After Stealing Hero's Mother, I Reincarnated in the Fantasy World!-Chapter 94: Final

’This place is bigger than I thought it would be.’

Compared to the semifinals, it was much more spacious and there were more people here. A lot more people.

Under the gaze of all these people, Rain stepped into the grand arena. He immediately noticed Gray, who waved at him in a friendly manner.

As before, Rain was equipped in light black leather armor reinforced with several movable alloy plates for strength, his hand resting leisurely on the hilt of Unknown Sword.

Gray’s armor was almost the exact opposite. It was silver colored plate armor, decorated with gold patterns on the shoulders and a gold cross on the chest. A silver sword in a golden scabbard hung from his belt, further completing his image.

Looking at him, Rain let out a single word.

’Status.’

As Rain looked over his status, Gray flashed him a seductive smile.

"Rain, how about we make our fight a little more interesting? It would be a shame if we let all the people gathered get bored."

Gray looked around at the bleachers surrounding them, full of people.

"That’s why I have a great idea."

His eyes grew sharper.

"How about we throw these useless things away?"

He pointed out the bracelets on their arms that were used to prevent them from getting real injuries during fights.

When Rain raised an eyebrow at his suggestion, Gray’s voice grew more solemn.

"Did you know, Rain? Women love brave men. All the more reason you must be sick of these childish games yourself from all the fights you’ve had in the past. And without those useless things, our fight will definitely be... more interesting."

Hearing his words, Rain couldn’t contain his smile.

"Are you sure about this?"

"Of course! Oh, and don’t worry, I’ve already settled this matter. If both duelists agree, the academy has nothing against it."

Although they were separated by a few meters, Gray held out his hand as if inviting him to accept the offer.

Rain just nodded.

"Then I don’t mind."

There was no reason to refuse when the hero invited him so zealously.

’To beat him at his own game... will be much sweeter.’

A faint smile flashed across Gray’s lips before he laughed.

"That’s right, Rain! It’s a great choice!"

One of the instructors approached them. Seeing their adamant gazes, which did not leave each other, he had nothing left but to silently accept the bracelets extended to him and left the arena.

Gray’s smile grew even wider.

"As your senior, I will refrain from using my bloodline, so freely attack me with whatever you want."

A couple seconds later, the signal to start sounded and Gray shouted triumphantly.

"Here’s to a fair fight!"

He pushed himself off the ground and lunged forward, unleashing a torrent of blows, each one perfectly timed, meticulously placed.

Rain, however, was ready. The black blade danced like a viper, its movements surprisingly fluid.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

For a moment, Gray was surprised by the force of the blow, but his expression immediately returned confidence. He hadn’t used half of his power yet. His eyes shone with the desire to play with him.

With that desire, he rushed at him again.

During this time, Rain was studying Gray’s fighting style, analyzing his movements, anticipating his strikes.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

"Not bad, Rain!"

Gray cast an aura on his blade, covering it with a layer of blue glow, while Rain’s sword was enveloped in a golden radiance.

Whoosh!

The next clash of steel was a thunderclap, silencing the murmuring anticipation of the crowd. Flicker flashed, reflecting, parrying, fending off blows. Each blow was accompanied by a sharp clang, each parry a testament to skill.

To onlookers it might have seemed like they were both at an impasse, but Gray knew the truth.

He was only playing with Rain now, ready to finish him at any moment.

The feeling of his inner superiority was incredibly arousing to him.

To give his opponent the hope of victory and then brutally trample it, showing his true strength, only to savor the despair in his eyes. It was the way Gray lived, the way he fought.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

Their equal clash was accompanied by excited shouts from all sides, causing Gray’s lips to curve into a sly smile.

This wasn’t just a sword fight; it was a performance that Gray had carefully prepared. He knew exactly how to entertain a crowd.

"Come on, show me everything you’ve got, Rain!"

The air crackled with Gray’s dismissive confidence, fueled by the roaring approval of the crowd.

Gray rushed forward, a silver blur flashing in his hand. This wasn’t just an attack, it was a statement of superiority. The sound of the clash was a high, clear ringing, the sound of steel meeting with something... lesser.

And yet, every time Gray’s sword was ready to strike him, Rain dodged it literally by a hair.

Gray grinned to himself.

’This is starting to get a little annoying. Time to end the games and finish him off.’

"Let a senior give you a lesson or two!"

His shout roused the crowd even more. Gray sensed that the moment had come.

He stopped holding back, unleashing his overwhelming power, a predatory smile gracing his lips.

’Try not to die too quickly.’

After a couple minutes, however, that smile slowly faded. And after a couple more minutes, it disappeared completely.

Something was very wrong.

’Why was he still on his feet?’

It was as if Rain hadn’t noticed the change in his strength at all, still moving at his own pace.

Deep inside, Gray had a feeling that he was beginning to look like a clown. No matter how much he increased his pressure, his opponent didn’t seem surprised, much less cornered.

Gray’s face turned ugly.

’What the fuck?’
