Chapter 64：Start of the Competition (2/2)

However, like most of the audiences and gambling houses' expectation, only Fused Spirits managed to advance. Those names I saw in the top list of who will likely to win the competition.

When it's our turn, I walked among the other Natal Spirits who were already nervous about their chances. Walking along the path, I took in the details of this place.

With thick pillars as the foundation but on odd placements, the architecture of this world is still behind that of modern Earth, but yeah to build a dome like this, they're already getting there.

With a huge platform in the middle, fitting in more than 300 people was viable on it but with 100-odd participants for the 2nd group, we were in a considerable distance between each other.

This is a Battle Royale so everyone was wary of those close to them. I also acted nervous so as not to draw attention. I planned not to be overly eye-catching.

But the crowd of young girls sold me out. Pointing at me while going 'Kyaaa~', I already earned the animosity of not only those around me but also those who were envious that I got that kind of attention just because of my disguised appearance.

I looked around the audience seats and found those who I was looking for.

In the center was an elevated platform where there wete only a few seats with one throne-like seat in the middle. Sitting on it was a giant-like Spirit Race. There's really no need to guess who it is. Jayna's father.

On both of his sides were Jayna and a beautiful Spirit Race which resembled her, obviously her mother. That's probably how she will look in the future. Well, if she still has room to grow.

Next to Jayna was Yumiko, still in her shrine maiden outfit.

Yumiko and Jayna were looking at me with an amused expression on their faces.

They probably expected that reaction from the young girls who were still cheering for me.

After a while, the organizer, Jayna's father, raised his hand and uttered a word to start the 2nd round of the competition.

”Begin!”

With a thunderous voice that covered the whole coliseum, every Natal Spirits around me immediately willed their Spiritual Twin to materialize and attack me in concert.

What a way to start. I thought of pulling my punches back but these guys just had to focus on me all at once.

Materializing my Spiritual Twin, I used three Strands to use the exclusive skill of Natal Spirits, Potential Drawing, to give it 30% of my base stats.

It jumped out and threw a kick to blow away every Spiritual Twin lunging at me.

With that show of force, every Natal Spirit was dumbfounded as they thought I was already done in.

I looked around me and smiled. With just a thought, my Spiritual Twin moved and started eliminating all of those who attacked me. I didn't feel any tension from a battlefield, what can a little competition do? This Adaptability is really handy at this moment.

Kicking them out of the ring one by one, the other Natal Spirit opted to distance themselves from me while those Fused Spirit started to take notice.

Though they noticed me, they still thought they could eliminate me later on. They didn't know that my Spiritual Twin was just the appetizer, my main body was the main course.

Should I really show off? Is this fine?

Those 'Kyaa'-ing young girls even 'Kyaa'-ed louder after what I did. I guess being cheered on by someone was really energizing.

Since I'm in a disguise, let's go all out.

I'm going to do it for the sake of the 9000 coins I gambled!
