Book 5: Chapter 78: Knight of Humanity Versus Demon Lord

Scarlet

Under everyones eyes, Amelia begins to float up into the air with white light shining all around her. Meanwhile Leonidas does the same on his side of the arena but with red light and blood around him.

And faster than Im sure a lot of the audience can even see, the two rush straight at each other, with the Demon Lord quickly throwing all sorts of weapons made of blood at her while trying to use multiple skills on her person. But every last one of the attacks he uses vanishes the moment it gets within a couple meters of her, the woman grinning at the lack of surprise on his face.

Im sure his direct skills arent doing anything either.

Because I know exactly what that white field around Amelia is.

Thats her Bane of Magic Title-Bearing Mythic skill.

A skill that negates all magic within the field.New novel chapters are published on

Leonidas grins and mutters, Guess were doing this, then?

His wife just smiles and gives him a little salute as she says, Yep.

Then he transforms into his beast form and lets out a roar to the audiences absolute excitement. And the duel quickly turns into a game of chase as Amelia flies around the arena, negating any magic used around her while repeatedly sending bolts of null magic out at him that she manifests right outside of the field.

Im not entirely sure how shes flying in the middle of her field, but I wouldnt be surprised if she had some sort of control over everything in it somehow.

But this little game continues for quite a while, showcasing the biggest differences between her and a blood lycan.

Blood lycans specialize in both physical strength and magical power. Meanwhile Amelia only specializes in magic.

As for their magics a blood lycans best power is their regeneration. Meanwhile Amelia has a massive amount of mana with the ability to negate other peoples magic.

So the battle quickly becomes one of attrition.

To see if her mana can outlast his regeneration or not.

Finally, the light begins to fade, and I open my eyes again to find a shocking sight.

Amelia standing alone, visibly exhausted in the stadium with no Leonidas in sight. Following which she is teleported to the rest of us at the same time as Leonidas appears.

And silence fills the entire stadium.

The silence doesnt last long before everyone begins to question what the hell just happened. And to be honest, I cant help but agree with them.

But instead of questioning it out loud, I just turn to look at Gramps with a brow raised in question.

He chuckles and answers my unasked question, Amelia appears to have obtained a new mythic skill, and she used it to surprise Leonidas in their duel. But if you want to know what the skill actually does, youll have to fight her yourself.

I stare at him with more than a little surprise on my face.

Excuse me, sir, I thought you hated Amelia

He doesnt say any more. Just returns to the spot he was above the arena before, next to his fae partner right as said partner begins talking about what just happened. Which is to say that he didnt see what happened either.

Surprising.

After that duel, the others are rather boring in comparison. Including my own.

Eventually we all finally move on to the final round of the tournament.

And the five competitors in the final round include me, Amelia, Black surprisingly and two Noble demons. A duke and a duchess.

Neither of whom I recognize.

Kind of ironic that none of the Demon Lords or the other Knights are here but two random Noble demons are. But thats because they were all pitted against each other.

Anyways, King Oberon begins to explain the final round of the tournament competition.
