Dungeon of Pride, Laplace

350 Chapter 350

The reason for him not using it yet was because Simon knew how dangerous the trail ground was and he wasn't sure that he would be able to clear it by himself. However, now that he was pushed to the edge, it would be foolish not to use it.

Other than the return transit rock, his eyes also went towards the golden guardian stones and the Philosopher's stone. Irene had stored a powerful magic inside the philosopher's stone. Simon had no doubt that he would be able to change the situation if he used them and using the return transit rock, he would be able to escape this predicament.

Simon glared at the two old men with his crimson eyes, just as he was about to use the items, a familiar voice rang inside his head unexpectedly.

Vouves had a bad premonition seeing the demon noble glare at them so defiantly even at this point. And so he pressed Davis beside him to stop playing and knock the demon out. Holy magic was the best magic to use against a Demon noble after all.

"Haha, Vouves it seems that your age has caught up with you. The Demon is completely immobilised and cannot do anything other than glare at us. But since you are insisting so much, let's end this".

Davis said, his eyes suddenly turned white and with the gesture of his hand, the huge magic circle in the sky started turning once again.

"[Holy Dissension]" along with those words, a clear noise of the bell rang out.

<strong> DING…</strong> the sound of bell was so loud that it could be heard from every corner of the city. A huge curtain of light started descending down from the sky and top of the coliseum.

The curtain of light was packed with so much power that all those that were watching it knew that once this dropped on the Demon Noble, everything would be over.

Bringing along a palpable pressure, the curtain of light soon arrived in front of the coliseum. However, what surprised everyone was that in front of its certain doom, the demon noble seemed unafraid and was even smiling.

Just as the huge curtain of light was about to engulf him, something completely out of ordinary and beyond someone's comprehension happened.

The dozens of meters of space around the demon suddenly shattered like a glass and a void appeared in front of every astonished eyes watching from the distance.

The instant the void appeared, the sky turned dark as if it was the time of night.

Swiftly, the void devoured the descending curtain of light and disappeared right after as if it was never there in the first place.

The space mended itself and the sky was back to normal. However, the demon that should be knocked out by that curtain of light, was standing there completely unharmed, telling everyone that whatever happened a few seconds ago was not their imagination.

The incredulity of the situation was so bizarre that they couldn't help but doubt their eyes.

"What actually happened father?" Marcus asked.

But just like him Brutus too was clueless as to what had transpired even when he watched the whole thing with his own eyes.

The other guild leaders of the top five guilds were similarly clueless too. But how could Davis and Vouves who were above level 700 be unaware of what was going on.

Immediately, the two of them looked up at the sky, fear was apparent in their eyes. Why would it not, the huge magic circle in the sky made by Davis with all of his power, was cleanly cut in half.

"May I ask who this esteemed person is? This matter is between our Adventurer's Association and that demon Viscount" Davis asked, his tone completely different from his usual haughty tone.

With his words, he was trying to ascertain the identity of the one who just broke his attack and at the same time remind them of his background, the colossal standing behind him.

It was only at this moment that the audience realised that something had occurred that warranted even the caution of the two giant-like presence. Moreover, from those words from Sir Davis an officer of the Adventurer's Association, they could tell that interference at the last moment, was from someone else.

Just as they were wondering where this person was, a presence abruptly appeared high above the skies of the coliseum.

"Hmph, you are not qualified to know this lady's name. You are still a fledgling if you think you can scare me by mentioning the adventurer's association. If you want to have a talk with this lady, go and bring over Vincent" a childish voice full of haughtiness rang out from the sky.

The moment the name 'Vincent' came out of her mouth, Davis Hall felt his whole body jolting and cold sweat running down his spine. This name was not something anybody could spout from their mouth and only a handful few people in this entire world knew this name.

Yet, the person who had just appeared, used the name so casually that even he didn't have the authority nor the guts to do so.

'Who exactly is this person?' Davis couldn't help but wonder.

Ten minutes before this whole thing started, high above the skies of the capital city of Ellesmere, a rift in the space suddenly appeared and two people could be seen suddenly teleporting there like ghosts.

"Master, please… I don't want to go home so soon. Can we please just roam around a little more; this world is just so much fun. There are lots of places to visit and things that I have never seen before. Even if I go back home now, there is nothing to do and it's boring there. Grandpa is too protective and never allows me to go out. You can understand right master? Please allow your disciple some more time to travel around this world".

A woman with pure white hair and whose beauty could out shadow even the prettiest things in the world, said as she pouted. Beside her was a girl whose age looked no more than fourteen-fifteen years old.

"Hmph, you have the audacity to request something of your master after running the moment you see me? Girl, do you think I'm so easy to take advantage of? No means no… No matter how many times you ask me, my answer will remain the same. Who knows what trickery you will use to run away from me this time? I am not taking any more chances and bringing you back with me".

"Umnn~… if only I sensed your presence sooner. It is all that dastardly demon's fault. See how I teach you a lesson for fooling me" Lucine mumbled.

"Hmm? Did you say anything? Anyways, since we are might as well watch this 'Battle of Finest' tournament or whatever they call it. Isn't this the reason why you were hanging around this part?" Adalina said trying to liven the mood of her desolate disciple.

"Really?! Thank you master. I always wondered how the humans conducted their tournaments, I will finally get to see it today" Lucine commented smiling brilliantly, her previous sour was nowhere to be seen.

Seeing her disciple like that, Adalinda surreptitiously smiled. It was too easy to please her disciple, not realising that she too was the same as long as food was involved.

"Ah I should contact him too".

Just as those thoughts floated over Adalinda's mind, from the corner of her eyes she spotted a huge holy magic circle being formed in the skies. The mana and techniques supplied into that magic circle was so powerful that even from this distance they could feel it.

"A dual magic circle has been invoked, it seems there are people capable of doing that even in this remote corner of the central continent".

She remarked; however, the next second her brows locked in a frown when she saw a rain of light fall down on the people of the capital.

"Why would that person use [Eye of Luminesce] on ordinary people? Does he not know that it won't have any effect on…" Before Lucine could finish her words, her eyes were suddenly attracted to the place where the coliseum was.

There amidst the hundreds of thousands of people, she spotted a familiar person. In fact, she had last seen him not long back. At this moment, when the rain of light fell down on him, his body started releasing black smoke, attracting the attention of everyone around him.

"What is that Demon Noble doing there? Uh-Oh, he is busted. Hehe, now everyone will find out that he is a Demon Viscount. Hmph, see what happens when you plot against me" Lucine snorted and folded her hands as if watching a good show.

While Adalinda had a face that said she couldn't comprehend what had transpired in the last few days that she was absent for him to get himself in so much trouble.

Two people whose levels were far above him, locked him down and even blocked the artefact that he was using to mask his appearance.

"Sigh, how did it come to this? How did he end up making these people his enemies" Adalinda said exasperated.

"Why don't we wait a little and see. I believe that demon noble is not ordinary and is hiding much of his strength" Lucine said narrowing her eyes when she saw Simon breaking away from the pressing aura of those two people and making a beeline towards the sky.

"What are you saying? it is still too early for him to face those guys" Adalinda shook her head, when she saw Simon not realising that it was not just one spell that the other party had deployed. There was also the holy barrier [Gladius] encompassing this whole city and blockading the sky.
