After a long bout of people congratulating me, with Cynthia and Allen having to leave early amidst it due to work and the others all keeping their distance from the girl in my lap, I finally exit the magical reality. Only to find a System Notification in my vision that has me freezing stiff as the pod I’m in slowly opens. Warning! This is a universal notification! Lucius tor de blackheart has attained a new title-bearing mythic skill! Lucius – otherwise known by the title Lord of death – has now…-

The Knight says more than a few compliments while riling up the crowd and getting them more and more excited until he eventually snaps his fingers, making me appear on a much narrower tower with some sort of massive hologram of me that follows my every movement floating above my head. And out of the corner of my eye, I can see both Lucas and Tempest with their own towers and holograms as well, albeit with theirs being lower in elevation than mine and with a less grand appearance overall. “We have now…

“You saw the universal notification?” Fredricka asks the three changelings before immediately getting a wave of head nods. “Good. It means the Lord of Hellfire is the only Demon Lord left without one of his own.” The changelings grow excited at the thought of each of the four Demon Lords obtaining a Title aside from their Titles as Demon Lords at long last. “It also means the war will start progressing soon,” Fredricka continues while turning back to the TV to immediately narrow her eyes upon…

Before we clash at the center of the clearing, I begin using blood boil and life drain on him while covering my forearms in blood claws and covering my vitals in blood armor. Meanwhile he shapeshifts his feet into powerful bearlike extremities and covers himself in some sort of grey energy. Then the moment our claws meet, a faint shockwave shoots out, striking at the grass and trees in the clearing. And unsurprisingly, his strength actually pushes me back a little until I start burning my blood. Damned…

It takes about five or so minutes before the announcement goes through the arena declaring that Tempest was defeated by Shifter, following which I find myself teleported from my lovely tree to a large tower once again. And immediately upon doing so, I find thunderous cheers echoing throughout the stadium, along with a certain Knight floating down towards us again while shouting, “Absolutely amazing! This has been an extraordinary semifinal round! And now we have our two finalists!” Extraordinary? I…

I close my eyes as I listen for the others, only to find one person in Rebound’s section quickly moving to the neighboring section of it belonging to Tempest, where I also find someone calmly walking around the top of a mountain. My eyes open again, and I let out a sigh. Looks like those two are going to fight it out without me… that’s disappointing, but what the heck. If one kills the other, which is likely, then I’ll be fighting the winner regardless. Anyways, you were asking something…

When I reach the Plaguebearer girl, neither of us say a word before we begin our fight. Which I very much appreciate, and the girl seems to as well. The reason I chose to go after her first was because there isn’t much she can really do with her section of the arena. After all, we’re all Class I Guardians, so none of us can really directly manipulate our magics. In fact, most people can’t. The only people I’ve heard being able to directly and freely manipulate their magics are a few Class V…

Black has never been very sure about how he feels towards White’s daughter. One side of him wants to adopt her himself and treat her as his own daughter, spoiling her for everything she had to go through. The other side wants to adopt her only to spite White without giving a damn about the girl herself. But one thing both sides agree on is that if he ever had a child, he would want them to be just like the girl. Quiet, powerful, knows how to pay back favors, and not a wimp. And with a sense of…

I spend all of the downtime between rounds simply going over the other competitors who’ve reached the semifinals, making sure I remember each of their skills by heart so that I’ll be ready to deal with them. And I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re doing the same. The moment the countdown at the center of the stadium strikes zero, we all appear on top of a large tower in the center of the stadium with the crowd going absolutely crazy. “And the time has come! For the semifinal round of the first…

Blake stays silent as he watches the replay of one of the Scarlet Wolf’s latest battles – particularly the one between her and the Class I girl named Lost – meanwhile his classmates and friends around him continue gossiping about who they believe will win the Primary out of the five remaining students. He doesn’t care though. All he cares about is White’s daughter. “Blake!” Blake vaguely hears his name being called but ignores it to continue watching the replay with his head resting on the…
