Hello everyone! Welcome back to another chapter of Lustful Colosseum!
Last time we left off we told the story of our brave noodle becoming a Paladin of the Order of Ozmis.
But now the tantalizing prize of Artifacts to improve his skills as a light magic user is also in his grasp. All he has to do is defeat his former opponent that had shamed him all those months ago and the prize is his.
It seems like Succubus Cinder's plan has been coming along swimmingly. The set up is there and now all that it calls for is for Jaune to win.
But you know what they say... A plan does not survive first contact with the enemy.
So enough of me yapping, let's get this party started!
I don't own RWBY or any of its properties...
Chapter 3: Knightshade Knockout
(Outside the Colosseum)
The air inside the giant cavern was filled with excitement as monsters of all kinds quickly moved to get to their seats for the festivities. Rough looking human warriors and mercenaries, lizardmen, and long eared elves looked eager to enjoy the slugfest of the colosseum, hoping to enjoy the fights as entertainment.
While more primal creatures that give into their instincts like the thunder footing trolls, bull headed minotaur's, and the massive one eyed cyclopes only looked forward to the sinful pleasure of copulation and the sight of sex that is bound to happen on this day.
Other daring creatures went to the betting booths to place their money into the betting pool, hoping that their chosen fighters would win them a whole lot of coin. Others like Gremlins and Dwarves decided to go big or go home by gambling away gems and other types of expensive metal ingots that would cost a fortune to others
The shouting shrilled cries of some of the Goblins hurt the hearing of both sets of ears from Blake. They were definitely loud creatures that's for sure, loud annoying green men, and it didn't help that right now her senses were extremely sensitive. So that everything that she heard or smelt was a thousand times more loud and potent, irritating her to no end.
"Of course... that's nothing to compared what I'm currently feeling right now!" Her thoughts scream as her form shook from the throbbing pain that was racking her. She couldn't help the shallow breaths that she was giving out right now.
Her heat had finally arrived in full force now, and decided to rear its ugly head when the matches were just on the horizon for her and her friends.
Of course this was her first time going into heat so she had no reference before she left her home island.
Suffice to say... the feeling was unbearable.
The feline warriors body was like a walking inferno on the inside, blooms of heat that felt like a firebomb going off in her stomach were happening inside her body currently. Her skin was extra sensitive as her puffy pink nipples were scraping the inside of her armor, like twin peaks that were hard as diamond. The sudden stimulation caused her little jolts of pleasure and pain in her armor.
A mixture of hellish torture and wonderful delight, truly she was cursed to suffer in her own skin.
However her leather armor teasing her was poultry compared to the excruciating heated pain, down in her heated cunt, and her loincloth her gatekeeper.
But in her opinion...The piece of cloth was all she had to keep the culprit of her misery locked away, and even then it felt futile.
It felt like torture... After her win at the colosseum and her little... private session in that one of the bedrooms. Blake and her friends went to have drinks at the nearby tavern.
Drinking until she was a little tipsy aside, the cool cider that she had at bar did not soothe the beginning fires of her premature heat. In fact, Blake thought the fruits in the drink probably pushed the feline warrior into her actual heat mating period.
When she finally departed from her friends, the first couple of days weren't so bad as she explored some caverns. Finding abandoned treasures to sell and eliminated some Skeletons and other undead monsters like Zombies and Wraiths thanks to her dark magic abilities to duplicate for a short time and skills with her spear weapon, those mindless creatures stood no chance against her.
She did feel sorry for just taking the gold coins from these so called tombs, adventurers do tend to parish on their journeys in certain areas and it just appeared that some of these people just happen to choose the wrong cave to stay in for one day.
Though... she does have to make some kind of living. With the money she spent with the archeologist and the expenses paid to lodge and eat her exploring did pay some hefty coin along with those fights in the ring, enough to be somewhat comfy.
However her luxury went to screeching halt as her biology is now fighting against her. As now anytime she went to rest or wasn't in conflict, her body couldn't resist the temptation of rubbing herself raw.
Whether it be it during the early morning, her training session's in the afternoon while traveling, or even during dinner time and having to gather food the heat still persistently festered like a cancer. It embarrassed her to end that every time she needed some kind of relief, she started masturbating using her fingers and using her tail as some kind of imitation of a huge soothing cock.
It was shameful, her slit couldn't help the mess she made when getting herself off, her howling cries of agony and slight relief.
However it just wasn't enough for her. No matter how many times she had relieved herself, the heat kept coming back to torment her. The Gato woman couldn't help the dreams when she was asleep, lucid ones full of lust and steamy sex, powerful men whether they be Gato men, humans, or even monsters. It didn't matter because the only thing that was on Blake's mind was the biggest, fattest cock plowing into her tight cunt over and over again, plowing into her like a bitch in heat, and releasing the gooey creamy payload to soothe this nightmarish cycle.
After that horrible dream, The feline woman just couldn't help herself, night after night of rubbing herself raw, but to no needed relief.
Blake finally was getting to a breaking point. She needed to go find Weiss's friend to obtain some type of remedy and she needed to go now before she just gave herself to some random creature or person like some cheap whore in a shady town.
The trip was quite long, and during that time Blake thought a decent remedy to help her was when she was bathing in the nearby natural springs that she happened to camp by when traveling towards Weiss's elven hometown. The feline woman was hoping that maybe the refreshing water of nature would cool off her heated body, bring some kind of relief from the torturous cycle she has to deal with.
At first, the cool reflection liquid made her tremble thanks to her sensitive body. She sighed out in slight relief as she tried to relax. The effects of the spring water's properties soothing her at first. Lower her temperature and her instinctual mood to rub herself was fading.
She could breath out a sigh, finally she could bathe in peace...
Or so she thought...
Her body started to acclimate to the cold spring, and after a couple of relaxing minutes she could feel the warmth of her body return in full force.
"Why does it keep coming back?" She wailed internally, she tried to think of other things to keep her mind off of the lewd scenarios that kept popping up in her gutter brained mind.
But it was all for naught, while the spring felt refreshing to her. The Belladonna woman couldn't help cave into her own desires, sliding her fingers into her slit in a practiced motion. Her tail a pseudo dick to plug her weeping hole, only to become dissatisfied when she climaxed, missing the final ingredient to soothe her body.
Blake felt on the verge of just giving up, of letting a random male to just take her and free her from the torment of her cycle.
After that stay in the spring and a little more traveling. The feline warrior had fortune smile upon her weary body, as she finally reached the Elven forest of Nefenor, Weiss's home town and home to the White Haired Elven tribe.
Weiss's birth town was interesting to say the least. The gigantic trees making up the forest acted as homes. The trees themself looked sturdy places to live, and they definitely looked like they have been taken care of by the elven people as she could see the dark healthy color of green on each gigantic branch of the sturdy wood.
They also look to be pretty old homes. She had read that the forests of any kind of elven people had been around for millennial. Each new generation of the people taking care of older trees either through nurturing the homes by watering and nature, or through the means of earth magic.
Either practice Blake never understood. She never was much of an alchemist or mage, so that kind of magic practice she was clueless about. Suddenly the throbbing of her core started to irritate her, wincing as she felt her heat again and the reason she came to Weiss's home.
As she was searching for the druid that her friend pointed out. Blake couldn't help but notice how the differences and similarities that Weiss's people had. The pointed ears, thin stringy stature, and white flowing hair were dead giveaways as to see that they were definitely Northern Saunus Elves.
However with Blake's heightened senses, she could definitely tell her friend apart from most of these elves. Some had greenish coloring around their white hair to darken it, signifying being apart of the woods for so long. Some had longer pointed ears, others with honey colored eyes and some with even light violet eye shades. Specifically the attractive looking men of the population.
The feline warrior couldn't help but admire their bodies. Their warriors were lean, but muscular and athletic. Built for speed and flexibility, with a little feminine looks too them, but mixed in with the masculine charm.
"Oh what I wouldn't give to have them crash those strong hips into mine..." She started panting out like a animal thirsty for water.
However the thought came in a flash, before she poked at her arms so hard that little bloodspots came from her clawed nails, getting her out of her daydreams.
This was bad, she needed to find Weiss's druid friend, and fast before she did something highly shameful like relieving herself in some part of the forest.
Blake asked directions for the druid from the other elves. They were surprisingly friendly towards her despite being a stranger to their homes, and they weren't too overtly hostile. Guess they get passing travelers and visitors pretty often if these types of elves are more friendly towards random people.
But besides that, they were nice enough to point her in the direction towards the central part of town where the biggest tree was located at. The tree to the left was where his home was located, and since he is one of the more important figures in the town, his status as a healer has given him favor to live in a bit luxury next to the the high council of the northern Saunus elves.
When she finally got to the forest home, she looked around for the druid in the front, hoping to see him. But only saw beakers and some crafting station for alchemy, along with numerous amounts of ingredients from different plants, animals, and minerals all over in neatly covered bottles and glass beakers.
Blake was able to get look at the old man, the druid definitely had a more bizarre looking compared to your average white haired elf. Considering that he had some bright orange hair instead the typical white like the others, and had a full grown deer's pelt on his head, acting like a sort of cape for the older elven man, along with a staff made of what looked like a sturdy white wood, wrapped in the middle of the staff was a glowing emerald gem that radiated power. The feline warrior could just feel it from here, the stone just gave her goosebumps by being in its presence.
The druid introduced himself as Klein, and asked the young feline woman what brought her to his humble abode.
Immediately Blake told the druid of how she found him thanks to his relation to Weiss Schnee the Ice Mage, and what her certain... problem was doing to her body.
Being around for years Klein knew what kind of situation the young lady was in, and quickly deduced that she was dealing with her natural mating cycle.
'How did you know?' Blake was surprised and asked him how he knew about their cycles, usually it isn't common knowledge since most of her people don't leave their home islands too often, well as far as she knew anyway.
Klein explained that another Gato female had came to him years ago with the same mating season issue. He had studied on their remedies during his years of traveling, finding out about the chemical makeup and ingredients different potions and elixirs. Turns out that a Gato heat resistance potion have the same compounds of a Cave Hydra Paralysis cure.
Just one extra ingredient and some interesting incantations to mix into the liquid and there you have it. You have a heat resistance potion ready for consumption.
Blake quickly went to her pouch, grabbing the almost half empty bottle that she obtained from Klein, remembering the formula by memory, the items that he pulled out to make this.
She just couldn't believe it was that simple! The fact that he made the resistance potion so quickly was mind boggling to her.
The process was interesting to the feline woman. She observed Klein, watched him take it out of some strange flower petals from one of the jars.
It was a red plant called a Wild Tiger, a sort of plant that you'd find on a near her island home as she remembered seeing this kinds of flowers near the shoreline as it kept this wild red coloring on the edges with the insides being a dark purple and white to give this interesting pigment.
That was one of the only ingredients she was able to recognize from a visual standpoint. The other bizarre items were nectar from a high voltage electricity tree named Thunderhead Oak native to the land of Anima, water from a location nearby called The Emerald Dragon Den apparently the water supply was full of magical properties thanks to the legendary creatures of nature, and to finish it off the potion some dust residue of the pixies around the Northern part of Saunus.
Unfortunately there was a catch for Blake that Klein explained.
'Despite my best efforts young Gato. While I have technically made you a potion that can contain your heat, I am afraid it is only temporary.' That comment certainly broke her heart. She remembered almost lashing out at the elven man, but chose to cool down after Klein's next comment.
'I apologize young one. Really this potion is only made to resist the painful racking's of your body when your cycle becomes too painful to bare.' Blake remembered being told. 'There's not really a true remedy to stop your mating period outright with all of my potions, only a way to cause your suffering to lessen.' Blake didn't hate the elf for not finding a true solution it was never his fault.
No... It was her damn bodies fault. Why did she have to go into heat like some feral animal? Why couldn't it happen to some kind of other race of monsters. Like those gold grubbing kobolds, those short lizard midgets swindlers and their gremlin masters tried to skirt in repairing her spear: Nightshade
Luckily she found a blacksmith that treated her weapon with respect. When she put her magical energy into her trusty weapon, the dark miasma of shadow magic covered the metallic head in her power.
Thank the gods she could trust someone for repairs. The deities must have it out for her for some reason these past two weeks with all of these issues in her life. From her early mating season start, to the annoyances of fighting undead enemies when she was treasure hunting, and finally her miserable travels to Weiss's homeland since it was raining most of the time.
Definitely not the best couple of weeks to spend alone time, she could really use a pick-me-up from Weiss and Yang right now, and another tournament was definitely what she needed, especially for what is on the line for this match.
Blake just hoped her body would behave.
But the certain blooming of heat told her otherwise...
The feline woman felt the pulse through her body as she cursed her own reproductive cycle, putting a hand on her stomach. This time it was a strong pulse as it left her wincing and breathless, her lower belly felt like it was twisting and turning with her cheeks becoming red and flushed as the result to her cycle again.
'No... this is worse than the normal restrained pulses.' Usually at this stage she needs to take the heat resistance potion when it gets this bad. But her body should still be affected from yesterday's swing that she took.
'The only thing that could be the cause of this is...' Was the potion's properties getting weaker? That could be the answer since its been since yesterday that she even took the drink of the potion, and yet her body was still feeling a tingling sensation of sensitivity from her heated form. So perhaps her usual dosage of a couple of sips was only delaying her full blown season coming in full force, and now that she was almost in the middle of her mating period...
The usual drink will not be enough to stop a full blown reaction. Blake looked at the bottle in thought, maybe a bigger swig of the potion was the solution. She only had half the bottle left, so perhaps drinking the rest of this will get her through the Colosseum match and maybe a couple of days of relief.
'But if I do... then I might have to go back to Weiss's elf friend and restock on this stuff.' Blake thought as she swirled the liquid medicine around. "That's a long trip as it is just for some heat medicine." She winced once more in pain as a particularly hard pulse made her stomach ache and her pussy lips throb and start to moisten once again through her cloth.
"Damnit." She cursed, panting out in pain, this was definitely an exhausting chore for Blake. The matches were going to happen soon in the arena, and the last thing she wants to do is lose when she is getting close to the wish with the Succubus Queen. The feline warrior will be damned if she was gonna let a little mating season heat stop her in her tracks right now. "Guess I don't have a choice in the matter." She panted out, holding out the green glass with a green liquid concoction inside and uncorking the bottle. Blake couldn't be held back in this fight, she needed her answers and she was going to get them by winning against this knight.
She drank the rest of the potion to stop the pain, emptying the bottle from all its contents. Gasping from drinking the rest of it down, she put the empty bottle back in her pouch so that she can maybe use it for another fill of it later. Blake felt her body give up the ghost for now, the heat disappearing for the moment.
"Good... Its gone... for now." Blake whispered as she finally started moving into the colosseum, no pain inflicting her. She really didn't want to use up all of the potion right now, but the swigs of relief weren't cutting it now.
'Lets just hope that last dose will last the whole day.' With her control back, she headed towards fighters waiting arena with confidence in her stride, she was going to win today against Jaune, the feline felt her fighting instincts come alive at the prospect of winning another match.
Little did she know, a certain raven haired Succubus was watching the feline warrior the whole time all thanks to her wonderful spell Glass Eye, thanks to it she can plant a sort of sentry anywhere, watching almost anything within and outside the arena, and luckily during her watch phase she able to see the form of her quarry.
A smirk plastered on her face as she saw her target now accept her fate, coming here to the ring today.
The stage was now set for her plan, and now all that was left to do is let the dice of fate roll where they may.
But Cinder already had a feeling that fate was already smiling upon her powerful form today.
(Couple of hours later...)
"Yaaaaah!" The loud battle cry of a fiery red haired, ponytailed woman came out. Her buckler shield bashing into the side of her scaley opponent. The blue lizardman couldn't help but roar out in pain as the amazon like woman most likely just busted up his ribs from that strong shield bash blow.
The crowd was definitely out and about this week as the cheers explosively rang out from the mighty blow that this newcomer Amazonian opponent gave one of the regular fighter like Draygon the Lizardman, others winced from the devastating looking blow and hissed in sympathy for the poor blue lizard.
However this newcomer has definitely gotten an unsuspected new fan from Blake's friend group.
"YES! That was fucking wicked!" Yang shouted in excitement. "Keep up the ass kicking red! Go for the gut, Draygon hates getting punched there!" Fist pumps were aplenty with Yang as she hollered her excitement. Apparently the red head was a mind reader because the Amazon woman did just that with her spear weapon. The newcomer luckily used a protection magic so she wouldn't outright kill poor Draygon with a spear through his stomach.
However the alternative was the poor blue lizard coughing out in pain with his tongue hanging out. Unfortunately for him. Draygon was basically hit from what was the equivalent of an organ rearranging gut punch, as globs of saliva spit and green blood was coming out of his mouth.
Everyone was in agreement that he was 'definitely' going to feel that in the morning. But surprisingly the lizard of the swamplands was still up by sheer willpower alone, but his knees were definitely shaken and his hands released his axe and buckler by accident, probably from the harsh blow he had taken.
"This match is definitely over." Weiss watching intently, with a rare smile on her face. "Guess this girl is going to be a challenge for the boys here for next couple of months." Blake definitely heard some mirth to her voice and that usual smugness she was used to hearing.
"What makes you say that?" Blake questioned as they were all watching from the usual balcony, watching the woman now on the defensive, blocking Draygon's fisted strikes with her shield, countering the attacks that were sloppy.
"Guess you weren't hear to talk with her Blakey." Yang said with excitement in her voice.
"I was...dealing with some issues. That's all you'll be getting out of me." Blake didn't want to elaborate with her season right now.
The other two noticed the edge to their friends voice and decided to drop the subject. "Anyways. The muscled woman down their is some sort of fighting champ over in the nation of Anima." Yang said. "I don't really care about the details, all I know is that she brings the pain when it comes to one on one gladiator fights as you can see." Yang gestured just in time for the woman to bash Draygon in his mouth with her shield, putting him on the backfoot.
"I see she can definitely kick some serious tail." Blake making light of the whooping that the veteran lizardman was receiving currently.
"Her name is Pyrrha Nikos, Amazonian warrior to the nation of Anima." Weiss explained. "Anima is to the East of Saunus, and her tribe is what is called The Sisters of Battle. I think that is what our muscled brained friend forgot to inform you about Blake, among other bits of information." Weiss read off those bits of info.
"Ah who cares about the details, that fighting machine of a woman is so strong that its getting fired up!" Yang's purple eyes widened in excitement, her sharp teeth in a ear spitting grin. "Hell maybe after all the matches are done, we could have a go at each other, prove who is the stronger fighter."
"I'm afraid you might be out of your league there you blond oaf." The white haired mage elf said.
"What makes you say that Weiss?" Blake questioned.
"Yeah you shrimp, what makes you think I can't take that newbie?" Yang added on.
"Because that newbie is folding a fighter like Draygon like a piece of bread." Weiss pointed out, all of them seeing the woman now having the poor lizard in a Suplex hold. "Plus her constant years of skills." The elf added.
"Big deal, I've been fighting and training for years and so has Blake here as well. What's the difference that the little red head has been training like the rest of us." Yang pointed out.
"Because Amazonians have trained for their entire lives." Weiss pointed out.
"YAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" The yell from Pyrrha sent shivers down the spines of the crowd, as she picked Draygon from the ground. Bending her muscular body backwards, the red haired warrior woman slammed the lizard straight into the ground with all the power she could muster, the impact making a loud cracking sound in the earth. The heavy slam was so powerful it left little cracks in the ground.
With a yell of agony from the crocodilian faced blue reptile, his frills on the back of his head splayed out from the impact as spittle left his jaws, his eyes bugged out so hard they looked like they were gonna pop out of his skull.
After a couple of seconds, Pyrrha got up slowly from the ground, looking at her opponent earthy floor. Her opponent was left on the dusty, earth covered dirt, splayed out like a fresh dead body. The woman could hear the Lizardman groaning from the ground, sounding ok but thanks to the utter ass kicking he just got as he refused to get up from the ground, and after a few agonizing seconds later he had finally lost consciousness thanks to all the punishment he had took from the final blow.
"It looks like Draygon is not getting up from that brutal attack! The winner of the match is the newcomer of the Lustful Colosseum, Pyrrha Nikos!" Cinder announced, the crowd going ballistic from the hot muscled woman's finish. The yells and screams cheering her name in a chant of 'Nikos' definitely made the red haired warrior blush in embarrassment. "Please tell us what your pleasure will be!" The raven haired Succubus announced.
"I'll... I'll choose Title for myself, and I shall be named 'The Crimson Amazon'" The red haired woman spoke.
"You heard it here folks! A new warrior of the ring is born!" The cheering only getting louder. "We'll be taking a short break before our next fight is to continue!" Cinder announced.
"WOOOOHH HELL YEAH RED HEAD! YOU CLEANED THAT JOKER'S CLOCK!" Yang couldn't help but yell out her praise from such a badass finish.
"WAH!" Weiss almost getting hit by the big breasted woman. "Careful of where your swinging your sacks of fat you troll."
"Shit. Watching Pyrrha just piledrive that scale head... Mmmph just gets my fighting spirit running!" Yang shouted, putting some of the other lady fighters off their game from the sudden outburst.
"Be careful for what wish for you blond oaf. If you fight a Sister of Battle like Nikos that could be you eating the dirt battleground." Weiss pointed out.
"Hmmm... Nah I'd win." Yang gave off a cocky grin.
"I'd say you have a snowball's chance in hell from beating one of the best fighters around Yang." Weiss said with a matter of fact tone. " The fight might be over in a couple of minutes tops." The elf girl shrugged and couldn't help but put her friend back on the ground with reality.
"Aw what do you know Weiscicle." Yang waved off the short elf. "If we fought, me and that amazon chick would shake the earth with our might. I'm sure with my Oni Ogre fighting strength and fiery temper with my spiked staff, I'd ring her bell like my ancestors of old!" Yang finished as she posed, her legs in a squat while whipping her long yellow mane of hair, her eyes turned from deep violet into a more light magenta to show her emotions mixing, excitement and anger fusing into one bright vibrant color. "Don't ever underestimate the power of the Inferno Dragon Demon, Yang the Fire Oni!" The beast of a woman stomping her leg down, her staff over her shoulder and her other arm held out in a pose.
Weiss could only sigh in defeat and thinking of her friend as a lost cause at this point, the fool will just have to learn the hard way she guessed. She turned her attention to Blake to maybe get some kind of normalcy around herself.
"Blake could you please talk some sense..." Weiss stopped in her tracks as her normally unflappable feline friend was wincing, holding her stomach area. Weiss's face morphed into concern, "Hey, are you ok?" She asked.
"Damnit... How is this happening?" Blake muttered, Weiss knew of what her friend spoke of.
"Didn't you go to Klein like I suggested? I told you he could help you?!" The white haired elf grilled her raven haired friend.
"He...Ugh..." Blake groaned out. "He did Weiss, the potion he gave me was helping me... WAS in past tense." Blake shifting her thighs together, surprising Weiss from that info. "The druid could only make me something could resist my urges and temptations to have sex...Ah!" The burning was starting to grow, even when she drank the rest her body was still fighting for control. "I just finished off the rest of the remedy that Klein made for me. But I don't think its going to be enough." Blake panted out, as she walked towards the stairs, ready to finish this rematch.
"Then you need to back out from this fight you dolt!" Weiss got in front of the warrior. "If this is impeding you that much Blake, then you need to consider your health and well being could be in danger and potentially going out there will be risking your future as a warrior if you are impregnated!"
"Like I said before, I will not back down from this fight. This knight could hold the secrets that I need to uncover."
"Its too risky, in your condition you won't be fighting at your best because of your heat!" Weiss pleaded.
But the feline warrior moved her out of the way, and continued to move downstairs. "Why is this so important to you?" Weiss questioned, baffled at their friends stubbornness.
"Because..." Blake said out loud. "This could be my only lead to our lost history as the Gato people. I will not squander this just because my body wants to make children, and I will fight through this battle and the one before me with my head held high!" Blake announced, whether she is the victor or the loser it didn't matter to her.
Blake Belladonna will not back down from this challenge, her people's history is on the line.
With no other words to say, Blake made her way down the stairs, towards the arena floor as she will be the next match of Salem's Colosseum.
Weiss's blue eyes kept looking at her disappearing form, concerned with the outcome of this fight.
"Hey..." Weiss turned her pointy eared head towards the giant hand the patted her on her blue robes. Seeing Yang with a light smile on her face. "Give our girl some credit. She's won five in a row, and I bet whoever this nobody that she's facing won't even be a challenge to her." The Oni ogre woman trying to cheer up her friend.
Weiss could only sigh out at her friends supposed optimism "I just hope your right in your case..." Weiss said out to her, as they both went towards the balcony to watch their friend's next match.
'Because you know what happens if we are both wrong Yang.' Weiss's focus on the other figure that was in the ring. Blake's opponent no doubt and definitely looking a lot more fierce compared to what he was described as from her friend a few months ago.
(Inside the Arena)
Blake made her way towards her opponent in the ring, the first thing she noticed right off the bat from this Jaune Arc character was definitely his wardrobe change.
Gone was the militia looking armor that looked hazardous to his own health and puny form of the person he fought months ago. What was replaced was a fusion of pearly white and shining gold mixed together, shining in the light of the flames of the arena. The knight was holding a T-shaped slit in the middle with two white spikes on both sides and a one big spike in the middle. Blake noticed the blond's demeanor has severely changed from the last time they fought.
What she saw in his cerulean eyes was focus and determination, something that definitely missing from their last fight as he had the look of an amateur. Not anymore though, Jaune Arc was looking like a capable fighter right now.
Which meant that this fight not only just got a more interesting, but definitely more difficult.
"So... we meet again Gato warrior." The blond went to unsheathe his weapon, a blue and golden handled templar sword in one hand with accents of the Arc family symbol engraved into the inside of the pommel and a shield with a silver and golden shine with the Order of Ozmis symbol on the front of his kite shield. "Don't think for a second that this match is going to be like last time like all those months back." Jaune pointing the sword towards Blake with a good natured smile before turning serious once more.
Blake only smirked at the knights proclamation. "All I see that you got from the knights that you joined up with is some fancy new armor and some new equipment." The feline warrior's tail swishing back and forth in anticipation, her arm reaching back to grab her dark metal spear, Nightshade, "All in all not that much of an improvement from what I'm seeing." The raven haired woman commented.
"Trust me, you'll see how far I've come when I beat you here and now, and claim my prize." Jaune was still wanting that map of the Light Dragon Goddess artifacts, the temptation of those blessed prizes almost in the palm of his hand.
"Wow someone's arrogant." Blake tone taking his comment as an insult. "Fight hasn't even started and you've already assumed victory?"
"Not arrogance, just some confidence in my skills that I have learned." Jaune explained to his opponent across from him, his grip on sword handle tightening. "Got to reassure how far I've come from being that farm boy that showed up here with a hope and a dream. Showing to everyone here who I am now thanks to the order, and how I have changed to become a better warrior." Raising his helmet to head, putting the shiny white paladin grade helmet on his head to complete his look of sheer radiance. "This is to prove to myself and everyone else here that I have changed to someone who is formidable, and what better way to test myself then to defeat the lady that humiliated me in the ring in the beginning of it all?"
Blake could only scoff as she twirled her spear, narrowing her eyes in focus. She winced slightly from the pain of her heated body but chose to ignore the pain completely, yellow orbs staring at the steeled plated warrior. "Sorry to disappoint you here Jaune, but I going to have crush your goal here. There's only roam here for one winner and its going to be me left standing with my prize when I'm done beating you." Blake said, getting into a crouched battle stance.
"Tch, and you call me arrogant." The blond getting into his own readied stance with his sword and shield close to his form.
"Not arrogance just confident in my skills." Blake said with some smugness coming off her voice. The only response she got from the paladin was a shake of his helmeted head.
However if she could see underneath his helmet, she would see a competitive smile plastered on the blonde's face.
Cinder looked at both the combatants on the arena floor, her gaze turned towards the knight of Ozmis. Her piercing eyes narrowing at the man in the armor.
'You better not fail me you naive paladin.' The Succubus thought, before starting to levitate in the sky to get away from the start of this fight. "Alright everyone! The next match is about to begin, and this one is going to be a wild one!" Cinder announced, the excitement was palpable as the roars and screams bounced off stone from the intensity.
"These two have clashed once before in the Colosseum, and our fearsome Panthera Queen had taken victory that time around, but it seems our returning challenger is back for more and ready to take his revenge against her. Will he succeed and take the pleasure of victory or is the Panthera Queen going to snag her sixth consecutive victory in the Colosseum!" Cinder yelled out, energizing the already excited crowd of monsters and people.
"That's enough of me talking, let the fight begin!" Her hand firing out a small orange fireball, the thing exploding in midair in a colorful flash.
With the signal sent to begin, Blake wasted no time and was quick to make the first move. Her booted feet quickly charging with quick spin with her spear weapon towards the paladin. Her strategy was going to hit him fast and hard, with his armor looking quite heavy and clunky to maneuver around in, she could assume that the feline definitely has the speed advantage over him.
Blake led with a hard stab towards Jaune, a quick strike towards his armored chest. But the knight quickly responded with his shield arm at the ready, blocking the heavy looking spear strike. With her first attack ineffective, she decided to go for another quick thrust only to met with the wall of metal that was his shield. After
Luckily the feline warrior knew her distance from the paladin as she able to dodge by jumping back from the surprisingly fast swing from his sword arm, just barely cutting off a couple of strands of her black hair from his swing.
However, Blake was not deterred by this action as she continued to press her luck, thrusting a couple of more deadly looking stabs towards the his white colored chest piece of his armor, she was trying to open him up or at least land a lucky strike to get him to stumble for a better attack point.
Her weapon Nightshade was super close to his face a couple of times as Blake continued to thrust and swipe at Jaune.
But it seemed the paladin's defense was just too strong as every attack from her shadow spear was met with sound of metal scraping off of his metallic shield or his strong sword arm actually parrying her attack. The intensity of the hits shown in a shower of sparks as Blake continued her assault with fervor.
The tribal feline woman had to hand it to this guy, but this Jaune Arc guy has drastically improved from the pathetic showing months back. Definitely better than those other jokes that called themselves knights that she embarrassed in this arena.
Kudos to him as his actual defense was spectacular thanks to his wide stance, whenever Blake tried to hit him with powerful swings, stabs, and strikes his shield arm didn't budge at all, showing her his strength from just blocking alone. The attacks she was giving him weren't even pushing him back!
Not to mention the power in his sword swings, if Blake wasn't careful and took a direct hit from his powerful looking blade, she could be in real trouble. Her agility, dodging, and choosing the right time to strike the armored paladin were definitely going to be key to winning this fight.
Blake's tactical thoughts turned curious. She had to wonder how this knight was able to turn into a competent fighter now? Was it the training? It must have been, especially considering how strong he had become.
Strength that she found rather... attractive.
The feline warriors thoughts of her opponent were starting to turn naughty, her body starting to feel the heat and her eyes glassing over for a few seconds about the thoughts of the blond man.
'Hmmmm... I wonder how he looks without that armor on~' He body getting turned on by the thought of the man being muscular, body probably sculpted into a wonder physique and...
"BLAKE WATCH OUT!" Her feline ears on the top of her head picked up a loud scream that sounded like her friend Weiss from the balcony. She quickly shook off her heated horny thoughts and was able to get her head back into the game.
However... it was not fast enough.
"What is go-"
CLANG!
Blake's stomach felt absolute pain as her body went soaring back from the strike of a metal shield smacking her back with the force of a battering ram against her. The hit knocked the wind out of her lungs and certainly right on her large ass.
"Shit!" She hissed out, feeling the pain from that bash, as she tumbled on the dirt for a few seconds before getting up and back in the fight.
However her form really felt that attack and felt slightly shocked from the hit which caused her to stumble a bit back up to her feet.
A mistake that Jaune decided to capitalize on, as his armored from was upon her in seconds with his sword rearing back to strike. Blake golden colored feline eyes widened in shock from the Paladin's speed. She had thought that the armored knight's movements were going to more slow and defensive compared to her more quick and agile fighting style, and yet here the blond haired man is upon her in seconds.
The Paladin swung right with diagonal strike, an attack that was swift as the wind. Blake was lucky to block the oncoming strong swing with her spear, only to block the next one with just as much luck.
However the swordsman was too quick with his third attack. The thrust jabbing into the middle of Blake's stomach, the force of the blow knocking her down and forcing the wind out of her diaphragm. This time however the feline warrior was stuck on the ground for a few more seconds then last time, the crowd letting out a loud cheer from the action and possibly the defeat of the female warrior.
Blake quickly felt her stomach area to feel nothing pierced her torso.
Guess he put a magic barrier on his weapon, otherwise she would of have had a sword whole in her body and dead on the ground.
But that wasn't important at the moment. Blake couldn't help but growl in frustration from what was happening. She was gritting not only because she let those painful strikes knock her down, but because of the war inside her body let that happen to her in the first place.
'Oum forsaken heat is really starting to me piss me off.' Blake's thoughts were full of red hot anger, Her eyes narrowed in frustration and her breathing was heavy as she tried to regain some air in her lungs from those two hits that she took almost back to back. But that wasn't the entire reason she was breathing so damn hard.
Somehow she is starting to lose control of her instincts in the middle of this fight, trying to calm her horny body by breathing in and out in a calm manner. Blake was honestly appalled that she just daydreamed on the field of battle like that, she couldn't believe that she just did that in the middle of a damn fight!
'I should of known better than to zone out like that. That was sloppy, I have to be extra careful now in this fight. This guy isn't the same novice like he was last time, and those damn attacks hurt like Oum himself struck me with his divine wrath.' Their first fight Blake was able to put the knight on the backfoot immediately, making him lose his posture and footing. Her quick movements easily knocking him on his ass.
Now though, he looked poised. His stance giving off an advanced looking fighter that has battled before. Now she was the one getting crap kicked out of her.
Well now that he had shown his improvement, it was time to kick it up a notch against this guy.
Plus... the more time she wasted, the more time her heat would most likely get worse for her body.
'I have to end this soon. Alright Jaune Arc, let's see how you're gonna handle this.' A dark sort of energy outlined her form, Blake's body calling on the dark arts of shadow magic to help her boost her attacks and create other objects that will help her fight against the Paladin. Her weapon coated in the dark magic as well.
The helmeted man looked ready for more punishment, as he squared up and was ready for the next attack.
Well that's fine, he was about to get more.
Blake went on the attack once more. Her spear going for another stab towards his chest.
The knight once again had his shield out in front to block the incoming strike.
'Guess she's getting desperate. Oh well, I'll just have to finish her off...' Jaune wasn't too concerned about the hit.
Until his deep blue eyes started to notice that a sort of shadow copy split off from his opponent's upper torso, moving in a different direction from the pale cat warrior which caused his eyes to widen from what it was doing.
The original Blake struck his shield hard, but to his surprise the feline warrior's shadow went around his shield, nailing him with a shadowy spear made of darkness in his arm. The knight let out a grunt of pain, quickly moving back before taking anymore damage.
'What... was that?' Jaune's mind was trying to figure out what just occurred. But he had no time as Blake was back on him going for another stab towards his stomach, but his shield arm ready to block just in time.
Then he saw it once more, the shadow of the feline warriors upper torso went to strike him into his upper chest area, the inky black spear coming straight towards him.
However this time the knight was able to hop slightly backwards to avoid the the shadow. He sure as hell wasn't stupid enough to get hit with the same move twice. But now his opponent was constantly all over him, attack after attack was definitely catching him off guard as he not only had to block and dodge two attacks at once happening in rapid succession.
"I see... so this dark magic allows you to use the shadows to create another part of yourself and strike me right after I block." He asked aloud to the now grinning feline woman, trying to gain some distance from her to figure out a plan.
"I wouldn't really call it dark Mr. Paladin." Blake's form still outline in a black miasma of magic, she closed her eyes as her form was now shrouded in the darkness like flame on the field. "Let's just call the magic misunderstood." After a couple of seconds, the darkness dissipated and instead of one feline warrior standing there. The knight counted four of the exact same woman standing before him.
The knight noticed that the Blake that had spoken still had her spear in her hands. But then Jaune started to notice that the other copies of the feline warrior had different looking weapons in their hands. The Blake copy on the far left looked to be holding jagged daggers that reminded Jaune of the Dragon Teeth Daggers that the Goblins and Gnolls used.
The one next to the Spear user was holding what appeared to be a sickle with a shadowy cloth on the end, most likely a Kusarigama, which definitely was trouble for a sword user like himself.
The one on the far right looked to only have a bunch throwing projectiles in between her fingers with what appeared to be shadowy kunai and shuriken.
"I think calling this kind of magic evil is a bit of a stretch don't you agree?" The one with the daggers said.
"They labeled me to be some kind of vile necromancer or some kind of evil witch, which is far from the truth." The kusarigama one spoke with disgust in her tone. " I am nothing like those soulless bastards."
"And yet I have helped out multiple towns with my abilities to scare off these local pests with the very same 'evil magic' they all hate, and still they shun me not only because of my feline traits of being a beggar but because of a few shadow tricks that saved their sorry skin?" The throwing knives copy said this time.
"In my personal opinion I think the people shouldn't ostracize a practitioner of shadow magic if they have a good heart, don't you think so Paladin of Ozmis?" The spear one questioned. "I'm doing something your precious knights can't handle when they have to face the forces of darkness."
Well he did sort of agree with that statement, technically Shadow Magic wasn't pure evil. Some people just weren't familiar with the Arcane Arts, and so they sometimes judge the those kinds of magic users with a broad paintbrush. It really wasn't fair to magic users to be criticized just because they have a stronger affinity to a type of magic thanks to their heritage.
But. This wasn't the time to go into arcane philosophy, and he had a fight to win.
"As a magic user myself I have to agree to you have said Gato Warrior." Jaune in a stance and ready for another quick attack from four opponents. "You seem like a nice woman with a good head on your shoulders. Using your own practices to help others in need, and I apologize that I called your magic dark." Jaune continued.
"I know that there are those out here in the world of Remnant that use their arcane arts for either helping those that are powerless, and others with vile hearts that want only chaos and destruction. You should be praised for helping others Blake, as you are one of the few people that I have seen so far that uses Shadow Magic for good. As I have only seen it being used to destroy." The blond said. "So on behalf of the Order of Ozmis, I thank you for your services, and I will do all I can as a Paladin after this battle is over to see your name with respect in the record books of the Order." His voice full of sincerity, stunning the raven haired feline warrior.
"Do you really think that will work? What makes you think that you can make a difference alone?" She said.
"Thanks to my Paladin status in the order, I have influence in the order that can help spread the word to these towns about these incidents, giving you better treatment to your people and anyone part of the Gato race." Jaune explained.
"You really think I should trust your word?" Blake questioned.
"You have an Arc's promise on your side." The knight said with flourish. " We Arc's never go back on our word, not matter what." Jaune finished. "When I say it will be done, its going to be done." He said in a serious tone.
Blake stood there for a few seconds in silence, only to chuckle out her surprise from his promise.
'Guess not every human is a scumbag.' The feline warrior thought.
"Alright Jaune, I'll trust that you'll keep your word on this." The Spear Blake said.
"However we still have a fight to finish." The Knives Blake stated.
"And I still have a battle to win." The Throwing Knives one finished.
"So... show me what you got Paladin of Ozmis." The final Blake said with a mocking tone of voice.
The challenge from all of the Feline women just made Jaune chuckle. "Well then come on!" The knight bashed his shield with his sword. "You still need to earn your victory Belladonna, and I'm not one to give them out freely!" Jaune shouted out the challenge.
Just like that the fight continued, with both the Spear wielding Blake and Dual Knives clone attacking the knight head on. The spear one on his left side and the other one on the right.
This time Jaune was hard pressed to keep up his defenses as he continued to block and parry the two warriors. His armored body being pushed back slightly from the intensity of the spear, while is sword arm was hard at work trying to strike back against the knife user. He was doing a good job at first, pushing back against the spear user with his shield and overpowering her, then turning his attention towards the knives copy, striking her form and doing some damage against that Blake as she backed away in pain.
'Alright, now it's just her and me.' He thought as he went to swing at the spear user.
Well... he would if he didn't feel a certain pain in his right side near his ribs, he noticed that their were some shadowy kunai that were near the ground, before disappearing completely.
"AGH!" He gasped as he felt himself bleed from the new gashes that he just obtained.
'Where in the goddess dragon's name did that come from?!' He looked around the field, until he finally found the culprit of his injury: The third clone on his blindside, with the throwing weaponry in her hands. A smirk was plastered on her face as the offending copy pulled out shuriken and let them fly, the projectiles quickly reaching towards him.
Jaune reacted quickly, batting the offending shuriken away. The metal shield bouncing the shadowy projectiles with little effort on his part.
However that left him open for attack against both Spear and Dragon Tooth users, as they used this chance to strike the distracted paladin. His body taking hits from both weapons.
Good thing his chest armor was super sturdy, otherwise without it he would of been toast. Jaune felt both of their strikes slightly dented his metal armor, pressing into his form in discomfort fortunately enough for him, he was able to tank the hits instead blown back onto his ass.
He needed to do some damage to the original Blake and fast. With that plan of attack in his thoughts, the paladin focused all of his attention on the spear wielding one.
However try as he might, it was slowly turning into a losing battle as the two Blake's got back into fighting him in sync. This time quickly switching their positions back and forth. Hitting him with swipes of either the spear or the dual knives.
The paladin was running out of time to fight back and win this battle. Right now he was feeling cornered in this large arena, he couldn't run and gain distance as Blake and shadow clones would just chase him down. If he continued this pointless one on two fight, even if he defeated these two the other clones would just finish him off when he'd be worn out and out of energy.
He definitely couldn't block and dodge forever against this woman, the long range copy would step in at anytime to stop him from striking the other two or keep him from taking a breather against the two fighters. An above average fighter at Rookshire Jaune was and he could now probably taken on two knights at a time thanks to his experience on the battlefield in his missions.
But he was no champion fighter that could take on four opponents, at least not with a little magic helping out in certain situations.
To make matter's worse, the he still had a Blake that was lying in wait with that sickle weapon, the feline copy nearby just in case. He didn't know what her purpose was, but something told him it was nothing good.
With all those factors against him, the answer was obvious for him.
'Guess I have no choice in the matter do I?' Jaune decided that it was time unleash his arcane techniques on the shadow magic user. Right now he was outnumbered four to one here, and if he didn't start using his light magic now he was definitely taste the bitter sting of defeat to the same opponent a second time in a row.
Right now his pride and honor as a Knight of Ozmis was on the line, along with the chance at that promised map prize.
'Alright.' Jaune breathed out. "Let's do this." He said out loud, then his voice stopped speaking in English, his words turning from the regular language into a more... ancient tongue that certain practitioners used.
Up on the fighter's balcony, Yang couldn't help but cheer for her feline friend and how she has put the tin can knight in a situation he couldn't possibly win.
"Hell yeah Blakey, finish that loser! He's got nothing to fight back with when you use your shadows!" Yang said.
"No..." Weiss said out, observing Jaune's look and posture. He didn't look defeated in the slightest. "Something isn't right here..."
"Oh come on shorty. This victory is totally in the bag for our girl." The ogre girl turning towards her other friend with a smug grin. "All she has to do is overwhelm and pummel his ass until he's in dreamland." Yang said.
"He still has something up his sleeve, I just can't place it but he is still a threat to Blake." Weiss said as she examined Jaune like he was a complicated spell.
"What are you talking about pointy ears? Blake literally has the knight of dumbass kingdom in a corner. What's he gonna do against Blake's clones? cut them down? He can't, he's not fast enough and Blake can run circles around him." Yang scoffed, " Trust me Weiss, this match is as good as over."
"If your so sure Yang, then why isn't this oaf giving up?" In fact... She noticed the knight's armored self still looked poised, like a man that was still confident. Someone that knew they weren't about to the thrown in the towel.
"Because that's just how dumbass egotistical manly men think. They can't admit defeat when it will hurt their fragile pride, I think its a matter of having a small penis. Just like that one elf guy that tried so hard to hit on you." Weiss just gave her a sigh of annoyance and annoyed glare from that comment, but the battle woman didn't really react or care about the Elf's stink eye. "So they think swinging around a sword and going down swinging is more macho, and while I tend to agree that is pretty hot. Sometimes you just know when to give up when you are beaten." Yang explained.
"While I... sort of agree with some of your sentiment." Earning a smiling 'thank you' from the blonde. "I highly doubt this Jaune is just going to quit. This definitely feels different then someone just stubbornly extending the fight for no reason." Especially since she could sense a magical presence from the knight.
No... Weiss had a feeling that this match was not over yet, and the white haired elf mage was getting a bad feeling about this Paladin knight.
Meanwhile Blake was definitely feeling confident about herself, sure her loins were absolutely on fire at the moment thanks to her stupid heat. But that was besides the point, her face had a smug look to it as she was nearing her victory.
She honestly didn't want to use the clones against the paladin too soon. They were a huge drain on her meager mana pool as she wasn't the biggest user of magic, but it's always good to have some kind of backup plan or another way to fight your opponent.
Besides... magic was usually Weiss's specialty anyways as elves were attuned more to magic and the arcane arts thanks to their heritage.
Blake and her race relied more on her speed, stealthy attacks, and combat prowess to fight and defeat enemies they were usually up against. The feline warrior couldn't take too many hits like Yang and she wasn't the greatest at close combat like the battle hungry ogre woman.
She would say that she's more of a jack of all trades when she travels Yang and Weiss. Her efforts in the group more attuned to taking down the outskirts of the hoards or the mobs of monsters that think they are in the back, only for them to earn her spear or shadow weapons to the back. While others would call her cowardly from striking the unprepared, she would call it strategic to their quests.
What better way to take down disgusting goblins that expect their reinforcements, when they realize their fresh fighters are dead.
Though those rank and file green midgets paled in comparison to the opponent she was facing in the arena today.
While the feline warrior did feel like she handicapped herself while being in heat this match, Blake had to give this new and improved sexy looking knight some kudos. He was definitely a step up from what he used to be, and compared to her other fights she has currently had in the arena he's the only one to have pushed her to use her shadow magic.
'You put in a valiant effort Jaune Arc.' The feline thought as she and her three clones went to slowly close in to make sure he doesn't escape. The vanguard Blake's closing into his right and left side, while the other two were nearby to take him down. "But this match is over." The spear Blake couldn't help but purr in satisfaction, nothing was hotter than trapping a nice juicy meal.
'And this one is definitely the tastiest looking man meat that I've seen so far.' Her headed fantasies already thinking of ordering this guy to come with her and have a wild fuck fest with her after they were done clashing together. 'Damn heat, can this shit just leave me alone.' But it was fine, once she was out of the ring she could but this match behind her and then find a nice relief session with herself.
One of the Blake's however was close another to hear whispers of a strange language from her opponents, she couldn't really catch what the Paladin was saying. Maybe he was saying a prayer or speaking to himself to invigorate himself in his desperate situation.
Well whatever it was, the Blake's were noticing something was going on with Jaune, his form was now starting to glow with a golden light. Illuminating the entire cave as his ramblings of what he said became louder and louder.
"What is happening?!" The Dual knife user Blake questioned as Jaune's form kept getting brighter and brighter.
"I'll tell you what it is Blake." Jaune answered, raising his sword arm high in the air, the weapon taking an ethereal glow along with Jaune's full armor set. His helmet, chest plate, and even his shield were glowing. His whole body was glowing like a torch in a dark cavern.
"Its checkmate!" Jaune shouted.
(Song: High School DxD- Opening Sympathy: Larval Stage Planning)
"NIRO'S DIVINE BLESSING!" His voice shouted out and echoed throughout the stadium as the light exploded off of him, blinding the Blake and her clones, along with everyone in the stadium with golden light. The light that was formless behind him quickly turned into the shape of a big dragon, the form of Niro, the Goddess Dragon of Light and Purity roared out to all that were witnessing this fight. The light spirit then went towards the posing Jaune, her light form being absorbed into the Blond's armored form.
It was like the sun was right there in the arena as everyone covered their eyes to avoid being flashed completely from the transformation.
Cinder was not better as the light actually burned her slightly from how powerful it was, shouting out from the slight pain.
'What in the nine rings of hell is this?!' Her dark amber eyes looked shocked, this light stung her skin, it was the equivalent of being struck with a holy weapon or some kind of holy item like a cross or holy water.
After a few more seconds, Jaune's form started to become more visible to everyone watching as the light was now more focused and dulled onto his sword, shield, and his armor all over.
"He is a light magic user, blessed by the goddess dragon herself." The Succubus couldn't help but shiver in excitement while in the air, but her form was gnawing at the fear she felt...
The fear of a pure light magic paladin.
"So the rumors were true..." Cinder said aloud, her breathing was starting to get heavy from the revelation of it all. "He was chosen to be one of the few Light Dragon Paladins! Powerful users of light that surpass average light magic users."
"What the hell was that!?" Yang was trying to look at the blond knights form while he was powering up, but all that did was make the Ogre girl see spots and her eyes were still adjusting to the light that flashed the entire stadium.
Fortunately Weiss had just enough time and sense to pull her mage hat down to cover her eyes from the lightshow, but when she looked down towards the arena floor she was anything but hopeful for Blake.
"Oh no..." Weiss muttered out in fear, she could feel the magical energy pouring through Jaune's form like a reservoir of water just ready to burst. She didn't think that this guy of all people had this kind of power!
Her friend was definitely in trouble now.
The Blake's finally were able to see clearly. Vision back to all of them as they saw his armor shine and sparkle a bright golden color, his silver coloring shining bright as well.
The lights giving his armor a bulky look to his form, the outline of his shield had a silvery light to it and the pattern of what appeared to be a scaled hide of a dragon.
His sword however was bathed in the golden light that was shining off of his armored form. His regular looking sword he was using previously changed from its average appearance to a more Draconic appearance. The cross guard had golden scaled wings, with a scaled finish for the grip and for the pommel had a gem of a sapphire in the middle, almost looking like the blue pupil of the Dragoness Goddess herself.
"W-What is this?" This definitely had Blake rattled, both the spear user and dual knife clone backed up a tad from Jaune's new form.
"My goddess gift to my faith, her divine blessing." Jaune said out. "And this Blake... Is my counterattack!" Swift as the wind, Jaune's form was quickly upon her.
The Blake's leaped back, thinking they were safe from the Paladin's swing range.
Unfortunately she was wrong...
The horizontal strike missed, but a lightning fast sword beam of light came out from the swing, striking both of the Blake's with the power of light.
"AH!" Both of the Blake's screamed out in pain. Hitting the ground in agony, the one with the spear rolled onto the ground and laid there for a few seconds.
While the one with the dual wielding dragon teeth daggers disappeared in a wisp of shadow and smoke.
'Alright that's one down.' The Paladin thought, looking around the arena to see movement from the other two bystanders. He saw the one with the spear slowly start to get up from his attack, but it seemed like she was going to be out of commission for a few seconds trying to collect herself.
He could worry about her later though...
The other two Blake's were upon the knight as well, with the projectile throwing Blake in front and throwing shuriken. Jaune noticed the wave projectile stars were tossed towards him and coming in hot.
But the armored man was not phased in the slightest at the new threat and immediately responded accordingly, as his shield ready to take the hit and do some defending.
However... that wasn't the only thing the shield was going to do that was for sure as he was smiling underneath his helm.
"Light Shield Counter!" The paladin shouted out. The second Jaune voiced his command, a shield of light went out in front of his form, the small projectiles stopping dead in their tracks and embedding themselves into the scale looking light shield.
A few seconds later however, the light of the shield pulsed and sent out a burst of energy, sending the small shuriken's back at the projectile throwing feline warrior.
Her eyes widened and quickly was able to slide underneath the coming storm of metal at the last second. Without missing a beat, she decided to materialize a long kunai blade, gripping it in a backwards grip and charging towards her opponent. Jaune was ready to fight her off as he had his shield at the ready.
'Just a little closer and I've got you where I want yo-'
Suddenly Jaune felt something wrap around his shield arm, he quickly noticed that a shadow like chain was wrapped around left arm along with the shielding in a tight binding. His gaze led him towards the final Blake copy with the sickle chain, a smug looking grin on her now that she had captured his arm.
Which was just enough time for the kunai user to get close for an attack.
"Got you!" She exclaimed, slashing towards his body in the hopes to pierce his bright armored chest plate.
But all she got for her troubles was just a scratch from the tough magically enhanced armor. She continued her assault of slashes with the blade, but the results were the same and Jaune was left unphased from the assault.
The feline warrior growled out her frustration, but she wasn't done yet. She quickly let out a flurry of kick on the young man, slightly staggering him from the strikes.
But Blake's attacks were doing no lasting damage against the paladin.
Jaune however knew that his shield was useless to him right now since it and his arm were pulled away from blocking this clone Blake attacks. So with that said...
The blond quickly adapted, removing the shield from his left hand, then when the metal slab was off of his arm he started to use all of his strength and pulled the light weighted Kusarigama user towards the fray with his left arm.
However the kunai using Blake was about to use a powerful slash with her kunai on the clothed underside of his shield arm, trying to stop him from hitting the other Blake.
The paladin would not be denied of this strike however, as he used his sword arm to block the incoming slash and parried the smaller blade. With herself wide open Jaune countered with a strong, metal booted kick to her abdomen, sending her away in the air.
But before she was sent off the ground, the feline clone was able to toss a couple of parting gifts in the form of some more throwing stars. Jaune wasn't concerned about the incoming shuriken int the slightest as his new light magic shielding made those stars bounce off his form. The paladin channeled his light magic energy into his sword once more and gave the gray chain a hard yank, the smile he had previously widening as his second plan was about to come to fruition.
"LOOK OUT!" The kunai copy heard the warning too late as the kusarigama wielding feline rocketed into her back, causing them both to hit the ground hard and in a pile of limbs.
Though that was the least of their worries, as the paladin turned his blade downwards, his blade striking the earth, causing a quake in the ground.
"Shining Wave!" Jaune shouted out. In seconds the ground was riddle with a wave of golden light and energy, the projectile coming towards the two Blakes at record speed. They tried to get back up and off each other, but the heavenly light was upon them in seconds as their widened eyes saw the advancing light pillars.
"AAAAAHH!" The two could only scream out as they were engulfed by the strong looking attack, their forms quickly being destroyed by the devastating light geyser, turning into smoke.
The Spear wielding Blake saw her last two clones bite the dust, gritting her teeth and wincing in pain.
"Shit..." She hissed out, Blake was in bad shape as she felt light headed and tired from using her clones. 'I probably only have three more to give and that's all I've got...' There was not a chance in hell that her clones could take him on separately.
No... she had to work together with them to use her Shadow Chained Izuna Drop, it was the only technique that could win this fight for her at this point and with how much magic this Paladin was generating maybe that still wouldn't be enough!
"I have to try at least." She whispered out, taking in a deep breath and letting the last of her shadow magic surround her form In a dark purple and black miasma. "I've only got one more shot of this, better make this count." She gritted out, dark yellow eyes staring at her opponent to only see him double hand his sword. It seemed he was forgoing his shield and was instead switching to a more offensive style for this match.
That was fine by her, this way her plan could definitely catch this knight off guard if she plays this right.
The darkness surrounded the area near her and through the dark shroud three more clones of her appeared with one holding a kusarigama and the other two were using ninjato swords instead of knives and throwing shuriken's.
The spear wielding Blake was panting heavily from the exhaustion she had felt. The feline warrior really has hit her limit with her magic pool,
She needs to win this and fast. As she could feel the warmth of her heat spreading across her body, making her insides hot and bothered, and with the opposite sex across from her was doing her no favors whatsoever.
Especially with how this blond was looking right now...
But regardless of his looks, she needed to focus up now! Both her and the ninjato blade users will try to find a way to open him up, while the kusarigama wielder will wrap him up tight with no way to defend himself. Then all she would have to do is make him go airborne and take him down.
"Alright everyone! Formation Shadow Drop!" The original Blake spinning Nightshade in her right hand.
"Hai!" The other three Blake's shouted their confirmation, The two sword users flanked the spear wielders left and right, heading straight towards their target in a slow walk, picking up speed little by little.
Jaune held his sword with two hands with his posture stout and ready for another round of attacks.
Which was just what he was going to get...
The three Blake's quickly dashed towards the lad, the two sword users striking first. Jaune responded with his sword as well. All three blades clashing in a shower of sparks, the two were holding their own in the clash of strength. After a few seconds the spear user was flanking Jaune on his left side, coming in with a fast thrusting attack towards his side.
Jaune was quick to react towards the attack, disengaging from the bladed warriors and quickly used his reinforced light armor to bat her away with a light covered gauntlet. The force of the strike pushed the lighter warrior back, catching her on off guard.
In a quick defensive measure, the two attacking previously pressed the advantage to give the real Blake some breathing room and take Jaune's attention off of their creator.
"YAAAAH!" They both yelled in a battle cry as they held their ninjato swords tight to both their hands, swinging blow after blow towards the knight in tandem. In which he responded with blocking and parrying with his sword, letting out shouts of force himself as the heated duel continued, blow after blow heavier than the next for all three of the fighters.
Cinder heard the crowds excitement as she was still watching this intense battle go back and forth, the crowds cheers and roars for violence was definitely electrified compared to a few minutes ago as both combatants were throwing everything they had at each other. But honestly that didn't matter in her eyes...
She needed her champion, her paladin knight to succeed and finish Blake Belladonna off so that her plan could go into motion.
Jaune was feeling a little bit tired from keeping up Niro's Blessing, but other than some slight mana fatigue he was actually having a lot of fun!
Blake has definitely been a fierce opponent so far, her clones and usages of her shadow weapons have been giving him some troubles throughout this fight. Her speed was definitely the biggest issue as he had only gotten a couple of decent hits in on her as the match continued, but it seemed to do enough damage to her when he did get his blows in, especially when he cracked out light magic.
Being a shadow magic user, he guessed that the touch of holy light through her off as he noticed she was a bit more sluggish when these next series of clones came from her body.
Which was definitely a plus for him, if he was starting to get tired and if that last hit on her actual body had her wheezing and panting hard, that meant that she must be feeling that same fatigue he was starting to get.
Meaning that he was close to ending this fight in his favor, he just needed to get a good opening against the real Blake and take her down with one of his Light Slashes. But right now he was in a deep sword dual with both her copies.
The clashes were dead on as both clones pushed back from his powerful pivoting swings with their own powerful slashes, as sparks continue to fly from the pushing attacks.
"UGH! I've got you now!" Jaune yelled out, deciding to use his brute force as his armored shoulders glowed golden and with a shout of effort charged towards the Blake clone on the right that was blocking the blow.
The force of the shoulder charge knocked her down on the ground thanks to the force and pulse of light magic. However the clone didn't have time to check her surroundings as the Paladin warrior was about slice her in half with his golden lit blade. She quickly rolled to the left to avoid the crushing blow that would have ended her.
The other clone quickly tried to help her cloned sister from Jaune's wrath, but a shout from the original caught her attention and the words made her freeze for a second.
"She's in position, Shadow Drop is good to go!"
"Sister!" She shouted towards the dazed clone. The other clone gave off a nod, tossing the other ninjato towards her sister as she got into a fighting stance with her fists brimming with a shadowy smoking miasma.
Jaune only looked at the two he was fighting confusion plastered on his face underneath his helmet. What are these girls up to? Why did that other one give her sword up?
'Doesn't matter, I can still win this!' He now went to strike the dual wielding Blake, their blade clanging and clashing in a whirlwind of attacks they continued the sword fight. After a couple of more heavy clashes with his sword, he was able to disarm the ninjato user by combining his light magic strength and sword skill to knock her swords out her hands.
"NOW!" The knight heard one of the Blake's yell.
"What?" He could only utter out as he felt a presence behind his armored back.
Jaune was so focused on his current opponent that he failed to notice that the previous ninjato user got behind him, form covered in purple shadow energy as she got low in a crouched position and kicked upwards in a handstand position.
"Shadow Geyser!" The clone's shadow energy propelled Jaune up, knocking the wind out of him.
The strike wasn't too hard for him and he had a chance to strike back for a good strike.
"Had" had been the word.
What followed up next was swift punishment to his armored self as a flurry of palm strikes and shadow magic punches kept hitting him, the clone kept striking him upwards lifting Jaune up higher and higher in the air.
Eventually his sword was knocked out of his hand after a couple of hard shadow strikes as Blake continued her impossible looking midair assault.
His head snapped back as he was kicked in the face with a full force shadow kick, that was actually starting to hurt.
Wincing in pain as his form was surprisingly lifted up off the ground a couple of feet from her assault, he didn't think he'd get this much air! He definitely underestimated this Gato Warriors strength.
But instead of gravity immediately taking effect and having him fall towards the ground, the original Blake was not done.
Following up the attack, The Spear user launched her own attack. Her form dashing towards the slightly airborne knight and used her own dark energy.
"Shadow Spear!" She shouted, punching her fist to the ground as a blast of shadows came from the earth and lifted the blond knight higher into the air.
If the Blake doing the physical assault sent him pretty high, then the original Blake sent him soaring high near the top of seats of the arena. Pretty close to the airborne Succubus Cinder. The energy twisting him around in an aerial spiral, keeping him up in the air longer.
Jaune only winced in pain as these two attacks really stung compared to the feline warriors failed attempts of damaging him with Niro's Blessing earlier, their Shadow Magic really was pulling no punches were they?
Suddenly... his form stopped spinning and a new painful sensation came to him as his arms and legs were restricted for some reason. His helmeted head looked down to see dark chains wrapped around his form, the constricting metal was on him tight.
He heard a lighthearted chuckle above his head. Jaune looked up in surprise to see that it was one of the clones, the Kusarigama wielding one. He saw her do an unusual hand sign, her other hand held her chain weapon with her shadowy energy being channeled into the chain.
"Shadow Binding Technique." Her power grow around him as the now Jaune felt a burning sensation around his body. Grunting out his pain as the armor of light was tested to try and resist the darkness of Blake's binding spell.
It felt like he was a suspended in the air for hours when it's only been seconds. Feeling the slight draft from the cave and sizzling sensation of pain from his feline opponent.
But now gravity was starting to take effect and with that he noticed a commotion on the ground, only to see one of the Blake clones use the others as a springboard, flipping towards him in what was dare he says, excellent acrobatics.
However it stopped being impressive as the nimble warrior quickly slammed into him, holding on to his right side, while the chain sickle wielder stuck to his left.
"I'm impressed you've pushed me this far Paladin, your improvement has gained you my full respect as a full fledged warrior. But I'm afraid it's over for you now, and your time has run out." The three in the air started to fall towards the ground, both Blake's spinning the knight in the air with them. The audience noticed that the three were starting to see them spin in the air in a quick rotation like a spinning top.
"We have you in our secret technique Jaune, even with your blessing there is no way you can escape from our special Izuna Drop." The kusarigama user spoke out loud, the spinning pile of bodies became faster and faster and the feline girls bodies started to glow a dark purple.
The dizziness was starting to get to Jaune as the ground was starting to become the twirling mass of colors. It almost made him want to hurl and pass out as the speed got faster and faster.
But he couldn't afford that now, with the ground rapidly approaching he needed to do something! If he hit the ground full force, he was definitely going to be passed out on the ground and groaning in shame and pain when he woke up as the loser of this fight.
With his limbs tied and with his body about to hit the ground, their was only one thing he could do. He focused his light energy all around his armored form. His highlighted plating glowing a bit bright from him focusing.
"We have you in our secret technique Jaune, even with your blessing there is no way you can escape from our special Izuna Drop." The kusarigama user spoke out loud, the spinning pile of bodies became faster and faster and the feline girls bodies started to glow a dark purple.
The dizziness was starting to get to Jaune as the ground was starting to become the twirling mass of colors. It almost made him want to hurl and pass out as the speed got faster and faster.
"Shadow Izuna Drop!" Both Blake's yelled out as the crash of armor and resounding 'THUD' sounded out throughout the arena. The surrounding area exploded out in a mixture of dark energy and dust from the dirt.
The sound and impact of the drop sounded heavy to everyone in the audience, as all three hit the ground hard. Jaune was dropped on his upper back and neck when all was said and done. The crowd and Cinder was silent for the moment, all they could see was a large dust cloud thanks to the aftermath.
After a couple of seconds later, the dust settled from the drop. The audience saw Jaune's glowing armored form. His body fell forward onto his stomach, splayed on the ground with none of the chains around his form or the two clones that dropped him.
The results that were honestly just fine for Blake as she let out a tired sigh from how much magic that had truly exhausted her and how she had finally pulled out the victory at the end.
Usually when she does that move, the clones that do the drop disappear because they hit the ground in a suicide shadow explosion. Damaging the opponent even more with a sort of burning shadow attack that could be fatal if she needed it to be. Here her magic went a little overboard thanks to being nearly depleted, but she had a feeling that Jaune's armor and blessing covered the fall enough to keep him alive.
But other than that, Blake had a feeling that she has this match wrapped up. Just in time too, as her body decided it wanted to blaze up again thanks to her season, her hands tenderly rubbing her midsection.
Though the crowd cheered in an uproar, as it looked like the match was coming to a close. Blake and her remaining shadow clone went to turn and walk away from her opponent on the floor, hearing the hollering from her friend Yang on the balcony.
While some where alight with cheer that the Panthera Queen finished the match. Cinder watched her slowly retreating form with gritted teeth and narrowed eyes,
This couldn't be how her plan turned out, it just couldn't.
'No! I can't fail this now! There has to be something up this fools sleeve. Anything to please mother!' Cinder's thoughts were running rapidly in denial and worry. She quickly turned her head towards Mother's balcony, seeing her disappointment visible from the air, along with a different undertone.
They will definitely will be having words after the match for her 'foolproof plan'.
So with heavy reluctance. "And with that last attack it seems we have a win-" Her announcement stopped, confusing the crowd for the moment as she stopped talking and noticed something down below.
She suddenly noticed something about Jaune.
For some reason she could feel a massive magical energy spike from him and it was starting to get noticeable, as the crowd now gasped from surprise to see the former prone Paladin.
Blake was still busy waving towards her friends, but a sudden warning from a horrified Weiss came to her in a shout out cacophony of sounds from the arena.
"LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU!"
Alarm bells were ringing in her head from that call out, she wouldn't just say that to mess with her.
'I should che-'
'SLAM'
Before Blake had a chance to even turn, her body exploded in pain. Mostly from her lower back area, as it looked like what appeared to be an energy arrow piercing her side. Agony filled her form as her body felt weightless, like a marionette's strings had been cut as she was sent sprawling towards the ground from the force.
"No!" The remaining clone turned around, only to see a horrifying image behind her. The large armored Jaune casted a sort of shadow on the smaller feline warrior. Other then some dents here and there, the paladin knight looked fine. However her ears picked up the sound of heavy breathing as he brandished his newly looking weapon, a crudely made light sword, made of pure magic energy tightly gripped in his right hand.
With no hesitation, the knight wasted no time and quickly swung with all his might towards the final Blake clone. The shadow magic clone with her dual ninjato swords put up a block, hoping to maybe mount some kind of parried counterattack.
But as soon as the glowing energy sword touched the shadowy steel, it cleaved through those shadow swords like a hot knife through butter, snapping the blades off the hilts with no effort and cutting through the copy of Blake from hip to shoulder.
The clones eyes that had life had dulled a muddy yellow, gasping out as her form was slowly turning to smoke, with one final turn of her head towards the original.
After finishing her tumble for a couple of seconds, Blake was gasping for oxygen as the surprising attack took her breath away. With her remaining strength that she had, the feline warrior quickly looked to where she was struck and felt the most pain. The spot she was hit at had some minor bleeding, but otherwise it didn't look fatal to her.
Thankful that the Paladin knight was being merciful and not accidently ending her life, her situation was not so fortune now.
She could not stand up right now, her body was trembling in exhaustion, the muscles in her legs felt shaky and unresponsive thanks to her previous fatigue. Her body felt on fire and not just because of her heat that was now a blazing inferno thanks to development. Her head was swimming thanks to those multiples hits she had taken in the match today.
Her eyes skyward to the dark cavern ceiling since she couldn't move without wincing in pain. Blake could only think in dread now as the Cinder was starting to lower towards the ground to show what the results of this match.
She has lost this time. Her opponent Jaune was the victor of this match, and she could not continue any further. Along with that realization, the feline warrior's win streak was now snapped, meaning that she'd have to start all over in the ring
The thoughts stung as her dream of seeking out her question to the Succubus Queen had come to an end today, the chance to ask of her people's advancement, knowledge of their whereabouts across other lands and what secrets they hide.
All of that effort to fight and win in this colosseum... just gone in an instant.
Now... She had to resign to her fate towards the Paladin as the arenas tradition.
Said armored man's steps were coming closer to her, when his form came into her view he brandished his light sword towards her prone form. Blake saw the bulky armored form of Jaune, she couldn't help but be impressed.
This might be her heat talking some more, but she couldn't help but be amazed by the knight in shining armor right now. His bulky form was heaving thanks to his exhaustion, but what made her curious is that how was he able to move that fast just now. He must be physically ripped or toned to move that fast in a suit of armor.
Blake's gutter brained mind couldn't help the fantasies that ran through now. Her breath picked up in a more hot and steamy pace, as she knows what prize that this man would take. While the thoughts frightened her a bit, her body couldn't help the elation that coursed through her veins.
Like an anticipated meeting she was destined to have. Excitement bloomed as her heat and her mind fused into one primal request.
She wanted to be breed by this man... and since she had been defeated in battle, he was definitely worthy enough to pump his seed deep inside her needy cunt. Her slit getting moist from her biological needs to get pregnant and the well awaited relief from her heat.
All that was left was for him to take her here and now.
"Unbelievable! In a surprising upset, the winner is the Paladin Knight Jaune Arc!" The sexy Succubus Cinder announced out to the audience. The crowd could only erupt into loud cheers of excitement and celebration, with the monsters signing the Paladin knights praises that had finally defeated The Panthera Queen in combat. "What stunning come from behind victory for the man following the Order of Ozmis!" Roaring and rounds of applause were heard from those stone seats.
Because not only was the supposed underdog pulled out the come from behind victory, which might have had some lucky gamblers rich in terms of coin and gold thanks to his win.
But a man finally defeated one of the more tough female competitors in the Lustful Colosseum, and the thoughts of all of the more lustful monsters and watchers could only wait as one of their favorite fighters is about to get bred and fucked on the field of battle.
"So... Jaune." The paladin knight heard the sensual siren like voice of Cinder, getting him out of his trance of looking down at his beaten opponent. "Now that you've won... What will your pleasure be today?" Cinder purred out, her tone being more smokey and sexy.
The roaring of the crowd could be heard as most of the males and some of the females were chanting the words 'Flesh' to him, like a loud mantra. Other creatures in crowd didn't even bother to keep a filter on themselves as they said some depraved dirty things.
"Breed her until her belly swells!"
"Make her scream until she's nothing but a squirting mess!"
"Yeah! Fuck that pretty pussy until she can't even walk anymore!"
He took off his helmet, some blood running down his face thanks to the drop, but otherwise he looked fine. Observing the crowd around him get louder and louder with their voices and comments made, his blue eyes looked down at the vulnerable Gato warrior. Her beautiful amber eyes looked like ones of defeat, but also having the undertone of acceptance and... affection?
Jaune felt the touch on his right shoulder, seeing the raven haired succubus fly towards him and near his right side. The blond had to admit the attractive women was as sexy as sin, but he was definitely still weary of this creature.
"Go on Jaune. The crowd is waiting for your answer~" The dark sclera woman purred out, hoping to get the silent paladin to answer. Hoping to get the answer that she and the crowd definitely wanted. "What will you choose?~"
"I...I..." The blond was able to say in his exhaustion.
"Yes?" Cinder tried to goad out of him, her patience running a little thin here for the delayed response.
"I choose... Pleasure of..."
AND SCENE!
Wow... Its been a bit since I finished this chapter, a couple months.
That's not acceptable when it comes to a writer like myself.
But life's been a bit tough right now since I've been focusing on real world problems. Like hunting for a better job and all that other good stuff.
Also... I have discovered the anime of High School DxD during that timeframe and that totally took away from the writing along with some good old writer's block.
Now... before everyone gets a little impatient about the lemon. I actually promise this next chapter will have it. I just didn't want to the chapter to be fucking gigantic and have the fight scene and the smut at the same time.
Plus... I wanted this fic to be a mix of things and fighting and fucking was the mixture here.
Well that and character interaction, so that's why I wanted this chapter to be this long and why I'm going to write the smutty goodness next chapter, plus some other fun plot points that I will explain as well.
With that said, how'd you like the fight? Was it too short? Too long? Just plain ridiculous?
Honestly I was hoping for the ridiculous part, it's fantasy for Oum's sake!
But on a real note, how did you like the fight? I really enjoyed chalking up Blake's abilities as a Shadow Magic user. Sure she was basically herself with a few different tricks up her sleeve. But I wanted to give her something different to fight with, A Battle Spear was just one of those weapons I wanted to use.
Same with the other weapons the clones used. I wanted to keep the spirit of her ninja style by giving her all types of weaponry with Ninjato, Kusarigama, with Shuriken and Kunai in the mixture. While the Spear and Dragon Teeth Knives were more to her tribal feline warrior heritage.
Plus... I'll be honest I wanted to add that Izuna Drop Finisher for her cause fighting game moves are fucking sick! I know it was from Ninja Gaiden first but still.
Couldn't resist the temptation!
Unfortunately it just wasn't enough for the win. But it's alright, she'll be getting a consolation prize in return.
Hehe Boi...
So with all that said, how did you like the chapter? Was it good? Bad? You tell me.
Because in the next chapter Round 2 is about to start and it's about to get steamy~
Follow and favorite if you have enjoyed this story so far. If you have any questions for me just leave it in the comment section or send me a DM and I will try to get back to you as soon as I am able.
Well with that I'm signing off! This has been Irongiant9000 and I'll catch you all in the next chapter!
