Chapter 136 The capital of demons 3 (2/2)
”GO MARS GO!”
”THAT'S MY MAN!”
”HEY HE'S MINE TOO!”
Mars noticed he had a 3 woman cheer squad located in the audience and gave a wave to the girls before he returned and sat down in front of the old demon and awaited his next match which arrived after an hour of waiting
””””Mars vs Devin””””
Mars stood up and walked into the arena soon he stood face to face with his opponent a demon with only one horn, he was also a head higher than Mars and had a robust build that gave a overpowering feeling
”so you're Dax's son?”
the one horned demon gave a cold snort
”father said to destroy you, so get ready to die”
being threatened Mars gave a casual smile and slipped into a stance
””””begin!””””
as soon as the match started Mars disappeared from view as he activated [Instant movement] and then he performed a roundhouse kick that landed right on Devin's jaw, only the difference between this kick and the last one he had thrown was that this time he was not holding back
*CRACK*
Devin's body twisted as it flew a few meters and rolled on the floor, but something flew a little longer, the expression on the judges faces hardened instantly when they saw what it was
'maybe I went a bit too far..?'
it was his mangled jaw which had separated from his face that had flown a little longer than the rest of his body, the judges shifted their gazes to Mars and stared at him for a few seconds before they spoke
””””2 points to Mars, Mars wins!””””
the arena was silent, gazes with mixed emotion looked at Mars that was the center of attention, Mars gave a sigh and walked back to the old demon that was tearing up when he looked at Mars, it was tears of joy, before mars had the chance to ask what happened the old demon spoke
”I once had a son... a real son, my flesh and blood and he was killed in this very arena by Devin, now Mars you have avenged my son”
the old demon's voice was not loud but given that most of the arena was silent his voice carried far and the gazes on Mars started to warm a little, Mars however only gave the old demon a smile before he sat down in front of him again
”I did what I promised”
”thank you son”
Mars breezed through the rests of the tournament and soon he stood as the final victor in the arena and walked over to a designated spot and sat down, the spot was in front of the old queen of demons that looked Mars over for a long time before she spoke in a unhurried tone
”...outsider, no champion what is your wish?”
Mars lowered his head and spoke in a clear tone
”I wish for a private meeting with the crown princess”
the queen's eyes slightly widened and the audience began whispering amongst themselves, but Mars just kept his head lowered and waited for the queen to speak, which she soon did in her usual unhurried tone
”...that wish is easily granted... do you wish for anything else?”
Mars was a little surprised, the old demon had not told him about being given a second wish and sunk a glance in the old demon's direction and found he was as clueless as Mars, after thinking for awhile he lowered his head even deeper and spoke
”I wish for the prosperity of all demon kind”
the old queen's eyes gave a glint of approval before she spoke again
”and how do you want that wish to be granted?”
”by speaking with the crown princess I hope to give all of the wasteland prosperity in from of a trade agreement with Destra”
the old queen's eyes glinted again as she gave a nod and raised her right hand
”this wish I grant... given you are able to hold up your end of the bargain”
Mars showed a smile with his head still lowered, things were going better than he expected
”that should not be a problem”
