“One person destroyed two kingdoms, and we sit watching him do what he wants? Is this not a declaration of war?” A middle-aged man slammed his hand on the table in rage.
He was seated inside a large room with a massive meeting table at the center, with close to twenty people, men and women, seated around it.
The man had a vexed look on his face; he could barely hold in his anger at this point. Silva had been doing whatever he wanted, and it was getting out of hand.
The man looked at the leader and asked, “So what do you have to say about this?”
The leader looked down at the table and let out a deep sigh before speaking.
“The holy kingdom decided that they would have nothing to do with what Silva is doing, and as long as he doesn’t come near them, they have nothing to do with him.
The heroes have also refused to step in, and the reasons they gave are that they don’t have time to deal with pests and that the empire doesn’t tell them what to do.
We are the only ones that see him as a threat. Even the Royal Family doesn’t take his issue seriously. After all, they have to deal with the multiple openings of portals that have been happening.
It’s risking the opening of the seal, and they don’t want that. To them, that is a bigger issue, so they don’t want to waste time with this Silva.
There is also the fact that the war Silva waged against the kingdom of Olen was completely following the rules set out.
He sent a warning before he engaged in war, so on paper, he is legally allowed to do what he did.
Though I doubt that he follows rules, to be honest. I believe that we should engage him, but he has shown how powerful he can be; he has shown what his strength is.
Keeping him aside, there are also those that follow him; their strength is beyond what it should be.
But all hope is not lost because I pushed for something, and the Royal Family responded. They also went the distance to ask the holy kingdom to sponsor a part of it.
It doesn’t stop there as well; the Elves and the Dragons are in on it, as well as other races. It would be the first time that something like this is happening.
I used what Silva did as a catalyst, giving them the idea that, for one time only, let’s try to have the biggest competition ever.
The first interracial event that has happened in years. We have been at peace, so let’s finally get into a deeper connection.
But all that is a lie and a facade. It’s only because we have to take out the most dangerous demon king candidate.
We will hold a tournament, a grand one, the first of its kind,” the leader said, and everyone was shocked at what he said.
He had basically just said that he forced a united competition, all targeted at killing one person. It was absurd to think this was possible.
Humans and the other races have always been at each other’s necks. Even when there was no war, there had never been any real peace.
“What the hell did you just say? There is no way we are going to have a united competition. It’s not going to happen,” one middle-aged woman from the table spoke, and everyone nodded in agreement.
“Well, it’s already in motion. I know what you are all thinking, and it’s very much valid. The reason why they accepted to do this is really simple.
The demons want to know our strengths, and they believe that we want to know their strengths.
Everyone coming for the tournament has a hidden agenda. They are all plotting. It could probably lead to an all-out war, but in the end, that Silva will die.
Can’t you see? It’s a plan that makes sure we get rid of Silva. The risk is worth it.”
“You all have started getting too obsessed with that kid,” a voice sounded in the room, and everyone turned to see White Fang.
“I met a cult a few days ago, the ones that attacked Silva, and they were obsessed with killing the kid.
I had to stop them, and now look at you. You went behind the backs of the heroes to try and host a competition so massive.
So what did you plan to tell us? What did you plan to say as an explanation when we found out? You lot think you can walk around and do what you want when you want because you are a lousy council for the empire?
I hate it. I hate it when ants do not know their places, so I’ll make sure that none of you are capable of doing something like this again,” White Fang said and allowed his pressure to fill the room.
Immediately, everyone was choked and couldn’t move. White Fang walked up to a woman first; he could see the fear in her eyes as she struggled to breathe.
“You guys think you have so much power, plotting to disturb the balance that we, the heroes, have fought for so long to keep.”
He grabbed her head and added some strength, crushing it like it was nothing. The blood splattered in all directions, staining the ground and the table.
He walked to the next person and placed his finger to the side of his head.
“You all are stupid, way too stupid for your own good, so I’ll have to rid the world of your stupidity for now,” White Fang said and pierced his finger into the head of the man.
He forced it in until his fist entered the head as well, and then he pulled it out, allowing the blood to pour.
He moved to the next person. He didn’t say a word and simply snapped his neck so hard the head ripped off.
All while doing this, there was a smile on his face.
