"To be honest, I still can't move on from the previous match, Matt," Lognar muttered, even though now a new fighter had entered the arena. "But we have to focus on the next match."
"Yeah, we should talk about this fighter, Lognar." Matt chimed in as the sounds of leaves rustling, the hissing of serpents, and the violent river flow filled the stadium. Those sounds merge into a powerful melody.
"From Thelm, Universe 300!!!" Vivianne made her usual announcement. "Urukkaaaaa!!!"
A nearly seven-foot-tall lizardman with green scales walked towards the arena. He raised his spear while shouting, but the audience's response was far from what Matt expected.
Like Lognar, those people still talk about the Rory vs Jun fight.
Well, he couldn't blame them. That battle was beyond expectations.
Urukka then let out a roar from his long-snouted mouth. With his tail wagging wildly, he cursed. "You damn audience! You don't want to see me!? Just go home!!!
"Well, this match was quite interesting, even though it was short." Lognar grimaced as he looked at Urukka's almost shapeless body being carried by the staff. "Poor Arael, she has to reconstruct that lizardman's body." Meanwhile, Liam seems disoriented. Shirtless and already back in his human form, he had to be led by an official to get out of the arena. "Let's move on to the next match," Matt said after the staff finished cleaning the arena. "You're going to love this, Lognar." "Yeah, apart from Norug, I'm also curious about that other new fighter we're going to watch. I've never seen her train, so I don't know what to expect." As the stadium's light dimmed, accordion sounds, guitar melodies, and drum beats filled the air. As in the previous show, Norug Bonebuckle walked into the arena, slamming a clay alcohol bottle on his head. "Norug said he would fight as best he could so that Shori would like him even more." Lognar chuckled while Norug h
"No, I can already see it from far away." Elisa put her hands back. "I will defeat you. My words are absolute." Norug's annoyance was peaked, even to the point of triggering his veins to bulge. Lognar studied the Dwarf Warrior's expression. "He's confused, and it gets him. This opponent was truly beyond his comprehension. Even Salvia, someone from a completely different culture, could still be analyzed. While Elisha…. She's so unique and terrifying, despite her appearance." "Interesting take." Matt rubbed his chin. "I slightly heard what Norug said earlier. He's never seen anything like Elisha." The dwarf warrior started pounding the floor with his hammer. This time, those outside the arena were unaffected. The magic dampener had been enhanced many times over. You will only see the arena and cage shaking from the outside. "Ooooh!!!" Lognar shouted, and his gaze shifted to Elisa, who seemed unaffected by it, even though Javier, the referee, had
{Earlier on the day, before the show} Shori entered a preparation room in the stadium. Her gaze met a white envelope on a table. There was a heart-shaped red seal on that thing. Annoyed, the tribe woman took the envelope and checked the writing on the back. [From Norug to my love Shori] Shori tore up the letter without opening it, leaving the pieces scattered on the table. She then took a deep breath. There's no point in dealing with that. She had more important matters. This fight is one of them. She then put down her bag and took out several palm-sized pieces of paper. The tribe woman had a bit of trouble sticking the papers to the wall because she wasn't used to using that thing called tape. Shori took a few steps back, looking at the name of her god, which was surrounded by other names. She knelt down, clasped her hands, closed her eyes, and prayed. "My God, bless my f
The ninja glanced at Shori, who was being carried out by the staff, then continued his words while pacing back and forth. "A few days ago, Mr. President gave me sake." He then pointed to the audience. "It's an alcoholic drink that comes from my land. In my whole life, that was the first time I drank that thing. My body gets warm, I get a bit of a fly sensation, and that thing is really sweet. So sweet that I want more." Shin took off his facemask and lowered his hood, leaving all that remained on his head was the metal-plated headband. "Why are you keeping it, Shin?" Matt whispered more to himself. "No wonder my masters love that drink so much. It's bliss." Shin stopped in the middle of the arena, looking at the screen. "Oh, man…. I want that sweetness again… No, I want more, the things I never got. The things enjoyed by them are at the top." He then pointed to the entrance. "Rory Egan! We both fight for our people! So that they can live well!
The show is over. After having a short evaluation meeting with the staff, Matt walked out of the stadium with Megumi. "To be honest, this is quite tiring, Megumi." The president took a deep breath. "On one hand, I can heave a sigh of relief that MFC 2 is done, but after that, I worry about what's next." "I'm sure you can do well in MFC 3, sir." The assistant wore a warm smile. "You've set things up to keep the audience interested in coming back." Carrying the clay bottle, Shin Nagato joined Matt in walking down the hall. "How is it, Mr. President? Are you disappointed that my match was so short?" "Your speech already compensates for that. I didn't expect you to have such extraordinary speaking skills." Matt chuckled, pointing at the ninja's bottle. "Is that wine?" Shin slightly lifted the bottle that looked like Lognar's. "Yeah, it's good. But I prefer sake, though." Megumi chimed in. "I suggest drinking in moderation, or you'll regret
Salvia practiced on her roller skates, hopping from branch to branch as usual. She can see clearly even at night using a special pair of glasses. Her movements flowed like water, almost without pause. However, the violent roar of the motors on her shoes indicated that her actions weren't that gentle. After somersaulting in the air against the backdrop of a large moon, she stepped on a tree branch again. But crack sound caught her off guard. The branch is snapped. She performed a complicated maneuver with her body, then landed on level ground with a backward slide. She grimaced, imagining how painful it would be if she failed to land properly. The location of that branch is very high. When checking her roller skates, she found nothing wrong. It seemed that she stepped on the branch for a split second too long, so the force of the wheel's rotation crushed that thing. That woman rarely makes mistakes like that. Did it happen becau
Rory squirmed in the clinic bed, wincing in pain. Even so, the black veins on his body had reduced considerably. Arael, who was bringing her shining palm to the red-haired warrior's chest, sighed. "I will ask Mr. Nash to ban you from wearing armor like that again. I'm having a tough time healing you." "But you are wonderful, Miss Arael." That man winked but still looked in pain. "In my previous life, it took my friends almost a year to fix me, while you can in such a short amount of time." "In me, there is a small part of a god." The healer explained. "So, I do have an almost divine ability to heal. I actually admire your mortal friends who can heal you in under a year." After Arael stopped the medication, Rory breathed a sigh of relief. "Chances are you'll be fully healed three days before MFC 3." Arael tidied up her healing equipment on the table. "I hope that's enough time for you to prepare everything." "It is more than enough." Ro
The fighters competing in MFC 3 are already sitting in a row in the stadium arena, with the president in the middle. But what happened is very far from Matt's expectations. "Aren't you worried about your image if you keep wearing that outfit?" One of the journalists, a man with 3 feet of spiky hair, asked from a chair outside the arena. "I'm not worried at all." Lexi was still smiling, even though it was the fifth question regarding her appearance. "In fact, I am delighted with the attention they give me. And what I see from the audience, they give positive responses." "Next question," Matt said before the journalist asked further. When some other news workers raised their hands, the president pointed to a woman in a dress full of frills. "Please, lady." “Esokunn Robulu, from universe 1447.” The woman replied. "To Lexi Mirea. With an appearance like that, are you okay with being the object of the boys' fantasies?" Lexi cleared her throat. "Wel
