Chapter 48: Puppets Part 1

Cassie Rose continued to watch the match before her as she continues to pet Winslow. So far, this Tournament has been boring in comparison to what she can do.

But she's nothing compared to Jess. It doesn't matter if she fights harder, Jess fights smarter.

She looks to her cloaked escort to her left, glancing at the rings on her fingers that have demonic effects as they're disturbing to look at.

'Soon it will finally happen, and everything will fall into place...' she thought excitedly as she glanced at her left, looking at the one armed, cloaked girl. 'then I can finally get rid of you...'

Winslow glanced up at his master, his eyes flashed crimson for a brief second as he sent a mental message to her. '...'

'I know, I know.' She reassured. 'I'll be patient...'

"Now, for our next fight...!" the announcer pulled down a name form above. "The late entry, Jeimass, versus..." he pulled down another. "The Order of the Pig!"

The grey-cloaked girl raised an eyebrow at the declaration, but immediately shrugged it off. She walked to the teleporting rune and was transported to the battlefield; which has now became a flat desert.

Jesse faced his friends. "Remember, once we beat her, we forfeit the match so Gill can win."

"Still, it's going to be a bit sad we don't get anything out of this..." said Axel.

Olivia slapped her soon-to-be husband on the shoulder, giving him a mild glare. "We are. We're getting Jennifer back, and possibly Jess."

"We will." Reassured Petra. "That girl, Jeimass, should be easy to beat. Her level is way lower than ours."

"Not to mention she doesn't have a lot of muscle mass," Said Axel. Using physical combat all the time does give you insight of the body. "Which could mean that she doesn't do a lot of physical combat."

"Or she heavily uses magic." Warned Jesse. "We still don't know what her Class does, so we end this quickly, and don't kill her. She can respawn in the Tournament, but I don't like killing."

They all nodded. One by one they stood on the rune and teleported down to the battlefield, leaving Gill all alone as he pondered his dreadful thoughts.

They stood on one side as their opponent stood the opposite. The announcer was in the middle of them, talking at a normal volume.

"Remember: everything is allowed, and don't worry about affecting the audience." He gestured towards the transparent field above them, giving them a smile. "Go nuts, and give the crowd a good show!"

He then teleported out as the competitors pulled out their weapons. Jesse and Axel never really used any combat equipment since the former uses magic, and the latter uses his fists.

Petra pulled out her iron daggers, and Olivia simply stood behind everyone as she adjusts the straps on her backpack; containing various redstone related materials.

"Remember everyone," Whispered Jesse. "We end this quick."

They all nodded, double-checking their iron armor as they watched Jeimass pulled out something form within her sleeve, briefly exposing her bandaged arms.

Two chests. She placed both of them on the ground; one on her left and another on the right.

"FIGHT!" The announcer's voice boomed.

Quickly, various materials floated from the chests; wrapping, linking, and locking in with each other to form five humanoid constructs that are two blocks tall.
