*BOOM*
Multiple magical shots came out from the onlookers and pierced through the black whips, as they headed for Beatriz.
"That's useless" Beatriz.
*Valkyrie Guard*
A halo formed on Beatriz back, it had different patterns and runes written on it, but in the center of it there were 7 points like stars interconnected as if they formed a constellation, of these 7 points there was only one illuminated.
*Primal Barrier*
"You don't need to expose more than you should" Chris.
As she was about to finish activating her ability, a blood-colored aura barrier surrounded Beatrice and she repelled all magical attacks that came her way.
A man and a woman wearing the same black combat outfit as Beatriz appeared in the arena, since the hood hid their faces, no one recognized them.
"How long ago did they arrive" Beatriz.
"A few moments ago," Kaguya.
"It's hard to ignore this when the aura of a Valkyrie can be felt throughout the camp" Chris.
Beatriz couldn't sense the arrival of Chris and Kaguya, even though she kept her senses in the crowd as she felt that they would probably ambush her.
"Tell me how you ended up accepting this fight, I don't feel like there's anything to be gained" Chris.
"It's a thing of the past, almost ten years ago when I participated in the competition held by the alliance, I finished in tenth place, despite only being in the first mystic rank, it seems the person I defeated in that time still gave me he has a grudge for not entering the top 10 because of me" Beatriz.
After Beatriz's explanation they were able to understand why things ended up like this.
In the upper worlds, as well as in the realm of God, this kind of thing was done and the top 10 places always had the best rewards, losing them is something that anyone would not let go of, but still resentful after almost 10 years is a pain. bit excessive.
"I see that you have become stronger Beatriz, but that will not be enough"
A brown-haired, black-eyed man appeared in the crowd and took the stage, it was apparent that he was a handsome man who could easily attract women with his refined appearance and the physique of an Olympian.
"Don't you think it's pathetic to show up after your subordinates have lost miserably" Beatriz sneered upon seeing the man.
"I can accept that they are my men, but I am sorry to tell you that this was not planned by me and they acted on their own decision, but since they are my men, I must take responsibility and show my face" he said to the man as if he were an elegant gentleman.
"Who are you kidding... What's happening because you stop me?" Beatriz was going to continue mocking when Chris stopped her.
Chris oracle powers had been activated.
The source of power of an oracle is its connection with the power of destiny that governed karma, so in addition to coming into contact with beings like the ego of the universe, they could in a certain aspect see the destiny of people and know their destiny. future, the more powerful the person, the more difficult it would be to see their destiny.
In the case of Chris's oracle powers due to his mutation, in addition to being able to see the near future of some people who have strong destinies, he can also know if people are lying or will be able to know the places where he will find a great chance encounter or calamity.
Chris realized that the man was telling the truth, but he didn't say everything as if he wanted to warn them that his subordinates were instructed by someone else, outside of his knowledge.
"This is an unnecessary conflict, so let's just leave it at that" Chris.
Responding on behalf of Beatriz, Chris turned around and with his eyes told Beatriz, Kaguya and Sonia that their time should not be wasted here anymore and they left.
"Hahaha, that's right, run away cowards..." said a man in the crowd.
*BOOM*
When a murderous aura as cold as thousand-year ice and as sharp as a blade passed through the entire crowd, this aura that only lasted for a second caused the entire crowd that was going to start a riot to fall silent, as if the god of death had his scythe on their necks.
Only after Chris and his group left did the crowd return to normal.
"Now tell me why did you do this?"
After Chris and his group left the arena, the man turned and asked his subordinates the reason for his actions.
"Young teacher Rafael, this was not our intention, it was an order given by his father"
"Because my father would order an attack on Beatriz, what happened in the competition so long ago is in the past, why bring up that matter now" Rafael.
"Young master, her father's order was not only to examine Beatriz's strength, but to pay attention to the people who were in the same group as her."
"I still don't understand why my father would do such a thing, perhaps it has to do with that murderous aura from a moment ago, there is someone important in the group on earth" Rafael.
"I don't know, Young Master, it's best if you ask his father directly."
With nothing else to do Rafael and the group of men in gray combat suits withdrew from the arena.

"There are many more people than expected" Morgan.
After the conflict in the arena, Chris returned to the girls and called the others to talk about his current situation.
In addition to the 10 thousand people between the 1st and 7th rank of the mystic realm, Chris noticed 100 people in the 8th rank.
This was not a problem; the bad thing is that Chris found a total of 4 people in the ancient kingdom in the camp.
According to the information available, there should only be a total of 3 people in the ancient kingdom in the current alliance, but suddenly a fourth person appeared.
Among the three that were known, the first one was the leader of the alliance, someone who came from a planet heavily affected by the crisis of two thousand years ago and created the alliance to solve these problems.
The other two one came from a world ruled by a force called Starlight, and the other a power called Burning Will.
These three people had already been detected by Chris, but the fourth was someone he was unaware of.
And his energy was still unstable, showing that he ascended recently and had barely stabilized.
Another ancient kingdom affects the plans as it would become a problem if not dealt with correctly, as it is an additional problem if they end up fighting each other.
*** ***
On the other side of the residence area, it could be seen that there were more luxurious and larger buildings compared to where the ground group was staying.
Inside the center building, in a waiting room large enough to hold more than 20 people, there were two middle-aged men sitting opposite each other.
If one looked at these two closely, he would notice that they are similar, mistaking them for a pair of brothers, not realizing that they were actually father and son.
"Father, why did you order me to do this, I don't see a purpose in it and it would only make people see us in a bad light, as if we were petty"
"Calm down, everything has its reason, just wait for Rafael to arrive and I'll explain everything to you"
*Boom*
As if in sync with the man's words, the door opened and Rafael, who had returned from the residence, entered.
He wanted to ask his father for an explanation of why he did that, but when he realized that it was actually something done by his grandfather, he understood that things were not that simple.
"Now grandfather, could you give us an explanation?" Rafael, who was quite upset, showed no courtesy and asked for an explanation, hearing the conversation upon entering.
"Well, to be exact, the person who sent me to investigate the people of the earth was your teacher and Nanci" said Rafael's grandfather who also felt somewhat ashamed for giving such a mean order.
"The teacher, but why" Rafael.
Rafael could not believe the words of his grandfather; they could not understand why the teacher wanted something from the land.
In the same way, Rafael's father, they couldn't believe it either.
Rafael and Nanci teacher, she was a very powerful person from the upper worlds.
That she could have the land that interested her.
"I couldn't believe it either until I heard the recent news," Grandpa explained.
"What exactly happened dad" asked Rafael's father, who still didn't know the news.
"A few months ago, many upper worlds went to earth in search of a person, this person seems to be an extremely powerful Overlord in the upper worlds, plus he comes from an equally strong family"
Since the upper worlds were very cautious when they went to earth this information, it was taken as a rumor in the lower worlds.
Therefore, Rafael and his father were somewhat incredulous, but since the grandfather would never lie in such matters, they understood that it was true.
"Father, it could be that this venerable person has some kind of connection to the land."
"I don't know exactly what kind of relationship they have, but we do know that this person is connected to that young general from the land Beatriz"
"Grandpa could be that the relationship of that person and Beatriz, is the same as the same relationship that I have with the teacher" Rafael.
The powers of the upper worlds very rarely come down to the lower worlds, Raphael's teacher being one of these few exemptions.
Usually, they do not take long and return to the upper worlds, but in some cases, in the lower worlds they find rare talents, so they are taken as disciples.
In Rafael's case, he had a very high compatibility with his master's techniques and his sister was born with a saintly physique that could become a divine physique, so they were accepted as his master's disciple.
When the earth festival scandal happened, everyone realized that Chris created that huge space to save Beatriz from Cesar, in addition to when they met her in person, they noticed that on the woman's body she had an energy seal with the crest of the Caelesti showing that she was under the protection of the family.
Thus, the rumors that Chris had accepted a disciple spread in the upper worlds.
If it was known that their relationship was that of a couple, the scandal would be even greater.
