Gifso then revealed that he khe reason behind their visit. And he quickly followed it by saying that he would hand over the magic stone if the Bck Bulls would py a game with him.

  Of course, they accepted. When Yami accepted it, Alex saw his grin grow wider.

  Gifso then said that they would have a battle royale. He called the uer Priests, and they appeared with white coats and fish masks.

  "All right then... Let the games begin!" Gifso yelled as water appeared from underground a everyone away with a powerful stream of water.In the end, everyone was separated and ended up in a cave.

  Asta grinned as he was looking forward to the game and also to beat the crap out of all the priests.

  Gifso then gave a speech about what happened and where they were. He then expihe rules of the game.

  After he expihe rules, Alex came across one of the Priests earing an octopus-shaped mask.

  "Huh, that's funny... I 't feel any magi you. you really fight?" The Priest mocked.Alex chuckled. "Tch. I want to fight that hammerhead-masked guy since he is the stro. But it seems I got the weakest."

  "You sure talk big..." The Priest ughed and summoned his grimoire but...

  *Whoosh*

  Before he could finish, Alex moved and appeared in front of the masked guy in a fsh and sliced.

  The Priest was uo read his chest got sliced open with blood splurted out as he lost sciousness, lying down on the ground.

  Alex g his wound and muttered. "I don't have time to py with you, man. So, don't take it to heart, okay?"

  The wound wasn't deep so it was not life-threatening and Alex walked over in search of the guy.

  He tinued cutting the weird fishes the High Priest created with his game magitil he came across a guy with a swordfish mask.

  The guy introduced himself as Kiato and he was as cheerful ahusiastic as Kahono, both of the siblings were very alike in nature. He also happily told Alex about his dream of being a popur dancer. He followed it by sharing that he could achieve it if they successfully took out Alex and his other friends.

  And so, he instantly attacked Alex. When he moved, water covered his swords, f a sharp bde as he danced around Alex so the tter would be uo predict his movement.

  But Alex just raised his sword and easily blocked his attacks.

  Kiato tinued his pursuit but Alex was not in a hurry as he ying with him, blog and defleg all of the attacks.

  And after waiting for around fifteen minutes, he finally felt it as a smile appeared on his face.

  He looked at Kiato who was still trying to break through his defeo nd a hit.

  "I'm sorry, man but something more important shows up so..."

  *Whoosh*

  Kiato was in the middle of charging at Alex when Alex appeared in front of him, like short-distaeleportation.

  "What the... Ugh!..."

  A powerful force smmed into his stomach, turning his insides upside down. He felt like vomiting out everything until the pain overcame his senses and he lost sciousness.

  Alex g him and sighed. "Sorry. But it's best this way."

  He then heard Yami's voice that echoed all over the temple as he was still stuck with the old man. And due to the appearance of the Vetto and the members of the Eye of the Midnight Sun, the mission had ged.

  Yami asked them to surpass their limits a them.

  Alex grinned and walked in the dire from where he could feel the presence of Vetto.When he arrived at the pce, he saw Magna and Luck using the agibiheir magid use everything they had to nd a hit oo.

  But in the end, the big was to even for both of them bined.

  Vetto stared at his hands as the mana surrounding them dissipated. He then g the fallen Magna and Luck, muttering.

  "So, you are just worms. You 't even put a scrate even if you try your best."

  He then covered his hand again with mana, giving it the shape of a cw as he charged at them."Take this despair that's called death!"

  *g*

  *Whoosh!*

  However, before he could even touch them, a massive force smmed into his shoulder.

  The power was s that it cut the ground in half alongside Vettht shoulder.

  A bloody hand flew in an ard hit the ground a hundred meters behind, lying there motionless.

  Vetto was uo react at all and by the time it seeped into his sciousness, it was already too te. Gng at his missing shoulder, Vetto screamed in pain.

  "Aarrgghhh!!"

  Not too far away, two people were running towards the ter where the battle was going on with anxious expressions.

  But they abruptly came to a halt after feeling a tremor which was followed by a bloody scream.

  "J-Just what is going on?" Noelle furrowed her brows and asked.

  Kahono narrowed her eyes and said solemnly. "It seems someone is fighting against that guy just now."

  "But who?" Noelle asked with a worried expression.

  Somewhere in a separate pce, Yami and Gifso were staring at the s with gaping mouths, uo prehend anything at all.

  "What the hell was that?" Gifso cried out, his forehead drenched i.

  Yami furrowed his brows for a moment before a familiar face popped into his mind. He grinned and rexed, taking a puff of his cigarette.

  "Don't worry, old man. Everything is going to be just fine."

  "Huh? What do you mean?"

  Yami shook his head and poi the s. "Just tio watch."

  While they were chatting, on the s, a young man with ash blond hair walked out from a path into everyone's view holding a sword in his hand.

  "We meet agaio the Despair. Last time, you escaped but this time, hehe... there is no oo interfere."

  "It's you!" Vetto gred at Alex in hatred, gritting his teeth. He had never felt so humiliated by anyone, got beaten one-sided by a human. Many painful memories fshed in his mind and a deep-rooted hatred burst out as a third eye opened oo's forehead.

  "Impressive! You really drew me out... human!!..."

  Just as the eye appeared, the entire aura of that guy transformed into something eerie and sinister. He ted an a spell and regeed his lost arm, grinning like a devil.

  "Starting now... I'll show you real despair."

  *Whoosh*

  Alex also grinned and fshed on his face, stepping on it, staring down at him.

  "You talk too much for someone so weak!"
