Chapter 262: Damned Arena

Date- 27 Mar 2321

Time- 11:13

Location- Sky Blossom City, Sky Blossom Card Stadium, Somewhere in the sky

“How long are you planning to stay hidden? All of your subordinates will be slaughtered soon.” Anna leisurely stood 1700 meters above the Card stadium in the sky.

“…”

“Old geezer, come out I can smell your rotten cunt all the way up here” Anna yelled at the empty sky.

“My My it seems the rumours about the southern emperor lacking proper manners due to a lack of father figure is true. Let me teach you some manners in your father’s stead.” A mysterious husky voice sounded in the sky in response to Anna’s taunt.

“Oh really! Then you won’t mind me calling you daddy, right daddy!” Anna playfully called the mysterious voice, daddy.

“Haha! Your voice is more seducing than a siren’s. Come baby girl let daddy teach you some grown-up stuff.” The mysterious voice sounded more excited and louder as a figure of an old man dressed in a white cassock revealed himself seated on a throne made of clouds.

“I’m coming daddy! Damned Arena!” Reaching within a 1km radius of the old man, Anna activated a card. And the next second Anna and the old man vanished from the sky above the Card stadium.

…

“Fuq! Where is this goddamn place? I cannot feel an ounce of soul energy in the atmosphere.” The old man in a white cassock yelled in anger seeing his surroundings change to a gladiator arena from a beautiful serene sky.

“Daddy, this is one of my field card’s Damned Arena. Here neither you nor I can make use of our grimoire or soul energy.” Anna answered the Old man.

“Fuq! I really can’t summon my grimoire or feel soul energy in here. You crazy bitch why would you do this? How do I get out of this forsaken place?” The old man did not believe Anna’s words so tried summoning his memoir and mobilizing his soul energy. Realising what Anna said was true and understanding the dangerous situation he was in the old man finally lost his composure and grew frantic.

“What happened daddy? I thought you were going to teach me some grown-up stuff. So I found a place where nobody would interrupt us.” Anna teased the agitated old man.

“Shut up you cheap slut, I command you to send me out of this place right now.” The old man tried various ways to mobilize his soul energy or call upon his grimoire but all his efforts yielded no results. The old man finally became desperate and no longer knew what he was saying.

Right now the old man felt like a fish out of water. Having spent his entire life leading and mastering soul energy, soul energy has become more like addiction to the old man. The old man was so dependent on soul energy, cards and grimoire that right now he was showcasing withdrawal symptoms similar to a drug addict.

Though both Anna and the old man were of card emperor realm. Anna was young and had a few more centuries to live while the old man was nearing his final years. This is why the appearance of Anna looked as if she was in her 20’s and the old man looked like he was at least 80 years old. Having lived centuries dependent on soul energy and cards right now the old man was desperate and grew hysterical like a junkie who was denied his last smoke.

“Send me out of here! Send me out of her you bitch! Send me out of here.” The old man was no longer sane. He completely lost his reason and common sense as he ran towards Anna trying to attack her.

*Bang**Thud**Cough**Cough*

Anna balled her fist and slammed into the face of the incoming old geezer’s throat, knocking him to the ground. The old geezer coughed uncontrollably, finding it hard to breathe and gasped to breathe in as much air as possible.

“Daddy, have patients! Do ruin my fun by dying so easily.” Anna walked to the walls of the arena where different kinds of weapons were stacked for the gladiators to use. Picking up a sword and a hammer. Anna returned next to the trembling old man, who just kept mumbling, “send me back! Send me back! Send me back!”

“Here, take this sword daddy. As long as one of us is dead the other person can leave this place, daddy. Now pick up the sword and kill me if you want to go back.” Anna finally showed the old man the way to leave this Damned Arena.

The old man who seemed to have lost all reasoning finally found some hope hearing Anna’s words. His eyes glowed fiercely as he picked up the sword and sang it at Anna. Anna dodged all the old man’s advances easily. Swinging his sword 16 times, the old man was exhausted. Losing connection to soul energy and grimoire Old man was now a mortal and his straight was right now equal to an 80 years old human male. The sword was about 5.5 kgs it was already so prestigious that the old man was able to swing it 16 times continuously.

“Daddy, why are you so weak? Are you one of those domesticated card apprentices and a range type at that? Sigh such a letdown. No wonder you acted like a fish out of water losing contact with the grimoire. And here I was expecting to have a true duel between us.” Anna sighed in disappointment realising that the Old man was a domesticated Card apprentice.

“Southern Emperor, I am sorry. Please let me go. I will give you all of my possessions in return for my life, please forgive my sin and leave a way for me to live.” Slowly adapting to his new environment the old man chained some reasoning and started begging for his life, realising that he could never defeat Anna in this damned arena.

“That’s not possible daddy! All the people who visited this arena are dead…. Oh! Looks like more guests have arrived. Daddy, I have to go welcome them. So I will make this quick.” Anna started to hammer the old man into a meat patty sensing the arrival of the new foe’s outside in the real world.

…

“How dare you capital garbage step in my territory? Wasn’t I clear last time!” Coming out of the damned arena Anna thundered at the incoming hovercar

Hearing Anna’s voice the hovercar came to a halt. And within the hovercar Brandon and his uncle’s face became unsightly. “What the fuq is she doing here? Was our mission leaked?” Brandon asked his uncle in distress.
