"So tell me, Eyvor, who do you think will win?" Asked Edvin with a light smile while sitting next to Eyvor.
"Prince Elif will win, Edvin. Don't forget he is a descendant of an Immortal Hegemony; those three will not be enough to defeat him." Replied Eyvor indifferently as she side-glanced Edvin before focusing back on the battle.
"You sound very confident that he will win, Eyvor; however, I, on the other hand, believe Prince Elif will lose, even if he is from an Immortal Hegemony fighting against three talented cultivators, with each being a major realm superior in cultivation is very difficult. Neither I nor you could achieve such a feat." Stated Edvin with a frown as he observed the ongoing battle.
"You're correct but also wrong, Edvin; neither one of us could achieve such a feat; however, you need to stop comparing descendants of a Divine Hegemony to an Immortal Hegemony; they're in completely different leagues." Advised Eyvor while remembering when she visited the Elven Empire and saw how easily Elif defeated Birger.
"While descendants from an Immortal Hegemony may be stronger than descendants from a Divine Hegemony, I think you're overestimating them; they're only slightly stronger, and a few decently talented and powerful cultivators could easily defeat them." Replied Edvin as he eyed Eyvor, feeling quite angry at how highly she thought of Elif, though his focus quickly shifted when he heard a chuckle from nearby.
"Do you find my words amusing, servant?" Questioned Edvin angrily while emphasizing servant as he eyed the chuckling Marley.
"Haha, yes, your statement was quite funny. What was the quote His Highness used? Ahh, it was 'Ignorance is bliss'." Replied Marley as she fearlessly eyed Edvin while mocking him, much to his anger.
"Not only do you laugh at me, but you call me ignorant! You have a lot of audacity for a mere servant." Said Edvin angrily as he coldly eyed Marley.
"I may be a servant, but I'm not your servant; I have no reason to fear you as your words hold no weight over me; I only obey His Highness. Speaking of His Highness, while I can't account for the descendants of other Immortal Hegemonies, His Highness is far more talented, stronger, and capable than you could ever hope to be. To call him only slightly stronger than someone as weak as you is incredibly disrespectful, and as His Highness's follower, I will not just idly stand by while some fool disrespects him." Stated Marley as she eyed Edvin with slight anger and disdain while not only mocking him but also looking down on him, which only served to intensify his rage; as much as he wanted to, he didn't make a move; however, her next set of words sent Edvin over the edge.
'Not to mention, His Highness had managed to steal away your precious Eyvor so easily. I bet if he asked, your precious Eyvor would gladly open her legs and allow him to embrace her.' Said Marley via divine sense while smirking as she made a hole with one hand and used a finger to constantly enter and exit it, simulating sex with her hands.
"Don't think just because you're the follower of Prince Elif that I won't discipline you myself!" Exclaimed Edvin angrily as he stood up and attempted to pressure her; however, his expression turned slightly ugly when he realized he didn't affect Marley.
"Then come and discipline me!" Replied Marley defiantly with a smirk as she also stood up and pressured him, though just like Edvin, it didn't affect him.
As they weren't concealing anything, their sudden action brought a lot of attention to them; however, luckily or unluckily, before things could get out of hand, two people stepped in and quelled the quarrel.
"Marley, calm down; remember what His Highness said." Said Idonea calmly as she put a hand atop her shoulder, and although she was speaking to Marley, her eyes never once left the figure of Edvin.
"Edvin! Not once, not twice, but THREE times, you've stepped out of line and embarrassed me! I don't care what type of reputation I'll receive, but if you step out of line for a fourth time, I swear on the name of the Great Mother, I'll put you in a coma until my birthday ends!" Exclaimed Eyvor angrily as she stared at Edvin coldly, and as much as she wanted to put him in a coma right this instance, she had an image and reputation to uphold as the heir.
"Tch, you're lucky, Edvin." Said Marley with a frown as she sat down but not before simulating sex with her hands again.
Edvin didn't say anything and just coldly eyed Marley before flying to the other side of the stadium and sitting down.
"Haa, hopefully, it'll be peaceful with him gone." Muttered Eyvor as she shook her head before sitting down and focusing back on the battle.
"That is quite sadistic of you, Marley." Whispered Idonea, as a slight smirk adorned her face.
"Hehe, well, His Highness has mentioned that I'm a little bit of a sadist, and when I look back on my past actions, he's not necessarily wrong." Replied Marley quietly with a chuckle before she and Idonea focused on the battle.

"Hmm, what's going on over there?" Asked Elif curiously as he observed the scene of Edvin and Marley about to battle it out.
"Don't you think you have something more important to worry about, Prince Elif!?" Questioned one of the Fairies as he appeared behind Elif and attacked him.
"I don't believe so, though I suppose it could be possible that I'm forgetting something." Replied Elif with a tilt of his head as he vanished from his spot and destroyed an attack coming from a different Fairy with his purple palm, all while fanning himself with his quạt tay.
"I don't mean to be rude, but if this is all you three got, I'm greatly disappointed. This could hardly be called a warm-up; there isn't even a bead of sweat on my perfectly defined abs." Added Elif as he slightly leaned back to accentuate his abs, causing many women in the audience to swoon at such a display; not even the elders were immune from Elif's charm.
"What are you doing, just standing there!? Attack him!" Yelled the leader when he saw the female Fairy blankly staring at Elif.
"I-I was!" Replied the woman in anger and a slightly blushed face as she launched several attacks at Elif.
'Dammit! We've been attacking him for at least a full minute, yet, we aren't even close to touching him, not to mention he is hardly fighting back. Guys, we're going to have to use it. Do the two of you got it?' Remarked the leader via divine sense while attacking Elif alongside another Fairy, though their attacks were all easily swatted away by Elif as he coated his quạt tay with his Qi.
'Ugh, yes, It's ready.'
'I got mine too.'
'Alright then, activate it on the count of three! One. Two… Three!' Declared the leader via divine sense as he and the two other Fairies suddenly appeared in a triangle formation before Elif.
"Ho, a battle formation; this might actually manage to amuse me." Muttered Elif with a slight smirk as he watched the three Fairies combine their Qi and create a large Fairy avatar that radiated the power of a middle Divine King.
"Now then, let us show you the might of us Fairies, Prince Elif!" Announced the leader as he punched at Elif while the Fairy avatar seemed to copy his every move.
Seeing the incoming punch from the Fairy avatar, I opted to evade the attack as I wished to learn more about the formation before destroying the avatar.
'The formation not only managed to combine their power but also multiply it. Quite useful; however, if utilized by weaklings, it won't mean much.' Thought Elif as he moved slightly to the left and watched the arm punch where he was previously standing.
'Now then, its attack power is quite decent; however, let's test its defensive capabilities.' Thought Elif as he reached his arm forward and pointed his index finger at the extended arm of the Fairy avatar.
"Gyakusatsu." Muttered Elif as he began gathering a significant amount of Qi at the tip of his index finger before releasing it as a dense purple beam that swiftly reached and pierced the Fairy avatars arm; even after attacking, the purple beam still contained enough power to continue traveling far off into the distance.
"Ugh!" Grunted the three Fairies simultaneously as the leader retracted his arm, to which the Fairy avatar did the same.
'Its defense isn't bad; however, it could be better.' Pondered Elif as he eyed the burning hole in the Avatar's arm.
Gyakusatsu- A technique used by the now-extinct Fire Demon; the creator, Sizzle, was a talented mutated Fire Demon born in the Flourishing Epoch. After many years of ruling over all Demon kind, the Fire Demons were eventually overthrown by the combined forces of many different demons. Yet, even though they lost, Sizzle had managed to kill many people, including the leaders of the rebellion, with his Gyakusatsu, a technique feared and coveted by all Demon kind, before eventually dying. However, the Gyakusatsu, while an easy technique to learn compared to its peers, had one, yet very essential requirement to learn it. One must have a massive Qi reserve, and that was something very few species had; no other demon variants had Qi reserves on the level of a Fire Demon, let alone the mutated Sizzle. Because of the severe restrictions this technique has, it's classified as middle-Immortal, though when properly used, its power is on par with a high-Immortal technique, an offensive technique.
"Alright, I think that's enough for now. I'm starting to get bored, and Eyvor still has a tour to give." Announced Elif as he indifferently eyed the three Fairies.

"Gyakusatsu" translates to "Slaughter" in English.
