Chapter 13: Vicissim
1257 Words
The crowd continued to roar as a gigantic black cloud suddenly appeared. It swirled round till it formed an image of the fighting ring below.
"Oh, that is handy!" Jamie commented as she shifted her eyes back to normal. Vanth’s glamour spell was good, but there was no point in taking unnecessary risks.
"Of course, we are all paying customers after all!" Tracker said, as he began to eat something on a stick. It was long and black looking. Tracker saw that Jamie was looking at it and said "Sorry, do you want some?"
"What is it?" Jamie asked curiously.
"Chaos Moth nectar!" Tracker said.
"Nectar?" Jamie asked, confused. Moths did not produce nectar, as far as she knew.
"He means s**t. It is Chaos Moth s**t! " Vanth explained.
"You are eating moth crap?" Jamie said, shocked.
"Hey, don’t knock it till you try it!" Tracker said as he continued to eat it.
"Well, what do you expect from someone that licks his own balls?" Fluff mindlinked as he teleported himself on Jamie’s shoulder. Jamie knew Fluff was curious, as his long black tail swished.
"Like you can talk!" Vanth scoffed.
"I will have you know, my balls are immaculately clean!" Fluff retorted
"Exactly!" Vanth said.
"Can we please stop talking about balls? We have bigger issues at hand!" Jamie said.
Suddenly, a blue face, with green horns and yellow eyes appeared in the cloud. "Good evening, my Demon and Demoness! I hope you have caused some chaos today!" The Demon spoke up.The crowd erupted into roars. The Demon waited a few moments before continuing, "As you know, my name is Kagan Vorthran and I am your host tooooonight! And, by chaos, we have got an evening for you tonight! But first, the match to open the evening. In the right corner, we have the scourge of the ghettos of this very city. It is the blue bomb, Elgroxan!"
The cloud showed a huge demon that was over 6 metres and had four arms. He raised his arms and roared.
"His opponent is known as the hound of the chaotic mashes! Legend has it he was raised by chaos wolves and suckled on the breast of the Marsh Hag herself. It is Ozzanoth! " Kagan announced. The cloud showed a shaggy looking, orange demon demon, with long arms and legs. He lifted his head and howled, sending the crowd wild.
"You know the rules, you placed your bets. Let the battle begin!" Kagan roared.
A large bell rung and Jamje felt the vibration of the two massive demons slamming together. "Two demons enter, one demon leaves!" the crowd chanted.
Jamie watched as the demons bit, clawed and punched each other. Every dirty move that Jamie could think of was used by both fighters. Eventually, the orange demon managed to rip off the blue demon's head. The crowd stamped their feet in appreciation at the ghastly scene, whilst two smaller cleaner demons removed the body and placed more sand down.
"Well done, Ozzanoth, and enjoy your reward, demoness!" Kagan said and the crowd wolf-whistled as the giant orange demon walked off. Kagan continued, "Now, this is personally my favourite part of the evening. This is when we give a chance for a lucky audience member to go up against our in-house champion, Uzzun! What is in it for you, I hear you ask? Honour, but more importantly, a million chaos coins and a chance to meet the owner of Ragnarok! Now, who among you has the balls on you to face the mighty Uzzun?"
The crowd suddenly went completely silent, as no one dared say anything. "Come on, there must be one demon in here that will do their family proud! Think of the demoness you can buy with a million chaos coins!" Kagan said encouragingly.
"I will do it!" Jamie shouted out. Her voice echoed through the cave. Instantly, she felt thousands of eyes on her.
"What is that? Do we have a volunteer?" Kagan said excitedly.
"What the chaos are you doing?" Tracker said, as a black diamond appeared in front of her.
"Getting us a meeting with the owner, what else?" Jamie said as she touched the black jewel. She instantly found herself ring side, next to Kagan.
"Well, well, well! We have a demoness wanting to have a go!" Kagan said, and the audience started to laugh.
"Tell me, little one, what is your name?" said Kagan mockingly.
"Tell him your name is Kegan, small d**k Kegan!" Vanth bristled.
"Xic, my name is Xic!" Jamie said with a sweet smile.
"Xic? That's an intriguing name... tell me, Xic, are you prepared to face our champion? It would be such a shame to have your pretty little face ruined!" Kagan said.
"No, I want to fight!" Jamie said firmly.
"Ohhhh feisty! I like that! Well, good luck Xic, you are going to need it! " Kagan said as he pushed Jamie into the ring. "The rules are simple, you win by either incapacitating or killing the champion. Understand, cutie?" Kagan said.
"Yes!" Jamie said as she started to jump up and down. She needed to warm her muscles up and fast. Who knows how big this demon is going to be,
"Good!" Kagan said as he smacked her arse. "Such a shame! Never mind! Are we ready to meet our champion?"
The crowd roared into life and started to shout "Uzzun! Uzzun! Uzzun!"
"He needs no introduction...it is the one, the only Uzzun!" Kagan said as the crowd roared. A trap door in the ring opened and slowly a demon appeared.
"What the chaos?" Jamie said, surprised. The demon was only two feet (60cm) tall! It was bright red, with bright green eyes and long lower canines. He had two small black horns and folds of skin all over his body.
"I don't know, but be careful! I don't like this!" Vanth warned her.
The bell sounded and before Jamie could think, the demon launched himself forward and grabbed Jamie’s ankle. He then proceeded to grind himself on it, whilst murmuring "pretty!pretty! pretty! "
"Eww, is everything in this place a pervert!" Jamie said as she kicked the small demon off. The demon went flying across the ring and landed with a sickening thud.
The demon sat up and rubbed his head, saying "owie!"
"Owie?" Jamie said, confused. Again, she was about to let her guard down when the little demon launched himself at her. He tried hitting her this time and Jamie quickly threw him off. This happened again and again, Jamie getting harder in her rebuffs.
"Please stop!" Jamie said, feeling sorry for hitting the little demon. The demon did one last attack, and Jamie, hoping to knock him out, threw him hard against the ground. The demon did not move for a few moments. "I am really sorry!" Jamie said to the seemingly knocked out demon.
"This does not make any sense!" Vanth said.
Just then, the demon started to laugh as the folds of skin started to move and stretch. Jamie heard the bones crack and watched the tiny demon body expand and grow quickly. The laugh, which was quite high pitched, turned into a low rumble like thunder. The once two foot demon, was now over 10 feet (3 meters) tall. His skin was tight as it strained to keep all the muscle in.
"s**t, it is a vicissim demon!" Vanth mindlinked.
"Great, just bloody great!" Jamie muttered. This was going to be a lot harder than she thought.
