Chapter 459 - Sera the god (2/2)
They had both fallen to the floor and Sera was on top of him. He had yet to say a word, and all he did was repeatedly stab the contesters neck.
At first there were cheers, as the people saw their empire contestant winning, but soon they had stopped. The stabbing continued with the crowd in stunned silence as no one had intervened in the fight. Even though it was clear the other contestant was now dead.
This was because it was all on the Empire's Alexander's orders. Whatever happened in this fight they were to allow it, and just sit there and watch.
The stabbing continued for around three minutes until eventually Sera stood up, threw the blade on the ground and walked off.
His teammate at first from the same kingdom wanted to come out and stop it, but whenever he tried moving, he felt a strange shiver all over his body.
”What a freak, what the hell!” Kyle shouted, watching from above.
”How can the Empire just allow something like that. Why didn't they do anything?” Martha asked, watching horrified but unable to look away.
”It seemed like it was a message, a message to all of us.” Sylvia said. Maybe the Empire had more problems than they wished to admit. They allowed such a crazy person to sit at the dinner table, and be by the Empire's side at all times?
The first day of events were over and the participants were told to go back to their place and rest. There were so many shocking things that had happened in today's event, but the one thing that stuck in all of their minds was the last fight of the day.
Maybe because it was the most recent, or maybe it was because Sera's blood splattered face was ingrained in their mind, how he was so emotionless as he had done his actions.
Inside the room, all of the Redwings were with Ray, discussing what had happened today including Roy.
”Well, it's official.” Roy said. ”I think I will be leaving this place and joining you guys after all. There's just too many things going on here. I don't like it, I don't like it one bit.”
”I couldn't agree with you more.” Kyle replied.
”Sylvia, it would be best if you started making preparations.” Ray said.
”Preparations for what?” Sylvia asked nervously.
”For war.”
A war with the empire, would it really get to that? Even with their strength they could never imagine winning and they still had the problem with the Shadow to deal with. While they were all thinking, a knock was heard at the door.
When Martha answered it, she was surprised to see it was one of the contestants waiting outside, but not just any of the contestants it was Roki.
”Your majesty.” Roki said in a polite and respectful manner while bowing down. ”Is it okay if we can have a talk.”
Sylvia looked at Ray as if to say it was a bad idea, but Ray didn't feel the same way. He waved his hand, signalling everyone to leave the room. Then the two of them had sat down at the corner of the table at the back.
It was quiet between the two of them for a while until Roki finally spoke.
”I think it's best if the Redwings leave now.” Roki said. ”Forget about the tournament, you have already proved your strength to everybody so is there a need for you to stay.”
Ray was surprised by this, he knew what Roki was like. When he saw a strong opponent, usually he would want to face him. That was why he had talked to Nes that time at the arena, but what had changed?
”Is it because of what happened with the Sera person?” Ray asked.
Roki nodded before speaking.
”You don't understand, when he came, things changed. He's not human. He's…”
”A god…” Ray replied.
Roki had this look on his face as if he wanted to say how did you know.
That's when Roki noticed something else, he had never been this close to Ray before, and he could see something around his neck. His eyes widened.
”That, where did you get that!” Roki asked.
He was pointing at the pendant that was gifted to him by his mother.
