Life Drain System

"Nope, let's get to it." Yin replies.

"Alright." Yin comments, standing up from the nice hard wood yet comfortable chairs.

Yueliang follows suit, but much more lethargic from all of the cake he just ate, asking. "How can you still move so easily? I mean we both ate a whole cake, yet you seem as if you never touched it."

Yin smiles saying. "Come now, you should know how to solve such a basic issue. It is just a matter of using mana... Well, you know."

"Okay, I get it, just because I want to savor my food, instead of processing it faster this happens." Yue groans a little while heading up onto the stage.

Arriving on his side of the stage, Yue sees the judge on his way over. The two wait patiently for the so - so looking judge to appear. While pretty, she looked like a mess, presumably from trying to stop a previous match.

Once she arrived on stage, not even caring for the rules at this point she says. "Begin" Thus starting the match, while cutting the air with her hands making a straight line horizontally, with a hole in the middle.

Yin stands in the same position not caring to move, just having immediately formed his sword, a han jian chinese sword, whilst Yueliang did the same. The judge watches, wondering to herself. 'Why are they not yet attacking each other?'

A few moments later, the two men start walking around the square ring in a circle, glaring into each others eyes as if the first to move was destined to lose. This continues on, as the tension in the air rises. Every few moments after, they swing their swords in unison, as if this was a perfectly timed dance. Arcs of light flying across the stage cancelling each other out as they reached the middle at the same time.

Getting worried while waiting, and feeling that with this tension growing, as well as the attacks the judge thinks to herself. 'I feel like their next attack will blow this place apart, however if I try to stop them, certainly I will be torn to shreds.' She thinks as beads of sweat start to form, eventually saying. "That is the match! It is a draw."

Not hearing a word she said, the two continue. Seeing this, the judge leaves the arena stage, and runs to a side room. She knocks on the door quickly three times, almost a fourth before she sees Blake and says. "Boss, I tried ending the match but they will not stop. I worry they will tear this place to shreds with their next strike. What should I do?"

"I do not know who would dare.... Not again." Blake sighs as she walks out of the room and sees the match.

The female judge, quickly asks out of curiosity. "Boss, has this happened before?"

"Right, I just summoned you yesterday. To answer your question, yes and no. Also, since we have yet to form the contract, you do not have such memories of it occurring. Anyways, that young man is my boss, while the one he is fighting is one of his subordinates like me." Blake says in an exhausted tone, not wanting to deal with this.

As Blake walks up to the stage and loudly exclaims. "Yueliang, help I am dying!"

Hearing this Yin, and Yue quickly look towards the voice, before Yue asks, calmly addressing the situation. "What is going on? I thought you said you where dying."

"The work load is killing me." Blake comes up with a random excuse, and then continues sadly. "Look at the floor beneath you. You are once again destroying my place. Does this look like a training hall, where things are expected to be destroyed? I mean seriously, I anticipated damage, thus the hard materials I used, but if you intend to keep doing this, could you at least put up some arrays so I do not have to keep fixing your mess."

Yueliangs eyes turn to the stage, and widen seeing a 2 meter deep crater in the arena. Then about to speak, he gets cut off. "I ..."

Blake interrupting says calmly. "Before you say anything, I do understand that I am your subordinate, and you treat us as if we are in heaven compared to others, but please be more careful. It is very tiring, and expensive to get such materials, due to the fact that I have to pay traveling merchants."

"I see, and here I was wondering where exactly you got your materials. Anyways, I apologize for causing you so much trouble. I can reimburse you if you want, but in the mean time there are some matters I have to take care of. However we can discuss the array matter later, and until then is there anything else?" Yueliang responds.

"*Sigh. It is not that I want to be reimbursed, just please be more careful in the future." Blake says in a soft and caring tone.

Yueliang observes her reaction before saying. "I will, thank you for bringing it to my attention. Having so much fun I did not even realize the damage that we caused."

Yin staying silent this time, finally says. "Well, thank you for the arena to have fun, however sun rise is only a few hours away, and there is much to do. Shall we be going Yue?"

Turning to look at Yin, then back at Blake then Yue says. "Alright, well, we must be going. Please have a wonderful night. I hope to see you soon Blake."

Blake just waves in farewell as the two walk towards the door, Yueliang even looking back once or twice. Walking out the door, the two could be seen laughing in the distance.

"So tell me, why are you in such a rush to leave? Was something wrong?"

"There was not a problem, but I can feel something different. Thinking you may want to check it out, is the reason, however if you do not want to it is all good. We can go back inside."

"No need, even if we wanted too, going back would just produce an awkward silence between us." Yue answers, and then continues. "Anyways, you said you felt something, what is it?"

Yin answers. "I am surprised you did not feel it. Anyways, the pull of the moon is much stronger tonight, I worry something could be happening. Although, I have no idea where to begin."

"That seems interesting, give me a moment." Yue replies before thinking to Yang. 'What do you know about this? Anything good or just a natural phenomena?'

Yang swiftly replies. "Yes, I do know about it, however good I do not know if that is what one could call it. Although it is a natural phenomena on this planet, it happens when a lot of blood is shed just a day or so prior. Anyways, all that happens is that the water from oceans and lakes will pulse inward until said place is washed clean."

Yue asks curiously. 'So does that mean it was not caused by us, since no blood remains of that instance?'

"One would think that, but how am I supposed to know? Anyways, while I did say that the water would flow to clean said area, it also moves to restore the balance of the world." Yang adds.

'So basically you are telling me, the moon intends to kill me to restore balance?' Yue asks.

"To put it simply yes."

'Then what confuses me now is why this world has so much war in such a situation.'

"Yes that is the question on my mind as well. However if I am not wrong, I think it may be more complex. Such as in war multiple people killing others. Maybe the moon just wants to take out any one person who causes too much death. Although, I am sure such a think would not be a problem for you right?" Yang says jokingly, knowing this will turn out in one of three ways. Those being run, stay, or compromise. The question is which will Yue choose.

'Just wonderful, could you at least tell me how much time I have?'

"Hmm, well if the strength of the moons keeps increasing, at this rate, you probably only have 12 hours if you are lucky, 3 if you are not."

'Seriously, but what about the towns between us, would they not get wiped out along the way?' Yue asks worriedly.

Yang excitedly replies. "Nope, while it flows inland, the moon actually lifts the new water into the air. Oh right. I guess, I did not describe it well enough. When I said it pulses, it is like a heart in a human, producing new cells. In this case the moon, causes the water to reproduce. And to make matters worse, once it finds you the new water will continue to multiply until it kills you."

Yueliang sighs and says with a hint of surprise. 'You seem awfully excited for a body of water to kill us. However, that aside, what can I do to either fix this or some how over come this situation?'
