Chapter 3 - The Trap of Tongue

"Yes, dear spectators! A new day, new fights! The Death Tournament continues at full speed! We're on the second day of elimination matches! Here we are with the 5th match of the day! AND NOW! LET'S CALL THE FIGHTERS TO THE ARENA!!"

The crowd got excited again with this announcement...

What had happened to humanity? Do they really enjoy seeing blood and savagery?

After all, if you wanted to watch such a tournament, you couldn't be normal.

This wasn't just a cage fight. It was a den of brutality. But humanity had seen so much!

I can't blame them for watching this tournament...

Kevin entered the arena again.

Yes, Bıfrat had been right. There it was - that FREAK whose tongue might be longer than itself if fully extended!

Right across from him.

Kevin? Still unarmed. Just his fists.

"Come on then, show me what you've got," he thought to himself.

The bell sounded.

At that moment, the FREAK suddenly shot its tongue forward? What did it do? Yes... it shot its tongue forward.

It completely wrapped around Kevin.

Before he could even do anything, before he could think "What happened?",

The creature lifted him into the air and slammed him to the ground!

Then it started squeezing him with its tongue again.

Apparently, it wanted to break his bones.

Kevin suddenly thought "No choice!" and bit its tongue.

Ugh! What a disgusting taste. Like rotten fish intestines.

The creature must have felt the pain. It immediately pulled Kevin towards itself and landed a solid blow to his face.

As Kevin staggered back, it grabbed his foot again with its tongue and flung him the other way!

The moment Kevin hit the ground, it caught his foot again.

Pulled him towards itself again.

Apparently, it wanted to strike again.

If Kevin didn't do something, his end might come right here.

At that moment, Kevin tried to plant his other foot on the ground and quickly leaned his body forward.

Then planted his foot firmly again!

But this time... he had planted his foot firmly on the ground.

He only needed a few seconds.

He tried to regain his balance. And...

He leaped forward!

Punched the creature in the face, but it wasn't very effective.

After all, punching wasn't his intention...

He grabbed the tongue with both hands! Lifted his other foot as high as he could and braced it against the creature's body.

Then pulled with all his might!!

"Aaaraghhhh!!! Aaaaahrgghhh!!"

The creature screamed, trying to shake him off!!

Kevin suddenly felt empty space. And collapsed to the ground.

The creature's tongue... was in his hands.

The creature attacked Kevin screaming in pain.

Mindlessly, just to cause harm.

Kevin immediately jumped back.

The creature collapsed to the ground. Tried to get up.

At that moment, Kevin ran at it from behind.

Kicked the creature's head with all his strength!!

The creature almost flew backwards.

Lay motionless on the ground.

Its disgusting blood was everywhere.

"Whoa!! Incredible!!! Seems someone really wants that fragment!!! Kevin wins again!!"

The spectators cheered again!!!!

Kevin staggered slightly as he started to leave the arena. At that moment, his eyes caught the big screen above.

Another announcer said Admiral Anchor had advanced to the next round.

The crowd started cheering again.

"Seems he's quite famous," Kevin thought to himself.

"Bıfrat has business today... Looks like I'll have to go home alone..."

Kevin left the stadium. At that moment, rain started falling...

"Ahh..." he thought to himself. And headed home.

**The Death Tournament**

The Death Tournament consists of 2 groups.

Groups A and B. The winners of each group face off in the finals. But if one side refuses, the other becomes champion.

There is also a Group C. But usually, matches are held for third place. If not satisfied with third place, the winner can enter the main groups' matches. But the High Council's approval must be obtained. And if approved, the person will face very difficult challenges.
