Chapter 58 - This King (2/2)
”Human how dare you speak to this King in such a manner, you are courting death!” The puppy put on the most menacing glare it could, but it ended up looking even cuter.
”Fool! The one this Sovereign courts is Adelda, this Sovereign courts not this death you speak of, but it will be my pleasure to introduce you to her. Lately, this Sovereign has been introducing many patrons to her. The only question is, are you dog enough to gain her attention?” Will had a smug grin as he delivered his message. Direct discussions with intent can take anything from a fraction of a second to minutes, depending on the skill of the user.
Will and the puppy were skilled enough to deliver their messages in only a second, but the result was odd. When a person spoke, their bodily movements matched their speech, this was no different case. To Letty, Will and the dog were having a stare down while a myriad of expressions and poses were being taken. Suffice to say, she was creeped out.
”Impudence! Very well, this King shall end your life as you wish. Do not regret your choice human, for in this world there is no medicine for regret.”
”Ai, it's a shame, if there was medicine for stupidity this Sovereign would be more than happy to part with it and give you some. You cuteness has put this Sovereign in a giving mood.”
Suffice to say the puppy was angered to the limits. ”Human, it took this King quite some time to gather minions worthy of this King's presence. Especially that dragon, I had expended quite a bit of effort to subdue him. Now I shall have you bear the costs of your actions, prepare!”
A boss challenge has been issued, if you accept you will be taken to the arena. Do you accept?
When Will saw the prompt appear, a smile appeared on his face. This is what he had been hoping for! Of the other bosses, only the Warthog had given him a challenge and he had been given a prize from killing it in the arena. He had slaughtered multiple creatures before but had never received rewards before. The potential rewards made Will want to fight even more.
'This Sovereign huh? I am starting to like the sound of it.'
”Letty, stay by the beach, close to the water, none of the creatures will harm you if you are there. I have a fight to go to.”
”Wai-”
Will shoved Letty lightly but she flew quite a distance an landed right into the shallow waters. By the time she had stood up, Will and the puppy were gone
Letty saw that she was surrounded by multiple demonic beasts of all kinds. In response, she brought out a dagger and stood on high alert. Yet the attack she was expecting never came.
The remaining beasts were weak, true, but only compared to the bosses. There were still plenty in the crowd that could devour Letty within seconds. After all, she was not someone who focused on combat. After thinking about this some more Letty made a resolution. As soon as this was over she would use the Soul Regalia ability and get stronger. The only question was, would she and her Master survive?
