Warlock of Oceans: My Poseidon System
Chapter 54 Tournament of Blade and Alchemy (3)

Adrenaline filled me, and the dose of dopamine flooding my brain was such a sweet reward that I couldn't help but wait for the next match.

"WILL WE SEE ANOTHER SWEEP BY THE PRINCESS OF THE OCEAN!? CAUSE IT'S LOOKING LIKE ONE IS COMING SOOOOOON!"

As I took a small break, waiting for my next opponent to come up, I tried to look around for my brother, only to replace him at the very top of the stadium, bored out of his mind as he stared at the match we just had.

I attempted to wave at him, but he slowly turned around to talk to two shadowy figures who I immediately recognized.

"Interesting… I guess I'll ask them about it later,"

Not even a few seconds later and a girl with sharp purple eyes and purple hair shaped into a pixie cut stepped out of the enemy base.

"AND NOWWWWWWW! FOR THE SECOND MATCH! ONCE AGAIN! WE HAVE THE QUEEN OF WATER HERSELF! BUT THIS TIME! WE HAVE A GIRL WHO MIGHT GIVE OUR BELOVED CHAMPION A CHALLENGE! COMING STRAIGHT FROM THE DEPTHS OF THE ALCHEMY ACADEMY! A GIRL WITH DEMONIC FLAMES COMES OUT TO CONSUME ALL! JANE POYLITTTTTTTT!"

People began to cheer for her, but her cold, sharp eyes weren't affected in the slightest by the oncoming gaze continuously grazing us.

Most would fall under pressure just from stepping out here, so her confidence is commendable.

"Our little leader down there lost because of his arrogance… he didn't even bring out his best moves… but I won't be holding back,"

"Alright, edge lord. We'll see how you do against me," I let out a little smirk before slowly raising my blade into the air.

Seeing how confident she was, I intended to underestimate my opponent and decided to just finish this fight in one move.

There was no need to showboat when my title and our academy's honor were at stake.

"AND NOW! LET THE FIGHT BEGIN!"

The entire arena went silent as this girl and me standing right in front of me, staring at each other, waiting for each other to make the first move.

I can already predict what will happen… just judging from those baggy clothes of hers.

FWOOSH

"[Ocean Pressure: Poseidon's Seventh Blade]," I muttered, causing the water that formed from my palms to coat my both of my hands and envelop each and every single space of my sword.

The water also locked my hands against the sword, meaning letting go of it was impossible as long as I continued to use this sword.

The size of the blade, handle, and guard doubled, tripled, and then quadrupled until the weapon was as large as my body.

It had hundreds of intertwining golden patterns with even a bit of greenery flowing through the watery blade.

But little did most know, this blade was as dense and pressurized as the very depths of the ocean floor.

Trying to put your hand through it would be impossible, and just judging from the feeling, you might as well be pushing on an actual blade made of solid and sturdy metal.

Plus, its sharpness was unmatched as no longer was it confined to its mortal shape and instead could go as thin as literal water molecules.

FWOOSH

And with a single swing down using this blade, another blade of water erupted from it, flying straight at the girl who raised her hand and blasted the water with purple demonic flames that ate away at it completely.

Not even a drop of water was left as it all went up into steam, creating a smoke cloud that I used to my advantage.

I dashed forward, full intent to slice this girl in half, flowing through my veins, lingering in my bloodlust, and showing just in the determined eyes that hung in my sockets.

But, it was a sudden and calculated move not made by the girl in front of me but by the boy from the previous round.

BAM

The ground beneath me crumbled, and a massively deep pit expanded from below me and before I could even get the chance to stop myself by using a skill or using my sword, I had slammed against the ground.

"Foooo… that's dangerous as fuck," I nervously chuckled as I just barely managed to dodge the very crudely made spikes that seemed to have been made in a rush.

But those were the least of my worries now as I then looked up at the space above the gaping hole I was in and saw the girl conjure up two massive fireballs made from her signature demonic flames.

Quickly, I dropped my sword by deactivating the skill and shot out a few blasts of water that negated the massive fireballs, but the barrage wasn't done yet.

As she kept me down here with the constant barrage of fireballs being thrown by her, she quickly conjured up even more above her, keeping them lingering around until the perfect chance to get rid of me came through.

"What an insane mana pool," I muttered, completely impressed by the teamwork and planning this school had put in to defeat me.

And for now, I was stuck in place, having to continuously defend… all the way until a cloud of steam had completely blocked all sight within the trench I was in.

The girl must've seemed confident that I had gotten tired from her continuous barrage, but she was so 2D that I read her thoughts instantly.

I came rushing out of the steam, my blade in hand, ready to cut through her.

She stumbled backward, nearly tripping over her own ankles as she couldn't believe I was still capable of fighting.

"You did your research, but there are still some things I keep hidden," I smiled, slashing up and… surprisingly being stopped by a long spear made completely from dark purple flames.

"You bitch… I'll destroy you,"

"Oh, how scary,"
