CH/ 15

It was the turn for the Rochus Siblings, Hildr came forth slowly, to hug her brother, she had only little idea about the event, she was only at the top for her Mana, she had a vast amount of mana but pure use of it.

On the other hand, the talented and intelligent brother Gerold had terror expression and anxiety feelings, when she hugged him and said, "Brother, I don't want to be leaned on the wall again, it was horrible".

Gerold took her in his arm and screamed, "Why... I refuse to kill my sister, you fxcking piece of shit, no you are the whole shit, leave us alone open these barriers and let us go".

The more he screamed, the more powerful he became, Hildr even gave him mana, the students understood, they were siblings, it is even more disgusting to watch, siblings killing each other, the melancholy expression was all over their faces.

Gerold broke the barrier and stopped screaming, the king gave the sign to not close the barrier.

Gerold told Hildr, "No one in this world, will stop me from protecting you my sister, we went through a lot together, protecting you all these times was a blessing for me, I am happy that we are together and can leave together let's leave".

Gerold took Hildr's hand and tried to go away, but Hildr noticed he had stopped and everything was silent, "What is happening?".

The king appeared behind her and talked, "Hildr Rochus, they told me you are sick, memory problem and many side effects with the brain, I will heal", the king put his hand on her head and she glowed like the Sun.

"Now that you are like in the past and completely healthy, let me show you the true face of your brother", Said the king.

Her eyes were slowly opening, the world changed and the King showed her, "Look at this, do you know this boy?", a boy standing on a bed, covered in blood and has a knife in hand, "Well, of course, he is my brother...".

"Do you know what is under the blanket, Hildr? Beneath it is the truth? Go ahead and see it for yourself", Hildr heard his command and opened the blanket, only to see, "Dad and Mom... no way... brother Gerold never did this, I remember that night he was with me, he helped me to sleep, I was scared", the king smacked his lips.

"No, no... don't let him trick like that, that memory is a fake one, he implanted into your head with magic, he made the excuse that the Rochus family killed them and used you as a witness to win the court...".

Hildr was pulling her hairs out and crying, "I know the truth is hard to accept but he used you and when he lost the court against the Rochus, he waited for the right moment and used your mana to kill them all", "Lies I refuse to accept, mana wasn't a thing in the past at all, my Brother never did this to parents and it...".

The king answered, "Don't lie to yourself, you know that you have memory loss problems and mana was a thing but you have just forgotten, if it wasn't a thing then how do you remember your parents talking about it...", Hildr remembered her parents saying, "You will become a strong kid my daughter, your brother is not as talented as you but please watch out for him".

The king said to her ears, "You are nothing but a wealth inheritance for him, you are a Puppet Hildr Rochus".

[TIME RESUMED]

"Let's go sister", Said Gerold, her hands departed from his and as Gerold turned around to ask, "What's wrong?".

Gerold saw the wand pointed at him and an explosion hit him, that split him into parts.

The king commented, "She went beyond my expectations, haha...".

"You killed parents and all the family members and used me to get you wealth, how could you do this brother, you are a Manipulator, you make me sick", Said Hildr as she cried on the ground.

The organs and the bones of Gerold that was on the ground, came together and formed, "I can't believe this, sister, you dare to attack me like this, after the hell I went through, you call me the Manipulator when I have hidden your truth since long ago", Said a voice.

As she raised her head to see, "Brother, why?", the wand was on her forehead but Gerold couldn't kill her, "I can't... who made you think I did all that, is there someone Manipulating you here? Tell me".

As she tried to speak out his name, she couldn't mention his name but looked him in the eyes, the eyes of the king.

Gerold turned around and shot a lightning strike at the king, "You axxhole", the lightning didn't reach him and vanished.

"Watch your tongue and attack, kid, entertain me...", putting his sister behind himself, "I refuse to entertain you, I will-".

A beam suddenly appeared from the sky and both Rochus Siblings ceased from existence.

"How annoying, their bonds were stronger than I thought, let the next fight begin and don't you dare make the same mistake again", Said the king.

Shaking the chairman announced, "Both Rochus Siblings were disqualified and thus meeting their end, the next round please, step up, Hjalmar Hammer Vs Holger Bisgard, let them be free".

Holger upon being released, "Finally, It hurt so much", Hjalmar on the other hand laughed and laughed, the crowd was thinking is he crazy?

Hjalmar looked at the king, "My King I am your loyal Knight, I wish to become your right-hand man and it's an honour to meet you", "I am pleased too, if you are my true loyal Knight, then kill this man before me, kill your friend".

A threatening expression was on Hjalmar's face as he looked at Holger, "Appear and transform, sword", his wand appeared and transformed into a sword.

Under a second, where no one could observe, Hjalmar had attacked Holger, by leaning back to the ground, did Holger dodge him, "Just as I expected, he is a hot-headed one, I must watch out, I must leave no room for him to attack or my head will be in my hand"?

Holger was a quick thinker, he caught Hjalmar's foot, he was on the mid-air, Holger had his wand in his left hand, "Enhancement", a boost of physical ability.

Holger slammed Hjalmar back and forth as if he was a doll, Hjalmar smiled and swung his sword, he only managed to leave a scar on his nose, "Damn".

"I must admit, during our training, you were never so fast, you were hiding all this time, so I went easy on you but it seems I do not need to hold back anymore", Said Hjalmar.

Holger then thought, "He was holding back, I must take him more serious too", touching his bloody nose, "You did quite the damage but you will pay back for it, don't you worry".

Holger sat down and put his wand on the ground, "Mana gather and spread out like fine wines, let me control you, dear magic zone", Holger's mana spread to the area but couldn't go past the barrier.

"Just as I thought, I can't affect the barrier nor the chains...", looking at the king, Holger continued thinking, "...how many more soldiers will you keep sacrificing for this tournament, king".

Hjalmar smiled, "You think a magical zone is enough to stop me, haha...", "Well I don't know, I am just here to try out, attack".

Suddenly 100s of big rocks, spawned and directly attacked Hjalmar, he screamed, "Enhancement", his physicality got boosted by a lot and then he cut each rock in half till they stopped coming.

When the rocks stopped, "Cheap tricks you were always like that, come face me one V one, face to face", a sword spawned in Holger's hand and responding to his request he attack, "What a magnificent speed".

Exchanging blows of Swords, "So is that how our friendship ends, I thought I was your only friend and you would be there for the times of needs", Said Holger.

Hjalmar smiling and pushing, swinging continuously, "Well that was the case before but now, the situation is different, my dreams are more important than you, I know you are a smart person, so I don't need to explain to you much and I know you have already planned against but whatever it may be, I am prepared".

"Really then get ready", Said Holger, he tried to swing from the top to bottom but Hjalmar's with his fast reaction, cut off his hand and threw his sword away, everyone was shocked in the crowd even the king.

Then Hjalmar continued cutting him, shoulder after shoulder, Holger was screaming in pain, blood was coming out like a waterfall.

"Oh scream more, I am enjoying it, more.... haha...", Hjalmar cut off his legs too, "walk you legless chicken", Said Hjalmar.

Hjalmar standing at his body, putting the sword on his chest, heart specifically, "I enjoyed my time with you my one and only friend, thanks for helping me through the tests", Hjalmar pierced through his chest and saw his lively eyes go lifeless.

The king commented, "There is more coming", with a big smile.

Behind Hjalmar, appeared Holger and said, "Don't worry, your thanks have reached me, I am sure your dead brain didn't know about my plan? Huh, friend".

Sword pierced through Hjalmar, he looked down and saw the fake body of Holger disappear, "You sneaky fox, I knew you planned ahead and so did I, I know you too well...".

The body of Hjalmar turned to darkness and fell on the ground surprising Holger and everyone else, from the darkness before Holger, he saw a sword piercing his heart and heard Hjalmar continuing his sentence, "...I am your best friend after all".

Next Hjalmar stood the real Holger and cut his head, his head flew mid-air and the eyes saw Holger say, "You were my truly my best friend, but I have never told you this, I always plan 1000 of possibilities and always choose the right one, rest in peace, Hjalmar Hammer".

The crowd had their mouth open, no one knew what was real anymore, "Did he win?", "Will he come back again?", then the king laughed and Yelled, "That was awesome".

The crowd started to applause for Holger, it was the first entertaining fight, suddenly blood was raining and Holger remembered, "The day I die, I want the blood to rain on my body", said Hjalmar,  "Isn't this kinda dark and impossible to happen", answered Holger, "Haha... it might be dark for you but normal for me... hahaha...", blank expression.

[PRESENT]

Holger picked up Hjalmar's head and said, "Sleep well my friend", then he was pulled by the wall and chained, his magic was directly cut off, without the support of mana, magically disappeared.

Holger helplessly saw Hjalmar's corpse being devoured by the earth.

Clearing his throat, "Ehm.. the winner of this round is Holger Bisgard", Said the chairman.
