Chapter 87 Only One Will Survive
Aaron stared at her for some seconds, then opened his mouth. "We aren\'t here to take about me, but about you and your people."
Upon Hearing her people, Rhea got serious.
Aaron nodded in approval, and started. "Is there anything I need to know about the second Continent? I know some things about that land, but that was all in the past, I need to know the current situation."
Rhea thought for a moment, and sighed. "There Is a race which works for the Grand Priests, they\'re responsible for keeping an eye on us."
"Race? What Race?" Aaron asked with a slight frown.
"Red Orcs... You know, like the green skin ones… But this red Orcs are vicious, ruthless, and kills without thinking... They have a City with an army of 10,000... Their ruler is also a Supreme."
Aaron relaxed on his seat, lost in thought, he could attack the city and wiped them out, and take over the whole second continent, but he\'s lazy.
"Ok. You\'ll be leading the way, Protean will be in charged--"
"--Huh?" Rhea was confused. "Won\'t you be going with us?" She asked in mild confusion.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"I\'ll be going with you guys, But no one should know I\'m the king... Protean will be the leader of the group."
Rhea looked at Protean who stood behind Aaron, and nodded her head. "Ok." She agreed.
Aaron closed his eyes, then opened it. The next moment, Modena appeared in the room.
"My King." She bowed.
"Modena. You, and Emily will be coming with us." He turned his head to the door, as Egon walked inside.
"My king."
"Commander Egon, I have a Job for you... The moment we leave, send a submission letter to the Orcs, Dwarves, and Beastfolks, asking them to submit to Terra... We\'ll give them a week to decide, and when we return we\'ll know either to take their kingdoms by force or not."
"My king, What about the human empire, and Elves Kingdom?" Egon asked.
"I\'ll personally take care of those two... And the Academy."
Egon nodded, while Aaron turned to Rhea.
"Is that all?"
"Hmm... At times, The Goblins are a pain in the ass... They like anything under the skirt, and money."
Aaron nodded. "With a little show of our powers, they\'ll know how to behave."
\'I need to take over the three continents before the gates opened. With Michael\'s warning, I\'ll have to cut some of my plans short.\'
He turned to Egon. "Commander Egon, add some irresistible benefits if they submit to our Kingdom, Gold Coins isn\'t an issue."
Egon nodded with a smile.
"That\'s all for now, Let\'s head to the Arena, everyone is already waiting."
He stood up, and walked outside the room, followed by Protean.
_____
[Arena.]
Currently, more than 60% of the demons were all sitted on the Audience\'s section, yelling, cheering, and cussing out loud.
Zukor stood at the center of the Arena, with Glad, Nlad, the council elder, his mother, the twenty female spies, and more than ten criminals, standing beside him.
They were a total of fifty people, all staring at the Podium, High above the ground.
Everyone quiet down hearing the trumpet, which signaled the entry of the royal family.
Zukor and the rest below stared with killing intent, bloodlust, and disdain, as the royal family sat down, and Aaron stepped forward.
"I Welcome everyone for coming to witness the convicts battle for their survival, some of these guys don\'t even deserve a second chance to live, but as a kind and forgiving Emperor, I\'m giving them a second Chance... You all know the rules, and there\'s only one that matters; The winner will fight the reigning king, and if he/she survives for ten rounds, they\'ll be freed, and their rights, and freedom will be granted... Note: only one of you will be released!!"
"Yeahhhh!!!!!!!!"
"The Emperor is right!!"
"Hail Emperor Aaron!!!"
"Good!!"
"This will be so much fun!!!"
"Yes!!!!!"
All the Audience were frantic, extremely energetic... Screaming on the top of their voice, showing their acceptance.
The fifty people below looked at one another with countless emotions... Listening to the surrounding screams.
"As you all know! There\'s No Rule! So good luck!"
Aaron said to the fifty, stepped back, and sat down... Then Commander Egon stepped forward.
"The contest is arranged in a one-VS-one battle, you all can see the basket on the ground, walked up to it, and pick a Paper... That paper has a number in it, and anyone who took the same number as you, will be the one you\'ll be fighting... The Emperor is Merciful, so he\'s unsealing all your powers, placing you at the peak of your strength... And warning; don\'t try anything stupid, there\'s a barrier around the Arena, created by the Emperor himself... So... If you try to destroy it, or even deliberately attacked it, You\'ll be killed on spot... Now, pick your numbers."
Zukor looked at the people around him, took a deep breath and walked forward. He picked up a paper and opened it, seeing the number 10 written on it.
"What is your number?" Egon asked.
With gritted teeth, Zukor yelled: "10!!"
"10 it is! Next!"
The Queen, Zukor\'s Adoptive Mother, and Aaron\'s grandmother, walked forward. She picked the number 3.
"Your number?"
She looked up at Egon with killing intent, and hissed out: "Number 3."
The female Spies looked at one another, all emotional, they had worked together for more than three years now, and sees each other like sisters, and now... They\'re being forced to fight one another to the death.
"L-Leader, Will Master K-Kara save us?" A lady asked, she was trembling in fear.
None of them remembered how Aaron defeated them last night, they just woke up and found their Powers gone. They were horrified, and lost, when the guards dragged them to the Arena.
"I don\'t know, With Aaron\'s strength, we won\'t be able to destroy the barrier, let alone defeat him..." The leader, a lady with long blonde heir, turned towards her group, and heaved a sigh.
"We can only rely on one of us, who\'ll leave here alive and report to Masted Kara, she\'ll avenge us."
"What.... What are you saying, Leader? That we should kill our fellow sisters?" A lady was stunned.
"Do you have any other way out from here?" The leader asked back.
The 19 ladies all remained silent. Before they could say or do anything, they felt their Powers returning in full.
"This?"
They were all stunned.
Egon\'s Voice sounded.
"The Emperor had returned your powers, so you can summon or use anything to survive... We\'re still waiting for the girls."
The Leader exhaled, and walked forward, taking a piece of paper from the basket.
The rest looked at one another, and walked towards it, taking the remaining papers.
"What are your numbers?"
"Number 4."
"Number 3."
"Number 15."
"Number 25."
"Number 16."
"Number 25."
"Number 6."
"Number 16."
Out of the twenty females, ten got the same numbers, which means, they\'ll have to fight one another to the death.
Those who got the same numbers looked at each other in Horror, As Egon continued.
"Good! We\'ll start from those holding number 1... Glad and Bivo!"
"Yeahhh!!!"
"Bivo!! Bivo!! Bivo!!!!"
The audience yelled as a huge muscular man, measuring 8 feet tall, stepped forward... Glad also took a step forward.
"Ok, Those who aren\'t fighting, move back from the Arena!!"
With Egon\'s word, the other 48 Convicts all stepped back, leaving the two in the center.
"Begin!!"
Bivo, who was chestless, turned towards Glad and bowed at him. While Glad calmly stared at him.
"Don\'t take this personal--"
"--Shut up, I don\'t even know you, how can it be personal?" Glad cut him off, and got on a fighting stance.
Bivo stared at him for some seconds, and with a flick of his wrist, a huge Axe appeared in his hand.
"Yesss!!!!!!"
"Burst open his skull, Bivo!!"
"Yes!!! We want to see blood!!!"
"Same!!"
The audience were excited, seeing Bivo\'s action.
Bivo grinned, and shot towards Glad, he raised his Axe and smashed down on him.
BOOM!
Glad leaped back, dodging the Axe, which cracked the ground open... The moment his feet touched the ground, he lunched towards Bivo, whose Axe was still stuck.
"DIE!!"
Glad\'s claws elongated, as he appeared in front of Bivo.
"Face my Warrior strike!!"
Bivo removed his Axe, and smashed it down at the charging Glad; who moved to the side, effortlessly dodging Bivo\'s attack, again.
"You!!" Bivo turned to his right, seeing Glad rushing towards him on all four.
"Huh?"
\'Caused of his shock, Bivo was a second late to react, as Glad got closer to him, and leaped over his Head.
Whoosh!!
Glad landed on the other side, blood flowing down his claws.
Everyone watched in shock, as Bivo\'s head fell from his neck, then his body.
THUD!
Silence....
