Chapter 303 - Decree To Follow

The power of charm appeared, and it surprised many.

"Woah... Since when was Scarlet this beautiful?" Avary could not help but exclaim.

Mechiel was also shocked. She could fee a power similar to hers.

"Impressive. You awakened the Charmed Fallen's power... No. It's different, but it's also the same. What a weird power. I must commend you, Scarlet."

"But it's still not enough to affect you, Lord Kyros."

"Well, you don't need to. I made a decree, and that decree will be followed. Alright. If you win, I'll marry you." Kyros smiled.

Scarlet trembled in excitement.

Mechiel felt a strange, painful feeling in her chest.

Scarlet glanced at her and smiled.

Mechiel couldn't help but clench her fist as anger awakened.

"Anyone else wants to speak out their request?" Kyros asked.

"As promised by my decree, you can ask for anything.

"Lord Kyros!" Grugnyr shouted.

"If I win, I would like Reptilia to be my wife!"

"WHAT?!" Gojirrah and Reptilia shouted.

"Sounds good." Kyros nodded without hesitation.

"Then I want Lord Branze's to marry me! I'm ok with being the second wife!" Triona shouted.

"In your dreams, you Skeleton Scum!" Diana raged.

"And why are you blushing?!" Diana noticed Branze's expression.

"Lord Kyros will be mine!" Faye laughed.

"Erm... Su-Sure. Why not?"

"The Time Core Calaminus!" Stellya gave her wish.

"I guess I'll take Myas." Avary sighed.

"WHAT?!" Gregory shouted and tried to move to grab Avary by the collar.

"I'm just going by the flow." Avary shrugged and laughed.

"Then I want to take part! If I win, I'll go with an Emberdon sister!" Hunter laughed.

"I want Hunter!" A woman declared at the back.

"Nice." Hunter smiled.

"Me too!" A knight also declared.

"....Thanks? I guess." Hunter scratched his head.

"I want the Necromancer's body!" Myas declared.

"What the fragment?!" Calaminus was horrified.

"Sister?!" Martha shouted in great dismay.

"N-no! That's not what I meant! If we defeat the Necromancer, I want him to become a sacrifice to the Temple to increase my level!" Myas clarified.

"Oh?! That's a great idea! I want the Skeleton Commander!" The Lowly Lich declared.

"Reptilia!" The lizard Midgard declared.

Grugnyr and Gojirrah gave the lizard a hateful look.

"Hmm... A four Emberdon harem sounds nice." Mezal gave a greedy glance at the sisters.

Faye frowned. Stellya ignored Mezal. Ressi winked at Mezal.

"Grandfather!" Kyros gave Mezal a disappointing look.

"Dad!" Branze and Aron cursed.

"What? You gave that offer. Are you too scared to push through?" Mezal laughed.

"Whatever. Fine. Let's do this!"

"Son! Are you seriously going to allow all this?" Diana frowned. There were other women who were declared to have Branze as well.

"We don't know how long we have, so we have to hurry. The curse of [De-Spacito] can be resolved in a few ways. The easiest is to overload it. We increase your dexterity to the point that the curse will break. The curse is malicious because it affects everyone according to a certain percentage. By my estimates, everyone would need to level up twice to eliminate the curse. So now, I am creating an opportunity to train and increase your dexterity. So I need you guys to be on your best while I train you and lecture you on how to increase your speed. Everyone can join. And everyone can make whatever requests they want. And it's also possible for anyone will win. Imagine if someone like Aron has the high lead. If everyone focuses and aims to hit him, they may. It will drastically decrease his points to the negative numbers, and I will set a time limit. So who knows who will win?"

Suddenly, more began to have a hopeful look as they were giving sketchy glances at either the Coven, the Steele Family, or Kyros himself.

Kyros willed it, and various objects and trinkets appeared. Then, cups, rocks, wooden plates, and other objects stored in the Temple fell down on the space before them.

"What are those?" Hunter asked.

"Use whatever object you can find here. Each object has a different weight, which should diversify how you use it. Our enemies in the future may use this magic in the middle of the battlefield, so mastery of how you use your speed to generate strength is required. So this will prepare you in case that happens. I will also be creating dark balls and other elemental balls so that each object will have different weights. You have to master your control in the strength and speed you apply. This will be very confusing since you can feel your body moving with great delay. And the effects of [De-Spacito] will also change as I will increase or weaken it. It will make things slower and faster so that by the time this training is over, that stupid curse will either be broken since your dexterity points increased, or you would get used to the new speed that you can fight as effectively as before." Kyros smiled. 

"Let's go!" Scarlet erupted and jumped to grab a small cup that fell on the ground and threw it towards Mechiel.

"That brat!" The Blood Calamity raged and assisted Mechiel.

"Follow my lead, brat! I'll help you win this, for my honor is at stake!" The Blood Calamity roared. But what the Blood Calamity couldn't understand was that she could feel great anger against Scarlet for no apparent reason.

Gojojirrah dived to grab another and was faster than Grugnyr. Several rocks and small objects were thrown, and it contained Force.

Similar scenes appeared as the Steele Family, and their wives began to fight.

"Puff! Become my shield!" Martha ordered and made Puff appear before her as she aimed at Ressi.

"In your dreams, you bone head!" Martha threw a cup, but a powerful magic field erupted and blocked the attack.

"So you knew?" Ressi smiled.

"You've been eyeing all of the Steele Family! You want a harem of men, don't you?!" Martha cursed.

"Why not?" Ressi laughed.

Magic and Force began to erupt around the area. Kyros had to step back.

Cups, rocks, wooden planks, and all sorts of objects were being thrown around. Finally, a scoreboard appeared at the very top, and Calaminus began to speak at a very fast pace.

"And we're off to a good start with Martha snipping out all the girls that want Aron. Her advantage as an archer really helps her here. Puff seems to be acting as a shield preventing anyone from attacking Martha from the back. Everyone else is still having a hard time picking up their objects. The difference in their perception of time is really affecting their aim. Oh! Look at that! Myas is also doing well and- OH SNAP! That was a combo from the girls that Martha hated and who wanted to marry Aron! Puff has betrayed Martha, and the confused Martha is angry. Martha, Kyros told Puff that he had to join the game and he wish for his freedom. This is also Kyros's order so you have to fight Puff. Oh! Another round! Martha is at negative fifteen!"

Kyros watched as the group began to fight, and Calaminus continued to give his ringside commentary.

"Time to adjust the [De-Spacito] spell. I guess I should increase uncle's slowness by another fold. And decrease the power to the rest... There... Perfectly balanced. As all things should be." Kyros smiled.

In some cases, Kyros removed his spell on some of the weakest servants making everyone have a handicap that equalized the battle.

Suddenly, Kyros moved towards the middle.

"Hitting me is ten points! Taking a hit from me, minus ten points!" Kyros suddenly declared and joined in the fun.
