"Now, nobody is going to disturb us."
I grinned in satisfaction looking at both Dragons.
This much show of power will be enough to keep their mouth shut, finally, the one who was spying also showed herself.
I glanced beside me there was a... Loli again!?
She has long black hair that has a fringe and long bangs on either side of her face and dark-blue eyes. She is wearing a gothic lolita outfit. Appearance aside, there is no way a Goddess is going to look ugly.
Gods are innately beautiful.
But if I have to put her somewhere, she looks better than Ellen, Lena and Yves. I can easily put her on Freya's level, but unfortunately, her breasts can't match her level. She looks like a 14-year old, as per that standard I think it's sufficiently big enough.
Even as a God she looks much more beautiful than other Gods I have seen. But I don't think she is an ordinary Goddess. There is a terrifying level of magic power hiding inside her, don't tell me she is one of the three main gods?
Then, I looked in front of me and yelled. "Oye, Alex I kept my end of bargain, you keep your's."
Alex and James who were dazed at the dragons got back to their sense after hearing my voice. As for others. Hehe...
*ROOAAARRR....*
!!!
Both the dragons roared at the same time frightening everyone.
Manipulating both of them, I circled them around Alex and James, like a defensive wall. It should work, now, they are completely isolated from others giving them a wide space. No one will be able to intervene now.
"Now if nobody got any objections shall we start?"
My gaze wandered across them at last stopping on Edger.
Unsurprisingly, no one objected this time including Edger, after all, my tone this time was rather more like an order than asking his opinion. He can only choke his words bitterly.
"You both ready, I repeat the rules it's a Deathmatch, 1vs1,"
Both nodded. Since everything is fine let's get it started. I signalled the start of Duel.
"Start!"
Alex advanced circling mana around him. James was standing still with no sign of moving. He didn't even unsheath his sword.
Alex appeared in front of James and attacked directly towards his neck.
*Clank*
Alex dagger produced sharp noise of metal colliding. It stopped when it was just an inch away from James' neck.
James stopped it with just a finger.
His finger was covered in raw mana, he was using mana for body strengthening.
"Do you think it will be that easy?" James snorted and instantly many magic circles appeared beside him.
It was a powerful spell, mixed with [Earth magic and Fire Magic].
Numbers of meteorites gradually materialised in the sky and descended on Alex.
The sight was looking extremely mesmerising. The meteorites descending looked like the end of the world.
The rain of meteors fell towards Alex fiercely. The number of meteors was so great that it did not leave Alex space to evade.
Alex was forced to improvise. He knew if he wants to defeat James he can't do it by sheer power, And if he go for a lengthy fight for competing against stamina, he will just be giving a free victory to James.
James is a Demigod while he is only at the tenth level of cultivation. If he wanted to defeat him he needs to do it at once without giving him a chance to react, one swift hit, precise and straight, that's what he needs.
In one hit he has to put everything he got, ... one hit, will decide whether he is going to live or die today.
*Boom!*
The multiple meteorites struck the area blasting everything in its path. It created multiple explosions which blinded everyone watching. Dust clouds covered the whole area of impact.
The instance the clouds settled, a silhouette launched straight at James. Alex charged out of explosions there were signs of burns on his body but he ignored everything except James.
James' eyes narrowed. He hurriedly cast a barrier to protect himself from incoming attack.
Alex strengthened the flow of mana around him, and directly sliced off the barrier.
The barrier shattered like glass. James didn't panic, instead, he grinned. "You need to work harder if you want to injure me." James unsheathed his sword at the speed naked eye can't notice.
*Bam*
Both, Alex's dagger filled with wind magic and James sword with raw mana collided.
As a result, Alex got blown by the impact.
Without giving any chance for Alex to stabilise James vanished from his place and appeared next to him. "I would have easily killed you, right now." He grabbed one of Alex's shoulders and pulled out one of his hands.
"Ugh..." Alex groaned in pain as his left arm was ripped apart. James lifted Alex by another shoulder and tossed him away like trash.
*Crash*
Alex collided with the tree, entirely destroying it, his momentum didn't weaken and his body got smashed at the next tree...
In total it took the six trees in succession to finally stop him.
The loli beside me put on a sound isolation barrier abound us and spoke.
"Do you think he can win the fight?"
I shook my head. "Let's see how it goes."
She nodded and fixed her gaze in the direction Alex was smashed.
Alex stood up and moved slowly in the direction of James. His body was full of cuts and blood was leaking out of his wounds. He had somehow managed to temporarily stop the blood gushing out from his left shoulder.
Dark flames started enveloping his figure, it was an advanced level of fire magic, but James was not worried about it in the slightest.
He stared at the unwavering figure of Alex in front of him and sighed. [ what would I have done which costs so much to this boy, that he is like this now.]
"I don't know why you are fighting me, at least tell me the reason for your hatred...you know you can't defeat me." James spoke with an incomprehensible expression.
Alex continued walking. The fire of hatred kept rising with every step Alex took.
" You killed my... Mother." Alex eyes turned red. He screamed with a voice filled with immense hatred.
A large amount of dark magic gushed forth him completely enveloping his figure.
It's the aura of a Demigod.
... Did he just make a breakthrough?!
"He is the youngest demigod in the Empire!!".
"...A demon!?" James was surprised not because he breakthrough during the fight but because he was a Demon.. [ There were many demons I killed, but the female demons I killed were very few, I don't think I know someone who looked like him.]
Alex took the advantage of the opportunity and rushed straight towards James.
James was surprised by the sudden figure in front of him, he raised his sword to reduce the impact but was still late.He got thrown away and collided with the ground ten meters away.
Alex didn't spare any time going for the finishing stroke. He put out every ounce of mana he can gather in his right hand holding the dagger and attacked him.
Alex wanted to finish him off, one strike and everything will be finished, all the resentment he has gathered till now isn't it for this moment.
Everything will finish now....finally...
Unfortunately, just as Alex figure was still in the midair, James responded
"You are still weak."
His silhouette vanished from the ground and materialised above Alex. He kicked Alex in his shoulder, shooting him off.
*Crack*
The sound of shattering of bones was audible.
Alex's figure got smashed at the giant rock nearby obliterating it into pieces. He was breathing heavily gasping for air.
I shook my head wryly..... The youngest demigod, unfortunately, ... will die today.
... What a pity.
"He got knocked out, ... Both are demigods, but it's still impossible for him to be his match." Natsuki said.
I smiled bitterly. "Can't help it, power difference is too much."
James is near the peak of demigod while Alex was just a tenth level cultivator till a few seconds ago. James is in a completely different league having years of experience in the demigod tier.
"Speaking of which, aren't surprised by me?"
"Why would I be, ...Aren't you spying on us from earlier."
She stared at me in shock, then sighed. " ... So I got discovered."
I simply smiled.... Girl, I would have killed you already, if you tried to play even a small trick on me.
"He will not stop until the moment he perishes. Aren't you going to save him?"
"Why would I be?... Isn't what he chooses for himself." I stared at her with a weird expression.
We all make choices and we should be responsible for their consequences.
No matter the result, you can't blame it on someone else.
I gave him the choice to fulfil his desire. Now even If he dies, it's just the result of his own choice,
No one can blame me.
