Chapter 311: The First Arena Laid Out
"Each team will be designated their own version of the King and the Joker King. The stakes of the battle are dramatically heightened by these roles. Should the King fall at any point, the game concludes instantly, granting the opposing team automatic progression to the next round." Taking a short breath before he went on.
"The defeated team will then be thrust into a merciless death battle amongst themselves until only four members remain. These survivors will advance further in the competition."
"Conversely, the elimination of the Joker King triggers a dire consequence. I, personally, will administer a severe penalty to the responsible contestants, significantly impairing their ability to compete."
"The allotted time for this first Arena is 96 hours. Should both Kings remain standing at the end of this period, they will engage in a decisive one-on-one combat. The victor of this duel secures the win for their team, and following tradition, a death battle will ensue."
"In conclusion, we will examine the contributions from each of the (7) continents towards the Arena of Life this season, highlighting the global investment in this unprecedented event."
"Continent 1, known as the Main Land, stands as the Heian Kingdom's crown jewel. From this region, 30 participants have been chosen to represent its valor, including one formidable figure known as the Returned Demon, captured by the esteemed Yun-Jin."
"Continent 2, the Support Land, acts as the Kingdom's steadfast right hand. It contributes 15 brave participants, each ready to uphold the glory of the Heian Kingdom." Find your next read on мѵʟ
"Continent 3, another Support Land, is esteemed for its military prowess. This territory, dedicated to combat training, has been a loyal ally to the Heian Kingdom since its inception, offering 10 participants to the Arena of Life."
"Continent 4, once known as the Rebelled Zone, marks a land that previously stood in opposition to the Heian Kingdom. After over a century of reflection and repentance, this land played a pivotal role in establishing peace and order within the Kingdom. Now, it proudly presents 15 participants."
"Continent 5, the Distant Zone, lies far from the heart of the Heian Kingdom but has never wavered in its loyalty. Always contributing to the fight against rebellion with generous donations, this land has brought forward 15 participants to the grand event."
"Continent 6, the Trialled Zone, which to this day has had issues with authority in the hidden levels and has constantly tried to follow a path of worship to the Heian Kingdom but struggled the most. But they are on the right path, and this year, they have the second most participants among all continents to show this, with 25."
"Last with Continent 7, the Damned Zone, to this day, they have constant overturned leadership, but with much brute strength and bloodshed, they have been quelled and become understanding that the Heian Kingdom is the only right and just form this world needs."
"They have brought forth the fewest with 5 participants, but among the 5 include the region's strongest warrior, Alexander the Mighty, who hopes to challenge me one day."
"Ty watched on with his hands clasped between his chin, absorbing all the information laid out in front of him."
The King offered a big grin and stated, "As I am aware, the big buzz of this the Arena of Life overall this year has been the emergence of the Demon who calls himself Ty Hockenson and wields the black flames as history has showed us.'"
"I have brought forth a prisoner and contestant in this year's Arena of Life so he may account what this vile creature is like and what you may have to look forward to while watching him fight further."
The King signaled toward the Old Man and his mentor dressed in a white suit and tie, sporting dark tan skin and curly hair with a scarred smile. As they approached, they both greeted the king by offering a quick bow.
The King handed the microphone off to the Old Man as the King stated, "It is a shame to see someone like you fall so far. I hope you don't die and find a way forward, young man."
The Old Man chuckled and stated, "As do I, Your Majesty," giving a slight bow before turning toward the broadcast.
"Good evening, everyone. It's with great pleasure I am able to introduce myself as one of the 99 contestants in this year's bloodbath! I have had the great pleasure of observing the Demon Boy—how he sleeps, acts, and generally does weird things."
"I think I would like to dispel some beliefs about him and would even take this time to warn anyone thinking about betting money on him or assisting him. We all saw his fight at the Dome against that fodder, Fernando. I mean, I can't be the only one shocked to see a demon struggle with an overhyped lightning bolt."
"Besides that, my time with him showed he is full of insecurities and does not even want to fight. I don't like talking down about someone I will be clashing with later, but I am looking out for all you great betters looking to build wealth and support this great kingdom."
"But, I will say this. If you are watching this broadcast, Mr. Demon Boy, I am shocked to say I have seen more care in your eyes than I have seen in some of the Kingdom of Heian in a long time. While I don't see you surviving long in this world, I can say your thoughts will live on when I take my seat back and get my revenge against a certain man."
"But if for some reason I shall fall short, I ask of you one request: please take his other eye for me!"
With a bow, he stepped back from the camera. His mentor, maintaining a calm demeanor, then stated, "Thank you to all who decide to donate to the former military specialist. He might be stripped of his rank, but his power remains all the same, and you can expect a uniqueness from him."
"As someone who has fought alongside him during the rebellions, off and on, throughout our lives, I believe it would be not only morally but also logically wise for you to allocate your main donations to him."
With a respectful bow, he stepped away, making room for Javlin to approach the broadcast. She adjusted her hair before speaking.
"Thank you both for sharing your insights and providing the world with the inside perspective it has been craving about Ty."
"Well, that will conclude tonight's broadcast. Stay tuned for highlights of other fights from around the world. Starting tomorrow, and until the contestants move out to the Support Land in the third continent, we will be preparing the stage to minimize any damage to housing. But, as we all know, that's one of the highlights everyone looks forward to!"
"Stay tuned tomorrow to meet the first 20 contestants and get ready for the biggest year ever!"
