52 Then Its Decided (1/2)
When they entered the castle's hall, they were directly sent towards the King's room. Apparently, Raal ordered them to do so when he learned it was Arima.
When they reached the room, they saw Raal was waiting for them along with his wife. They were simply chatting at a table and invited Arima's group to join them. Night jumped on the room's bed and laid down on the pillow. He found the best way to use that small body.
”Welcome” Raal said with an unnatural smile
Arima tilted his head ”Is something wrong?” He asked
”No, of course not, don't worry” The Demon King answered, he looked at his side and saw that his wife was talking with Lanya and Lilis, and breathed out in relief ”{Let's just continue with telepathy, sorry, she can be extremely scary, I don't what she would do if she learned that I want a fight with you}” Raal said with a relieved tone.
Arima smiled ”{Sure, no problem, when do you want to do it? I have all the time you want, I'm going to the Main Land after this}” He responded
”{Well, what about today? Just help me, saying to my wife that it is a spar without killing to improve ourselves and it should be good}” Raal answered and Arima nodded in return.
”What are you talking about?” The same demon Queen suddenly asked
Raal trembled and looked at her with a smile ”Nothing much. By the way, I want to set a spar with Arima here. Today would be good, after all, he leaves to the Main Land soon” He said and distorted a bit the fact that Arima had all the time he wanted.
The Queen looked at Arima ”You actually want to accept that spar?” She asked
Arima smiled ”Of course, it should be fun to fight the man said to be the strongest on the continent” And answered
The Queen was a bit surprised ”Are you saying that you are qualified to fight my husband?”
”(Aaah, that's what you meant)” Arima wryly exclaimed in his mind.
”Ratia, don't be rude like that, Arima is strong, I would even say that he is stronger than me” Raal said to stop her wife from saying more.
Ratia glanced at him and looked back at Arima ”Did you set a sort of bet?”
”A bet?” Arima and Raal exclaimed at the same time
”You're not saying that you're having a fight just for fun, right?” She said
The Demon King's expression became stiff while Arima wore a pensive expression ”What about that? If you win I can serve your country” The latter said
”What?” Raal was shocked ”What if you win?”
”Well, before that, I have to ask you, do you have a prison in this country or a place where you lock up criminals?” Arima asked
Raal looked strangely at him ”Yes, we have one, of course. We should have around ten thousand locked up, just in our city” He answered
Arima grinned ”If I win, I want the permission to destroy the life force of all of them, of course the reason is a secret. That shouldn't be an unreasonable request, right?”
Raal's eyes widened ”Of course it isn't unreasonable, if you can destroy the life force of all of those criminals, then you're welcome. Of course, we'd lose some labor material, but if you don't kill them, it should be good” He said
”Then it's decided, let's begin then” Arima said and stood up. He then pointed to the east ”Let's do it around twenty thousand miles in that direction” He proposed
”On the sea, huh? It's not a bad idea” Raal responded and stood up too. Night opened his eyes and jumped on Arima's shoulder.
On the other side, a two meters tall bull appeared beside Raal. The four looked at each other.
”Hey, what are-” Ratia tried to say something but was interrupted by her husband
”Sorry, can't go back on it now. Can you protect the continent?” He said
”You too, Lanya, Lilis, help her protect this continent” Arima also said
The two fighters grinned and disappeared at the same time along with their soul beasts.
The three girls that were left looked at each other ”What do they meant by protecting the continent?” Lanya asked
”Most likely, they meant that their fight would produce some tides and we would need to protect the continent from it” Lilis casually said and stood up ”And also, we should hurry, just a single punch from them would produce a small one” She said and teleported, Lanya and Ratia soon followed her. The former was almost at the ninth level and finally learned how to teleport from Arima and the latter was already at the late ninth level.
