The New Opponent!

After completing his own match, Adrian observed every subsequent fight, and to be honest, it was tedious.

A significant portion of the audience had departed by the final match.

Conversations centered around the 11th match, hailed as both the most entertaining and brutal. Some even claimed it carried elements of love and emotions.

Following that intense match, everything else appeared lackluster in the eyes of the spectators.

Thus, the first day of the Tournament concluded. Similarly, there were no surprises in the other matches.

Most renowned fighters effortlessly secured victories in minimal time.

Etheria encountered some challenges due to her low rank in magic, but she ultimately emerged victorious.

Consequently, the first round of the tournament spanned three days.

Currently, Adrian stood before a street board displaying the tournament chart.

He sought information about his next opponent, scanning the chart until he found the name Golden Star.

Muttering and stroking his chin, Adrian pondered, "Golden Star, hmm... I observed his match, but there wasn't any distinct magic he utilized.

Other than his golden attire and hair, he appeared rather average."

Golden Star was a 4-star aura knight who was near to his breakthrough to the 5-star level.

He was handsome and that was what made him different.

He had a huge fan club of girls who came to cheer for him in his last match.

He wore golden clothes and had his golden hair styled back.

He had a great physique with a similar matching handsome face which made him popular among young girls.

Hearing the name Golden Star, Demios began to recollect the details about him.

After a momentary pause, he remembered as he yelled: "Isn't he That pretty boy who had decent skill but was too much of a show-off?"

Hearing Demios' question a smile appeared on Adrian's face as he replied: "Yeah, That One. It will be fun to mock him, Don't you think?"

A similar smile hanged on Demios' face as he Answered: "Yeah! You better come up with some insults for him in advance"

A devious grin appeared on both of their faces as they thought about the match scheduled tomorrow.

The day passed by in the blink of an eye as the Sun appeared in the sky once again.

*cheers**applause**whistles*

The arena was filled to the brim. Today, most of the main matches were scheduled to happen.

Adrian's match was the most anticipated as the rumors about his previous match became very popular in the capital.

Most of the audience came to watch him who was known as a rookie who made him opponent to cry and beg.

"I am so Excited for that Asshole's match!" a skinny man from the audience shouted in excitement.

A fat man beside him giggled as he said: "Yes, I also want to see what new taunts he can employ, hehe"

An ugly lady hugged herself making a terrified face as she whispered: "I have heard, he is a demon who doesn't even show mercy to women"

"Indeed, and that creepy mask of his just makes his insults worse. I really felt sorry for Macho Husband when I heard the details of their match from my relative who watched it." a fat lady muttered.

The ugly lady was taken aback as she asked: "So, are you here just to see him?"

"Yes, Normally I don't watch these type of tournaments but when I heard how interesting his match was, I couldn't stop myself from coming" The fat lady answered with excitement shining in her eyes.

While many people came to watch Winter Nightfallen, There was another group of girls who were there to cheer for his opponent - Golden Star.

"I am very worried for Sir Golden Star. How will he bear to listen to that bastard's crap with his godly ears?" A young girl with purple hair said with admiration flashing in her eyes.

"Yeah, I have also heard, that Nightfallen bastard doesn't even spare the person close to his opponent. Maybe, He will target us." another girl with freckles on her face said with a grim expression.

upon hearing her words, a girl with blonde hair shouted: "I will bear any insult that he throws at me for Sir Golden Star.

But I am worried about Sir Golden Star, Maybe he won't be able to bear to listen insults about me and kill that bastard in anger" She said with a blush on her face.

"You wish!" Another girl retorted.

Like this they kept bickering Until Adrian's match was finally here.

The Host got on the ring as he announced: "The match you have been waiting for is here at last. Please welcome the fighters with a round of applause."

*Claps*

*cheers*

*screams*

*whistles*

These sounds resounded across the arena as the short heighten man once again appeared. But this time in a cook's attire.

He wore white shirt and a black apron over it. His mask represented his identity.

This time he had a different weapon in his hand and that was a meat knife.

[Picture of the meat knife in the comments].

After him, another person appeared from the entrance on the other side.

He was adorned in a golden armor with a great physique which complemented his handsome face.

His golden hair matched well with his armor giving him a charming aura.

He entered walking with a relaxed expression as he waved his hand towards the audience.

[Picture in the paragraph comments]

Men made a disgusted face in response to his gesture, while women cheered for him.

"I wish this Winter Nightfallen humiliate him in a more brutal way than Macho Husband!" An ugly muscular man grumbled, gritting his teeth. He hated these type of handsome men.

Hearing his words, a man shouted towards the arena -

"Winter Nightfallen, I Promise, If you humiliate Golden Star brutally, I will be your fan and support you all my life"

Listening to his shout another man's feelings resonated with his as he shouted: "Me too!, I will also support you even more than I support Princess Iris!"

Hearing these men's feeling being erupted through their mouths, all men who were suppressing their feeling stood up as they shouted in unison-

"Yes, Destroy Him!"

Every man leaving a few aside, Raised their one hand in the air, yelling as if they were soldiers shouting their slogans: "Destroy Him! Destroy Him! Destroy Him!... "

Seeing this scene, a confused expression appeared on Golden Star and other women's faces as they contemplated : "What's their deal?"

On the other hand, Adrian who saw this heard a voice laced with excitement in his head: "Adrian, Your time has come to show off, Show them what you can do"

Upon hearing Demios' words, Adrian hung his head low, as if affected by a sudden wave of melancholy.

Then, slowly, he lifted his right hand towards the sky.

Methodically, his open hand transformed into a fist, and he gradually extended his thumb, displaying a thumbs-up gesture.

Raising his head towards the audience, he bellowed, "I have heard your plea, men! Fear not, Golden Star shall not be spared!! Kukuku," punctuating his declaration with a sinister laugh.

This time, his laughter resonated like that of a demon, amplified by the mask on his face as he glared at Golden Star.

A fleeting chill ran down Golden Star's spine, though he brushed it off and continued his stride towards the ring.

Without waiting for the match to commence, he ascended the ring, ready for the impending confrontation.

"Now, I will not waste any more of your time and would request the lord to start the match with his auspicious hands" The host announced, leaving the ring after getting the Duke's nod.
