Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 103 Elimination Round Concludes (1)

In a few more minutes, all battles were over. Samuel calmly walked down the area and went to his seat. By his expression, one can notice that he didnʼt think much of his fight just now.

More groups continued going on the arena and fight. After one more hour, another group was called. Audience focused their attention because in this group, Dalton and Vincent were also called.

Dalton kept glancing toward Vincent, his expression was anxious that he tried to cover by acting natural, in order to keep his image intact.

However, many still noticed his worry and looked at him in derision. But none mocked him for it. They could understand his plight and were more than happy to see a hypocrite and arrogant young master panic like this. 

When the candidates were assigned to different arenas, Dalton sighed in relief seeing that Vincent wasnʼt his opponent. He didnʼt want to face Vincent in this recruitment because he knew that Vincent wouldnʼt care whether he is the young master of Dalton family given his personality and would beat him like a dog.

”Oh isnʼt this young master of dalton family? How lucky i am to be matched with you! Now i donʼt need to worry about winning this first fight of elimination round. Hahaha!” His opponent laughed.

Daltonʼs attention shifted to the man. He frowned and asked ”Who are you?”

”Aish! Iʼm hurt that young master Dalton do not recognise me.” The man put his hand above his heart and acted hurt. However, his tone suggested that he didnʼt took him seriously and even looked down on him.

Dalton felt fury rising in his heart. Why was everyone being so cocky in front of him now-a-days? Did they think he was a pushover?

”Die.”

Dalton shouted and dashed toward him as his fist covered in layers of earth, making it thicker, harder and stronger. After the big arena was divided into hundred smaller ones, each arena were in square shape with 50 meters of length and breadth.

The man was standing near the middle therefore Dalton reached him before he could react and punch at his chest with his 91 unit of maximum attack power.

The man who was laughing just now looked at him disbelief and face turned pale. He shouted ”You bastard, you dare to attack me. Iʼm with Marquis Aldvaʼs–” 

Unfortunately for him, Dalton had attacked in anger and wasnʼt in mood to hear who he was. Before he could finish his sentence, Vincentʼs giant earthen fist landed on the his chest and blasted it apart. Organs flew everywhere and a wide hole was opened in his chest. His body flew through the air and collided heavily on the formation wall. His breathing stopped. He was dead.

Audience stared wide eyes at the ghastly sight before erupting in cheers.

”This young master of Dalton family is not bad.” A man commented. Just he as said this, he received many disgusted glares. He smiled wryly and didnʼt comment further.

”He usually carry himself like a gentleman. That guy must have been his enemy. Thatʼs why he didnʼt go easy on him.” A woman nodded as if realising something.

”Fierce. Although he doesnʼt have strength of an unrivalled, his strength isnʼt something a normal Two-star mage can rival.”

”You did well, young master.”

”It was a great fight.” Some of his lackeys also started cheering loudly.

Max also nodded his head. Even though this guy was narcissistic, he has a good strength and despite having Earth element, his speed was quite fast. If Max hadnʼt raised his agility to 50 points and he met in the arena. He feared that before he could even cast a fireball, he would be dead.

”...”

However, Dalton wasnʼt in the mood to enjoy audienceʼ appreciation like he usually did. He was looking at the dead man with furrowed eyebrows.

ʼMarquis Aldva? Was he related to Marquis Aldva? Thatʼs why he was being so cocky. Fuck! What Iʼm I going to do now?ʼ His face lost all its color after recalling the manʼs last words.

He knew that the daughter of Marquis Aldva has come to Zexin city for this recruitment. He even went to meet her and make a good image of himself in front of her, however, her guards said that she wasnʼt meeting anyone. So, he had to give up on that. 

He knew that an heir of a Marquis wasnʼt someone that even a powerful family like his would dare to offend in normal circumstances.

However, Now he has killed someone related to her. How was he going to explain it to her if she came for revenge.

He knew that if she really comes for revenge, not even his family can save him. He then looked toward the man who he just killed. Seeing that the man didnʼt look someone of much importance he thought ʼMaybe I can still avoid trouble if I can apologise before she came to find me.ʼ

He wanted to go out right now and apologise to her for killing her man but he couldnʼt do so before everyoneʼs fights finished and they these formation walls opened.

ʼThis fucking bastard!ʼHe glared hatefully at the dead body of the man.

....

Just below the envoys sitting arena, A group of noble looking people sat. There were both men and women in this group. Even though they looked to be of high standing, everyone was trying to boot-lick the girl sitting in the middle of the group.

She was beautiful but not comparable to girls like Flavia and Lilly, there were some girls in this group who were a bit more pretty than her. However none could match her in terms of temperament.

She sat there, casually accepting their flattery however her face didnʼt show any arrogance a daughter of a powerful Marquis normally should have. Everyone looked less in comparison to her. This girl was the only daughter of Marquis Aldva.

”Young lady Rashmi, why are you in this regional recruitment when you could simply join any academy you want with your talent and lord Marquisʼ authority?” A woman around her age asked curiously.

Rashmi shook her head ”Itʼs not that, Iʼm just here to–”

She was interrupted before she could complete her sentence by a stoic looking woman in silver robes. She bowed in front of her and said ”Young lady, That arrogant bas–... Cough I mean that guy from your motherʼs side was killed in the elimination round.”

”Oh? Who was he up against?” Rashmi asked, she couldnʼt focus on fights because the people around her countinued talking to her. However, She knew that although that guy was too arrogant, his strength was quite good. So it shouldnʼt be easy task for someone in the same realm to kill him. And even if he was matched up against someone he couldnʼt win against, given his shameless personality he should have forfeited from the battle.

”It was some young master of Dalton family of this Zexin City.” The woman replied.

”Okay donʼt worry about it. Iʼll handle it.” Rashmi casually said.

”Yes young lady.” The woman retreated after a slight nod.

....

Back on arena, Vincent was in a different arena. His opponent was peak Two-star mage, however he didnʼt have any element awakened. Even then he was quite powerful. Max assumed him to be comparable to the butler George.

He had used a defensive spell just as fight started and erected a mana bubble around him. He knew that Vincent was very powerful. This defensive bubble was his familyʼs treasured spell and it could negate 70 percent power of any attack from any opponent that wasnʼt too much stronger than him.

Vincentʼs strength was almost the same as him if he didnʼt use his element. Vincent could have finished the fight early if he used his element but he was fighting him without using it.

BANG BANG BANG BANG

He launched a flurry of punches at his opponentʼs mana bubble.

His opponent was confused as to why Vincent hadnʼt used his full strength yet. After seeing that his opponent was Vincent, knew that his winning chances were very slim.

Therefore, He only wanted to show off his prowess in front of the envoys in hopes that they will notice him and might select him. However, When he saw that Vincent wasnʼt fighting him with his full strength, he became ecstatic and casted two powerful spells at the same time. If he could make Vincent struggle a bit, his impression on envoys will be much more.

”Restrictive chains!”

”Mana spears!”

Chains materialised and coiled around Vincentʼs feet and restricted his movements. Then Lethal looking spears materialised around the man. He waved his hand and they shot toward Vincent.

Feeling impending danger, Vincent stopped his crazy assault at the mana bubble and used his element. His body glowed, he punched at the chains and all of them broke into pieces.

He then jumped two meters to his left side, successfully evading the spears.

He the glared at the man. With a stomp, he shot toward him. The man noticed his murderous look and quickly raised with hand and shouted ”I give u- ughhh...”

BANG

Before he could say the word up Vincentʼs fist had struck him in the stomach. He coughed up a mouthful of blood and shot toward the formation walls. 

However before his body could crash into the wall, he felt a hand on his back that stop him from crashing. He turned his neck to look at the person behind with his blurry eyes and the light in his eyes dimmed and he fainted.
