The next match was again another Human who uses an estoc to fight but was defeated easily against a 7th Circle DevilKin who kept cutting her body repeatedly until she gave up from the excruciating pain. Looking at it Abberon who has been waiting for a long time to crush the DevilKin who attacked her people let out even more killing intent. She is still not strong enough to win against the King of the DevilKin so she is dying to cause some harm to them. Abberon got on the stage and her opponent was the weaker 8th Circle expert, as soon as the match began she casted a Curse Type- [Dark Magic] Eternal Flame which will keep on burning forever even after the body is destroyed the soul will keep burning at temperatures beyond smelting and then while he was screaming in pain, Abberon used her halberd and cut of his limbs and just before it was going to be declared to stop the match she pierced his heart killing him instantly it was her win. The envoy glared daggers at both of us and and released a massive amount of killing intent which would have made most people shudder in fear even those with 8 Circles but we just shrug it away making him more mad. He might choose to do something underhanded so we need to be careful. After this shocking display of instant death and torture the next match commenced. After which we had 1 wins and 2 losses, the DevilKin overwhelmed us using various underhanded methods and although the GiantKin tried very hard he couldn't win against the 8th Circle Magician but we managed to avoid any casualties on our side. Only the 7th-Circle DragonKin won against a 7th Circle expert.
This is a single elimination type Tournament and there are 8 matches in the first stage, then 4 matches in the next as Quarter Finals, then 2 matches as Semi-Finals and then the final match.
The stage 2 began and the first match was the human who wielded the Great sword and a shield against the 6th Circle DevilKin who uses poison for his attacks and he lost without being able to do anything because of the potency of the poison which even an elite potion couldn't protect against. The next match was me against the Devil who defeated the 6th Circle DragonKin in the last stage using superior magic, I use [Fusion Magic] on him which destroyed any and all traces of the DevilKin as I contemplated about the next enemy. The poison user was the most peculiar among them among them so it was best for me to fight him next. The next Match was Abberon vs the 7th Circle Devil that defeated the 6th Circle DragonKin and as soon as the match began she went forward at an incredible speed which was at the speed of lightning and decapitated him. Resulting in the death of another DeviKin, the leader of the envoy who was with the DevilKin was furious and wanted to come to the stage in order to fight us there, but was stopped by the other members of the envoy, while they whispered something in his ear which i used wind magic to figure it out which was that they aren't ready yet. Although still furious he sat back down which seemed weird but we decided to figure it out later so just in case I ask Un-Chan to see what is going on. The next match was against the 7th Circle DragonKin and a 8th Circle DevilKin who was aiming to kill that DragonKin, after a long hard battle the DragonKin couldn't deal much damage to the DevilKin anymore and under heavy injuries gave up. So the only remaining people from Dracrys Kingdom were only me and Abberon and from the DevilKin their strongest 8th Circle expert and the one that uses poison.
It was decided that the next 2 rounds would happen tomorrow, so we disperse for the day. The King wanted to meet with us and told us that we could stay at the Castle tonight and have a Banquet for our today's victories and also to be careful in case DevilKins try anything funny. We gratefully accepted it, although Abberon was only interested in sweets that might be prepared at the banquet. It appears that Demonkind didn't have any sweets in their diet so when Abberon was introduced to the world of sweets she has become stupidly obsessed over them, well i can't say anything about it because it's the same for me. What is it going to be i wonder.
Me and Abberon discuss about our match today and find out that those DevilKin's were indeed too weak and probably only promoted recently but that many is a surprise, besides that what were they not ready yet? A lot of questions lingered in our minds as we got dressed for the banquet, I was trained as the Heir of a Marquess the second highest ranking Noble family just below the Duke, and the possessor of Dragon blood in my veins and Abberon was a Bonafide Princess so she was prepared as well.
I wore a Black suit with a Red cape which has the insignia of my family on it, although I am on my Trial right now addressing the King in a Public setting requires certain position to avoid any unwanted disturbances and also the authority of a Marquess is much higher than most people so no one will try to mess with me. While Abberon wore a Red Dress and a black cape with my family insignia on it to symbolise that she is part of my peerage. Her look was stunning and matching of her status as the Demon Princess.
After about 15 minutes of wait the King came into the room with his Wife, Eldest daughter Tara and the Knight Chief. He said that today's banquet is just for us, to relax us and be prepared for tomorrow's battle. As well as discussing various things with the King, his family and the Knight Chief who was very interested in us. He raised his glass to toast us and so commenced the Banquet with the King.
