BXBX NOVEL Chapter 113 The Hound Wins Again.
Mega Su heard her husband\'s cheering and she looked up. "Goodness gracious, she won, my daughter won!!!" she cheered. "Hey," she shouted at her husband, "Why didn\'t you tell me that she was winning?"
"I was enjoying the fight." her husband replied. "Why didn\'t you have faith in her?"
On stage, the Southern paladin was confirmed to be passed out and the host appeared in the middle of the stage. "It\'s unbelievable ladies and gentlemen, newly arrived to the fights and participating in her very first fight, the hound has dragged the Southern paladin to hell. The hound wins." the host announced loudly and raised Scarlet\'s hand.
"You did not flinch even once through the entire fight." Markay said to Esong. "Were you sure that she would win?"
"Of course, whose wife is she after all?" Esong answered. On his face was a very big smirk and pride which his friends found annoying. Truly, Esong had not doubted for a single second that she would win. He had been sparring her in the mornings, she took her training extremely seriously. After sparring with him she would relax for a while and then go to her training ground. At night before they went to bed she would watch videos of various mecha fights, taking notes seriously.
"I hate you so much." Folsom said.
Esong shrugged and smiled, "That is entirely up to you."
The virtual mecha fights champions roll appeared in the middle of the ring and the names of division one fighters appeared. A new name in position eighty appeared, The hound. Just like the leader board in the underworld a picture of the fighter was added. Scarlet\'s picture was of her face fully covered by the robe and red eyes. She liked it very much.
"The hound once again ladies and gentlemen." the host turned his attention to her when the champions rolls disappeared and he raised her hand once more.
"I want to keep going, as the Victor of this fight I am allowed to issue another challenge."
The host looked at the audience and he said excitedly, "She wants to keep going ladies and gentlemen, the hound is not here to play."
Some people in the audience started waving the red flag which was representative of the mecha fights. "Who will be dragged to hell next?" The host asked, the champions roll appeared once again and highlighted the fighters that were active at the moment.
"Her." She pointed to number seventy.
"The machine, the hound chooses to challenge the machine." The host announced.
Scarlet went to her corner and waited for the challenged to appear.
"Introducing the challenged, she is the woman of steel, the breaker of bones, the machine."
All the excitement and screaming from the audience did not excite her anymore for she had been through it once. The machine appeared in the ring, she had punk like hair that was spiked and colored green and pink. She was short but physically she possessed great strength. Her entire body was wrapped in armor of steel that had spikes. Her preferred style of fighting was physical combat, and her weapons were circular spinning rings that could cut through almost anything. During the fight, she always broke an arm or a leg of her opponent.
She looked at Scarlet and made a throat slitting gesture but Scarlet shrugged and smirked.
A red flag disappeared in flames and the fight ensued, the machine attacked with no hesitation with the aim of overwhelming Scarlet and dominating her but Scarlet dodged her, employing the Southern paladin\'s strategy of jumping and avoiding. Her rings of steel were like boomerangs, she would throw them out, Scarlet would dodge them and they would return to the machine.
"Her weakness is her hands, her wrists are weak." Severus said.
"I know." She replied. So far all she had done was run around the ring and avoid the machine\'s weapons.
"Are we running or fighting?" The machine stopped chasing and taunted her.
Once again, in the audience Mega hid her face in the crook of her husband\'s neck.
"Fight." Scarlet replied and a scythe appeared in her hand.
"The hound pulls out her new weapon, a long battle axe." the host announced.
"Axe!!!" She heard Severus say in a displeased tone.
Scarlet charged at the machine, when she was close she rolled down and sliced a part of the machine\'s armor, right below her arms which were out in the open to beat her body. She jumped up and sliced another part on the back
The machine groaned angrily and she sent out her rings continuously with her mental strength but Scarlet kept hitting them away with her weapon and dodging them flexibly that the audience shouted. It was as if they were watching her perform a special dance.
Successfully she cut off bits of amour around the hands, then she threw her whips out trapping the machine\'s hands. She then jumped up powerfully and power kicked the machine into the oblivion portal with mental strength power kick. Since her hands were trapped by the whips the machine could not quickly enough steady herself and into the portal she went.
The audience stood up and cheered powerfully, this victory did not need to be announced by the host because everyone knew it was a win instantly.
"Unbelievable ladies and gentlemen, the hound does it again, defeating number seventy on the champions roll. The machine I regret to say has been dragged to hell."
More red flags were waved wildly by the audience as the screens replayed the kick which defeated the machine.
Once more, the host raised Scarlet\'s hand and the crowd went wild, including Severus who howled. Esong\'s eyes traced the unusual sound and he saw the dog which looked fascinatingly like his wife\'s dog. It was prancing around and barking. If he did not know every inch of that dog he would think that someone had chosen to appear like a dog in the virtual world. Taking on different appearances was an option in this world after all.
Folsom followed his eyes and he saw it too. "Is that your wife\'s dog?"
"I think so." He replied.
"She bought a virtual helmet for her dog and connected it to the virtual world!!!! She is crazy." Folsom said in disbelief.
