"Uh so he went to the Asura Race to meet his old friend and got tricked into that gambling game and as always he ended up losing." After a pause, he added: "Losing our family's right to enter the Guardian's Tomb Realm."
"What?! Is he mad?" Evelyn felt so angry, forgetting for a moment that that old man was her grandfather, cursing him internally.
Does he not know how important that realm is?
It was exactly the place where she found that Metamorphosis.
Its importance was even higher than the family heirlooms, how could that wastrel just go and gamble it away?
"So, what's the situation now?" Evelyn asked while massaging her temples.
"I am planning to go and have a chat with that drunkard, so e along with me." Fader spoke, straightening up slightly.
"Why, shouldn't your strength be enough for this sort of talk?" Evelyn asked, she just wanted to return to her room and continue watching the battle.
Avoiding this useless drama altogether.
"No, you know that witch, the Heart Demon. If she starts to take action, then instead of solving the situation, things would only get worse." Fader replied in a tense voice.
"Sigh." Evelyn knew that now going was inevitable, of course she knew the Heart Demon.
Who was a weak witch but with a very strong curse placed upon herself, that made the men around her lose their minds.
After countless years, she turned this curse into her weapon and had bee a high ranked member among the Asuras.
To deal with her, Evelyn's presence would be necessary or her father might yet again fall for another trick.
"Fine, is that the only problem?" Evelyn asked, staring at her father.
"No, those ten gods you wanted me to punish, they have served more than enough time and now it's time to release them." Fader spoke, his tone rather calm.
"Already? Can't you keep them inside any longer?" Evelyn asked, she had already told Divine that she would keep the gods locked for around three or so more weeks.
It would bee troublesome for Vritra if they were already released.
"No, even if we are the rule enforcers, it wouldn't be good if we bent the rules too much. But why are you so concerned about those ten?" Leaning forward, he stared at her as if trying to uncover some big secret.
To be honest, as the head of the powerful Vespera Family, he wasn't stupid nor inpetent.
He had long ago noticed that Evelyn had been doing something secretly, but he just didn't want to probe into her matters.
Fader believed she was an intelligent woman and she would do everything correctly.
He was sure that after him she would bee the perfect family head, maybe during her time the family would grow even more powerful.
As for making her marry Armin Garissa, there was a small reason behind it.
Fader was well aware why the Garissa Family wanted Evelyn to marry Armin, so that slowly they could take over their family.
But it wouldn't e to that, just like the Garissas, he too had his own plans.
"I just didn't like the sight of them." Evelyn replied with a shrug, not showing any emotions.
There was no way she would get nervous over something like that.
"I see, well then let's first deal with the Asura Race, as for those bugs, those ten can wait a little longer." Fader said as he stood up, his bandaged body seeming as if it might collapse at any moment.
But his body carried such a strong presence, he walked out of the Cloud Palace, and Evelyn followed behind him after a long sigh.
'I guess I won't be able to see the fight for today anymore.'
…
Back on the Zoratian Planet, the battle between Yasmine and Vritra continued for several hours.
Using her explosive powers, she fought equally fiercely.
Since she didn't possess any treasure like the Mythic Halo, people wondered if she would not be as strong as Fiona.
But they were wrong, her strength was equally terrifying.
She didn't even use any flashy moves, instead fighting purely in close range.
It was a little surprising even for Vritra, his physique was one of his greatest advantages, so fighting at close range should have put her at a disadvantage.
But it seemed he had worried for nothing earlier, whether it be her speed or strength, it was all extremely impressive.
She didn't even use her dragon transformation yet, keeping the public in suspense.
Uranus continued to do his job, hyping people up even more.
Every now and then, people saw Rich who was busy watching the battle but also selling some sort of potions.
Of course, not personally selling them, but just observing the sales and feedback carefully.
Only when the battle was about to end did Vritra and Yasmine use their half dragonic transformations.
And the audience went pletely mad, cheering until their throats started hurting.
The battle only got more dangerous after that, from the strong gusts of wind alone, they could tell how deadly it had bee.
The arena was covered by flames, sounds of punches rang out continuously, and the space itself was constantly shaking.
For most people who were seeing something like that for the first time, they were feeling an intense adrenaline rush and almost wanted to rush into the arena themselves.
And fight alongside them.
"Hoo! That was a great no, the greatest battle, it seems that is all we will be seeing for today. It's a pity but tomorrow we will be seeing a lot more than that. So, don't forget to e back here on time or you will miss a once in a lifetime situation." Uranus spoke, his voice thundering with excitement.
Quite a few people who had e there to train themselves were also very happy as they got to see and learn a lot.
Vritra and the women had already disappeared, but most of the people were still seated there, still reeling from the shocking scenes.
Some people even decided not to go home and just stay in their seats, they wouldn't want to miss even a second of such fights.
After the battle, Vritra arrived back at his home in the Yate Realm.
"Art, Yasmine, Fiona, are you all sure you are fine? That battle seemed very dangerous." Ava asked worriedly.
Especially worried since Yasmine was pregnant, although she was just in the initial phase of her pregnancy, she still had to be more careful.
"We are fine, that was nothing, not even a proper warm up." Yasmine replied, and Fiona nodded in agreement.
"Yes, that battle was mostly for show. It will only be getting more… violent later on, don't worry though, we won't hurt each other, we all know how to control our strength." Vritra added, stretching his arms casually.
He looked towards the back and saw Shitless who was seated over Bullo, and Onest who was walking beside Bullo.
The two seemed to have made up and were discussing deep topics like life and destiny.
Vritra just shook his head and ignored the two for now, at times they were the worst enemies while at other times they looked like brothers.
"Son, that fight, what level are you at?" Gunter asked, just like most people, he too was very amazed by the battle.
During most of it, his fists were clenched and his heart was beating rapidly, it was truly a sight to behold.
"Hmm. A demi god." Vritra replied, there was no harm in telling them and no benefit in hiding it.
"A demi god? Oh, looks like that's way above the Lord Rank, impressive. Can you beat a thousand Lords if they attack you at once?" he continued to ask excitedly.
This was the first time he had heard of such a rank.
"Of course, that is easy. Even if there are a million Lords, that would be no problem. The difference between the two is abysmal." Vritra replied calmly.
"Oh then-" Gunter wanted to know even more, but got pushed back slightly by his wife.
"The dinner is already prepared, you don't have any other matter to attend to right?" Ava asked after giving her husband a look.
Gunter fell silent, giving a pitiful look and sighing dramatically, feeling pity for himself.
Such questions could wait, her son hadn't even eaten anything, of course that should be the priority.
"Yea, let's go eat first." Yennefer spoke, laughing lightly at the exchange between Ava and Gunter.
The others nodded, for now they were free.
Vritra wasn't planning to just spend these three weeks of peace in the arena.
He also wanted to spend more time with his wives, travel around different places, and simply relax before the next games started.
While chatting, the group entered the palace, soon reaching the dining room.
The servants quickly arranged the food.
For Yasmine, the dragon maids made special meals and took care of everything personally.
Vritra had made sure that these maids wouldn't even think of harming Yasmine or being parasitised or controlled by anyone.
Like a curious child, Gunter continued to ask questions, though he would immediately quiet down whenever Ava gave him a warning look.
"Husband, how many points did you get or are you not going to check until later?" Yennefer asked, enjoying the delicious food.
"Of course, he won't check yet." Yasmine replied, having spent a long time with him, she knew very well how much he liked creating suspense for himself.
"Oh right, that woman… hmm what was her name again? Did she e again?" Diana asked, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't remember the name.
The others too had somehow forgotten about that and couldn't remember the name either.
