THE NEW MASTER'S SLAYER
ZARYA'S POV
"Son of the Great Beta, you go first." He pointed at Khal and then to the person next to him. "The goal is to knock out the opponent. Again, the sturdy will go to the next level and the weak will be eliminated."
"This is not good." Matilda gazed at him with agony. "The appoint opponent came from House of Skull, he's Ryder… the Master's Slayer."
It felt like my whole world stopped while I watched my brother walking in the middle of the circling crowd. I breathed in and out as the fear started to crawl all over my body. I trusted Khal, but to his match in the battle. None. He should have a lot of strategies and techniques, so at least he had a chance of defeating him. Bare bodies would be using that meaning punching, kicking, and other movements.
Khal has no knowledge of fighting.
I felt someone had placed it next to me, Deni Zin. "This is cool. You'll watch your brother die."
I giggled at her, but I managed not to show it. "Watch closer."
"Great deal. I wish we'll be fighting each other." She crossed her arms while the smirk was visible on her lips.
"You'll regret wishing that." My voice was thick and robust. I would not let this woman win this argument. She would see me some of these days, cracking her bones in the throat.
Our attention was caught by the stand of two men in the middle. Khal seemed a little nervous, it could see the way he looked at the enemy. Ryder had a grin on his lips as the pierce in the corner of his lower lips could be seen. He had also pierced the right side nose. His tribal tattoos were making him creep out everyone looking at him.
"The goal is to defend yourself against the enemy. Blood by blood. Power by power. Body by body. Life by life. The Battle Of The Next Beta… Level 2 begins!" Seo Blood Drop lifted his elemental sword, the representation of the levels.
I gasped for air when Khal started to move to the other side, traveling to the curve direction while his eyes never removed from his opponent.
"You're dead," Ryder smirked, the assurance was written on his face.
Khal seemed bothered. His knee was trembling as his fists were closed. Even though my brother's body was big, he had a little chance of bringing him down.
Just fight, my beloved brother. Fight for us. For the title that we are aiming to achieve.
The war between them began. Ryderattacked him. One strong punch in Khal's face made him move backward, but he did not let himself drop to the ground.
Good job. Don't let him knock you out, or else that is the end.
Ryder raised his fist and flew another punch on his face, supposedly landing on his face, but Khal was fast moved down and gave him a brave punch on the belly, even though he looked so pressured. He was still standing brave. I chinned up as my jaw clenched.
Ryder was so mad. They had points in hitting each other. Because of Khal's surprising punch in him, he became more aggressive. He ran quickly and uppercut Khal. He tried to avoid his attack, but it was too late, resulting in Khal dropping on the soil.
"He's so weak. Laughing at him is satisfaction." Deni Zin shook her head in happiness. I managed to ignore her while I was watching my brother.
Khal forced himself to stand up. His lips were broken and he had lost one tooth. Even though, difficulties prohibited him to move; he remained standing up with pride. I shut my eyes when another wave of kicks hit his face and then Ryder rode his chest and he did a punch after punch in Khal's face.
My world was slowly turning black. My chest was too dark to feel. Blood after blood was let out from his wounds. His face was full of laceration, cracked jaw and mouth were stained with red.
"Kill him, Master's Slayer!"
"Kill!"
"Slay the Son Of The Great Beta!"
"Don't let him escape!"
"End the Great Beta's blood!"
The shouting of the crowd echoed in my ears. This was the reason why most of the people here were fighting against us because they all wanted the title of my father. I and Khal were a threat to them.
"Khal…" Matilda was getting emotional. She moved her head down as she prevented herself to observe him dying.
I was about to come in front when Matilda held my lower arm. "Do you wanna die?"
"I will die… with my brother." My eyes sharpened. I could not stand here watching him bleeding.
"There's no challenge for me if you die now." Deni Zin raised her right eyebrow.
"I will die, but… not this time." I gave her a glaring fire by staring at her triggered expression.
I was about to walk to help Khal when Matilda held my hand. "He's a fighter. Your father's blood is running to him."
My mouth was barely opened when my attention came to Khal again. He was now standing. I did not know how that happened. His eyes were pure of courage. The signs of a dead man were on his expression. He gestured to Ryder to come using his forefinger, wiggling it. Ryder smirked when he traveled the distance between them. When he was near, Khal moved to his side and beat the back of his knee, resulting in him to kneel down and when he was successful. He cupped his cheek from the back and twisted his neck while looking at me.
My mouth was apart as I saw my father in the depths of his eyes. I was more than surprised by what he did. At the same time, I was so proud.
The silence filled the area. The shock was written on their faces. They could not believe that Khal finished the Master's Slayer by just twisting his neck.
Slowly, a smile was forming on my lips. My stare was settled on Khal who was now in the middle of shock, could not believe how he murder the Master's Slayer is just a simple gesture.
"Did I win?" He mouthed, questioning me. I just nodded with a little chuckle.
Seo Blood Drop marched towards him. He held Khal's hand and lifted it up. "The Son Of The Great Beta the new Master's Slayer… Khal Gasper Wixx!"
I closed my fist in so much proud of him. My eyes were teary, but I did not let the tears slide down my face. His success was soothing my heart.
"Woah!" They all raised their hands, screaming their praise to him.
"The New Master's Slayer!" They shouted as loud as they could. Khal's eyes were on me, had a small smile. Even though his face was ruined by Ryder's punches, he still did better in level 2.
My body froze when Matilda ran towards him and hugged him so tight. Khal was so awkward. Seems like they have something or what?
Seo Blood Drop tilted his head. "Be ready… Daughter of the Great Beta. You are next."
