"Oh? Still alive? Impressive." The demon who was using a disguise said as he kept on attempting to kill Jay by slicing him from his back.
"Only a weakling will die from your crappy skills." 'Jay' said as he switched out the greatsword he was wielding with Night Sky.
After doing so, 'Jay' did not hesitate any further and rushed towards the demon. But unlike the time during the Novice fights, Night Sky's blade suddenly glowed in a golden color and emitted an intense heat. It was so hot that even the spectators from the sides felt it.
...
"Ah! What the hell is this?" A spectator said as he suddenly felt as if he was getting cooked inside the steel armor he was wearing.
"Look! It's that kid again! What the f*ck does he have against us? At first we get punched in the balls, chopping someone's arm, stripping a nobleman, and now he wants to cook us alive? F*cking c*nt!"
...
"Well, it looks like I am now the most hated person in this city... *sigh" Jay said to himself while he observed the skill the Chicken Lord was using.
"Jay, this skill is a bit too much for you to learn right now in your current state. This skill is something I only managed to learn due to me having transcended into a Divine being." After this reminder of the Chicken Lord, he controlled Jay's body to hold Night Sky high up into the air with both arms, as if calling down something from the heavens.
'Godly Smite: Sword Form!'
Night Sky suddenly glowed even brighter and a huge dome of light enveloped a huge area around Jay and the demon. At the same time, a huge golden sword beam shot down from the sky and fell on the demon.
"What?! This kid is a transcendent? Sh*t!" Knowing the consequences of getting hit by the full force of this sword skill unleashed by 'Jay', the demon unleashed his real form and ran away as fast as he can.
The demon moved through the shadows so that his real form won't be revealed to the spectators since it might lead to even more problems if everyone finds out.
Just as the demon thought he was safe...
"HOLD IT!"
A deep and majestic voice boomed through the air. The voice even contained a very intense killing intent with it and caused almost everyone within the arena to shiver and drop to their knees. The spectators, participants, nobles, the prince, and even Jay shivered.
Everyone saw an old man with a blindfold in gray robes floating in the sky. While everyone was wondering who it is, Jay had a serious look on his face as he thought to himself, "Lord Tygon? He was not supposed to reveal himself yet. It's too early!" Jay thought to himself as he remembered what was supposed to happen to Lord Tygon.
...
During the time Jay was still a normal player, during the First Great War...
--- Death Skull Valley ---
In this place surrounded by two enormous white colored mountains that looked like a skull of a giant beast, there was only chaos within.
The usual purple shade of the plants and grass in the area were all dyed in red due to the blood of fallen soldiers from Wildergreene and Holtheim. The only ones who remained were a few lucky players like Jay and Hot Buns, and in front of them were the three leaders from the different kingdoms. Queen Auburn of Wildergreene, King Arturus of Holtheim, and Queen Aisleen. At this point in time, since no one discovered the hidden legendary quest from Barton, Barton was nowhere to be found on this battlefield.
"Traitorous b*tch! How dare you poison my people!" King Arturus shouted furiously at Aisleen as he held two gigantic cannons on each of his arms. He had a red, short, and spiky hair. He was wearing a jet black armor set of unidentified quality. He was also carrying the banner of Holtheim on his back.
"I should have listened to Frederick. Sadly though, you just dug your own grave. Let me show you why I am called the Queen of Wildergreene!" Queen Auburn shouted as she tossed her teddy bear towards Arturus and Aisleen.
ROAR!!!
The teddy bear suddenly turned into a gigantic monstrosity. It obviously looked like a bear. It had purple fur, an X shaped scar on its forehead, and was emitting a very powerful aura that caused Jay and Hot Buns who were watching from the sides shiver from a terrifying coldness they haven't felt before.
"Petty tricks." Aisleen said softly as she used a satanic tiered spell.
'Black Sacrament'
Shadows from the ground started to grow and shake abnormally. And as Auburn and Arturus' shadows shook, they felt as if their souls will dissipate if this goes on.
"The f*ck is this?" Arturus cursed as he fired both of his cannons at Aisleen.
Aisleen dodged it easily and suddenly appeared in the sky, floating above them while laughing.
"Hahaha!!! Idiots." Just as she was laughing, someone suddenly communicated with her through unknown means and she suddenly laughed even harder and said, "Sad. So sad. You sent all of your soldiers here to die and left your people unprotected. I wonder if my people filled their bellies yet? Hahaha!!!"
Then suddenly, a gigantic fist that was made out of air punched Aisleen at her back. She was caught off guard and was sent crashing down to the ground.
"You dare kill the people under my watch? You afraid of living?"
An old man suddenly appeared in front of Auburn and Arturus. It was Lord Tygon. But during this time, he was not wearing a blindfold or a gray robe, but rather, was wearing a silver leather armor set of unknown quality. He was also wearing a black cloak that mad him even more terrifying.
As for his eyes, it looked exactly the same as that time when he observed Jay dealing with the Thundergod.
That was the first time Tygon was supposed to appear in public and get known afterwards when Queen Auburn and King Arturus retreated and told of his existence to the public.
...
Back to the present...
The moment the demon hear the shout, he knew things are getting more and more worse and decided to move even faster. But suddenly, he felt something pulling him out from the shadows.
"What?! Impossible!" The demon panicked since he knew that only a few people can do this trick of pulling someone out of the shadows. These people were usually tier 9 thieves or assassins. As for Divine beings, the demon shuddered at that thought and knew his actions was not that eye catching. He also knew that most of the Divine beings in the Fatelord Plane were wiped out by his race just a month ago.
The moment he got pulled up and resurfaced, everyone saw his horrendous appearance. He looked similar to a human's figure, the only difference were his feet, hands, head, and tail.
He had hooves for his feet, claws on his hands, the head of a goat with a white short beard, and a tentacle like hair and tail that was black in color.
"Aaaaaahhh!!! Demon!!!" A shrill voice from a random lady was heard as the demon was revealed to everyone.
"Since it came down to this, I have no choice. (Why don't I drag down that pig who caused all of this?)" The demon thought as he felt ominous stares from the participants who were itching to kill him.
"Hahaha!!! So what if you kill me? Sooner or later, our race will kill every last one of you pathetic scum! Hahaha!!!" After shouting this he looked at Forbes who was watching him carefully at the huge tree.
"Forbes! How great of you to hire me to kill the participants and the prince. You even gave me this bag of gold crystals." The demon shouted as he took out the small bag Forbes gave him earlier.
...
"What?! You colluded with a demon? Men, seize him!" Prince Frederick acted quick and ordered his men to capture Forbes who had a questioning look on his face.
"No, I didn't do it! My prince, you actually believe the words coming out if that demon's mouth?" Forbes tried to persuade Prince Frederick. Sadly though, it was of no avail.
"Take him to the Graycastle and let my mother deal with him. As for that demon..."
Prince Frederick suddenly jumped high into the air and shouted furiously.
"KILL IT! MEN, FOLLOW ME!"
...
Seeing thousands of people trying to kill him, the demon knew it was the end of the line and glanced at Tygon who was floating high above the air.
"Kukuku... So you're the first king's bastard... I hope you prepare yourself..." After that last thought, he suddenly used a spell to blow himself up together with the rest of the people near him.
"Trying to commit suicide in front of me? Dream on!" Tygon shouted as he controlled the wind and pushed everyone, including Jay, away from the demon. After doing that, he immediately used the same skill 'Jay' used before, Godly Smite. But his version of Godly Smite was a bit weaker and did not have a golden color to it. It was only a single beam of white light shaped like a sword that fell down on top of the demon.
Unlike before when the demon dodged the full brunt of the skill, this time, he received the full damage from Godly Smite and slowly turned into dust.
...
"Jay, are you alright?" Lord Tygon asked as he descended down from the sky and walked up to Jay.
"I guess so. Besides the wound I got from getting slashed at the back, everything else is fine." Jay said while he was having multiple questions about what was going to happen now since Tygon revealed himself already to the public.
"I see. Then I will take my leave now." Tygon was about to leave but he was suddenly approached by Prince Frederick.
"Elder, sorry for the trouble we've caused. May I invite you at the Golden Fortress for some wine?"
Lord Tygon knew it was probably the prince's attempt to talk to him about this matter so he agreed since talking about this matter in public was stupid.
"Everyone, sorry for all of this. The tournament is on hold while we investigate everything we can about the demon and how it got here in the first place." Lord Marvin said to ease the crowd since he knew things are really not going well right now.
Some complained, some accepted it, and some just shrugged it off. As for Jay, he was worried of another matter.
"Will the queen imprison me then? Or will she wait for the tournament to continue?"
After thinking of this, as Jay saw the crowd dispersing, he followed them and decided to get back to the Graycastle to ask if Auriel is done with the task regarding the guild emblems since he had nothing to do right now.
