Chapter 187: A Familiar Phrase (4)

Morris POV

What the hell is going on with that stupid holy knight?! The third strongest holy knight and my personal guard, and he's being bested by that vile monkey-blooded boy.

He'll sully the name of our god and mine, I will not go down like this.

Ruka POV

Morris Joseph currently looks pissed, I can see his veins popping and straining hard from where I'm sitting, currently, I'm in charge to watch the facial expression of a certain number of people along with the chief, just to see their reactions and see if their family is being watched.

Sure enough, they were, the first person from their village to compete in a while, so that made Perseus get a lot of attention, and Sheila also made an appearance which the chief said could possibly one of the culprits since her husband in particular is a very powerful figure even if he's considered a failure as a royal family member.

People indulge in friendships from different backgrounds, sometimes it helps them learn more about the world and sometimes they don't, and her husband joined the wrong group and his family did their best to hide it. The northern continent, we barely explored there, heck, we didn't at all since we just went straight to search for Leilah, their royal family is something special, especially for their authoritarian ruling.

The only continent with people with more than 40% hating the royal family despite the statistics saying otherwise thanks to their manipulation.

Back to Morris though, to me, it's obvious that it's him, the chief did find out that the cardinal does have a connection with a lot of the executives who organize this whole thing, and all of which belongs to the human race, none of them are mixed or demons.

He's taken advantage of the barely stable nation as their council is currently divided, Perseus respect it in a way cuz he would do the very same thing, hypocrite, and he knows it too.

Morris is definitely humiliated right now because his personal bodyguard is losing terribly, Perseus is fast enough to not give him time to think and the poor guy probably suffers some mental damage after Perseus does whatever he usually does.

Never in my life would I think my life would revolve around that guy, a reincarnated soul to add on it. Leilah and I never really had a close relationship until our lives were sort of forced to be with each other at all times.

We rose guardians were siblings for just the sake of being siblings, it's hard to call us a true family as the only ones who we were truly close to were our parents, and Perseus at least helped me regain a better connection with them despite he's pursuing the others mostly for is own personal romantic interest.

Well he better win now, cuz he's going to make me look bad at this point, I was forced to make him my champion due to my own stupidity and now I have to follow him in his plan to return to his old world, and currently, he requires a relic made by my own father that is given out in this tournament.

Perseus POV

The guy used healing magic to heal himself continuously as he threw himself at me swing his blade randomly in every damn direction, I can't really predict what he's going to do next, but he was way too open and I took advantage of it, my blade started to penetrate his armor and I started to slowly bleed him out.

He is no longer using long range spells and forcing all his mana to just heal himself over and over, he left his legs especially open, I ducked under his swinging blade and delivered a low swinging kick to the right side of his knee and I heard a crack, he bend over and I delivered an uppercut to the jaw and he staggered backwards.

I then surround my body with the strong storm of blue rose petals and I just start hammering his body and start to slowly destroy him little by little, I'm fighting my way to break his armor and take a slow approach.

I can just deliver the winning blow, but I want to humiliate the person who arranged him to fight me first, they did all that only for their guy to lose instead of me, they worked so hard just to eliminate me and...it's fun when they get their hopes up and you take it all away in one moment, it will make them feel as if their world came crashing down on em.

The crowd was entertained nonetheless but some weren't really happy as they bet a lot of money on the guy in front of me while I beat him senseless, any time he seems to recover, I used my powers to make him go into a dazed state and just go ham.

"I will not be humiliated like this." he said before screaming at the top of his lungs and cast the strongest wind spell in the area to separate us "I worked up my way from being a lowly disregarded noble child up to a position where no one can reach, I will prove the people who chose me right, I will win and prove to the world that all of my hard word did not fail the expec-"

I just shadow-traveled right behind him and deliver a strong jump spinning back heel kick to his head and he landed face forward on the ground.

"You talk too much." I then started to stomp on his helmet repetitively until it breaks and the referee finally came in to separate us and give me the win

Talk no jutsu doesn't work in the real world unfortunately, man that win spell was strong, he still got almost a third of his mana left despite giving out all of that strong spells and continuously draining his mana while healing himself over and over.

The guy is out cold and will need a lot of sleep because I just gave him the worst mindbreak of his life...ok, that sounds mad, readers, don't take that out of context and make it sus.

Please, I'm not into men...unless you're Keanu Reeves, Ryan Reynolds...I'll stop now.
