Volume 5 Chapter 116

Victor of Martial Arts God Tournament

「Wha-what is this?!」

Leo was absolutely stunned by the size of my magic circle.
I mean, who wouldn’t be?
I poured a whopping ten mana points per character, to create a 100,000-character magic circle.
I planned on summoning a force to be reckoned with, a force to give Leo a run for his money in terms of speed.
Undine, the Water Spirit, could manifest a whole day with just a 10-character magic circle.
But this time, I was making a summon with an immense amount of mana, requiring far more that was needed for Undine.
But, oh the rewards!
According to legends, this powerful being commanded obedience over beastkin and was even faster than all of them.
It was time for its revelation!
In a flash a fiery light, a colossal pillar rose from the centre of the arena and disappeared, leaving a small peaceful dog in its place.
「Eh?」
This was not as I envisioned it.
I summoned Shiro, the Divine Beast Fenrir, who was house-sitting at the mansion in Glendale while I studied at Ifrus Academy of magic.
This was who I summoned in the Vestier arena.
That was not the issue.
Just that, his appearance was a bit of a letdown.
I was expecting Shiro to take on a different form, just like Mai and Mei, the Fire and Water Spirits who I had contracts with, did when I poured a lot of mana into them.
My plan was for Shiro to revert to his former, intimidating appearance and give Leo a fright.
But, he remained in his adorable puppy form, puppy wolf, to be exact.
Despite my forceful summoning, he remained asleep, completely shameless.
I could not wait to see Shiro in action as the Divine Beast, but what I got was a sleeping pup.
「He, hey, Shiro?」
「Hm….. I’m stuffed 」
I had to shake him awake, disturbing whatever dream he was having.
Sorry, but I need her awake!
「Ow, ow! Wha-what’s going on? Haruto? 」
「Good morning「
「Morning….. Hold on, where is this?」
Shiro rubbed her sleepy eyes, taking in her surroundings.
「Is this Vestier?」
「That’s right! 」
She must have surmised that she was in Vestier from seeing the multitudes of beastkin filling the arena.
「What’s wrong? I thought you had saved Tina and others. What happened to the warlock? Why am I here? 」
「The warlock has been defeated, the wounded beastkin were rescued, and right now it’s the final match of the Military Martial Arts Tournament. And my opponent is that guy over there 」
I pointed to Leo, who was still frozen in shock.
「No way…… that’s the Divine Beast, Fenrir-sama?」
Leo stuttered, recognizing Shiro’s true identity, even though she looked like a puppy, just like Melida did.
Divine Beasts are served and worshiped by beastkin. Beaskin are like retainers of Divine Beasts.
「It seems like you’re facing a beastkin this time. This might be a bit of a challenge 」
「I know, can you help me out here? This guy is too fast, I can’t seem to hit him. As a reward, Tina will make you a huge serving of curry when we get back to Glendale 」
「…… Huge serving, you say? 」
「You heard me, she’ll make plenty 」
「I guess I can lend you a hand then–」
And with that, Shiro started to go after Leo, his tail wagging all the while.
Shiro transformed into his majestic, snow-white wolf form, creating a whirlwind in the process.
He approached Leo with determination in his eyes, ready to prove himself.
「Beastkin over there. I apologize in advance, but I have to win this for the sake of that delicious curry 」
In an instant Shiro vanished.
「Ahhh! 」
Leo was tossed into the air.
Shiro quickly tackled Leo.
But even in his lightning-fast magic suit, Leo could not dodge the attack.
However, he managed to keep himself from falling off the stage.
He seemed to have paused for a minute.
「Shiro, duck! 」
And without a moment’s hesitation, Shiro reacted to my voice and ducked.
My flying fist flew overhead.
I had been ready with a mana-charged fist just in case Leo managed to withstand Shiro’s attack.
It was going straight for him and —
It missed.
Leo was still determined to continue the fight, even after taking a heavy hit from Shiro.
I knew I could not use the same approach as I did with Sally, using the enormous wall, as Leo would likely withstand it.
So, I refined my strategy, focusing my energy into a smaller, concentrated attack, but still he managed to dodge it.
「Argh, n, not yet! 」
Leo refused to back down.
But–
「I’m just getting started 」
「What?! Argh! 」
Thanks to Shiro’s, I got the chance I was hoping for.
I seized the opportunity and aimed for payback.
I had prepared eight more attacks after he had evaded the first one.
It was the same number of attacks I received from him.
Although I did not get hurt, I still wanted payback.
I was ready to unleash eight powerful attacks, each with the same destructive force that I used to obliterate the Unbeatable Target. My fists, infused with solidified magic, curved through the air, leaving trails of destruction in their wake as they descended upon Leo from all eight directions.
This was different magic from the time I put out the fire back at the Martial Arts God Shrine.
Despite the barrage of attacks, Leo still managed to endure.
The former Beatkin King stood tall on the stage, even after receiving eight devastating blows that could shatter eight Unbeatable Targets.
「Come on, how tough is he…… 」
I could not help but say.
But it was clear he was reaching his limit.
With a slow fall, Leo finally tumbled down.
Down from the stage.
I was the victor.
I finally won.
My triumph was met with wild cheers from Shiro and the beastkin that filled the arena.
They howled and roared in a mighty chorus, celebrating my victory.
