Chapter 86. Third Stage (Part 7)
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Ilian 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

The battle continued for a few more minutes and many waves of mighty animals appearing uncontrollably. Master Leiva continued to amaze the public with his fast speed and the way he sent out the beast flying away from the platform and disappearing right before they could touch the crowd. Though, after so many times doing that, their fight transformed into a resistance contest. The winner will be the one whose magic was enough to resist the entire battle. Miss Mellie with her beast magic or Master Leiva with his speed."Who do you think will win?" Emma asked Liam, but he only smiled."Her…" That was his only word and Emma furrowed her brow. The cute little woman was a knight under the Duke army, but she didn't seem so powerful to win. She was sweating lots and her breathing looked painful and difficult. Even if her invocation magic looked extraordinary and difficult to counterattack, the way Master Leiva retaliated wasn't as if he was making much effort."W

The first combat fueled the crowd with the most burning shouts of the night. The two women were battling for the heart of a Duke. Though, it was obvious that the said Duke was married to another woman, a beautiful witch."The battle shall commence!"Madame Lu was also eager to see the said combat. She had seen Emma's fighting style was in no way near Gia's mighty power as a dragoness. The many years of training experience and the magic techniques Gia had accumulated surpassed in more than once the powers of Emma.However, there was something that Gia had yet to understand and manage, Madame Lu knew it and that was the best advantage in this combat with Emma. The raging fire brewing in her heart will make her emotions cloud her eyes if she doesn't manage to control it."Your Highness, it is an honor to fight with you!"Gia bowed and saluted as she was making everyone know who the woman on the platform was."Why is Miss Gia doing that?"

The battle started ruthlessly, the same as always, Gia fighting upfront with physical attacks. The sword moved masterly towards Emma, delivering rude hits to every side to push her back. Then she stopped for Emma to gain some breath. However, this time, the next attacks would be harder than the last time."This time we are not training, Your Highness," Gia teased and started another attack. "You should block better."Emma smiled while panting heavily, she felt her heart running widely. If the continuous waves didn't stop then she will lose painfully. However, as Gia said, they were not training this time. The many times she asked Gia to help her, well, she didn't use that much of her power. She wanted to train her close-range battle abilities. The same as Gia doing right now.However, didn't Gia kindly helped her earlier to make everyone know about her identity? Why should she still conceal her powers as a witch? Even more, why should the battle still be an exch

Now the battle had become a strange thing, the fire ring around the body of Gia grew up to cover the entire platform, and every time it touched one of the illusions, they disappeared without a trace.'Let's see where are you hiding,' Gia made the fire ring even more powerful and faster than before as she was already feeling desperate. She couldn't believe that woman had made her use so many of her powers. Even more, she fooled her entirely.The ring of fire was growing almost covering all the ground, but there was no notice of the woman, not even one bit.Gia's eyes become dangerous, she narrowed her sight, "Where are you?"She couldn't feel the woman's presence, it was difficult to focus when her heart was filled with so much hatred and ire. Even her own beats echoed loud enough to stop her from grasping the slight movement on the floor. She needed only the small wave on the air, a single touch from a shoe or a finger, and she would be able to find her.

The Duke was the first to react, he was the most resistant apart from Master Jin to the fragrance. He pushed the ones holding him and created a big barrier of barrier around his dear husband to let any dragon that was now aroused from the strong aroma approach her for even a slight of a second."Emma!" he jumped to the center of the platform and wrapped her in his robe. That way the aroma could be a little less, at least until the scale he had gifted her before started to take effect.Emma was scared, she couldn't deny it. The feeling of being easy prey in the middle of hundreds or even thousands of dragons was depressing. She was even shaking a little.Then… as the aroma was being suppressed, the barrier of fire came down."What happened?""Did you feel it?""I… I don't know… why am I feeling so heated?""What… how shameless!""You are the same, look at your face. You are blushing…"Th

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
