Chapter 114
Chapter 114Could the dignified Demon Clan Princess truly be expected to appear as promised—and was that something they could decide?
They were indeed anxious, but they couldn’t allow that anxiety to show too obviously.
After all, in the waiting area at this moment... stood a truly weighty figure...
Princess Livra, the Third Princess of the Kingdom of Aurus, was right here waiting.
She stared silently at the tightly shut main door of the waiting area.
The official in charge of organizing the contestants wiped a cold sweat and stepped forward with guilt.
He assumed Her Highness the Princess was here to hold them accountable.
“We... we are guilty beyond redemption, Your Highness. If Princess Sheffy does not appear and breaks her promise to this match... will we... will we all be executed as punishment?! As the primary official, I cannot escape the blame!”
“You...!”
Eek! Her Highness the Princess was angry!
But when Livra turned around, she blinked her big eyes and looked rather silly.
“You-you-you...! Can you not say such unlucky things! I believe Princess Sheffy will definitely keep her promise and show up. And even if she doesn’t, it’s not your fault, is it? Ugh... but will Father push me onto the execution platform?!”
“Please don’t say such unlucky things, Your Highness!” “That’s right! Your Highness is such a kind person—His Majesty will surely understand!”
“！”
This was terrible—those staff members who had been fearing execution were now actually sympathizing with and comforting Livra instead.
Wherever Livra went, she never put on airs, and gave people a warm, approachable feeling.
In truth, Livra wasn’t all that nervous right now.o stay silent and watch the proceedings calmly. Please follow the rules! Stay restrained!】
“Stay silent and watch calmly.”
Which basically meant telling their fellow humans... if you want to curse, hold it in—don’t start a riot in the arena!
Today, the King, the Pope, and the Demon King were all in attendance. None of them wanted any incident here. Otherwise, it would be a bloodbath of utter chaos. Not to mention them—the host himself also wanted to live a few more years!
The arena was quiet, but that didn’t affect Sheffy’s mood for the match.
Her eyes didn’t go to her opponent standing across from her first—
Instead, they went to the bulging pouch of money resting on the championship podium.
Only afterward did she look at the human standing in the eastern corridor—a brawny man clad in light armor, with brown hair, a short beard, and a massive axe in hand.
With a confident smile across his face, he stepped toward the starting circle required at the beginning of the match.
He hoisted the giant axe onto his shoulder. Even at night, the axe’s edge gleamed with a fierce cold light.
Sheffy also began walking toward her designated circle.
Only, with her little leather shoes decorated with bows, and the soft yawn she couldn’t suppress—covering the corner of her mouth as she started moving in the otherwise silent arena—it all made her seem incredibly relaxed.
This arrogant witch—did she even realize that she was in the middle of a competition?!
According to custom, whenever a unique contestant appeared in tonight’s matches, the host was expected to explain some common knowledge.
For instance, since Woflow was the first representative from the Adventurer’s Guild to appear in tonight’s match, it was necessary to give a detailed introduction of his background to help the audience understand.
【Both contestants are now in position. Surely all honored guests have heard of the Adventurer’s Guild. Their branches span across the world, recruiting powerful individuals. Members who join the Adventurer’s Guild no longer serve in any national official capacity, and instead earn income by accepting commissions from the guild. They are hidden powerhouses outside the official records of any nation—an organization where strength speaks above all!】
【Trainee, Copper-rank, Silver-rank, Gold-rank, Platinum-rank, Obsidian-rank—this is the unique ranking system exclusive to them.】
【There are only eight Obsidian-rank adventurers in the world. Our Kingdom of Aurus holds one of those spots! Unfortunately, we were unable to invite that individual today... However, Mr. Woflow is one of the only three Platinum-rank adventurers in our nation. Today’s match will surely not disappoint us!】
Thunderous applause erupted.
Cheers and jubilant shouting surged like waves—the Human audience area was completely boiling with excitement.
This Woflow was considered the trump card of humanity tonight. Aside from the unknown factor that was Sheffy, he was the top favorite to win the championship.
In truth, they didn’t really know how strong Woflow was—adventurer strength wasn’t like the structured rankings of the Kingdom’s Knight Order, and the definitions were rather ambiguous.
Moreover, adventurers typically didn’t participate in warfare.
But he had the feat of slaying a dragon.
The Platinum-rank adventurer medal had been personally awarded to him by the King. Woflow’s strength was thus beyond question!
If the Hero had once defeated the Witch head-on, then as one of the Kingdom’s top three adventurers, surely Woflow could put up a fight too, right?
Maybe it would be a bitter battle for him to defeat the Witch Sheffy, but among the humans—everyone was at least hoping he could force the Demon Clan into a sorry state.
Ideally, he would land a serious blow on the Witch and fiercely humiliate the Demon King!
