The Reward

"Forgive me, my Lord but I must confess that I am happy with the results," Chief Damien replied.

"As expected of you," the Lord said to him and focused on the battlefield.

"The winner is Alex!" The host announced and the veil went back up into the sky, with the blood moon disappearing and the sky returning to normal.

The barrier disappeared as well and everyone cheered for Alex. They were both excited and astonished while some male demons were proud because they had finally gotten a male winner this time around.

"As the winner, please go up to our Lord and receive your reward," the host said to Alex who slowly got up and stood straight.

He could not be more happy with himself because of his achievements. With this victory, he was certain that he had gained the respect and admiration of many demons out there.

"Alex!" Emilia yelled and hugged him from behind. Even Alex was taken aback by her action but he didn't directly push her away.
