"Xu'er, you need to calm yourself. As you clearly saw, that emperor was powerful enough to block our attacks. So, you cannot blindly initiate the offense now. You understand me?" In truth, Fan Rou was very worried that Xu Rou couldn't calm herself down. However, fortunately, she managed it. After all, his wife was very sensitive when it comes to their dear son.
"I know. I just can't stay put knowing that our son is in danger. Who knows what those devils are plotting against him?" Xu Rou sighed.
If the devils wanted to truly uproot the entire clan, they would first do it by targeting the person who threatened them the most. So, it was understandable why the devils targeted Jin Rou first and not Yanlu Rou.
"Just like I said, our son isn't that weak to die by their mere hands. He is talented enough that all the universes are in envy because of him, you are very much aware of that. So although he hasn't yet matured, it's already already given that he will sooner or later." Fan Rou tried to console his wife. As a husband, he was greatly broken when he was seeing his wife suffer like this.
"..." Xu Rou didn't say anymore and focused herself against the enemies. Right now, worrying for her son wouldn't do anything. All she could do was fight for her home in order for her child to have a place to return to.
"Since you all want to die miserably, I'll be happy to accommodate your deaths." The emperor held his chin casually, "Instead of fighting like rogues, why don't we fight like those held in the annual tournaments? But the difference is, it's a 1 vs 1 death match."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe emperor wanted to held a tournament-style battle right here in the sky.
The Rou family didn't say anything. It seemed like they were agreeing to this set up. And the emperor had taken their tacit silence as a yes.
"I'm planning to create this a six-man team each. But your family has only four members, what should I do? It looks like you will be in a great disadvantage." The emperor laughed.
He was doing this in purpose and the family was very much aware of this fact. The way the emperor was handling things was like he got everything covered and everything was going well.
Yanlu Rou knew that with this set up, their chances of winning would be higher. After all, their family members present were all matured and powerful zeniths. But the thing was, they were short of people to fill the six-man team.
Yanlu Rou wanted to negotiate, but it seemed that it was no longer needed as two people arrived.
Keisa Su and Shila Su have arrived. However, their faces were gloomy as if they had eaten something so horrible. But, the family knew why. So they didn't ask.
It was because of their missing daughter, who came along with Jin Rou. Because of the appearance of the devils, the Su Family immediately set off to find their daughter. However, it looked like it was in vain.
Both their families' offsprings were gone missing and unknown if they were still alive or not. They just hoped that nothing bad had happened to them.
"We will be on the Rou's side. So, it must be now a six-man right?" Shila Su coldly said, "Why don't we start now?"
"The Su family, what a surprise." But the emperor didn't look surprised at all, "It's okay if you want to die with the Rou's. I won't mind."
"So cocky of you, Patrosh." Yanlu Rou sneered, "Now that we agree to your set up, we want to add one more thing."
"Speak up." The emperor gave his permission.
"There will be no interventions. A battle between two beings should be theirs until the end. No helping or saving." Yanlu Rou said. She wanted for both parties to not have anywhere to go back to, "If you agree, let's take a pledge to the heavens."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I don't know if you're suicidal or not, but I'm out of it. I guess." The emperor raised his hand and did a pledge to the heavens. The rules have been stated and it needed to be abided. Or else, they would die.
Yanlu Rou also did the same. Now, all they could do was fight their grounds and win.
"Let's start!" The emperor shouted and looked at his strongest devil general, "Rol, defeat them and show what you got as the strongest general."
"I shall bring you honor, Your Majesty." Rol stepped forward to the newly created arena in the sky. It was provided by the heavens because of the pledge. It was like a simple gladiator arena, but it had universal laws that no one was capable of interfering. Once two people entered there, unless one was killed, they couldn't get out of it.
"Then, I'm going to fight first." Shila Su volunteered, "I can't just mop here and wait for my daughters. I will sharpen my skills first to busy myself."
"Husband, take care. This is not a game. Take the enemy seriously and never underestimate them." Keisa Su warned him with worrying eyes.
"Keisa, don't worry. I'll be fine." There's no place to run. More of a reason now because their daughter was still missing. So, they could only fight with the Rou family against these devils.
And then, Shila Su had also entered the arena. A red glow was activated around it. It was indicating that no more people were allowed to enter. It also meant that the space inside was fibered with laws.
Rol immediately equipped his black spear and looked at his enemy with killing intent. He was planning on not going easy at all.
Shila Su had also started buffing himself up. He casted so many blessing to his body and his body bloated up like a massive body builder. He was looking at the devil with more of killing intent that could suffocate anyone.
And now, the death match was finally beginning.
