Demon Emperors
Ch.70 - Tournament Match

Nemesis Gracia, head of group 1230. Currently Nemesis is trying his hardest to stay standing firmly in the middle of the fight.

With an irregular breath and sweat all over his body, he said. “Why are you all after me!?”

“You do not deserve a hope from His Majesty the King.” Answer one of the members of group 3 who is currently besieging Nemesis.

“Hahaha.. It turns out you all envy seeing me.” Nemesis smiled cynically while staring at the look on the face of one of the enemy members who answered his question earlier.

“You still have a smile!? Look at your fortress... With just a little touch, it will collapse!”

Nemesis did not turn his gaze in any direction, he only focused on his enemies in order to avoid attacks that could injure his body, while waiting for a gap to get out of the group 3 siege.

Although their bodies can regenerate quickly, they still get pain, when their bodies are injured due to fatal attacks.

Whereas with the other members of the group of 1230, they could only survive and continue to survive with the aim of protecting the fort to remain intact.

Since the start of the match, they had only defended without making an attack, as basically most of the members of the group of 1230 were low-level.

“If this state of affairs continues, we will lose..”.

“Ketuaa... what should we do?”

“Free, he will not be able to hear our remarks. Group 3 attacked him continuously without stopping.”.

“Then, what should we do!?”

 *Deeemmbbb... Duarr.*The sound of explosions due to the blazing fire that rotated in the middle of the fighting arena.

The epicenter of the blaze was at Nemesis's previous location, but today the audience and members of the group of 1230 do not see Nemesis there.

“Ketuaa…. Where are you!?” Said one of his members who was on the side of the defensive line of the fort, he shouted very loudly while running towards the blazing fire that was burning, scorching out the green-leafed trees around him.

“Wait, do not go there.” One of the other 1230 members resisted the running pace of the member who seemed worried about the state of Nemesis earlier.

After a few seconds, the blaze slowly disappeared from view, now faintly visible in the eyes of the audience, the figure of a soldier standing tall among dozens of soldiers lying limp on the ground with their bodies and armor charred.

The entire audience was astonished at the scene, they were all amazed by the fire magic that Nemesis, the group leader of the 1230s had just exhibited.

Even the entire 1230s were shocked to see the powerful magic that Nemesis had just unleashed, all this time they were friends with Nemesis in the same army, but they had just learned that Nemesis was a warrior without a very powerful title.

Finally all the members of the group of 1230 smiled to see the state of Nemesis who remained standing firmly among the dozens of fallen enemy soldiers, who fell down, now they all feel the turning point of the epic comeback that makes the spirit of the members of 1230 back smoldering.

But the happy feeling of having taken down the enemy did not last long, just a few seconds later, Nemesis who stood firmly against his members suddenly fell helplessly down.

“Chairman..” Shouted dozens of soldiers members of the group of 1230 while rushing to run towards Nemesis.

As the fight paused for a moment, not a single member of the two groups fought each other or exchanged attacks, either, they all ran towards each other who were knocked down by the whirlpool of tornado fire caused by Nemesis's magic.

Shortly after, one of the soldiers raised Nemesis's head slowly and then placed it on his thigh, he asked Nemesis with a feeling of worry!? Hang on..”

“Te..nang... Quickly... destroy ben....tengnya...” Replied Nemesis with a heavy voice withstanding the pain all over his body, while pointing towards the fortress of group 3 which was not guarded by a single soldier.

“Wait... Stopn..” Shout one of the members of group 3 who noticed the movement of one of the members of group 1230.

“Hiyaaaa..”.

*Krakkk... Krakk... Byarrr..* The pile of stone blocks considered as fortresses, has now been destroyed by the attack launched by the group of 1230.

“Tort group 3 collapsed.. Group 1230 won..” Saying Ugly Girl loudly to be heard in every audience ear.

A round of applause from the audience roared to decorate the end of the fight.

“Wait... wait... this is not fair, look at my colleagues....they are unconscious..” Rebellious one of the members of group 3, he protested the decision of Ugly Girl openly in front of hundreds of thousands of spectators. 

At once Eliza stood up from her seat next to Cyrus, then she said with a loud tone and an annoyed look. “Basic loser!! Didn't you read the rules!? On the battlefield, no matter how severe your condition or your comrades... If you are weak, you will be killed and your kingdom destroyed!!”

“But, The mu... Arrghhh.

For some reason suddenly fresh blood from the body of the group 3 soldiers who protested the decision of the Ugly Girl earlier, came out very heavily from the pores of her skin, she said, in just a period of about 3 seconds the soldier fell lifelessly, even in his body there was no more blood left.

[Getting 139 honor points.]

[Getting 1 Demon Soul.]

All the soldiers who watched the incident, they are still not aware and understand what happened with the mysteriously killed soldier, except Eliza Charlotte.

“King... what are you doing!?” Said Eliza in surprise after seeing the incident that befell the soldier.

The state of silence, the faces of the soldiers suddenly pale, after hearing the words and questions Eliza to Cyrus, they finally understood what the cause of the death of the soldier.

“I don't need such a soldier..” With ease Cyrus answered Eliza's question, she replied in her trademark style. The head that rested on his right hand, the elbow on the back of a beautiful chair, and the right leg crossed over the thigh of his left leg, of course with a calm expression like a cold-blooded demon.

Hearing Cyrus' reply, making things even quieter than before, even the birds that perched on the tree suddenly flew high in fear.

Queen Eliza tried to remain calm, which she had originally stood up because of the protest, suddenly she sat back slowly after hearing the answer and saw the expression of her King.

“Keren...” Eliza said in her heart while putting a beautiful smile on her face, then she said out loud to all the soldiers watching the game. “Did you all hear the words of His Majesty the King!?”

“We heard His Majesty..” Said the soldiers who were in the audience, they all said simultaneously while giving a respectful attitude. As for the group of 3 who were still conscious, they could only pay their respects to the King and Queen, without taking a single word out.

Group 3 did not answer Eliza's words instead of having a grudge against the King or Queen, but they were all currently shivering in fear.

Let alone to make a sound, even they were currently unable to control the expression that currently looked pale resisting the nausea while glaring at his eyeballs.

“Alright.. Ugly girl, I leave the rest to you.” Said Eliza while glancing at the soldier who is currently still in the middle of the battle arena.

“Good, Your Majesty.” replied Ugly Girl while giving a respectful attitude, then she said to the servants of the royal palace in charge of helping all kinds of interests and the course of the tournament. “Servants, quickly help them. The tournament will continue and the next match will start soon.”.

“Good, Ugly Girl.”
