Overlord: The Multiverse

Chapter 29: Warrior Takemikazuchi

As D-Kingson's taunts echoed in the arena, I couldn't help but roll my eyes. Talk about all bark and no bite. With a smirk, I activated my {Blood Monarch} ability, but this time, instead of controlling him, I unleashed a torrent of blood magic that left him reeling.

In the blink of an eye, the tables turned, and D-Kingson found himself on the receiving end of my wrath. With lightning-fast precision, I dodged his attacks and countered with a barrage of spells that left him staggering.

Before he knew what hit him, D-Kingson was lying on the ground, defeated and humiliated. As he groaned, I couldn't resist a chuckle. "Looks like you spoke too soon, buddy," I quipped, standing over him victorious.

With a flick of my wrist, I summoned a premium coffin to send him off in style. After all, even losers deserve a proper send-off.

As the dust settled and the crowd erupted into cheers, I basked in the glory of my victory. The anchor's voice boomed over the speakers, announcing my triumph to the world.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner!" he declared, his words reverberating throughout the stadium. "Alexander Seductus Von Mortis has emerged victorious, securing his place in the semi-finals!"

As the cheers reached a crescendo, I couldn't help but feel a swell of pride. All those hours of training and preparation had finally paid off, and now I was one step closer to claiming the title of World Champion.

{Congratulations! You are the winner for the North Colosseum. You will now move up for the Semi-Finals.}

•••

In the Semi-Finals, I faced off against a formidable opponent: a female giantess. Despite her towering stature and imposing presence, the match turned out to be surprisingly straightforward.

We throw punch at each other until I won.

With the Semi-Finals behind me, I knew that the final battle awaited.

•••

As I teleported to the walkway leading to the arena, the familiar sound of the anchor's booming voice filled the air. It was a sound I had grown accustomed to over the course of the championship.

But this time, something felt different. As I made my way through the passage to the arena, I couldn't help but notice the grandeur of the surroundings. The passage was massive, large enough to accommodate even the mightiest of creatures. It was as if the architects had designed it with dragons in mind, allowing ample space for them to walk with ease.

The sheer scale of the passage filled me with a sense of awe and anticipation. This wasn't just any arenaarena—it was the biggest Colosseum in Helheim, and the magnitude of the moment was not lost on me.

"—On my left is the reigning overlord of the North Colosseum, 'Alexander Seductus Von Mortis,' as Challenger, known for his iron-fisted rule over his domain," the anchor announced as I made my entrance into the arena.

"—On my right is the formidable Nephilim of the West Colosseum, the embodiment of warrior spirit, 'Warrior Takemikazuchi,' who has dominated the arena with his unparalleled sword skills," the anchor continued, introducing my opponent.

Now, it my time to surprise, Warrior Takemikazuchi, one of the original founding member of Ainz Ooal Gown. The creator of Cocytus.

Warrior Takemikazuchi stood tall and imposing in his dark red samurai armor, his horned helmet reminiscent of the legendary Date Masamune. Armed with a katana that matched the ferocity of his appearance, he exuded an aura of strength and determination.

Throughout the quarterfinals, I had the opportunity to witness the matches held in the North Colosseum, but unfortunately, I missed out on the action from the other colosseums in Helheim. So I didn't notice Warrior Takemikazuchi until now.

Now, as I stood face to face with Warrior Takemikazuchi, I realized that today was indeed my lucky day.

"As both contestants are here and this is the final battle," the anchor's voice boomed, "if both contestants have anything to say to each other, now's the time."

I met Warrior Takemikazuchi's gaze, a confident smile playing on my lips. "Well, Warrior Takemikazuchi, it looks like it's just you and me,"

"Yeah," he replied with a nod. "Just you and me, a warrior facing another."

I couldn't help but chuckle at his straightforward response. "A warrior facing another, huh?" I repeated, nodding in agreement. "Sounds like the title of a bad action movie."

Warrior Takemikazuchi raised an eyebrow, a faint smile quirking the corners of his lips. "Maybe so," he conceded. "But I assure you, the battle that's about to unfold will be anything but."

I grinned, feeling the tension in the air dissipate ever so slightly. "Well then, let's make it a blockbuster, our battle will be legendary." I declared, extending my hand in a mock handshake.

Warrior Takemikazuchi chuckled, accepting the gesture. "Agreed," he said firmly. "May the best warrior win."

"Now that both participants have exchanged their pleasantries," the anchor interjected, "let the final battle commence!"

With a roar from the crowd, the atmosphere crackled with anticipation as Warrior Takemikazuchi and I prepared to face off in the ultimate showdown.

As the countdown began, my focus narrowed, my senses heightened. This was it – the moment I had trained for, fought for, dreamed of. With every fiber of my being, I was ready to give it my all and emerge victorious.

I will be World Champion of Helheim.

As the final seconds ticked away, I locked eyes with Warrior Takemikazuchi one last time, a silent acknowledgment passing between us. Then, with a surge of adrenaline, the battle began, and the arena erupted into chaos.
