True King's Ecstasy
299 Tournament XXIX - Disaster
Everyone in the crowd panicked seeing their beloved leader getting thrown into the floor and making a huge crater.
Even calm Delviny felt her heart beating so fast because she knew if that amulet was able to absorb his mana, it might be able to harm him.
"Mother, quickly go check on him, I will try to hold these monsters," Delviny shouted, a bit before Daphnia could react, Velian stood up with his face leaking a little bit of blood.
"No way! She was able to injure him? Who is that woman?" Juno muttered, but even they didn't have time to talk freely as the demonic team kept attacking them.
Daphnia quickly ran and supported Velian but, by the time he got up, the strange woman and the old magician hag were nowhere to be seen.
"Damn it! Who is she? Mother, did you see her face?" Velian wanted to know, but Daphnia had no clue, so the only option he had was to capture more of these demonic humans to get more information or visit the place where all these problems originates from.
But is it really a wise option to walk into the enemies' trap without even knowing any information about them?
The question remained, but for now, Velian quickly got up and looked at the leader and the other two members of the blazing sun group, that kept fighting against his sister and Juno.
"Looks like these two have a surprise up their sleeves," Velian said, eyeing the demons warily after his defeat against the unknown woman.
All three members of the blazing sun, had sweat coming from their heads. They knew they had been abandoned by the woman, that promised to take revenge for them and they knew Velian had a method to deal with them.
"Avoid those violet-looking gems at any cost," The leader muttered while taking a defensive stance.
Juno grunted in response, her grip on her sword tightening. "They won't be getting past us," she growled.
Delviny nodded in agreement, her sword glowing with magical energy. "We've faced worse than this before," she said, a determined look on her face.
All three members expected a sudden attack from Velian, but unexpectedly he doesn't as he kept insulting them.
"Woah! Sucks to be you guys, your old hag and that woman escaped leaving you here to die," He provoked them without going for the kill, but he showed that he can give them death anytime.
Velian had three violet stones, and on the other hand, he showed them the flames that he used to create these stones.
"Confess now! And I'll let you live, or else-" Velian said, but he couldn't even finish as the demons charged at them, their twisted forms moving with unnatural speed. Velian met their attack head-on, his sword flashing in the sunlight. Delviny and Juno fought with equal ferocity, their weapons striking true.
"We can't! Even if want to say it, we can't please help," They begged hoping Velian would be soft enough to help them, but they were wrong.
Instead of the sadness-filled eyes and soft faces, they expected to see, his face was filled with disappointment and anger.
"What a useless bunch! Well, not like I have any right to complain because I have been nothing but taking damages recently,"
"Please don't kill us," It wasn't the leader that became humble instead it was you get members, who couldn't take any more of this attack and pain.
"Now! Now! I can't kill you like that, we have known each other for several times now," Vekian said and gave a smile, but before they could even react, he threw all three stones at them and they got stuck in their bodies creating a bizarre scene of them twisting in pain in the middle of the arena.
The demons writhed in agony, their insides burning slowly from the violet stones and they felt their organs melting from the pain.
"How dare you!" one of the demons spat, its voice full of venom. "We will make you pay for this!"
Velian didn't flinch, his eyes cold and merciless as he watched the demons suffer. "You brought this upon yourselves, if you had answered me truthfully, this wouldn't have happened," he said, his voice laced with a hint of satisfaction.
The demons continued to curse and writhe in pain, but Velian remained unmoved. He had been on a mission to rid the world of these monsters that had unknown origins, and he had no sympathy for them.
"Please," one of the demons begged, its voice barely a whisper. "Have mercy."
But Velian merely shrugged. "Mercy is a luxury I cannot afford, I have too many enemies and I can't let anyone live knowing that they are going to come after me," he said, his tone final.
"Die!" Seeing the stones working slowly, Velian got close to them and used his own flames which quickly turned them into ashes leaving nothing.
Somehow the crowd, which was observing this incident cheered Velian instead of running away in fear, as most of them saw how he heroically defeated them and the rumours started spreading about his heroic acts.
The best about demons remained in the city, and the people started assuming many different things.
But they knew one thing for clear after seeing Velian's battle.
"He is not a normal leader, he is a hero that is created by God for humans to lead us against demonic creatures,"
The talk about Velian being a hero spread throughout the whole city within a single day, and everything started settling down, as Velian had to order everyone to calm down.
He had many things to deal with but before all that, the tournament came to a hold as things didn't go as expected.
Even though some adventurers complained the only group that got qualified to the final without any weird power remained on Velian's side because he promised he would re-establish Ellena and her brother's noble house and give them a baron rank.
"Now! How are we going to deal with this problem and how are we going to convey the truth to normal people?" Looking at the crowd in front of him, Velian questioned.
