Chapter 69: Chapter 69
Raven-coloured aura burst out from Eru’s body, surrounding him, making his demeanour more powerful. “I call this technique the Eruken”, Eru said, his lips slightly curved upwards. “You know what to do, Buddy”, Eru talked to the black sword in his hand. Buddy replied by vibrating inside of Eru’s grip. The latter nodded, “Right, let’s do this!” Eru dashed forward with the black sword in his right hand; Eru struck Lana Valentine in the stomach with the pommel of his sword. Then, Eru swiftly locked Lana Valentine’s sword arm before disarming her.
The bloody red katana dropped to the ground before being kicked by Eru to the side. However, Lana Valentine’s berserk state wasn’t lifted as her eyes were still red with rage. After kicking Lana Valentine’s bloody red katana away, Eru used his fist to hit her in the stomach then blasted her away with his aura. Then, Eru threw Buddy, the black sword, near the bloody red katana. Eru cracked his knuckles, “Wait for me, Buddy, I’ll knock some sense out of her”, he said.
The berserk pink-haired lady screamed; her deafening voice resounded through the whole arena. Eru did not care, though. He zoomed across the arena, appearing right in front of the berserk pink-haired lady in an instant. Lana Valentine unleashed her pink-now-red aura, trying to blast Eru away. Eru countered it by using his own aura to block Lana Valentine’s blast. Although Lana Valentine’s aura was more potent and powerful than Eru, the latter had some trick on his sleeve.
Using the Eruken, Eru’s aura became denser than it normally would, and because of that, Eru was able to withstand Lana Valentine violent burst of aura. Another effect of Eruken was that Eru’s power was amplified by the double. So, now, Eru’s power was equal to that of a 4th Grade Aura Master, the same as Lana Valentine. “Sleep for me, will ya,” Eru said while pummeling Lana Valentine with his foot and fist. Lana Valentine was unable to retaliate because her consciousness and awareness were almost entirely gone at the moment.
“You know…. You are much harder to handle just a minute ago”, Eru taunted with a mocking grin while continuing to parry, dodge and strike Lana Valentine with his fists. The now berserk pink-haired lady roared in frustration; she instinctively tried to escape her situation, but without a working brain, it was impossible for her to escape Eru’s barrage of attacks. Finally, Eru stepped inside of the now berserk pink-haired lady’s space, his fist clenched tight before he threw an uppercut towards Lana Valentine’s jaw. Her body got launched upward, but Eru didn’t allow the now berserk pink-haired lady’s body to fly out. Instead, Eru grabbed Lana Valentine by her feet before slamming her down to the ground. “Go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep”, Eru slammed the now berserk pink-haired lady to the ground every time he spoke.
However, the now berserk pink-haired lady was very resilient. No matter how many times Eru slammed her to the ground, Lana Valentine just refused to pass out. “Just sleep already”, Eru said; he threw Lana Valentine right to the colosseum arena’s wall. Lana Valentine jumped out of the rubbles with a body full of wounds. If one were to witness the state that Lana Valentine’s now, they would feel terrified. A bloodied up pink-haired lady with unkempt hair and glowing red eyes would make one fear deep in their hearts. Coupled with her scream, Lana Valentine completely looked like an oni right now.
Eru clicked his tongue; he felt his body was starting to break down, “Damn it! I can’t seem to hold on much longer. That’s what I get for using an incomplete technique”, Eru said to himself. He smiled wryly, “Do I have no choice but to do this?” Eru asked himself in reluctance. He raised his head, watching the black dome surrounding the colosseum arena. Eru sighed; he watched the now berserk pink-haired lady roar, and coming after him, Eru made up his mind, “Damn it, lady. Once you wised up, you better reimbursed me properly” Eru then pressed two pressure points on his shoulders, “Dragon Force Technique!” Eru yelled out, a massive amount of energy surged out from Eru’s body. The man in a fancy suit frowned, “What the hell is this guy!” he said in bewilderment. Eru’s aura shot up to the sky, breaking through the subspace created by the man in a fancy suit.
Eru prowess from using Eruken has doubled again, showing a power comparable to an 8th Grade Aura Master. As Eru prowess grew, his appearance changed also. His moderate length black hair was slicked back, and two dragon horns sprouted on the side of his head. The two dragon horns curled upwards, and scales were starting to appear alongside Eru’s skin while his two pupils slit, his eyes now resembling a dragon’s eyes. A pair of raven-coloured wings burst out from Eru’s back, making his appearance akin to that of a dragon. The man in a fancy suit gasped, “Dragon’s Rage? He’s a half-dragon?” the man in a fancy suit speculated in his mind.
Although it seemed a lot, Eru’s transformation happened in brief seconds. After that, Eru instantly appeared in front of the now berserk pink-haired lady. “Now, go to sleep obediently”, Eru said. Then, he held Lana Valentine by her neck, choking the life out of her. The latter struggled to break free; however, the strength and prowess of the transformed Eru were too much for her. The now berserk pink-haired lady tried everything she could. She punched and kicked the transformed Eru, but the latter did not budge. Lana Valentine kept struggling until, eventually, her strength left her body before passing out.
When Eru saw that the pink-haired lady aura died down and her eyes returned to normal, Eru let go, dropping Lana Valentine to the ground. Immediately after, Eru pressed the pressure points on his shoulders, breaking the Dragon Force Technique. “Phew”, Eru wiped the sweat on his face. Then, his entire body felt sluggish but not paralyzed like when he used the Dragon Force Technique inside the Trials Ground. “Thankfully, that shady old man taught me the way of lessening the burden of the Dragon Force Technique, or else I’ll be paralyzed”, Eru said in his head.
Eru looked above him. He found that the black dome that surrounded the colosseum arena had disappeared. He also saw that the audience on the crowd stands had all been evacuated. Then, the man in a fancy suit suddenly appeared right in front of Eru. The former crouched down; he checked in on Lana Valentine’s pulse. He breathed a sigh of relief as the man in a fancy suit still felt Lana Valentine’s pulse. After checking the pink-haired lady pulse, the man in a fancy suit waved his hand. The red katana and the black sword flew towards the direction of the man in a fancy suit’s hand.
Eru’s eyes squinted; he raised his hand as he called out to the black sword with his mind. The black sword disappeared from the air and immediately appeared inside of Eru’s grip. The man in a fancy suit grabbed the red katana while looking at Eru intensely. Eru raised his eyebrow, “What are you trying to do?” he asked the man in a fancy suit warily. The man in a fancy suit shook his head, “Nothing. Please go back to the waiting room. Me and my staff will take care of this”, he said before disappearing with the pink-haired lady. Eru shook his head; he sighed before talking to Buddy, “What am I gotten myself into….” Eru asked to himself while scratching the back of his head.

Let us rewind time for a bit. A few minutes earlier, the young man with a ponytail alongside the white-haired man was chilling inside the latter office. They conversed like they always do, but suddenly, they felt a terrifying aura coming from upstairs. “You felt that pops?” the young man with a ponytail, Rex, immediately stood up. The white-haired man’s expression was sombre, “Yes, I felt that”, he said while nodding. “Do you want to check it out?” Rex asked while looking outside the window. The white-haired man strokes his beard, “Aren’t Phantasma up there?” Rex clicked his tongue, “Yeah, but we should check it out just to be safe.” The white-haired man pondered for a while, “Sure, let’s go”, he nodded.
Then, both the white-haired man and Rex went quickly into the colosseum upstairs. On the way, they saw many people looking with worried expressions towards the colosseum. Once both the white-haired man and Rex arrived at the colosseum, they saw many staff were scrambling. Rex, the man with a ponytail, stopped one of them by the shoulder, “What happened here?” The staff was about to flip out, but when he saw Rex’s uniform, he calmed down, “A dangerous situation occurred in the arena, sir”, the staff said with respect.
“What!? What happened?”
The staff shook his head, “We don’t know, sir. One minute they fought, and the other minute a terrifying aura emerged from one of the contestants.” Rex frowned, “Do you know who fought?” The staff nodded, but before he was about to answer, a blond-haired woman interrupted him, “You go ahead and do your job. I’ll handle this”, said the blond-haired lady. “Chloe. What happened?” Rex asked. Chloe shook her head, “Not here. Come, follow me.”
