Chapter 1134 The Demonic Swordsman
-----
(Less than a minute ago.)
BOOOM!
The mysterious blonde man crushed a quarter of the arena, killing dozens of bystanders in the process after unsheathing his sword only once. The enormous explosion caused a tremendous earthquake, making the rest of the audience, the judges, and the participants all panic.
"The fuck…?!"
Elena was the first to set eyes in the culprit, immediately standing back up as she saw the man sheathing his blade as he looked down at what was happening. It looked like Teressa had targeted his prey first.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"Elena! What's happening?!" Anna panicked, looking around. "We're getting some sort of terrorist attack? In here? I thought shit like that didn't happen in this place!"
"I thought so too but looks like there's a psycho that came back to get his ass beaten again," Elena said, furious. Her katana was quickly unsheathed, glowing with a beautiful pure black color.
"D-Dammit! This is a bit too much for me, I was so relaxed and out of nowhere, this happens!" Elisa was completely shocked. "Ahhh! What is that now?!"
Out of nowhere, the blonde man swung his blade again, breaking through space and opening cracks through them with his slashing blows.
Crack, crack…!
CRASH!
Several black and dark blue colored portals opened, gates leading to the Underworld where Undead Monsters started pouring out almost instantly.
"Gruoohhh…!"
"GROOAAR!"
"Shyaaah!"
Giant Skeleton Beasts, Zombie Knights, Undead Wyverns, and even what looked like a Bone Dragon were beginning to appear one after another.
The audience, running away, were suddenly found trapped inside the arena, within seconds, there was a giant black and dark red barrier surrounding it.
"Again with the damn Undead Gates?!" Elena roared furiously. "He's going to kill everyone; we have to take them down! Nieve, Acorn, are you ready to fight?!"
"We can fight, yes!" Acorn nodded. "Count us in!"
"I would rather go help my liege, but she seems to be handling things fine," said Nieve. "I'll take care of the Undead."
"Alright! I'll go after that asshole," said Elena. "Anna, Elisa, Monica, you stay and fight the Undead, please try to help the people! Mom's domain… Ah, it's here! Things should be easier now."
Suddenly, a flash of bright green and golden light surged, covering most of the Arena's floor, several plants, trees, flowers, and spirits started popping up one after another, covering the entire arena with a lush and green forest, making the people even more confused.

From the flowers and plants, spirits began to be born, not the tiny lesser spirits of before, Planta had evolved to the point fully-grown, divine spirits and dragon spirits appeared, by the dozens!
"Our master has called us for your protection! Remain close to us!"
The Elemental Spirits spoke words that the people could understand, the people were surprised, but it wasn't as if they had any other option than to hide behind these spiritual beings.
At the same time, the Draconic Spirits roared ferociously, charging against the hundreds of undead coming towards the people in a huge wave.
"Hell yeah! Mom got this! Did you thought they could fuck us all so easily?!"
Elena smiled, feeling proud of her mother, but at the same time, she knew there was no time to sit down and watch, even less when the blonde man swung his blade.
"Begone, trash."
SLAAASH!
A wave of darkness was unleashed from his blade, all the Draconic Spirits and Elemental Spirits within his vicinity were sliced apart and destroyed. His body exuded a miasmic, demonic aura, the plants around him began dying, burning with demonic flames.
"That guy can't be taken down normally, I'll go then!"
Elena rushed towards the man, unleashing several skills, and boosting her power through the roof. At the same time, Anna, Monica, and Elisa nodded to one another and Acorn and Nieve, as they dispersed, rushing to protect the innocent bystanders and slay the undead spreading everywhere.
"Teressa… It seems I'll have to put you aside; you're interfering with my prey."
The blonde man spoke with a dry and emotionless tone of voice, his crimson eyes fixated on Planta and nobody else, his black sword glowing with demonic light.
"My new blade is strong… And it's thirsting for some of her divine blood…" he spoke. "With this new power, I can beat her, surely… And then, my popularity will come back. Everything will go back to how it was- No, it'll be even better… Yes, I'll humiliate her… I'll tear her to shreds… I'll- Hm?"
His crimson eyes barely managed to notice Elena appearing right by his left side, her entire body covered on a veil of shadows and phantoms, helping her lower her presence to her limits. Her katana was swung down, as her Aura manifested, resembling a phantasmal Blue Oni wearing samurai armor, and swinging a gigantic Naginata downwards at the same time.
CRAAASH!
An enormous explosive strike reached the blonde man, his entire body being pushed down and then falling over the arena, creating countless cracks below the ground.
Yet he slowly stood back up, the cracks of his armor regenerating quickly, his sharp, emotionless face remaining unfazed, his crimson eyes glaring back at her with little interest.
"You've become stronger than before, Reaper…"
"And you've become even worse than before, Arthur."
The man's true name was said, and his expressionless face finally changed, twisting into a creepy smile filled with madness.
"Heh… So even with this new look you still can tell who I am, haha…" he laughed. "Move aside, I have business with your Guild Master, not you."
"And you think I'm going to let you get to her?" Elena asked. "What the hell happened to you? What with the new look? Are you on your goth phase now? Did you play too much Dark Souls or something?"
"Heh… Hahahah! Always with that sharp tongue of yours…" Arthur smiled, swinging his blade against Elena carelessly.
SLAAASH!
"Ungh?!"
Elena felt the sword's attack reach her within a split second, it felt as if it didn't even move through space! She moved barely in time, avoiding a lethal blow, but losing one of her legs in the process.
BOOOM!
An explosion of darkness erupted behind her, as her sharp red eyes glared at Arthur once more, her senses expanding.
And then, he appeared behind her, his blade coming down towards her head.
"Fine, let's settle down our rivalry once and for all…"
SLASH!
