My fight took a while, but I don't think it was much considering my enemy, in fact, his surprised look during my last blow was magnificent, he was a complete idiot.

"You did well..." (I)

I walked towards the Leech that devoured my opponent, it was his height which consequently made it taller than me, but as soon as I got close it lowered its head for me to caress, knowing what I wanted without the need for me to say it.

"Now go back."(I)

The Leech's body melts into fresh blood that flows into my hand disappearing into my body for those seeing form, but for me, I could feel vitality and Mana overflowing within me as well as Demonic Energy still burning in Starfire.

When I returned to the competitors' area, I was not the first nor the second to arrive, there were already 2 people there, one was looking at me like I was an idiot and the other was wearing a robe, I couldn't feel anything from the second person as well as a strong smell of blood and a feeling of death.magic

"Hurry up you idiot, we need to finish this before the next round starts."(Natasha)

"What happened? What's the reason for the rush?"(I)

I stopped thinking about the second person when my sister almost dragged me to her side, then she started using her blood to draw Runes and Magic Circles on one of her hands.

Soon she buried her hand inside me from where a Holy Power belonging to Natasha was spreading through my body as if searching for something.

At first, I didn't understand what she was doing other than putting her hand inside me, but I soon realized something, I was surprised I hadn't noticed it before.

There was a curse inside my body, the various wounds on my body formed Runes inside my body that were not visible when looking at the wounds only superficially.

I couldn't believe that I couldn't feel this curse inside me, but the more I studied this curse I realized how powerful it was, I also realized that it was made using Divine Power, maybe that's the reason why I haven't been able to feel this curse until now, even the Purple Sun in my hand did not feel this curse.

"(I have to be more careful.)" (I)

I felt the curse being pulled as the wounds were closing, in the end, Natasha pulled her hand out revealing a half rotten hand with strong Cursed energy, and then she cuts the hand off before a new hand grows in its place.

"Thanks, but how did you notice that?"(I)

"Demonic Gods are used to doing things with obscure motives, always be suspicious of their every action, the same can be said about Demigods."(Natasha)

"I started to get suspicious when he took a long time to use his Divine Incarnation, even when the fight was at a brief stalemate he didn't use his Divine Incarnation, so he was using his spark of Divine Power on something or so I thought."(Natasha)

"I haven't stopped to think about it, thank you."(I)"Don't thank me, I couldn't let you lose to someone else because of a curse, I'd rather kick your ass to the brink of death myself."(Natasha)

"That kid Alan wasn't funny, he was strong even among Heroes, but he was far compared to a Demigod of war like me."(Natasha)

"You mean Demigoddess of Healing... Ouch!"(I)

"I have fought in wars longer than some worlds have existed and killed more people than dozens of planets could contain, so I am a Demigoddess of War, understand!?"(Natasha)

"Alright, alright...thanks anyway."(I)

"If you fought Alan, where is he?"(I)

"He lost, so he can't stay in the competitors' area any longer, now shut up and take advantage of the opportunity."(Natasha)

Natasha speaks while pointing to the floating screens in front of us, it was possible to see inside the arenas, they were all in Territories.

Most were in mixed Territories, the same as happened with my fight, there are 2 Territories in conflict canceling each other out to a large extent.

But some of the fights were different, there were two fights where only the Territory of 1 of them was standing, after a brief observation in these 2 fights I realized that they were similar, it was the fight of 2 Minor Gods against 2 Demigods.

The fight was intense, but these 2 were winning with an advantage, the advantage that a Territory gives is immense, which only adds to the difference between the Minor Gods and the Demigods, it was easy to see who would win.

Because of this, I focused my attention on other fights, everyone was so strong that it seemed impossible for me to win this Tournament with just my power level, even if I could fight with my Familiars it would be difficult to win, especially if I have to face a Minor God.

"(Things are difficult for me, what should I do?)" (I)lights

lightsΝοvel I was truly lost on what I should do, I'm still confident in facing Demigods head on, but the Minor Gods were different, they can transform directly into their Divine Incarnations with the same ease as I transform into a Dragon nowadays.

Not to mention that everyone seems much more experienced in combat, there are intense battles everywhere.

"I have to think of something..." (I)

"Look at that fight, maybe you'll learn something useful."(Natasha)

"..." (I)

I turn my eyes following Natasha's fingers to where she is pointing, it was the arena where the fight was against a Demigod and a Minor God, I don't know what Natasha thinks I can use, but since it was her suggestion, I decided to follow along.

The fight was massive, the Minor God had the upper hand the entire time with few injuries while the Demigod was covered in horrible wounds, there was even a hole in the side of his body.

That was when I realized that something was wrong, it was a more instinctive perception than anything else, I didn't understand it myself at first and I kept looking for what was wrong, what was this feeling of incongruity that I was feeling in this scene and that was when I saw his eyes.

"He's calm..." (I)

"Congratulations little brother, you're smarter than that idiot Minor God."(Natasha)

"(Is he planning something? Will it be a curse like my opponent? Maybe 1 single concentrated attack? Could it be something more specific against this Minor God?)" (I)

I just started to think about what he was doing, just seeing from afar there were several things that I couldn't perceive, but what I could see only showed a one-sided fight with nothing else that I can see an ulterior motive, even so the calm in those eyes it wasn't normal.

That was when I noticed a change, the Minor God was perhaps tired of this meaningless fight or perhaps he finally realized that something was wrong, but he gathered his power in his Territory making the Sun become a Fire Beast that attacked falling on top of the Demigod.

This change was not only the Minor God's surprising attack but also the smile he showed facing these devastating attacks from above.

"[The match at arena number 4 ends sensationally!!!]" (Malakoi)

"[The winner is...]" (Malakoi)

The images were suddenly blocked by the brightness of that Sun during the collision, but somehow the representative was able to see what was happening as he began to give the results of the match before the light could dim.

When the images finally came back, the Demigod was still standing, his body was half healed compared to before, but what surprised me was the Minor God who was on the floor unconscious.

The Minor God's body was covered in injuries and burns, he was unconscious while his Territory seemed to be starting to fall apart.

I was so focused on the scene that I didn't pay attention to the name of the Demigod who won this fight, but that was of little importance to me as I analyzed the Minor God's body still on the ground.

"(His wounds, the angle, the depth, the size, and the locations where each wound is located... can't be a coincidence.)" (I)

"Reflection?"(I)

"Yes, a very interesting power, isn't it?"(Natasha)

"..." (I)

I looked at the Minor God's body noticing that his new injuries were exactly the same as the ones the Demigod had suffered until now.

They weren't just similar, they were exactly the same and in the same points on the body, with the same depth and size of wounds, this couldn't be a coincidence, it reflected all the damage, or at least most of it towards this Minor God.

"(But I see no new burn marks on the clothes, on the Demigod or near where he was, compared to him the Lesser god is naked with his clothes turning to ash just as the area around him was charred by the time the Territory completely gone.)" (I)

"(The Demigod also reflected the last big blow, that can only have happened that makes sense, I just don't know how he did it.)" (I)

I was lost in thought for the rest of the time until the last fight ended up finishing the 8 fights before starting the next round, which looks like it will act as space distorted around us taking wheels back into one of the arenas.

"Now let's see my new opponent."(I)
