Chapter 20: Attack on the Banquet

The announcemt of the Royal Blood's appearance stirred up the tire crowd, who immediately stood up from their nods.

Ev some people of low rank knelt before the name of the Royal Blood.

'The little princess and her prestation', at the same time as this thought came to Theos, a small figure walked steadily forward, her blue eyes, which contained the shape of crowns, observing nothing but what was in front of her.

Her long pink hair stood up to the wind that blew with her, with a smile that chanted every man with her beauty and charisma.

Her pink dress with black trim added another kind of charm, hancing it ev more. Although she did not have an ample cleavage like the other heroines, she had more of a Loli shape.

Her delicate and elegant beauty caused her to have several instant admirers, mostly m.

As before, the same servants and the Count took the Princess to another room, as did Duke Whitelock.

'Another heroine... The little princess.' As he watched her ter her room, Theos was already more than ready and prepared for what was to come.

Using his negative mana, he created a shield for Alice that was stronger than steel and invisible, impossible to see ev for Alice who was inside the shield.

'As one would expect from Theos's body, he handles negative ergy as naturally as if he had be familiar with it for years' Feeling the power coursing through his veins, Theos turned his gaze to the cheering crowd, who suddly froze in time under his gaze.

Slowly, a black barrier appeared betwe the adult and te zones, trapping all the tes in one and the adults in the other, with no one to stop it.

"It's no joke to say that I'm currtly at the level of an Advanced Magic Swordsman, ev Advanced Peak," Theos declared. All Advanced Magic Swordsm could strgth their bodies with mana, and he was no exception. He covered his tire body with a completely red mana... Negative Mana.

His physical abilities were incredibly hanced to the point where he could reach a speed that not ev the human eye could keep up with. The young m a them tried to flee in panic, trying to break through the barrier in front of them with pure, useless blows while the shadows slashed and inflicted serious wounds on all the nobles.

Witnessing all this, Theos frowned wh he saw that one of those shadows was heading straight for him. Its crimson eye glowed with greater intsity as it moved furiously from side to side.

[Ding, the host, has just activated a new skill, "Hide Skill", rank: ¿] Upon hearing the system message, Theos was interested to see what he had gained, but he had no time to think about it at the momt.

Perhaps due to his improved eyesight, he could see the figure that was supposed to be the shadow: a hooded man in black with a mask, just like the description Luna had giv him and the character in the original novel.

With a sword, the hooded man tried to cut off Theos' head with a single slash. But Theos easily dodged it, taking a few steps back with his high speed and th delivering a powerful kick that the hooded man barely managed to block. The dozs of bones that shattered from the impact of the kick echoed across the battlefield.

The hooded man's body was thrown nearly a doz meters away. His stocky figure charged Theos again, not caring in the least about his wounds, as if he didn't know pain.

But before he could attempt another cut, Theos arrived in front of him. With a powerful punch, he landed directly on the hooded man's head.

Theos' fist not only stopped on impact but continued to guide the hooded man's head until it slammed into the g, crushing and killing him in a single instant. The impact had crushed his face so badly that it was impossible to tell if he was human at all.

"Not bad," Theos commted as he felt his power growing more and more. The hooded man he had faced was by no means weak; he might ev be a swordsman of the highest basic rank.

With his right hand, he grabbed the hooded man's blood-filled sword. "I should take this with me, it would be so awkward to fight with my fists all the time," Theos thought as he moved a the battlefield again.
