Chapter 1075 - A Crossover? (1/2)

After leaving Leo to head into the coliseum, Erin had left feeling a little disheartened in a way. She had wished to also perhaps participate in the event. She was sure it would have been an experience she could learn from.

She also felt like kicking herself after saying what she had done in front of her teacher and mentor, Leo.

'He's right, where did I even get that confidence from? It's okay to be confident in oneself, but I have to know there are plenty of people out there stronger than me, and not just my enemies, either.'

The one who came to mind was Quinn, whenever she had an image of catching up to someone, it wasn't her teacher, Leo, but Quinn instead. She had seen him improve beyond belief. Although she knew Leo's strength, it was hard to relate because, in her eyes, Leo had always been strong.

As for Quinn, she had seen him grow in leaps and bounds, and at one point she could defeat him with a single hand.

While walking around, she spotted a digital scrolling advert on top of what looked to be an entertainment establishment. It was hard for her to figure out, but she could hear people laughing inside, and the words written on the very top were tavern.

It was strange seeing a mix of new and old in a city like that, but the digital advert was what had caught her eye as it informed her that she could watch the battle of the beasts inside. Entering the place, the smell of alcohol had hit her nose, and it was more s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e than usual.

As alcohol was one of the few things that vampires still could taste, not that she had this problem anyway, but some things seemed to still affect her differently. The place was pretty busy and pretty dark inside. All the tables and chairs were facing towards the back where a large Digital screen was showing the battle of the beasts and that's when she saw Leo enter the arena with Ovin and his opponent.

His opponent looked like a decent Traveler with good gear at the advanced level, and the beast was one that walked on all fours with a body similar to that of a crocodile, however, its head looked like a giant plant with giant razor-sharp teeth.

Even as it was being brought out, the beast kept hammering it's jaws shut, smashing its teeth and with each one, a loud clang was heard. It made Erin wonder if they were adding sound effects to the video to make the beast look more menacing or if that was really the case.

As for Leo, he stood there with his beast gear on, hiding some of the more higher-tier parts under a black robe that would swirl around, in particular, his c.h.e.s.t piece. Still, those with a keen eye would be able to notice that the level of his other equipment was at the emperor-tier level at the moment.

However, what caught everyone's attention, of course, was the black cat that seemed to waddle as it took steps forward in front of him.

”Is that a beast! I've never seen one that looks like that!” The viewers started to communicate.

”Didn't they say that only advanced beasts and up that were tamed could enter? Does that mean its an advanced beast cat.”

”The only thing advanced about that cat is it's belly. I haven't seen one as fat as that.”

”Perhaps, Sir Connel put them in as a joke, he does like doing things like that.:”

”That would seem far too cruel, he would be eaten in minutes by that Cruncher. I'm afraid seeing a cat get crunched up might not be as pleasant as a strong battle.”

While in the middle of her thoughts she felt someone approaching her from behind, and she swiftly moved away. Looking back, she could see a hand mid-air moving from below.

”Oh, what a quick lady, I wonder how you were able to move so fast.” A man chucked, who stunk of booze.

The temper in Erin was rising, but with the amount of people in the tavern, she didn't want to cause a scene and cause more trouble. However, if she hadn't moved, that hand clearly would have been on her bottom.

”Come on don't be mad, with a bottom like that, it was practically made for squeezing!” The three men chuckled to each other.

Walking up to them, Erin was now underneath the man.

”Very well, you can touch me, but are you prepared for the dangers that you will face?” Erin said, still not looking the man directly in the eye.

Still, he seemed to ignore her words as he went forward again and attempted to latch onto her. But before he could, with the palm of her hand, she had struck his chin. He could feel his brain rattling against his skull, and a dizziness coming over him.

As he was about to fall, she grabbed him by his shirt as he hung there in place, then, turning him around, she kicked his back side so hard, his friends thought they heard his pelvis crack.
