Master Of None

Chapter 2111: 2111. Surprise Fighter

With so much happening in the city, by the time that Walker and Midnight ahd managed to get back to their walk, the night and ended up flailing on them sooner than they felt like it should. But that was just how it went with a busy day and so many people to see.

The night was very busy too though. With the increase in population, the increase in races, and the general expansion fo the city, Genesis was busy at all hours. Right this moment, the night life had started.

Whether it was a group of guards off duty for the day heading out to celebrate something, or people going to their jobs, the city was bright. There were many of the vampires still getting some tours from demons of other residents of the city. They were more comfortable in the night anyways.

Walker liked seeing this change since he was sure that he was going to be seeing a lot more of it. But he was also not surprised at all to see that many of the demi-humans were out and about as well.

Some swerve because of their traits. bat , owl, and other nocturnal traits would make the demi-humans want to be out during the night rather than the day. Since the city ahd developed enough, they were able to be outside at night much more easily.

Since there were entire groups of people out, the markets had also shifted. Some new people took over existing stalls, or others opened up entirely just for the night. Especially those that sold food.

The entirety of the food stalls at night had shocked Walker and midnight. Theta dh expected that the stalls often would be for things that were needed for night jobs. Or just basic food. Not the variety of street foods that they were seeing right now.

This prompted an exploration of the night city streets that Walker and Midnight had somehow managed to turn in to an eating contest. Not that it was a bad thing. He enjoyed understanding what they had for options to eat within the city. Especially since he could pass on the ideas he got to his mother who would surely put them to good use.

The jobs that Walker got caught up in witnessing thigh, were the ones that were related to the coliseum.

What Midnight and Walker found, were that many of the people passing out flyers were doing so because they were advertising the night and day battles at the coliseum. Especially those that happened at night since the tickets were a little more expensive due to the fact that the night battle were a lot more advanced.

This wasnʼt just because there were warriors of all kinds wishing to battle at night when the entire atmosphere was different. It was a chance for them to fight unique types of opponents that literally did not or even could not come out in the day. This would make a warrior that fights in them much better whether they won or lost.

That was why there were even small groups of guards within the coliseum areas. They might not be working, but if they fight here, they could win fame for themselves and their groups that they came from. Powerful men that have trained longer than many had.

”Feel like watching a few matches?” Walker couldnʼt say no when he saw that Midnight was becoming very interested. It would be a sleepless night, but that was well worth bonding with one of his little sisters.

Without even needing to see Midnight nodding to saying yes, Walker was headed toward the bright torch lit coliseum. The entire atmosphere was rough compared to the times that they had both been here.

This was due to the way that the arena had been changed. While smaller battles were being done on smaller stages set up on the arena, there was one large arena set up as the main stage. This was the one where some mages announced the results and the strictest judges worked.

The main stage was not set up the same way. This was because there were obstacles set up. The night time arrangement made use of the dim lighting without the sun. Therefore, there were assassin like class users that could use their stealth skills to beat an opponent. Many of the demi-humans with skill related to camouflage also had advantages here.

The shadows created within that larger stage made it optimal for hiding. This way an ambush could be created, not to mention that there were also some smaller trees grown by elves in the stage. It made it more of a natural stage than the other flat and perfect stages.

Watching a dark mage use darkness mana to lengthen the shadows around himself before using shadow wrapping, Walker was surprised. This was a good way to make the environment work for him better. Yet, his opponent was unaffected by the dark mage disappearing to hide after using his skill.

Simply put the match up was a bad one for the dark mage. His opponent raised a sword to the clear and star filled sky. In A few moments, a soft milky white light glowed through the entire stage.

”Thatʼs a starlight swordsman. He uses the light from the stars to strengthen his sword before he attacks. It comes with a method to cut through dark mana and the shadows. He had the natural advantage.”

Proceeding twitch the battle, Walker and Midnight watched the mage get beaten in only three more moves. That Was just the essence of the match up. However, when Walker noticed a connection getting closer, he was suddenly hyper focused. Midnight was the same as she caught a whiff of who had just made their way in to the arena.

Right in the middle of the larger arena, Onyx slithered. He was in his full sized form and he was not looking at anyone in particular. Sinetad, it appears that he had come here with a full focus and attention to battle.

Walker could tell what he was thinking. What if he ever had to fight another tough battle as they had just been in, then what would he do? Would he be the strongest one or the weakest one when a chance to shine was given.

Onyx soon faced a man with a large sword and shield. He was plenty sure of himself that he was shouting to the crowd. That he was displaying his victory earlier than he should. ”Brother, I came to train and help Scylla out.” Onyx saw Walker and Midnight before this battle started. He sent Walker the mental message just to tell him he wasnʼt here fooling around. Not that Walker would have judged him.

But it was surely going to weigh on Onyx later on if this stopped him from helping all the little serpents. Yes, Onyx had a responsibility to the race he was building. To the youngest serpents to help them choose a path. However, he also had his own pathways and desires. To keep improving his strength more and more.

The more opponents that he had, the greater his battle strength would grow. That way, he could challenge Walker fairly. He could become the strongest one in their group. What kind of fun dream was that?

Midnight and Walker Cheered as they watched Onyx whip his tail around while creating different spears of light and darkness. Each attack showing off the prowess of mana that Onyx could use. the depths of how much he had trained to be able to use them as attacks and defenses.

This wasnʼt over though, when the announcement that Onyx could handle more than one opponent went out, Walkern and Midnight understood why he was being used as the one to show for the coliseumʼs fame. Onyx had made it so that he would show off the real battle skills that he had used in a literal war. On top of that, also to attract those that wished to see him as an inspiring figure.

When four warriors came to face Onyx at the same time, the coliseum roared with excitement. They all tried to get close to him but found themselves limited by the reach of his tail whipping through the air. This just prompted Onyx to attack more actively though.

Overall, the change in the coliseum from night to day and now this, made Walker and Midnight feel that they had missed a lot while they were elsewhere in the city. But by the time that Onyx was finished with the battle, Walker and Midnight had plenty of questions for him. They spent the next few hours watching battles and enjoying the fighters showing off their skills in mock battles.

Especially those that they had fought with and not noticed due to the chaos of battle.
