Returning to box No.1 I checked the results of the other contestants. It seems except for Jaya and Ed everyone else won their card duels. Jaya lost because of the abnormal status – Weak inflicted on her in 1st round. And Ed lost an irregular named Mike Madison.

“2nd Round, Arena 27 Mike Madison vs Nick Bright”

One of my Calamity Daughter Core losing was a huge shock to me so I watched the recap of the 2nd round arena 27 card duel. Watching the video I understood what had transpired and the reason behind Nick’s loss, Mike’s origin card Clown Coffin.

“3.. 2.. 1, Fight”

“Summon Armament- Mountain Gauntlets” as the match began Nick did not hesitate and new one time use Summon Armament given to him by the referee.

“Clown Coffin- Clown Flood” with Mike’s command a colourful coffin was summoned, its lid opened and numerous corpses dressed as clowns crawled out of the coffin. Those clown crops rushed towards Nick.

Nick being armed with Summon Armament- Mountain Gauntlets single punched the first few corpses, soon the smashed clown corpses started to pile up completely covering Nick’s side of the arena. Seeing that he was cornered Nick wanted to execute Meteorite Jump. But unfortunately, he was one step too late. Seeing Nick up to something Mike revealed the final move, “Clown Fulmination.”

“Boom!” With the force from the exploding corpse, Nick was thrown out the arena bounds. Mike’s victory against Nick was justified but one thing did not sit right with me, where did Mike get so many human corpses to make an exploding clown corpse army? In the duel against Nick alone Mike must have used about 73 corpses out with 57 of them were human corpses. Mike’s origin card raised alarm in my head not because it was a threat to be but because it was too heinous and evil. If he was my opponent I would have killed him, lucky him he was not.

“2nd round, Arena 27 Winner Mile Madison.”

5100 soul jades from the Wang family plus 1500 soul jades from an anonymous person, in total I had made 6600 soul jades in round 2 of the tournament. I did not count money transferred to me by Kimble’s Victims and Relatives because I was planning on returning their money to them with an extra of $100million as compensation from the Wang family.

It was not my place or like me to do something unrelated to my life. I think in some way the messages they sent have gotten to me as they reminded me of young Wyatt. Though what they experienced are two different things in the end they all were victims to someone else’s greed and lust. Anyway, it did not cost me much as I only had to sell 9 soul jades at the black market for $300million per soul jade to compensate 27 people who claimed to be victims or someone close to one of the victims and had transferred money to my account begging me to kill Kimble Wang.

This may be the hypocrite in me talking but these 9 soul jades were well spent as I felt good. Including the compensation for the victims, in the end, I made 6591 soul jades in total. As for the Wang family, they did demand their soul jades back but to that, I said, “No Refunds” the Wang family did not dare to threaten me as that meant they were undermining the southern emperor and her authority.

Very soon the results of 2nd round of the tournament were announced,

4points – 27 contestants

3points – 6 contestants

2points – 27 contestants

This meant that out of 30 card duels held in the second tournament 27 card duels had clear victories while 3 card duels ended in a draw. Later it was announced that 7 winners out of 27 round two winners had forfeited the tournament as their injuries were very critical and we’re not in shape to continue participating in the tournament. So it was decided that for the 3rd round of the tournament 10 duels will be held simultaneously with 20 contestants. So the 30 arenas in the stadium were replaced with 10 huge arenas. These new arenas were 4 times the size of the arenas earlier.

And it was also decided that the 3rd round of the tournament will be held at 10:35 and this round the time limit on the card duels will be removed. Pretty soon the contestants of the 3rd round of the tournament received messages informing them of their allocated arena and opponent for the 3rd round.

“3rd Round, Arena 2 Dalton Wyatt vs Mike Madison “

“3.. 2.. 1, Start”

“Clown Flood” Mike did not waste time trash-talking like my previous two opponents, maybe because he knew his exploding corpse army was not a match for my stone elemental army.

“Stone Viltronian, I chose you. spiked stone dome.” Summoning four Stone Viltronians and enclosing all five of us in a spiked stone dome to protect ourselves from exploding clown corpses, I addressed Mike asking the one question bugging me the most, “Where did you get so many human corpses?”

“…” Mike did not bother to answer, he just summoned more clown corpses and piled them on the spiked stone dome. It seems he is trying to gather as many corpses as possible to blow up the time dome and me inside it.

“These corpses are not from the graveyard, they are rot free and too fresh to be graveyard corpses. Not only that, all of them are in perfect condition, good looking and well presented. If not for their corpse stench one would not notice that they are zombies” I narrated everything I had speculated from the appearance of the corpses.

“You have a keen eye. Yes, they are not graveyard corpses. I personally created all these corpses. I sewed their torn bodies and put make-up on their pale skin to make them look alive and presentable. I have a dampened sense of smell so I do not smell the stench you speak of.” Mike took my speculation as me praising his handcrafts.

” All these Corpses are young and healthy, no way they died of natural causes. Mike, where did you get them?” Hearing Mike, it became clear to me that he is a psychopath. Back on earth, a study suggested that a poor sense of smell may be a marker for psychopathic traits. But in Mike’s case, his cruel origin card was evidence enough that this faqer was not human.

“I did not get them, they came to me. When they come to me they all are so noisy and disobedient but once they enter my clown coffin they become honest and disciplined. See no they all do what I ask them to.” Saying that Mike summoned a female corpse from the Clown coffin. This female corpse was dressed in a red clown bikini. The female clown stood next to Mike while he started to grope her pun scrupulously as he yelled, “See this bitch! First, when I proposed to her to become my girlfriend she slapped me and called me a creep. But after entering my clown coffin she does everything I ask her to honestly.”

Getting the answer to my question I no longer engaged in conversation with this necrophiliac psychopath. I could have just killed him earlier but what can I do? I am a slave to my curiosity.

“Stone floor!” I commanded one of the stone elementals to create a stone floor for the dome such that I can execute my final move “Spiked Spinning Top” aiming at Mike Madison directly as with him gone all these corpses will be unsummoned. So there was no point in killing them. It took me 15 seconds to break through the piles of clown corpses. It would have taken me longer to pass through the corpse wall thanks to Mike who detonated all the corpses seeing the dome trying to move towards him. But unfortunately for him during the chaos of the explosion the spiked spinning top claimed his life as a bunch of C-rank explosions couldn’t even leave starch on the A-rank Stone dome.

“3rd Round, Arena 2, Winner Dalton Wyatt”
