BLAIR Chapter 262: Tournament First Day
Four weeks have passed and the day finally arrived. The seats inside the stadium were crowded with audiences of all races. They were actively chatting amongst themselves as they waited for the event to start. On the four screens above the arena was a timer which showed the tournament’s banner.The fighters listed on today’s battles were preparing themselves by stretching and checking their equipment. They examined the sharpness of their blades, the condition of their armours, and steeled their minds.Some others were just chatting with the other fighters and friends, trying to create good sportsmanship. They knew who and when they were fighting, so they met their opponents beforehand either to simply strike conversation or to analyse who they were going to fight. The rest of them simply stayed quiet and minded their own business.Yuki wasn’t listed in today’s schedule of fighters, so she sat in the audience seat with Cecilia. Bran was unreachable and he had left to work a long time ag
BLAIR Chapter 263: The Dark Horse
For the next week of the tournament, everything was smooth sailing for both Matthew and Yuki. They were able to defeat their opponents with little effort. The crowd was excited for Yuki’s matches but were not as enthusiastic for Matthew’s because of how dull and quickly he finishes. Most of the fights Matthew would not even make him move from his spot and some of his opponents even forfeited.Matthew was not really a fan favourite because of how boring his fights were. There were also a minority of people who could actually see, or feel, Matthew’s battle prowess and were a fan of such strength. Matthew tried to not care about this and enjoyed the tournament in his own way.Yuki, on the other hand, was quite famous especially among the men. Her fights were more exhilarating and action packed. Yuki even has her own fan club that she was not aware of.Another notable fighter was an old man who dresses in rags. Despite his appearance, he was a master martial artist who could stop Gus’s ha
BLAIR Chapter 264: To Face As Equals
It was the ninth day of the tournament. It was one of the many days of the tournament that many people were waiting for. The day where the higher tier fighters were finally listed in the matches. There had been several matches before, but now was the time when the event really went up a notch.Fighters from the veteran ranks of the army, the high class dangerous convicts, and Hunters of Champion and above finally join the fray. Out of the 140 of the lower tier fighters, only 8 were qualified to this round.Their names were; Kim Yu-Jun, Ragged Old Man, Midnight, Kay Lim, Rajesh Kumar, Maple B. Marry, Osman Mehmed, and Matthew Dragunov. They had proven to be the top fighters of the lower ranks and had a fanbase (except for Matthew) of their own. They had earned this opportunity to stand on equal footing as the other 62 fighters.“The first eight matches will be between the lower rank fighter and a higher rank fighter. One for each of the fighters that made it this far. We will see wheth
BLAIR Chapter 265: Being Sporting
After his match, Matthew went to speak with Lawrence who was injured by Matthew’s attack. He went to the other side of the stadium and looked around for a bit before he found Lawrence, who was surrounded by his servants. He seemed fine though. Maybe he was already healed.“Hey! Lawrence!” Matthew wasn’t sure how to address him so he just called by his first name.His two servants that were by him immediately took defensive positions. They didn’t have weapons but they were definitely ready to fight, until Lawrence recognised Matthew and gestured for them to stand down.“Lord Dragunov, were you looking for me?” Lawrence asked.“Yeah. I just wanted to see if you were doing fine after that, but I can see that you’ve recovered already.”“Ah, I have my attendants after all. They are quite skilled in many aspects.”“That’s amazing. I too have reliable helpers. They’re not here though.”“Is that so? I would love to meet them. However, you are even more amazing, milord. There are few that can
BLAIR Chapter 266: The Tournament's Secret
It was the tenth day of the tournament already and it was also the last day before the semi finals took place. Two fighters from each of the original arenas were to be relocated to the Cyss International Colosseum. On this day as well, the assistant president of the Hunter’s Association, Kaito Mato, was present.Kaito actually came to investigate something. He came to meet Sara Whitegate, one of the Coloured Hunters, who had a fight scheduled today against a certain person who was the talk of the tournament, Midnight.Kaito arrived at a special room in a nearby inn reserved by Sara, away from the stadium. There were two guards by the door clad in silver armour. After identifying him, the guards opened the door for Kaito. Sara was already visible from the door. The door closed once he was inside.“I thought I asked for Mr. Frost?” Sara questioned Kaito.The man with neatly combed black hair put one hand on his belly and bowed. “Sorry, but the president is quite busy with something else
BLAIR Chapter 267: Midnight's Identity
"You've had your fun. Now it's my turn. [Limit Release]"As those words came out of his mouth, Midnight's aura suddenly increased exponentially. Sara had thought that he was a magic user and this was indeed surprising to everyone. Even the audience could feel the pressure from how intense Midnight's presence was.Sara remained calm but her mind was confused. (What happened? How did he suddenly get so strong? Either way, I don't know what he can do now. I need to be cautious.) Sara focused on the ensuing battle.Her eyes watched every fidget that Midnight did. She could see it. His body was shaking possibly from the immense power he was using right now.“[Angel’s Armour]” Sara summoned her special armour. Pieces of metallic covered her body leaving no exposed area. “[Lightning Flash]!”Along with her words, Sara was accelerating forward at lightning speed. Her sword already midway in its motion and within a mere fraction of a second, she cut Midnight several times across his chest. How
BLAIR Chapter 268: Days Before The Finals
The tenth day of the tournament was done and the results were in. Two fighters from each arena will be relocated to the Cyss International Colosseum. The names of such fighters were:Ajax Noz and Fillian Murad, from Cyss International Colosseum.Richard Martin and Rain Sky, from King Clementine’s Stadium.Akame Sakura and Ryuka Harini, from Leonard Academy’s Stadium.Isaac Latte and Afro Joss, from Queen Cleoparta’s Arena.And also;Midnight and Matthew Dragunov, from Omni Stadium.10 fighters, 9 matches, and 1 champion will be decided on the same day. It was unthinkable that anyone would miss it especially when most of the famous Coloured Hunters were there as well. The outcome was actually quite obvious, however, Sara's loss was quite unexpected.Three days were given for the participants to travel to Cyss, to a hotel that was sponsored by the Cyss empirical family. Each participant had their own rooms and were also provided with all the hotel's facilities. In the meantime, the aren
BLAIR Chapter 269: The Semifinals
“Ladies and gentlemen! People of all races! Welcome to the final day of the World Champion Tournament!”The hosts announced along with a barrage of confetti popping in the air. It was the day that everyone was surely excited for and the host had to be all the more hyped for it.“Hello everyone! My name is Claire!” Said the white rabbit woman.“And I am Nile!” Said the blue haired elf.“And we will be your hosts for today’s event!” They said together.The crowd erupted with incomprehensible words, but it was obvious that they were excited.“Wow! Everyone sure is fired up today! Why is that I wonder?” Claire turned to Nile.“Isn’t it obvious? It is the last day of the tournament. We said that, didn't we?”“But I don’t remember the previous days being this hype though?”“That’s because today, unlike the other days, the battles will be more exciting! More thrilling! And unlike previous years, we finally get to see some of the most iconic figures in the world pitted against each other.”“S

At the edge of the pit, it was them. A total of nine of the Scarlett family members.From the right, a woman with long red hair and black and white dress was casting a healing spell on Bilgrae. A male elf in full black armour with a star shaped bang of three red points and two white points and his black hair was split in the middle. A demon with dark violet hair and a pair of horns at the side of her head and wore a jet black skin tight suit which exposed certain parts, Crymillia. In the middle, it was a man with short bright red hair wearing a black and gold robe. Then, a man with black hair in a red and black suit. Another demon with about the same features as Crymillia except that his hair was short and he wore a black cloak over his suit. Then there was a man with spiky red hair in a red robe with a high collar, Crone, the one that Matthew and his friends fought at the Great Sandcastle. Finally, there was the black feathered avian human, Skystorm.Seeing Skystorm in good health, M
BLAIR Chapter 317: The Family pt.1
Confronting Bilgrae now was what he expected to see from a Dragon Emperor.Matthew was now at maximum output of his astra and all of it was condensed in his body. Bright red scales covered his entire body and he grew slightly in size. His muscles became more toned and also increased in size. A pair of horns of a darker tone of red grew out of his forehead that curved to the back of his head. Both of his eyes were glowing golden as his hair was.“Let’s finish this!” Matthew did not delay any further. He couldn’t maintain this form for long so he must finish the fight quickly.Matthew dashed toward Bilgrae who was ready for Matthew. Their fists clashed again and this time, not only was Bilgrae pushed back, he felt pain in his knuckles. Matthew was much stronger than before and far faster too. Utilising his speed, Matthew went for another punch to Bilgrae’s gut.“Oof!” Bilgrae got the air knocked out of him with the first hit.Matthew followed up with a barrage of punches. Bilgrae truly
BLAIR Chapter 316: Test of Strength
After being blown away by Skystorm’s wind, Matthew regained his footing and was met with the big lizardman, Bilgrae Scarlett. Bilgrae had a smirk on his face. Matthew stood up and faced Bilgrae, but his eyes were not on him. Matthew’s eyes fell on Falynx in the far distance.“Are you still concerned about that monster?” Bilgrae asked with his deep voice.Matthew looked at Bilgrae now. “It’s hard to know which one is the monster here.”“Heh, you’re right. All of us are monsters deep inside. It just takes one misstep to turn a person into one. You’ve been there too.”“No I haven’t.”“Maybe not to you. But the whole world saw you as one. Now that monster suddenly turned into an emperor and they suddenly glorified you, while some still hate you of course.”“Hmph.” Matthew huffed.“You’re angry with me, I understand. I purposely did not kill that beast. Out of compassion.”“Don’t lie. You Scarletts don’t know what that means.”Bilgrae wasn’t smiling anymore. “You don’t know how merciful fa
BLAIR Chapter 315: Vampiric Origin
Akame and Skystorm were separated from Matthew and Bilgrae. Akame stood up after being blown away by the powerful gust of wind created by Skystorm. Their eyes met. Both of their irises were bright red and gazed deeply.“I will be your foe, Red Cardinal.” Skystorm said.“What relic will you take? What will you use it for?” Akame asked.“Straight to the questions huh… That’s not any of your business. Why would you care what we take anyway if you’ll die?”“To evaluate whether it’s worth fighting for or not.”“Hmm, a smart choice. If you don't want to fight, then I shant confront you. Sadly, it seems that Lord Dragunov disagrees with you. If he is in the way, then we must remove him. I don’t think that leaves you an option now.”Backing out from this would mean that Matthew will be fighting two people. If they weren’t among the Scarlett Army’s strongest, it probably wouldn’t be hard for him to deal with alone. Both of their foes were really strong and Akame had no expectation of defeating
BLAIR Chapter 314: The Sun God's Temple
After their encounter with Falynx, they reached an agreement to conduct an investigation as they intended. Falynx had flown back to the surface on its own. Matthew and Akame headed to the temple and arrived at the front door.For some reason, even though they were underground, it was as clear as day down here. It was not dark and not too bright either, like a cloudy day.There were stairs that led to the door and the walls in the area were already partially destroyed. Some of the stairs were also gone. The giant door was made of stone and seemed to be intact with little cracks around the hinges.Matthew pushed one of the doors open. It was surprisingly heavy so Matthew had to lean into it to move it. Akame went inside first and inspected the place. There was a stage and a podium carved out of stone at the end of the great hall. A mural was carved out of the wall behind the stage depicting a supposed god holding the sun in his hands.Matthew left the door open and joined Akame to look
BLAIR Chapter 313: The Giant Winged Snake
In the middle of the desert, there were two figures running across the sands. Clouds of sand were left behind in their quick steps. The cloak provided by the minister was really working. No sand was sticking onto them.“We’re getting close.” Matthew informed Akame.Almost two hours have passed since they left the city. Many monsters came their way but they were easily dealt with. It caused a little delay but not enough to affect their momentum. Falynx’s presence was still about 10 kilometres away.“Be ready for battle.” Akame said.“Remember though, don’t kill it.” Matthew reminded her.A few minutes later, a gigantic figure could be seen flying in the sky. The creature had the body of a snake, the head of a crocodile and six pairs of batwings. Its yellow eyes with black vertical slits looked down at the incoming people below.Falynx bowed its head and began descending. Matthew and Akame saw this as an engagement in battle. Matthew called out the Dragoknight to his arms and increased
BLAIR Chapter 312: Mission Briefing
The sun was already high up in the sky in the Capital City of Kubalt. The weather was hot and dry as usual in San Coro. The street around this particular area was not that busy since it was right in front of the Palace of Al-Jauhara. One would occasionally see knights patrolling the area. Akame was waiting under the intense heat of the sun. She had covered herself in a large black cloth to protect herself from the heat. The guards out here only wore light armour compared to the ones inside, probably because their armour would be too hot to wear outside. Not too long after, she finally saw the one she was waiting for. Matthew was jogging toward her. He wore his long sleeved red hooded jacket and an orange shirt under it and a pair of black pants. He also had his usual travelling backpack with him. “Phew, sorry, did you wait long?” “Not too long. Did you not use a teleportation scroll?” Akame asked. “I did, but the closest one was to Yanbue City. Neither Platinum nor Rose were famil
BLAIR Chapter 311: No Rest
“What brings you here, Akame?” Matthew asked.Just a few moments ago, Akame had arrived in front of Platinum’s cave. Someone like who was a Coloured Hunter, passing through the Blackwood Forest and up the cold mountain was not a problem. Or not.Akame was hugging herself to keep warm but it was not helping at all. “Achoo! C-can we talk somewhere warmer?”“Oh, come on in.” Matthew invited her inside.Akame went in and they both made their way to the living room. Matthew didn't think that it was alright to bring her to the others directly. The living room had a fire to keep them warm, so here was enough.“Ah~” Akame warmed herself up by the fire and put her hands out.“So, what are you doing here without equipment to survive on a mountain? Certainly you didn’t come to interview us?” Matthew asked.“Queen Cleopatra sent me. We will investigate the ruin she mentioned together.” Akame said with the same emotionless voice as usual.“Cleopatra? Well, I was gonna head there in a few days anyw
BLAIR Chapter 310: Future Family
Matthew and Rose arrived at the foot of the mountain just by the Blackwood Forest where they dropped off of the carriage while Guinevere headed back to her palace. It was already very late in the afternoon when they got to the forest. Matthew carried Rose's luggage in hands while he also wore his backpack."I can carry my own stuff." Rose said."No, I will carry them for you. Anyway, are you sure you'll be fine?""My magic resistance is quite high. I also know how to disperse mana if it does accumulate inside me. How long exactly is it going to take to get up there again?" Rose looked up at the ledge near the mountain peak where Platinum's abode was."Well, usually only a few hours if you're moving at my usual speed. If we're walking though, a few days at least." Matthew said."But we're not walking, right?" Rose asked."Nope." As Matthew replied, a shadow flew past over them.A jade green dragon circled them as she descended to the ground nearby. Upon landing, the dragon folded its w
