Amon, The Legendary Overlord

After Amon's team was challenge, other teams were challenged, however, even after more than 5 hours, no one challenged Amon's team anymore. Of course, the strength shown by just two members of Amon's team was enough to prove just how strong they were and deserving of first place. Defying them was just an act of asking to be tortured- it was meaningless.

"So annoying~" Ariel put her hands behind her head as she pouted. She hadn't even had a chance to fight, and because of that, she was a little upset.

"Well, we still have two challenges of our own left. We can challenge two teams," Barbara said.

Amon looked at the teams, then shook his head, "I'm not interested. If you want, you girls can challenge someone, but I don't think it'll be a satisfactory fight with your current strength."

Yes, the girls knew that too. They saw the duels of all teams in the top 10. Despite having some that created their first genetic factor, by and large they were even weaker than Xena. There was no point in defeating them.

"I don't care," Barbara said, "I want to keep fighting. It's better than just watching."

"How about a card game?" Ariel said with a mischievous smile, "Of course, just one game would be boring, so let's play with punishment. How about it?"

"What kind of punishment?" Julia was no fool. Anything Ariel suggested was never so simple. If she didn't pay attention, Ariel would be able to con her; at that rate, she might as well just hand over her money willingly.

Ariel laughed a little, grabbing a deck of cards from her storage as she began to play expertly. "For you girls, it's two whole days without kissing Amon. For me, you decide yourselves. As for Amon... How about having to give the winner a massage?"

"..." Barbara and the twins both stood there silently.

It was hard to decide. Getting a massage from Amon was tempting, but going two whole days without being able to kiss him… Well, it wasn't the end of the world, but just thinking about it made one want to kiss him even more. Honestly, it would be torture. It was the same as having cake accessible at any time: they would not necessarily feel like eating, but if they were deprived of food, they would crave eating it then.

"Amazing, Xena won!"

"She is fabulous!"

At the same time, the fight that was going on between Xena and Sandra from Universal University ended. Amon stopped looking at the fight and paid attention to the girls. It wasn't like he wasn't paying attention; he'd heard their idea of ​​playing cards with punishment. As he wasn't against it, he didn't say anything in response and continued watching the fight.

The two girls in the arena, Xena and Sandra, were both strong, although not as strong as Barbara and the rest of Amon's group, but they were very close.

Sandra almost managed to beat Xena. If it wasn't for Xena using her double attribute and attacking with full power, she would have lost.

"That was so cool just now," Julia commented, "Sandra's ice powers are very strong, without a doubt."

"Yes, but don't change the subject." Ariel returned to the topic she had mentioned a bit ago. "So, do you all accept it or not?"

"I'm in." Amon was the first to agree. As for having to massage whoever won, that was something he didn't dislike, so he didn't deny joining in when Ariel proposed it as a reward.

"I would hate to lose, but I want to win..." Maisa pondered with her finger between her lips. "Hmm... I'll participate!"

Julia also decided, "I want to play too."

"Since everyone else has accepted, there's no way I can stay out, yes?" Barbara accepted.

"Okay, but before that, we have to decide what Ariel's punishment is going to be," said Julia.

"Yes, that is important," Maisa agreed.

"What do I get if I win?" Amon asked. That part was also crucial.

"We'll all massage you together~" Ariel said with a mischievous smile.

"Acceptable," Amon agreed without hesitation, "But Ariel's and my punishments have to be something different… something like challenging an entire team at the same time alone."

"..."

The girls silently approved.

"That's not really a punishment for me," Ariel laughed, "But if no one disagrees, I'll take it."

"Let's go with that," Maisa nodded.

Julia and Barbara nodded in agreement.

"Alright, what kind of card game will we be playing?" Barbara asked as she looked at Ariel.

"The most classic of them all," Ariel said, "Each one of us gets nine cards and has to make pairs until they run out of cards. The last one to finish with the joker loses. Needless to say, the first to run out of cards wins, yes?"

"Yes, we understand this game," Maisa replied.

Even Amon had played this with his grandparents before.

After that, Ariel dealt the cards right after shuffling the deck well.

"Amon, you begin," Ariel said as she looked at him.

Amon looked at her, then he looked at Julia on the other side of him. She showed the cards facing away from him so he could choose a card.

In his hand, Amon already had a pair. He lowered that pair and took a card from Julia's hand.

"..." Amon remained indifferent even when he had just taken Julia's joker.

Julia put down two pairs of cards and pulled a card from Maisa. Maisa didn't drop any cards and pulled a card from Barbara…

The game continued until the fifth round finally came out with the winner.

"I won!" Barbara announced with a broad smile as she discarded her last pair of cards.

"Tsk." Maisa clicked her tongue. She only had two cards left. Julia, who only had one card, sighed.

The game continued until Julia's turn came and she pulled the right card from Maisa and was the second to win.

"Damn it, I don't want to lose!" Maisa started to sweat a little.

Maisa pulled a card from Ariel... Or she was going to, but changed her mind and chose another one. When she pulled it, her eyes gleamed!

"I won!" She shouted out loud.

Ariel smiled a little deprecatingly. She was down to two cards and one of those cards was the joker.

"Now the dispute is between Amon and Ariel," Julia said.

"Who do you think will win?" Barbara asked.

"Ariel," replied Maisa.

"Amon," replied Julia.

Amon only had one card in his hand, meaning Ariel's turn was passed to him. If he got the right card, he would win, otherwise Ariel still had a chance to win.

Amon looked into Ariel's eyes, then looked at the two cards in her hands. Between left and right, he chose the left card.

When he pulled it out, he said, "I won."

"Sigh~ I didn't expect to lose..." Ariel sighed, but then laughed. As she had said before, she didn't mind having to challenge an entire team to a duel.
