The changes in the arena caught many by surprise.
However, this did not affect the following battle. The ogre – Uno’s movements slowed for a moment as he glanced at Soren in the distance, and then he roared, swinging his heavy mace down at the lust demon in front of him. As a mid-level demon, the lust demon did not possess exceptional combat skills; her only advantage was her swiftness and her innate enchantment ability. However, she did not attempt to charm the ogre – Uno because the odds of success were far too low.
Roar!
An angry roar erupted.
The tall and burly ogre seemed to activate a state akin to rage, its mixed bloodlines making it incredibly ugly, yet also inheriting powers it shouldn’t have had.
Boom!
A massive pit formed on the ground, with just the rush of wind causing several blood streaks to form on the lust demon’s pale arm.
“Ugh.”
The situation changed at that moment; due to the chains, the lust demon’s movements were slightly hindered. Subsequently, the shackles were seized by the ogre in front of her, which roared and, with immense strength, dragged the lust demon over. Then, he spun around, creating a whirlwind. Blood poured from the lust demon’s ankle, and she let out a shrill scream. The demons in the stands erupted with excited laughter, yelling to tear the wretched demon apart.
At that moment.
Soren, who had been keeping his distance and seemingly watching coolly, waiting for the victor to emerge, moved.
His speed was astonishing!
With the demon wings on his back, Soren flew close to the ground. Just as the ogre was about to finish off the lust demon, he darted to its side and instantly whipped out his flame whip.
The blaze spread!
The ogre emitted a painful low growl, and the lust demon took this moment to retreat rapidly.
As a cunning demon, she knew full well that neither of the two opponents before her were easy to deal with. She could only wait for them to mutually injure each other before she had even a sliver of a chance.
Thud thud mist!
Soren kicked the ogre in the chest and then flapped his demon wings to rebound toward the lust demon.
A hint of panic appeared on the lust demon’s face; she didn’t understand why her opponent had saved her just moments ago, and now was charging at her aggressively. However, as a demon, she did not trust any demon. Driven by self-preservation instinct, she activated her innate ability.
——“Charm!”
If she could charm and control Soren, her chances of winning would be significantly higher.
Clang!
The enchanting spell light failed to affect Soren’s movements. Accompanied by a flash of fire, the lust demon’s head flew off, and the searing flames cauterized the wound. There wasn’t even a spray of blood.
The situation became clear.
Only two survivors remained, one being [Fire Demon] Soren, and the other the mixed-blood ogre – Uno.
The lust demon perished.
The flames on Soren burned even hotter and brighter. He slowly raised the beheading sword in his hand, and the flame whip suddenly lashed out at the enemy before him.
Both enemies were ended by Soren.
At this moment, the ogre – Uno could not understand why Soren liked to claim kills. Perhaps that was the nature of demons, just as the enemy clearly delighted in executing their targets.
Roar!
The heavy mace whistled through the air. Soren flapped his demon wings and evaded half a meter sideways, swinging his sword towards the mixed-blood ogre’s leg.
A powerful yet slow-moving enemy.
This was the type of opponent he thrived against, and it was a significant test of skill. As long as he did not get hit, the advantages of the giant bloodline would mean nothing.
The flames scorched the ogre’s hair.
Soren moved like a ghost around the opponent, maintaining a distance that was neither too far nor too close, silently accumulating damage from the flaming body. Even the armor on the mixed-blood ogre began to turn red.
The sound of flesh being roasted echoed from its body!
“Hehe!”
As the timing became ripe, Soren suddenly chuckled lightly. He leaped up, his demon wings greatly enhancing his jumping ability. Accompanied by a dazzling flash of fire, Soren directly sent the flame whip flying, then switched his grip from one-handed to two-handed on the sword and unleashed the sword intent [Execution] down.
Splash!
A heavy headless corpse dropped to the ground.
Soren gently landed on top of the mixed-blood ogre’s corpse, with blood splattering and burning on his demon horns. The demon wings, which grew larger, gently flapped, and he waved his clawed hand, causing the flame whip to disperse in the wind.
Finally.
He plunged the beheading sword into the mixed-blood ogre’s head, lifting it high and roaring towards the surroundings!
——“Soren!”
The entire Gurenba Arena erupted.
The least likely contestant had achieved final victory, and he appeared to have suffered minimal injuries.
“Soren!”
“Soren!”
“Soren!”
The chaotic nature of demons is always easily provoked; without a doubt, Soren had become the new noble of Gurenba Arena through a single battle, earning the status he deserved.
At this moment, no demon doubted his strength!
Given his earlier performance in the arena, he possessed power close to that of a high-level demon, and in the Bottomless Abyss, only strength earned respect.
“It seems our contestant [Fire Demon] – Soren has won the final victory!”
A goblin demon sorcerer’s eyes glinted with a cold light, smiling insincerely, “Congratulations [Fire Demon] – Soren! Perhaps we should call him [Executioner] – Soren!”
“This is your reward!”
“Enjoy the next day, for tomorrow another competition awaits you!”
A hefty ogre appeared carrying a chest.
The goblin demon sorcerer kicked open the chest, which was filled with glimmering disaster coins, numbering over three thousand.
In Gurenba Arena, any victor could take home rewards. This group of goblins secretly manipulated the betting; although Soren’s victory was a bit of a surprise, it was evident that not many demons had bet on him today.
[Executioner] – Soren!
History seemed to repeat itself; Soren’s new title quickly gained acceptance among the demons and spread rapidly.
Inside Gurenba Arena.
Soon, many knew of this [Executioner] – Soren, a powerful demon on the verge of evolving into a flame demon. Only the strong could obtain corresponding status. As Soren walked out of the arena, he no longer saw any other demons challenging him. Even the succubus boss in the Lava Tavern threw him a tempting invitation.
The demons appeared excited.
Because just after Soren’s victory, the goblins announced that tomorrow’s Death Arena would feature creatures from different planes.
Soren was among the participants!
They were curious if this demon noble, who had gained fame across the entire Gurenba Arena in a single day, would survive the battles of tomorrow.
