devils have never been rational and it is quite natural that everyone sitting here began to root for Otor.
Glan dived straight at Otor and delivered a powerful punch that was blocked by a stone wall. However, this did not help much as the wall shattered into pieces, unable to withstand the pressure.
In general, the clan trait of the Buer house is ideal for close combat, unfortunately, the prejudices of the devils do not allow them to fully reveal themselves.
On the battlefield, Glan extended his hand and the bone flew straight at Otor, who panickedly dodged.
Not stopping there, Glan ran straight at the enemy and raised his fist to strike.
It is clear that if Otor was taught hand-to-hand combat, then only theory, since he was disoriented and did not understand what to do. I expected a one-sided beating, but this duel is truly exciting.
The fist hit Otor right in the face and he flew across the entire arena and was printed into the wall. I do not believe that Glan has enough physical strength for such a blow.
Most likely, the momentum with which he began the attack gave this blow its power.
If Otor had been hit by the first blow, there is serious reason to believe that Otor would have died on the spot and my father would have gotten into trouble for it. I looked at my sister and asked,
"How was the fight?"
Greyfia looked at me and said
"This is very exciting so don't distract me I don't want to miss anything."
I pretended to be very offended and clutched my heart.
"Oh my sister is so ruthless she doesn't need me anymore she hurt me so much."
Grayfia looked at me with a blank face at my exclamations and returned to watching. And at that moment I experienced a severe crisis.
Returning to the duel I saw Otor coming out of the wall and realized that a battle of wills was about to begin.
Pov. Otor Sallos
This is a worthless person!
How dare he use such dirty tactics.
Doesn't he know that everyone will consider him a worthless person after this?
The duel is not going according to the script at all. I must win unconditionally, without a hint of resistance. Before the duel. mother told me to destroy him and what is happening?
I am standing here all beaten up, I am better than him and I will never lose to him.
I promised my family that I would bring victory. Coming out of the wall that this worthless bastard slammed me into, I will not forgive him for this !
I don't understand hand-to-hand combat, but I have driven him into a disadvantageous position so many times.
I think he is a terrible strategist, so I must outsmart him.
I have already come up with a plan in my head: if everything goes well, I will win!
Pov. Glan Borbotos.
I am at a disadvantage.
My father has been telling me for the past 2 weeks that I cannot lose, but I am not sure.
I have always heard about my destiny to strengthen my brother. There is a ritual in the Borboros house.
The essence of the ritual is that siblings combine their blood and the power of one passes to the other.
My father wants me to transfer all my powers to my brother and I agreed with this, until recently, until I saw her.
I do not know what happened to me at that moment. It was as if I was born again. Alfia Lucifuge was incredible.
I couldn't take my eyes off her. I just enjoyed looking at her. I didn't care about my home, family or position when I challenged her it was because I didn't see anyone else besides me.
She looks at me I could lose in any other situation but to lose in front of her would be the greatest shame for me.
