Chapter 501: You're Vampires, Not Ghosts!
-----
Orb, the one they least expected to win and even surpass all of these people's expectations ended being the one that stole a large part of the spotlight on this battle.
The Vampires felt even bad after they had let Dan insult her, which ended on him getting his ass beaten wonderfully. All of this ended as they never expected it. Orb's powers and talents were completely out of this world… quite literally.
After all, she came from a completely different planet so they couldn't really blame themselves for doubting the power of a completely alien being and species to this world! Her ability as a walking Dungeon was already insanely strange and there was no such thing as Dungeons like in Terra on Earth.
Due to this, it was completely shocking for them to find out someone with the power to use Trap Magic as their innate magic talent, and she easily beat the surprised Gustavo, even when he went all out with his powerup!
Due to his age and history, Gustavo was seen as the senior of most of the vampires here, and also as one of their strongest members, many considered him right below Clementine in levels of power and he had even battle against the powerful Japanese Gods, although he had not won, he had defended Clementine and assisted it, and he had indeed slaughtered a few lesser gods that served these Gods. His power as a Demigod was misunderstood, this man was probably already at the level of a God, yet even then, he got his ass beaten quite easily and swiftly by our beloved Dungeon Core, Orb!
To make things worse for his reputation, all of the Vampires had high expectations for Gustavo, he was the one they believed would finally bring them a victory, but that wasn't the case at all, Frank's team was clearly overpowered, and they didn't cared about balance at all, they were going to pull even more victories as they continued to fight and completely ridicule the entire Vampire Clan!
Actually, to be honest, not even Frank expected this. he thought that at least there would be one or two teams that might lose, but it seems that the love his friends and wives have for him is way too strong that they would go all out even if it meant hurting themselves if it meant bringing him a victory. He was just that amazing of a man! He had lead and raised all these people here to such amazing levels of power (perhaps not Axitl, but he did train her), so it made him feel a bit proud to see them all grow to such level of strength and win against formidable foes.
It felt as if all these hardships were finally put into a test as they fought true challenges for their own personal growth. Well, perhaps not everyone felt like this, but Orb actually felt like this. this was her first official debut as a fighter EVER, and she completely swoop the floor with these guys.
Frank had begun to consider that he did a good thing by not bringing Terra today, or she would had done something similar to Orb! Good thing Terra is lazy.
Terra is the Avatar of Terra itself, the planet's core, and this girl had been leveling up and developing even more insane powers as time went by, she would soon grow so strong she could perhaps fight against Clementine toe-to-toe… or maybe she was already able to do that.
However, Terra was used as a trump card of Frank and mostly as the administrator of the planet itself, as she used her powers to bring him the power of the Laws of Terra to enhance his strength, something that he's considering using against Clementine, her strength might seem to be just that high… so he would need to go completely all out to ever stand an actual chance.
Going back to the main topic at hand, Orb had surprised everyone, all the Vampires were now dispirited, and Clementine looked at them disappointingly.
"This is not a competition, this is supposed to be a test for Frank's group to see if they're strong enough to be worthy of our alliance, stop looking so gloomy! You're Vampires, not ghosts." Sighed Clementine, all the Vampires quickly stood up as they nodded to her and sat down once more. They quickly realized this wasn't really a competition and therefore there wasn't anything on stake other than… a bit of their pride.
But well, weren't they the arrogant ones for underestimating Frank's group and thinking they didn't even deserved their help? Now that they were all swooping their asses in the floor, it felt as if they were constantly being proven wrong all the time, like constant kicks in the balls.
There were now only two battles left, and the hopes for winning were fading away, Frank's team had already won three fights, so it already counted as if they won, but they continued fighting because it was a competition nor an actual tournament, it was actually a battle to prove Clementine that they were worthy.
And Clementine had been meticulously analyzing every member of Frank's Clan, and indeed, they were all worthy… In fact, she was sure that she could stop the fights right now and decide that it was enough.
But deep down, she wanted these fights to occur after all. She wanted Gustavo to fight and awaken his power, and lately, every Vampire showed some new powerup as they fought, which Clementine had not seen before, this proved her right in her theory that they needed to go through hardships to awaken new powers.
She wanted to use this opportunity to continue seeing how his strongest Vampires could awaken new powers by going through extreme hardships and battles to almost the death…
And she was also excited to see the full potential of Frank, she had been looking forward to fighting him with all her might all this time. She wanted to test the young man, and see how worthy of a Guardian of this Planet he truly was…
