The Lord Is Too Overbearing

How in the hell could he get there?!

Everyone had the same thought. They were too bewildered at the extremely fast development that they couldn't pay any attention toward any insignificant details. However, the one being bewildered weren't only the inexperienced audiences, but also the experienced Mages.

They couldn't detect any Mana fluctuation that signified the activation of Magic. Still, at that time, Kinsey's Mana had engulfed the entire arena. However, it couldn't be any reason for them to not be able to detect a different Mana.

"Kuhum! I haven't even declared the victor, yet you have challenged the victor. It doesn't work that way, Boy."

The referee who had been there beside Kinsey — yet everyone had overlooked — looked at Basil helplessly. He was extremely bewildered at the youngsters participating in this tournament. Very few of them were normal!

"Wei Xiu Li has declared his forfeit, thus making Kinsey win in default."

"Still, you ca—"

"Then, you should do your job."

Agghhh!!!

The referee wanted to scream so bad that he was forced to bite his tongue. Looking at the unamused Basil, the referee really wanted to punch that attractive face of his. Sighing to himself to calm himself down, he finally did his job.

"Victor, Kinsey!"

[Rank 10 is challenging Rank 1. Kinsey, will you accept the challenge?]

"I accept."

The referee was irked. The dumbfounded Xiu Li hadn't even exit the arena, yet the announcer had dared to announce another challenge. At this point he was sure everyone was messing with him.

Luckily, Xiu Li was polite enough to give him a respectful bow. He sighed at that, and his raging heart calmed down to a certain extent.

There IS a normal one!

With that thought in mind, the referee returned his gaze toward the two enigmas. Their axe and sword were still extended forward. Same height, same ferociousness, and same mysteriousness. Both of them looked into each other's eyes with an incomprehensible gaze.

Clank!

Basil flicked Kusanagi and Kinsey was thrown backward. Kinsey reacted calmly, however a faint surprise could be seen on his face.

"What a force!"

"Mr. Referee?"

Instead of minding Kinsey's reaction, Basil quirked his eyebrow at the referee. His face was screaming, "Do your job, idiot sandwich!" The referee's mouth twitched. But still, he complied nonetheless.

"Begin!"

Flash!

The referee disappeared after uttering the most half-assed match declaration in his life. 'Since you want to Battle badly, I won't waste your time!' Was on the referee's mind, while he was observing the two people from his place with a smirk. He thought it was an enough payback to the rude youngsters.

Sadly, he was wrong.

Crack!

Kinsey popped the tense muscles of his neck and smirked at Basil. "I wish you can surprise me, cute guy," he said with a teasing grin. Basil was unamused as he responded, "Let us see how far Black Magic can help you."

Instantly, Kinsey's smile was completely wiped off of his face. Looking at Basil coldly, he pointed his large axe at him, "What are you spouting about?" This time, Basil smirked, "All of you are the same. You instantly develop a personality shift, when you are called out on your secret."

Basil was referring to the Obelisk Masters he had defeated in his past life. All of them had always lost their smile when their tricks had been revealed. It had been one of his amusement when clearing Obelisks.

"What are you talking about?"

"Demons."

Boom!

A sickening aura instantly descended upon the entire arena. The audiences instantly felt uneasy and nauseous as they were also swept in it. However, Basil, who was in the center of this, merely quirked one of his eyebrows.

"Who's your Slave Master?"

"Shut your bloody hole!"

Kinsey was enraged. Not only was Basil unaffected, but he could also mock him from time to time. He knew Basil was intentionally irritating him, however it couldn't stop his outburst.

"A pup barking at a tiger, what a joke! Tell me your Slave Master, and I will consider leaving you alive."

"How dare you call our Lord a Slave Master!"

"Yet another proof to support my point."

Kinsey clenched his teeth. He was extremely offended in his Lord's stead. His Lord had given him life, hope, and power. Yet, Basil was here harassing his Lord. He couldn't accept it! He was about to swing his large axe at Basil, when Basil asked another question.

"Also, who sent you? I know you have been observing me since the Selection Stage."

At this, Kinsey's mood got better. He put a finger in front of his mouth in a shushing motion, and smirked, "About that, why don't you figure it out?" Basil merely shrugged and said nonchalantly, "It must be Nicholas." Kinsey's smirk was once again wiped off of his face.

"You, Bastard!"

Clutching his axe tightly, he dashed at Basil in the same manner he had dashed at the end of his match with Xiu Li.

Burst!

The ground was lifted upward, and a trail of fire decorated the ground. Basil firmed his stance and shot forward too.

Clank!

Boom!

Sword clashed against axe. The sheer impact the clash between them produced was enough to make a crater below them. The [Auto-fix] Rune inscribed on the arena hadn't even properly activated yet, therefore the ruined arena became even more ruined.

Clatter.

Kinsey's axe trembled at the force behind Basil's swing. Jumping backward to get some space to breathe, he tried to calm his trembling hand. Unfortunately, he couldn't do it for long as Basil was already swing his sword at him.

Clang!

Boom!

Crack!

The ground below Kinsey was dented under the pressure of Basil's attack. Kinsey looked at the cold eyes of Basil in rage, then a dark aura started to surround him.

"You! Are you playing with me?!"

Clank!

Kinsey swung his axe widely to throw basil away. He succeeded in his attempt, however Basil wasn't thrown away that far. Therefore, he could come back at him in a very short time.

[Slip]

Clank!

"Ugghh! This son of a bi— Kuhak!"

Kinsey who was about to curse another profanities at Basil didn't expect he would be kicked in the abdomen. He was thrown away by the powerful kick, and skidded on the ground to stop his advance.

"Stop talking and show me your true form."

"This insufferable, Bastard!"

Kinsey was so enraged that literal fire burned in his eyes. His body let off steam, however it wasn't the sign of [Boiling Rage] activation. It was something more dangerous. Something more malicious, yet profound.

"May your soul be burned in hell!"

Kinsey's voice got distorted. His skin turned darker, while his eyes turned redder. Fire started to surround him, and the surrounding temperature rose dramatically. Not only that, the sickening aura returned in full force.

Then, something more shocking happened

Boom!

The Magic Circles that everyone hadn't seen up till then were finally revealed. Three black and eerie Magic Circles, which quality they couldn't tell, were exposed for the world to fear upon.

The audiences trembled and the experienced Mages gazed at Kinsey in curiosity. None of them held any suspicion toward Kinsey, and Basil was left disappointed at the people's reaction.

"As expected, these guys have been roaming around the world even before The Second Age Of Chaos. Sadly, none of the people know the difference between Black Magic and White Magic yet."

Looking at the burning Kinsey, who would definitely look like a complete Demon if he had horns, Basil steadied his stance, and closed his eyes. He completely tuned out the gasping audiences or the grunting Kinsey in front of him.

He couldn't win, and be was absolute about that. Kinsey's body was fluctuated with his "Lord's" aura, which meant he wasn't fighting a human, but a Demon. Fighting a Demon was an entirely different matter with fighting a human.

Their physiques and Magic were stronger and more powerful than human. To fight Kinsey, he needed to let loose. As expected of him, he had been sealing his power up till now.

Opening his closed eyes, Basil's majestic golden eyes were revealed for the world to see. Looking ahead coldly, his heart pumped Mana toward his Magic Circles.

Boom!

Three Magic Circles materialized, and floated behind his back. All of them were Ultimate Circles in quality. Sadly, the ignorant people thought they were merely Grand Circles. Still, they gasped in disbelief.

Not a single comment entered Basil's ear. With Kusanagi firmly grasped in his hand, his Spatial Ring flashed, and three Sword Relics instantly floated behind his back. Once again, the audiences gasped at the abnormality. Still, none of it was registered in Basil's mind.

Roar!

Kinsey roared like a beast, before dashing forward like a mad dog. Basil was as calm as ever as he shot the three flying swords behind his back forward.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Each sword was infused with Qi, thus accelerating its already incredible speed. Kinsey was forced to block each of them to prevent his body from being pierced.

Clank!

Boom!

Each time a sword was deflected, the ground exploded. The force behind the sword was that great that even the ground couldn't handle it. Kinsey whose step was slowed down got enraged and exploded his fire forward.

"I will roast you alive, [Hellfire]!"

Everyone was witnessing the hottest fire that only a few Fifth Circle Mages could produce. However, instead of feeling any suspicion, they admired it instead. Basil who was already aware of the people's ignorance merely shot forward.

With Kusanagi in his hand, he controlled a huge amount of wind to distract the fire away from him. And as he had expected, it worked splendidly. Nothing can beat the natural law!

Whoosh!

Quickly penetrating through the fire, he was met with Kinsey's large axe.

Clank!

Boom!

As he had expected too, Kinsey had expected him to come. Basil could feel the dread Kinsey was emanating off of his body. The extreme heat that his body produced could hurt anyone's skin from afar.

However, Basil was unharmed. He could keep his skin moist with Water Magic. Only an intelligent mind and a decent control of Mana were needed to do that.

"Who is your Slave Master?"

"How many times have I told you, he is our Lord?!!"

Boom!

Fire exploded from Kinsey's body and it swept the surrounding, including Basil. He was unharmed as [Lesser Aegeas] had long covered his body. When the fire died down, the two people once again clashed their weapons against each other.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Instead of producing the sound of a sword clashing against an axe, it produced an explosion instead. Each clash brought a destruction upon the arena. Deep trenches and pits quickly decorated the ground.

The previously fertile looking ground was left barren. It was scorched so bad it turned dark. If one were to look at it, they would be reminded of the scene they saw on volcanoes.

"Die!"

A distorted shout was heard, before a large ball of burning molten lava was thrown at Basil. Seeing that Kusanagi's might wouldn't work on that, Basil decided to run away from it.

"Hahaha! Where are are you going?!"

"Tsk!"

Sadly, Kinsey was always there to prevent him from going anywhere. He could run away at anytime, however Kinsey could catch up to him, and lead him back to the attack's path. That accursed Demonic Mana was really a cheat at this kind of situation.

Finally, Basil stopped moving and decided to gamble. His golden eyes shone intensely before water was conjured from the air and encapsulated him completely. However, it didn't stop there. The water spun itself and started to harden.

The high temperature started to fall down, and only then the audiences realized what Basil was up to.

"What in the bloody hell is this? Sub Element: Ice, on top of having a Solid Realm?!"

"This is.. I am afraid, something big is going to happen."

"What are you, Basil Pacifer?"

Basil was encased in a dense and chilling ice orb and none of them could wrap their minds around the absurdity of the situation. Anyone could learn any Elemental Magic. However, to learn the Sub Elemental Magic, one had to have the required affinity and talent.

Basil's unknown power, incredible talent, and unique way of behaving really provoked their curiosity. Still, they were there to watch the match. Therefore, their curiosity was buried deep down below their eagerness to see the outcome of the match.

Boom!

The ball of molten lava clashed against the orb of ice. An explosion occured, before a dense amount of steam covered the entire arena, thus blocking everyone's vision. Kinsey was laughing madly to himself, and everyone's attention turned to him.

In the dense steam covering the entire arena, his burning body was the only thing they could see. Suddenly, a gale was created out of nowhere, and it started to pull the steam toward it. Kinsey stopped laughing and looked at his surrounding.

The audiences did too as they could finally see the empty orb of ice that should've been protecting Basil earlier.

"That was a nice attack."

A voice resounded throughout the arena, and Kinsey urgently turned his body facing the speaker, who was none other than Basil himself. Sadly, the speaker's fist was faster than his body.

Boom!

"Kuuhhh!!!"

A muffled grunt was let out of Kinsey's mouth. Basil had punched him right in the center of his chest with his full power. Kinsey's chest caved in and he started to have a difficulty at breathing.

However, Basil's assault didn't stop there. He was sending Kinsey toward the gale that he had conjured. Although Kinsey managed to stop his flight before entering the gale, his body was slowly pulled toward it.

"Basil... Pacifer!!!"

An enraged distorted voice was heard out of Kinsey. However, Basil was still nonchalant. His left shoulder was slightly burnt and the fabric at that part was entirely gone. Looking at his first injury, Basil smirked in nostalgia.

'It has been a long time...' Returning his gaze at Kinsey whose fire surrounding his body was slowly pulled toward the gale he had conjured, Basil's eyes turned cold, "Still... How dare you, a slave, hurt this Lord!"

Instantly, the intensity of the gale increased. Not only was the power raisen, but the temperature was also turning even lower. It was to the point where snow started to fall from the sky.

"Agghhh!! You! My fire!"

Kinsey whined in pain and annoyance at his disappearing fire. His body was inching toward the gale faster than before. The closer he got, the colder he felt. The colder he felt, the more painful his body became.

Surely, Basil didn't care a single bit. Pointing Kusanagi at the gale, he muttered a Spell that he had just made, "[Winter Gale]!" Suddenly, the gale turned denser, and the temperature dropped even further.

Snow that had been faintly falling down, finally fell down upon the word heavily. In the midst of all this was the struggling Kinsey who was finally pulled at the snow gale. No one paid him any attention. The beautiful scene stole their attention away from him.

The scene felt like lasted forever. However, in reality, it merely lasted for fifteen breaths at best. When the gale calmed down, the snow also stopped falling. The temperature slowly returned to normal, and the snow covering the ground also melted.

Only then did they remember about Kinsey. Quickly turning their attention on him, what they saw was an ice statue. Kinsey had been completely turned to an ice statue, and no one knew how did it happen, except some very few.

Basil looked at the result, and nodded in satisfaction. He pointed his index finger at the frozen Kinsey and said, "Bang!"

Crack!

Just like that, the frozen statue of Kinsey broke, and the beautiful scene the audiences had witnessed was ruined. Turning their heads at the perpetrator, bafflement decorated their faces.

At this, Basil nonchalantly said, "What are you admiring at? A demon advocate? Even a retard is smarter than you."

Thus, the match ended in a gruesome yet beautiful way.
