Disposal

The boy with dark silver hair watched as the boy with silver armor crashed into the stadium wall and thought. "I heard from Father that he was the one I was supposed to look out for... But, did Father get the two of them mixed up...?" He looked over at the boy with no armor, who was covered with blood and laid motionless on the ground, as he thought. "Set kept calling him an Anomaly... and he killed that Western kid with a mere headbutt... So, was Father actually talking about him?"

The Devourer Queen screamed loudly. Her monstrous, inhuman scream resonated across the stadium.

The boy with dark silver hair turned his head and looked over at Aineas and The Devourer Queen.

Aineas squeezed his fingers around The Devourer Queen's head like he would if he was squishing a grape.

The Devourer Queen screamed louder. Her monstrous scream echoed everywhere within the stadium.

Aineas looked at The Devourer Queen and suddenly stopped squeezing her head. He instead moved forward with his right foot. He placed his right foot on the outside of the Devourer Queen's left foot. He then moved his left foot behind The Devourer Queen's left leg and placed his left foot in between both The Devourer's Queen right foot and left foot which caused The Devourer Queen to become off balanced.

The boy with dark silver hair thought with excitement. "I remember that technique! I learned that from Mother's First Guardian." He had a confused expression on his face as he thought. "Wait, but why is he using such a basic-?"

The Devourer Queen had a frightened expression on her face as she said with her monstrous voice. "My hunters-"

Aineas interrupted both the dark silver haired boy's thoughts and The Devourer Queen's plea as he said coldly. "Shut up and die." He used his left hand and brought The Devourer Queen full force toward the ground.

Right before The Devourer Queen slammed into the ground both Aineas and The Devourer Queen suddenly disappeared from where they were located.

The boy with dark silver hair thought with a surprised expression on his face. "Where did they go?" He looked around the sand pit and in the upper parts of the stadium and thought. "Did they teleport out-?"

Two loud monstrous roars echoed across the stadium.

The boy with dark silver hair looked over at the source of the sound.

The girl with the club was on all fours as she looked aggressively at the boy with dark silver hair and the boy with the spear. Half of her body was different from the other half. The entire right half of body was dark black, which included her face, it was no longer covered with armor. The entire left half of her body however was still normal. It was still covered with silver armor that had a gold trim around the edge. She had an extremely short tail, a broken horn sticking out of the right side of her head, a wing jutting out of the right side of her back, and her right eye had changed from light blue to blue while her left eye remained light blue. The most interesting feature however was her limbs. Her right arm and leg were significantly longer than her left arm and leg.

The boy with dark silver hair stared at the girl with the club and thought with intrigue. "Did her transformation stop halfway?! Why? Is it because the Queen is gone? Or is it… because of something else?"

The girl with the club roared loudly as she stared aggressively at the boy with dark silver hair and the boy with the spear. She dashed toward both of them on all fours. As she dashed toward them she picked up her club from off of the ground with her left hand and then continued to dash toward them.

The boy with dark silver hair became immediately alerted to the girl with the club dashing toward him and looked over at the boy with the spear.

The boy with the spear had a look of fear in his eyes as he stared at the girl with the club dashing toward him.

The boy with dark silver hair said to the boy with the spear. "Your spear! Pass me your spear!"

The boy with the spear looked at the spear in his hands and then looked at the boy with dark silver hair as he said. "But this is mine…"

The boy with dark silver hair pointed to the girl with the club as he asked the boy with the spear. "Then would you rather fight her?"

The boy with the spear looked at the girl with the club and had a fearful look on his face. He shook his head and tossed his spear to the boy with dark silver hair.

The boy with dark silver hair caught the spear with both of his hands. He said to the blue haired boy. "Go protect the other Participants. Make sure to bring them as close to the Southern side of the stadium as possible."

The boy with blue hair nodded. He turned and ran behind the boy with dark silver hair then toward the boy with dirty blonde hair, the girl with blonde hair, and the two girls with light silver hair.

The boy with dark silver hair looked over at the Southern end of the stadium. There were two women located in the Southern end of the stadium. The first woman the boy looked at was the one in the center of the Southern end of the stadium.

The woman in the center of the Southern end of the stadium wore dark black armor with a silver trim around the edge. She had black hair that was tied up in a ponytail and she had dark silver eyes with a greatsword strapped to her back that leaned to her right. She had an excited expression on her face. On her left arm were four crossed blades which were engraved into her armor. Two were diagonal, one was vertical, and one was horizontal. On the left side of the four crossed blades was a mask. By the bottom left of the mask was one vertical blade. She stood by the left side of a seat in the center of the southern end of the stadium.

The woman in the Eastern part of the Southern end of the stadium wore black armor with a silver trim around the edge. She had blonde hair and dark red eyes with a greatsword strapped to her back that leaned to her left. She had a cheerful expression on her face. On her left arm were five crossed blades which had been engraved into her armor. Two were diagonal, one was vertical, and the last two were horizontal. On the left side of the five crossed blades was a cracked mask. By the bottom left of the cracked mask were four crossed blades. Two were diagonal, one was vertical, and one was horizontal. She stood by the left side of a seat close to the eastern side of the stadium.

The boy with dark silver hair looked at both woman in the Southern end of the stadium and thought to himself. "I would have told him to go to the Western side of the stadium since the Southern side has two women and either one of them could be a Devourer. However, if they were going to transform they would have done it already."

The girl with the club jumped toward the boy with dark silver hair.

The boy with dark silver hair readied the spear in his hands as he looked at the girl with the club with a serious expression.

The girl with the club had a look of desperation on her face. She said with her regular voice as she jumped toward the boy with dark silver hair. "Please… help me…"

The boy with dark silver hair had a shocked and surprised expression on his face as he thought. "Did she just-?!"

The girl with the club swung her left claw toward the dark silver haired boy's face as he looked at her with shock.

Right before the claw could hit the dark silver haired boy's face he thought. "Stop."

The claw suddenly stopped moving. The girl with the club was suspended in air as her body did not move. It was like time itself had stopped.

The dark silver haired boy walked through the claw and then walked through the rest of the girl's body as he thought. "She almost got me. I wasn't expecting her to be able to speak like an ordinary person in that form." He stepped onto the sand behind the girl with the club and stopped walking. He turned and faced the girl with the club as he thought. "Resume."
