CHAPTER 16: HEAVY INVITATION 2
“ Oh, good, to prove everything you say is true, face me with all your resolve " replied King Hellbert.
Morgan had not had time to answer the King's words, the whole place turned into a colosseum. King Hellbert and Morgan faced off at a great distance, only the two of them stood in the middle, while the generals sat in the audience quarters. The flying sand dust graced the ground they were on, the place was vast for both of them.
" Morgan, now I'm giving you a choice. Fight or die" said King Hellbert.
Morgan closed his eyes, trying to calm himself down. With everything he had learned from Asmothia's books and directives, Morgan said loudly, "I cannot break my promise to Princess Thia. Even if I have to fight to the death, even against a Demon King, I will still fight! "
" good. And one more thing, choose the weapon you are most good at. However, once the weapon was touched, the fight would begin "
Then, several high-level weapons appeared in front of Morgan. Slapped before him were swords, spears, bows, crossbows, axes, hammers, and magic sticks all forged with topaz stone. Morgan watched with all the choices of weapons available, considering all the knowledge he had learned. From the books he had read as well as the directives from Asmothia, Morgan also had skill in using the sword and controlling the power of the magic wand, although at the time Morgan still had not decided which power he would use. Finally, with complete confidence two weapons were chosen, namely the sword and the magic wand. When his fingers touched the two weapons, all the other weapons disappeared instantly. Suddenly, the Hellbert King was already in front of him with a swift movement, and Morgan reflexively immediately jumped back. However, a powerful blow to it produced a powerful explosion that struck Morgan, throwing him fiercely to the end of the arena wall.
Morgan resisted the attack by using the sword and magic from his magic wand, and he managed to stand up without any serious injuries. The magic wand that was on his left hand was raised upwards, causing the light crystal to glow at its tip. The wind around them turned into a raging storm, and Morgan immediately stepped forward on the wind. The sword in his right hand swung towards King Hellbert, while the magic wand in his left hand controlled the wind into a sharp wind incision. However, all of those attacks turned out to be just past King Hellbert. Morgan was surprised to never imagine that his attack could not hit his opponent. King Hellbert snapped a finger, and the time around the arena stopped. Morgan who had just attacked in the air floated in place without being able to move.
King Hellbert approached Morgan, then choked his neck while saying, "Far from expectations. It seems my expectations of you are too high "
Morgan could not move, his whole body stopped. He tried in every way to escape, but in vain all. His breathing was wheezing, having trouble breathing air into his lungs. Despite this, Morgan did not want to die easily; his determination was still burning strong to keep fighting back.
" There must be a way... I can't keep going like this. Everything has to change! " murm Morgan muttered in his mind. Then, a memory of the moment Asmothia started the vow agreement between master and servant appeared in her mind..
asmothia's smile flashed through Morgan's mind, a smile that was so sincere and understanding. Asmothia held tightly to Morgan's two hands as she softly said, “ Once again, do you want to be my servant? I will protect you and awaken the mana in your spirit. I will train you to be the strongest man among humans, and the strongest man among demons “. Asmothia's face was clearly imprinted in Morgan's memories, and her words entered his heart so deeply. Within the darkness of his eyes, a radiant light appeared. Asmothia was seen standing tall, both her hands looking up. On top of his palm, a red flame symbolized a demon of anger. Then, in a soft voice, he said,
" Our bond is not just an oath. Your magic power has risen, so use all the knowledge that has been hidden "
“ Superpower “
Currently his neck was still choked by King Hellbert, and his breathing was still irregular, Morgan's eyes turning black with a red cornea. A white-colored magic circle appeared around his body, and King Hellbert's hands began to burn, smoke coming out eroding the layers of gloves. Morgan continued reading the magic line, though,
“ Holy lightning “
King Hellbert's hand burned even more, until he finally let go of his grip and Morgan was thrown away. Then, a huge lightning bolt struck King Hellbert, causing a fierce explosion. The surrounding arena was shattered apart, the demon generals and the troops watching it moved away from the location. However, not long after, a larger lightning bolt struck with even more devastating force, causing an inevitable explosion. Sparks of fire spread throughout the arena, damaging everything made of demonic magic, as if melting like melted iron.
Hefei created a barrier to protect everyone who witnessed the fight, so that no one was injured. The demons who watched were fixated on the greatness of the holy magic. No words were spoken from them. Thick smoke enveloped the fighting arena, and they all waited tensely for King Hellbert. Gradually, the thick smoke began to dissipate, and faintly, the shadow of King Hellbert appeared. And sure enough, when the thick smoke disappeared completely, King Hellbert was not injured in the slightest, not even moving from where he was standing.
King Hellbert smiled, then left the arena without saying a word. Morgan had used his magic which drained almost everything he had, so his body felt extremely tired. Nyx and the two girls with her soon teleported to Morgan's immobile home, providing quick relief. Both of Nyx's hands held Morgan's cheeks, saying,
" His Majesty has acknowledged your existence, it's best to return to Luminos immediately. The Crown Princess must be very worried about your situation "
Morgan was no longer able to speak, but Nyx's smiling face understood the intent she was trying to convey. The demonic power shone on the surface of the ground, and everything became pitch-black. Morgan stood in the middle of the darkness, alone with no one. But the two girls who were with Nyx pulled Morgan's hand and ran towards the light, and Morgan woke up. Looking at the familiar roof, Morgan tried to slowly move his hand. He felt something strong grabbing his left palm, and when he turned his head, he saw a small hand holding him tightly. When looking more clearly, beside the bed, Asmothia sat down, and nearby was a bucket and a clean cloth.
" Daughter Thia, what are you doing? " said Morgan with great astonishment.
Asmothia smiled, but her tears fell down profusely. " Fool waitress, it's been worrying me so much, and now you're asking me what I'm doing? "
While wiping her tears, she continued to cry. Morgan immediately got out of bed and approached her, trying to calm her down.
