At the conclusion of the initial day of the subsequent preliminary round, their triumph in the second competition was effortlessly achieved. Wesley, exhibiting an unparalleled display of skill, single-handedly dominated the battlefield with his exceptional proficiency in manipulating wind-based magic. Thereby garnering recognition from Sin for his impeccable control over his powers, much akin to the proficiency displayed by Ira.
Despite their match, Sin and Eric are not seen in a positive manner by anyone. Sin believes that regardless of the world they are in, people will always be tending to focus on the negative aspects.
Sin reassured Eric that he need not succumb to the overwhelming pressure, as their animosity would not persist for an extended period of time.
Eric claimed that he had grown accustomed to encountering such intense animosity throughout his life. As a result, he has reached a point where he no longer experiences any emotional reaction towards such hostile behavior.
Upon hearing this, Sin was taken aback by the unexpected revelation. He couldn't help but wonder if the person he was conversing with was caught up in an unusual predicament. Despite his situation, Eric's demeanor and facial expressions had never given any indication of such a situation. Alternatively, Sin had never felt the need to delve into the person's personal history or background as it had never been necessary or relevant to their interactions.
Afterwards, Sin turned to Wesley and inquired if he would prefer to prolong his stay at their current location. Sin told him, both Eric and Gerald would be departing as well, as they had a team meeting to attend. Sin also mentioned that Niu had already departed earlier, as she had been assigned some tasks by the Head Maid.
Wesley expressed a complete lack of enthusiasm for witnessing any of the ongoing fights at that moment. In fact, he made it clear that he had no intention of staying any longer and promptly announced his departure to head back to his own residence. Without wasting any time, he promptly left the sites immediately after vocalizing his decision.
Sin gazed upon the departing figure of his unexpected companion, Wesley, in confused gaze. It was beyond his wildest imagination that Wesley would willingly align himself with their team without any strings attached. Based on the information Sin possessed, Wesley was known to possess an immense ego and a self-centered nature. It was widely believed that he would only engage in actions if they served his personal interests and provided him with some sort of advantage.
Sin shrugged and decided that he would save his inquiry for later, as he had a important matter at hand that required his attention.
Afterwards, Sin led Eric and Gerald to a specific location, where they were greeted by the presence of Rodriguez, Luke, and Indira eagerly waiting for them. The group found themselves comfortably seated beneath the shade of a magnificent tree, which provided a picturesque backdrop of a sprawling, expansive field.
As Rodriguez and his colleagues locked eyes with Sin and other, a surge of excitement coursed through their veins, compelling them to rise from their seats. Indira eagerly inquired about the outcome of their recent match, yearning to hear the news firsthand. However, it was Luke who responded, his voice filled with unwavering confidence as he proclaimed that the mere thought of their team experiencing defeat was inconceivable.
Both Eric and Gerald were in agreement with Luke's statement, acknowledging the fact that their team was incredibly dominant. Their team possessed such an immense amount of power and skill that they could have easily emerged victorious by relying on the abilities of a single individual.
Sin's facial muscles were twitching with anticipation as he observed the reactions of those around him. It was clear that they all felt cheated, as if they had somehow been swindled into victory. Despite his overwhelming desire to express his dissatisfaction, Sin wisely chose to remain silent and keep his thoughts to himself.
Sin expressed his delight in seeing that all the attendees had arrived beforehand, and he proceeded to assure them that the individual they were anticipating would join them in a short while.
The Groups also patiently awaited the revelation of the person Sin had organized to guide and educate them. While their hopes were not set exceedingly high, they were aware that Sin would not waste their time on someone insignificant or unworthy of mention.
The individual in question entered their line of sight, prompting those who were familiar with them to be overcome with fear and reverence, causing them to humbly kneel down on one knee and respectfully lower their heads in a deep bow towards the presence of that extraordinary individual.
Indira's emotions were overpowering, causing her to exclaim in a hushed tone, calling by the title of Lovely Gonjanlo upon the formidable deity known as the War Devil.
The individual in question was a woman who possessed strikingly tall physical attributes, standing equal in height to Sin. Her hair, tightly bound like a sturdy rope, had an uncanny resemblance to a deadly weapon capable of suffocating someone if employed as a means of choking. Although her face held undeniable beauty, it was overshadowed by the piercing intensity of her sharp eyes, which felt like it possessed an almost supernatural power to extinguish a person's life with a single menacing gaze.
Lovely Gonjalo, renowned as the Countess, held a multifaceted identity, but it was her role as one of the seven esteemed generals of her nation that truly defined her. Known by the fearsome title of War Devil Lovely, she commanded both respect and fear, earning a reputation as one of the most merciless and ruthless generals known to mankind.
Gonjalo, a person who possesses a captivating aura, can be quite formidable if you find yourself standing in opposition to her or her trusted confidant. It matters not if you happen to be her own flesh and blood, such as her parents, brother, or sister, or even someone who holds a cherished place in her heart as a friend or lover. In her unwavering determination, she possesses the power to dismantle and obliterate anyone who dares to cross her path, going to extreme lengths that may even involve resorting to the act of taking a life.
The presence of Lovely Gonjalo struck fear into the hearts of everyone here, as her reputation was widely acknowledged and deeply feared.
