Blood demon leveling

Chapter 171: Tournament

Mike looked at the man that seemed to scream 'noble' for a bit before he turned back to Gas and Mel and asked

"Where were we?"

"....Love"

"Oh right Anyway honesty and charm, and if they're a little dense then come at them a little aggressive, remember presidency is key that's my advice"

"Okay"

Mike then suddenly felt a chill and looked behind him where a woman with a great figure, long red hair in a ponytail had shown up, she glanced at Mike, Mel and Gas a bit before she suddenly seemed to have become fascinated with the stars and began looking at them instead, seemingly losing all interest in Mike and the others

'...What's with her..?'

Mike remembered that Beel had said that it's rude to stare and stopped looking at the strange woman, then he checked around the arena floor and noticed a gloomy-looking man and a woman in tight-fitting clothes that was talking with the noble-sounding guy from earlier

'That's 7 looks like we're all here'

Mike looked up at the gallery and noticed that another five shadowy people had arrived, then Beel stood up and floated down to the arena floor, when she landed she spoke

"Gather around children"

The 7 demon general candidates gathered around her, then she spoke

"We'll now hold a tournament to decided who is going to be the 7th demon general"

The atmosphere changed completely once Beel spoke those words, there was no more fun and games at this point Beel nodded before she spoke approvingly

"It's good to see that you all have the right atmosphere, but remember We're all in this war together, losing will mean annihilation for all of us any grievances will remain here forever buried"

Beel then looked at each one of the candidates in turn before she nodded

"Good, then let's get started, the first match: Demon of Blood: Mike VS Demon of Gluttony: Gas"

Mike looked over at Gas and muttered

"Gluttony Well---"

*CLANG*

Mike slid over the arena floor with the shield in front of him, he peeked over the shield and saw Gas standing there wielding a two-handed hammer over his shoulder, then he finished his sentence

"---I kinda figured that no hard feelings big man"

"And you're blood..? What's blood supposed to do against the might of my stomach?"

"Well This, [Blood domination II: Blood puppets]"

At once Gas' movements grew sluggish, then Mike looked over at Beel and asked

"How do we determine the victor?"

"By death or giving in, though none of you are able to die here, so go ahead Mike"

"...Okay then"

Mike kicked off the ground and momentarily disappeared from view before he reappeared on the other side of Gas after having sent his head flying, but then something odd happened, black tendrils shot up from the decapitated body and reconnected Gas' head as he muttered

"So Hungry"

"Are you kidding me right now..?"

Mike saw Gas' head being reconnected, though he was still bound by Mike's blood magic so his movements were sluggish, Mike dodged a swing of his hammer before he muttered

"Okay then [Blood bestowal]"

Mike dripped a drop of crimson blood onto the shield that then began vibrating as Mike grabbed it with both hands and pointed it at Gas as he spoke

"No hard feelings!"

Then a pure beam of destructive energy shot out from the shield which completely disintegrated Gas' body entirely, along with some of the arena floor, a few moments later Beel spoke out

"WInner, Demon of Blood: Mike"

Then Gas appeared next to her, he sighed before he walked over to Mike and presented his hand, Mike shook it as Gas spoke

"No hard feelings, congratulations Mike"

"Thanks, big man"

Mike and Gas walked off the arena floor as Beel announced the next fight

"Next fight, Demon of Darkness: Mel VS Demon of Pestilence: Maxwell"

The short Mel quickly took the stage as the veil of darkness seemed to intensify around her before it formed pitch-black armor and a bow that was taller than herself, then the gloomy-looking man took the stage, he carried a scythe and wore a cape, he looked rather pale

"Begin!"

As the fight started Mel kicked off the floor and propelled herself backward while firing off arrows at Maxwell that either dodged or blocked them with his scythe as he chanted in a long-dead language

"---Come my flock, [Pestelince]!"

He then spread out his cape from where countless locusts came flying out, Mike narrowed his eyes slightly as he saw this and Gas that was sitting next to him muttered

"Girly is in danger"

"Yeah That's a really bad match-up she got there"

Mel tried her best to hold off the swarm of locust by shooting them down with her arrows but eventually, she was overwhelmed and consumed by them, she didn't scream

"Winner Demon of Pestilence: Maxwell"

When Mel appeared again she was however shaking a bit and her face was pale, she didn't say anything and walked up into the gallery and sat next to Gas before she muttered

"Mike, please kill that guy"

Mike showed a smile and nodded before he spoke while looking at Maxwell

"I didn't suffer as I have just to take 2nd place"

From there Beel once again took the stage and spoke

"Next fight, Demon of pride: Alexander VS Demon of Lust: Lucy"

The shirtless noble-sounding guy jumped down from the stance and opened his hands as two shortswords appeared in his hands which he then swung around a few times before he showed a smile to the other contestant, the woman in tight-fitting clothes that wielded a whip in her hand and a dagger in the other

"Begin!"

Lucy carked her whip against the floor before a pink aura gathered around her and she yelled

"Come to me, my lovers! [Lust slaves]!"

The pink aura spread out before it condensed into countless 'people'. They all looked rather drained or rather they looked like husks and wielded a variety of weapons, they all quickly attacked Alexander that strolled towards Lucy at a rather slow pace, he didn't change his pace but still, Alexander cut down each and every one of the lust slaves that neared him with frightening precision and speed, Mike commented

"He's quite fast He must have some sort of self-reinforcement skill"

Gas nodded, and so did Mel that spoke

"...He's unpleasant though"

Gas nodded

"That he is"

Mike remained silent as he watched Alexander's movements as he cut down the lust slaves with ease before he spoke

"...This is getting boring"

Then transparent armor appeared around his upper body and his speed suddenly increased before he cut off the head of Lucy, sending it flying, then he looked up towards Mike and made a thumbs down to him before he walked back towards the gallery

"Winner, Demon of pride: Alexander"

MIke's smile was as wide as before still a hint of coldness passed through his eyes as he spoke

"...I'm going to break his legs"

Mike creaked his neck before he stood up as Beel spoke

"Next fight Demon of War: Alexa VS Demon of Blood: Mike"

Mike jumped down to the arena floor and used his tail to wield his shield and his right hand to wield the knife with the hammer in his left hand, the strange woman with a killer body jumped from the gallery, as she did her body was covered by 4 layers of thin armor as a pair of nukes appeared in her hands as she spoke

"Let's go with this..?"

"Why are you asking me?"

Alexa kicked off the ground and attacked Mike with the nunchucks, it quickly turned into a high-speed engagement along the way the nunchucks broke and was instantly replaced with a pair of Sai as Alexa quickly switched up her fighting style using the Sai, Mike quickly adapted and began pushing back Alexa that were somehow laughing under her armor as she spoke

"This is fun!"

Suddenly she exploded with speed and began to push back Mike that quickly was covered in small cuts that didn't bleed, only one cut bled and that was a cut on his left hand that soon dripped down onto the hammer as Mike showed a smile and spoke

"[Elder blood bestowal]!"

Then the hammer seemed to come alive as it opened itself up and attempted to take a bit out of Alexa that quickly took some distance then she spoke

"But I am no snack?"

Mike made a straight face and asked

"Are you sure about that?"

Then Alexa dropped the Sai and quickly a quarterstaff appeared in her hands as she spoke

"Shall we try you out next..?"

"Again, what's with the questions?"

Quickly the two of them engaged again in close combat, only this time the hammer constantly attempted to take a bit out of Alexa, something which she constantly managed to dodge with a paper-thin margin, then out of nowhere she suddenly took some distance again and spoke

"What shall we try out next..?"
