The dark orb slowly started rotating with the dark energy inside growing with every spin it made.
Yuri already had her eyes on the enemy she felt she had spotted, all that she was waiting for was the right time to attack them.
"Here we go." Yuri uttered with a smile.
She was getting prepared to send her orb passing muster when suddenly, Davanchi held her hand while still looking down at the arena.
"Hold on, something isn't right." Divanchi uttered while holding Yuri's hand.
"What is it?" Yuri asked with a cold tone.
"We shouldn't make any sudden move," Davanchi advised, "If the master wanted us to attack, he would have told us earlier".
"What's your point?" Yuri raised another question, yanking her hand from Davanchi's grip before destroying her orb.
"Fine I get it, Still… What do you think the master is planning? He could destroy the whole of the arena if he wanted to, why does he feel the need to hide his ability every time?".
Davanchi focused her eyes on Sato, "I also asked myself the same question… he does things that are sometimes questionable.
His personality is one of them, sometimes he can be super serious and other times extremely playful, and most times kind even when it is not needed.
I feel there is something he knows that he isn't telling us, and if anything, I know for a fact it's something he needs to be careful about, so the question is… what is master hiding?".
....
Baam!
Sato landed on the ground, back first as the ground imploded with Sato resting in the middle.
He snorted while looking at the sky.
"Is this all? Really? My so-called rival for Erza's love is this weak?" Luke voiced out while walking toward Sato.
He was holding a silver sword and a small oval shield as he moved toward Sato's body.
Sato stood up from the ground before taking a battle stance with his fist clenched and aimed.
"Don't get so cocky!" Sato raged, dashing straight at Luke at full speed before he threw his punch.
Sato's attack was immediately blocked by Luke with his shield, leaving Sato open to an attack.
With an incredible speed, Luke used the underside of his sword to whack Sato in the stomach which instantly sent him to his knees.
Sato held his stomach as he began coughing while one of his hands was resting on Luke's leg.
Luke sighed.
"Erza!" He called out.
"Why would you choose this pathetic human to be your husband?! Look at him….he has no backbone!" Luke yelled with his eyes focused on Erza before he kicked Sato in the face.
Sato fell to the ground with blood covering his whole face.
Erza, who was watching, could barely hide the frustration she was holding inside her. Her fists had already broken the chair hand rest.
"Do you really hate me that much?" Erza muttered to herself.
"Come on, fight back." Luke shouted before smashing Sato's head to the ground with his foot.
Sato's head spewed out blood from the impact as his head crushed the ground and the earth imploded on itself.
With a smirk Luke uttered, "You're doing a pretty good job so far." Luke said to Sato.
'If I could actually feel pain, I'm sure I'd be living in hell right now.' Sato muttered to himself as he laid on the ground.
Luke suddenly tugged Sato up by grabbing his collar and pulling him close. Luke gently placed his lips near Sato's ear and whispered.
"You're going good, take a look at her…"
Sato glanced at Erza and saw the nervous look on her face, his attention was quickly swayed when he caught a glimpse of the three vampire guards standing behind Erza with a grin on their faces.
"If you do as I say, I can guarantee you I won't lay a finger on her." Luke continued.
Sato responded with a chuckle, "You sure are feeling yourself aren't you? Too bad this isn't going to go the way you think." Sato muttered.
"Seems you've forgotten, I'm the one doing the takings!" Luke suddenly yelled with a grimace. He booted Sato in the face which sent him flying halfway through the arena.
<<Damage taken has exceeded 96%>>
"Is that so? Just a little more time" Sato said as he stood up from the ground. He cleaned the blood on his face and stood his ground as Luke charged toward him.
...…
[Flash back]
Sato walked out of his room with Yuri and Davanchi following behind him as they headed toward the arena.
Right after Erza came to inform him about the fight that would hold, she left to take her seat in the area, awaiting Sato's fight.
Even though a part of him didn't want to do it, Sato knew that he had to have a victory over Luke for his plan to progress.
While they were walking, Yuri voiced out, "Master, I understand that you want to go along with their stupid rules, but why do you have to fight for other people's entertainment?" She asked.
"This is not my land, neither am I of an high status to go against the tradition they had set for themselves, I am but a visitor, I have no right to question them." Sato replied.
"But…"
"And besides, I chose to get engaged to Erza, so it's pretty much a given at this point." Sato added.
"Damn that blood sucking liar, I'm sure she's getting her own fill of fun from this." Yuri muttered.
Sigh*
"Master, I agree with Yuri, this whole thing feels fishy." Divanchi uttered, "What if it had been planned?".
'I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.' Sato said to himself, but before he could respond he met someone suddenly showing up in front of him.
Luke was standing in front of him, with a female Vampire standing behind him.
"You must be Sato Inugami,... A double name? I can already tell you are scum to the letter." Luke uttered while sending death threats at Sato.
Sato was calm and didn't react, instead he responded, "I don't think I know who you are".
"The name is Luke, son of the sect leader of the forever knight, Lord Gidz…" Luke introduced.
'Forever knights?' Sato questioned.
<<The Forever knights are special soldiers placed under the Demon lord, to keep balance of the kingdom>>
'Oh I see.' Sato said to himself, he looked Luke in the eye and asked, "So, do you need something?" He asked.
"Yes actually… I want you to drop out of the fight and go back to where you came from." Luke asserted with an angry look in his eyes.
