Chapter 26 - Tournament Begins

*******Knight Chief Side*******

After their meticulous preparations and them possessing naturally stronger physiques and power's, the 2 fighter's Abberon and Red Zero are probably the strongest among those present here except the Knight Chief who is an 8th circle magician protecting the King. The Knight Chief an 8th-Circle Master and also one of the Strongest in the Country is shocked at seeing the 2 fighters and their incredible strength which even she couldn't perceive, they have hidden their aura to such a complete degree that there is no leak in their aura making it impossible to perceive their strength by anyone except her the indescribable pressure exuded by them showed that they were masters of the highest calibre rivaling even her and probably stronger than her which made her shudder, she who was an elf who have naturally long lives and was revered as the strongest in the Country if she had to look at these 2 kids who look like 16 and 18 and have power comparable to her own will obviously have disheartened her. Although she was happy to finally meet someone whom she can converse with because of her status as the Elf Princess, Strongest in the Kingdom and also the Knight Chief there are none whom she can call as a friend. Which made her excited for this match.

*******Red Side*******

The envoy from the DevilKin has arrived evoking a strong killing intent from Abberon, I tell her to release it only on the stage. Their 8 strongest contestants have arrived and ours were already waiting in the waiting rooms, we gathered around and greeted each other all of them have decent strengths with 2 of them even being a 7th-Circle expert although the foundations weren't as strong these were some of the best talents in the country among the younger generation. 3 of them are humans, 2 of them are DragonKin(similar to my old form with more human blood than dragon), and 1 of them was a GiantKin the smaller variations of giants who don't have the same stature or strength as an original giant but is strong nonetheless. The GiantKin and one of the DragonKin are the two 7th-Circle experts. The DragonKins is a martial artist and the GiantKin uses a massive axe to fight, the 3 humans use swords, hammer and a lance.

The seeds were declared soon and it appears that the match ups are quite decent although they have three 8th-Circle Magicians their power levels are just barely cutting it. Me and Abberon can defeat all three of them each at the same time without expending much effort but it might be difficult for these guys. There are also three 7th-Circle experts and two 6th-Circle, among them the most dangerous was probably the 6th-Circle expert he had an exceptionally good Mana pool and concentration but it wasn't really that much to be concerned over. The rules were that there were none, The first person to be deemed unable to participate anymore or surrender will lose and the other party will be deemed as a winner and killing was not disallowed which means we can kill our opponents if we one-shot them. I see certain things about them in their status which was peculiar so I informed my team member's who were matched up with them to be careful about those particular aspects as I wished them the best of luck for their matches.

The matches begin and those two have their matches in the 3rd and the 5th Match, there are three 8th-Circle Master's which makes me feel weird at their fighting ability although I can defeat them in a One Vs One how do they have that many high level fighting force. It makes me worried, even the King has a solemn expression although he isn't showing much emotion. Anyway thinking anymore won't do it any good so let's watch the matches in order to see their strengths.

The first match was between a B-Class adventurer and a 6th-Circle expert from their team, although both have the same cultivation it appears as though the DevilKin holds an advantage because of their superior physique, the first fight is against the human wielding a Great-sword and a shield to protect him from attacks his opponent who is wielding a longsword exchange a few moves when the opponent suddenly dropped his Longsword and picked up two knives and got close to him in an instant while trying to cut him everywhere, this appears to be the worst matchup possible for Garm the B-Class Adventurer a person whom is used to dealing with strong opponents against an agility type but unexpectedly the agile DevilKins attacks don't land.

He was aiming to confuse Garm with his longsword technique and then to end his match with a knife but it appears that Garm has seen through it. I cheered for him in my mind as I kept watching the match, although at a disadvantage Garm seems to be reducing the stamina of the agile DevilKin in order to defeat him and then it happens the Devil misses a beat and Garm not wanting to miss this opportunity uses his heavy shield and bangs it on the DevilKins head achieving the first victory. We congratulate him and when I asked him how did he know about the different characteristics of the DevilKin he said that Red informed him. Seriously that boy read through this opponents actual fighting style which even I couldn't .

The next match begins and this time it is the 6th-Circle Dragon Kin against a 6th-Circle DevilKin, the match was started and without saying anything the DevilKin used a poison gas and paralysed the DragonKin while also making the sensations multiple times stronger and then started to cut him with his knife but the match was stopped seeing that the DragonKin can't fight anymore, the entire match was over in less than a minute, that Devil is dangerous. They seem to be looking down on us a lot.

The next match was Red Vs an 8th Circle DevilKin, this DevilKin appears to be their stronger 8th Circle Magician, which made all of us feel weird about this matchup the first 8th Circle Master

who is equivalent to an S-Class Adventurer an Elite of the Kingdom having a match against a 6th Circle Magician. When I asked him about how many Circle's he has, he said 6 which made me unsure about my prior evaluation but then he entered the stage and without saying anything lifted his hand and what happened next shocked us off our chair's the DevilKin was lifted in midair while he was trying to resist and squashed like a bug without being able to do anything what was even more shocking was that he hadn't even moved from the starting point and hasn't even let out a drop of sweat, which means that it wasn't a big deal for him. Although I understood how strong he was I didn't think he would be strong to this degree. When I looked at the Head of the envoy a Peak 8th Circle Master whom even I would have a hard time fighting against had a cramped face and was furious. The loss of an 8th Circle Master is definitely too great and moreover a loss to a 16 year old human boy.
