"I can feel it. These guys are strong" Four spoke to Everest.
'First you have to register first'
Everest directs Four to where to register.
Several demons stared at Four, and grumbled. "Ha, why is there a brat in this place?"
Four doesn't respond and pays the entrance fee.
A demon suddenly lifts Four up.
"You want to enter the arena too? You're so confident" The demon looked at Four with disdain.
Four again did not respond. He waited his turn to compete.
This place is called underground. various kinds of illegal acts centered here. This place is also very wide to connect with various places in the bloodhand kingdom area.
Thousands of demons usually signed up to enter the arena. The arena in question is a place to fight each other. In each arena, 20 people will be placed to compete with each other.
Moments later Four gets a call to head to the arena.
Four walks guided by one of the demons who acts as the controller of the arena.
"Son, are you sure you want to enter the arena?" The demon asked Four.
"Yes, of course," replied Four.
"This arena has no rules, you are free to do anything to win even kill, nothing will stop it" The demon explains to Four.
Four nodded even though he already knew about it from Everest.
Until they arrived at the Arena which will be followed by Four.
Several demons were already above the arena and waiting for the participants who had not yet arrived.
Four goes up to the arena and the glares from the demons who will be his enemies make him uncomfortable.
"They look strong" Four spoke to Everest.
' Some of them are a little strong, but this is what makes this arena challenging'
'Almost all of the participants are tier two demons and some are only tier three'
"By the way, what exactly are the ranks of the demons?" Four asked a question.
' Huh, you don't know? basically demons are divided into Seven levels starting from level 4,3,2 and 1 and there are demons with lower, middle, and upper tier titles'
'But the difference between a titled demon and a not so great one'
' As far as I know humans also have a certain level, some of them are equivalent to the demons with the title '
Everest explains to Four.
a few moments later the participants had gathered on the arena and the arena was immediately closed using an iron cage.
the participants began to be alert and began to be wary of his opponent. Four also took out his sword. And when the signal began to be heard the participants immediately attacked each other.
Four who looked weak were attacked directly by two demons.
Four immediately performs his skill, which is to dodge attacks.
'Hey kid, why are you just dodging I'm sure you can fight back even when they both attack at the same time'
"I'll wait until there are only a few people left." Four continued to dodge nimbly.
'Try fighting them, you should get used to using your sword techniques on others'
"Does it have to be like that?"
'Of course, this is what we came here for if you just dodge how we know your abilities'
" Okay "
Four stopped dodging and counterattacked. He spun around and swung his sword at one of the demons and kicked the other.
One of the demons was actually cut and fell down and then Four stepped on the other demon and stabbed him with the sword.
The match was short, until the remaining four people including Four.
The remaining person seemed stronger than the one the previous Four faced.
The four of them really watched each other until one demon attacked the other.
And Four also has to face one of the demons.
"Her hand is burning!?" Four looked at the demonic hand he was facing.
' Yes it's his mana projection, you also have to start using your ice to be able to win over it' Everest informed.
Four focused his mana on the sword he was wielding and an icy aura appeared around him.
The demon starts attacking Four by shooting flames in his hands.
Four restrained him with the sword while advancing towards the demon.
"Damn, his body is too small and agile, it's very difficult to give him an attack"
Four's agility makes it difficult for the devil to attack, until Four manages to approach and swing his sword at the devil.
Four's sword strike was blocked by the demon's fist.
Even if Four is very agile to dodge attacks but the difference in strength from an eight year old child to an adult is still visible, Four's attacks can be blocked by the demon.
Realizing there was an opportunity, the demon rained fists on Four.
"Your small body may be superior in speed, but that also means you are weak in fighting strength." The demon smiled as he attacked Four blindly.
It was impossible for us to dodge all of the demons' consecutive attacks, so he chose to parry them with the sword.
Four was completely pushed back due to the difference in strength between them.
The meeting of the swords and fists of the two of them created smoke that was getting thicker and thicker.
They had trouble seeing in the smoke.
But the fire from the demon's hand against Four wasn't extinguished, so it could be seen clearly in the smoke.
Four took advantage of the situation and attacked the demon with an ice projectile shot from his left hand.
Even though the shot didn't cause any serious damage, Four continued to fire it.
" What? Where is the boy?" The demon was confused.
With Four's agility, he moves in a different direction and shoots ice projectiles continuously.
Everest even fell silent watching Four's initiation.
It is very rare for a child of the age of Four to be able to analyze and utilize his surroundings perfectly.
"Damn it!" The demon was getting irritated by the icy shots that came from all directions.
But suddenly a strong wind blew and dispelled the smoke.
One of the remaining demons was seen using his fan to get rid of the remnants of the smoke earlier.
Even his opponent was no longer standing. Now only Four and the two demons are left standing.
Seeing that the fire-wielding demon is having a hard time fighting Four, the fan-demon plans to get rid of Four first and suggests working with the fire-wielding demon.
' Haha this looks interesting, show them your skills brat' Everest laughed for a moment.
"Fighting just one is already difficult, and now being told to fight two at once!?" Four smiled bitterly.
The fan user immediately threw his fan at Four, but Four managed to dodge it.
Unbeknownst to Four, the fan he was dodging returned like a boomerang and hit Four's hood until it fell off.
His silver hair came back into view.
They both looked surprised to see Four.
"Where are your horns?" The fan user looked confused.
the same face was also seen from the audience outside the arena.
' Tch, this is the reason why you should hide your identity' Everest.
Demons get much more mana than humans because the horns they have can store most of their mana, otherwise if they don't have horns it means they don't have much mana.
"You're irregular!" The fist user smiled and then laughed.
Irregular here refers to the condition where the devil cannot use soul crystals to increase his soul. Usually Irregular is characterized by the color of one eye which is not gray, does not have horns as experienced by Four, and people who do not have mana.
They tend to be much weaker than normal demons.
But Four's situation is much more complicated.
