True King's Ecstasy

Delviny stood in the centre of the arena, her opponent on the other side. The crowd was tense, waiting for the battle between Delviny and the one who aced every battle up until now to happen.

The Blazing Sun group was notorious for their ruthless tactics, and many feared for Delviny's safety, as she was one of the most beloved idols in this kingdom right now.

"You're a brave one, challenging me, even after I showed you what I can do," the leader of the Blazing Sun group sneered with his sly-looking eyes running all around the arena.

"But you'll soon regret it. If you want to blame someone, blame your brother,"

Delviny simply smiled. She knew she had an ace up her sleeve - the violet gem that Velian and the mages had created specifically for this occasion.

And for a few moments, it seemed like the Blazing Sun leader had the upper hand as he fought against the other woman. But then Delviny seized her opportunity and threw the violet gem at her opponent ignoring her own battle.

"What are you-" Amos was dumbfounded by the current development of this battle.

He knew this tournament wasn't normal, as there were a lot of strange people and one of the people he knew also acted strange, but seeing something suspicious going on, he knew taking some distance from them would be a good idea.

He quickly retreated as soon as Delviny warned him and looked at his friend who acted as if something is burning him from the inside out.

The gem shattered on impact, releasing a burst of purple flame that enveloped the leader of the group. He screamed in agony as the gem burned him from the inside out.

"Ahhhhhhh~ what did you do? What is this flame?" He shouted.

The crowd gasped in horror as his form began to distort and shift.

As he revealed his true form, his skin turned a deep shade of red, and his eyes glowed a bright yellow. His teeth sharpened into razor-sharp fangs, and his hands transformed into menacing claws. The demonic creature's horns on his forehead curved upwards, giving him an even more intimidating appearance. His wings, previously hidden, unfurled from his back with a deafening sound, sending a gust of wind that shook the ground. The sight of the demon was enough to make even the bravest of souls tremble in fear.

It was a sight that no one in the arena would soon forget.

At first, they thought, Delviny cheated using an illegal attack, but after the fire settled only they realised what she was trying to do.

"You'll pay for this, Delviny!" the demon-looking leader growled, his voice deep and menacing. "Curse you and your brother!"

Delviny stood her ground, unfazed by the demon's threat. She knew that she had done what needed to be done to protect herself and those she cared about.

"I'll take that curse with a grain of salt," she said calmly. "But for now, it's time for you to pay for trying to threaten my brother."

She saw the violet gem doing its work burning the demon from the inside, and she knew even without her doing anything, soon he will turn into ashes just like the convict.

This was a joint operation as Juno, Daphnia and Velian dealt with the remaining members of the group.

The sounds of growling came from inside the resting room and soon the doors opened while another three demonic-looking beings came out with their bodies looking the same as the leader of the blazing sun group.

"So all of you were transformed humans?" Delviny couldn't understand what this parasite wanted from transforming humans like this into demonic creatures.

'Is it a disease? Or is someone trying to wipe out the humans?'

The question remained in her mind, but for now, she has to deal with them.

The crowd tried to run in panic but with Elda and Sariya interfering, they quickly calmed down the crowd and waited to see what was going to happen from now on.

"Curse you! Curse you!" The leader shouted giving a beast-like growl and feeling the pain of burning alive.

All the other members were also the same but things didn't go as expected since the woman who was the last competitor of the tournament, suddenly took out something that looked like an amulet and used it to absorb all the flames that were eating the demonic begins from the inside.

"What do you think you're doing?" she demanded, her eyes flashing with anger, but she had a little smile underneath her anger as she got what she wanted.

"What do you think you're doing?" Asked Velian with anger and curiosity.

"Who are you, woman?"

The woman's response was immediate but it wasn't directed toward Velian, she looked at the Blazing Sun group and said.

"Fools! What are you waiting for attack and kill them all,"

Velian and his group were taken aback as the once-demonic blazing sun group now turned on them, their eyes glowing with an otherworldly light. They charged forward with a ferocity that took the attackers by surprise.

But all the members didn't come to attack them, instead, the mage woman whom Velian addressed as the old hag went in the direction of the unknown woman and grabbed her.

"Velian! Don't go creating new ways to deal with us, you will get hurt, Just stay put and accept your death, don't try to be a genius," The unknown woman said while she was lifted from the earth by the mage woman.

Velian quickly acted with his slashing spell, he quickly cut the leader's head and burned it causing him to scream again.

Other girls were busy keeping the remaining two demonic beings occupied, but Velian had a bad feeling about the woman that used an amulet to defend against his attack.

He quickly used his levitation and got close to her and used another slashing spell, but suddenly the woman held the amulet that she used to absorb his spell in his direction and it caused Velian to be thrown off several meters away and clash against the crowd section creating a big crater.

"Haha~ that's what you get for trying to be cocky! By the way, that is for this sample, I will put your mana into good use and create even more strong parasites," The woman shouted while chuckling like a mad woman.

"You know the place you have to visit if you want to meet me, so come, I'm waiting for you, my best subject,"
