Black Clover: The Son of Fire Dragon Igneel

Chapter 485: SFDI - 485

Following the usual practice, the guest team was the first to appear at the Dark Martial Arts Tournament, and they weren’t given any time to rest at all.

In the 1v1 battle of five rounds and three wins, the first to appear for Team Urameshi wasn’t Hiei, who Drake had been looking forward to for a long time, but was instead Kuwabara.

After sleeping all the way, Kuwabara’s stamina had completely recovered, and he had woken up at the same time that the match had begun.

Team Urameshi could be said to be fighting on the other team’s turf in the truest sense of the word, and they had stirred up a chorus of pessimism from the entire arena even before they had been able to get on stage.

Kuwabara had put his hands in his pockets, muttering, and was about to get on stage. Suddenly, he had felt a familiar gaze, and had turned his head subconsciously, and had then seen Drake behind the window of the VIP room.

His eyes had widened in an instant, and Kuwabara had jumped up, saying, "Master Drake! Why would you appear here?"

Kuwabara had still been sleeping when Drake had seen them yesterday, and it was only now that he had discovered that Drake was also on the island.

And then his opponent, Rinku, had suddenly discovered that Kuwabara’s fighting spirit had erupted all of a sudden.

Kuwabara was very clear that he would be miserable later on if he didn’t perform well in this match. So he had looked over with eyes that had almost been emitting fire, and Rinku had been startled by him even before the match had begun.

After the catgirl referee had given the order, the first match of the Dark Martial Arts Tournament had officially begun.

Rinku looked like a child who was less than ten years old, but as a youkai, his age definitely couldn’t be determined through his appearance.

And the first lesson that Drake had taught Kuwabara was that he couldn’t determine his opponent’s strength through their appearance, so Kuwabara had been responding with all of his attention from the start.

A long sword that had been condensed from spirit power had appeared in his hand, and compared to before, the outline of the spirit power sword in Kuwabara’s hand was even clearer now, and there were even hamon patterns floating on the blade.

Drake didn’t really understand the training of spirit power, but spirit power and magic power were both forms of energy. Magic and spirit power techniques were the same in essence.

Kuwabara’s ability had made Drake think of a kind of magic, and that was creation magic.

Speaking of creation magic, what was the most memorable to everyone was naturally Gray’s Ice Make magic.

Releasing different abilities by shaping different forms, this was the essence of creation magic. And it could be completely applied to Kuwabara’s ability.

Although Drake wasn’t proficient in creation magic, it still wasn’t a problem for him to guide Kuwabara.

The most important things for creation magic were two points, one was imagination. As the most free kind of magic, the mage’s imagination determined the boundaries of creation magic.

And the second point was stability, only a stable form could unleash all of the magic’s power.

Imagination was a talent, and there was no way to train results in a short period of time, and Drake’s special training had mainly been targeted at Kuwabara’s spirit power amount and control, so as to enhance the stability of his spirit power condensation.

Rinku was still young after all, and hadn’t been able to see the level of Kuwabara’s hand, and had charged up recklessly just like that.

Actually, that was also because Rinku had looked for Team Urameshi to probe them before the competition with Shishiwakamaru, the ace of Team Rokuyukai, but Yusuke Urameshi and Kuwabara had been sleeping at that time, so Rinku hadn’t learned anything.

Rinku was short, and it was visible to the naked eye that he was a speed-type contestant. And that was indeed the case, Rinku had been jumping around, moving quickly on the arena.

Kurama, who had been below the stage, couldn’t help but worry, because it was hard for him to capture Rinku’s figure with his current strength.

But as Kuwabara’s master, Drake had yawned boredly. Although Rinku was very agile, there were too many flashy movements in Drake’s view.

If Kuwabara couldn’t even handle these acrobatics-like movements, he would be too unworthy of Drake’s guidance.

And Rinku also hadn’t unleashed his full power at all right now, and was more like he was playing around.

As expected, Kuwabara had turned his head, looking straight at one direction, and Rinku had also appeared there at the same time.

At the instant that their eyes had met, Rinku had dodged out subconsciously, and a sword mark had appeared in the location where he had been standing, and the hat that Rinku had been wearing on his head had also been split into two, falling on the ground.

Rinku had patted his chest, as if he was calming his rapidly beating heart.

He had indeed been responding to Kuwabara with an attitude of teasing him just now, but he had almost messed up. Just now, he had almost been cut in half with one slash.

But even so, he had said strangely, "That was really scary, I would have been killed if I had been unlucky!"

Kuwabara had opened his mouth, saying, "Stop joking around, you haven’t been serious from the start, have you? Are you looking down on this great self!"

Hiei had snorted coldly below the stage, and he didn’t agree with Kuwabara’s actions. In his view, using the enemy’s carelessness to resolve them with one sword was the most reasonable method, and it was clearly stupid to insist on battling an opponent with all of your power like Kuwabara was doing.

You could only say that what Hiei had experienced was completely different from Kuwabara, and the personal styles that had been created were also different, and there was no so-called right or wrong.

On the arena, Rinku had also adjusted his mindset, reaching out his hand, taking something out of his shoulder bag.

After taking a closer look, he actually had eight small yo-yos clipped between the fingers of both of his hands.

"Demon Yo-Yos!"

Rinku had directly flung out the yo-yos in his hands, and the eight yo-yos had shot towards Kuwabara at high speed like bullets.

The most terrifying thing was that the eight yo-yos had actually turned in mid-air, and the flight paths of the eight yo-yos were actually completely different.

Kuwabara had taken a deep breath, gripping the spirit power sword with both hands, and had then unleashed crisscrossing slashes.

Ding! Ding! Ding!...

After a series of sounds that had rung out almost simultaneously, the eight yo-yos had been bounced off at the same time, and Kuwabara had slashed all of the yo-yos that had been blasting over from various angles in an instant.

And at the same time, Kuwabara couldn’t help but recall the scene during his training.

...

Boom!

Kuwabara had widened his mouth after seeing the mushroom cloud that had risen up in the distance, and that had been created by the explosion of a small fireball, and there were a dozen or so of the same small fireballs floating before Drake.

"I would die if I didn’t dodge, right?" Kuwabara had said to himself involuntarily.

Drake had revealed a smile, saying, "Dodge? Who told you to dodge, use your spirit power sword to slash the fireballs apart!"

Kuwabara had shaken his head quickly, saying, "How is that possible? There’s no way that I can do something like that!"

Drake had opened his mouth, saying, "Of course I’m not telling you to do it by relying on your body’s reactions, make good use of your intuition!

The opponents that you’ll encounter in the future will all be using spirit power, and using your intuition to capture the attacks of your opponents, or them themselves, is the most basic thing."

Kuwabara had understood in a flash, condensing his spirit power sword, saying, "I understand, Master Drake, you can just attack, I’ll definitely be able to learn it."

...

His thoughts had returned, and Kuwabara had opened his mouth, saying, "This level is still far from enough! My highest record is ten!"

Rinku didn’t understand what Kuwabara meant by ten, and all he knew was that his situation was bad.

The match had ended quickly, Rinku’s Demon Yo-Yos couldn’t break through Kuwabara’s defense at all, and Kuwabara’s spirit power sword had been hovering next to Rinku’s neck in the end, forcing him to surrender on his own accord.

The next two matches had been the same as the original plot in Drake’s memories.

A youkai whose name even Drake had been too lazy to remember had threatened Kurama with his adoptive parents, and had indeed gained the advantage at first, but had then accidentally been planted with the seeds of a demon world plant by Kurama, and had ended up dying miserably in the arena.

Shishiwakamaru had also been burned, leaving only a black shadow after Hiei had summoned the demon world black flames, unleashing the Flame Killing Black Dragon Wave.

It had originally been five rounds and three wins, and the victor had already been determined. But how could the spectators in the arena have allowed Team Urameshi to advance just like that, and they had all begun to clamor.

So Yusuke Urameshi, who had woken up, had gotten on stage, carrying out the final battle with Chu, the last member of Team Rokuyukai.

As for the other two members of Team Rokuyukai... they had been killed by Chu because they had been frightened by Hiei, wanting to run away.

Drake had discovered that the people of the island country had a deep impression of the Drunken Fist of Eastern martial arts, and there had been several worlds with Drunken Fist in Drake’s memories alone.

Chu had also been using Drunken Fist, but his Drunken Fist was actually to increase his youkai power by increasing his drunkenness, and it was no different from drinking a potion to increase his power, it was just that what he was drinking was alcohol.

In Drake’s view, that and the Drunken Fist that he knew were completely two different things.

But apart from the nondescript Drunken Fist, Chu was still a qualified warrior. He had shown quite a bit of spirit in the "blade-to-blade duel" with Yusuke Urameshi in the end.

Unfortunately, he still couldn’t beat the protagonist halo in the end, and had lost to Yusuke Urameshi.

Team Urameshi had gone back to rest after winning, and the competition had also continued.

After seeing the first match, Stella had still had some change in her view of the Dark Martial Arts Tournament, after all, both sides had shown their level.

But the matches afterwards had made her mood turn completely bad.

The matches afterwards had all revolved around one theme, and that was bloodiness!

What the youkai had been pursuing in the arena wasn’t to train or show themselves, but was instead to vent their killing desires. Therefore, the strong had used all kinds of methods to abuse their opponents, and the weak had used all kinds of despicable means to plot against their enemies.

And every time bones were broken, limbs were flying, and blood was splattered, it would stimulate the spectators to cheer.

Drake had pulled Stella up, saying with a displeased expression, "There’s no need to watch this kind of competition, let’s leave!"

Drake had also regretted it, he hadn’t expected that the content that hadn’t been released for people to see in the original plot would actually be like this. This had even far exceeded Drake’s worst imagination.

As a warrior... even as a normal human, Stella also felt that she hated this place, so she had stood up along with Drake’s power, leaving the VIP seats together.

While leaving, the corner of Drake’s eye had seen the largest VIP room on the side.

His outstanding eyesight had allowed Drake to see Sakyo and a kind of big shot of the dark world inside the room through the window.

Sakyo still had a deadpan expression, but the others had all been talking and laughing with each other, but their eyes had all been tainted with a smear of scarlet.

It seemed that the bloody battles below had truly pleased these big shots!

No wonder Shinobu Sensui had had his personality split by reality, it turned out that the humans who had occupied a large amount of wealth and power were all this kind of trash who had even lost the basic knowledge of humans.

So Sakyo killing all of these guys could actually be considered... acting on behalf of heaven!

No matter what, Drake had decided that he would only watch Yusuke Urameshi and their matches afterwards.

After going to take a stroll in the demon world later on, Drake had intended to head to other worlds.
