"Did you hear? Someone entered the tournament and accepted the challenge," A man said as he enjoyed his beer with his friends on a patio in front of the pub.
"Really? When was it the last time there was someone crazy enough to enter the tournament?" The friend asked. "Was it two months ago?"
"Yeah, anyway. We should go there right now, people are going to watch," The man replied.
Lucifer was enjoying his drink as he smoked his cigarette and looked at them hurriedly running to the arena. The news spread like a hurricane. Everyone knew about it already and they all went to the arena to see it.
Listening to people talking about it made Lucifer decide to go and check it out even though he knew the outcome already. When he arrived at the arena, he was quite surprised that people were waiting in line to enter the arena to watch.
The tournament hadn't started yet since it took a few hours to prepare. The demon servant wanted to bring as many people as he could to enliven the event. The more people watched the tournament, the stronger he became, and that also applied to Hemios.
After waiting for half an hour, Lucifer managed to get a seat in the spectator seats with at least four hundred people. He then heard people around him saying there were more people who entered the tournament, a dozen of them.
Mykel was waiting in the waiting room on his own, but then he heard a commotion coming from the outside of the room. He glanced and watched as a dozen Awakeners entered the waiting room, and they all immediately stopped talking to look at him.
"So you're the one who's crazy enough to enter," A man in newly made armor said.
Mykel looked at their armor and weapons and realized they were prepared for everything for the tournament. Unfortunately, those newly made armors were going to be useless in the fight knowing how low their skills level were.
"And looks like I'm not the only one," Mykel replied as he put a cigarette in his mouth and lit it up.
All of them chuckled and nodded their heads. Not a single one of them showed any fear on their faces. They were determined to fight even if it meant death.
They all looked at the notification of the tournament that was about to start. Mykel then heard the sound of the gun being loaded. He looked at each one of them had a pistol ready to use since they had to fight dozens of opponents.
"Good luck out there," The man said to Mykel, and then left to the arena with his friends.
Mykel didn't say anything and let them be, and then he felt the ceiling shaking since above him was where the arena. He heard people cheering and the sound of trumpets enlivening the tournament.
He decided to go into the arena since he was the last person that entered the arena. He looked at hundreds of people cheering for them, but among those people, there were demons disguising themselves as humans. Mykel could sense how many of the demons were in the spectators' seats thanks to his [Infernakinesis] skill.
"Are you going to fight empty-handed? In a suit?" The man asked.
"This is my comfortable wear," Mykel answered as he puffed the smoke. "Don't worry about me, worry about yourself," Mykel continued.
The trumpets sounded again, and this time the gladiators came into the arena. They were Awakeners from the Certic World that got captured, and they were strong Awakeners compared to those that were with Mykel.
"Nobody knows what's the demon servant looks like, but these people are humans, right? Why would they fight for the demons?" The man asked.
"Enslaved, brainwashed, you name it. Even if they're not, they have no other option but to live or die by the demon's hand. They have no choice," Mykel answered. "I'll stay back for now," Mykel casually walked to the back.
"Hey, don't tell me you got scared after looking at our opponents," One of them said as the others looked at Mykel with confused looks.
"It's quite the opposite. I could kill all of them easily, but then you guys are going to kill each other. If that's what you want, then be my guess since the demon servant won't show up until there's only one standing," Mykel answered and stared at them with a sharp gaze.
They all looked at each other, and even if they knew they would die, they would rather not kill each other.
The bell rang and the gladiators started to charge at them without hesitation. The Awakeners grabbed their guns and started showering them with bullets.
It was effective and exploded those gladiators' heads into pieces until they emptied their magazines. After reloading three times and killing almost a hundred of them, they were satisfied with the result, but unfortunately, they ran out of ammo. Although they managed to kill a lot of them, there were still hundreds of them left. They were prepared for close combat and drew their weapons, but once they noticed how far they were compared to the gladiator's strength, it was over.
They all died in less than a minute and Mykel was the only one left. The spectators who cheered for them immediately went silent and lost hope.
"Well, they have already lost hope and knew it would be impossible," Mykel said to himself as he tightened his gloves.
The gladiators ran toward Mykel who was at the edge of the arena, and there was no way to run. One of the gladiators was right in front of him and was ready to swing his axe at him, but Mykel dashed forward and threw a crescent kick. The gladiator's head was crushed and when the body hit the ground it exploded.
Everyone was surprised and shocked by how powerful Mykel's kick was even though he didn't even put any strength on his heel. He then threw a spin kick and crushed four gladiators' bodies with his heel.
Mykel used punches and kicks to slaughter the gladiators without letting a single bloodstain on his suit. All the gladiators died as Mykel hadn't moved where he stood. Suddenly a notification appeared in front of the Awakeners and the demon servant walked up to the arena.
The demon servant was wearing a robe and a black mask to cover his face with his horn above his forehead. His body was as tall as Mykel's, and he was holding double-edged daggers in each hand.
Before the demon servant could do anything, his body slowly was being crushed and turned into a tiny ball with his blood covering the arena. Everyone was speechless, and even the demons were shocked by it. Then, a notification appeared that they were able to move to the next area and everyone was cheering for him.
"Since their master is dead, it's time for the real trouble," Mykel said as he closed the notification.
The demons that disguised themselves in human forms, they tore their skins apart and showed their true self. The demons started to scream and grow and started to attack the spectators who were still cheering for him.
Those Awakeners were surprised, but they all immediately drew their weapons and started fighting the demon. The arena was the only place that was covered in blood, but now the whole building was covered in demon's and human's blood.
The demons weren't dumb enough to attack Mykel after knowing he had killed the demon servant so easily. He didn't bother to help those people and left the arena with Lucifer, but then he saw the peaceful city turn into chaos the moment the demon servant died.
Knowing the demon servant had died, all the Awakeners immediately came to the city and defeated the demons. Mykel watched the city burn and he decided to use [Infernakinesis] and he killed all the demons in the city with just a snap of his finger.
Everyone was so confused that all the demons in the city suddenly collapsed. Mykel and Lucifer decided to go to the capital city of Certic which was far away that would take a day of riding a horse.
"Mister!" A familiar voice was shouting at Mykel.
Mykel turned around and saw the pink-haired woman from earlier, and there were more people behind her.
"Can we tag along?" The woman asked as she rode her horse next to Mykel.
"Do as you please," Mykel answered.
