My Supernatural Girlfriends Spoils Me Rotten

Or at least, that's what the others believed. The very next stance shattered their expectations, as the battle erupted into a scene none would forget.

Before the dust cleared, Ashley was already behind the figure, his kick smashing downward.

BOOOOM!

The man flew toward the ground. Ashley chased him, striking again to send him back to the sky.

He kept pressing forward, every strike tossing the hooded stranger across the arena like a pinball.

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

Each impact echoed like thunder, shaking the floor and cracking the stone.

Gasps and shouts erupted from the stands. Many spectators rose to their feet, unable to believe what they were seeing.

The high-ranking demons leaned forward, trying to follow the movements but losing track of his speed.

What they were witnessing wasn't just dominance—it was overwhelming power and speed.

"He's been hiding his strength all along." Ash's hands trembled.

His pride took another hit when he saw someone else force Ashley to fight this seriously—something he never managed to do.

BOOOM!

Another impact shook the arena, but to everyone's surprise, it was Ashley who lay on the ground.

Above him, the hooded man hovered casually.

"Godlike body?" Ark finally spoke, his voice echoed with contempt. "Don't you think you're overestimating yourself too much?"

Ashley clenched his teeth as his aura burst out, shaking the ground around him. Veins stood out on his face, his ego burning even stronger than the pain in his body.

"You dare mock me?" he shouted, his voice full of rage. "I'll tear you apart!"

He shot upward at a speed too fast for the naked eye to follow. Yet in the next instant, he was slammed back to the ground.

The crowd sat in confusion—everyone except Mirelyn and Hailey, who had seen him swatted aside like a child.

Ashley refused to stop. He changed tactics—switching from close combat to long-range assaults and everything in between—but each attempt ended the same.

He lost ground every time. If not for the vast reserves of energy in his body, he would have been finished long ago.

By this point, it was clear to everyone that he was severely outmatched.

Slowly, Ashley got up again, his wounds knitting closed inch by inch.

"H… How is this possible?" he stuttered, unable to process the outcome.

When he looked up, his opponent seemed larger, more imposing. Just the sight of him made Ashley tremble.

"Is that all you've got? If you're this weak, maybe the rumors about Overlord Asher are just exaggerated."

"You don't get to speak of him like that," Ashley snapped.

Thump!

Thump!

Thump!

His heart pounded, each beat echoing like a drum beat.

Sweat hissed into steam. His scales gleamed like polished metal, horns curved sharper, and his eyes became more intense.

Despite the beating he took, his energy now was higher than it had at the start of the fight.

Hailey bit her lip, watching her son unleash Dragon's Wrath. It was terrifyingly powerful, but the backlash… she knew it would take a devastating toll.

The hooded man slowly descended. Then propelled downward.

Ashley created crystalized shards and shoot it. It exploded on impact.

The force rattled the arena, but it did nothing to stop his opponent.

They clashed again, exchanging blows with blinding speed.

This time, both fighters were on equal footing. Fists and kicks collided, sending shockwaves through the air.

They rose into the sky, continuing their battle above the arena.

Clouds parted around them, and it was as if a storm of thunder erupted all at once, shaking the world below.

Below, the crowd could only watch on the big screen, fed by flying cameras hovering at a safe distance.

The image shook violently, buffeted by sudden bursts of wind from the battle above.

Hailey could no longer stay seated. She rose, ready to intervene and stop the battle, but her heart sank before she could act.

"Ashley!" she cried, flying forward and catching her son as he plummeted from the sky.

She held him in her arms. He was breathing hard.

When his opponent descended, the crowd was in disbelief because Ark was unscathed.

Hailey gritted her teeth in anger. "You've gone too far. It's obvious my son is outmatched, yet you made him suffer instead of ending it quickly."

"So this is why he's too arrogant for his own good. You spoiled him too much," Ark retorted.

Hailey's anger erupted, and she transformed into her dragon form.

Unlike Ashley, there was no roar, no buildup—it happened in an instant.

The power of her form was on a completely different level. Just by existing, she darkened the sky.

This was the power of the strongest queen—second only to the Overlord.

"Oh, so you're really going to attack a contestant just because I beat your son? Then what's the point of this tournament if you're going to punish anyone who tries to win?"

His words made the spectators nod in agreement.

Hailey hesitated, realizing she let her emotions get the better of her. This was who she was—when it came to her loved ones, she could become a total psycho in an instant.

"I don't care..."

Seeing her begin to lose control, the other queens intervened.

"Hailey, calm down," Lucy was the first to speak, while Mirelyn cast a healing spell on Ashley.

"Easy for you to say! Your son wasn't the one who got beaten half to death!"

She was exaggerating. Everyone knew a dragon's durability was second to none. Especially Ashley—he could lose all his limbs and still regenerate it given enough time.

Besides, Ashley only having superficial wounds was more than enough proof that his opponent was holding back and had no intention of killing him.

The two tried to reason with Hailey, but she didn't listen—at least, not until Ashley spoke himself.

"Mother, please stop. I lost because I'm weaker."

For someone as proud as him to say that shook Hailey to her core. It snapped her out, and she transformed back to her human form.

"Son, you did well. Given enough time, you'll become stronger than him," she reassured him.

"That will never happen," Ark interjected.
