Chapter 533
??Dick tore off Valentine's wig, and now he is beating him like a punching bag, gleefully singing: "bald as a baby's backside!", and all this in front of the most influential people of the empire, and most importantly, in front of Elsa… It seemed to Rose that he was going crazy. His heart was about to explode. He couldn't move a finger while his name was trampled into the dirt…??«I'm tired of you, you bald clown, take that!» – Kyon, almost without restraint, hit the immobilized opponent in the stomach, sending him somersaulting on the ground for almost 50 meters.
??Such a force of impact from a noble phaser at the middle stage might seem strange to many people, but now everyone was worried about something completely different: Mr. Valentine made a distinct and loud sound, indicating that he had a good poop. Taking a closer look, the audience saw a decent bulge in Valentine's pants and immediately understood everything…
??There was a deathly silence. Gradually, everyone realized why Rose had not fought back all this time: he simply could not because of a strong desire to empty his intestines. He was afraid to poop his pants. It turns out that there were no concessions or bribes.
??The Valentines blushed deeply with intense shame. They wanted to sink through the ground.
??Grandmaster Yan's face assumed an impenetrable expression, and only disappointment flashed deep in his eyes. He quietly got up and left. He no longer has a junior student. The old man refuses to be the master of such a laughing stock.
??Elsa closed her eyelids and turned away from the strongest attack of emptiness and shame.
??Rose looked up and around. Seeing the reaction of the audience, members of his family, mother, master Yan, and most importantly, his girlfriend, he shivered as if in the cold, his eyes rolled up, and foam came out of his mouth. At that moment, he was no different from a mentally ill person.
??*flash* *flash* *flash*
??The figure of the defeated Valentine was successively absorbed by three invisible flashes, the same as those that occur with an increase in the stage of development, but these were of a diametrically opposite nature.
??The audience took their breath away. Everyone knew that losing one's development due to emotional stress is an exceptionally rare phenomenon. But three at once?! It is impossible to even imagine what the youngest son of the patriarch is feeling right now. His whole world must be falling apart and he will never be the same.
??Everyone knows that the moral and mental state of a person is the foundation of talent. The loss of even one stage due to stress reduces the chance to break into a new phase by tens and hundreds of times, as for the loss of three stages… It looks like Valentine will never be called an unsurpassed genius again.
??Realizing all this, Rose passed out. Oblivion saved him from madness.
??Kyon breathed a sigh of relief. Valentine lost consciousness before releasing his hatred for Dick. It was for the best, because he had suspicions that it was more effective to pump out the darkness at once, not in portions. Rose's fruits of darkness still have potential to grow: love for Elsa and trust for Albert. He shouldn't miss it.
??What's more, Lovr even got some light! From several sources somewhere in the stands at once. Obviously, the victims of the maniac-rapist were grateful to the fat man for the total humiliation of the bastard who ruined their lives.
??To say that Rose was in an awkward position is to say nothing. He made a bald clown and a punching bag of himself, publicly shat himself, and also lost 3 stages of development. Just now his name, like the reputation of the Valentines, went down. All members of his family will henceforth bear this stinking seal of shame with him.
??«You deliberately humiliated our master!» … «Bastard, how dare you?!» … «It's all because of you! You must die!» – many of the Valentines with faces distorted with rage, like enraged savages, jumped down from the stands and rushed to Dick. They could only blame Baker for everything and pour out their indignation on him.
??The family of the 1st rank wanted to destroy one pathetic practitioner of the noble phase. What were his chances of survival? Everyone thought he didn't have a chance, and that was a reason for them to be happy.
??Earlier, Kyon had left the clone outside of Dantes in case he needed to escape, after all, he did not rule out even the appearance of succubi elders. However, he hoped that he would not have to reveal his trump card, and, apparently, not in vain.
??As soon as the most aggressive Valentines descended into the arena, suddenly they all froze and turned deathly pale. Slight distortions of the air could be seen around them. Adding to this their reaction, only a fool would not understand that someone powerful is using pressure on them.
??The head of analytics in the department, one of the few remaining in the stands, bowed his head and pleaded loudly: «Please, control your anger! My family members could not hold in their emotions and made a big mistake! Allow me, Milan Valentine, deputy patriarch Monty Valentine, to punish them for the insult inflicted on you on my own! After the tournament!»
??Relief soon appeared on the man's face. He glared at his family members sternly and gestured for them to go back to their seats.
??The Valentines' fear of some powerful practitioner made them come to their senses, swallow their resentment towards Dick, and humbly sit back down. They clenched their fists and hung their heads low, afraid to meet the eyes of the audience. Their recent behavior will definitely not benefit the family's reputation. Although it can't be poorer... One way or another, but today will go down in the history of Rosarrio as "the fall of the Valentines".
??The oppressive silence was broken by the imperial representative, who declared Dick the winner.
??Due to the result of the match between Seraphima and Clementine, it turns out that Baker will not have an opponent in the semifinals. The fact that the fat, feeble pig would reach the final of such a prestigious tournament could not leave anyone indifferent, it seemed so unrealistic. The audience felt cheated. The three princes of Liberia looked especially upset.
??After a short break, the imperial representative announced the start of the 5th round.
??Elsa entered the arena with an absent expression.
??Juno stood in front of her sister and pierced her with the most contemptuous look that she was capable of. She was in the infirmary and therefore did not see the last fight.
??The signal to start the fight sounded. The protective barrier appeared.
??Elsa softly said with tenderness in her eyes: «Give up, please.»
??«I'd rather die.» – Juno replied firmly and accelerated in the direction of her sister.
??Elsa dodged the fist rushing at her. At the same moment, the knee was already rushing into her chest. The girl stepped back, but her sister straightened her leg, aiming the toe at her chin. She had to grab the rushing foot.
??~BANG~
??A lightning strike thundered, but Elsa was not hurt at all.
??«Juno…» – Stone began.
??«Shut your mouth!» – Juno sent a dozen icicles to her sister.
??However, Elsa simply waved them away as if they were annoying flies.
??Due to the injuries received in the previous battle, for Juno, every movement was accompanied by hellish pain throughout her body, especially in her chest, while her sister, due to her monstrous advantage in speed, could parry and repel any of her attacks. Well, if she wants to, she will create an ether barrier, and then it will be useless to beat her at all.
??As for the attacks from elemental energy, the sister can repel them with a simple wave of her palm, and even if they hit her, they would cause as much damage as a snowball thrown by a child at an adult man.
??She could only use "The Essence of Destruction", for which, unfortunately, there was not enough energy. Juno understood the situation. All her efforts were equivalent to an ordinary person trying to break through a steel wall with his bare hands.
??Such a game with one goal-mouth cannot be called a duel. Everyone who hoped for a miracle was finally disappointed. But they were pleased that Elsa would definitely not harm her beautiful sister, which means there was nothing to worry about.
??«Please give up. I don't want to hurt you…» – Elsa asked quietly.
??«You've already hurt me, so much that it's enough for a lifetime!» – the blonde snapped and furiously attacked her sister, but none of her attacks reached the goal.
??«Juno, you know I didn't mean to hurt you…»
??«You didn't care about me! You think only of yourself!»
??«Juno… I just wanted to be a role model for you… An older sister that you would be proud of, that you would love like I love you…»
??Juno, viciously baring her white teeth, muttered with irreconcilable hatred: «No. I was just a stain on your pride: the only piggy that doesn't squeal with joy every time it sees your hypocritical mug. You tried to fix everything by presenting yourself as a hero in my eyes, but you didn't expect me to find out the truth…»
??Tears glistened in Elsa's eyes: «I made a huge mistake that day… I am so sorry for what I did! Please forgive me, I'm a selfish fool!»
??The girl's face was filled with guilt and remorse. Every time she remembered that episode from her life, she felt like a nasty bitch: how dare she act so ruthlessly and cruelly with her younger sister? How could she put her own wounded pride above her sister's feelings?
??«Forgive? Do you really think that everything can be fixed with a simple apology?!» – Juno snorted coldly. – «If you really love me and want to earn forgiveness someday, then prove it in practice: give up!»
??Elsa opened her eyes wide in shock. Hope was born in her heart, but it was immediately extinguished. If she surrenders, she and Juno will probably be disqualified for collusion. Moreover, for showing disrespect for the tournament dedicated to the empress, she and her sister can even be executed. And even if Juno is allowed to go further, she will meet with the messenger of the goddess. He's sure to hurt her. On top of everything else, her desire to become stronger in order to save her father in the future has not gone away, and for this it is very important for the girl to become the senior disciple of the empress.
??«I can't…» – finally, Elsa said with difficulty.
??«I knew it. Your words are worthless. Your actions speak for themselves. I can't stand your rotten little soul. In the future, you will pay for everything.» – Juno promised with frightening seriousness.
??Elsa wanted to say something to this, but realized that there was no point: all her excuses would sound pathetic. The younger sister doesn't want to hear her right now.
??For the first time in recent years, they had a conversation about that terrible incident. There was nothing surprising in the fact that Elsa reacted so emotionally. She would never blame her sister for such an attitude towards herself, because she deserved it.
??Sighing, Stone wiped the tears from her eyes and gently said with a slight smile: «I'm really happy to give you the motivation to become stronger. I'm proud of you.»
??«Let's see how you will enjoy this in the future.» – Juno snapped with a mad gleam in her eyes and attacked her opponent like an enraged fury.
??Elsa was behind the young blonde in the blink of an eye and, correctly calculating the force, struck her with lightning in the neck to deprive her of consciousness for one minute.
??The imperial representative studied the condition of the girl and declared Elsa the winner.
??The previously silent stands burst into applause. Someone even cried. Many viewers heard the sisters' conversation and even felt it. Whatever harm Elsa had done to Juno, it was now obvious to everyone that she loved and cared about her sister.
??And only Bai froze as if thunderstruck.
??{Wow… So Juno's phobia of furry creatures appeared because of Elsa…} – Kyon was surprised at this discovery. In the illusory world of Juno, it also seemed strange to him that the beasts dragged the girl into the alley and began to surround her, as if on someone's orders, and then Elsa jumped from the sky - a kind of savior hero who appears at the last moment.
??Earlier, Lovr assumed that Juno hated her sister because of envy and hidden jealousy of her father, as well as because of her sadistic nature, but everything turned out to be much more prosaic. Now her attitude towards Elsa was fully justified. It was easy to understand the girl.
