Chapter 472 - Arc 11.72: Cursed Chess part 3

"BUT! Right now is no time for such a thing, because the KNIGHTMARES JUST POUNDED THE ABYASSAL SLAMMER RIGHT INTO THE GROUND! Mõõk and the rest of those sexy beasts have put the cursed sea region where they belong down below!"

Some fans sitting in front of Ivana, turn their heads and say, "What did you just say!?"

"Maybe you should clean out the seaweed from your ears, and maybe you would be able to hear the tears from my team walking off the stage."

"Oh fuck no!" A fan says as he stands up with his allies.

As Ivana and the man continue to yell at each other, a woman east of them both says, "What else could I expect from the earth, and the sea, bickering over who will come in second place."

Ivana and the man quickly turn their heads as all of the anger from the lot of them has been redirected at the woman. "Do you really think the Distorted Sky has a chance to beat the Knightmares?"

"Out of the last thirty Radonitsas, we have managed to eliminate you twenty times. I think I am pretty confident."

"Did your baby teach you how to use statistics, or are you just forgetting the last of those wins was over a decade ago? Mõõk, and the boys have crushed you flightless birds for eleven years in a row."

"TEN! We haven't lost or plan to this year."

The fan of the abyssal slammers says, "Her mistake, it's rude to claim that, because you're not even moving past the cursed hearts bloody Mary's aren't you."

"I don't want to hear that from last place!"

"I assure you, we aren't going to be in last place with the Distorted Sky playing. They have barely been able to beat their regional tournaments, and you think they will be able to stand on the same stage as us? Don't kid yourself!"

Avram says, "It's funny watching a bunch of losers thinking who will face us in the final."

All of the fans in the area around Avram turn to him, and then Ivana says, "It sounds like you think the cursed heart region's Bloody Marys have already won?"

"Think, no child I know."

"FUCK OFF!" Everyone in the stadium screams as their anger rises. Elia, staring at their faces, starts to laugh, and Cyrus feels a chill running down his spine as she does.

The Abyssal Slammers fans say, "You're just a bunch of preppy kids who only ever win due to building advanced monster trucks and holding higher-quality cursed items."

The Distorted Sky fan says, "You people don't understand teamwork or synergy, and just focus on recruiting people with strong curses that carry all the work. No teamwork, no tactics, no strategy, just smashing your heads against a wall."

Ivana says, "You guys have no respect for the game, or any idea of sportsmanship, you talk down to everyone and disrespect the legends that came before you. You scum even have the balls to go around and pouch players using their families as leverage. TRASH!"

A thick smile crawls onto Avram's face, and he shouts, "SO WHAT!!!!! DESPITE ALL OF THAT, WE STILL WIN! LACK OF SPORTSMANSHIP? LACK OF TEAMWORK? INCREDIBLE AMOUNTs OF FUNDING? WHO GIVES A SHIT! BECAUSE NO MATTER WHAT YOU SECOND RATE NIGHTMARES SAY, WE ALWAYS WIN, WE NEVER LOSE, IN THE LAST 10 YEARS WE HAVE ONE SIX TIMES, IN THE HISTORY OF THE GAME WE HAVE WON 70% OF ALL RADONISTA'S! SO SCREAM INTO THE VOID, WHILE WE JUST CONTINUE TO RACK UP THESE VICTORIES!"

Everyone in the area gets up and starts to shout at Avram while throwing food and other items around. Grabbing Cyrus, Avram says, "Suck it up."

And activating his legacy on his tail, Cyrus creates darkness, absorbing all the food coming towards them. With a confident smile on his face, Avram says, "DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY I AM SITTING IN THE CURSED LAND SECTION OF THE STADIUM, IT'S SO WHEN YOU GUYS GET YOUR BUTT'S KICKED, I CAN SAVOUR THE LOOKS ON YOUR FACES, AS I ENJOY MY MEAL FROM YOU!"

Avram starts to laugh manically, and Orb turns to Ivana, who has locked her fingers together and places her elbows on her thighs. With a haunting stare right at the stadium, she says, "We must win, we must win, we must win, we must win!"

Iancu says, "How stupid you guys are. It's just a game."

Orb says, "You're heartbeat was the loudest out of everyone here during the game."

"STOP SPREADING LIES!" Iancu says, while he tries to swat at Orb.

All around their area, the noise rages in every which way as everyone gets worked up over the game, but Elia quickly opens her eyes, allowing their deep red to become apparent to everyone around, and in a controlled tone, she says, "Everyone, shut up."

Despite being quieter than everyone else around her, the words she releases cut through the shouting like a knife and reach the ears of everyone who stands in her proximity. Their eyes soon fall on her, and as they stare into the two crimson jewels placed with her, they all quickly turn and sit themselves down with their arms placed directly on their legs.

A similar thought in that moment passes through everyone's mind; I AM SCARED!!!

Except for two boys, one of whom is entranced by the sight, and the other says, "Close those nasty eyes, I don't feel like looking at them, you massive, gravity-defying whale."

Elia turns to Iancu, but Cyrus and Gherghe quickly move and punch Iancu in the face and stomach before she can act.

"The hell was that for?"

Gheorghe, grabbing his shoulder, says, "Don't doom us all with your stupidity," as Cyrus nods his head rapidly in agreement behind them.

Ivana jumps up again and says, "The Bloody Marys have arrived!"

Onto the stage, a group with the crest of a bleeding heart being drained by a pair of fans walk onto the stage, all covered in cursed armour, which is specialised for each of their bodies, along with a rather gaudy vehicle behind them.

One of the Bloody Marys walks forward away from the rest of the group, a man with grey stone skin, two stony bat wings, and a monstrous face reminiscent of a gargoyle.

Ivana grits her teeth and says, "That's the Mary's king slayer, their number one forward, the water-producing beast, the empire gargoyle, Leonidas!"

Orb says, "He looks rather strong. I can see how he is their ace."

"King slayer!" Ivana says, correcting Orb's words.

Leonidas soon gets on one knee in front of the entire stadium, and puts his hands together as if he is about to pray, then says, "Dear lord, my heavenly Messiah who stands above all in this world. I thank you and beg you for all you have done for us to keep standing with us. But also my father, TURN UP THE DIFFICULTY BECAUSE RIGHT NOW LIFE IS TOO EASY WITH THESE WEAK ASS OPPONENTS!"

Saint Ludovic Stadium, split into four sections representing each of the four regions, quickly burst with boo's in the Cursed Land, the Cursed Sea, and the Cursed Sky sections, while the Cursed Heart section roars with a voice of trumpet so loud that it consumes the other sections.

Ivana smashes her foot onto the ground and says, "I hate him, I hate him, I hate him, I hate him!!!"

Dumnorix, with a proud smile, says, "The confidence emanating from this man is rather extreme, but to be able to do all of that in front of all these people must be a signifier of great skill."

Abbán, on his head, says, "Or he is just an idiot."

Orb says, "I guess this is the confidence that comes from never-ending wins. At that point, it kind of becomes foolish not to have confidence in yourself."

Cyrus droops his head low, and Iancu stares at him for a second, and tries to speak up, but as he does, he struggles to get some words out. He says, "Um. Hi. Are you?"

He constantly stares and ends his attempts at sentences, trying to spew something of value out of his lips, though it all ends up with nothing being communicated, right before Orb moves to Cyrus, and says, "Hey, would you go check on Suzuka for me? I asked her to come and inform us if anything is wrong after the first match."

He bolts up with energy and then says, "I WILL DO IT!" Before dashing out of the area.

Iancu, seeing the reinvigorated Cyrus, grips his fist in humiliation, but Orb quickly moves and hugs him, saying, "Is something wrong? You look tense? Do you need a message!?"

Iancu pushes Orb away and says, "Get off me!"

But Orb quickly freezes the palm of his hands to Iancu's body, and says, "Not until you tell me what's wrong!"

They continue to fight as Elia giggles in her chair, causing Iancu to shout, "SHUT YOUR MOUTH, HAG!"

Gheorghe, seeing the anger emanating from Elia, stands up, then says, "It isn't nice to speak to a lady like that in a muted tone."

Iancu, with vicious eyes similar to Elia's, says, "SPEAK UP OR FUCK OFF, ONE OR THE OTHER I DON'T CARE WHICH!"

Gheorghe, embarrassed, sits down and Dumnorix, holding and squashing Abbán's cheeks, says, "You have the same issue as Cyrus, but you're not as annoying about it as Cyrus since you're not actually a combatant."

Abbán says, "What's your issue with him, Dumnroix? He's just trying to get better."

"Unlike you, Abbán, I didn't have to be a tender bosom for all my people for most of my life, so I don't baby grown men born with great physical abilities like Cyrus."

"Jealously won't make you stronger, Dumnorix?"

"Did you just allude that I am jealous of a soulless doll?"

"It's only one of your various lists of mental disorders, Dumnorix."

"No such thing even exists?"

"As a doctor, I assure you I have compiled a long list of medications to make all of the voices in your head disappear, Dumnorix."

Dumnorix quickly grabs Abbán off his head and starts to squeeze his cheeks as the giant scaly man, who can barely fit in his seat beside Dumnorix, lowers his head and says, "I am sorry."

"I don't need nor want your apologies. Listen here, and listen good, everyone has thoughts worth expressing regardless of their education, race, or age. The reason I insult you is because you treat your own words as if they are lowly. If you have something to say, speak, or forever be pathetic, you only have those choices in front of you, Gheorghe."

Gheorghe lowers his head, and Abbán says, "Keep your head high, you deserve to be able to look at the world in front of you regardless of how anyone or anything tries to put you down."

Gheorghe raises his head and then stands up and yells, "RIGHT!"

He quickly turns to Iancu and says, "Stop being mean to Eli-."

Before he can finish speaking, Iancu throws Orb right at Gheorghe, knocking him back onto Elia, who stares down at the giant man who has just landed on her dress and glares.

"I am so sorr-."

She rubs his head and says, "Thank you for standing up for me."

"But my scales damaged your clothes."

"Don't worry, Orb did worse things to this dress last night."

The attention of Avram, Ivana, Gheorghe and Iancu falls onto Orb, whose hair turns pink as he says, "DON'T SAY IT LIKE THAT!"

Avram, covering his mouth as he laughs, says, "Oh really!"

Elia puts her hand against her face, dramatically swings her head and says, "You are really denying what you did to me. I knew you were unfaithful."

Iancu quickly says, "Orb? Elia?" Then places his hands over his mouth, trying to hold back his disgust.

Gheorghe, looking at Elia, says, "She will finally beat on someone instead of me now!"

"What does she do to you?" Orb says scared.

Ivana rose with a commanding presence that brought every eye to her, and she says, "The Distorted Sky has arrived."

Through the other entrance of the stadium, another team enters the arena, and as they do, the entire stadium falls silent.
