Chapter 595: Kayla vs Volcanic Dogshit
Chapter 595: Kayla vs Volcanic Dogshit
The arena vibrated with restrained power.
Kayla stood on one side, her emerald armor breathing softly with pulses of living light, leaves blooming and fading across her mantle like silent seasons cycling in accelerated time.
Across from her, Volcanic Dogshit grinned.
Heat thickened the air around him until it shimmered. Bronze skin cracked along the shoulders and chest, molten magma bleeding through glowing fissures like veins of liquid sun. His crown burned brighter, lava dripping from its edges yet evaporating before touching the ground.
"You look fragile," he chuckled.
Kayla didn’t respond.
The bell never rang.
He moved first.
The arena floor exploded beneath his step.
A volcanic shockwave tore outward, molten stone erupting in jagged pillars that shot toward Kayla from every direction. The temperature spiked violently as magma serpents burst from those pillars, jaws wide, bodies crackling with explosive heat.
Kayla raised her hand.
The moss beneath her feet surged upward.
Roots spiraled outward in a living spiral wall, bark-metal strands weaving into a rotating shield. Magma collided with verdant armor and detonated into showers of incandescent sparks that rained across the colosseum like burning snowfall.
Then she vanished.
Reappeared above him.
One sweeping motion.
Branch extensions behind her snapped forward like predatory limbs, firing crescent blades of pale green decay-energy that carved through the magma serpents mid-flight, turning them into blackened ash drifting across the arena.
Volcanic Dogshit laughed. "Not bad. But still weak."
He punched upward.
The air ignited.
A pillar of erupting magma shot toward Kayla like a volcanic cannon blast. She twisted sideways, boots skimming the molten stream, and landed lightly on a floating shard of shattered arena stone.
Her claws flexed.
The shard beneath her bloomed.
Stone cracked open as roots invaded it, turning dead rock into living structure. Thorned vines shot outward like whips, lashing toward her opponent with lethal speed.
He caught one.
Pulled.
The force yanked Kayla forward.
His knee rose.
Impact.
The hit detonated like a meteor strike, launching Kayla across the arena where she skidded through stone and moss alike before stabilizing mid-slide.
Her visor flickered amber.
A pulse spread outward.
Decay followed bloom.
The ground he stood on began rotting into dust, magma cooling into brittle obsidian that shattered under his weight. Life and death surged together in a violent oscillation that destabilized the terrain itself.
Volcanic Dogshit stomped.
The arena responded.
A volcanic caldera erupted beneath him, magma geysers spiraling upward in rotating rings that formed a massive burning halo. From within the molten vortex emerged a colossal magma construct shaped like a horned titan, fists dripping liquid fire.
Kayla exhaled softly.
The branch extensions behind her unfolded fully.
Leaves turned black.
Then gold.
A forest erupted.
Not metaphorically.
An entire biomechanical woodland exploded across the arena, roots tearing through stone while colossal tree constructs rose in twisted beauty. Some bloomed with radiant vitality. Others decayed instantly into skeletal bark titans wreathed in ghostly green mist.
The magma titan swung.
A tree titan intercepted.
Collision.
Steam detonated in violent shockwaves that shattered nearby barriers and rattled the spatial fold itself.
Kayla moved through the chaos like a quiet storm.
Her claws traced arcs of green-black energy that cut through molten constructs, each strike leaving blooming flowers that withered instantly into toxic spores that gnawed at volcanic flesh.
Volcanic Dogshit roared.
His body expanded.
Magma veins flared brighter until his entire form resembled a walking eruption. Horns lengthened into volcanic spires as molten wings burst from his back, each beat scattering fiery fragments across the battlefield.
He charged.
Kayla met him.
Claw against molten fist.
Impact folded the air.
Amber magma and emerald decay collided in violent spirals that ripped trenches across the arena floor. Shockwaves shattered tree constructs and magma titans alike as both fighters blurred through the battlefield in rapid exchanges.
He slammed his palm down.
A volcanic crater formed instantly, swallowing half her forest in a cataclysmic eruption.
She responded.
Decay surged outward.
Magma froze.
Then crumbled into ash.
Her branch extensions stabbed forward, impaling his shoulder with thorned biomechanical spears that siphoned heat while blooming parasitic flowers across his molten skin.
He grinned despite the damage.
Exploded.
A radial magma detonation blasted Kayla backward, burning through several layers of her armor as molten shockwaves tore across the arena.
She rolled mid-air and landed.
Breathing steady.
Armor repairing itself through rapid blooming growth.
Volcanic Dogshit hovered opposite her now, magma wings spreading wide, crown blazing like a miniature volcano.
Kayla’s visor shifted fully amber.
The arena quieted.
Her forest withered.
Then bloomed again.
The cycle accelerated.
Life. Death. Renewal. Decay.
Her entire presence deepened into something older, heavier, more inevitable.
Volcanic Dogshit’s magma aura condensed inward, transforming from chaotic eruption into focused volcanic core energy that radiated catastrophic pressure.
They stood across from each other.
The battlefield reduced to ash, molten rivers, skeletal trees, and blooming life sprouting through ruin.
Silence stretched for one heartbeat.
Power gathered on both sides.
Then, the silence snapped.
The silence snapped.
Volcanic Dogshit thrust both hands forward.
The magma halo behind him collapsed inward, compressing into a single blinding sphere the size of a building. It pulsed once, twice, then erupted into a focused torrent of incandescent destruction that carved a molten trench straight across the arena.
Kayla crossed her arms.
Root-metal surged.
A layered bastion of intertwined bark, crystal thorns, and luminous sap-lines erupted in front of her.
Impact.
The beam hit.
The first layer vaporized instantly.
The second layer held for half a second before cracking.
The third layer buckled.
Kayla gritted her teeth.
Green-gold veins across her armor flared as life-force poured into the shield. New growth replaced what was lost, blooming and dying in rapid succession as she tried to keep pace with the relentless volcanic pressure.
But the beam intensified.
Bronze cracks across Volcanic Dogshit’s body widened, molten light pouring from him like a star tearing open its own skin.
The shield shattered.
Kayla was swallowed.
The explosion tore her backward through three hundred meters of arena floor, stone liquefying beneath her as she skidded in a streak of smoke and embers.
She rose.
Armor scorched.
Mantle flickering unevenly.
Four branch extensions retracted halfway, one of them visibly cracked, sap-like energy leaking from its joints.
Volcanic Dogshit didn’t give her space.
He blurred forward.
His fist came down like a descending meteor.
Kayla twisted and countered with a rising claw, decay energy ripping upward in a crescent arc.
It carved across his torso...and barely slowed him.
His punch connected.
The impact detonated.
The arena shook violently as Kayla was driven into the ground, a crater blooming outward beneath her like a violent flower of shattered stone.
Her forest constructs tried to surge again.
Roots erupted around the crater, skeletal bark titans rising to intercept him.
He stomped once.
A volcanic shockwave expanded outward, incinerating the forest mid-growth. Tree constructs ignited and collapsed into burning husks before they could fully manifest.
Kayla forced herself up.
Her breathing heavier now.
The emerald inner layer of her armor flickered inconsistently. Sap-lines dimmed and flared irregularly.
She extended her arms.
The arena floor trembled.
One last massive bloom erupted, a towering biomechanical tree rising behind her, branches splitting into dozens of spear-like extensions glowing with concentrated life-death energy.
She thrust both hands forward.
The tree answered.
A barrage of thorn-lances shot toward Volcanic Dogshit like a rain of emerald comets.
He roared and surged through them.
Some pierced him.
Sap energy drained heat from his molten flesh.
But the holes closed almost instantly as magma overflowed, sealing wounds in glowing bronze scar tissue.
He burst through the storm of thorns and slammed into Kayla mid-charge.
They shot across the arena in a streak of green and gold.
He grabbed her by the collar of her armor and hurled her upward.
Before she stabilized, he was already above her.
His knee struck her abdomen.
Armor cracked.
A spiderweb of fractures spread across her chest plate as the force blasted her back down toward the arena floor.
She hit.
The colosseum floor shattered completely this time, fragments of stone floating briefly before raining down in molten arcs.
Kayla tried to stand.
One leg faltered.
Her branch extensions flickered weakly.
The spectral mantle of leaves thinned, drifting away into nothing instead of cycling back.
Volcanic Dogshit descended slowly, magma wings folding behind him as he landed in the crater opposite her.
He wasn’t laughing now.
He was glowing.
His entire form radiated condensed volcanic pressure, each step melting the ground anew.
Kayla summoned one final surge.
Green-gold light erupted from her core, forcing her upright.
Decay energy spiraled around her claws as she lunged, aiming straight for his crown.
He caught her wrist mid-strike.
The grip tightened.
Molten heat surged through her armor, sap-lines boiling and flashing white-hot.
He lifted her off the ground.
Her second claw slashed across his face, carving a deep molten gash.
He didn’t flinch.
Instead, he drove his forehead forward.
Horn met visor.
The impact shattered her half-mask into fragments of fading light.
Her armor dimmed.
The branch extensions behind her flickered once—
Twice—
Then went still.
He slammed her into the ground one final time.
The crater deepened.
Silence followed.
Kayla lay at its center, emerald armor cracked, glow reduced to faint pulses along dying veins.
The arena barrier flared briefly.
[Combatant Kayla unable to continue.]
Volcanic Dogshit exhaled a plume of molten vapor and stepped back, magma aura still blazing around him as the crowd erupted into a mixture of shock, cheers, and horrified excitement.
Kayla’s suit flickered weakly as the duel result registered.
"Humph, thought a Tier-4 bitch like you could defeat a Tier-10 like me?"
Round one.
Lost.
