Chapter 236 - Chapter 236 A Hungover Guild Fight

As Lily and Thomas walked away from the table and towards Mira and Mary, Thomas mumbled "I knew I shouldn't have joined this competition." Lily stared at him and said "It's your own fault for having such a huge lead in a drinking competition." Mira stared at Thomas and asked "Are you going to be okay?" Thomas glanced around her and said "I should be fine in a few minutes." Mary held onto Thomas's hand and said "You should drink water." Lily nodded and said "Yeah he could really use a glass." As they stood there the announcer lady approached Thomas and tapped him on his shoulder as she said "It looks like your guild also decided to participate in the combat portion of our competition." The lady began to drag Thomas away as she said "Come on, your guild needs you." Jules stared at Thomas and said "Your not looking to good right now, maybe you should sit this one out." Thomas glanced at him and asked "Where's Sarah?" Jules sighed and said "She passed out so I left her in a nearby inn." As all of the people that were walking around cleared away from the fountain the announcer lady shouted "Our next event consists of a little fighting between guilds, the rules are simple, all you have to do is beat them until they can't fight any more." A bald man pointed to the lady's and asked what happens if we accidentally kill the other guild members?" The lady stared at him and said "Killing is not against the rules but please try to refrain from doing so as we have kids in the audience." The lady glanced at Jules and said "One last thing, are you fine with having him participate?" Jules glanced at Thomas who was barely standing and said "We should be fine." The lady nodded and said "Well then that's everything, you may all begin." Jules glanced at Thomas and asked "What's our plan of attack?" Thomas covered his mouth and ran over to the pile of barrels as he threw up into one Jules said "I see your not to worried about a plan right now." Thomas raised his head from the barrel and said "Poppy please remove the hangover effects." As he continued to throw up in the barrel Jules walked over to him and whispered "I don't know if this matters to you or not but we are currently the center of attention, they are literally surrounding us as we speak." Thomas lifted his head and stared at him as he said "Just tell them to screw off I'm not in the mood to deal with this right now." Thomas covered his mouth and mumbled "I'll help out in a minute." As he continued to throw up Jules said "We are screwed." As Thomas hung his head in the barrel he mumbled "Thats the most alcohol I've ever drank in one go, I'll never do it again." Jules glanced at the people who were surrounding them as he shouted "If you can stop throwing up for five minutes that would be great!" The man pushed Jules out of the way and said "Hey demi human give me some face or I'll break your, got it?" Thomas glared at the man with a sinister look as he said "If you don't back off I'll kill you, I'm not dealing with whatever this is right now." The man took a step back and nervously said "what's up with that reaction?" Thomas sobered his mouth and mumbled "Not again." As he put his head back into the barrel the man smiled and said "For a minute there I thought you could actually do it, but now I see your just some demi human who thinks he's a big shot." Jules jumped in front of them and said "Stop harassing the leader!" Thomas lifted his head from the barrel and said "My heads starting to feel better." Jules glanced at him and said "Seriously, already?" The man punched Jules and knocked him away breaking his amour and sending him crashing into some barrels. The man took a step towards Thomas and said "Looks like your the only one left for your guild now." Thomas stared at him and said "Everything's still a bit fuzzy, if you can give me a minute that'd be great." The man picked Thomas up by his shoulder and slammed his head into his as he shouted "Why Wait when I can kill you now!" The man stared at Thomas while still holding his shoulder as he said "Do you have any last words?" Thomas covered his mouth and said "Please put me down." The man dropped Thomas and stepped back as he shouted "What the hell?" Thomas stood there and mumbled "You know what Poppy just remove my ability to feel anything." As Thomas took his hand away from his mouth he said "That's much better." The man punched Thomas in his stomach and said "You disgusting animal freak." Thomas took the punch and coughed up some blood as he smiled and said "Right now I can't feel a thing." Thomas grabbed his sword and tossed it away as he said "Since I cant feel anything I don't even notice the hangover." As Jules stood up he glanced at Thomas and asked "What the hell are you standing around for!" Thomas made a fist and said "You call that a punch?" As the purple aura covered the entire fountain area Thomas smiled sinisterly and said "Now then you didn't even bother listening to my warning, so how does a blow at full power sound?" Thomas punched and stopped inches away from his face forcing the impact to push him and send him tumbling across the ground towards a wall. The man quickly stood up and asked "What the hell are you?" Thomas smiled and said "Me?" Thomas stopped walking and stood about a yard away as he said "I'm just a demi human with a lot of free time." The man glanced at the announcer lady and said "To hell with this, I don't think anyone in this damn city can compete with him." Many of the people began to leave the fountain area as Thomas stood there in the center of the purple covered fountain area. Once just about everyone was gone a man walked up to Thomas and said "You seem to have most people impressed, however I believe you still have much more power your not showing us." As the purple aura came back inside of Thomas's body he smiled and said "If I said I had a spell that would turn this whole city to dust would you believe me?" The man held his hand up to Thomas and said "Forget about the rest of this, I would like to challenge you to a little one on one." Thomas glanced at him and said "Do you think you can handle it?" The man smiled and said "Maybe not alone, but I suppose I should tell you that a lot of the stronger members of the guilds aren't here right now." Thomas stared at him and said "I'm intrigued, tell me why aren't they here?" The man pointed to Thomas and said "Right now they are trying to suppress the demon lords forces, the time has come for him to return and right now they're doing their best to hold out." Thomas raised his hand to the man and said "If that's the case I don't care where they are, but just know you can either step out now or prepare for a fight." The man smiled and said "Perhaps your not understanding what I'm trying to tell you, the only reason I know that they were the strongest is because I'm one of the demon lords underlings." The man began to walk towards Thomas as he said "This was all planned, we got the strongest people out of this city, and I was here to wipe out everyone else, although I must admit I didn't suspect anyone of your caliber to be here." The man raised his hand to the sky and created a purple and black ball that spun rapidly and changed the color of the sky into a dark grey color as he shouted "Its all the same to me, even if I have to wipe out this pathetic demi human in order to help my lord!" Thomas stared at the purple and black ball as he said "He's packing a lot of mana into that thing." The man began to hover into the air with the ball as he shouted "This is the beginning of the end for all of you pathetic creatures, may this day forever live on in demon history." Thomas began to walk towards him as he took his jacket off and tossed it to the side while saying "This is really annoying you know that." The man stared at Thomas and said "I see your not even dazed in the slightest, in that case I may have my work cut out for me." Thomas stood there and smiled as he said "You better not be pulling any punches when we fight, you got that?" The man laughed and said "Your really are desperate to die aren't you?"
