( The next day )
Rudra and Naomi said their good-bye to Max and returned to Earth, as Max joined Anna in the stands to watch today's finals.
" Where's Sebastian? "
" Sebastian? ".
Max and Anna asked each other at the same time, as the two were clueless as to where their friend had gone.
" With Thor, he has taken a trip to the thunder nation ". A voice said from behind as both Max and Anna turned to find Severus sitting behind them.
" Popcorn? " Severus offered with a smile
" What the hell, when did you arrive? ". Anna asked, still shocked as to how he appeared out of nowhere, while Max only sighed deeply.
" Severus, you have to STOP appearing out of nowhere man, it's creepy ". Max said for the millionth time but he knew that his words had 0 effect on the man.
" Hahaha " Severus laughed like a psycho, as Max and Anna gave up and turned back to face the arena.
The first contestant to walk out was her opponent, the golden girl, the angel race warrior ' Ferial'
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLustful boys howled like a hound when she stepped onto the stage as the temperature in the arena definitely felt like it went up by a notch.
Ferial was one of those warriors that although being extremely skilled love to show-off a lot, as everything about her from her epic rated yet revealing equipment to her fighting style screamed glamour.
" What's the point of wearing an Armour when you don't even cover your abdomen and let your navel show?
Isn't it just a substitute push-up bra then to support your boobs? " Anna said, disgusted by how revealingly Ferial dressed.
Max smiled, he did not mind Ferial displaying her slender legs and slim waist at all, he appreciated all of god's beautiful creations as they were meant to be appreciated.
" Hmmm " Max hummed with satisfaction as Ferial opened her wings and took it to the skies as he being seated on the lower end of the seating arena saw a nice view of her bottom.
It was at this moment that Max felt someone's sharp glare falling on him, as he looked on the stage to find Asiva staring straight at him.
' Shit ' Max thought as he instantly wiped the stupid grin off his face and looked Asiva in the eye.
" All the best! " Anna shouted from beside him but before Max could utter a word, Asiva turned away.
" Young love, so touching ". Severus commented from behind as he munched on some popcorn and pretended to wipe off fake tears as both Anna and Max gave him a weird look.
*******
( Meanwhile Asiva )
' Stupid bitch, I'll kill you ' Asiva cursed in her mind the moment she found Max starting at the woman.
Before the fight she had nothing personal against the woman, but now this fight just became a hell lot personal for her.
Apart from being an exhibitionist, Ferial was one of the most broken fighters in the academy and undoubtedly the strongest.
Her racial stats and ability to fly made her a fearsome opponent, however, the real kicker was her near in-exhaustible mana reserves.
She was a S rated class called Flying Warlock fighter and her class specific attacks packed a big punch against individual fighters.
She was a 12-1 favourite to win this fight, and almost the entire crowd was convinced that this fight was going to be a squash.
Only a handful of people beleived that Asiva would win and amongst them was one Severus Saint Maximus.
" So, kids what do you think, how long will the fight last ? ". Severus asked curiously
" It will be a long fight, although Asiva is at a disadvantage, she will give a tough fight ". Anna speculated
" I think the advantage will be established early into the fight, the person who controls the tempo will win the fight eventually". Max said, expressing his views
" Haha, I say it will end in just two moves " Severus said with confidence
" Just two? Give your god-daughter more credit Severus… " Anna was about to rage off but was cut off by Max who said " Anna, I think he means a two moves win for Asiva "
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm" What? " Anna said, sounding suspicious, however, Severus only smiled in response
" I don't know why, but yesterday over dinner brother also said the same thing ". Max said, now frowning as he watched the fight closely as if he would miss something big if he accidentally blinked.
The referee had explained the rules and both the fighters were now walking back towards the white spots now, as the moment they reached there and faced each other the start of the fight was announced much to the pleasure of the thunderous audience.
********
( Meanwhile Asmodeus )
Asmodeus woke up in chains and surrounded by priests as he seemed to be inside some carriage.
" Filthy demon, what master do you serve? " A priest asked him, hatred visible in his eyes
" Go fuck yourself " Asmodeus replied as he tried the sturdiness of his bounds only to find them way beyond the capabilities of the body he was currently in.
" Mashrini Hasvulla, Etta, Masha re hubalala " A priest chanted in the old demonic language and threw holy water over Sebastian's body.
" Bleh, cough ". Asmodeus coughed out some holy water that had entered forcefully through the nose, the water leaving a bad taste in his mouth.
" Old bald fat priest, your demonic is worse than a four year olds so please stop murdering our language.
I'm not the kind of demon that you can exorcise in the name of Odin ". Asmodeus said with a blatant disregard for the priests pride which seemed to be hurt by his words.
" Impudent demon, let's see if you can continue this nonchalance infront of the Grand Priest! ". The fat priest said as he poured the bottle of holy water over Asmodeus's head, much to the irritation of the ancient demon.
This time Asmodeus had been caught badly, although the fat priest was useless, he needed to try and escape before the thunder nation brought someone over that was actually capable of removing him forcefully from Sebastian's body.
