Chapter 150: Chapter 147 - Second Phase of the King's Game (2)

What Asterion summoned did not resemble a cursed spirit at all. Sadalmelik-Albus appeared as a human woman with blue skin and long hair made of water, undulating like the waves of the sea. Her generous bust was hidden by two white shells.

But unlike a normal human woman, instead of legs like any other person, she had a fish tail covered in blue scales, full of beauty and shine. In her hand, she held a golden trident. She looked like a sea goddess full of sacredness rather than a cursed spirit.

Sadalmelik was about ten meters tall, her enormous body resembling a masterpiece crafted by the gods. Her tail moved with surprisingly graceful motions, and a voice reminiscent of a siren's song hung in the air.

When Sadalmelik appeared, a large wave surged and quickly spread, dragging trees, stones, and anything else in its path, including the Spanish team members themselves.

Asterion stood on Sadalmelik's shoulder, looking at Ana with a calm gaze. He could feel the rapid consumption of magical energy; it was substantial, even though he controlled how much magical energy Sadalmelik could use.

Otherwise, if he hadn't controlled Sadalmelik when she was summoned with the strength of a Special Grade Warlock, the entire arena might have been submerged by now.

Ana couldn't help but be shocked. Even though Sadalmelik had only the strength of a Grade 2 Warlock, she was truly a Special Grade cursed spirit. Her presence was so shocking that it made the young Spaniard pale in the face of the malice and terror emanating from the being before her. Even with her beautiful and charming appearance, in Ana's eyes, Sadalmelik was no different from a beautiful but extremely terrifying monster.

Ana couldn't help but be shaken by the thought that Asterion Black might have dozens of other cursed spirits. She finally understood why everyone spoke to Asterion with such respect; the young man was the literal embodiment of the phrase "a one-man army."

Taking a deep breath, Ana pushed those distracting thoughts away and focused entirely on the moment. Seeing water everywhere she looked, she had to admit that Asterion had chosen the perfect cursed spirit to suppress her.

It should be noted that a Wizard or Witch does not gain total immunity by controlling a specific element.

Take Ana, for example. She might not suffer damage if she put her finger in an electrical socket, but if lightning struck her, it would be a completely different story. Although she wouldn't die and would survive, she would be severely injured.

Asterion was the same; although he could create a cursed spirit capable of healing him, he wouldn't dare to put something like that inside his body. The negative magical energy would definitely corrode his body from the inside out.

For this reason, Ana was apprehensive about using her innate technique in this water-filled environment. With a wave of Asterion's hand, he could turn Ana's power against her.

Pulling out her wand, Ana decided to test Asterion with some spells to determine his current strength. If he was exhausted from summoning such a powerful cursed spirit, she would attack with all her might; if not, she would retreat and conserve her strength for the second phase of the King's Game.

 

With a flick of her wrist, her wand traced a half-moon path, and in an instant, a column of water shot toward Asterion, taking the form of a serpent with its mouth wide open.

Asterion didn't even blink at the attack, and Sadalmelik raised her trident. The water serpent, instead of heading towards Asterion, changed direction and turned against its creator.

Meanwhile, dozens of other water serpents formed around and attacked Ana without hesitation.

Seeing this, Ana's expression changed dramatically as she leapt from branch to branch, dodging the dozens of water serpents. Her movements were graceful and skillful, and when she couldn't avoid an attack, she used Transfiguration to create a barrier, buying time to dodge another attack.

Suddenly, still in the air, jumping to another branch, a shiver ran down her spine. She tried to move, but she was still in the air with no foothold to change direction.

Looking up, she saw Asterion above her, his fist covered in a black gauntlet getting closer and closer to her face.

"You're not just fighting Sadalmelik," he said calmly as his fist struck her squarely in the face.

Boom!

Ana felt her brain shake violently. Even with the reinforcement magic on her body, she still felt intense pain. Her body flew downwards, landing heavily on the muddy ground.

Feeling the wet touch on her face, Ana breathed heavily but quickly got up the next second. She wiped the mud from her face with the back of her hand and looked at Asterion with sarcasm.

"You hit like a girl!"

"I can do this all day!" In a fighting stance, with somewhat unsteady steps, she looked at Asterion with determination.

Hearing her words, Asterion raised an eyebrow and looked at Ana strangely.

"You call that a provocation?" he asked in a strange tone. It was obvious she was trying to make him angry to create an opening, but Ana's choice of words wasn't the best. They only made him more amused than angry.

Ana's lips twisted awkwardly at his amused tone, and she spoke in an embarrassed voice. "I was raised by my grandmother. She taught me to be very polite."

"She's probably watching the tournament right now, and I don't want to hear a several-hour-long lecture when I get back," she finished with an extremely embarrassed tone.

"Puff!" Asterion couldn't hold back and let out a laugh. "Hahahaha~"

"What are you, a child who can't swear?" Wiping the tear from the corner of his eye, he asked playfully. He hadn't wanted to laugh, but the situation was too funny not to.

Ana felt even more embarrassed by his laughter. At that moment, she just wished the ground would open up and swallow her whole to escape the awkward situation.

As she was about to respond, a huge shadow appeared, covering her. She looked up and saw the cursed spirit arriving beside its master.

Letting out a heavy sigh, laden with exhaustion and a touch of relief, she knew she had lost. Ana truly didn't understand how a Grade 2 warlock could have so much magical energy. Even with the other side being suppressed to Grade 2, in a battle of attrition, she was the one who lost.

When Sadalmelik's trident was about to strike Ana, a shadow next to the tree rippled, and a person emerged from it, grabbed Ana, and submerged back into the shadows.

The whole process lasted only an instant, and it was only then that Asterion reacted.

His face turned extremely dark at that moment as he looked at the shadows and clenched his teeth.

He had let his guard down because he never took this fight seriously from the beginning. He never truly cared about Ana from start to finish; he was going to win, of that he had no doubt, which is why he didn't stay alert to his surroundings.

This allowed pests to hide in the shadows and successfully rescue Ana Rodrigues!

Looking at Sadalmelik, Asterion ordered coldly, "Flood this entire damn forest."

The cursed spirit obeyed its creator's orders and struck the ground with her trident, creating a wave with her at the center, spreading in all directions.

He wanted to see if the insect hiding in the shadows could travel as fast when there were no shadows in this forest.

The wave of water swept everything in its path, whether trees or stones, resembling an avalanche of destruction, obliterating everything in its way.

"Humph!" Seeing no sign of the insect reappearing, Asterion snorted coldly, wasted no more time, and returned to his team.

Chapter 151: Chapter 148 - Second Phase of the King's Game (3)

"Hahahah!!!!" Rose pointed at Asterion and said, still laughing, "You let an ant slip right under your nose!"

Hearing Rose's laughter, Asterion's already dark face became even darker. He clenched his teeth and vowed that when he found the warlock or witch with an innate shadow-related technique, he would make them suffer greatly before expelling them from the competition.

Luna also didn't care about Asterion's dark face and laughed playfully while petting Baskerville. Only Cedric didn't laugh at Asterion; instead, he gave him a friendly pat on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, Asterion. In the end, we'll find them all, and you can vent your frustrations," he said kindly with a gentle smile.

Seeing his friendly and close smile, Asterion looked at the young man strangely and spoke expressionlessly, "I don't like men, but don't worry, I don't care if you shove something up your butt."

"HAHAHAHAHA!!!!" Rose heard his words and couldn't help but burst into laughter. She held her stomach and laughed unscrupulously at Cedric's discomfort.

Cedric was embarrassed and quickly removed his hand from Asterion's shoulder, stammering nervously and incoherently, "I-I don't like m-men either!!!! I like women!!!"

Cedric's awkward appearance only increased suspicions about him at that moment.

Cedric looked at everyone and gradually fell silent. He crouched beside Luna and joined her in drawing something with an extremely dejected expression.

"You're mean," Rose commented beside Asterion, her smile very amused by the whole situation. "Don't worry, I'll defeat all the enemies you can't," she said confidently, subtly provoking Asterion.

"I don't need your help," Asterion replied coldly, looking at Rose before turning his gaze to the other team members.

"Let's head to the highest mountain; we'll start the second phase of the King's Game."

"Yes, Sir." Luna stood up and saluted like a soldier reporting to her superior.

"Yes, Sir~" Rose responded casually, her voice full of laziness and sleepiness.

"We're going to win and bring glory to Hogwarts!" Cedric said, returning to his cheerful and friendly demeanor, apparently the most enthusiastic at the moment.

Everyone smiled at Cedric's excitement; the young man seemed to be the soul of the team.

However, after being unexpectedly selected to participate in the tournament, only Asterion knew that Cedric wanted nothing more than the fame brought by the tournament.

For ordinary people, fame means just attention, but for powerful people, it is a legacy.

It might seem strange, but people tend to trust those who possess fame and prestige.

If there were two people side by side, one being a highly qualified professional and the other being a regular professional but very famous, who do you think people would trust more? The answer is clear: the regular professional, because fame has an almost supernatural glamour to people, making them seem almost like gods.

So, even if the other one is highly qualified, few would give him a chance because he is not as famous as the regular professional.

Asterion wanted this from the beginning; he had been building a good but powerful and wise image. Especially at this moment, when hundreds of thousands of witches and wizards were watching him.

If possible, Asterion wanted his fame to help his children in case he passed away. His fame would help Daphne and her descendants unite the country and keep them safe if something happened to him in the future.

After all, the God-creation plan orchestrated by his ancestors was, at the very least, insane. Asterion had no idea what he might create if he failed. At the very least, he estimated it would create a virtually invincible cursed spirit.

He had to leave some things to protect Daphne and her family. It wasn't that Asterion was pessimistic; he simply knew that this was the real world, and in the real world, things often don't go as one wants.

Asterion wanted to be prepared in case something went wrong with his plan. After all, he knew he had made numerous enemies by creating the Clock Tower, even though most smiled kindly at him in most cases. But he knew the murderous intentions hidden behind calm and gentle looks.

Holding Luna like a princess in his arms, Asterion looked at everyone and nodded. In the same second, everyone reinforced their bodies and ran towards the highest mountain.

Asterion, who carried Luna like a princess, was the fastest in the group and was in the lead to protect against any possible attacks. Rose was at the back, protecting their rear, with Cedric in the middle. It was the same strategy that wolves in a pack used to protect themselves while hunting and moving from place to place.

The four of them crossed high rocks, trees, and hills with almost supernatural ease. It was only when the sun began to set that the group stopped, but it wasn't because of Asterion or Rose; it was because of Cedric.

"Sorry," the young man said with an embarrassed expression as sweat covered his body. Using reinforcement magic for such a long time was extremely exhausting. There was less than 10% of magical energy left in the Hufflepuff's reserves. If he continued, he would simply collapse from exhaustion.

Placing Luna on the ground, Asterion shook his head and spoke calmly, "Don't worry, we're not in a hurry. Even if someone arrives before us, we'll just drive them away and start preparing the ground to protect Luna."

"Yes, don't worry about it," Rose said with a smile, patting Cedric on the shoulder.

Cedric looked grateful and remained silent, focusing on recovering his magical energy. Meanwhile, Asterion, Rose, and Luna made a campfire, around which they sat, eating the provisions given at the beginning of the first phase of the King's Game. The supplies would last three days if rationed.

 

"I hate jerky; it's too salty," Rose grumbled, very dissatisfied with the food as she swallowed a piece of jerky. She ate it out of necessity; otherwise, she would never touch something so salty.

"It's not that bad," Cedric commented after tasting it. He actually didn't find it too bad.

Luna remained silent, eating like a hamster and then swallowing without showing much reaction.

"You seem used to eating this, Luna," Rose asked curiously, seeing her expressionless face while eating.

"I used to spend days in the forest trying to find magical animals," Luna looked up and answered adorably as she swallowed her food.

Just as Rose was about to ask more, she smelled something pleasant in the air. She turned to Asterion and pursed her lips at the sight before her. It wasn't just her; Cedric and Luna also looked at Asterion with somewhat accusatory gazes.

Asterion was sipping a glass of wine while biting into a delicious piece of roasted chicken. Rose looked at the hard, dry jerky in her hand and then at the succulent roasted chicken in Asterion's hand. Her gaze grew increasingly dangerous at the disparity in their food.

"As-Te-Ri-On," Rose said each syllable with a tone full of accusation.

Seeing the eyes of his teammates, Asterion remained indifferent. He ate even faster, fearing someone would ask for a piece of his roasted chicken. When he finished, he tossed the bone into the fire, making the air even more fragrant.

Seeing Asterion's actions, Rose's eyes widened. She never imagined Asterion could be so stingy as to eat quickly and not leave any for her!

Even Luna looked at Asterion with a deadly gaze, although it seemed more adorable than threatening.

Under heavy pressure, Asterion reluctantly asked Baskerville to distribute the food and drank his wine in silence, apparently very upset about sharing his meal. Yet, for some reason, the atmosphere around the campfire was filled with laughter and teasing.
