Chapter 520: How the First Match of the Tournament Ended

I think I did a cruel thing to let someone live after cutting her tongue. So, I grabbed the two modified vampires and told them that they can drink her blood dry.

“Okay, that’s enough. She no longer has even a drop of blood left in her body. Thank you for your hard work,” I said to the two vampires.

Both of them are males, and although they are just Vampire Lords, they are strong enough to be at the level of Vampire Marquises. It’s all thanks to the experiment.

If they could level up to the Vampire Duke level, it’s possible that they might be as strong as Arin in the future. Though what I’m worried about is that if they get to enjoy their strength long after they were freed from the cult, they might run wild. Not just these two vampires, but also many other modified monsters as well. Including Gecko.

I need to think of a way to get rid of them.

“Hmm... this is delicious! But it doesn’t taste as good as the blood we drunk in the cave yesterday,” one of the vampires said.

“What you drank yesterday was my blood. And I will never give them to anyone other than for special events or emergency. If you think of killing me and forcefully drink my blood, I will kill you without mercy. It’s something that the other vampires have understood. You need to achieve something great if you want to drink my blood. I’ll tell you this, even the Vampire Queen rarely get a sip of my blood. So, don’t even think of drinking my blood unless you have achieved something great. You already know my strength, but if you somehow managed to kill me, you will never be able to have a peaceful life. Everyone here is following me,” I said to the vampires who looked at me with the desire to get my blood.

.....

After I threatened them, they quieted down.

“Umm... if we’re done here, I will return. Thank you for letting us drink her blood,” one of the vampires said as he grabbed the other and left the area we’re in.

As expected, getting monsters to follow us is difficult. Maybe I should let Arin charm all the male monsters so they won’t think of betraying us. I’ll ask her later.

Now, the only thing we can do is to rest and wait for the next wave of the enemies. We didn’t have enough manpower to send scouts to find the enemy’s base.

The goal to destroy the cult is still far from reach. Just how good are they in hiding? They are the world’s greatest champion in hide n seek.

I’m also feeling fatigued. I think I need some rest as well. I’ll ask Elsie to keep watch.

Wait, what!? Just as I found Elsie in the corner of my eyes, she disappeared! Along with Sunny!

The only reason for that os because Lina is summoning them. Just what happened in the capital that needed her to summon the two of them?

I’ll just wait for now. Sonia will surely appear soon, and I can ask her what happened. For now, I’ll leave it to the werewolves to keep watch. With their sense of smell, they should be able to sense it by the smell if someone is approaching.

I look for Shelia to give her the order, but it seems like I don’t need to do it as she’s already wary of it.

“Shelia, I want you and the werewolves to keep watch of the surrounding area. Seems like something happened in the capital and Lina is summoning her two monsters,” I said to Shelia.

“No problem. We have been keeping watch whether that eyeball is watching or not,” Shelia said.

“Good. Also, don’t think too much about Graham’s strength. You are not weaker than him. He’s just more resourceful. He has his magic. I guess the biggest difference between you two is how Graham is more technical while you’re fighting with your instinct,” I said to Shelia.

“...Does it mean I need to learn more about fighting techniques to be able to surpass him?” Shelia asked.

“Hmm... I think you should do what you think will make you stronger. Although different, you’re similar to Angela. You need to find your own way to get stronger. If you think it’s a good idea to learn fighting techniques, then go and learn some. If you think brute force is the answer, all you need is to gain more strength. That’s all I can tell you. Though if you want to spar, I will help you. But not now,” I said.

“...That’s right! We’re werewolves! We love battle and will keep on fighting even if the enemy is stronger! We move with our instinct! Thank you for reminding me about it. I will keep growing stronger and make you proud of me!”

And just like that, she disappears somewhere to train. I’d like to remind her that she shouldn’t get herself exhausted while we’re at war though.

I have three contracted monsters. The first is too weird as she came from another world. The second is a muscle brain. And the third one is an avenger. If I could reach another level in my summoning element, I doubt the next monster I will have will be anything normal.

Just as I was thinking of that, Sonia appears as expected.

“Roy, Albert has something to inform,” Sonia said.

“Before that, just tell me if everything is okay over there. I just saw Sunny and Elsie got summoned.”

“Everything is fine. Albert just asked Lina if she could get Elsie to watch the surrounding. He asked me to check on Elsie before, but you had a big battle here, right? And when I return here again the second time and see everything is fine, I went back and told Lina to summon Elsie and Sunny. It’s just a checkup on the surrounding. You can get them back here later after they’re done over there.”

“I don’t think there will be another battle today, so they can rest with Lina if they want to. Anyway, tell me the situation over there.”

Sonia then told me the situation.

The opening ceremony ended well. Everyone was excited with how things are going. And the first battle was a team battle, between Tatrama and Varadis.

With Kayla as the leader, it was an easy victory for Tatrama. Angela didn’t participate since they thought it would be best to save her for individual battle after the team battle is over.

They easily defeated the team from Varadis which was led by an expert level mage under Julia’s teaching. It’s obvious since we have more expert level mages than Varadis. Though Shelia said that there are two more expert level mages other than Julia from Varadis who will participate in the individual battle.

The expert level mage from Varadis whonlost today, won’t participate in the individual battle. So, I can bring him along with some of his teammate to come here.

It’s just one expert level mage, but it’s much better than when we had none.

“That’s good. Tell them to rest for tonight and I will bring them here tomorrow. They already have a Blobby with them, right?” I asked.

“Yes. Henry gave them after they lost,” Sonia replied.

“How’s the reaction of the fake king?” I asked

“Albert told me that he’s faking his excitement. He’s acting like the real Harold who loves exciting stuffs, but Albert can tell that it was a lie.” Sonia replied.

“Is that so? Anyway, anything else?”

Sonia told me the schedule for the tournament. For today and tomorrow, it will be the team battle. Which mean, tomorrow will be the team from Consenza, against the team from Arturo. And if the team from Consenza loses tomorrow, I might be able to get one more expert level mage.

After a day of rest, the day after that will be the final of the team battle. But the tournament is not over yet.

The day after the crowning of the strongest in team battle, there will be individual battle. And unlike the tournament in Melk, everyone have to fight. It will be set like a real tournament, and the participant won’t be representing the country they were from. But instead, they will represent themselves.

It means that it’s possible for Angela to fight Kayla in this individual battle. It was set to be this way so there’s a possibility of participants from Arturo to fight among themselves.

In one day, there will only be two battle at most. There won’t be more. Though if they can arrange for another tournament in the future, they won’t make it so boring like this.

“...In any case, I won’t be able to go there myself to cheer for the girls. Well, I have prepared that it will happen.”

I’m not interested in watching the tournament. I just want to cheer for the people I know. Well, if we win the war, we can get another tournament in the future.
