Overlord: The Multiverse

Chapter 28: King D-Kingson 1

As always, I found myself teleporting to the walkway that led to the arena, the familiar sights and sounds of the tournament surrounding me. The anchor's booming voice filled the air, announcing the arrival of the next challengers with his trademark enthusiasm.

"—On my left is the vampire, Alexander Seductus Von Mortis, as Challenger, who has presented us with a unique way of fighting with only his speech." The anchor's words washed over me as I made my way towards the gate, my anticipation building with each step.

—On my right is the human, King D-Kingson, as Challenger, whose magic prowess and brawn have made him a force to be reckoned with," the anchor continued, drawing attention to my opponent.

As the announcer described him, I couldn't help but size him up, taking note of his lean build and impressive armor as he entered the arena. Instead of a typical weapon, he sported a pair of formidable gauntlets on each hand, a testament to his prowess in hand-to-hand combat.

"As both contestants are here, ladies and gentlemen, the quarter-final battle is starting," the anchor announced, his voice carrying over the roaring crowd. "The winner will be able to enter the semi-final to compete against the winner from another Colosseum. ARE YOU READY?"

"YES!" The crowd erupted in response, their enthusiasm fueling the intensity of the moment.

With a determined nod, I met King D-Kingson's gaze, a silent acknowledgment of the challenge that lay before us. The stakes were high, and the pressure was on, but the only thing that refused to make me serious was his name – King D-Kingson. I mean, seriously? Who names themselves that?

As the countdown began, I focused my thoughts, mentally preparing myself for the battle ahead. I knew that I would be victorious, but I was ready to give it everything I had.

With the final seconds ticking away, the tension in the air reached its peak. The time for talk was over – now it was time to let our actions speak for us.

"Then Battle Begins!" boomed the anchor's voice. With a surge of confidence, I activated my {Blood Monarch} ability, ready to take control of the situation. But to my surprise, King D-Kingson lunged at me with lightning speed, his fists aimed like a pair of speeding bullets.

With quick reflexes, I raised my sword just in time to block his rapid-fire punches, the force of each blow reverberating through my arms. "Nice speed," I quipped, impressed by his agility, as I countered with a swift attack of my own.

While it's not my first time seeing someone bypass my {Blood Monarch} ability in the {World Championship} but it's definitely a rarity.

Our weapons clashed in a deadlock, the sheer force of our blows sending shockwaves rippling through the air. With a quick kick, we broke apart, both of us eyeing each other warily as we sized up our next moves.

Seizing the opportunity, I cast a spell in his direction, hoping to catch him off guard. But to my surprise, King D-Kingson intercepted the spell with a powerful punch, shattering it into nothingness.

I frowned slightly, realizing that my magic alone wouldn't be enough to bring him down. But no matter – I had other tricks up my sleeve.

Just as I prepared to launch my next attack, King D-Kingson vanished from sight, his presence disappearing like smoke in the wind.

Before I could even say "abracadabra," a kick the size of a wrecking ball came barreling towards me like a runaway train.

Ducking and weaving, I narrowly avoided the blow, feeling the rush of air as it whizzed past my ear. "Not bad,"

King D-Kingson quickly recoiled, realizing his surprise attack had failed spectacularly. But hey, points for effort, right?

"You know, I watched your whole match till now." D-Kingson said.

As King D-Kingson's words echoed through the arena, I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. "Oh really?" I replied, "Well, I hope you were taking notes. You might learn a thing or two."

D-Kingson chuckled, a smug smirk playing on his lips. "Oh, I did more than just watch, my friend," he said, his voice dripping with confidence. "I studied your every move, your every tactic. And let me tell you, I've seen better."

I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. "Is that so?" I retorted, keeping my expression neutral. "Well, I hate to break it to you, but I've got a few tricks up my sleeve that you haven't seen yet."

D-Kingson laughed, the sound grating on my nerves. "Oh, I'm sure you do," he said, his tone mocking. "But let's be real here—you're out of your league. You may have made it this far, but you're no match for me."

"I don't know how you killed two world enemies in the past year, but from my observation, you're nothing but a weakling who relies too much on your fancy abilities."

I chuckled, rolling my eyes at his bravado. "Ah, so you've been doing your homework, huh?" I replied, feigning nonchalance. "Well, don't believe everything you read. As for those 'fancy abilities,' let's just say I like to keep things interesting."

Despite his attempts to undermine my confidence, I remained unfazed. After all, I've faced tougher opponents than D-Kingson – and come out on top.

"Guess we'll just have to see who comes out on top, won't we?" I said, flashing him a smirk. "But hey, thanks for the pep talk. It's been real inspiring."

With a dismissive wave of his hand, D-Kingson stepped back into a defensive stance, his eyes gleaming with confidence. "Bring it on, Alexander," he taunted, a wicked grin spreading across his face. "I'm ready for anything you've got."

I couldn't help but smirk at his bravado. "Oh, I doubt that," I replied, "But hey, if you insist on being schooled, who am I to refuse?"

With a flick of my wrist, I activated my {Blood Monarch} ability once again, but this time, I didn't use it to control D-Kingson. Instead, I focused on manipulating the blood coursing through my veins, channeling its power in a way that would make even the most seasoned warrior think twice.

"You asked how I defeated two world enemies using my fancy tricks," I said, my voice laced with amusement. "Well, prepare to find out."
