Chapter 229
Charlotte.
Velvet came at me fast and unpredictable.
Her movements were so unreadable that sometimes I would expect her to punch me only for it to be a feint and she ends up kicking me instead. The power behind her blows also made it difficult to block her attacks, so it was best to match her blow for blow. As she punched me, I punched her, as she kicked me, I kicked back, my movements were quick enough for my attacks to land before she could counter.
It was beginning to feel like a stalemate. Both sides were giving an inch.
Even with my flame control, Velvet took blows while still having her classic grin on her face.
"That's it Charlotte! Keep on coming!" She threw her fist back and then punched me in the gut. I was sent flying and I would have lost the battle if I hadn't created a huge fireball to stand on.
"No fair! Get down here!" Velvet shouted.
"Sorry!" I said before jumping down onto the platform again.
I guess that wasn't against the roles because Dakota didn't even mention it.
Or maybe they just wanted this battle to go on for a little while longer. I decided it was best to fight her both at a short distance and from a long distance.
Thus I created two fire clones to stand by the edges of the platform and periodically shoot fireballs at her while I would attack her face to face. This method was showing some signs of working as Velvet was starting to sweat from getting pressured so far.
"Not bad," Velvet said while turning towards me, her whole body began to glow. "As much as I hate to rely on magic, I developed this specifically to deal with pesky magic users,"
My flames now did less damage than they used to her now.
"Magic skin!" This protects me from your magical attacks so you're going to need more than that to take me down now!" Velvet said and rushed at me.
Honestly even with my advantage being taken away from me, I still felt happy with this battle, it was so excited, my blood was pumping at full speed and then a surge of energy emerges from within me The entire platform lit on fire and Velvetwas sent backwards, the flames vanished and I was in my human form again, however the same tattoos that were on my wolf form were now on my human body around my arms and my face, they felt hot but they didn't really hurt me, honestly instead they seemed to empower me. I rushed at Velvet and clashed again, it felt good hitting her with my full power even though she blocked the attack.
But still this sort of battle was the best, not for survival or to kill your opponent, this was a battle for fun, and that's just what I needed now. Both of us backed off each other and started to pour the rest of our magic into our fists.
My entire right hand was engulfed in crimson flames. "Mystical fire: Vermilion Wolf claw!" I shouted and rushed at Velvet.
She engulfed her left hand in blue and purple sparkling energy, "Ultimate magic fist!" She shouted and charged at me again.
"This is it! Charlotte!" Velvet shouted my name and tried to punch me while grinning.
"It's been fun! Velvet!" I yelled and tried to punch her as well.
Our fists collided and a huge shockwave of red, blue and purple energy sparked out. It was a brilliant display but ultimately my flames overwhelmed Velvet and sent her flying over the platform and straight into the outside of the arena. I fell on the platform, but my entire body was exhausted so I couldn't even move. But then Iris and Hunter came to my side and helped me up.
"Amazing, dramatic finish! Charlotte has won the first ever Southern werewolf tournament, give her a round of applause," Dakota shouted and everyone clapped for me, even Holly.
"Great job Charlotte, with that strength, I know you'll make an amazing Queen one day," Queen Rene said smiling.
"Look at that, two years ago who would have imagined an Omega like you winning such an event huh?" Iris said smiling, she looked so proud.
"It's been an honor meeting you Charlotte, you're an amazing she-wolf, you deserve this win," Hunter said to me and my cheeks flushed like roses.
I didn't even know when tears started to fall from my eyes. It was amazing how this could happen. Years ago I was a weak and sickly omega werewolf, and now I was the winner of such an esteemed tournament. I just couldn't believe it. I wish someone would pinch me.
The ceremony went on without any issues.
The Femino pack was first, the Ruby claw pack was second and the blood moon pack was third. Strange enough Eric's team performed the worst despite being the host, however, Eric didn't scold them, he just laughed alongside them of how ridiculous it was.
Velvet took her loss to me a lot better than I thought she would. "Charlotte, you may have won this time, but our rivalry is far from over!" She said, smiling widely.
Hunter, who was next to me, confronted Velvet and said, "About that time... I do know you... You're my mother, or you were my mother, you were killed by the Krent pack when they attacked our village.
I knew it took a lot out of him to say that but Velvet just smiled. "That explains a lot, my hatred for the Krent pack and all, thank you... I feel somewhat complete now, let's take down the Krent pack together soon!" She shouted it and it made Hunter cringe.
"Don't call me, it's so weird coming from a sixteen year old," Hunter said, rubbing the back of his head.
"Well it's true, you are my boy aren't you Henry?! Come here!" Velvet caught Hunter in a headlock and proceeded to kiss his forehead. This made everyone laugh and honestly, this peace and harmony we were enjoying right now, I wish it could last forever, but I knew sooner or later, war would start.
