When the list came out, it only shows 5 names out of the ten of us and fortunately I got second place.

I pitied the one who get the first place, and it turns out to be a black feather winged young man.

I could tell that it was him because of his current expression that makes me want to punch him.

He have a smug face plastered on his face as he got the first place but for me, I only felt that it was a waste seeing how he sacrificed a C-rank weapon and an A-rank S-card just like that.

Well, an idiot will always be an idiot and this type of idiot is always the most easiest person to be friend with as he have a very simple mindset.

Just a little praise and he will put his guard down around you.

I hope he will reveal his location to me later so that I can take the special prize later before the other demon lords get it.

It is already a demon lord nature to be greedy after all.

"Now look at that, it seems someone has gone all out to get the special prize. Congratulation, Demon Lord Paiten. Now for the special reward, you got a growth type necklace. As for what kind of effect it will give, you need to check it out yourself. Once again, congratulation."(Pacifry)

I could say that any growth type items is very valuable as it could grow together with the wearer and it is also almost impossible to get it.

I tried to peek upwards and notices a lot of the older demon lords keeping an eye to the winged guy.

"Moving on to the second and third place, congratulation as well for both of you, Demon Lord Vestia and Demon Lord Sirius. Both of you each will get a D-rank Universal Summon Pool. Even though it's not as precious as the special prize, it still a very sought thing among the demon lords."(Pacifry)

I received the item and put it inside my inventory.

Demon lord Sirius was actually the snake head guy I took note before, and for the elf girl, it was demon lord Scarlet.

I could feel the gaze of jealousy from around me.

"Now that the rewarding time is done, first I will give a congratulation for Demon Lord Scarlet and Demon Lord Nuvo for placing the fourth and fifth place. Now let's move on to the main event of the banquet. As usual, the 5 lowest newborns rank at each batch of the year will be send to the Colosseum!"(Pacifry)

When the last 5 newborns heard this, they got shocked, flabbergasted, and got mad to the host.

One of the newborns, a young man with a red skin then shouted at Pacifry out of frustration.

"You didn't tell us about this before! This is not fair!"(???)

"Well, well, well... Looks like we have an idiot again this year. It is your own negligence to not realize this in the first place, if you used that little bird brain of yours a little, maybe you could realize this easily, but alas you were born with a shit brain so what should we expect, right gentleman?"(Pacifry)

Hearing Pacifry ridicule, the other demon lords can't help but laugh at the red skinned man.

Even some of the newborns also laugh at him for being to emotional.

Realizing how he just make a fool of himself, he decided to sit back and keep his silent.

Pacifry also did not make it to hard for the red skinned man and continued to do his job.

He then started to explain the rules of the colosseum.

After about 20 minutes of explaining, I already got the gist of it.

After he done with is explanation, he used some kind of power to make all of the newborns including me to float ad then the previous empty floor I was in before started to change and not long after that, it has become a huge colosseum.

The event called Colosseum is a game where the ten newborns will compete with each other in battles format.

Every year, the newborns will be given a mini game to decide their ranks into two, the winner team and loser team.

The battle format will imitate a real war where the winner team will take the offense role and the loser team will take the defense role.

Although we were divided to two teams, the battle will be a one Vs one format, not a team Vs team format.

Each member of the defense team will be given some pseudo DP for them to build their pseudo dungeon right there in the colosseum and they also can use it to buy some monsters using those point to defend their dungeon though the DP will only suffice to build only for 1 floor.

The defense team also can bring their own monsters from their dungeon to help but if they die here then they will lost those monsters forever.

As for the winner team, we weren't given anything to help us attack the loser team, but we can also summon our own monsters from our dungeon with the host help.

In a way it doesn't look fair for both sides but there's a catch here.

Even if the defensive member won, they won't get anything at all but if they somehow lose, they will become the winner vassal.

That's why even the winner team members have to use their own troops, they will do it seriously as this is the only chance for them to get a vassal easily.

Another thing here is that if a member of the winner team failed to destroy their opponent dungeon, then other members of the winner team that already defeated their opponent can take over the failed member spot to try conquering the dungeon and obtain another vassal for him/her.

There are ranks between demon lords and for a demon lord to increase their rank, one of the requirement was to have enough vassals under them.

Right now my rank still at the lowest which is rank 0 and for me to increase my rank, I need to have at least 3 vassals under me, and to have a power equal to an max-leveled S-rank monster.

The rank of a demon lord will determine our benefits as well.

After waiting for the loser team done building their dungeon in the huge Colosseum, Pacifry made us draw lots to pair us up.

The result was like this :

1. Demon Lord Paiten Vs Demon Lord Napol

2. Demon Lord Vestia Vs Demon Lord Goluf

3. Demon Lord Sirius Vs Demon Lord Hurk

4. Demon Lord Scarlet Vs Demon Lord Emerad

5. Demon Lord Nuvo Vs Demon Lord Darma

Demon Lord Goluf, he was the red skinned guy from before.

After I sacrificed some of my monsters, I only have 200 F-rank giant black rat, 50 D-rank arok, 10 D-rank giant blood bat, 22 C-rank storm wolf, 4 C-rank blood viscount, and 2 B-rank blood earls in my army.

I don't know about how many monsters the loser team have, but I know that the members from the winner team only have 1 summon pool and most of them would only have about 30 - 50 D-rank monsters to fight for them, excluding their own created monsters.

I was confident to win this battle, and even take over the other members battle if they failed.

I wasn't bragging but I doubt any of the newborns are stronger than me.

After all I have completed an inheritance and got many things from there, also a lot of summon pools for a newborn, and a lot of S-ranked and above monsters.

If with all of those I would still lose then I would be very ashamed of myself.

I decided to against being low key today and show how powerful I am instead, but of course with some limit.

I brought 200 F-rank giant black rat, 50 D-rank arok, 22 C-rank storm wolf, and three of my named A rank monsters that I got from the inheritance, Gote, Birot, and Boze.

I didn't dare to brought Aridnia, Fina, Restiya, or any of the blood monsters here as I'm afraid that their emergence will alert Guram, Zatril, and Zefina.

Aridnia and Kirin were their former comrades guardians and also an S-rank at that so they would remember them, and the blood monsters would immediately alert them.

As for Gote, Birot, and Boze, although they were also part of Garock guardians along with Fina and Aridnia, the appearance of a similar A-rank monsters wasn't that rare but rather, it was quite common so they won't bring any suspicious to those three at all.

Different with S-ranked monsters as each of them will have their own unique appearance.

For the last of my troops, I brought Lucia and Livia along as well, but I didn't bring Elisa along as she still low leveled.

After I'm done preparing my monsters, I heard a familiar sound inside my head again.

*Ding*

Seeing a new quest made me even more spirited to win this battle.

When the other newborns fro the winner team look at my troops, they were shocked because my troops numbers were several times of their total number and because of that, I became the spot light of the current newborns.

Even the older demon lords also take note at me but of course not because they want to attack me but to be wary at me as it will take some time before they could find me and if I already grown this much in a month, then they don't want to get on my bad side.

This only happen among the demon lords in the first and second floors, as for the one on the third floor and above, they didn't even thought of me as a threat or anything like that and only watch the game as an entertainment.

After all they already strong enough and they believe that a newbie like me is not worthy or their attention or time.

Even if they want to make me as their vassal, their pride won't allow them to attack someone far weaker than them.

Fortunately the demon lords from the loser team was busy creating their dungeon right now and they also can't get out from their dungeon so they don't know what kind of monsters we will use to attack them.

I also wore my dreadnought armor and strength gauntlet, but left the vampire king cloak inside my inventory.

"Now that both teams are ready, I declare that the colosseum now start! Good luck to all of you newborns."(Pacifry)

With that as my cue, I lead my monsters to attack the dungeon in front me.

When I entered the dungeon, I arrived in a room filled with volcanoes and magma.

The monsters that guarding the room was also a fire type monsters as well.

I counted the defending monsters and in total there are 30 of them in this room alone, but their rank was only at the E-rank.

The defending monsters was a type of low ranked minotaurs that could breath small fire ball from their mouth.

Since I want to finish this quickly, I told my three named A-rank monsters to attack them and not even a minute after that, all the defending monsters had already dead.

After that, I sent those three again to clear the second and third room while I followed them from behind together with my other monsters.

As for Lucia and Livia, they have been by my side from the start with Lucia wearing a plain cloak to hide her body and Livia in her beast form.

I don't want others to ogle on my woman after all.

Not even five minutes after the battle started, I already reached the last room of the dungeon.

Goluf was standing in front of the dungeon heart together with more than 50 monsters, and from his expression, I could tell that he was ready to fight me to his death.

I guess he hate the idea of being a vassal that much, well can't blame him for that as every demon lord has a very high pride as it is their nature, including me.
