Chapter 675 - Time To Register For The Monster Tournament
-----
Frank and company quickly moved outside of the shop after locking it and leaving the security to the tamed monster pets that he had been raising inside, most of them stolen from all his attackers the previous weeks, which were now like loyal guards that continued growing stronger and stronger with each passing day they kept living inside the expansive world of each room inside of Yurei.
Each room had become something even more expansive than it was before. Frank could recall the first time he bought Ruby inside her room, it looked like a small room of no bigger than 10 x 10 meters cubic, but now each room was at least five times the size of a national stadium, and each one held an impressive level of nature and other things that made them special.
A large volcanic land, a warm and wild jungle, an open sea, a large and cold ice land, and more, depending in the type of monster pets, the rooms would continue appearing with new biomes as more were unlocked over time, any type of monster was able to live inside these special rooms for their types, so they were having a lot of fun living in such places.
And even more, as the biomes themselves also generated wild normal animals, which they could hunt for food, or natural plants, fungus, and more, that could be eaten by them as well, depending in the monster's preferences, that's it.
The sun atop the sky was slowly moving down the horizon, and Frank went out with the kids Arthurious and Miriam, who also wanted to register in the tournament. The trip towards the area where the stadium was located wasn't that far, so they took a few minutes and reached the place.
It looked more like an ancient roman Colosseum rather than a modern stadium, and the people was already having fights inside, it seems that small competitions were happening while the people was warming up for the big tournament that was soon to commence in just a month from now.
"Wow, this is a big place." Said Orb. "First time I see something fun to the eyes…"
"Are you going to continue?" sighed Clishya. "Come on, cheer up." Clishya attempted to cheer up Orb, but the grumpy living dungeon just wanted to have some frenetic fun, to feel the thrill…
"I am cheering up! I am doing whatever I can to not look bored." Said Orb. "If I wasn't, I would look even more bored, I swear."
"You're really a handful…" sighed Frank, as he petted her head. "Come on, after this we can go eat something tasty in a restaurant, you like that, right?"
"Yeah… I guess…" said Orb while making herself hard to please. She liked seeing Frank try out ways to make her happy, but it wasn't as if Axitl and Gwendolyn were going to let her do such a thing.
"Orb stop being like that, you're not even half as pissed as you make yourself up to be…" said Axitl. "As your mother I can easily tell."
"Eh?! Ugh…"
Orb was making herself hard to please so Frank would give her more attention and spoil her more, this was her tactic that she had always been using from the moment she became his wife, and now the other girls were finally cracking the code, especially her mother and creator, Axitl, the goddess of chaos and the creator and designed of the dungeons of Terra, which Orb had absorbed many already.
"Hahaha, Orb always lightens the mood." Giggled Gwendolyn. "Right, Annabelle?"
Gwendolyn asked her daughter which Frank had also brought some time ago, the first one he brought after Axitl. The girl, although she always said she was already a grown up always missed to be with her mother, so Frank ended bringing her here at the end. She was happy to be with her mother, although she was sometimes way too spoiled. But Frank was still fond of her and thought of her as a second little sister, it helped that she went along quite well with Kamei.
"Huh? Don't get me involved in this stuff, mom…" she sighed. "Anyways, I wonder if these people are earning money by sparring or just doing it because they want to?"
"They obviously get an incentive, there seems to be a small competition going on inside." said Frank. "Though I am not interested in participating. If I put Ruby there, she's going to blast everybody…" Ruby heard Frank's words as she roared. She was back in her small dragon form, coiling around his shoulders and neck.
"True, it is better to not participate and hide our strength until the moment of truth." Said Gwendolyn. "Here we are."
The group entered the large entrance of the coliseum-like building where many other trainers were walking inside and outside, as they were quickly greeted by an assistant, a young man with brown hair and blue eyes.
"Hello, we came to register for the tournament." Said Frank.
"Very well, the cost for registering is a hundred coins per person." Said the young man. "Are those children joining?"
"Yes, is there some age restriction?" wondered Frank.
"Not exactly, as long as they can use a monster pet…" said the man.
"Register them too." Said Frank.
Frank quickly registers each person that wanted to join, which was most of his group, after that, they were given special cards with their names imprinted on them, which they would need to show.
"You've already been added into the matching list and you'll be randomly given an opponent. There is a lot of participants so we'll host multiple fights from the get-go, see you in a month." Said the young man.
"Thank you."
Frank quickly walked inside the coliseum with everyone, as the family began to admire the monster pet battles, they were fantastical beyond belief, elemental attacks, explosions, tremors, and all kinds of other fantastical attacks were being thrown at one another, the sheer variety of monsters was also nothing but immense… this tournament was going to be filled with exciting things.
