“I don’t have to,” Cain replied, a humanoid figure darting out of the crowd and into the path of the arrow. The figure, one of many ghouls planted in the audience, was eradicated the instant the arrow struck it. The only proof that the figure had ever existed was the small pile of ash on the arena floor, which was quickly disposed of by the wind.

Normally, outside interference would result in a no-contest. In this case, the ghoul had moved too quickly for most of the audience to even notice. With the exception of a select few viewers, it seemed to everybody that Adonai had blocked the attack with some kind of invisible shield.

“Sorry about that,” the vampire said with a smirk. He took advantage of the temporary lapse in action to take off his jacket and shirt, leaving only his white tank-top undershirt. A few of the women in the audience cheered for the Class S Vampire’s disrobing. “They’re a tad protective of me. They’d sacrifice themselves to save me from the slightest amount of damage. It’s a little sad, really.”

Cain neatly folded up his discarded clothing and set it down, taking note of its location so as to avoid destroying it in the ensuing fight. “I promise it won’t happen again. I’ve just sent them a mental message telling them not to meddle in this fight. You can go ahead and take a free shot, if you want. There‘s a slight chance that arrow may have hit me if that ghoul hadn‘t interfered.”

Adonai took a few steps away from his jacket and shirt, and put his arms straight out to his sides. He flashed his opponent an arrogant grin, fangs gleaming. “Go ahead. I won’t move an inch, human. Just make it a good one. Anything less than fantastic, and I might decide to end the fight a little quicker than I wanted.”
