SSS SKILL: DUPLICATE

218  Honeytrap

Rancel laughed while watching from the VIP room. "Alex is already troublesome. It will be funny if Yuto join the fun hahahaha!"

"We did invite powerful members from powerful guilds, but we chose what we could handle. With Yuto's attitude and powerful magic, he could have killed Alex without fear, but I did not expect that the dark horse Iceman can defeat him. It's better though because the chance that Alex will lose in the final is higher."

"Are you sure that Alex will enter the final? Iceman might not even kill him."

"We estimated his power. He became stronger than we expected, so the fight we arranged for him became useless. We can't do anything if Iceman does not kill him. We can't force a member of powerful family to kill Alex."

"Hahahaha, aren't all your arrangements wasted if Alex is not killed?"

Vistal remained silent, but he had an imperceptible smile. He thought,"Alex is already trapped the moment he stepped on the island. If he is not killed in the tournament, another trap will be carried out. Aren't there many hyperbeings that have grudges against him? His opponents that were defeated, severely injured, and the friends or relatives of the hyperbeings that he killed will become suspects. They should be thankful that we will carry out their vengeance against him."

Whoosh! The knight stabbed its weapon to its back, but Malik jumped away.

Yuto chuckled as the knight tried to stand up."Malik, you shouldn't have done that. It made me want to cut those dirty feet of yours."

Malik laughed, then he opened his palms. The aura that covered his arms was molding. It formed into dinosaur arms. The knight swung its weapon, but an ice spear covered with ice energy suddenly flew.

ICE SPEAR: TEAR DROP

CRUNCH! The spear turned into huge, sharp ice that penetrated the body of the knight. The ice pinned the knight while it was kneeling on the ground.

"Hahahaha Iceman, that was a nice hit!" shouted Malik, then he looked at panting Yuto, who was able to escape the attack. He raised his hand and signaled the removal of the shield, then he smiled."Yuto, without your huge toy, you won't be able to fight me, and your current mana won't be able to make another one."

"Why is an inflexible musclehead like you chosen as a referee? Did they not tell you to judge the situation? Do you want that softie Iceman to enter the finals?" asked Yuto as he pointed his finger at Edgar.

The face of Malik had changed. He remembered that Vistal did mention it, but how could he admit his mistake and tell the truth on live television that was being shown to the whole world? He was even insulted by Yuto. He crossed his arms and said,"Don't put dirt on us bastard and stop blaming me for your incompetence! You are pushed off the stage, and I am merely keeping the rules! You should have stayed on the stage, idiot!"

Rancel laughed, and Vistal couldn't help but put his hand on his face.

Vistal shook his head and thought,"Idiot! You don't have to insult Yuto! You just made his grudge become stronger!"

Yuto's face looked fierce, then he grinned. He chuckled and laughed. He floated as his feathered coat was swaying and the wind was moving around him. He looked at Malik with a big grin."Malik, you should watch your back." Then he looked at Iceman."It will be a more interesting vacation."

Yuto laughed as he flew to the top of the arena.

"Phew! I thought there would be big trouble! The tournament is safe and will be continued! Thanks to our referee!" shouted the host, causing the audience to cheer and a big smile on Malik's face appeared.

In the evening, Edgar was standing on a rooftop.  His hair and clothes were swaying while he was looking at the gorgeous lights of the city, then a mysterious smile appeared on his face.

Alex was walking toward a big club. He looked at the building with a smile and thought,"It's a good place to relax after a tiring day."

A black limousine was moving to the club, then it stopped near the front of the club. Three seductive women wearing feathered coats came out. Alex stopped on his track and stared at them.

The three women walked to the entrance of the club, but Alex moved in front of them.

"It's dangerous for beautiful girls to move on this island without a powerful guard," said Alex with a smile.

Mari smiled and raised her right hand. Fire appeared over her palm. "Don't worry, Sir Alex, I can burn a rude man that doesn't know his place."

Mari's hair color was different. Yuno and Anne also had different hair colors.

"Hahahaha, I didn't know that I was even known by a beautiful girl like you. May I know your name and the other two beautiful girls?" asked Alex as he looked at them with a friendly smile. Yuno and Anne giggled, which made him happy.

"My name is Sheyla. They are Lulu and Casie. We are on vacation on the island, but we did not expect to see a surprising tournament."

Alex nodded his head. He crossed his arms and puffed his chest. He was waiting for Mari to continue to talk and compliment him, but she did not do it. The look of admiration that he was expecting from the three girls did not appear. "D-Did you watch my fight?" asked Alex as he pointed his finger to himself.

Mari chuckled."Sir Alex, we already saw fights like that. Our main purpose on the island is vacation, not the tournament."

"R-Really? Ha-Hahaha!" Alex awkwardly laughed as he scratched his head.

"We will be going in first," said Mari, then she continued walking to the club, followed by the two girls.

"Wait!" said Alex as he catched up. "You three really need a powerful guard. There are many high-level aura masters and magicians from powerful guilds on the island. They are the defeated participants of the tournament. Their moods are unstable and could cause trouble. I could volunteer myself to be your guard as you all move around the island."

Mari smiled when she heard him. She moved her head near Alex's ear and whispered,"Be careful with your words, Sir Alex. My fiancee is a fierce man."

Her sweet breath and perfume were smelled by Alex, which made his heart skip a beat. Mari kept smiling as she and the other two girls moved into the club.

Alex chuckled, then raised his left hand. A purple rose came out of his storage space and appeared on his hand. "Fiancee? So what? That won't be an obstacle to a man's beating heart. The knot is not yet tied."
