Chapter 16 - NO TIME TO BREATHE

The fight was over, the dead corpse of Denis lie lifeless on the flood after the accidentally slaughter made by Soren. He goes to the corner of the ring to take a breather after the fight he just had. "I just killed a man my first kill. Soren muttered to himself.

His chest heaved with an uneven rhythm, a testament to his struggle. The once-black shirt he wore had transformed into a tattered, faded flag of battle, drenched in sweat and blood some of it his, some of it from the fight with Denis. His arms hung low, each slight movement feeling like a monumental task, burdened by pain and the relentless ache of a body that felt foreign to him.

He stood up remembering that he is still in the match and the match still goes on with the elimination of Denis the number of fighters decreased once more again. " With the fall of another player we are down to only Fifty-four fighters now." Aspen yelled to the mic making the crowd even more excited.

Soren could feel their eyes on him, like wolves zeroing in on fresh prey. He took a deep breath, allowing the sharp pain from his injuries to serve as a reminder: he was still here, still fighting. But for how much longer? To Soren this started to be a huge pain for him.

His knees shook, and for a brief moment, he wondered if he might just fall over. His fingers gripped the rusty dagger even tighter its chipped blade barely hanging on to any sharpness. He could already sense it slipping away, growing duller with every block, every strike. The fight is still going nobody stopped even after seeing the fight between him and Denis, this was strange to him.

Soren shrugged it off the only thing on his mind at the moment is the battle that might await for him in a few seconds or less. " Oh my gosh even though i managed to kill Denis but something still is on my mind what was that sudden surge of energy or the rushing beats of my heart" 

CORE SKILL MANUPILATION 

A skill maybe that helps for his almost death meeting match. But what about that echo frame i never used it once and it was the skill that was given but for some reason i never used it so was it fake or what.

While thinking he sees a blade come for him he manages to dodge but barely. Twins who always fight with each other all of a sudden come up on him. " You must be the kid who made the crowd roar with that fight of yours with that freaky guy." The female twin said. Soren confused asks her what is she talking about. The female twin actually feels bad for him because he does not know. " Let me ask while you were fighting Denis was he calling you a pretty boy and grabbing or touching you on certain places." Soren nodded.

"Bad luck for you dude but that dead guy Denis he was gay you were fighting a gay the entire time." Soren froze after hearing the new information. "Wait, what?" The other twin, standing just behind him, let out a chuckle.

"Yeah, I had a bit of a crush on you." He muttered "Considering how he was throwing punches, it's definitely a FIRST LOVE TYPE OF THING."

There was a brief pause. Soren just stared, completely blank. "I WHAT ?!" In a flash, his expression contorted, his mouth twitching, one eye wide open, sweat flying off his temple in dramatic arcs. It felt like Soren's soul had just left his body. He looked up at the sky, feeling utterly betrayed.

"He tried to kill me!"

"That's just his way of flirting," the tall twin replied with a casual shrug.

"He stabbed me in the heart!"

"Metaphorically AND literally."

Soren slapped his forehead. Hard.

"So my first kill… was my first admirer?"

"Mm-hm," both of the twins hummed.

He was really out of speech on what do to or say so he had nothing to do but accept that he killed a crush but on the other side it was good for him that he killed him because imagine him dealing with a gay the entire time, so at least that pain was gone but now a new problem was right in front of him the Camacho. 

He does not have much information on them but he remembers while fighting Denis the gay which makes him uncomfortable just from that name and fight. Anyway he remembers that the host Aspen will yet out their names and their kill count they are actually behind Esteban with only 2 kills but are still dangerous. Their names the male twin Vincente Camacho and the female twin is Catalina Camacho.

He sees a weapon far but he has no choice he has to go for it its a sword but not in bad shape but he needs something for protection. So he looks the other way to draw their attention. They look the other way then with those small seconds Soren goes for the sword.

That foul play made the twins even more pissed. So they were ready for a battle for blood. This made Soren even more scared but he had no choice, that's where he remembered that he can not use weapons, this will be a tough match even more crappy and dangerous than the last one. The twins are emitting aura that makes Soren start sweating a lot.

"This is more likely not my best day" Soren muttered to himself
