Chapter 22 - Preliminary

The King smiled slightly then a loud slap was heard. The king's hand moved so fast it was as if it never left his side.

Ray was knocked to the ground from the force of the slap.

In the same instant Rowan took a step towards the King. However he was stopped by a dagger in front of his throat, a spear hovering right next to his side, a sword aimed at the center of his back, a scythe above his head, a bow drawn back and aimed at the back of his head, a gun aimed at his heart from the back, and a whip tied around his left leg.

All of the other heads moved to stop him. They all felt the blood-lust pouring out from him. Rowan was about to speak until he saw a stunning sight.

Ray had been knocked down his left knee was smashed into the ground and his right foot was still planted on the ground. He had a large black hand print on his right cheek and blood streaming down his forehead to his chin.

Ray was still looking up at the King his eyes were fierce and his gaze was unwavering without a shred of fear or pain. In his head Arthur was fuming with anger.

"He dares to hit my disciple! I'll kill him a hundred times over in the future!"

Ray quickly stood up and with a smile he said. "I can't believe a king would strike me in front of so many people and not finished me off."

"Absolutely outrageous." The king said calmly. Right after he sent a boot kick faster than the speed of light. As the king spoke without saying a word Arthur switched with Ray.

As the kick came Arthur moved to the side just barely avoiding it. The force of the kick pushed the carriage causing it to rock a bit.

This is when Emily stepped out. "My majesty please be lenient, he is only a child."

The King looked at Emily with anger growing on his face. He stepped forward and appeared in front of her, however he was shocked by what he saw.

Arthur was standing in between him and Emily, The look in his eye was cold and filled with hatred.

"I can tolerate you attacking me, But if you think that I will stand by and let you attack my mother then you better pray every god in known realms is on your side." Ray said with a dark and low voice. There was no hesitate or fear in his voice when he spoke only rage.

"You have lost knowledge of your place, BOY!" The king said has he raised his hand. Light condensed on it.

"No you don't know your place. I AM THE LUMINOUS SUN AND STAR GOD, ARTHUR SOLARIS. THE FOUNDER OF THIS FAMILY."

The king looked at him in shock. "Ho...w HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT NAME AND TITLE?"

"I just told you. Mother get back in the carriage, I will see you at the end of the tournament." Arthur said as he walked past the king. He walked over to Rowan who was still being held at weapon point. The heads looked at him with shock as he pushed away their weapons.

"Father, I am fine." Arthur said and patted his father on the shoulder then continued walking toward the arena. As he walked past the king's wife and children, his wife was looking at him in shock and the kids had rage in their eyes like no other.

They were like wolves glaring at prey.

before he entered the arena the king stopped him with a question.

"Do you think that humans can become gods?"

Arthur stopped and thought for a moment then spoke. "A person has to have the arrogance of a god willing to look above all and strength to match that arrogance."

During the confrontation hooded people walked through the crowd, watching the situation unfold.

One man touched his ear. "Did you hear what the kid said? Do you think it's true? Should we kill him?"

Another man answered. "We will wait and see what his strength is. Send in the replacement contestant."

After walking into the stadium, He could see just how large it was. A 5 kilometer diameter, surrounded 3 stone platforms each were 500ft in diameter with a clear barrier around each. The edge of the arena had rows and rows of bleachers.

One of the sides was sectioned off and that side looked more luxurious than the the other sides and a box was placed in the middle with windows all around and 2 thrones as well as 7 other seats below.

Ray got registered as a combatant and walked over to the combatant area.

He saw the three people his father talked about as well as many other powerful combatants. He looked in the direction of Belle who he had seen before as he walked past the main children of the 1st family.

She was glaring at him and as their eyes met, she began to walk toward him.

Once she reached him, she started yelling and everyone was staring at her.

"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, DOG!"

"I thought I already told you who I am?" Ray said sarcastically.

"ARGH, JUST YOU WAIT I TOLD MY UNCLE WHO IS THE REF TO MAKE SURE YOU AND ME ARE IN THE FIRST ROUND TOGETHER! AT FIRST I WAS GOING TO JUST KNOCK YOU OUT OF THE RING! NOW I'M GOING TO CRIPPLE YOU!!!"

"You can try. Now if you don't have anything else to say please go away, your voice is hurting my ears." Ray said with a shrug and pointed to the direction she came.

She became even more furious and frustrated. "JUST YOU WAIT!"

"I will but you should probably stop waiting. With an attitude like yours a dog wouldn't want to stay around you, let alone a husband." Ray said with the biggest smile he could muster.

Hearing this belle grew angrier than what was thought possible. She didn't say anything and walked away in a huff.

His sister walked towards him.

"Seems like you have a target on your back." Raven said jokingly.

"It's the consequence of being so amazing?" Ray retorted.

"Honestly, You deserve what's coming to you bro." She said and patted Ray on the back and left.

5 mins later

A loud alarm rang and everyone was teleported to their designated battle grounds. there was still some room to move around since the platform was so big.

Across the way Ray could see Belle staring daggers at him.

The ref stood in the air then shouted.

"It's time to commence the battle royal some of you will die but please try not to kill each other." then he looked at me with a cold smile.

Another alarm went off and the battle began.
