Reincarnated With The Van Helsing System
chapter-213-2

At the skybox of the elite class, Aleah curiously looked at the current fight, although she found a bit interesting the techniques used by the guys of the army, it wasn't to the point that she felt tempted to accept Diana's invitation.

"Daimon, do you know that girl from the Argent family?", she asked.

"She is the daughter of the Argent's supreme elder and also the second disciple my master took in, making her my junior sister".

A faint glow flashed through Aleah's eyes as she saw Arianna overpowering Harald even after the latter used the body magnification anility of the Faresh family.

"She must have recently advanced, not bad, in a rough estimation I think she can fight head on with a seventh star".

Daimon raised an eyebrow noticing Aleah had the same kind of expression as when she fought with him, but that was a good thing, if she had a decent impression of Arianna, it wouldn't be hard for them to team up at the exploration.

"Those two aren't bad too, even I would bleed if I were to take the attacks from that earth salamander girl without any preparation, and the agility and coordination of the snow leopard girl is no joke, although they seem to understand each other, they don't seem to have been training to fight as a whole".

Calvin softly snorted listening to Aleah speaking of teamwork.

"The world must be ending for you to criticize other people's teamwork… when you used to boss me around to be the bait whenever we hunted magic beasts".

"It's not my fault that you always lost against me in arm wrestling".

Michael nearly lost it, imagining Calvin running away from some wild beast, leaving aside that little interaction, Daimon agreed with Aleah, although Arianna, Gina and Lana currently had the upper hand, it wasn't due to their teamwork, but due to their personal strength.

…

Back at the platform Samuel cleaned the blood on his cheek before he jumped backwards, making Arianna stop her assault against Harald, Caleb also suddenly disappeared before appearing next to Samuel regrouping.

"So, what now Mr. leader, our "team" has suffered unlike theirs, so even if we drag things to meet the twenty minutes limit, we will still lose based in our participation so far", said Caleb with an accusatory voice.

Samuel glared at Caleb.

'Acting so high and mighty when you were barely able to keep up with Lana which is weak against your illusions", he thought, but right now wasn't the time to fight with his allies, so he swallowed his complains and instead decided to start actively leading them since in a one-on-one fight, they weren't doing it exactly good.

"Caleb, can you buy is thirty… no fifty seconds against those three, Harald and I have a large area spell which should knock Arianna out of the platform".

Caleb frowned, although he has done the preparations to use silk world since they got up the platform, Arianna and the others would at most be tricked for thirty seconds, for the rest he would need to take the risk to fight them head on.

On the other hand, if Samuel's plan succeeded it would be thanks to him, so he would be taking Lana's third rank for himself.

"Fifty seconds starting now", said Caleb, the invisible silk which he hid on the borders of the platform formed a cocoon and now what Arianna, Gina and Lana saw was under his control.

Still unlike what happened with Wade, he knew that if he simply attacked them with illusions, they would find out in a matter of seconds, so he activated the second legacy spell that those in his same position of the younger brother have developed.

Earth covered his hands forming big gauntlets with claws, which were then clad in silk, another thread of silk held onto his saber acting as a third arm, the process repeated but this time the silk thread coiled forming the tip of a spear, this was the counterpart of Calant's silk knight spell.

"Silk demon", he mumbled before rushing towards Gina.

In Gina's eyes instead of Caleb, she saw Harald jumping towards her, and she rolled her trident on her hands preparing to redirect his war ax instead of taking the attack head on.

"Mm?", when Harald's ax was a few meters away from her, her instincts yelled making her do a back-flip avoiding Caleb's saber which was aiming for his shoulder by the skin of her teeth.

A strand of Gina's grayish hair fell to the ground, she frowned before turning around to see Arianna and Lana, but she couldn't find them, which made her inwardly curse.

'So, we are in that cocoon of yesterday and I can't attack in all directions with my ice or I could hit Arianna, damn it'.

Even as she was thinking what to do, her body moved sidewards dodging what seemed to be Samuel's spear which was Caleb's saber disguised.

While Gina was busy dodging and blocking the saber, Arianna and Lana were both fighting against Samuel.

Arianna felt something was off, since Samuel's lightning wasn't as strong as before, her pupils contracted as she jumped into the air, dodging earth spikes which raised from the ground.

"So, it was all a trap, be careful you two!", shouted Arianna, she felt a sensation of resistance hit her back before the scenery in her eyes changed.

Arianna looked downwards and saw a cocoon made out of lavender colored silk, inside which Gina and Lana were fighting against Caleb and some silk threads which were imitating Samuel and Harald fighting styles.

But judging by his sweating expression, his mana reserves were about to run out, making the three of them see illusions, maintaining the silk demon state and the silk world while he was manipulating the silk threads, consumed a lot of mana after all.

From the spectator's point of view, half of the platform was again covered by that lavender-colored cocoon, then nearly a minute later the roof of the cocoon exploded and Arianna came out of it.

But that wasn't important right now, the other half of the platform was flooding with lightning and fire, and just as Ariana came out of the silk cocoon, both Samuel and Harald finished casting the best wide area martial art and spell they had.

"Lightning Claws!".

"Fire Meteor".

Arianna saw two large waves of lightning followed by huge fire ball coming at her, things slowed down and her pupils expanded as she activated both Bio Booster and Mind Booster at the same time.

Her body was suddenly covered in lightning, her body rolled in the air using the weight of the halberd to get away from the attacks, but even then, she realized it wasn't enough to completely dodge the upcoming explosion.

"Booom!!!", a loud explosion filled the arena, followed by flames and lightning spreading around the air above the platform, but as everyone thought Arianna was done for, they also saw little shards of red ice also flying all over the place.

When the explosion dispelled Samuel nearly lost it as he the melted and broken rests of what used to be a wall of red ice, and Lana which's clothes were ragged, she was crossing her arms in front of her blocking the explosion in front of Arianna, there were some currents of electricity running wild in her arms but there was a light green light blocking them.

The silk cocoon disappeared revealing Caleb which was fainted on the platform, there were bruises all over his boy and his face was completely swollen, he even lost some teeth and was bleeding with his eyes rolled backwards.

"Aghhhh!", Harald which was also in awe, suddenly screamed, his knees were pierced by red ice tridents, which formed out of the water that melted after blocking Harald's flames.

"B-Boss", Harald tried to ask Samuel to help him, but he saw him dashing sidewards barely avoiding a slightly melted metal stick clad in lightning, which was what was left of Arianna's halberd after blocking the remaining explosion which Lana and Gina couldn't block due to the sudden situation.

"God damn it!", Samuel increased the output of his battle aura and distanced himself from Harald, only to see both Gina and Lana appear in front of the latter.

"Ice age", Gina shoved her trident on the ground and ice raised form the ground turning Harald into a giant red ice cube, behind her mask her face paled a bit as she gasped for air, but she did her part.

Lana nodded, her whole body shone in light green light which then condensed in her tail, she jumped in the air and rolled downwards hitting the ice cube with her tail.

The cube crumbled even before her tail made contact with the ice, revealing a slightly froze Harald, which was then hit by Lana's tail, his heavy armor exploded and his chest was dent inwards as his body flew out of the platform.

"Aghhh", the referees stopped him from clashing against the wall of the arena, but the force of the impact was so strong that his eyes, nose, ears and mouth had blood coming out of them.

"You!", at the place where the Half Emperors were sitting, the Faresh ancestor suddenly let out some of his pressure looking at the state in which his youngest son was, but he was immediately suppressed by Aura and the field marshal.

"You didn't show any sign of being worried when your son and Arthur's nephew both aimed at my disciple, so what is this big fuss about?", said Aura with a sharp voice.

Besides the Faresh ancestor, Lars, Maxim and also Arthur were gritting their teeth knowing they probably lost the first round of bets.

And they weren't wrong, a few seconds later, Arianna appeared like a ghost behind Samuel and kicked his back with the maximum strength she could gather in bio boosting state.

Blood escaped out of Samuel's mouth but he resisted the urge to faint and the mind-blowing pain that he was feeling in his back, unfortunately a second later Lana punched his face smacking his boy against the ground, and for the finishing touch Gina pinned his four limbs to the platform with her tridents.

Arianna immediately stopped her spells, her muscle fibers were tearing due to the sudden activation, but she was smiling as she kicked Samuel on the face.

"Do you think I purposedly used myself as the bait without a plan, from the very beginning "falling" in Caleb's illusions was within my calculations".

Samuel's face paled as he fainted, realizing that from the very beginning he was dancing in the palm of his opponent was too much to handle in his current state.

Arianna still kicked him out of the platform which signaled the end of the fight for the captain's position.

The referees inspected the wounds in Samuel and the other two and they immediately frowned, Caleb and Harald were in a worse state than any of the previous participants which lost, but they were alive and they wouldn't suffer permanent damage.

"The winners, Arianna Argent, Gina Leeris and Lana Ramir".
