“In this preliminary round held today… if you kill me and advance to the finals,
I will return Glea to you.
Of course… if Glea survives the preliminaries and advances to the finals.”
“Damn it… Don’t act like Glea was yours from the beginning…
Glea is my precious girlfriend!!!”
Glea wasn’t mine from the beginning.
But now you’re a loyal slave who would sacrifice his life for my every word?
“Ah~ So… you won’t accept the offer…
Is it okay if I understand it?”
“That… That’s…!”
“You can just kill me and go up. It’s not difficult, right?”
***
Inside the Arena of Glory, where the final preliminary round for selection of heroes is held.
I remember that there were over 2,000 people who survived yesterday…
The number of participants was reduced considerably, if not by half.
While I turned my head to see how many participants had come,
A large bell rang, signaling 9 a.m.
As soon as the magnificent bell rings announcing the start of the preliminary round,
All doors leading out of the stadium were closed.
“Everyone who gathered for the final preliminaries of the Licht Kingdom’s Champion Selection Competition! Welcome!”
And then the host appeared from the top of the stadium, shouting loudly.
The opening of the final preliminary round is announced with the same lively voice as yesterday.
“The final gateway to select a great warrior who will defeat the demons and bring peace to mankind!
A total of 1,407 people participated who bravely took on the challenge without running away!”
Yesterday, a little less than 2,500 people passed the second preliminary round…
It seems that more than 1,000 people have given up.
Well… there are probably some people who took it lightly and took on the challenge.
Because it is a dangerous challenge that can lead to not only injury but even death.
“‘Last Man’s Standing’ involves attacking other participants until 100 remain.
If you want to give up during the game, just say ‘I give up’ on your nameplate!
Also, if you pass out or notice that your breathing or heartbeat has stopped:
You will be automatically moved and eliminated based on your nameplate!”
Although they inform you that you can give up even during the preliminaries…
Do you have the presence of mind to do that while over a thousand people are fighting like that?
“In that case…. right away… Sijaaa immediately… right away… I will!!!!”
The final gateway, ‘Last Man’s Standing’, begins immediately without any delay.
As the name suggests, a slaughter war has begun in which a limited number of people fight until only a few people remain.
“Glea? Come into my arms.”
“Yes♥ If the master says so, I will gladly…♥”
Before the other participants rush in, they hug Glea and create an air current under their feet, allowing them to fly high.
“What! Isn’t that the person who flew yesterday too?”
“Hey! Where are you looking! Take this!!!!”
I think it caught some attention because I suddenly soared upward,
It seems that there are many people who do not care about that and are trying to eliminate competitors.
“Drop those women first! I’m sure they’ll use area magic from above!”
It looks like they are planning to attack me as I fly up with Glea in my arms and throw me down…
Is there any way I can just let that happen?
“Glea. Shield magic… you know how to use it, right?”
“Of course♥ I will do anything to protect my master…♥”
“Attack!”
“Blizzard Piercing!!!”
“Lightning Thorns!!!”
“Perfect Barrier♥”
Ice chunks and lightning spikes were fired at me from the ground, but
All were blocked by Glea’s ‘Perfect Barrier’ and nullified.
As I heard from the man who shared the snacks earlier,
Glea only had a personality problem, but her one skill was that she was an outstanding wizard.
In her personal book, white magic skills that strengthen or protect allies,
We were able to see ice magic skills focusing on wide-area attacks.
Among them, the protection magic ‘Perfect Barrier’ has a high level of 4,
It is at a level where it can block some magic attacks or projectile attacks.
“The attack doesn’t work because of the protection magic!”
“Ahaha♥ You stupid idiots… Did you try to touch the master?”
As expected, all magic and projectiles fired from the ground bounced off.
Yesterday’s Glea could not keep calm due to her psychological state at the time,
Today, she is deploying her magic thoroughly and accurately according to my instructions.
“Look over there! That guy… he’s trying to get me back somehow?
That won’t happen! Ahahaha♥”
Where Glea pointed, there was Benson, fighting to the death while swinging an axe.
As he is also quite skilled, he is powerfully suppressing those who rush at him.
“Aaaaa!!!”
“Take it!!!”
“Kaaa!!”
The sound of clashing metals forming weapons and the spirit of those engaged in combat.
The two sounds fill the glorious arena.
“Huh? There are some kids I saw last time.”
In yesterday’s second qualifying round, a young warrior was also seen running while carrying a wizard.
A form in which the wizard attacks stably while he covers the wizard in front and receives attacks.
He has a calm and disciplined fighting stance that is impossible for a person of that age.
For some reason, I thought that those friends might be selected as warriors.
A thought suddenly occurred to me.
As I watch several people standing out in the air with Glea’s shield,
The number of participants was seen gradually decreasing.
It’s now about 30 minutes after the preliminaries started.
The number of participants has already decreased by more than half.
More than those who fight with other competitors and are eliminated,
The point is that there were many people who got scared and gave up halfway through.
Even though 30 minutes have passed, you are still fighting hard without getting tired.
He has the physical durability, offensive power, and mental stamina.
And Benson, who has it all and is alive.
“I think I’ve seen enough now… Shall we finish this soon?”
“Yes♥”
At this rate, I can roughly guess which people will be selected as heroes…
Now it’s time to go back and leave a brilliant impact.
Come down to the ground again with Glea, who has lifted the shield,
He extended his hand towards those who were concentrating on the fight along with the crude staff he was carrying on his back.
“Dark wave…♥”
With the chant, a huge purple magic circle appears above the stadium,
From there, smoke filled with the strong scent of magic energy is billowing out.
The black smoke quickly spread throughout the stadium and engulfed the participants.
“What is this…! Wow!!! Aaaa!!”
“What’s happening all of a sudden!!!”
A wide-area magic that far surpasses the first preliminary round, ‘Cloud of Despair’.
It is so powerful that it will render them incapable of combat unless they have a certain level of resistance.
“Kuhhh… Yuna… are you okay?”
“I’m… okay… I’m fine… but… it’s so cold… and I’m scared…”
While the smoke was covering him, he approached the young warrior and wizard who had been watching him earlier.
“Are you very scared? Hehe…”
“Who… who are you! Who are you…!”
A warrior who was startled by a voice coming from a wave of smoke.
In order to protect the female mage, I suppressed my fear and aimed my sword precisely in my direction.
“You… deserve to become warriors.
Even veteran adventurers and knights could not withstand this wave of falling…
The ability to fight while supporting and protecting each other is at an innate level.”
“What do you mean… What is your identity…!!!”
“If you’re curious about my identity… I’ll tell you right here and now♥”
The dark wave that had spread throughout the stadium was immediately cleared away,
He held Glea again and flew into the air.
“What is it? Suddenly the smoke disappeared!”
“Hello? Everyone who participated in the Licht Kingdom’s warrior selection contest!”
“That woman… Is this what she did? Attack! Drop it now! Now is your chance as there is no shield!”
As soon as the dark wave cleared and I was in the air, a man shouted to attack me.
I fired a thick, long black spear at him and killed him in an instant.
“Everyone! What is this… What! Who are you! What are you doing?”
“Former demon empress of the Nemesis Empire. It’s called Nyx Kaiserin!”
“Demons…? Empress of the demons?!”
The host appeared late after the dark wave had already hit all the participants.
Feeling that something was unusual, I accompanied other people who were conducting the selection process.
I showed my true self to them and revealed my identity.
“I heard that everyone in the kingdom is recruiting warriors to subdue me and my compatriots…
I came to see it in person because I was curious.”
“You monster!!! Give me my girlfriend back!!!!”
Benson rushes towards me among the panicked people.
Because I was floating in the air, I recklessly ran a distance that I couldn’t even reach.
“It’s a pity… I thought I gave you quite a long time?”
Of course, I made a foolish shield, hovered in the air, and only used wide-area magic.
There was no chance of him killing me using an ax at close range.
But that doesn’t mean it’s fair for me, a wizard, to engage in close combat with him, right?
“Glea will now be converted into a demon through my hands♥
And you will work hard for our demons, right?”
“Yes♥ I will sacrifice this body for my master♥”
“No… No!!! No!!! Don’t run away like a coward!!!!”
Benson cried out in great despair as he looked at Glea being held by me.
“It was a short while… but it was a fun experience♥
Well then… Let’s all become great warriors and meet again!♥”
