“The first one is ... of the Kavizen Theocratic Empire,” Hazura spoke while staring at the others. “I got word that they already performed the Hero Resurrection ritual yesterday morning.”
“Maybe there are some of you who don't know yet. From the information I heard, the Heroic Resurrection ritual is an agenda that is carried out every few decades by the Kavizen Theocratic Empire. 6 Young heroes recruited by Theocracy will be used as weapons of war against other kingdoms, especially Devils.”.
“Does it have anything to do with our emergence?” ask Medusa.
“Small probability, yes. Most likely, no. It was time for them to perform the ritual. And the impact on us is very bad. They, the 6 Heroes, gain strength and blessings from the Gods of their beliefs they profess and worship, and are very effective against Devils and monsters,” explained Hazura.
“Until our Master orders us, I want us to have already moved ourselves to lighten the load. Increase production of weapons and food, and strengthen troops and dungeons. Ygir, what about the production of magic potion?”
“Magic banquet?” others wonder.
Ygir stood up and said, “True. I recently did some research to create a magic potion. Although only managed one, but I feel it is already a very meaningful progress.”
After saying that, he clapped his hands a few times. One Wraith in. It was Hex, the Wraith Magic Caster. He was carrying a small glass bottle in the shape of a tube. Inside was a kind of reddish-colored liquid.
“I intend to show it off as soon as you return later. But, it seems like I need input from you guys first. How?”
All of them shrouded Hex who was carrying the glass bottle.
“Hmm. What is the effect of this magic potion?” tanya Garnamtiar the Orc.
“Anger,” Medusa replied. “Increase physical strength by twice as much.”
“True once!” ygir yang displeased. “His Majesty's calling creature is indeed great. Of course even more so Your Majesty himself. I'm so envious.”
“But, this magic potion has a temporary dispelling effect. Isn't that bad?” ask Medusa.
“Yap, that's how it is. This one magic potion still has a high risk. I admit I am still a beginner. But, doesn't that mean I still have a chance to develop? Ho ho ho!” Yagir said proudly.
“This is indeed good, and can be made even better. 6 Heroes also need time to develop. Now, let's work harder and smarter,” Hazura said. “I will contact Your Majesty as soon as possible. Are there any other topics?”
“If there is none, then let's end up here.”
*****
April 27, 1163 Zaenium.
Capital of Unkazar Kingdom, Beastman Empire Marhamzan.
Daytime.
Many citizens gathered to watch the duel between the Jaguar King and the newcomers. They filled the place around an arena in the form of a large field with a stage in the middle.
On the left side there is the King of Jaguars who is surrounded by officials and guards. They were busy taking care of the King's needs before the duel.
On the other hand, Laciel is being watched by Nadja and Hana.
“Spirit, Laciel,” support both of them.
“Master, fight. Ta– but, don't overdo it. It's just a friendly duel,” explained Aigis.
Laciel was also preparing in his mind.
“Appraisal.”
[Name : Yagwar III
Race : Beastman
Title: The son of the first Yagwar, Martial Swordsman, King of Jaguars, Guardian of the North (Guard of the North).
Combat Power: S]
‘She is stronger than Nadja and Gamlak. He also benefited more because he was a Martial Swordsman.’ Laciel counted his strength. ‘But, if by magic, then ..”
“Mr Laciel, this is a physical duel. So, I hope you do not use attack and defense magic.” As if he could read his thoughts, the Beastman Kaiman who was a subordinate of the Jaguar King told him.
“Can't use magic?” Laciel asked in surprise.
“I didn't say I shouldn't use magic, but I shouldn't use attack and defense magic. That means you are still allowed to use buff-type magic,” he explained.
“Ah, you also should not use debuff-type magic for enemies,” he added.
[Name : Qormon
Race : Beastman
Title: Right Hand of King Yagwar III.
Combat Power: A]
Dum dum dum!
Suddenly the sound of music being played. Adding tension on the arena stage.
“Music is already played. In a moment, the duel will begin,” Qormon said as he stepped off the arena stage.
On the opposite side, the Jaguar King was already standing up and warming up. So did Laciel. After that, they face each other. An Orangutan Beastman came to mediate as a referee.
“No attack magic, no defense magic, no opponent debuff magic, and no attack to the genitals. Just buff magic and attack into the others. Understand?” he turned to Laciel and got an answer
a nod.
“Jaguar King, are you willing?”
“Available.”
“Devil King, you ready?”
“Available.”
“Siap...! Start!”
Buk up!
The first to launch an attack was Laciel. His right fist had already landed onto Yagwar's stomach. However, Yagwar did not give any response or expression.
He then swung both of his hands, intending to catch Laciel. But Laciel is faster and has kept his distance first.
“It turns out it does not work without magic,” murmured.
‘Ugh, belly. Is he that fast and strong? I can't underestimate it, Yagwar's inner’. He immediately did the horses. His left side is in front. And in an instant, he had already darted towards Laciel.
Buk buk buk! Buk up!
Laciel could only hold back, but that was also insufficient. He can't hold on constantly. Especially when he was in unfavorable conditions.
‘I need time to cast a spell. And he left no time whatsoever other than to attack me,’ Laciel thought hard.
On the sidelines of the consecutive attacks from Yagwar, Laciel analyzed the situation around.
‘Even if I can teleport, I cannot escape too far because the arena stage is not too wide.’
That's when he got an idea.
The moment Yagwar's attack stopped for a moment, Laciel immediately flew upwards.
“Is flying like this against the rules?” laciel asked smiling.
“It ...”
The Beastmen whispered to each other.
“Mr Laciel,”
Qormon speech held by King of Jaguars.
“It's okay. Some Beastmen of the bird race can indeed fly, and that is allowed by the rules I know,” replied Yagwar. “Don't lose after getting such advantage.”
After saying that, he made the horses with the right foot position in front, the left foot in back, and the right hand in back and the left hand in front. Then he gathered the energy in his right hand.
Laciel didn't just shut up. He cast a spell.
“Di Za baritium da santharah le fikreta sarifae. Mind Acceleration!”
Yagwar has attacked. Staying in his original position, he only moved his upper body. Striking with the right hand gives off a powerful energy. A fist-shaped attack immediately shot right towards Laciel.
BOOM!!!
Black smoke spread after hitting it.
“Laciel!” Hana and Nadja scream.
Behind the black smoke, Laciel was still casting another spell. But, thanks to the Mind Acceleration magic, now he had the power to chant faster than usual.
“Strengthen Body! Reinforce Armor! Stamina Plus! Speed Acceleration!”
Laciel then sped up quickly. Yagwar had just launched an attack and had not had time to change horses. He had never even used defensive horses in this duel. Laciel strikes. Hit him right in Yagwar's chest. This time his attack was stronger than before thanks to the Strength Body, and faster thanks to Speed Acceleration.
Yagwar. He had almost walked out of the arena stage if the claws on his feet did not grip the ground. A part of his body that leaned backwards was already outside the arena. And Laciel did not waste the opportunity.
He dealt a final blow that made Yagwar fall to the ground.
The winner is determined.
