Cielo wouldn’t kill anyone. When his opponent was about to suffocate, he retracted the silver wire. In the dark, no one could see what he was doing but it did not mean the audience could not. On the other side, the warriors of the Group A only heard the young man let out a deep mumble from his throat. He seemed to be in excruciating pain, so painful that he fainted.The remaining warriors of the Group A thought the young man died.There was one less stone in Cielo’s hand. Cielo stood at the original position where Toshii Wanran and the other warriors were before they moved back.He started to smile. It was a cold smile. His light voice was filled with killing intent. “Why? We haven’t even started but you already want to run away in fright? Are you sure that you came here to fight?”“Toshii Wanran, I don’t know what to say about you. You’re a coward but unexpectedly, the people you brought are cowards too. I really look down on you. How about this? I won’t make things difficult for you
“Young Master Regalia, please spare me. Please spare me. Please be kind and let me go this time. Young Master, please spare me, please spare me.”It was at this moment that the light in the arena for Group A lit up.The light was too bright so Toshii Wanran and the other warriors had to squint their eyes. The light lit up the young men that had fallen to the ground before this.Their arms were all in a weird position. All of them lay on the ground with painful expressions on their faces. They weren’t able to lift their hands to take off their clothes that were stuffed in their mouths. They could only move their bodies and legs against the ground while making sounds from their throats. It was fairly easy for Toshii Wanran and the other people to think that they were human-eating monsters crawling around them.No one cared about them. Toshii Wanran was so frightened that he kneeled to beg for mercy. Why would he have the time to bother about these people?Cielo stepped in front of the s
As soon as they came back from the arena battleground, Cielo Regalia met Velicia Aberon halfway. The Group C and the Group D immediately came up after the staff cleaned the place.“I heard from the Matriarch that there will be a danger, extreme danger, for the Semifinals Round. I do not know if it is about the rules or the setting of the next round.”Cielo did not answer. Until he returned to his courtyard, he remained impassive.A pair of bright blue eyes belonging to the kid stared at him as soon as Cielo Regalia entered his private gym. “You’re back finally. One more hour and I will flip from your younger sister’s atrociousness.”Rito, who was in his human form which was a child, came out from the darkest corners of Cielo’s gym.“You have my thanks for guarding my mother and sister while I am away. I cannot leave them alone while the Regalia Clan is being divided by my faction and father’s.” Cielo immediately changed into his gym outfit before wrapping his knuckles for a sparring s
There were four people who successfully entered the Semifinals Round of the Trials of Eights. Two warriors came from the hidden clans, one warrior from the free city, and another warrior from a major tribe.The stadium was packed with people from all walks of life. Some were locals while the others were from the free cities and major tribes; they were there to cheer for their people. After all, it was a great honor already to survive this far.Flagships from the remaining warriors littered the bleachers. And some even painted their faces with the colors of the emblems represented by the respective families of the warriors.Blue for the Regalia Clan. Red for the Aberon Clan. Green for the Logunes Free City. And black for the Hiperia Tribe.Above the arena were five screens. The center among the five was the biggest one. This will show the close-up fight for the audience’s convenience. Two screens which were slightly smaller than the center were situated on the east side while there wer
Run?How could a human’s running speed be faster than the speed of sight?Soon, all lingering remnants of souls in the area were all killed by Aria’s destructive power.Siogbhan Logunes saw from afar that the man called Cielo Regalia was still standing on the spot foolishly. Not only did he not escape, but he actually went against Aria directly.Siobhan Logunes shouted anxiously. Though they were competitors, he was not like Toshii Wanran. He wanted a fair fight without anyone dying. “Mister Cielo Regalia, run!”Cielo heard Siobhan Logunes’ shout, but he did not react.Siobhan Logunes closed his eyes when he saw that Aria’s gaze was about to land on Cielo. He could not bear to see Cielo die even when they were supposed to be his enemy and his greatest threat to advance to the Finals Round!At that moment, a majestic beastly roar resounded in the entire Avici Hell!Roar!Upon hearing this powerful roar, Siobhan Logunes’ stopped in shock. Xerxex Hiperia, who was a few kilometers from th
On the other side of the Avici Hell…The Wisp Queen could not kill Velicia even if she wanted to. When Velicia revived for the 118th time, all thanks to her contracted beast, both she and the Wisp Queen lost all their patience.Velicia’s unique skill was the Eternal Revival. No matter how many times she died, she would revive immediately. Of course, this was not an omnipotent skill. Like Cielo Regalia’s God’s Eyes, her Eternal Revival would cause her a backlash.The more she would use the Eternal Revival, the more she would feel a pain as if she was being eaten by millions of ants inside her bones. This was also one of the major reasons why she would use the wheelchair. It was because of the pains from her toes up to her kneecaps. Day in and day out, the suffering was forever.Eternal Revival… eternal pain.Should she keep on using the Eternal Revival, the pain would spread more in her body.The first time she used it, it was when she was young. The first time she revived, she regaine
Calling it by its name, she was answered by a deafening roar of her beast. Suddenly, a gigantic shadow loomed over her. Velicia’s line of vision was covered by a humungous body made of shining red scales.The second strongest guardian beast in the hidden clans – the fiery red dragon, Ling Long!“Swallow it.” Nudging her chin to the direction where the remains of the Wisp Queen lingered, Velicia commanded.Roar!As an answer to her command, Ling Long flapped his gigantic pair of red wings. Diving into the carcass, the area was soon filled with crunching and roaring sounds as Ling Long devoured the Wisp Queen’s body and energy core.Velicia cast a new domain around, this time it was much smaller than the previous one. She sat down, closed her eyes, and absorbed the energy – converting it to hers in the process, refilling her almost empty energy core rapidly.She could feel the warm surge of energy running down past her navel and it stayed right above her pelvic area where her energy cor
It was Rito!It was common knowledge that Cielo, the top genius of the Regalia Clan of the Hidden Families, had awakened and contracted the clan’s guardian beast during the Claiming that was not meant for him – he practically gate-crashed and still got away with it. His contracted beast was a powerful black serpent that even her Ling Long was wary of for some reason ever since the two beasts met countless years ago!After realizing that the injured person in the broken pagoda might be Cielo, Velicia, who wanted him to fight his own battles, changed her mind.Velicia would not allow any room for regrets. Never.He was clearly the crème de la crème of the Hidden Families that could ward off the ambitious Free Cities and Major Tribes, but he didn’t have the arrogance that the supposed peerless geniuses should have.Despite not knowing who she was, Cielo Regalia showed benevolence to her. Though he did it as a friend, the complete opposite of what she felt for him, Velicia still appreciat
