Chapter 30- The Ruling Battle Part 1

"I'd like to welcome everyone who has decided to show up. First I'd like to annouce the rules that will apply, after hearing the rules you may decide if you still wish to fight or not." Rosia said into the Microphone, I asked her to be the main announcer since the anger I had was still overwhelming.

"There will be no use of weapons, magical abilities counts as weapons, if you have to resort to magical abilities they will be your weakest ability since some of our contendors have only strength. Each fight will last one minute in an attempt to get through everyone as quickly as we can. Once the fight has started, you may fight until one admits defeat or until you knock them out of the colloseum. Everyone will be starting at the bottom and this whole process will continue in a tournament style. If both parties remain after one minute it will be up to the God Zeus to decide who continues into the next round. I wish you all the best of luck!" The crowd roared after she finished speaking. Not as many vampires came as I thought they would. Some nymphs and even wolves came. A few witches came as well but it was all mostly vampires.

"Anyone who will be fighting today, please step into the designated fighting area!" She called again. I walked through the crowd and out into the sunlight, saw their was no empty seat. Some were even filled with two or three different kinds of creatures.

"Everyone has a number assigned to them before the rules were explained, I'll be calling the fighters by number!" I looked at the paper and saw my number was eighty-seven.

"Numbers ninety-four and six will be the first to fight!"

-

"Numbers Eighty-seven and forty-two will fight next." I stood up and tucked the paper into my pocket. I walked past the whispers until I was in the middle of the colosseum.

"In, three.. two.. fight!" I looked up and saw I was fighting a nymph. She was shaking from fear.

"I'm really sorry." I closed my eyes and bolted to her, not giving her a chance to react. She flew into the air upon impact. I jumped into the air and saw the damage I had caused. I grabbed onto her as we began descending. Her chest was completely caved in. Blood was pouring from her mouth and nose. As soon as we landed I placed my hand on her chest healing her from what I had done. She was unconscious but still alive.

"I think I win!" I yelled up to Rosia and Zeus.

"That was crazy! It's only been three seconds!"

"Since number forty-two is unable to fight any longer, number eighty-seven wins!" I gritted my teeth as I carried the nymph back to the entrance leaving her with the healing witches.

"Now, number one-sixty-five and number two-twelve will fight next!" I looked up to see Helios walking out. I walked past the crowd of fighters and watched as he waited for Rosia to call out. I was curious how he'd fight since magical abilities weren't allowed.

"Two.. Fight!" The vampire charged towards Helios. Even as his opponent was coming to him at full speed Helios didn't move a muscle. He looked up to the sky and sighed as the vampire council member tried to land a punch on Helios.

"How long will this take?" Helios stretched as the council members hand started burning.

"Is that a magical ability?!" Someone screamed from behind me.

"I'm Helios, god of the sun. It's not a magical ability. Anyone who touches me without being blessed first will burn to ashe upon impact. I have no control over it." He smirked looking up to Zeus.

"Will the judge allow that?" Whispers filled every space in the colosseum as the council member screamed in pain as the burn continued to deepen.

"Dammit Helios." I rolled my eyes and walked out healing the burn before he caught fire.
