Chapter 408 The Banquet
?
"I'm excited about today's banquet"
"I know right!"
There were many reasons why people were excited. They would see many amazing performances but on top of that, there would be battles held with the guards of imperial knights.
The one who won the battle would have a high chance to enter the imperial knights, but they would also gain a large sum of money and many more benefits.
The two men looked at the gate of the entrance. There was an anti-mana barrier that was set around the place which would make the people unable to use mana. One would question how the battle events would take place.
Well, the arena where the battle would take place had a barrier.
When a person enters the arena, the barrier activates and the person is not affected by the effects of the anti-mana barrier.
The guards in front of the entrance looked toward the incoming people and noticed a group of five coming inside.
The group of five had many striking features such as sharp eyes and white hair, there was even a small girl in the group of five. there was a man with strong built muscles and the other four were rather skinny with different coloured eyes and different demeanour
The small girl looked very innocent and cute. But looks could be deceiving.
The group of five quickly entered through the entrance.
["Leader, to start with the plan whom should we kill first,"] Said one of the men in the group with the help of telepathy.
["Well, the most appropriate choice would be the leader of the Barbatos Clan. but let's see it all depends on who is more excited to die first"]
The banquet went on with many exciting events and after the Grand feast was over the most exciting event of the banquet started.
"I challenge you!" exclaimed one of the people looking at the god of the Imperial night who was standing in the arena.
The Imperial Knight's guard just nearly looked at the person and nodded. the person quickly entered the arena.
He had a great physique and always tried to dominate his opponent with pure strength.
He quickly channelled his Mana and his strength to his left hand and dashed toward the guard of the Imperial knight.
But the guard didn't even unsheath his sword and just attacked the person with his palm. He felt that the guard was mocking him, which angered him.
He quickly used his kill multiple Strikes which increase his strength and speed at which he was striking his opponent with his fist.
But in the next movement, the world around him started to spin and in the next movement, his body fell to the ground.
The guard was so fast that he couldn't even detect his movements.
'But he is a mere guard! How is a guard so strong!?' He exclaimed within his mind as he looked at the guard standing in front of him with an indifferent face as if he didn't even care.
He quickly stood but with the next movement, he felt a heavy impact on his chest which knocked him out.
The guard then stiffened his back and stood straight waiting for his next opponent.
Another person quickly entered but he was defeated in a matter of seconds.
"I wanna fight him!" The guy with muscles said as if he was ready to just enter the arena and have a life-and-death battle with the guard.
"You never miss an opportunity to show off, do you?" One of the females in the group said looking at him.
If anyone heard his words, they would naturally think he was a muscle brain, but no he wasn't.
He was a very smart and cautious person. He was arguably the smartest person in the whole family.
Anyone who met him would automatically think that he had a rare skill of future sight but no. He was just a calculating monster and his predicting ability depending on the situation was so good that people would automatically assume he had future sight.
There were only three other wolves in the family who were as smart as him. Asher and the previous head and the current head.
But there was something with him... He liked to show off the power he had.
He would never miss a chance to show off the power he possesses.
["Don't mess up this mission! And talk using telepathy."]
["Sorry leader."] Both of them quickly apologized and focused on the mission.
They were here... To kill the leader of the Barbatos clan.
The group looked at the cloaked figure sitting on the audience seat. It seemed he too was going to join the arena.
["We have to be quick."] Asher said looking at the cloaked figure who stood up and walked toward the arena.
One couldn't see his facial figure properly and his body. Well, he was skinny.
This time the guard's expression finally changed. Because he could sense it. The man in front of him was too strong.
The aura man was emitting, was comparable to one of the generals of the imperial knight.
The guard quickly channelled a lot of mana to his arms and legs. He unsheathed his sword and dashed toward his opponent
He quickly used his sword style and footwork to battle his opponent. But just as he expected, the cloaked figure merely dodged the strikes.
Others were surprised looking at the scene that was going on. The cloaked figure was casually dodging the sword.
And then what occurred in the next moment shocked most of the audience.
The cloaked figure with one swift movement of his right palm disarmed the guard and with another swift movement of his left palm, he knocked out the guard.
But what happened next was even more shocking.
["Now!"]
One of ten ladies from the group threw something as thin as a needle in lightning speed towards the cloaked figure.
The Cloaked figure quickly lifted his two fingers and trapped the needle-like object between them.
'Shit! Illusion!' But it was already too late. A real needle passed through his head and just 3 seconds later the hole in his skull disappeared
And just like that the leader of the Barbatos clan... was killed.
