My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death

Chapter 487: The Battle Is About To Begin...

-----

Kamei and Orb glanced at their adversaries, as the Skeleton Butler Sebas looked back at Clementine. The pairs were glaring intensively at one another, their bloodthirst growing bigger by the second.

Frank glanced at the four rather concerned. He hoped that Orb wouldn't do anything crazy this time around. He felt like her wrath was growing too big and Dan was successfully provoking her to go too crazy from the beginning.

He couldn't directly talk to her, and screaming to her to calm her down might make things worse. Additionally, if he simply sat down and tried using telepathy to tell her, Clementine would notice and would stop it. Talking to a participant through telepathy counted as cheating, as the spectators could easily leak info to their allies and let them more easily beat their adversaries.

Although the Vampires had now suffered two crushing defeats, it hadn't been that crushing, Frank's party had barely won in both fights after they put all the effort and power they could muster. This tournament had been both a surprise and also an incredible training to these people.

They were growing stronger by the second, and they were feeling it, the participants of these battles had felt the power flow through them with their fights. It seems that unleashing their power to the very limit in a fight to almost the death (which actually wasn't, but it was just as intense as one), made their power awaken more. It wasn't just a thing of anime or whatever, it was real. The power of a person in the world could develop and branch further from their original power as they underwent hardships and challenges.

Experience makes the best fighters, even as strong as everyone here was, their power could always awaken and their innate talent would bloom, showcasing even larger quantities of power that could be brought out, which could then be used permanently to enhance their power greatly.

To boot, the power they could acquire was through the development of their capabilities. New techniques might arise, and even completely new abilities and hidden passive powers within their very souls and bodies.

All fighters as of now had developed them, Kaguya and Sadako had brought out their innermost power and had developed new powers and abilities, and even techniques through their fight. Fighting against two incredibly strong vampires who even fused made them go all out.

Their power was strengthened greatly, Kaguya was able to bring forth more of her truest potential which she had been sealing into her own soul due to the dangerousness it could bring to those that were too weak to properly withstand it. Meanwhile, Sadako unleashed her truest capabilities as her fighting techniques revolutionized themselves several times, she combined them with the new Space Magic affinity she got and enhance her power to the point that her techniques were able to break space now.

And after that, Axitl and Gwendolyn also exceeded their maximum know power, going completely all out since long ago, or for the very first time for Axitl, the two developed various new abilities and powers, and enhanced their companionship, forging greater and stronger bonds too.

Frank didn't knew if Clementine intended this to happen, but this also worked for her own Vampires, these almost to the death battles made the Vampires go completely all out and get a good beating, beating their egos and making them seem themselves more humbly, letting them realize that there was still a long way to go before they could completely reach their truest potential in battle.

The twin sisters Mochi and Kokoro understood their arrogance and even merged together into Majin, but even Majin was beaten at the end, by the combined efforts of Kaguya and Sadako, nonetheless, the amount of power the twins had to exceed was way more than Clementine had ever seen before, making her realize how greatly their power was incremented when they fought. Breaking through their limits was a concept that existed in this world, and it was a way for those with great potential to finally reach the next stage in their power levels.

For those without concepts such as cultivation and leveling up in Earth, the ways to grow stronger were all around fighting and breaking their limits, or delving deeper into the unknown arts of magic, gathering magic knowledge to the very limits that their brains and souls could take.

Some even adjusted their very bodies through countless methods and more… Meanwhile, Vampires could cultivate their power through fighting, their bodies would continuously regenerate broken tissue even stronger than before, and as they continuously used magic and continuously fought and entered near-death states, when they recovered back, they would usually be way stronger than before.

Of course, this couldn't be abused so easily, mock battles would never go as far as being death or life battles, due to this, battles in this tournament that were almost up to death, made these Vampires break through their limits…

It was already seen by Clementine and Frank that Kuro and Julia had also gone all out, and their power evolved in battle, Kuro was beaten down continuously by Gwendolyn yet he kept standing up and fighting, while Julia seemed to never fall, her power as a titaness moving fortress of armor and muscles continued to grow bigger as she developed her fighting capabilities!

Axitl learned how to better control and divide her body, alongside being able to entangle her enemies and embrace her true body's capabilities which normal humanoid bodies could not bring forth, abusing every inch of her true power to achieve victory. Meanwhile, Gwendolyn's flames evolved, Frank had clearly noticed this, and they were branching off to become something completely new and different as she advanced further through the path that has been opened through the latest fight…

Although Frank disliked this tournament, he couldn't help but grow interested and excited to see how far his sister and Orb could go, and what might they be able to achieve as they break through their own limits…
