A few people amongst the crowd swell like a big balloons and a cloud of dark smoke surrounded them making their aura surge. Soon expanding into a huge mass, all of them started to explode, startling the noble people on the seats.
Kevin's expression chilled witnessing the crimson mist engulfing the nearby people.
"Frank!"
A low chilling voice emerged from Kevin's lips and his white pupils glowed as he spoke in a stern voice
Frank's body moved leaving behind images. With him at the centre, tremendous magic power poured out from his body covering the entire stadium.
A bluish mana erupted and encased Kevin.
[Time Dilation]
The moment he used his bloodline ability, the world around him started to slow down to the point that it looked as if everything had ceased to move.
Behind Frank, a blizzard raged over, turning the weather chilly and covering the sky with dark clouds.
With Frank covering Kevin with his power, everything started to slow down in his eyes.
With a snap of his finger, Kevin condensed the fiery crimson explosion
A whitish mass of icy magical energy hovered above Kevin and from that mass, countless masses of ice chains shot out towards different directions.
The swollen ball-like people were caught in the chain and pulled out like junk. A look of bafflement shone on their face seeing their body getting dragged down but unable to do anything.
They could feel their body moving towards the sky but it was too fast for their senses to make a reaction.
Kevin stared at the 59 people with a cold gaze that wanted to hack these traitors to several pieces.
"Henry, deal with them."
As soon as Kevin's words fell, a faint hoarse voice akin to an ancient monster echoed in the stadium making the swollen 59 people shudder in fear.
[Engulf]
Tentacles of darkness sprouting out from the ground, wrapped the people into the cloak of darkness and pulled them down into a shadowy area, where they disappeared out of thin air as if they never existed.
The time returned to normal, and the people who were screaming suddenly stood there in dismay seeing no explosion occurring around them.
With a wave of Kevin's hand, the fire spreading subsided and the damage was negated.
The nobles and the people borough along them had hardly taken an air of relief when a dense pressure weighed on their shoulders.
Many unable to bear the mighty pressure collapsed onto the ground while many were knocked uncious directly.
"What is going on now?!"
"Damn, I shouldn't have come here!"
"I knew something was wrong!"
Screams of grievance and panic erupted from the nobles as they felt their life hanging below a sword.
"How rude of you? You resolved that so easily. At least take pity on our effort and give us some face.''
A sweet angelic voice of a girl echoed in the air that gave the impression that everything was over.
However, they knew this wasn't over because as soon as things calmed down, a huge shadow was cast over the stadium.
Kevin raised his chin and saw a huge body of a dark scaly bird appear above them carrying three people on its back.
On it was a huge bulky burly man standing there with a calm demeanor. Beside him stood a frail thin young man wearing specs that exuded a mysterious air and in between the two...
"A kid.."Kai, who was watching the show quietly, suddenly spat the cigar seeing a small girl of 130 feet that looked to be around 13 years old wearing a princess dress and holding a pink umbrella.
Kia blinking his eyes in confusion drove away the smoke around him and spoke in disbelief.
"Kid, what are you doing here, don't you have school to go to? Quickly leave. Your parents might be dead worried about you."
"Damn it, I was about to say the same thing. You stole my line!" Kevin hit his thigh shouting angrily.
Pffttt!
Not only Frank but even the two men on the other side almost coughed blood.
"Are you all an idiot? How can you take her as a small girl? She is just a midget and is a legal loli." Frank screamed.
The small girl who had a sweet smile felt like she got stabbed in her heart once again causing her to stamp her feet angrily.
"How dare you all bully me?"
"Don't you know that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover? Are you the Dukes or hooligans?"
"I am Shana. One of the board members of Omen.I am gonna kill that guy."
As she screamed while throwing her umbrella, a white snowy round face with blonde hair appeared in their eyes but what startled them was many pairs of stitches over her face as if her face had been stitched.
Just a look from her was enough to stir their hearts in fear.
If previously many had thought her as cute, now they wanted to run away. Even Kai's heart was in turmoil seeing her.
"I will kill you."
"Shana, calm down, they didn't mean it. Don't act like a child for real.''Andreas, the burly man spoke and consoled her.
"They are right about that. According to my hypothesis, they mistook you as a child because of your childish outfit."Zod, the frail and thin man muttered.
"Shut up, first I will deal with Duke Kai and turn him into my puppet."
As soon as her words fell, a terrifying pressure emerged from her and after a moment, a coffin appeared and someone finally walked out from it.
Seeing this, everyone's lips twitched, seemingly a bit scared and disgusted by this thing, especially the girls who were looking at this.
Because what came out was neither a human nor a monster.
It was a scarecrow covered in the skin of the monster but the most special feature was its exposed eyeball that was stitched over the straw face looking terrifying to the extreme followed by a mechanical beak that emitted a shrill ear-splitting sound.
It wasn't an ordinary puppet. Rather , it was a 9-Star puppet that was enough to give a sense of dreariness.
"Girl, I must say. Your taste is quite weird. Instead of playing with dolls, you are playing with scary puppets. Haa! Kid nowadays," Kai spoke with a baffled look.
Shana's face heated up in anger.
"Scarecrows, hack this asshole into pieces. I want to use this guy as my puppet."
BOOM!
Letting out a sonic blast, the scarecrow dashed towards Kai holding its scythe.
"Let's take it outside."
As their figures disappeared, Kevin stared at Andreas.
"Do you also want to do the same?"
"Yes, I came here to exchange some blows. As you know, fights at our level are mostly undecided unless you want to destroy a part of the Empire."Andreas spoke with a smile.
"I also want to challenge Duke Frank to test my theories. I have heard so much about the time abilities of Frost and wanted to try out their attacks personally."Zod nudged his speck and spoke with a scholarly vibe.
Frank stared at him with a solemn expression. As per the known information, this guy quite mysterious and was quite tricky to deal with.
With a small nod, the six figures disappeared into the sky.
Back in the VIP room, a man named Leo stared at the sky with an inexplicable gaze.
"These guys. They are still messing around at this age."Leo clicked his tongue in disbelief.
"Somethings never change."A hoarse somber voice echoed.
A mass of shadow wriggled from which an old man wearing a dark vest appeared. Following him, the image of a man dressed in full armour from head to toe flickered in the room who bowed before Leo.
"Lord Heney, how is your ghost clan doing Brian, it seems you fit in your new role."
"Chief Leonard, it feels nice to see you again."Brian kneeled before Leonard to greet him.
"Hey, don't do this. I have already retired. You are the current Chief of Imperial Knights so you can't stain the prestige of Knights."Leonard spoke with a smile and then turned around to give Henry the Leader of Ghost Clan a simple nod.
"Kid Leo, you have aged a lot," Henry spoke with a small smile.
"It's the twist of time. I am just a mere fish in this mass ocean of fate."Leonard shook his head with a bitter smile.
The entire room turned silent for a moment as a look of reminiscent flashed over Leonard's face.
"Don't say this, My Lord. I, Brian, am just a mere servant of the Lord. If you hadn't ordered me to stop looking for you and serve as the next Chief of Imperial Knights, I would have been serving you."
"Let's stop this now. You all need to be on alert. They have drawn out the enemies and some would surely take this chance to eat...Wait!"Leonard's expression distorted as sudden realization hit him.
There naturally needs to be a command centre that would sort out things behind their back.
Brian and Henry were good at taking care of the mess, however…
Noticing Henry and Brian's flustered expression, Leonard felt deja vu.
"Kevin, you son of bitch. You want me to see things here while you play around."Leonard roared and kicked his feet making the floor crack.
"It seems someone had informed him about that visit."
Just as Leonard was lamenting and talking a bit, the screen in the stadium flashed and the image focused.
A boy with dense black hair and golden eyes appeared emitting a blood-red aura.
The battle began immediately and another boy holding a dual sword rushed toward him only to get pushed back after the first clash.
"This boy…He looks familiar as if I have seen him somewhere."
Brian coughed and whispered softly.
"Chief, that's your son."
Leonard's eyes popped out of their socket and his jaw dropped to the ground.
"Holyshit!"
"What the fuck?!! He looks like a mini Vanessa!"
Hearing Leonard's bewildered scream, Henry and Brian gave him a sympathetic look.
