Volume 15 Chapter 27: Keith Vs Valgros

The day of the quarter-finals arrived. Four contestants were left. 

There was one word to describe the sentence: hectic. Unlike the other days, the stands were filled to the brim with people. Cheers and support came to the contestants, wanting one to win. Today, it was a battle between Keith and Valgros.

"Valgros! Beat him!"

"You can do it!"

"Die, human!"

"It was a fluke!" 

"..." Keith chuckled at the shouts directed at him. The hate was so dense he could taste it. That wasn't going to change. His eyes slowly glanced at the special box. He couldn't see them, but he could feel Eri and the others cheering him on.

Then, his eyes turned to Scarlet, who sat on her throne with Tharaziel and Elyndra. 

I hope she's alright. There was an off-ness with her when they ate breakfast today; she missed her mouth three times. 

"Don't mind them." Valgros walked beside him, "Whatever happens, you have my respect."

"Same to you." The two heard their names as they headed up to the stage. A still silence occurred between the two. The shouting and cheering from the side instantly increased as they showed themselves. What they didn't know was the two weren't listening as they stared at one another; both were itching and ready. 

Keith was going all out today. He brought out his halberd today. The same could be said for Valgros; he held a different sword from the previous bouts. 

"Begin!" 

With the roar of the referee, the two dashed at one another. Keith swung his halberd down while Valgros swung upwards! Both weapons collided, causing a standstill in the center ring. However, Valgros quickly backed off and sliced at Keith's face.

"!" Keith quickly pulled back. His eyes narrowed at that blade. 

Blood slowly trickled down from Keith's cheeks. Both had smirks as they knew the greetings were over.

"Guess we're not holding back against one another." 

"Who would when you brought out a halberd?" The demon instantly understood the halberd was heavier than his sword. 

The two continued to dash at one another; blade and halberd clashed once again. It resounded down where Keith was the one who was pushed away. Soundwaves continued to reverberate through the stands. 

The two’s battle made the audience speechless at how fierce they were.

How powerful! Valgros only got better and better. But Keith! They had never seen such a weak human capable of such speed and strength. 

"He's been holding back against me that much?" Tharaziel's hand clenched tightly at the chair as he stared at the close-range battle. Not even half-strength; Keith was definitely half-heartedly fighting him the entire time. Right now, this man was much faster and stronger. Plus, he was going close combat; Keith had never done that against Tharaziel.

"See?" Scarlet had a calm smile as she watched. Her eyes said it all; there was nothing wrong with her choices. 

“I’m impressed. You’re quite strong.” Valgros smirked, “Then I will have to use my techniques.” And that was when he swung his sword. 

“!” Warning bells rang throughout Keith’s mind as he raised his halberd to guard against it. However, 

Smack!  

Keith’s head was bleeding as he faltered. What was that? He definitely made contact with the sword. That was something he knew for sure. But what about the second one? There’s no way he’s able to throw out two blows at the same time.

What did he do?

The tides were shifting so quickly as Valgros took advantage of his confusion and knocked him down left and right. Scarlet was taken aback. Keith was getting pushed back so fiercely. 

“Impressive swordsmanship,” Tharaziel muttered as he watched his movements. It was quite remarkable. Elyndra then muttered, “He seemed to be using shadow magic.” There was a different flow of magic around him.

“How is he…”

“It’s because he’s using a strong set of martial arts. In addition, he mixed it with his shadow magic, and you get a production of that.” The combination of the two was fearsome.

“Valgros might be able to become Vice-commander if he stayed longer.” Valgros was someone who trained under the royal knights. However, he suddenly left, which caused them to ponder. Why would such a proficient knight in training quit like that? 

What’s Keith going to do? 

Inside Keith’s mind. What am I going to do? That was something that he was curious about as well. He was getting hit in the face with all kinds of powers. Even now, he was wondering what to do with it. How can I stop it as well?”

That was something that he was having a difficult time gauging. Even when he had a chance to do it, he got attacked.

Wait a moment…That’s it!

There was something he was going to be here! There was a glimmer of hope!
