It was done in the impulse of the mont.
Eunid let the knife fall from his hand. He swallowed hard as he looked at the ss he had done.
Arid’s neck gushed out blood and so did his abdon. he raised a hand, trying to close rthe wound, but it was a fatal hit. Nothing he did could ever prevent it.
With Nora still on his back, he staggard forward, Barely firing a blast of his spiritual energy against the core beast scorpion. The core beast was crushed to paste by this, which made the second core beast back away.
Arid staggard back and forth and the crowd watched this mont attentively. Regardless of how the battle had progressed so far, it was without a doubt that Arid had lost. But it was not just the battle that he lost, he also lost his life.
Arid fell face first to the ground.
As he did, he tried to talk, his eyes fixed on Eunid’s face as the webbing of the poison in his veins spread like the roots of a tree.
"My... birthright!" He muttered once more, before his still opened eyes never moved again. He was dead.
For a second, the entire arena was quiet. After all, this was not so random fight, but an actual son of the family losing their life.
And then Eunid imdiately rushed for Nora. He picked her up, from the ground. She too had been poisoned, but the hole on her body seed to absorb the poison as she steadily healed.
This was sothing that absolutely surprised him.
Carefully, he helped her to her feet, even though he was really tired.
At such a ti, Old fang, the well known butler of the family jumped from his seat into the arena, and then he walked towards the body of Arid. He placed a finger on his neck.
He sighed as he turned to the luxury box in the distance and then he nodded.
Mulligan nodded back. He understood what the old butler was saying. Gently, through his pain, he stood to his feet, "Eunid wins!"
The Crowd imdiately bubbled with the uproar of victory.
It was an incredible sight to see. Many celebrated while so threw down flowers on Eunid as he held Nora close to his chest.
Old fang turned to him, "you should at least give them a smile, young master. You have proven yourself and these are your people."
Slowly, Eunid raised a hand.
And the crowd went even wilder than before. At the sa ti, Night mistress also rejoiced, turning to Pangubox and boldly stating, "Can you see, that’s my man. that’s my talking pumpkin."
Pangubox only chuckled at her declarations. Old fang walked up to Eunid, and help him with Nora, carrying her from his hands, and the two of them advanced to exit the arena. However, that was when it happened.
The first to feel it was the Night Mistress.
Her suddenly turned to Arid’s body. And then she frowned, "it isn’t over." At the sa ti, Pangubox also felt it and he frowned.
*BOOM!*
Arid’s body exploded with black energy that rushed into the sky. This energy ca from the rune on his arm.
Everyone paused and turned in the direction of what was happening. This black energy revolved around itself, like a Tornado, and then those in the stand could feel their spiritual energy steadily leave their body.
It was being absorbed by the tornado that only got bigger and stronger. It was growing so fast that it was as if it was going to engulf the entire place.
Alfred frowned at this as he quickly left the luxury box.
Mulligan stood to his feet, raising his hand in an attempt to fire a blast of his power. He gave a blast of spiritual energy, golden spiritual energy rushing from his body to the tornado, and for a while, it seed to have contained the tornado, but he coughed a bit, and the tornado, taking advantage of this, flared up once more.
The elders rushed to him, "Patriarch! Patriarch!! Don’t do it. Don’t!" They urged him as a few of them, stepped forward wanting to use their power.
However, a deep voice was suddenly heard. "That is a curse. You will only be feeding it with your spiritual energy. And even if you manage to get rid of it, many of your people would have to give their lives.
On saying this, Pangubox, took a step to the air, however, a magical carpet imdiately rushed to under his feet.
Gently, it carried him in the air.
As it did, so did the other magicians who had initially co with him. All of them except the night mistress.
All she did was watch the arena with a particular not caring gaze. as if what was happeing was just a trivial matter. anwhile, there were people within the crowd that were not of good cultivation and this tornado was bringing them to the edge of death already.
Pangubox waved his hand, and the Necklace around his neck, suddenly opened up. Each bead opened up revealing an eye. These eyes looked around the place as if searching for a victim, and then they settled on the Tornado in the center.
And then Pangubox waved his hand to them. As he did, he turned to Mulligan, "I’ll advise your people close their eyes. What’s about to happen next is FORBIDDEN."
Mulligna knew Pangubox and the kind of person the old man was. the mont he heard the warning, he noticed the beads made entirely of eyes, as if having life of their own, floating in the air and then they rushed for the tonardo.
Imdiately, he pushed aside the elder by his side as he put his spiritual energy into his voice. It rang like thunder in the arena.
"I Mulligan command you all. look away!"
the mont he said this, everyone heard his voice. This was a direct order from the Patriarch of the family.
Imdiately, regardless of curiosity, everyone looked away. Even mothers, covered the eyes of their children as they all turned away.
Loud growling sounds like the teeth of a wild animal gnawing on raw flesh was heard and then an ear sharp gritting sound.
After which, Pangubox waved his hand and the beads returned to his neck. And then, on his magical carpet, he was taken back to the luxury box. "They may open their eyes now!" he whispered by Mulligan’s ears.
Mulligan nodded at him, "thank you Pangubox."
"Of course, anything for a future inlaw of mine."
"Open your eyes!" Mulligan gave the other.
And everyone opened their eyes. The tornado was gone, as if it was never there. The only things in the arena were the dried up corpses of the core beast scorpions and Old fang holding nora and Eunid, crouching at a corner.
Old fang and Eunid turned. the Arena was empty.
However, at such a ti, a scream went out in all directions. It was a woman’s scream.
By her side, a man had been turned into a pillar of salt.
Pangubox frowned at this, "Its the price for looking upon forbidden magic." And then he turned to Mulligan, "I’ll advice that the corpse of salt be used to cook for the individual’s family for seven days or else the entire house old will beco pillars of salt by the end of the week."
Mulligan frowned. This was the problem with magicians. Their energy source was too weird for anyone to comprehend.
Then again, Mulligan had a better idea on how to solve this. After all, telling a household to eat their family mber that had beco salt for a week was too much.
he walked forward as he backed out orders. "Pack up the imdiate family of the deceased and kill them all. Punishnt for disobedience to my order."
Imdiately, soldiers rushed into the arena to do as their Partriach had commanded.
Pangubox chuckled a bit, "well not a bad way to solve the problem." he comnted. and then he turned to Mistress Nightfall, "Co on now Angii, we have to go back in ti for..." He paused. She was not at his side.
And then he looked below. She had made her way to Eunid.
She paused in front of him, her hands behind her back like a shy girl in front of her crush. "You did good today, Talking Pumpkin!" she took a step towards him.
It looked as if she was literally begging herself not to mount him and take a crunchy bite. She even leaned in, invading his space as she bit her lower lip.
"Thank you, Nightfall mistress..."
She frowned, and he corrected himself, "I an Nightfall mistress." She giggled shyly. And then she turned to Nora, and her smile beca a frown. "Is she your girlfriend or your slave toy?"
That question had co out of nowhere and actually left Eunid speechless.
She noticed this and turned to him, "tell , betrothed, is she your..."
