24 Chapter 24

There was no immediate final Winner, So the decision of the winner naturally fell upon the Judges.

Vlad staggered off the stage as Alice quickly came forward and supported him, although his body was in the clear with few minor injuries, his brain was constantly sending him warnings, even though he already knew about killing intent from Alice, this was his first time experiencing it, Vlad was truly too mentally exhausted.

Vlad immediately fell into an unconscious state as he fell into Alice's hands, there was this warm smile on Alice's face as she looked at Vlad's beautiful face laying in her arms. Even though Alice was instructed by Ria to seduce Vlad, she couldn't deny it was her who fell in love.

Meanwhile, Vlad oblivious to Alice's feelings was having a dream of a young man in black, holding a pitch-black katana, he wore a luxurious black robe with an Oni mask covering his face.

He stood on the edge of a bloody cliff, with thousands of dead bodies laid around him, his sword dripping with crimson red blood.

As the skies roared, bright lightning bolts continuously fell on top of the black man, but he seemed unfazed, as he continued to stand there and endure.

The supreme heaven angered by this show of courage from this small ant, increased the intensity of the lighting bolts.

Boom!! Boom!! Boom!!

Ear piercing noises echoed through the air.

The man in black felt the anger of the supreme heavens, as he finally blocked the lightning bolts with his black sword.

A mysterious laugh echoed throughout the sky, as the power of the lighting bolts grew significantly.

The black sword was only able to withstand a few more lightning bolts before it shattered into small pieces.

Just when it seemed like hope was lost for the young man, Vlad was surprised to see him laughing like a madman.

"So this is the strength of the supreme heavens, HOW PITIFUL!!!! Let me show you what is true POWER." He screamed towards the sky.

Suddenly a black sword formed in his hands and he slashed towards the sky, time seemed like it froze, Vlad saw the lightning bolts almost stationary in the sky.

As the katana was moved it produced a large horizontal blood-red slash, which headed towards the sky, As Vlad watched this attack, he saw dozens of images inside the slash, there were humans males, females and children...., there were demonic folks, there were angels with beauty unrivaled, there was every kind of existence, Vlad even saw the faces of some of the dead man lying in the cliff, the only similarity between them was their eternal suffering, they were all agonizing, some cursed the black man, some screamed in anger, some devoid of life.

Slash...

Suddenly the frozen time resumed, and the horizontal slash tour through the sky, finally clearing the sky of any life.

"And to you who is looking at me in the past, who are you?" The young man suddenly asked seemingly noticing Vlad's presence.

"I am Vlad, Who are you....." Vlad also wanted to ask about his identity, but he was suddenly pulled by some unknown force.

"Vlad...Interesting, I shall remember you, maybe you will be a decent opponent."

.....

Vlad suddenly woke up, noticing Alice fondling his hair.

"So who Won?" Vlad asked after a while.

"Of course, it was you honey, that was an impressive fight but I think you should rest now," Alice replied.

Vlad simply nodded as he closed his eyes.

'That was an interesting dream, someday maybe, I can be this powerful, sigh.. for now, it is time for me to rest and recover.' Vlad had a final thought as he fell into a deep sleep state.
