Of course, no one dared say they would quit after hearing what Sir Gilbert had to say. Instead, everyone focused heavily on training for the tournament. The full details of the event were not finalized yet, but the basics were told to them. Essentially, they would be competing with each other to see who could kill the most demons in the fastest time. Friendly fighting between heroes was allowed, but if someone allowed themselves to be caught up in the moment, they would be disqualified.
While the purpose of this was to see who was the strongest, that didn't mean the natives wanted the heroes to kill each other for the title, even by accident. They would have judges watching. Also, since the tournament was actually considered a quest by the system, it would be able to monitor their actions to prevent this from going too far. Obviously, it wasn't one hundred percent foolproof, but it was enough to comfort people.
The format for the tournament was so simple that a child c

Grace and 'Kayla' paused their training to catch their breath. The current training they had been doing was practicing on the training dummies. Despite how simple it sounded, it was just one of many exercises they were expected to do. Their training had gotten more intense with each passin day from both Sir Gilbert and Luke. They had expected as much since everyone was competing against each other to see who was the strongest. It was going to be a tough competition, but Grace was determined to do well.She had promised that she wouldn't convet first place since Luke had explained how badly it would end for them if she did, but that didn't mean she would do poorly on purpose. Her goal was to be in the top ten or whatever they had going on to show off some of her strength and show everyone she wasn't a weakling. She had already been dealing with several unsavory statements regarding her current class."Where did Luke go?" asked Grace once she realized she didn't see him
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 90: Tournament Day
Today was the tournament, and Luke was on edge. They still hadn't heard back from Laurel, so they couldn't be sure whether or not she had been able to convince the demons not to sabotage the tournament. Luke had obviously rejected the quest as soon as it appeared. However, the demon king made it clear that he would still receive the penalties if the sabotage failed despite not accepting the quest. It was quite unfair, but there wasn't much he could do.So far, there had been no signs of the demons attempting anything. From their perspective, everything looked relatively normal during the days leading up to the event. While nothing happened, they weren't quite out of the woods just yet. The demons still had time to stage an invasion or sabotage the tournament while it was taking place. The uncertainty clawed at the back of his mind."What's the point of worrying over something we can't change? There's nothing we can do, so stop worrying about it because you're affecting
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 91: Tournament (1)
Luke smiled as he couldn't wait for the announcer to give the go ahead for them to enter the rift and begin the tournament. Even with his concerns, he couldn't wait to see how he compared to his previous self. While he had killed five demons last time, it was a combination of luck and fewer people. Last time, they only had fifteen people competing, which meant each person had to kill about six demons each with some killing seven.He had failed to kill the minimum, but he had done better than a good chunk of the people. The results had been heavily skewed, with about half of them killing no demons or only one or two. He had been among the few to at least kill quite a few. Then there were the heavy hitters, who killed a good chunk of the demons. The winner had managed to kill twenty demons, which was one fifth of the demons.Recalling the winner, he stared at the woman, who seemed to notic
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 92: Tournament (2)
Grace flinched when she felt her hand on her shoulder. "You did good."She smiled shakily, as she didn't think she did a good job. It had been messy and had taken forever. They were lucky that none of its goblin friends showed up. That wasn't to say they wouldn't be able to defend themselves, as she was sure that Luke would be able to handle it, but it was obvious to her that being a Healer was the worst class to have, despite what Luke had told her before when he tried to comfort her about it.Luke, on the other hand, wasn't lying when he said she did would be the first time she had killed something in this life. Taking the life of something when she had never even killed livestock before wasn't something that could be taken lightly. It didn't matter that it wasn't human. Goblins still bled the same as humans, and it would only get worse from here when they fought against demons that looked like humans. She deserved to be praised for her efforts.Suddenly, the

As the last goblin dropped dead and its corpse vanished, Alyssa picked up the arrows that had been left behind. She grimaced at the blood coating the tips and the worn condition of the wood before stashing them into her quiver. Reusing the same arrows over and over again wasn't smart, especially when they were of poor quality, but it wasn't like she had many options.All the weapons they had been given were of Common quality, and the quivers only held ten arrows each. If she had wanted more arrows, she would have had to carry more than one quiver or force the arrows to fit into one, and that was only if the staff had allowed her to. That was the con of having to rely on others to provide them with weapons.At least she had killed ten goblins already. The last time she had checked, she saw that almost half the goblins were dead. It had been thirty minutes ago if she wasn't mistaken, which
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 94: Tournament (4)
Luke flinched as a bright light appeared in front of him. He should have known that would happen. One of the downsides of the plan he had made involving Grace was that he would also be affected by her continual use of Whispersong as long as he used the paths they had traveled on. Well, it was a small price to pay in order to mess with the others.It truly was a convenient item. He couldn't have incorporated it into his plan if it could only emit light in the same room as her. Not only were they not supposed to have items other than those provided by the people in charge of the event, but it would be obvious that she was purposely causing trouble for everyone else.Also, it wasn't going to last long anyway. It took mana to activate, and even with her high Mana stat, she would exhaust herself soon enough if she kept at it. That was why he told her only to do it for at most an hour to leave
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 95: Fight the Enraged Giant Goblin (1)
Up ahead, they saw Chris and Bobby also running, and Luke called out, "Chris. Bobby."The duo looked behind them without stopping. Once they saw who it was, Bobby said, "Luke, Kayla, did you see the message?""Yeah, do you know what happened?" Luke asked."Your guess is as good as mine," Bobby said.Chris added, "We were just looking for more demons to kill.""Have you seen anyone else since we got here?" Luke asked as they turned down another path.Bobby shook his head as he said, "Not since we split up."So far, they had yet to encounter anyone else. No demons. No other competitors. There were only empty tunnels. They couldn't even hear any fighting in the distance. That could mean several things. One of them was
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 96: Fight the Enraged Giant Goblin (2)
Luke's first thought was to launch into battle and kill the giant goblin, but he held himself back. Even though he wanted to rush in to save Grace, this was a delicate situation. Plunging headfirst into battle without thinking could get her killed. The giant goblin was smart enough to use her as a shield, and they had been fortunate that no one had accidentally killed her. For some strange reason, the system hadn't sent her back even though it should have sensed her life was in danger. The system chose now, out of all the times it could have failed to do its job.His eyes scanned the battlefield, surveying the scene. There were currently five others besides Theodore fighting the giant goblin. If he included his party, that would mean that there were ten people in one location. This left twenty-one people unaccounted for. He also had to consider the other goblins that hadn't been killed yet. They could only hope that they
