152 Dark Moon Kingdom First Official Tournament! 5/5
-----
In the middle of the battlefield, two large behemoths stood on each side.
One was a Giant Fiery Oni variant, blessed by multiple gods, he had a scarlet red skin and massive bulging muscles, he resembled a blazing tower as his breath released fire everywhere. His eyes were pure white, and his horns shined on a crystalline fashion as if they were made out of Rubies.
He held the prestigious [Legendary] Relic forged by a Divine Existence; [Earth Splitting Flaming Tempest Axe], which has recently evolved to adjust to its user new powers.
The other was a Giant Medusa variant, blessed by numerous gods, she had an outstanding and beautiful figure, with pale purple skin and bright purple eyes, resembling gemstones of the highest quality. Her hair and snake tail were also of this color, showing off her amazing venomous capabilities, represented by the purple color. Her figure was charming and enchanting, and no simple man could ever take their gaze out of such beauty.
This maiden held the prestigious [Legendary] Relic forged by a Divine Existence; [Gorgon's Heaven Splitting Axe], which has also enhanced its power due to its wielder recent evolution.
According to the Realm Menace of Lust Kireina, their Master and owner. Both of them shall fight to show off their strength. Although a conventional and sane person would consider fighting an ally a stupid thing to do, Demi-humans and monsters are different. Constantly wanting to prove their strength, they would fight endlessly, even against their comrades on an endless fight for who is the strongest or most superior of the territory.
The two Giant's blood boiled in excitement as their fight was finally unfolded. Releasing impressive and outstanding auras filled with bloodthirst and excitement, the two behemoths clashed their giant axes on a sound so strong that it quickly created immense shockwaves, destroying all their surroundings.
The clashing of two [Legendary] Relics usually comes accompanied by the strength of the gods who forged them, which naturally counter react to each other. The power of the Poison Mist Goddess and the Sun Goddess clashed against each other as if these two Divine Existences were fighting by themselves.
Their apostles, the two Giants, were completely unaware of such thing, as they fought only for their own amusement and excitement, completely ignoring that there was such a hidden meaning on their clashing.
Those who hold the [Legendary] Relics are those who hold the strength of a god, represent a god, and fight for a god. And possibly, are destined to be one.
However, not everyone's destiny is a straight line, they entangle each other, fight each other for who will fulfill it first. And those who fail will die miserably.
The Fiery Oni known as Truhan by his relatives and Master, enhanced his body beyond capabilities, doubling his size and muscle mass while releasing an intoxicating Fire Domain that engulfed everything on its territory. His amazing power and overwhelming strength had almost no equals, however, its opponent did have ways to countermeasure his powers.
The Giant Medusa named Nesiphae by her mother responded to the Fiery Oni's engulfing flames with her own Domain. However, this domain could be seen as a completely different thing, resembling an everlasting purple mist that expanded endlessly everywhere. The poisonous mist was not inflammable and was even able to slow down the power of the flames that the Scarlet Oni released.
As Truhan noticed the power of such Mist, which was comparable or stronger than his Domain, he quickly used his new strength to pounce over Nesiphae with all his strength, raising his Axe, he activated a myriad of Techniques, which he learned from various fighters.
The combination of techniques was so massive that it compares its power to an Ultimate Art, something that only those Humans who have awakened their Epic can achieve, however, he as a Demi-Human, achieved such feat. Or at least, something comparably strong.
The countless attacks were released as such speed that they created thousands of mirages of the Fiery Oni's Axe, falling like blazing meteors, each blow was as heavy as a mountain.
However, the one he was fighting was no simple enemy, but someone comparable to him or even stronger. Nesiphae quickly adapted to the barrage of attacks skillfully, using her experience and just her overwhelming strength, paired with her giant Axe, she slashed back at Truhan's rampage using her own techniques.
Although not as strong as him, Nesiphae combined them with multiple types of magic and status effects, her attacks resembled falling purple flames that spread chaos and demise to those who touched. A simple human would instantly die and rot into a puddle of flesh and bones if he ever touched such a powerful mist.
Truhan quickly noticed as his status began to decrease and his strength faltered, his muscles became stiff and slow, and he was not able to continue his barrage on this state, slowly being overwhelmed by Nesiphae's onslaught of techniques.
Seeing that if things keep going as it is, he would surely lose, Truhan was engulfed on a blazing rage, that filled his muscles and entire body on incredible flames, purifying his body from the corrosive mist in a split second.
Using his giant arms, he quickly grabbed Nesiphae's left arm as he tried to break it with his sheer strength. To this, the Giant Medusa responded with a massive punch on Truhan's face, that left his face full of blood. The amazing strength of her punch came accompanied by more mist, that quickly infiltered the Oni's eyes, blinding him for a moment.
Using this unexpected opportunity, Nesiphae raised her Axe as she enhanced her body capabilities beyond her limits for a small amount of time, and moving her strength towards her arms, she slapped Truhan's with her giant axe as if it were a hand, throwing the Fiery Oni several meters away.
For the first time since this tournament started, the Fiery Oni was seen being thrown away, something that most spectators would never have thought possible before. His body was enveloped in flames as he tried to take out the mist on his eyes, ultimately crashing towards the giant bedrock, creating a thirty meters deep hole, which began to melt into a flood of lava due to the high temperatures of the Oni.
Nesiphae knew that this wasn't the end, as she braced herself and spread her [Magic Snakes] through the battlefield and enhanced her body once again, temporarily obtaining increased stats. With her new strength, she manipulated her Poisonous Mist Domain and jumped over Truhan's, who was still recovering from her previous attack.
With a single smash from her [Legendary] Axe, the Charming Lamia blasted Truhan's whole body through the ground. The Fiery Oni just managed to use his own Axe as a shield, taking the hit for him.
As the strength of Nesiphae kept increasing, her force kept pushing Truhan's body through the ground. And while doing this, she spread her mist and combined it alongside her techniques, devastating everything recklessly. As the thunderous sounds exploded through the battlefield, Truhan was using his utmost strength to resist the unleashed Medusa onslaught.
As the Fiery Oni saw an opening on the reckless charge of Nesiphae, he braced himself on undying flames and used his entire muscle mass to propel himself outside of the hole that was made by the onslaught of the Medusa. By doing this, his flames quickly melted the rocks beneath the ground, submerging Nesiphae in hot and scorching lava.
For a moment, even the powerful being above everyone else on this fight became worried, as he feared the health and safety of her second wife, Nesiphae.
However, these worries were quickly dissipated as she saw Nesiphae coming from the hole completely intact. Her massive Organic Armor combined with her Equipment, creating something else entirely, a new type of intimidating armor that was even fine after being submerged on pure and hot lava.
And even so, the lava that managed to get through the armor and towards her skin quickly became rocks due to the chill produced by the Medusa's Poisonous Mist Domain, which protected her entire body.
Using the opportunity of Truhan's being taken aback by the quick recovery of hers, alongside the new armor, Nesiphae commanded the thousands of [Magic Snakes] of all colors that spread through the battlefield to entangle Truhan.
As the thousands of tiny snakes entangled the Fiery Oni, he tried to fend them off using his blazing domain and flames exuded from his own body. Although the unbearable heat took most of them, some still managed to detonate and cause heavy Elemental Magic damage on Truhan's whole body.
But even after taking such damage, his skin was mostly intact, and just as before, Truhan's body quickly recovered thanks to his own flames, that had the unique ability to recover his wounds and any type of ailment inflicted to him. This skill was the culmination of hundreds of skill fusions that led to this power.
However, Nesiphae's wits and intelligence wouldn't let her stand there as she watched her rival regenerate. The Lamia quickly pounced through the ground using her incredible strength combined with her impressive speed, creating several shock waves that blasted every rock and surroundings.
With her giant Axe at hand, she slashed, smashed and crashed against Truhan with all her might, generating a similar onslaught of consecutive attacks. A mirage of purple-colored Axe figures showed over the entire body of the Fiery Oni.
At this, Truhan quickly countered with his own catastrophic onslaught, as the two clashed once again throwing destructive attacks at each other, everything around them began to disintegrate and generate heavy earthquakes.
As the fight kept going, the two giants fought wildly to see who was the strongest. Their Stamina and regeneration rates were so high the battle ended up lasting an entire day, reaching already midnight.
-----
Sigh… The battle between Nesiphae and Truhan was extremely catastrophic, and just like the previous one, there wasn't any winner. The two kept fighting, getting knocked out, completely regenerating and then fighting again…
They are truly too strong, a winner or a loser would never appear between the two, so I called it a draw before they destroyed the entire Grand Forest. Their fight had already moved there and they already had half of the forest in flames.
I scolded the two and quickly put out the fire, with the help of Rimuru, we generated giant floods of Oceanic Water, which quickly flooded the entire forest and completely dissipated the raging flames.
Well, after the big fire, there is a lot of plain land inside of the forest, so I guess it will be easier to colonize their parts and add more houses and facilities.
Because there was no winner, no one will fight me… Which made them quite sad, but I compensated it with gifts. I gave Nesiphae a beautiful [Venomous Medusa Heart Ring] and Truhan received a [Fiery Oni's Berserk Heart Ring]. These two rings are of [Unique++] quality and come stacked with abilities and extra stats, the two appreciated the items greatly.
Oh, and Nesiphae was also looking forward to having a night with me as compensation, however, it was only the two alone. Because it wasn't anything bad or strange, I accepted and spent the night in a separate room with her.
She also wanted me to impregnate her once again, but I was quite worried if it was fine for her to have another child… However, she was forceful and begged for it as compensation, so I had to do it.
