Chapter 1279 Cap 1277: Tournament preparations

It's been a week since I found out about the tournament, I might have known about it before, but in my mind, it was just background, unimportant information.

That day I spent hours talking to my sister, I made my anger very clear that she knew something so important without telling me when lives were at stake.

I understand her thinking that knowing or not knowing this before would have been irrelevant, this city is too big and has too many people, and finding traces of an Evil God here was very difficult.

But deciding not to tell me prevented me from even thinking about alternative solutions and having to investigate from scratch, so I threatened her not to let her enter the Dungeon again, it was an empty threat and she knows it.

My goal with all this drama was a warning to her, I don't care about her thoughts and personality, but I need to trust that she will act and talk to me about matters of this level of importance.

The whole time she listened to me speak arguments calmly about everything as if she knew every word and argument I was going to use, she knows a lot about my way of acting and has lived a very long life taking care of entire empires.

What irritated me was realizing that even my sermon was being used as a test with her going against each of my arguments, when I realized this I didn't say anything else and got up and left.

I felt angry enough to make my earlier empty threats come true, but I chose against it, all I did was send her away to the temporary base the others had just set up outside the Planet.

I didn't want her near me right now, her damn tests were being a distraction that I couldn't keep now, I know she could just go against my words, but she just smiled an annoying smile and left without saying anything else.

Now those who were with me in the apartment were my children while others were acting under my orders taking care of the preparation for this tournament.

"I and other Saints are taking care of what you asked." (Vanessa)

"I have them both ready for you, Hades took them." (Magnus)

"I still think I should..." (Samira)

"No, your Auras emanate my bloodline, that could give away what we're doing." (I)

I still don't know if the Target knows about me if he discovered me I must take into consideration that anyone with my lineage or having a very deep connection to my power can be easily identified by the enemy, this already cuts off my Family members, wives, children and so on To be honest, the vast majority of my companions drastically reduced the list of people for the main part of the plan.

"I've heard about this world, if I'm not mistaken, each city has an Elder Dragon among the members of its leadership table." (Magnus)

"I imagined that, but I don't know if I can trust them." (I) n((o-/V/-e.-L/.B.-I(.n

Dragons are selfish by nature, they act based on their own rules, I don't want to involve beings of that level of power if I haven't known them long enough.

"Then let's move on to the next part of the plan." (Elsaris)

----------------

Pov Xagar:

"Do you think we will be of use to them this time?" (Fiona)

"What's wrong with you, I don't understand the change, where is Fiona who trained with the spear day and night without wavering?" (I)

"She discovered how insignificant she really is..." (Fiona)

lightsΝοvel Fiona is young, but she has always been a strong woman, the death of the one I loved only made her even stronger and since then her eyes have become strong like an unshakable mountain, but in the last few days she has been acting strangely.

"Speak your mind and stop acting so pathetic, you can do more than that!" (I)

"..." (Fiona)

"In the last battle for the planet that Lord Zenos took for himself, I saw his power, I saw the power of his Familiars and I heard about the power of his family, even his servants like Lord Barok are far above us." (Fiona)

"Mister Zenos and his sisters are living Gods, those around them were anointed by their power, and from what I heard, some were even recreated by their power, not to mention that the way they train goes beyond what we are capable of handling." (I)

"That's the point, we are weak, even after being forced to train by the church of Light, receiving from Zenos' servants, being trained by Lord Magnus, and receiving a blessing from him, we are still WEAK!" (Fiona)

"Our presence was insignificant in that battle, I was close to death dozens of times being saved by Saint Vanessa's cure, the power I thought I possessed was useless... everything I achieved was useless?" (Fiona)

"How pitiful." (I)

I suggest

Slap

I put all my strength into my fist, wanting to punch her in the face, but the image of her comes to mind and my hand opens with a slap that throws her against the wall, crossing it and falling to the street, flying out of the apartment.

I wait standing, my arms crossed before she returns, I can see the anger in her gaze, which makes me smile since this looks more like her.

"You're pathetic, how old are you? Are you a spoiled 3 year old by any chance!?" (I)

"These people you spoke of were not born with this power, they trained and fought to get to where they are now, yet I have never seen them stop training while still trying to go further!" (I)

"Do you think obtaining this level of power is so easy!?" (I)

"Do you think you deserve that kind of power by acting in that childish way!?" (I)

"If you feel frustrated by your weakness, then become STRONG!" (I)

"If you want to get to where they are now, then earn it with actions and not childish dramas like this!" (I)

"Don't regret a power you don't have when you could be training to achieve a power of yours!" (I)

As I spoke, her eyes full of anger dimmed once again, but at least she doesn't have that pitiful face like before, her eyes also seem brighter, I hope this shock of reality will make her wake up from this stupid crisis.

"If it's over, let's find another room and pay for the damage I did." (I)

"..." (Fiona)

This time she followed behind me without saying anything, she spent the rest of the day silent and looking thoughtful, but this is an improvement on what I heard before.

------------------

The next day when I woke up she was holding her spear, her eyes were as sharp as the tip of her spear, her eyes piercing with strong will.

"(It seems like she understood, it was slower than I imagined, but at least she understood.)" (I)

"Come on, don't just stand there and watch me, that's disgusting." (Fiona)

"It looks like her mouth is back to normal, so let's eat, after that, we have somewhere to go." (I)

---------------

After that we ate something before going to the Coliseum, today was the last day of registration for participants and we went to register.

There were many people as you could imagine, registering participants was simple, sign and fight in a preliminary where some of the weaker participants will be eliminated.

Inside the Coliseum there were 50 arenas with spatial distortion expanding its interior, each of these arenas had 15 people placed inside and only 2 people could go through to the last preliminary round.

At first, I thought I might be lucky enough to land in the same arena as Fiona, but we ended up in different arenas, which means everyone around me is an enemy.

I tried to look around and there seemed to be different races and everyone seemed unfamiliar to each other, but only from the subtle gestures of some, I realized that they were trying to get partners.

Their thinking was not wrong, they want to maximize their chances of winning by teaming up in pairs, I also tried to do the same, and as the number of participants in each arena was 15 people, one of the participants was destined to fight alone.

I had already confirmed from everyone's movements and the way they assessed their surroundings that they were not that strong or at least did not have experience in life and death battles.

Before the start signal sounded, I searched the other arenas until I found Fiona, I realized that in the other arenas, everyone was also dividing into pairs, the same logically happened in Fiona's arena and she was the one who ended up alone, I don't know how that happened, but I must trust that she will move forward.

Vaawwwwww!!!!

"Start!" (judge)

With the bell ringing I stopped paying attention elsewhere to focus only on my arena, I won't make the mistake of underestimating unknown people.

My partner was another Demon, this one was a Magician from what little I understood and it was he who approached me possibly because he was of the same race, I never thought that one day I would fight alongside a Demon.

As soon as the fight started I pull out my sword while the Wizard has the staff in his hands, everyone was looking at each other without doing anything before the first one attacked, triggering all the others.

"(I'll try not to stand out.)" (I)
