Chapter 29: The Dark Emperor's Challenge – A Battle Beyond Limits!
The Coliseum of Eldoria fell into a stunned silence.
A mysterious warrior had appeared, stopping the tournament.
His armor was jet black, covered in eerie red markings that glowed like burning embers. His cape fluttered in the wind, and his eyes—they were not human.
"I am the Dark Emperor," he declared. "And I am here to witness the strongest warrior."
The Guild Master trembled. "This… this is the strongest warrior from the Demon Continent!"
The crowd gasped in terror.
Lucia clenched her fists. "Why is a demon lord here?!"
Celestia's golden eyes narrowed. "He's strong… very strong."
Reo, however, grinned. "Finally, someone interesting."

The Dark Emperor's Challenge
The Dark Emperor raised a single hand. Dark energy swirled around him.
"This tournament is meaningless."
He gazed at Reo. "You. You are the only one worthy to fight me."
The Guild Master hesitated. "Reo, be careful! This man is stronger than an S-rank!"
Reo cracked his knuckles. "I don't care what rank he is. Let's go."
The crowd held their breath.
The referee swallowed hard and raised his hand. "U-uh… BEGIN!"
BOOOOOOM!
The Dark Emperor vanished.
In an instant, he appeared in front of Reo, his fist covered in dark flames—
WHAAAAM!
Reo barely dodged as the ground behind him shattered into a deep crater.
"Fast."
The Dark Emperor smirked. "You dodged. Impressive."
Reo jumped back and raised his hands.
"Time to fight back."
He summoned his mana—
A blue aura burst from his body!
"He's… activating his full power!" Lucia gasped.
Celestia whispered, "No… not full power. He's still holding back."

Clash of Titans
Reo launched forward at lightning speed!
He swung a powerful punch—but the Dark Emperor blocked it with one hand!
The force shook the entire arena!
The Dark Emperor smirked. "Not bad."
Then—he countered.
A massive black sword appeared in his hand—he swung!
SHWOOOSH!
Reo dodged by an inch! The blade sliced through the ground, creating a bottomless chasm!
The crowd screamed in fear.
Lucia gritted her teeth. "That was dangerous!"
Celestia whispered, "Reo… don't lose."

Reo's True Power Awakens!
Reo exhaled. "Alright. No more playing around."
He raised his hand—
A system notification appeared before him.
[ You have 300 unused stat points. Would you like to allocate them? ]
Reo grinned.
"Yes."
[ Strength +100 ]
[ Speed +100 ]
[ Magic +100 ]
BOOOOOOM!
A massive shockwave erupted from Reo's body! His aura turned golden, sparking with lightning.
The Dark Emperor's eyes widened. "What… is this power?"
Reo vanished.
BAM!
A fist smashed into the Dark Emperor's chest—sending him flying through the coliseum walls!
CRAAAAASH!
The entire stadium shook!
The crowd erupted into cheers!

Final Blow – The Spell Beyond S-Rank!
The Dark Emperor rose from the rubble, coughing. "You… are strong."
Reo raised his hand. "Time to finish this."
He was about to create a new spell—something above S-rank.
He focused his mana. A system notification appeared.
[ Name your new spell. ]
Reo smirked.
"Eternal Sleep."
His hand glowed with blinding light.
FWOOOOOM!
A golden energy sphere expanded—trapping the Dark Emperor inside!
The Dark Emperor froze. His movements slowed… then stopped.
He collapsed.
The referee stared in shock.
"T-The winner is… REO!"
The crowd exploded into cheers.
Lucia ran to Reo and hugged him. "You did it!"
Celestia smiled. "You've created a spell beyond S-rank. You're incredible."
Reo grinned. "That was fun."

After the Battle – A New Journey Begins
That night, in a luxurious hotel, Celestia sat beside Reo, running her fingers through his hair.
"You're amazing, my love."
Lucia, her face red, sat on his other side. "Hmph. You were reckless, though."
Reo chuckled. "Come on, let's celebrate."
Celestia leaned closer. "I have a better idea~"
Lucia's eyes widened. "W-Wait, what are you doing?!"
Celestia smirked. "We are his women. Let's show our love."
Lucia turned even redder. "M-Maybe just a little…"
The night became unforgettable.
