The Demon Lord Reborn
Chapter 15: The Tournament

“Yosh, all preparations are done. I try, this mission does not last long, so that you do not get tired of staying outside, I hope you guys stay safe after I return, yes!” Peace said by showing a friendly face and then began to move his left foot away from the position of Astaroth, Gram, Majhul and Al'Aqwa.

“Don't underestimate us, Peace! You think we're that weak to the point of dying before you get back. On the other hand, I say goodbye to you, I hope you survive until our goal ends, which is to take over the kingdom of the Smart Snake back into our hands!” Astaroth answered excitedly.

“After all, whoever the opponent is, whether it's Chronus or any other Outsider, they will lose in the hands of the strongest Smart Snake Fighter like me. Bha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Don't be so angry, Al'Aqwa. I was just kidding, even though what I said was a fact. Bha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!” Majhul said with a loud laugh that made Al'Aqwa upset. Because his voice could invite enemies here, Astaroth threw stones at Majhul's face to make him quiet.

Returning to Peace, he had arrived before the royal gate. He looked around in awe at the towering stone wall so that Peace could not see the end of the wall.

“Wah... Justjust wonderful... This stone wall was very tall and sturdy... Fortunately we do not use the strategy of Artemis and Break The Wall. Because it is proven that the strategy will not be effective if used now.” Peace said in awe as he continued to step towards the gate.

“Hey, don't step carelessly!” Said one of the guards while launching his spear into Peace's face at a speed faster than sound. But with a shrewd look, Peace moved his head to the right which made the spear attack miss. Then, Peace pulled the spear firmly using his left hand which made the guard fall. Now, the spear had been held by Peace and in a fit of annoyance, Peace pointed the spear at the guard's neck.

“Do not disturb, insect base! Realize your position as a weak creature that will not dwell if faced by a Devil.” Suddenly Peace's eyes reddened, accompanied by his terrifying aura that was growing bigger and firmer. In fact, the aura of Peace managed to kill one of the guards after enlarging and strengthening.

“A-Punish me! I'll open the gate for you and promise not to tell Mr. Chronus... S-I admitted my mistake just now... So, please forgive my mistake and let me to continue living.” Said the guard while kneeling before Peace.

“Alright, I forgive you for this time. Then open the gate for me, man.” Peace said as he pulled back his spear and threw it as far away as possible. Peace's words just now were directly obeyed by the guard, he stood up and walked towards the wooden gate. He pushed the wooden gate that blocked the path of Peace into the open.

“It turns out there are still many Smart Snakes trapped here..” Speak Peace after seeing dozens of Smart Snakes passing by to do their respective tasks. On the other hand, many were also players who settled in the kingdom of the Intelligent Snake to rest. Then, Peace began to set his left foot into the wooden gate then walked as usual out of nowhere.

“Hmm... Where should I go, huh? Although the demons have infinite endurance and do not require sleep, eating much less drinking, I think I need to rest at an inn. Yep... Sleep is my hobby, anyway. After waking up, it feels fresh once.” Peace with a soft. Then he walked to an inn across the street. He pushed open the door and went inside and to the receptionist.

“Ehm, i... Ordering a room at the lowest price... Hm... For payment using what, huh? I am a new player, so there are still many things I do not know.” Peace asked stammeredly to the receptionist who was a female Intelligent Snake.

“For the cheapest room is still available and for payment can be through crystal, the cheapest room itself for 1 piece of any colored crystal.” Reply to the female Intelligent Snake who made Peace thwart her plans to rest at the inn. In the end, Peace decided to just sit down the seat that had been provided.

When Peace was looking out at the scene outside, he was approached by a man in white with blond hair, blue eyes, a gray suit, and a black coat, gray pants and footwear made of rubber and stone.

“Hey, you need a crystal, right? If so, sign up for the tournament just held by Mr. Chronus. Besides the crystal, we can also get an invitation letter to the palace and meet Lord Chronus if we win it. If you are interested, me or commonly called Ananiel can take you to the registration place. How?” Ananiel asked as she pulled out a chair to sit next to Peace.

“Aura this?! Is he a demon? Tournament, huh...? If we win we can get an invitation letter to the palace and meet Mr. Chronus... Yes, this can make it easier for me to manipulate the information provided by Zombies and facilitate various attacks that will occur! Emerald, what happens if the royal guard is tightened? I hope you can answer it.” Ask Peace from the heart.

[When the guard is tightened, massive checks will occur, accompanied by traps set up outside the kingdom. In this way, no one will be allowed to go in or out.]

“Good. Ananiel, I was interested in your offer just now. So, take me to the registration place.” Peace said with a feeling of pleasure, because he felt this could facilitate his mission.

“Alright, follow me and don't get lost. The participants of the tournament will also be happy if they meet an interesting opponent like you, the Demon King. It's only natural that I can recognize you easily, because I'm also a demon.” Ananiel answered as he stood up and walked out of the inn, followed by Peace from behind.

“Interesting... Even though I'm not a Demon King anymore, anyway. On the other hand, I was a little astonished by the people, why didn't they feel my aura, huh? Is it possible that my aura is too weak for people to realize? I don't think so, anyway.” Peace from the heart.

Now, they have reached the tournament registration. Soon, Ananiel leaves Peace to go somewhere, feeling that her mission is over. Now, all Peace has to do is queue in front of the committee table to register himself as a participant.

Seriate...
