Tharn woke up Iris, and while she returned to her small form, he got dressed while looking at the fainted Cat-kind boy.
As soon as Tharn was seated on the edge of the table, Iris poured a bit of her Healing Magic over the knocked-out boy, and the moment he opened his eyes, Byia Calla grabbed his neck with one paw while the other was pointing a claw at his left eye.
He stopped struggling to get up, and looked at the bed when he heard Tharn ask, “Why did you invade my room? And who are you, anyway?”
Outside the City walls, there was a large space with benches leaning on the wall, facing the place where the Duels would happen.On those benches, there were Nobles, Clerics, and Merchants, all richly dressed, with their families next to them.A lot of people were gathered around the square where the National Tournament round would be held to see the Duels.From their clothes and how they were divided into groups, it was noticeable that there were people from other countries that travelled to get there to watch that round which would last for the entire day.A man dressed in dark green clothes and with a dark cape went to the middle of the empty space, and while taking off his large hat, he made a deep bow to the people on the benches.He put a metallic megaphone on his lips and shouted, “Welcome to Round One of the 634th National Tournament! This round today will be with teams of Adventurers from all parts of our beautiful country! Today also starts the round amongst the Schools of M
With another yawn, Archa walked back to Salama and gave her the spear while saying, “I won’t even need this. Only the shield will be enough.”While the Centaur girl was mocking Archa for returning to her place, Salama asked, “Are you sure? She could be better than she seems, you know?”“If she was, she didn’t need to make such a spectacle. No, she is too weak for me, and with the spear, this would end faster than your fight.”Archa returned to her side of the square, carrying only the shield, and the Centaur girl laughed, “Ahahah! So you came back! I thought you were going to quit!”Archa lifted her shield and peeked at her opponent from the top of it, and remained silent.The moment the announcer told them to start, the Centaur raised her arms and chanted while gathering her Magic, “Mighty sky, mighty soil! Grant me power over everything! Come forth, my champion! Summon Old Elemental!“A yellow horse appeared, with a long tail that was moving as if it was a whip. Archa casually walke
The announcer declared the continuation of the Tournament, and Osman came back from the betting booth with Muranu and Istar and gave Tharn a big smile. “You won’t ever guess what the new bet is about.”“Something weird, I suppose.”“It is about who will die, Salama or Archa! And the odds against them are huge! It seems every Mage still in the Tournament hates them, and there is a rumour going on that all the Mages want to kill them!”“
The young man struggled to get up, and he tackled the shield, only to feel his entire body vibrating, and he got dizzy.He did his best not to faint and said, as he tried to regain his focus, “A Mage can’t quit… I have to fight until I can’t anymore... Even if it kills me…”He tried to get up again, and Archa punched him straight in the face, knocking him out.She backed a
Mariam turned pale, as her friends did, and they all stared at Tharn, unable to believe the conclusion they had reached at almost the same time.He shrugged and said, “I had to kill a lot of Elementals, Familiars, Undeads, and a bunch of other creatures Necromancers created to reach this level. Mostly, creatures Necromancers created. We had a few encounters with some of those bastards, and we killed a bunch of creatures. It was why we got our medals at the Capital, by the way. And it was when we met the Head Cleric and many of his Ministers and advisors, together with a few Nobles and Clerics from other countries.”“ Synesia muffled her laughter and said, “Pfft!… I also wanted to summon a Dragon, but I settled for a Drake. But my Drake is even more powerful than most Dragons out there! Well, except Anubys and Herensuge, of course. I already tried to defeat them, and I got my ass whopped.”“No way! You can summon a Drake? How is that even possible?”“ The moment they were about to enter the Guild, the doors opened, and Sara Perry came out, pulling a knocked-out woman by her hair. She threw her to the porch on the right side of the main door and made a slight bow with her head to Tharn, who was wondering why she was taking out an Adventurer. Then, the other Sara Perry came, pulling a fainted man by his legs. She dropped him near the woman and waited foLord Tharn Zon Chapter 94.1 – Former enemies, new friends – Part 1.1

While Tharn and his group waited near the horses and ate the fruit and juice they brought with them, Mariam and her Party were in the swamps, hunting.From time to time, Tharn would hear a shout, and then a loud screech made by a Swamp Nightmare, probably one that was fleeing or was fighting for its life.It was already lunchtime when Mariam returned with Sophie, completely dirty with mud and blood, and Mariam said, after gulping water, “The others are cutting the three Swamp Nightmares into pieces so that we can take them with us. We may need to make a few voyages to take everything to the Cit
