The Eternal Debauchery's

first round

Soon, it was time for the first round of battle.

Coincidentally, my battle was the first one. I would face a sixth layer youth who was holding a short spear.

This battle was nothing tense. With the strength I showed during the battle royale, everyone was sure I would win.

When I appeared on stage, my opponent was already waiting for me. He looked nervous, but even so, he showed his determination to get through the battle.

"Can you be soft on me?" He suddenly asked with a wry smile.

I chuckle softly. "You're so funny."

“Yeah, it's worth a try.” He said with a bitter smile.

I laughed again.

I should have been poisoned, but the poison wasn't easily detected. Instead, it just made my body a little tired, slightly reducing my combat strength.

It was not enough for people to notice that something was wrong. At best, they'll think I'm not in top shape.

However, against a weak opponent like the one in front of me, the poison effect is useless, so it doesn't matter if I defeat it easily.

When we finished speaking, the emperor stood up from his seat and looked at us with a dignified expression.

"You two, are you ready?"

“... Ready, Your Highness.”

"Ready."

the young man and I answered almost simultaneously.

The Emperor nodded and raised his hand. He then swung it down with a shout.

"Start!"

The young man moved first. Gathering his courage, he pounced forward with his spear pointed towards my chest.

His spear moved extremely fast, so quickly it surpassed what an ordinary tier six practitioner could achieve. In a second, he was in front of me.

With a determined look, he thrust his spear forward.

But then, his expression changed.

He felt his vision become blurred, and then, the scene before his eyes changed.

To his surprise, he was now looking up at the blue sky.

Only then did he feel the impact of his back touching the ground.

"Ohuk…"

Coughing a mouthful of blood, the young man tried to stand up again. But his body felt like lead, he could not move it in the slightest.

At that moment, my voice reached his ears.

"You lost," I said.

The young man looked at me with a dumbfounded expression before smiling bitterly.

"Thul? Is the gap this big? ”

I smiled without answering, causing the young man to laugh self-deprecatingly.

"Thank you for being easy on me."

“The winner is Clark.” The emperor announced the results of our duel immediately and signaled to the people to take the young man away and treat his injuries.

Cheers burst out in the stands, excited by the overwhelming victory. I waved towards them with a gentle smile before bowing to the emperor. Then, I left the arena and went to my resting place.

“He looks like a polite boy. I like him." My enhanced senses caught the murmur of the empress, making me roll my eyes.

Of course you like me, lady. Besides, we've done it a couple of times.

I chuckled in my heart and returned to my seat. Almost at the same time, the second battle began.

Just like my battle, this battle was completed instantly. The winner was an eighth-tier youth who wielded a great sword. He defeated his sixth-tier opponent with just two blows of his weapon.

The same thing happened in the battle that followed. Most of them are done with one side beating the other completely.

Only a few battles, which occurred between two sixth-tier or seventh-tier practitioners, were slightly longer.

Finally, it was Louis' turn.

His opponent is a little stronger than me, a seventh-tier shieldbearer. He looked like someone who was good at defensive battles.

In fact, even though no one expected him to win, many people thought he could withstand a few attacks before eventually losing.

However, when the battle started, the results were completely different.

As soon as Louis unsheathed his sword, his powerful sword intent shot towards his enemy, making him pale and making him stagger a few steps back.

Then, Louis kicked the ground and rushed forward.

His body seems to disappear. One second, he stood a few meters away from the young man. But in the next second, he was behind her.

Louis then swung his sword.

The expression of the shield-bearer youth changed. He hurriedly tried to use his shield to block the attack, but due to Louis's sword intent influence, his reaction speed was slightly slower than usual.

And during that short delay.

*creet!*

Louis' sword cut off his arm.

Under the frightened gaze of the young shield bearer, the arm holding the shield fell to the ground, and blood splattered all over the arena.

“Agh..!” The shield-bearer youth screamed in pain, holding his severed arm and desperately trying to stop the bleeding

"You lost," said Louis calmly, completely unconcerned by the young man's agonizing screams.

At that moment, the voice of the emperor was heard.

"This is Louis' victory!"

Louis nodded slightly to the emperor before leaving the arena with an ice-cold look.

Until the moment he left, no one in the arena spoke up.

As if they were afraid of him.

I couldn't help but shake my head. Louis is too cruel. It is not suitable for this kind of tournament.

At the very least, he did not kill his enemy this time.

Sighing softly, I stood up from my seat.

It's time for my second battle.
