310: Wonderful Bubbles!
“YEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!”
“Go, half-naked bubble girl!”
Though at first they the crowds fell silent in surprise, they then erupted in cheers at Number Forty’s perseverance and her decisive blow.
“Haah, haaah~” Lilith breathed heavily after landing a short distance from the explosions. As the dust settled, she wiped away the sweat from her one good eye, not even getting the chance to clean her face properly since the last fight.
“She did it!? Number Forty for the win!!”
“Marry me, Number Forty!”
“It kind of loses its meaning when you say that to every girl you fancy.”
“This time it’s different! She’s the one!”
“Oh, shut up, you fools! You really think this is over?”
“I hope it is!”
“Yeah, fuck that masked girl!”
“Can we gangbang her if she loses?”
“You don’t even know what she looks like!”
“So?”
“… Good point!”
While some amongst the spectators were skeptical of whether Number Forty’s attack had worked, Not a single person booed Lilith.
“Well, it certainly looks like our miss Ruby has little support amongst our dear crowds,” the announcer giggled. “Perhaps she should spend some quality time in the entertainment area after this round to grow her popularity?”
“Hell yeah! About time to rain some cum on her mask instead of the blood!” a beastkin cheered.
“Maybe she has no idea what she’s missing out on?” another spectator laughed.
“Wait, the announcer lady didn’t seem worried in the slightest about that Ruby bitch,” a tauruskin spectator pointed out as he viewed the giant viewing sphere that displayed the small crater where Ruby’s body lay. That body then moved.
“Not bad, not bad,” miss Ruby complemented Number Forty while slowly rising back to her feet. Though a single pink bubble was previously capable of outright killing Lilith’s opponents, the white mask girl did not seem harmed in the slightest. No limbs or chunks of flesh missing. The fact that her fiery robes were now a little worse for wear was the only proof that she had suffered an all-out attack.
“An impressive ability,” the masked girl said as she raised her right hand and pointed her index finger up. “Something like this?”
A small pink bubble formed into existence at Ruby’s fingertip. It grew to a size of an average pearl before Ruby launched it straight at Lilith.
“Ah!?” Lilith gasped in shock. She spat out a pink bubble of her own, sending it on a straight collision course against the masked girl’s one. She then jumped away as the collision would have happened too close to where she stood. And not a second too late as the two pink bubbles collided, expanded, and burst in a violent explosion.
“Wonderful!” the masked girl exclaimed and clapped her hands. “Isn’t it incredible how we both have the same abilities?”
Bullshit! Beatrice thought.
Miss Ruby then launched two more pink bubbles at Lilith, who barely got on her feet, increasingly exhausted.
“AAAH!” Lilith launched one pink bubble to meet the two and ducked for cover. Her bubble expanded and met Ruby’s two bubbles, which entered a chain reaction and caused a triple explosion.
She has to be a copycat! Beatrice concluded about the white mask girl. Just like with the old man—she first takes on the full force of her opponent’s attacks, somehow survives them, and then uses the same power against her enemy.
Copycat or not, the white mask girl rushed her opponent straight through the explosions, before Lilith could recover. Lilith launched one more bubble against the masked girl, landing a direct hit and causing another burst and explosion. However, Ruby ran straight through the explosion without stopping and kicked Lilith in the stomach.
“GUAH!” Lilith gasped as spit flew from her mouth and her whole body flew half a foot into the air. She gathered her will and strength and caught her balance by flipping overusing the momentum and her light body to regain her footing.
But just as Lilith got back on her feet, Ruby slashed at her with her curved stainless steel dagger. Lilith leaned back to avoid a slash across her throat, but a quick, vertical slash followed against which Lilith did not have enough time to react. Lilith only managed to protect her vitals with her arms, which earned her deep cuts across both her forearms, sending blood spraying right on Ruby.
“Ha! That’s more like it!” Ruby moaned as she slashed across Lilith’s body, again and again, covering herself with more blood before kicking Lilith in the stomach, sending her flying back helplessly.
