Chapter 201 – Surprise Attack
The match continued without any problem after Sairaorg was transported to the Medical room. The arena was fixed by devils and fallen angels with their miraculous magic that could build a mansion in a night. It was such a fast fix, to the point I wanted to learn their magic, however, it was impossible for me.
It continued with Crom Cruach’s match against Vali. Not much to say about the match except that it was a match between two monsters.
They had grown stronger from before, like Tsuchigumo, and almost destroyed Tobio’s barrier. Fortunately, Susanoo managed to fix the barrier in time, and the match could be continued. However, Tobio couldn’t become the referee for such a match as his level was similar to theirs, not higher, so he stepped down, and I became the substitute referee… again.
As much as I only wanted to watch the match from the commentator seat, I had already become the substitute referee when Tobio had his match in the first round, so I was chosen again as a default, which was suck.
The match continued for a few minutes as both sides didn’t want to take it the hard way. They were punching at each other while using their magical energy. Vali sometimes divided Crom Cruach’s strength, but he looked like he was not affected by it. It seemed like his regeneration managed to outlast the damage that Vali had done to him.
In short, it was a match between two wild dragons in a human form.
‘They are too crazy.’
I only watched the duel from the side of the arena while leaning my back against the wall. I was too lazy to watch the match, as it was boring.
They only punched at each other without any variety of strength. It became boring after watching what Tsuchigumo did earlier.
Finally, after ten minutes, Crom Cruach let out a wild roar and concentrated his energy in his right fist.
“ROOAAAARRR!!”
Vali didn’t want to lose as his crystal wing let out a bright light and concentrated the energy that he stole into his hand too.
Both fighters jumped back, getting ready to end the fight with their last punch.
“It’s been fun, Crom Cruach!”
“Hahahaha, it’s been fun for me too, Hakuryuukou!”
At the end of their conversation, both of them launched themselves and met in the middle of the arena; their fists met with each other, creating a wave of a shockwave that was even stronger compared to what Tsuchigumo had created in the previous match.
They were gritting their teeth, trying to overpower each side. However, before they managed to finish their fight, I felt a tremendous amount of energy appear outside the barrier. There were many of them, and it seemed like the gods noticed it as I caught sight of Odin standing up and shouting.
“Lokii!!!!!!”
The spectators were surprised. It even made Crom Cruach and Vali break their exchange and jump backward.
“What happened?” Vali asked me, clearly irritated that his match was interrupted.
“Yeah, what the fuck happens for that old man to shout like that?!” Added Crom Cruach.
The gods in the spectators' seats began to stand up one by one, except for Shiva, who gazed at the sky with an amused smile.
“It’s something that I am waiting for,” I called Nenekirimaru in my hand and surrounded myself with Fear. This was the last war; the remnant of the Khaos Brigade had arrived as planned.
No one knew this plan, as I only told Azazel and Michael about it. Not even Sirzechs knew about it. He knew about the plan to attack the remnant of the Khaos Brigade, but he didn’t know I had expected the remnant to attack us after the peace conference.
Now they were here, with gods among their members. Even the death aura that a certain god had was right outside the barrier. They could find this place because I didn’t even add my Fear to the barrier.
There were two satans here, Sirzechs and Ajuka, who was now in a different dimension to control the barrier. There were also gods such as Odin, Susanoo, and Shiva.
The strongest fighters from four factions were also here. The ones in the medical room had also recovered with Phoenix Tears; they were ready to fight once again. I had sent Shirone, Kuroka, and Tsura to call Serafall, Amaterasu, and my old man, respectively; they should be here at any moment now.
“Azazel!” I shouted at the commentator seat, and he nodded his head as affirmation.
“Don’t panic, everyone!” He shouted. “I believe all of you have been briefed by your leaders! The original plan was to destroy the remnant of the Khaos Brigade after we finished the friendly competition. However! It seems like they have decided to attack us at this place!”
The unrest began to spread among the people from three factions. The youkai was always ready for war, so they were not panicked at the news. Instead, the members of my Hyakki Yakkou began to wear a blue Haori that they brought to the arena with wild smiles on their faces. They were laughing happily as if they knew no fear like a youkai should.
“It’s a war, guys!” Shouted Aotabo.
“Squad one to three will follow me. The rest will follow Aotabo!” Added Kurotabo.
“Kyoto Youkai will follow Kyokotsu and me! No one is allowed to die without taking an enemy with them!” Commanded Hagoromo Gitsune as she jumped on top of Gasadokuro’s head.
Azazel flew to the fallen angels' side, while Michael and Sirzechs went to their factions' side. They began to instruct them to get ready for a fight.
Odin clenched his fist as he ordered Rossweisse to get his weapon. He didn’t bring his Gungnir, which was his mistake. Rossweisse quickly made a telepathic call to get Gungnir delivered.
Meanwhile, Vali and Crom Cruach nodded at each other before looking at the sky. I knew what they were thinking, so I stopped them before they even did it.
“Don’t destroy it yet.” My tone was cold as the purple flame began to dance around me; it was Incinerate Anthem. “Wait a minute. Then I will let you fight the strongest people out there.”
