Chapter 111
#Episode 111
3 days later, the day of the Lord’s War.
When I tore the ticket, a gate appeared.
The place where we would be watching was the top floor of the Black Colosseum, where several screens were installed around the massive glass windows.
“So this is what Senior meant.”
The screens were showing the participants’ mana flow and slow motion replays.
With this much detail, unless you were an idiot, it would be very easy to assess their combat strength.
“Now, welcome all distinguished Lords of the Divine Throne, noble gods, and honored guests!”
A frog holding a microphone jumped out and began hosting.
It seemed like they brought in something like an MC for the tournament starting from the round of 512.
He was quite eloquent, so the atmosphere inside flowed along quite enjoyably.
After a short while, all preparations were complete and a massive screen appeared in the center.
The screens that appeared in all four directions – north, south, east, and west – displayed the words “Round of 512” along with this battle’s matchup.
Lord of the Swamp Racal VS Lord of Dew Sheraf.
“Really, there are all kinds of Lords in this world.”
“I know, right? What’s the criteria for getting those titles in front?”
It felt like the more important the title in front, the stronger they were.
Not to mention someone at my level like the Lord of Souls.
“Let’s see what we can learn from watching.”
The countdown began and the Lords and high-ranking beings who had taken their seats excitedly shouted out the numbers.
10-!
9-!
.
.
.
3-!
Racal drew out a massive serrated sword.
2-!
The Lord of Dew formed water droplets into arrows and nocked them on her bowstring.
1-!
The bowstring was drawn back and the serrated sword rose into the sky.
[Let’s begiiiiiin!]
With that frivolous shout, the two Lords’ attacks collided.
The charging crocodile beastman Racal tried to split the Lord of Dew’s head in half with his serrated sword, but her arrow struck Racal’s sword precisely.
In an instant, the sword was pushed back and Racal’s guard opened, and Sheraf, as if she had been waiting for this, fired a barrage of arrows into his exposed torso.
Thwack-thwack-thwack-!
Countless ice arrows embedded themselves and Racal staggered for a moment, but his hide was so thick that he didn’t seem to take any fatal damage.
Racal pulled out the arrows with a sweep of his hand, then charged forward in rage, striking the ground with his tail.
Sheraf’s mobility didn’t seem very good, so she was caught up by Racal and was in danger of being caught by his serrated sword.
However, Sheraf seemed to know she was slower than Racal, so she naturally dodged the sword and this time created a fencing sword to parry Racal’s blade.
Then she created two thin daggers and instead dove into Racal’s guard, sliding past him gracefully while stabbing both blades into his groin.
“Gyaaahhh!”
“Wow, what a dirty move!?”
“That’s the worst!”
Racal collapsed amid the jeers of countless males.
It seemed he couldn’t endure after taking such a critical hit to his vital spot.
And so Sheraf, who surprisingly had only a 30% win rate, emerged victorious.
It seemed the win rates were proportional to overall mana and physical abilities, not absolute values.
We continued watching while eating the popcorn we had brought with my companions for a while.
Knock knock.
“Are the VIP guests inside?”
“Yes, we’re inside.”
“This is MC Frog, may I come in?”
“What’s this about?”
Since he wasn’t particularly strong, I opened the door directly, and the frog politely removed his hat and bowed his head.
“Where there are matches, shouldn’t there also be betting?”
The frog carefully held out a round betting device.
“Let me explain simply. Odds betting! You can convert mana into coins to place bets. Winners receive mana payouts proportional to their winnings.”
“Hmm, so if I gain mana, I become that much stronger?”
The frog rubbed his hands together and nodded.
“Yes, or you can keep it as coins to purchase items. For example, legal doping that can be used in the Lord’s War would also qualify.”
“Oh ho, I see.”
“However, you must be careful because the mana used this way is permanently consumed.”
Put in little, lose little.
Put in much, lose much.
Easy to understand.
Well, it would be disappointing if gambling was missing from a festival of this scale.
“Thank you, I’ll give it a try.”
“Hehehe, I have high expectations for you, Lord! Please do your best!”
With those words, the frog left the room.
It seems like it goes around soliciting other VIPs in this manner.
“So, what are you going to do?”
“Of course I have to do it. You guys can do it too if you want.”
The next round was a fight between the Lord of the Lake and the Lord of Dawn.
Without waiting, I first examined both of them with my Soul Insight.
Both physically and in terms of mana, the Lord of Dawn was at an overwhelming level.
The scoreboard was also predicting the Lord of Dawn with an 86% win rate.
“Wow, this is like putting money in and taking money out.”
My companions immediately started betting money on the Lord of Dawn, but I did the opposite and poured over 10% of my mana into the Lord of the Lake.
The odds skyrocketed crazily and some people started stirring, but no one actually invested in the Lord of the Lake.
“Wow crazy, I wondered who the underdog bettor was, but it was our lord.”
“Are you completely addicted to dopamine?”
“Hehehe, I feel bad for Boss Cha, but I won’t refuse~”
My companions clicked their tongues and mocked me, but I smiled coldly instead.
“No… isn’t this a bug? I definitely bet on the Lord of Dawn.”
A genuinely aggrieved expression was a bonus.
The other companions chuckled while rubbing their hands together.
“We’ll eat well~”
“Thank you~ You’re giving us pocket money again.”
“I live trusting only our Boss Cha.”
As my companions’ sarcasm ended, the battle began.
The Lord of Dawn deployed his domain as soon as the battle started.
The Colosseum became dawn and a mysterious world unfolded.
It seemed to be a self-enhancement type domain.
With that, the Lord of the Lake’s win rate dropped even further, and now the defeat probability rose to 90%.
The Lord of Dawn didn’t seem to be such a cowardly person as he drew his sword, pointed at the Lord of the Lake and said.
“I have no hobby of hurting the weak, surrender.”
Despite the Lord of Dawn’s suggestion, the Lord of the Lake just smiled faintly.
“If you want to die that badly, I’ll send you off with one strike-!”
Just as the Lord of Dawn flew forward and was about to swing his sword.
The Lord of the Lake also deployed his domain simultaneously.
Compared to the lord who painted the entire sky with dawn, a shabby single lake appeared.
Dawn and lake, the lake reflecting stars was a beautiful sight, but cold fangs were hidden within.
‘There’s a reason he’s called the Lord of the Lake.’
A golden sword drawn from the lake began to control the Lord of the Lake.
He slipped past the Lord of Dawn’s sword, penetrated his embrace, and struck his chest.
Then, before flying away, he stepped on his foot first, then cleanly struck his neck.
“…Huh?”
“What… what? Does this make sense?”
“Did everyone know about this?”
I smiled and pointed at the lake.
“Excalibur was originally given by the Lady of the Lake.”
At those words, my sighing companions trembled with their fists.
Especially Yeo-ul rushed over, grabbed my collar and shook me.
“You…! You, did you know and not tell us!?”
“Ahaha, I’ll eat well thanks to Boss Kim~”
“Aaaah! I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you and go to hell-!”
She said that, but Kim Yeo-ul gently squeezed me with just a headlock without activating Yeonje or King of Fists stance.
I could only get free after playfully tapping out.
“Anyway, you saw, right? You just need to follow me unconditionally.”
“…No? One time isn’t enough to believe. I’ll go my own way.”
“Well, suit yourself.”
Unlike Kim Yeo-ul who declared confidently, Hunter Baek Do-hyeon and Rey had already quietly approached my side and were flattering me.
“As expected, you have a different eye for things, Lord.”
“Well, just looking at the companions you’ve gathered shows you have different eyes, right?”
“What!? You said you’d go with me to the end!”
“A woman’s heart is like a reed.”
“Ohoho, can’t help it, when there’s a better eye than mine, why would I stubbornly insist?”
Kim Yeo-ul, who had been getting angry with hissing sounds, blinked at Hunter Baek Do-hyeon’s words, then quietly approached behind me and wrapped her arms around my neck.
It felt more like a back hug than a chokehold.
“Ehehe, I trust my master, who else would I trust? You know it was all just a joke, right?”
“Hmm. How impudent…”
“Come on, you know how much I love you.”
After giggling and laughing for a while, the corpses and stage were cleared and a new match began.
This match was between the Blue King and the Lord of Music.
Especially since the Lord of Music was such a big shot, his odds were already exceeding 90% before the match even started.
In contrast, the Blue King on the opposite side had no information available, just the three words ‘Blue King’ and nothing more.
‘Hmm, so even among Monarchs, they can be expressed like that.’
I quietly observed the Blue King.
Through my Soul Sight, I could see the Blue King possessed the skills of a swordsman.
He was a very excellent swordsman, but whether he could compare to the Lord of Music was absolutely not the case.
“Hmm…”
“What do you think?”
“We’re ready to follow your lead!”
“But this time it has to be the Lord of Music, right?”
Ignoring the opinions of those ignorant fools, I looked at the Blue King’s soul this time.
“…50% on the Blue King.”
“5… 50%!? You’re betting half your magical power?”
“If you’re scared, then screw off. I’ve placed my bet.”
The soul I saw in the Blue King was indescribably ‘blue.’
It wasn’t simply the blue of the ocean or summer sky, but meant that the Monarch’s own ego and presence were solid.
Even my senior was surprised enough to go “Hooh…”, so this match was a foregone conclusion.
My companions, though doubtful, followed me in betting small amounts of magical power on the Blue King after I had bet half.
Except for Kim Yeo-ul.
“Hey, how can some king without even a proper name beat the Lord of Music? This is ridiculous, isn’t this quackery?”
And with that, she went ahead and bet her magical power on the Lord of Music.
It was absurd, but since I wouldn’t be the one losing out, I didn’t bother to interfere.
[Now then, with your passionate support, let’s begin the countdown!]
10!
9!
8!
.
.
.
3!
2!
1!
The moment the countdown ended, the Blue King drew the sword at his waist.
Simultaneously, a massive blue slash flew out and cut down the Lord of Music.
It was a strike so fast and powerful it sent chills down my spine.
The Lord of Music couldn’t even react properly and his body was split apart while his expression remained unchanged.
[The… the Blue King’s overwhelming victory! A major upset is happening!]
Even the flustered Frog was stuttering.
And Kim Yeo-ul was.
“Aaaaah! How does this make any sense!!”
Now she couldn’t even speak properly.
