Dead Queen Nala's
08 Levels D - Semi Final

I was on the right side of the arena. People cheering is more crowded than ever, but still it makes me less happy because what they think is being cheered is Arthur Alvecna, not Nala. But I'm gonna change that today.

"From the left side, the best fighter (he said) from the city of Hargrove. The Bully!"

A bare-chested man appeared from the left side. He was not seen carrying any weapons, but the cloth that remembered his hands clearly indicated that he was an empty-handed fighter. His face was more irritating than Hawkin, full of confidence but also demeaning. Very well after his name.

"So you beat Hawkin? Heh.. I'll tell you one thing. You're just lucky. You attacked him just as the match started, making him shocked and caught his guard. But that doesn't apply to me. No matter how big your weapon is, these two hands will hit your woman-like face."

Much talk.

"Both fighters are ready." I pulled out my giant sword. And The Bully shows a position ready to cram.

"Prepare.."

"Thou"

The Bully directly lunged towards me before the exclamation began to finish. Looking at his attitude, I am not at all surprised that he will cheat. Even spasm. Unfortunately..

"Uwigh!"

I'm faster. As soon as he was within the distance of my sword, I threw him with the back of my sword into the air. Match over.

"S-finish!! Just incredible! Even when The Bully cheats, the Golden Eagle still can-"

I raised my hand and made the commenter stop.

"I'm sorry if I interrupt. But there's something I want to announce. From now on I am not Arthur Alvecna the Golden Eagle, but now is, Nala Arthuria Alvecna, The Golden Lion."

People cheered great. Cheers I want. A cheer that was intended for me. And taste.. Justjust wonderful.

Back to the bar. I found Lamia there with Kronii and Pufu. Considering last night's conversation, I was worried about talking to him.

"Welcome back for your victory, Golden Lion," greeted the witch.

"Honestly, I prefer the Lion Queen Nala."

"But that's not something Arthur would say."

"I know. I'll use that name another time."

"By the way. Miss Lamia wants to come back and talk to you." Lamia showed an unpleasant smile. I know dealing with him is not a good thing.

"Can you later? I want to prepare for the final-"

"Calm down" Kronii, with Pufu's help, returned to his telepathy to talk to me. "He knows who we are and he is on our side. I know you're worried, but building relationships with people who want to be allies is a big advantage for us, right?"

"alright.. I guess talking for a minute doesn't matter."

I followed Lamia. Pufu wanted to come, but I refused. At least if something bad happens, I don't have to worry about it. We walked far enough to enter the small alleys. Then we arrived at a doll shop. But it hasn't stopped there.

Inside the store, there was a secret passageway to a place where the deeper I felt, the more intense the unpleasant felt.

He stopped in a dark room. I can still see everything, but I'm not sure what I saw. There are many human-sized dolls. Then he grabbed a button to turn on the lights.

"Let's re-introduce us. My name is Lamia Martina, leader of the black guild."

When the lights went on, what I thought I saw was worse. They are not dolls, but real people.

"Black union? You mean doing illegal things? So these are slaves?"

"Hmmm, as Miss Kronii said, you're really smart."

I desperately wanted to go berserk and kill this girl in front of me. But I realized where I was. I was born on the dark side, where morality would not benefit me. So no matter how bad this guy is, he's still my ally.

"Since when did you know we weren't human?"

"Eleven," Lamia mentioned a name and a girl in all black clothes who covered all parts of her body except for eyes to appear. "They're my best," he continued.

"You know I'm Arthur's fiancee, right? But actually, I don't like it. He promised to marry me after the Hawkin fight, and I don't like that. So after his victory for the ticket against Hawkin, I sent Eleven to kill him, unfortunately Kronii already preyed on him."

"Then what do you want from me?"

"Help you, of course! Kronii has already told you your purpose. The book of Resurrection, right? Actually I don't really care about the book, but if it can make the monsters survive. I'd be glad to help you."

"Why do you want to help monsters? Regardless of your activities, monsters are still dangerous creatures to you, right?"

"Indeed, but I'm not the one who has to worry about that. It is the duty of the knights. You know, if the Grand Order's plan is successful and the monsters are eliminated, then a disguised union like ours will definitely be the next target."

"But if the monsters continue to survive. The attention of the knights will be distracted. That so?" Briefly and Lamia smiled.

"Alicia Creel's. That was your last opponent. His brother was a leader on the second floor. And he himself has great potential for it. Although he was very young, many people believed that he was the strongest in the fourth level. If you want, I can make you win without having to fight it."

"no need. I'll tell you. First, I hate you. Second, I don't want to do anything unnecessary. Third, you underestimate me. If fighting tier four alone I need help, then fighting one kingdom is just a dream." Wow, I didn't think I'd say anything cool. But that's my heart, I won't pull it.

Lamia laughed, a heartfelt laugh that made me forget that she was a psychopath. He then walked up to me and brought his face closer. I thought he'd whisper something again, but he didn't. He was only a few inches in front of my face.

"You're really very interesting, Nala. Monster or not, you've made me fall in love. I promise I will continue to help and pay attention to you!"

Please don't, it's terrible.
