chapter 72 - tournament arc

After waking up in his sub-dimension Samshiel decided to prepare breakfast with simple garlic bread and coffee. Some time later, his women woke up with their legs shaking while Mereoleona was glaring at Samshiel for dominating her.

Samshiel chuckled and stood as he kissed them one by one. They sat down to have breakfast while discussing their future plans, most of them already could handle their dragon God form to some degree. Rebecca also told him that Cereza has been practicing cooking lately.

He smiled and let her do as she pleases thinking how much she improved. Samshiel went and took a shower while Rebecca joined in and unexpectedly Mereoleona.

They did their 'activities' while Mereoleona was full submissive when she was pounded from behind. The rest of the girls joined the fun. They hadn't enough last night.

Finishing his shower, Samshiel went to stabilize his power from the yin he had gotten from them, the most pure one was Zihao Yu because of the place where she comes from.

He could feel his veins being nourished as they greedily absorbed the energy. The yin-yang energy was becoming more dense seemingly like the calm before the storm. After balancing his energies, he and his woman went outside the sub-dimension to meet up with he rest.

_______________________________

Samshiel was munching down on a piece of seafood looking at the people gathered. He was with his teammates and lovers excluding Vanessa and Zihao Yu, as they waited for The Wizard King to finish his explanation about the upcoming tournament.

After the king gave brief explanation The Wizard King gave the rooster and Samshiel's teammates were Acier and Sapphire who were happy to be with him.

"Well, I feel this would be an overkill…."

Samshiel continued to munch on a piece of crab meat as watched a random person jump down from the roof top. It was Zora Ideal another member of Black Bulls.

He thought how that person have sharp teeth, and having leather tape wrapped around his body was beyond him. Everyone went to the portal where the magic knight royal knight selection will be held.

It was a simple team battle where they have to destroyed the crystal of the enemy. Samshiel didn't bother making a plan as he sat down above the crystal going to an open area.

The enemy was confused why he did so but still took the opportunity to attack, but what happened shocked them. Their attacks avoided the crystal. This made Samshiel stare at their direction while finishing his meal.

"Damn that was a good snack. Now then."

He summoned his grimoire as he created a dark blade from his shadow demise magic. Samshiel didn't want to show his blade of Tatghata because it was an overkill.

Samshiel put the blade above his head as he took a deep breathe.

"Breath of Hell 4th form – Greed Devastation!"

Then he swung downwards making everyone shocked from the aftermath. The whole arena was split reaching the crystal. Samshiel didn't even use any magic and only used his pure strength. Though Sapphire made sure to add an illusion that he did.

"Amazing anata!"

"You been flexing lately, Samshiel?"

"Thanks Anne(Acier), well, that does it let's go."

Samshiel went back as he saw everyone's Jaws dropped at the display of his power , as it was unlike anything they have ever seen. He noticed their gazes and covered himself.

"Hey, don't look, you bunch of creeps!"

Sapphire and Acier giggled as they watched the other contestants battle each other. It went as the canon and everyone continued for the second round.

Samshiel decided to approach and ambush his enemy. He used his shadow teleportation as he arrived near the enemy base.

They noticed his arrival and tried to counter using their spells, but he evaded everything easily and grabbed one guy, burying him underground. He could see their karma, making him not feel any guilt.

He did roundhouse kick, as a melee fighter tried to attack from behind but was sent flying by his kick. Samshiel turned towards his last opponent that used mist as his magic to block his field of vision.

"Hmm this is tricky but.. there you are!"

Samshiel summoned a shadow bullet, destroying the crystal and ending the match without a problem. They continued to watch the other battle, Acier watched Noelle summoning a dragon-shaped water spell, defeating her brother.

Samshiel smiled seeing Acier cheering her daughter. He sat while reading a smut novel then his eyes cracked open when Langris started running wild.

"That's an overkill, kid. Don't move."

Instantly everyone was shocked to see Samshiel disappear from his chair and arrive to stop Langris. Asta, Magna and Luck were also ready to kill him.

"The thing I hate the most is people hurting their family that is willing to love them no matter what."

Samshiel eyes cracked open revealing his pupils making Langris shudder in fear, his instinct was telling him if he were to enrage Samshiel now, then death will only be the beginning.

"Why don't we have a little battle, to see how much can you hold into your superiority complex? Hey Julius can ya make me fight him, I'll forfeit anyway."

The Wizard King agreed as they moved to a different area. Samshiel and Acier's eyes glinted revealing their dragon eyes. He then summoned his robe wrapping it on his shoulders, making him look like a military captain.

Samshiel just stood while reading his smut novel making Langris enraged, so he summoned his spatial magic. He blasted all of them but…

"Pitiful, your magic is too weak."

Behind him were dozens of shadow demise magic bullets, these were different because destruction energy was used instead of mana. The energy would destroy anything even space.

Everything was erased in an instant making Langris summon even more trying to overpower them with number but Samshiel closed his book and smiled.

"Done."

Everyone saw Samshiel disappearing from his spot, arriving to their crystal and placing his palm on it.

"[Weak force]"

The crystal crumbled, leaving nothing but dust making Samshiel the winning while Langris was enraged for being defeated by a commoner, so he tried to attack him.

"I said don't move."

In the next moment, Langris was in Samshiel grasp while everyone was terrified from the display of power, even The Wizard King became wary, but he knew Samshiel was an ally, because he would have destroyed the kingdom long time ago.

"If you haven't already realized, because of your thick head, but I absolutely hate people hurting their family that loves them, even without receiving anything in return."

Samshiel turned his head to Julius who was surprised to see him move in the time bubble.

"Samshiel, calm down you have already won."

"I know, I just wanted to teach him a lesson, that there's always someone stronger."

Samshiel let go making sure Langris fainted, he then went back to his teammates. He watched as Yuno fought the paint magic user(forgot the name) and eventually defeated him using his new form.

'Anime characters really like changing forms huh? Well who am I to judge."

The next battle was Asta and Samshiel. He forfeited because it would be more interesting to see Asta fight Yuno. He laid back watching the two fight.

"Want some?"

Samshiel was eating popcorn, sharing with his lovers. Where he got it? No one knows.

The battle was so intense, as both Asta and Yuno showed their prowess and improvements. Their attacks and tactics were evenly matched but Yuno had the upper hand with the offensive power.

"Who do you think will win? I hope my Noelle wins."

"Well I think Asta will win, as they have Mimosa's healing magic but then again Yuno's team has more offensive users."

"Hmm, I think it would be a draw if they played their cards right. Asta's teammates haven't tried reflecting their magic yet but Noelle still hasn't used her Valkyrie armor."

The battle raged as the climax was approaching its end. The people cheered because this match was a sight to behold. Samshiel just kept eating popcorn while using his tenseigan to see every detail.

After few struggles both teams were exhausted reaching their limits, but Asta and Yuno used every ounce of their strength to leap and destroy both of the crystals.

"Hey! I won, give me the money, Magna!"

"Greedy bastard, Here!"

"Thank you~, Well that was certainly entertaining."

Everyone returned to their base to prepare for the upcoming raid. Mereoleona arrived at the Black Bulls to get members. Samshiel gave her a kiss when she arrived making her glare at him.

He chuckled seeing her reaction and went with everyone that was selected, but before that he used his aura to calm Mereoleona down.

"You maggots! Prepare yourself if you want to forfeit, do it now we don't need cowards!!"

She grinned looking at the determined faces of the magic knights. Fugeleon wasn't present as he was left to protect the city if something was to happen.

Using spatial magic everyone arrived at the base of the enemy. Samshiel was confused at how people never found this place.

'Like seriously, it's a fucking floating rock with windows and shit!? Anime logic?"

"Are you ready, Leona!?"

"Damn right brat, let's go!"

Both disappeared from their spots as they started beating every mage they found. Samshiel and Mereoleona were fighting while this is happening enjoying every bit of their 'Date'
