Chapter 81. Third Stage (Part 2)
Last Updated:
2021-03-31 12:50:17A few hundred miles from Avalor, the knights led by Neo were in shock at the horrible sight in front of them.
They never thought that such malevolence could be possible, to kill mercilessly innocent and defenseless people was going too far. These people were under the care of the alliance, under the protection of the Duke's knights and the Kingdom. However, they were slaughtered in the worst possible way only for a few drops of blood.
"Your Highness, this…"
Neo didn't know what to say, he was speechless from the moment he found the corpses hanging, it was a sorrowful sight. The young dragons guarding the little town were found in a crazy state. Their minds had already left the real world, and they were just empty vessels. Only the power of an elder could guide them through the right path now, but that will take many years.
"Bury them with the highest honors, notify the alliance and start a search in secret, don't let anyone know who was the culprit

The first one to enter the platform was the Duke and General Jin. The two of them bowed as equals and stood their stances for a few seconds before the Duke made the first movement. Though it was not his style at all. He was always the one waiting for the other to start the combat but he knew that General Jin was not an ordinary contender.If he gave him a slight advantage, he will use it against him not minding that he was his superior in rank. When in combat any title didn't seem to matter.The Duke took out his sword, the black sword with a raging red dragon engraved in the handle and growing into the blade. It seemed fantastic and imposing. How many had lost to that sword?No one would dare to answer as it had passed from generations to the most powerful descendants of the Royal House. This time, no one would dare to claim that position but the Duke."Excellent, boy," the man smiled, though he wasn't that old, he should have been at least a couple of y

The battle with Regulus and Elton didn't last long. Elton was a very experienced man in magic and illusion and had tasted first-hand combat with the Duke. So it was only a matter of minutes to send Regulus outside the platform."You should be proud of your achievements, young man."Elton came down the platform and gave the brave man the hand to shake it with respect. "I would like to invite you to join my guard and army if you like, at least for a few years if you want."Regulus smiled and shook his hand, "I am sorry my lord, but I had accepted another request earlier. Though, I will be honored if you consider me part of your allies.""You are a very brazen man, may I ask who is the one that offered to join him?""His Highness, the Duke Kobach.""Dammit!"Elton turned to look at the man that was flirting with his wife. Not long after he finished his battle the shameless Duke made Emma sat on his lap again, not minding her embarrassed

The battle lasted for a few more minutes before Gia created a distraction and mercilessly pushed Devon outside the platform. It was a dirty trick, Devon was already sweating from the extreme abuse of countless fireballs she had to dodge and was about to give up but Gia kept taunting her until she was weak enough for Gia to punch her in the stomach with a quick move of her feet. Devon was sent flying outside the platform.Elton was already prepared to catch her not before sending a glare to Gia. They were friends from childhood, and so she knew his affections towards the beautiful fairy, but it seemed that she chose to discard any sense of friendship and rationality that day.Gia only glared back and smirked, but her smile was not on Elton but the woman behind. The one seated in the lap of the beautiful man she had been obsessed with long ago. Right now, she didn't care anymore to be seen as her true self. Right now, she wanted to show everyone what she is capable of, e

The battle between Allen and the beautiful fairy was impressive. She didn't contain any of her powers, no even when she knew that he was a superior."Vania, you have improved," Allen praised the young woman in a dark blue uniform and pointy ears. She had a delicate face and soft features, even her frame was not that of a warrior but as a fairy from castles and gardens."Thank you, Master Allen," she bowed a moment and her green eyes as emeralds showed respect and admiration to the man before her. She had gotten far into the last tournament, but it was because she was never confronted by a truly powerful fighter. Now she was contented even if it means that she would lose her position.They used direct confrontation, instead of magic as they were very well versed in those kinds of enchantments. Mostly Allen, so Vania had to move into a more close-ranged fight. She pulled out two daggers with red engraving in both of the handles and moved so fast that it was almost

Ilian was not someone to use dirty methods to win a fight, he will always be a straightforward warrior. That was the way his Master taught him even if all his life had been a constant battle of wits and schemes against him. He was an outright person.However, that didn't mean he was a fool and even if he was young, in fact, much younger than many of the dragons fighting in the tournament this year, he was a bit more experienced in fighting the ones hiding in the shadows. Secret attacks, assassination attacks, poison, concealed weapons, potions, and so on. Not only once he was attacked by those. He had been protecting his mother for so long too.So, when an idiot called Shane dared to use a secret weapon with poison just a second before being pushed outside the platform, he was supposed to see it coming, there was no doubt on that. No one would believe he was distracted. And he wasn't.He decided to use that single idiot moment of Shane to his advantage and take

The battle started after a few more seconds. It was usual to wait for a few seconds for a witch to plan carefully his movements. Then Master Viel sent a powerful attack, his specialty. An illusion attack.He disappeared slowly as if he were a mere ghost and not long after, the platform transformed into a creepy forest with remains of a small town in ruins. It gave a frightening feeling from a haunted place. Even the sky had changed into that of a cold night with several clouds trying to cover the light from the moon. The temperature and the smell had also changed. That was an impressive skill.Emma knew this kind of magic very well, it was used to confuse the enemy and to hide from physical attacks. If one was not enough careful then it would be difficult to get out of the labyrinth.Her eyes analyzed carefully the ruins, some dilapidated walls of houses were around her feet and a castle was seen far in the distance, then the tall trees on the sides were hiding

Master Viel was impressed, he had seen the little woman fight in the second stage, and he knew right away that she was a witch though she was trying to hide her identity. However, what impressed him was not her space magic like many others but her stubbornness to not show her true abilities and skills. Even if those could be stronger than those other powers.There is much more than meets the eye with the little duchess. Not once she had used her inborn magic as a witch to let out her identity, not even now when she can use it to her advantage."Impressive," Master Viel conceded, but he didn't lower the illusion, moreover, he made it more powerful, the mist became denser and the waves of weapons increased at random. "However, this will not be enough, little fairy, what can you do with that?"Emma didn't answer but sneered, she didn't hide those balls of fire just to play around, they were to be used for an emergency. However, this time they will be useful, later

Emma was overwhelmed with enthusiasm and happiness. It was the first time a battle felt so good. She knew that if it was not for her secret weapons, the fire from her dear husband, it would be more difficult to win. However, Master Veil praised her with sincerity, and so she understood that she had reached a place of respect among the top fighters, though, they were more to accomplish."Are you happy?" The Duke whispered in her ear when she finally returned to her place in his lap. She had done it unconsciously as he will drag her to him anyway. There was no need to pretend.Then she smiled brightly, "yes, I am very happy," her words were filled with joy and, at the same time, with joy.The Duke couldn't help but stare at her for a bit longer as she was deploying such a delightful smile. He wanted to see it more, much more. Though, he didn't want anyone to notice it."Hey!" she yelled when the brazen man pulled her to his chest to cover her face. "What ar

Night and thunder surrounded the castle; the tall towers of stone crumbled with the echoes of the wind hitting the walls and windows. Fear was easy to feel, anxiousness could invade the heart and soul of the weak, but the woman lying in the last room of the tower was still indifferent. The terror of residing on an earth that had been already taken over by murderous creatures didn’t make her succumb to shivers and sorrow.Even when strong golden chains gripped her fair porcelain legs, leaving painful red marks in the soft skin of her ankles, she didn’t care, nor did she make a whimper. The man who trapped her never unlocked them once from the first day he took her a year ago. He only watched as she sat on the floor with her back to the wall, occupying one corner of the room. Lonely and lost.His eyes were filled with more than desire, but a strong lo

"What is the meaning of this symbol?"The man looked confused. The sweet voice of Emma made him lose control of his words and actions. He didn't know why was that, he had never been subjected to hypnosis nor any kind of suggestive game. However, this time, it was as if some drug had entered his body and made him a week to listen to that woman's orders.Emma showed him the ring and waited for his response. The golden symbol engraved in the ring glowed with the two little red gems. It was a magnificent piece, almost as if a genius craft maker had taken inspiration from heaven. The way it was done was marvelous. A masterpiece. Victor's eyes stared at the ring for a few seconds and wondered where did she get that kind of gold. If she had sold it before, then her debt would have disappeared too. It was not as if she didn't try it, but the elders didn't let her do that. They knew it was the clue to find her real identity. However, Emma didn't hesitate to go to the ma

The man let her stay in his lap for the rest of the journey. As they were moving around the roads, she noticed that they were leaving the small town and entering what seemed a base surrounded by tall trees and a metal fence."We will stay here, for the time being, my love," the man whispered and kissed her long hair. Emma didn't care as she was tired. For now, she shall pretend to agree with the man and his needs.She closed her eyes and slept without care. When she felt that he carried her to a room and into a bed, she let him caress her face as she succumbed to her dreams. Again, the man with the red eyes showed up. This time, however, the symbol on her ring appeared in the chest of the man as he was more intense in making love to her. He pulled her to his body and it was as if he was really there sharing his warmth. Emma didn't fight it, she wanted to see him, to touch him and remember when she wakes up in the morning. "Who... who are you?"She whispered as s

Nothing.The eyes and the figure suddenly disappeared without a trace. There was no red glinting and calling her that night, but the feeling remained. She knew it was someone from her memories, that person was looking for her eagerly and she wanted to be found. She returned to the restaurant that night with many thoughts filling her mind. The man's figure, the red eyes, the longing in her heart. She even forgot about the testing of her powers, she had more important things to figure out that night. However, just as she was about to reach the entrance of the street, she heard screams. The voice was from her aunty and many other men. "Trash everything! Don't leave a single piece standing!""No, please," the voice of the old woman came with a painful cry. "Leave him alone, he is already badly injured." "Shut up!"Then more screams and shattering of windows and wood. There were at least a dozen tall and strong men with bats and metal long bars dest

The restaurant, which once was filled with chatters and laughter, was now echoing with silence. The few last days, the old elders kept it closed as it seemed that no one would enter the business for fear of the consequences, they will go to the neighbor town to sell some of their goods, though the journey there was a bit long."I will go out," Emma said after her training in her room. She had been having more progress in controlling her illusions, but it was not enough, she needed to test them. She came down the stairs and the two elders were already finishing preparing for the next day as they will go to a faraway market. "Is there something you need from the shop?""Darling, I thought you were already asleep," the old aunty came forward with a caring look, "you should go and sleep, you must be tired."Emma smiled, she knew that the old woman had seen her training, "I am fine, aunty, but I wish to take some fresh air now. There is something I want to test

I turned around. There was a young boy with a tired face, dark circles underneath his green eyes, disheveled black hair and wearing a long white hoodie with an image of a smiling face. He seemed to have just woken up from the look of the dried saliva in his mouth and cheek. I didn't need to guess who he was. "Jason""Yes, Mr. Hill asked me to fetch you, but...""You fell asleep," I smirked at the cynical face before me. He was not even feeling guilty. "It's okay I arrived fast and well," I said with a smile that was not reaching my eyes. Later I will have a little play with him."Mr. Hill will call you for your first task this evening, *yawn...*"Mr. Hill was one of the top assistants of that old man. I had never met him before, but I heard about him by listening my father's talk over the phone. His tone was always respectful even when he was the son and heir of Peter Lark and Mr. Hill was only a mere assistant. It was evident that Mr. Hill was not a

They lived without worries for that entire week, with no news about the mafia group nor their men. The old madame was still recovering in the hospital and afraid to return to her house though. Her younger daughter came to see her take her away from that town as quickly as she was informed. Her son, on the other hand, never showed up, no one knew where he went. However, it was almost like an illusion of safety. Quiet and calm in the streets, not many passersby, just dust and the clash on the windows. Everyone knew that the thugs will come, they had already waited a lot of time to unleash their attack. The residents and friends who had heard about the situation with the Larks were afraid to go to the restaurant; those days not many customers went to eat or even order some take-away. Only after the harsh efforts of Emma going around the neighborhood town to set a stand in the market, they were able to complete the rest of the money for that month. "Emma, my dear, you

The local police arrived at the small house with a small ambulance to take the old madame to the local clinic. They all knew her, and some of the neighbors had already reported the situation as they heard the scandal from afar, however, all of them were scared to get out of their houses. Even the policemen that arrived."Miss Emma, she will be fine, are you alright?" The old officer kept looking at the man on the ground who was still mumbling incoherent words. His team and he knew very well the identity of the man. In fact, Emma also knew it as there was only one mafia group that controlled the town, and those men were from that group. The same one that had lent money to almost all the little business in the town. However, their shady treats had made the little town fear the consequences of not paying their fees. "Miss Emma, this..." one of the police officers looked at Emma with a bit of worry in his eyes. "You should go to the old Larks, they are waiting for
