BXBX NOVEL Chapter 312 Last Bout [part 1]
Chapter 312 Last Bout [part 1]
Silence falls upon the arena as everyone watches in astonishment as Zeno explodes into tiny fragments. However, the protective crystal on the battlefield flashes with a brilliant light, and in the blink of an eye, Zeno\'s form is restored to the field.
Still in a daze from what just occurred, the referee rushes forward, his eyes wide with shock, and he grabs my hand, declaring me the winner.
"Once again, Crown Prince Jake of the vampire race emerges victorious!! This time, the way Zeno was defeated is nothing short of astonishing and unprecedented!" The announcer enthusiastically declares me the winner, amplifying the already buzzing excitement of the crowd.
A lively chatter sweeps across the field as everyone discusses the incredible spectacle they\'ve just witnessed. It\'s an electrifying atmosphere, and I can\'t help but feel a rush of adrenaline coursing through me.
"We\'re going to take a short break before the third round begins! This is the round where the Celestial Monkey Emperor, the mightiest celestial monkey, will face off against the Crown Prince of the vampire race!" The announcer\'s voice booms through the arena, taking me by surprise.
It makes sense to have a brief break before challenging the emperor directly. Instantly engaging in a battle with him after my previous fight would indeed seem a bit unfair.
The next moment, I gather enough energy in my legs and leap into the sky, gracefully maneuvering through the air before slowly descending to where Arthur and Stella are seated.
BAM!
With a soft thud, I land directly in front of Stella, taking a seat beside her.
"Waaaah!! Good job, Master!" Stella congratulates me, her excitement evident as she gives me a small hug.
"Haha, it was nothing, Stella," I respond with a modest shrug.
"I never expected Zeno to be defeated in such a way," Commander Lolan speaks up, initiating a conversation.
I raise my head to meet his gaze, noticing the anticipation in his eyes as he rubs his hands together.
"She\'s strong, but not as strong as I thought. I see potential in someone else," I reply to Commander Lolan.
"And who might that be?" Commander Lolan inquires with curiosity.
Before I can answer, Stella suddenly interjects, her eyes wide with concern. "Master! I haven\'t seen Gogo!"
"Ah... I remember the guards took him to eat," Commander Lolan replies on my behalf.
Taking a deep breath, I close my eyes and begin focusing on recovering my aura and Ki. Given the surprises of the previous battle, I focus more on my vampire aura, as it has proven more effective against these powerful opponents. Ki, it seems, would not be sufficient in this situation, especially with Zeno\'s fifth stage having caught me off-guard.
An hour passes, and I\'ve managed to restore a significant portion of my vampire aura. I open my eyes abruptly, finding Stella, Arthur, and Commander Lolan staring at me with anticipation in their expressions.
"Are you okay?" Stella asks with concern, followed by a similar inquiry from Arthur.
"Yeah, I\'m okay. I just need to feed," I reply honestly.
"Feed?" Stella asks, her eyes blinking in confusion.
"Yes, I want to drink blood..." I announce, feeling an irresistible urge that I can\'t explain.
The sound of Commander Lolan swallowing audibly can be heard due to my words, but I pay little attention to his reaction. My gaze remains locked on Stella.
"Waaaaahhh! My blood!" Stella exclaims dramatically, her eyes welling up with fake tears, creating a rather adorable scene.
"Well, I only need a small amount... Besides, you\'ve been eating a lot lately," I reply with a mischievous smirk as I wave my hand, conjuring a swirling smoke of blood aura that envelops both me and Stella, rendering us invisible. This technique, known as the "blood fog," is a common tactic employed by vampires for hunting prey in the past.
Without further ado, I latch onto Stella\'s neck after she agrees, my fangs slowly piercing her skin.
Due to the unique effects of a vampire\'s mouth enzymes, which induce a burst of pleasure in the prey while they\'re being fed upon, Stella\'s eyes roll in ecstasy, and soft moans escape her lips as I drink her blood.
Her blood tastes somewhat peculiar, I must admit. It carries a hint of sourness but remains strangely fresh. It\'s not the finest blood I\'ve tasted, not in comparison to that of humans or dragons. Nevertheless, I can\'t help but wonder what celestial monkey blood would be like.
Pushing those thoughts aside, I retract my fangs after consuming about a pint of Stella\'s blood, eliciting a quiet gasp from her. Simultaneously, the crimson fog vanishes as if it had never existed.
"Wait, I have a question to ask you!" Commander Lolan suddenly interjects, his voice filled with curiosity.
"Let me guess, you want to know if I can drink celestial monkey blood, right?" I respond, raising an eyebrow in suspicion.
"Ah... That\'s what I was going to ask," Commander Lolan replies, rubbing his hands together for some reason.
"Judging from the way you guys smell, celestial monkey blood would undoubtedly taste good. Because of this, I\'ll make an offer to the emperor. If I defeat him, I get his bloo-"
"Dear audiences! The third bout is about to begin! The most anticipated match in history! His Majesty, Sir Paprius, vs. Prince Jake of the Vampire race!!" The announcer\'s voice suddenly roars through the arena, causing me to raise my head in surprise. The emperor is already standing within the battle arena.
"He seems quite excited about this match. I\'ve never seen the emperor smile before," Commander Lolan remarks, his hand resting on his chin as he observes the emperor\'s demeanor.
Taking notice of the emperor\'s eagerness, I waste no time. I leap down from my position, and as I descend, two large wings unfurl from my back, casting a powerful and intimidating shadow over the arena.
