Chapter 67：The Invincible Natal Spirit (1/2)

”One Punch! He defeated Molark in one punch! Look how far he flew!”

One of the participants next to Trax made a remark. He's just a little stronger than Molark so seeing me defeating that guy in one punch got him shaken.

”Who's his next opponent?”

Trax looked back and asked.

One female Fused Spirit who I got the chance to encounter during the group stage, Namira, raised her hand while trembling a bit.

”M-me… I don't think I can beat him. I ran away from him during the group stage.”

She had just won her match before me and was in a jubilant mood but upon seeing what I did, all of that was forgotten.

”Err. Don't worry, Molark told me he'll give me a free hit. I didn't think he wouldn't raise his guard up. I'll apologize to him later.”

I tried to downplay what I did but that didn't have much of an effect

”Even if he did put his guard up, the result will be the same...”

Someone murmured in the crowd while the others except Trax nodded.

Well, if that's what they think then let them. That's better, they might even concede early on if I met them in the next matches.

The 7th and 8th matches were concluded with the expected winners without any upset.

From 16 we're now down to 8. After a 10 minute break, Trax took up the stage again and his opponent was someone whose name was around the top 10 on the list.

He struggled for a bit before finally kneeling on the ground, exhausted.

It didn't come as a surprise that he won again so the crowd didn't cheer that much but yeah, I think they're reserving their energies for my match.

Wait, if I became this famous, will I still be under the category of Unknown Natal Spirit?

Those gambling houses better not cheat me. I was clearly unknown before the competition, they wouldn't suddenly re-categorize me, right? Or maybe they will if they found out how much they will lose. If it comes to that, I'll use the power of connection. Jayna.

Those coins will be crucial for buying Yuko's and the three girls' gifts.

My match with Namira will be the 3rd one. I already saw her conditioning herself, at least she's not thinking of conceding.

When our gazes meet the previous dread she had was replaced with conviction. She's a Fused Spirit with 4 Streams of connection to the Spirit Ocean when she faced me during the group stage, she probably only used one. That sudden blazing of her weapon as it hit my Spiritual Twin, but it's too tough for her so she retreated back after not succeeding at damaging it.

This time, she'll probably go all out.

”Please, don't hold back on our match. I will also give it my all.”

After preparing on her corner, Namira approached me and said those words. She's at least better than that Molark. Ah. I couldn't also blame his attitude when he didn't experience my strength beforehand.

While waiting for our match, the ongoing match was on a heated deadlock with neither of the two giving in. They fought for at least 30 minutes before one of them fell down, exhausted by using too much Spirit Energy that he got too depleted.

Even if the other guy won, he'll probably concede defeat. He will fight Trax who's still in his best condition after all.

”It's our turn.”

I looked at Namira and she nodded.

I let her walk first while I followed behind her. As soon as we stepped on the stage, the cheers started to drown the whole coliseum.

”Really, you're the biggest upset here. Everyone thought it would be the stage for us Fused Spirits, maybe if I'm also at the audience stand, I will be like those girls.”
