Chapter 312 - 313 - The First Tournament – Finals – Second round – Part 4.
After his bizarre transformation, Rampage was now facing off against the Qiongqi form Long.
(Okay, I got to admit, this form is quite cool and catched me completely off guard.)
(But seriously right now, what the fuck is that?) – though Rampage while inspecting Long body.
(He is now some sort of tiger man, but he has also wings and horns as well as spikes? Seriously, what the hell is that?)
(I though he would…. I don't know… Transform into something more human like? Since he is martial artis and everything!)
(I mean, he is still somewhat human, so I bet he can still use those martial arts attacks and skills without problem.)
(But the problem are those weird spikes growing out from his body and wings.)
(Those wings are quite big, so I think he can fly…. And those spikes… How can he use them? Like offense and defense?)
(I honestly wouldn't be surprised at all if those spikes could be fired or something.)
(But then again, why didn't he took that form before?)
(Does that form have side effect like its consumes energy every second? Or maybe he just didn't-)
Long suddenly spread and launched himself forward towards Rampage.
"!"
(FAST!?) – though Rampage before quickly raising her shield to block the incoming attack.
Long's fist quickly hit Rampage shield and from the impact alone, Rampage could tell that Long strength ended up receiving a boost in power.
"[Power Punch]!"
Long quickly punched Rampage shield again, this time shaking the shield upon the impact.
"[Wall Spike]!"
The great shield wielded by the Rampage suddenly manifested a giant spike and launched it towards the Long who instantly moved both of his arms to form a guard.
Long got hit by the attack and got pushed back, but his guard was not broken, resulting in him blocking some of the damage.
"[Power Kick]!"
Long quickly launched his counter attack by launching his kick towards Rampage, however somewhat blocking the attack with her lance.
"[Bloody Vomit]!"
Rampage cheeks suddenly swelled up before then vomiting a steam of blood at the Long, hitting him and sending him flying.
"?!" – surprised Long quickly dig his claws into the ground and stopped himself from being pushed too far.
"The hell was that?!" – asked confused Long.
"Em…. Vomit of blood?"
[Bloody Marauder] – [Class] – [Rarity: Rare] – [Obtained: Demonic kingdom – bough a class book.]
[A class that specializes in the use of blood magic and uses the user HP as main source fuel. Class has a magic warrior build.]

[Target hit with [Bloody Puke] will have their healing ability received reduced as well as regeneration.]
(Still, I didn't wanted to use that skill on him.) – though Rampage while wiping off her mouth.
(This skills sucks, like a lot, to the point that if you don't have any self-healing or regeneration, this skill is straight up trash.)
(But for me? It's quite useful.)
(Still, that bastard physical abilities including defense, attack and speed got a noticeable boost. I though he would get bit slower considering how much bigger he got.)
"[Bloody Reckless: Fight]!"
Rampage emitted a red glow from her body before quickly charging towards Long.
She tried thrusting her lance towards Long, be he saw it coming and quickly dodged before landing a counterattack with a fist right in the Rampage fist.
"…"
"Heh." – said Rampage while smiling.

"Tch."
"[Metal Glory]!"
Long had finally activated the [Metal Glory], covering his entire body in metallic like shell.
After activating his skill, Long rushed towards Rampage, but that was a mistake.
"[Bloody Guts]!"
Rampage released a wave of the exploding bloody energy around herself in close distance, but hitting the Long who was straight up right next to her.
The explosion hit Long perfect, but Long then tried to counter attack with the [Turtle Snake Fist] that released a two wave attack, one that resembles a shotgun shot and the second a long range shot.
The attacks connected and Long could tell, but the next thing he knew was the Rampage using the [Rhino Charge] and quickly clashing into Long and sending him flying.
"Again, with this shit?!" – shouted Long, getting annoyed with the knockbacks and the charges attacks.
"?!"
Before Long realized, he was slashed across his chest with the [Blood Weapon - Slash], creating a long range slash using Rampage bloody and her lance.
Rampage then rushed towards Long, but Long had also made his move and rushed towards Rampage.
Rampage prepared to thrust her spear while Long prepared his punch.
This time it seemed like Rampage attack would strike first, but Long speed has also increased beside his power, allowing him to land a powerful punch right in the Rampage face and dodging her spear, before then putting his hands around Rampage head and dragging it, slamming her head against his knee.
"Tch!"
Rampage swinged her lance, trying to hit Long, but he got extremely low and stood on all fours before swinging his arm, hitting Rampage in the legs and damaging her balance.
After damaging her balance and dogging the lance, Long tried going for the Rampage throat by slashing it with his claws, but Rampage opened her mouth and just bit the monster man claws, and even making crunch noise.
"?!"
"YOU BITCH!" – shouted Long Before landing a quick and powerful punch in the Rampage stomach.
The attack made Rampage teethes let go of the man fingers, allowing him to retract them before then trying to use his other hand to attack, but before he could do that, he got hit with [Shield Crash], dealing massive amount of damage and stopping the man attack before the two of them rushed at each other with Rampage lance and Long fists coming towards each other.
Once again, Long attack was way faster, managing to hit Rampage right in the liver and dodging her lance, before then trying to land a second attack on but being surprising catched off guard as Rampage spear was way too close.
"?!"
(She took the attack on purpose this time?!)
Without any option left, Long was forced to use his other arm to block and take the hit instead of his chest, but he did not gave up as he launched his other fist, but managing to hit as Rampage saw and predicted attack, allowing her to block it with her shield.
Long tried to knock away the Rampage lance away that was stabbing into the Long arm, but as soon as the Long swinged his arm, the lance went flying, alarming Long as he instantly realized it was too easy.
Rampage let go of her lance as she got closer towards Long and quickly created a set of bloody claws before stabbing into long stomach.
"?!" – Long was catched off guard by the attack, however with his quick thinking he grabbed Rampage body with his giant hand and used his other hand to hit her right in the back with elbow enchanted with the skill, dealing huge amount of damage.
However, Rampage did not tried defending herself and she even let go of her shield that was being held by her other arm, before then sprouting a second set of the bloody claws and stabbing him right in the chest.
After that, Rampage straight up lifted up Long in the air, right above her, catching Long completely by surprise with this action, before throwing on the ground while removing her claws from him.
Long quickly got up, but the next thing he saw was-
"[Breaking Blood]!"
Rampage swinged with her fist, punching Long right in the face, creating an explosion of blood because of her skill that caused Long to get blown away and get rolling on the ground.
But that action triggered Long who quickly put his claws into the ground, quickly regaining himself before the swiping the air with his tail and firing a bunch of spike projectiles from it towards the Rampage, but not managing to really hit her as she quickly recovered her shield and blocked the attack.
After blocking the attack, Rampage quickly rushed picked up her lance, completely reaming herself.
"…."
"Heh."
"You are getting desperate, aren't you?" – asked Rampage while smiling.
"…"
"Its no use that whole silence treatment and stuff, your reaction has already betrayed you."
"Honestly, I still don't get that entire bizarre transformation of yours, but its obvious that it had gave you some quiet huge power boost."
"Not only that, you are also using the [Metal Mage] class to give yourself both a huge boost in power and defense, so even harming you is extremely problematic."
"But you want to hear something funny mate?"
"?!"
Long suddenly stepped away as he noticed the weird orange smoke began leaving Rampage body.
"…. No fuking way." – said GreyHunt as he and ClownFrog observed the fight with their eyes wide open as soon as they saw weird changes happening with Rampage.
"You are fun!"
"And you are the first proper challenge I FUKING HAD IN THIS ENTIRE TOURNAMENT!"
"I THINK I WILL FUKING GO AND START GOING ALL OUT BITCH!"
The huge amount of orange smoke like energy began leaving Rampage body before disappearing.
[You are gluttons.]
[You want more and more, without knowing carrying about yourself.]
[You have manifested with your own power the sins in the dormant state.]
[You have obtained [Dormant Gluttony].]
"NOW YOU MISTER MOTHERFUCKING LONG!"
"DON'T FUKING DARE TO DISSAPOINT ME!"
"!"
(She is coming!)
"[Satisfaction Of Blood]!"
Rampage released a huge amount of blood elemental mana from her body.
[Satisfaction Of Blood].
[Skill belonging to the [True Noble Vampire].]
[Increase the user max HP based on the noble rank.]
[Increase user HP and SP regeneration speed based on [True Noble Vampire] class level and rank.]
"?!"
(She is healing at rapid rate?!) – though Long as he saw Rampage wounds closing.
Rampage once again began charging towards Long who had also once again charged at her.
"[Qiongqi Claw]!" – Long entire arm grew larger before then swinging it towards Rampage who used her shield to block the attack, but was visible shaken by the attack before then having Long hand return to normal after the attack.
Long quickly fallowed up with the [Turtle Snake Whip], sending a quick palm strike that hit Rampage right in the face, but not managing to knock her out or lose her balance.
"?!"
Long looked up and saw the Rampage lance was piercing right into the Long foot, before moments later Long head was grabbed by Rampage hand and then dragged before getting smashed into lance grip.
After that, Lance quickly grabbed her lance and tried slashing Long with it, But long used his wings and jump to quickly get away, dodging the attack perfectly.
"Tch."
(Those wings of his aren't just for show.) – Though Rampage.
"…."
(Shit.)
(I want to say I'm winning, but that isn't the case.) – though Long.
(That woman not only possess an extremely high defense, but also an extremely annoying self-healing ability.)
(She is straiting to fight completely reckless and doesn't care if she is attacked anymore and only cares about dealing damage to me.)
(And to make things annoying, that stupid tactic of hers works!)
(I need to be way more careful now or she may do some sort of self-destruct attack next.)
Long used skill [Qiongqi Quills], sprouting several spike quills from his hand before then throwing them towards Rampage, forcing her to use her shield to block the barrage of projectiles, but while that was happening, Long leaped high into the air with the help of his wings before then diving straight towards Rampage while using skill [Axe Leg].
However, Rampage noticed him and quickly jumped away before Long landed in her location, straight up shattering the ground with his attack done with the leg.
Long quickly looked towards Rampage location, but the next thing he saw was the tip of her lance right in front of his face, forcing him tilt his head to the right and barely dodging the lance that was extended by the Rampage.
Rampage then quickly retracted her lance and rushed towards Long who used skill [Fist Pistole] to fire his fist attack as long range attack, hitting Rampage, but not stopping her.
Rampage rushed with the skill [Piercing Spear] activated before then thrusting it towards Long, but not managing to hit him as he jumped over Rampage and landed right behind her.
Long then spined around and tried hitting Rampage with his back hand, but as soon as he tried to do that, he got hit with shield right in the enchanted with [Shield Strike].
Long smacked the shield away with his claws, but as soon as he did that, Rampage head came towards him and straight up headbutted him right in his mouth before then smacking him with the lance, but getting quickly counter attacked with Long [Brick Breaking Fist] right in the face, causing both of them to take damage before pushing each other away.
However as soon as they did that, Rampage did not waited a second and straight up leaped towards him, but Long quickly spread his wings and jumped high and flew in the sky.
(Shit!)
(The damage is stacking too much.)
(Does she really plans on killing me by killing herself?!)
(I really don't want her time to recover, but I need to have her-)
Rampage sprouted a pair of giant bat wings from her back and quickly gave chase after the Long.
"?!"
(She can fly?! That fuking train can fly?!)
Long began spinning vertically at rapid rate, unleashing a barrage of the spikes that flew towards Rampage, but she did not cared. Rampage did not cared at all if she got hit at all, she didn't even tried to block the attacks before then ramming into spinning Long that resulted in him stopping spinning and losing the balance in the air while still being held by Rampage who was now straight up pluming towards the ground, alarming the Long who saw that.
Long began kicking, punching and even stabbing Ramage with his tail, but nothing was working.
"Shit! Let go!" – shouted panicking Long while trying to get rid of Rampage who would not get pushed away at all.
Before long, both of them ended up crashing into the ground pretty hard to the point a lot of dust was create, however the cloud of dust was quickly got rid by the two combatants as they both were now standing on their feets and were ready to attack.
"[Turtle Slayer]!"
Long launched his forward, but was easily counter by Rampage shield and skill [Shield Counter].
"?!"
(What?!)
(How the hell she knew it?!)
Long was completely shocked as Rampage somehow managed to predict his action and even knocked his fist away, making him vurnable for a moment, but Long already had launched [Tiger Slayer] the moment later after using [Turtle Slayer] but.
"?!"
Rampage dodged the attack and counter attacked with the [Piercing Lance] right into Long stomach.
"H-how?!"
(She saw my second attack coming as well?!)
"Tch!"
"[Qiongqi Armor]!"
Long body sprouted several spikes all across his body before then firing in all directions, hitting Rampage and having several spikes stick out from her and even hitting her right in her left eye.
But she did not cared to the point that Long expression was now full with fear as he saw that "Thing" just not dying at all and only thinking about killing him.
However, this wasn't the biggest problem right now.
The biggest problem right now was the fact that the Rampage lance was still piercing through Long body.
"[Spear Advance]."
A beam of rough physical power shot out through the lance, piercing through Long body and dealing critical amount of damage.
Ramage then dragged her lance down, forcing Long to get on his knee before then opening her mouth and biting into the Long's neck.
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" – Long screamed as Rampage bit into his neck.
"LET GO OF ME YOU FUKING LEACH LIKE BITCH!" – Shouted Long as he began punching Rampage head, however Rampage did not cared at all, even when Long was using skills to punch her right in the head. Rampage did not cared one bit and continues sinking her fangs into Long body as he continues struggle.
"…."
"[Vampire Execution]!"
A burst of blood suddenly burseted out from the opposing end of the Long body where the Rampage lance was.
Massive amount of blood burseted out from the Long body, before moments later Rampage removed both her fangs and lance from the Long body.
Moments later, the exhausted Long almost fallen face first onto the ground while on his knees, barely managing to stop himself by putting his hands on the ground.
"[Shield Smash]."
"?!"
Before Long could even move or look up, Rampage shield came from above and hit him right in the neck and making Long entire body hit the ground.
"[Wall Burst]."
"!?"
Rampage shield began vibrating before then unleashing a wave of energy around itself and the next moment, Long had completely stopped struggling as well as having his metallic cover completely fade from his body.
Exactly moment later, his entire body stopped moving.
[Player Long has died.]
[The winner: Rampage!]
"Good game, you bitch!" – said Rampage while smiling like madman.
