Harem Tournament of Champions-Chapter 137 Blood And Destruction
The floor raised, targeting the locations of all hobgoblins.
Giving ample time for all harem members to flee. The doors were opened.
Swinging his labrys, Aster slashed over some of their heads, letting out a cackle in delight.
Draegul let out torrents of flames, which were deflected by Hisha.
Cowering in fear, Draegul took a step back at the glare his way. 𝐟re𝐞w𝐞𝒃𝓃𝒐𝐯𝚎𝒍.c૦𝚖
"If you kill any of my harems, consider yourself dead!"
Gulp!
Draegul nodded his head in compliance, regulating his attacks as he aimed at the enemies.
Wae stood frozen, holding his ears to block off the intense noise.
"Watch out!" Mich yelled, pushing him to the floor.
Thud!
"Are you stupid?!" He hissed at Wae, punching him in the face as a wake-up call.
Snapping back to reality, Wae shook his head as he regulated his hearing to drown out the noise and focus on the intruder.
Looking over to their side, they witnessed the other tribal chiefs defending the rest of the harem who chose to flee the scene.
"It wasn't wise to target here!" Zui clicked her tongue as she created violet circles, shooting them forward.
Clearing a row of hobgoblins heading her way, she watched as they turned to ash.
"Go, Zui!!" Solara whooped.
Yagami barred her claws, running at top speed while making slashing marks over the necks of her victims.
"Hahaha!!!" She let out a burst of maniacal laughter at finally being let loose.
Her tail grabbed a hold of some of the creatures, its orange fur stabbing into the hobgoblin.
Throwing the corpse, she jumped on another, biting hard on the hand.
Pushing their way among the crowd of numerous harem members fleeing, Alta and Solara lurched at some of the hobgoblins.
Whoosh!
Boom!
Pesa searched for Hisha amidst the rising dust.
Cough!
Cough!
Pushing some of the ladies down and kicking others in spite, "get out of my way!"
'Weak idiots!' She hissed in her thoughts, disgusted by their willingness to flee instead of fighting like those who had won the previous rounds of duels.
"Lord Hisha!!!" She called out loud to his hearing.
Huff!
Huff!
Hisha whisked his head to lock eyes with Pesa.
Her blue eyes raged in fury at being the only one without access to her ability.
[It would seem...]
'I know.'
Ding!
[Ability: Extraction deactivated]
Returning Pesa's ability, her blue eyes glowed as a devious grin spread across her lips.
"Finally!" She let out a cackle, swaying her hips as she made a clenching and unclenching gesture.
'Who's going to be my first target?' She thought in a sing-song manner, easily weaving from any attack from the goblin.
Hisha's eyes roved around in awe at the destruction caused by some of his harem who fought back.
'Did I forget the bunch of crazies I got here?'
[It would seem so, you have been in different duels with a total of two by your side in a limited time frame]
Deactivating his ability, he gawked, dumbfounded by their resilience and attack power.
'Were they holding back?!'
[Would you fight the same way you would with a female?]
Hisha's mood dropped, feeling it partial to consider the female opponents as weaker or worthy of being pitied.
'If I wasn't held back by the stupid clause, I would have killed any who is a pain in the ass! Female or male.' Hisha sneered at his perceived weakness.
[The Celestials are all knowing and that must be why they had given you this clause]
"Fuck them!" He muttered out in hopes of the Celestials listening.
A flash of lightning coursed through the darkening sky.
Looking up to the sky, Hisha had a smile, feeling he was indeed being watched.
"You brought this upon me, yet you expect a smiling overlord?" Hisha muttered, shaking his head.
Kritz jumped down beside Hisha, "my lord, you see this?" 𝐟𝙧ee𝔀e𝐛𝓃𝐨𝚟𝑒𝗹.c𝗼𝚖
Pointing at the harem members, Hisha raised his head at the ladies overpowering the horde of hobgoblins.
Hisha let out a chuckle at the words, wiping down his face.
"It would seem that at least we know who's the strong lot in the rest cowards."
Kritz nodded his head.
"What do you want to do with the rest?"
Hisha looked to his side, a mischievous grin on his face. "They serve as a way to boost their status and a way for me to have more to explore on my tastes..."
Kritz coughed on the latter, not ready to be let in on the details.
Nodding his head in understanding, Hisha smiled and looked away to track the battle going on.
"Aaaaahhhh!" A Hobgoblin charged with his axe toward Hisha.
Kritz stepped in front of Hisha, ready to attack if it came anywhere close to his range.
Hisha scoffed at the attempt, preventing Kritz from stepping in by patting his shoulder.
Kritz looked back in worry, he needed to carry out his duty and be useful as he could to his lord.
"It's alright, Kritz. I need just one to sound a warning to the rest."
Stepping forward, Hisha locked eyes with the creature.
'Puny fool!'
With a raise of his hand, Hisha activated his telekinetic grip, making a clench.
Splurt!
Green blood scattered in all directions, forcing all to pause and stare at the overlord.
'I so badly wanted him to squeeze and not explode.' Hisha whined in his thoughts.
[Are you sure about that, host?]
Gasp!
There was a collective shocked gaze on the blood spill.
A loud cheerful cry erupted from the harem members. Their zeal to carry on was strengthened even though it looked as though they were gradually getting overpowered by the influx of the creatures coming from all sides of the harem.
"Protection the citizens and your territories!" Hisha ordered his tribal chiefs, wary of the attack being on a grander scale.
"But..."
Vanas swallowed his words the moment he felt a demeaning aura from Hisha overwhelm him.
'Is this the power of an immortal?!' His eyes shook in horror, dropping to his knees.
[Be calm, host]
Inhaling and exhaling, Hisha released his hold on Vanas. "I am better equipped to protect my citadel!"
"Yes, my lord." They all chorused with a bow before dispersing.
'Can these creatures talk?'
[A few can, majorly those with higher rank have the ability to]
'Perfect.'
Slowly a devious grin spread out as he lifted his hand with a crooked gesture.
Kritz took a step back, wary of the rumbling that occurred.
All targeted hobgoblins within a 20-meter radius were raised several feet away from the floor, hovering.
Alta burst out laughing, sitting on the ground and pointing at the hovering creatures.
"Sucks to be you, you ugly creatures!" She pointed mockingly at those above her.
"Really? Ugly creatures?" Solara countered in disappointment. "That's the best you could come up with?"
Pouting at being pulled down, Alta narrowed her eyes.
Pesa stared at one which was in close range.
Struggling to get a hold of its neck, Hisha released his hold on it to allow Pesa to have her way with it.
"Eeeekkk!" It screeched in conflict at its body acting on its own and to the command of Pesa.
Snap!
Pesa looked down at the creature and kicked hard at it.
Hisha stared around the arena.
The field is littered with decaying remains of hobgoblins, suits, and gore.
Green, gray, and blue are the new colors of what was once a serene field, which has now become the stage of a full-blown invasion from the hobgoblins.
The air which would normally carry the sounds of chanting or murmurs from his harem is now carrying a thick, brown dust cloud and small embers.
'What a beautiful sight, isn't it, HTC?' Hisha spread out his arms.
[Yes, blood and destruction]
"I have one question," he looked above, pointing at a random hobgoblin.
"Which one of you can speak?"
Kritz furrowed his brows in confusion, the question sounded a little off and random for creatures that were screeching.
"I know some of you can talk, if you don't want to end up like an exploding mass, I suggest you speak."
Silence!
Hisha's brows twitched in frustration at their refusal to comply, nos quiet and sharing knowing glances.
[It would seem they think you're giving nothing but empty threats]
'Why does it feel like they don't even know who or what I can do?'
[Legend has it that they were sealed by the first minotaurs. That should be a reason for the ignorance]
Creating a barrier over his harem members, he nodded his head when the transparent barrier solidified.
Zui reached out to the barrier, placing her hand gently. A ripple-like effect spread around her fingers.
'This is strong magic, as expected.' She stared in awe.
