? Prince Vol 2 Chapter 1 (1/2)
Chapter 1: Tournain – translated by Kat
Wearing the Blood Tiara that the teaiven me, my heart was overwhelmed with eether, a legend that belongs to us I closed radually reopened them With self-confidence and deterave the rest of Odd Squad a s our legend, the first step onto the stage where ould perform, the first step into…the tournament arena
Within the arena, the announcer loudly introduced himself “hello everyone, I’in by introducing the two tea out from the west entrance is the Perfect Princess Teae of the elf race Their five other members are a beastman warrior, a huel priest”
I walked over to stand at the very front of our squad Judging by the thunderous cheers filling the stadium, it seemed that our opponents had already stepped out into the arena Don’t tell me that the Perfect Princess Team is that fa as I’ve never even heard of them It doesn’t matter anyway, since Odd Squad will definitely defeat thehout the whole of ‘Second Life’!
Mic in hand, the tournament’s commentator loudly introduced the next tea in from the east entrance is Odd Squad! Odd Squad has an extre of an elf warrior, an elf thief, a beaste!”
Murh the crowd immediately “What a weird team!”, “Extreme Squad?1 What a weird name!”, and other similar comments could clearly be heard
“If this team isn’t the lousiest team around, then they’ll have to be one of the best…” Perfect Princess Teael priest, muttered quietly to himself
“It doesn’t uys will obtain victory forbeauty, Perfect Princess, asked sweetly as she addressed her tea her suitors! The five guys immediately nodded fervently
Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, I slowly stepped into the tournament arena As usual, wherever I went I was met with a stunned silence My looks usually possessed a lot of devastating power, but now, coupled with a tiara that could only greatly increase my attractiveness, that destructive power inored the crowd’s stares (Sigh, after being stared at for so long, I’ve already become accustomed to it…) and instead looked directly at our opponents for today: the Perfect Princess Team
Initially, I’d thought that this teairls To uys! In h she’s bringing her own Inner Court2 to participate in this tournaon’s I’ to be envious about!
Setting my envy aside, the other five team members and I each took our places and struck the pose that Lolidragon had spent three days teaching us I obediently followed her instructions – I was to drop the attitude of an elegant Prince and insteadbattle That e could underh, personally, I felt that guys would only be infuriated bytheir battle spirits to blaze even more fiercely
“How can someone be this handsome…?” Perfect Princess stared at lared attheir desire to skin me, rip the flesh off my bones for meat, and then boil my bones to make a stock for soup
“Prince, Lolidragon, the other tea the battle would be nothing but a disadvantage to us I have a plan though, so listen up…” Wolf-dàgē then proceeded to meticulously explain his plan to us
After Wolf-dàgē finished giving us our instructions, our squad strode forward, bri with confidence There was even a faintly sadistic sht it to on, the nickname “Blood Elf” must have been all because of you…) I looked at the Perfect Princess Teain?”
The huge beastave his enors Unfortunately for hiē by a couple of hand spans, plus he lacked the intiē possessed The human warrior walked up toward us and replied coldly, “No problein then!”
The referee standing on one side saw that ere prepared and, with a wave of his flag, the battle commenced
Nor buffs and bolstering their teammates’ defense Only after this was done would the coainst this nored forward the e announced the start of the battle Before the enemy team’s warriors could even react, I had already darted past the the two archers… Next, with a swift rabbed Meatbun and used th
“Meatbun, Double Kill” Meatbun iure out as going on, and began s back and forth between them like a ball in a pinball machine
Given that archers tended to have low HP, this attack was h to keep them both occupied With my Black Dao in hand, I rushed towards the huher than the elf archer’sReaching hion Whirlwind Strike!”3
I liftedparallel to the earth, my Black Dao cleanly stabbed into the huility-oriented archer unable to dodge in tion Whirlwind Strike could severely injure ene air pressure alone, even if it didn’t land a direct hit The unlucky hu attack The round, I executed a reverse sweep ofback to the rebirth point to contemplate his mistakes in his “past” life
While everyone’s eyes were glued on h that her every action see since crept up behind the elf archer with a dagger in each hand Now she pressed one of thee slash across his throat It would have been a fatal blow if not for the fact that Lolidragon’s strength was too low and thus was unable to directly kill the elf archer
Just when it see priest – who had started to chant a healing spell – would be able to heal the archer, Lolidragon’s lips curled into a cruel ser in her other hand was already placed against the elf’s back, pointing directly at his heart Now she gave a vicious stab and the priest could only watch helplessly as the archer died
At this point in ti kept busy by Doll’s super scary hell’s Inferno Arility had been lowered by Gui’s Sheng-ge Entranceh to KO the the rest of their team!
Perfect Princess, who’d been busy ad rong and immediately cast a spell to destroy one of Doll’s skeletons However, Lolidragon and I had already finished off the two archers by this ti support for Doll’s skeletons Lolidragon, on the other hand, e japan’s ninjutsu: Burrowing (This technique had not come easy to anyone, because whenever she failed, the entire squad had to organize an excavation, in order to dig Lolidragon out fro it, she stealthily snuck up behind the e, Perfect Princess…
“Princess, be careful!” The priest hurriedly shoved Perfect Princess – as about to have her throat slit by Lolidragon – to one side
As for Lolidragon, she sied her target Two fatally dangerous daggers flashed through the air as she slashed at the priest His face quickly paled as he tried his best to replenish his health even as he yelled for the warriors to come over and help
Warriors? I scoffed; the supposedly nimble human could barely land a hit on oal seerily at the priest, yelling at hi their health It’d be a shock if they could find the tio and save their teammates!
In fact, the reatest threat to our plan – died, the opposing teaht, the corners ofwarriors into thinking that I was about to use that ain I smiled coldly and used… ten continuous strikes to finish off the huon Whirlwind Strike can be used soit that often will leave me dizzy, okay?
In this fashi+on, Lolidragon and Gui kept the priest and thebeastman warrior a free ride back to the rebirth point Moments later, the priest was dead as well
The six of us converged upon the e, Perfect Princess, who had backed away into a corner Walking at the head of the group, I smiled coldly at her and asked, “Surrender?”
Perfect Princess lifted her head slowly As she looked at my face, the fear written all over her face melted away and was replaced by a coquettish expression, and she even dared to sweet-talk me “Surrender, I surrender! Since I lost to you, I’ll be your girlfriend, okay?”
I gazed icily at this girl, whose beauty lost to Lolidragon, as not as cute as Doll, as not as elegant as Yu Lian-dàsăo, and felt extremely put offAnd she has the audacity to plaster herself all overa whiff of her disgustingly over-powering perfuuy doesn’t mean I need to be like one and appreciate feminine beauty, do I?!
I slowly raised h the body of the wo prettier than the fe five soeryou!
I watched with satisfaction as Perfect Princess fleith a look of resenthtly a few ti blood on it, but suddenly I realized that the entire arena was silent and everyone was staring at me with an odd look in their eyes
“Lolidragon, is so?” My countenance reon with some trepidation
“…It’s probably because you were covered in blood and s as you stabbed a beautiful wo away the blood It’s just too handsome, too cool, and too bloody! That’s why everyone is stunned!” Lolidragon said with a helpless shrug
I just got slightly carried aithmisunderstood
“Odd Squad, victory,” the judge, who had finally snapped out of his shocked stupor, announced belatedly
Elacial look in my eyes as my sword rose and fell As I cut down the last ene to cheer However, I turned and scrutinized the entire audience with emotionless, icy eyes, until the last person fell silent It was only when I was satisfied that I smiled an evil, bloodthirsty se declared our victory
Why had I beco party to this I had no idea when it began, but recently, the area outside the stadium would always be packed with my fans after each ued onlybehindthe arena My fans, ere standing outside the stadiuet to me After that incident, the matter became a squad-wide issue
After that, Lolidragon cay With five votes to one, I was forced into the terrifying role of a ree those fans froy was an unexpected success, for while er dared to even come within ten meters of me… After all, I was the one who had mercilessly cut down the beautiful Perfect Princess, so anyone who had eyes could see that I did not knohat the words “feminine” and “charm” meant
Taking the point guard, I walked at the very front of the squad (no one dares to walk ahead of me anymore…) with an impassive look on my face My left hand rested on the hilt of h I was ready to kill someone at awas, Sigh, I’ry! Why haven’t we reached the restaurant yet?
“Prince!” a delighted voice cried out from not too far away
Who was it? I furrowed irl who dares to call lanced around The surrounding girls were all silently gloating, thinking, Who is the suicidal person who actually dares to call Prince by his name?
“Prince? What’s wrong?” Upon aze, Rose revealed a startled expression, tears nearly leaking from the corners of her eyes
Rose? Seeing that fa time since I last saw her
“It’s been a while, Rose, and everyone in the Rose Teaave theolas, For Healing Only, and Broken Sword, whom I’d only met briefly previously
“Prince, it’s not good to stay standing here for too long You can catch up with thehow soht, if we stay here any longer, the lives of Odd Squad and Rose Teaht all be at stake…
“Why don’t we have a ether? Rose, let’s meet up at the usual restaurant—andto feel the threat fros, and so I hurriedly PMed Rose… and fled!
The moment we reached the restaurant and secured a booth on the second floor I dropped , “I’m really sorry about just now, Rose About what happened outside – treating you so coldly just now, I didn’t mean itActually…”
I proceeded to explain the entire situation to the Rose Teaain, the next tiood friends
“Hahaha! To think that being too handsohter – atthe entire story
“It’s not like I asked for this…” I ave h
Apart fro low all this while, the rest of the party were all chatting happily Broken Sword and I were particularly lively, since we’d been getting along very well He told le one of Odd Squad’s matches and was really interested in the unusual and even bizarre techniques I had executed Apparently, he too often tried out the moves that he’d come across in wuxia novels It seems like I’m not the only weird person around here after all! Thus, the two of us found ourselves chatting enthusiastically about on Whirlwind Strike and his Taichi Strike and Nine Swords of Du Gu4
“Prince, Lolidragon, about what happened the previous tiuilty about it…” Rose trailed off and glanced worriedly at Fairsky, who had held her head low and kept silent the entire time
“Oh, that I’ve forgotten about that—it was such a long tio Don’t fret over it, Fairsky,” I said and turned to look at Lolidragon, “You don’t blaon?”
“Huh? What happened the previous tion’s face was covered in confusion (Your memory really sucks… sweat)
“In any case, Lolidragon and I have already put that incident behind us!” I said, but saw Fairsky’s shoulders had suddenly begun tre this time?!
“I’ in , Sigh! Having a sister feels pretty good A sister would definitely be way cuter than that idiotic brother ofcleared round X of the tourna the only successor of the Feng fa knife and turned him into a charsiew bun!5
“It’s okay, you’re a good girl, don’t cry…” I said in a gentle voice, trying to console Fairsky
Fairsky hiccupped, lifted her face, and looked at aze “May I ask you a question?”
“… Sure!” Why do I suddenly have a bad feeling about this? Noticing that re on the sidelines as though they aiting for the show to begin,intensified
