Not long after the roar, I see a large minotaur-like monster from old world Earth mythology charging down the maze corridor while roaring. The thing just plain looks like a humanoid bull, with a bull’s head, bulls legs, and fur over a humanoid torso and arms. To be honest, the only thing it’s missing from old world Earth myth is a tail. Wonder why? I float slightly into the air as the thing lets out a huff of visible air from its nostrils before I identify the thing. Only to find my lips person…-

The fae in the audience all begin to applaud. But the applause doesn’t last long as a loud shattering sound echoes from the screen and the maze beneath them all, drawing everyone’s gaze immediately back to the competition. And King Oberon opens his mouth slightly at what he finds, only to close it again a second later. Then he mutters, Everyone within the stadium stares at the aftermath of Scarlet punching one of the walls of the maze with her Red Plague-covered fist. An aftermath that leaves the…

The Fae King continues going through each and every one of the competitors, introducing them one by one with each one getting less attention than the last. Simply because they aren’t as well known by the audience. And to finish things off, right after he introduces Anthony, that void creature hybrid guy, the Fae King ends with the last competitor, the lowest level one of the bunch, Oh, right. I forgot about that last part. The audience seems to grow confused at Aria’s age. Which makes sense to…

Now that he mentions it, I find Leonidas’s fae floating next to him. That aside though, I can’t help but send an odd look towards King Oberon. Then I turn that odd look onto Tar. Wait, is he in that big a rush to abdicate the throne? Tar nods, Interesting I turn my gaze back up as King Oberon introduces the next one. I turn around to look for Xyvandra, only for him to begin announcing the next one, surprising me in the process with who is the fourth highest level. Them having skipped the second…

Very quickly, the stadiums begin to fill up with thousands upon thousands of people flooding into them from the entrances. Meanwhile the entry that we had entered through vanishes and fireworks begin to explode in the air as a vast screen appears high above our heads. One showing each one of us competitors. Right as I’m studying everything, I feel something impacting my side, bringing my gaze down to find Aria hugging me. I blink in surprise for a second before patting her head and looking up…

Amelia continues going over some basic details of the tournament all the way till it begins. But there isn’t much else that she says. Nothing all that important at least. Just some things about the way for others to spectate, the fact that the tournament will be displayed on massive screens in the sky on both Earth and Tartarus, and mentioning how much the news on Earth is hyping up the tournament. To the point that they made a ranking for who they thought would win. The Demon Lords and White being at…

Eventually they finally stop staring when Amelia opens her mouth and says, “We don’t have time for this.” Which snaps them all out of the funk they were in. “Do you know what’s going to happen?” I blink before tilting my head slightly and answering, “A tournament?” The corner of her mouth quirks slightly at that, showing her amusement. But she answers seriously despite that, “Yes, but do you know how it’ll be handled?” “Nope,” I answer honestly with a shrug. Amelia nods her…

Satan immediately turns his head towards the Southwest when he senses a powerful wave of power shooting out from above the ocean. One that he recognizes. He quickly begins to fly towards the origin of the power, deciding to see for himself before jumping to any conclusions. And after he gets close enough to see the crimson light, he finds his body locking up in an instinctive fear. Sweat begins to build up across his body, and he feels a strong urge to flee. But he still pushes forwards, deeper into the…

Emily smiles as she walks down the sidewalk of the main street within the capital, vaguely listening to her friends from Lion’s Heart talking alongside her. “Did you hear? Another professor quit teaching.” One of her friends, a girl named Julie with long black hair and a short size, albeit still taller than Emily, says with her usual gossipy tone of voice. “This makes twenty professors that have resigned from the university in just the past week!” “Well, what point is there for them to stay…

King Oberon watches through a portal as the Warden of the Red Plague unleashes the Red Plague, spreading the enormous mass of glowing red liquid into the air towards the void creatures. Void creatures that are just beginning to notice her arrival and target the planet. The swarm of Red Plague continuously spreads out to blot out the entire sky before it clashes with the void invasion and quickly begins to devour it, not giving the lower Class void creatures even the slightest chance of fighting…
