Chapter 66
Asta took a breath, trying to project confidence he absolutely didn't feel, and decided to just... play along. Figure out what was happening later. Right now, stop the immediate crisis."The referee just announced that the fight is over." Asta said, keeping his voice as calm and steady as he could manage. "The match is done. Finished.""Yes, my lord." Jabber responded immediately, his trembling voice carrying absolute obedience. "I know. I heard the announcement."Asta blinked. Okay, that was easy. But then why..."So why are you beating everyone up?" Asta asked, gesturing toward the four officials scattered around the ring in various states of unconsciousness or pain. "If you knew the fight was over, why did you attack them?"Jabber's gaze shifted to follow Asta's gesture, landing on the officials he'd defeated. For a moment, he seemed to have forgotten they existed, his entire focus having been on the terror of facing what he thought was the Lord Emperor Dragon. But now, seein
Chapter 65
On the ground, Jabber was still prostrated, his forehead pressed into the dirt, his whole body shaking. But he was talking,muttering to himself so quietly that only someone very close could have heard him. His voice was panicked, rushing through words so fast they almost ran together:"Oh no. Oh no, oh no, oh no. I did it again. I disrespected the Lord Emperor Dragon again. He isn't going to forgive me. He never forgives me. I thought I'd be careful this time, thought I'd keep my presence small, thought I wouldn't draw his attention, but I got cocky and played with those officials and now he's here and he knows and I'm so dead, I'm so incredibly dead."His fingers were digging into the dirt, nails scraping against packed earth. "He's going to destroy me. Going to tear me apart piece by piece. Going to remind me why he's the emperor and I'm just... just a servant who can't even follow simple orders to stay hidden. I doubt he'll show mercy. Why would he? I don't deserve mercy. I never
Chapter 64
The training yard had gone so silent that the distant sounds of the city beyond the walls seemed impossibly loud,cart wheels on cobblestones, a vendor calling out their wares, a dog barking somewhere far away. But here, in this space packed with hundreds of people, there was nothing. Just silence so thick it felt like it had physical weight, pressing down on everyone's chests, making it hard to breathe.Every single person was staring at the ring. Every eye was fixed on the impossible scene playing out before them: Jabber, who moments ago had been this terrifying force of purple-flamed destruction, was now pressed flat against the dirt in full prostration before Asta, his forehead touching the ground, his whole body trembling like a leaf in a hurricane.Mouths hung open throughout the crowd,literally hundreds of jaws dropping simultaneously in expressions of complete shock. Eyes were wide, some blinking rapidly like their owners were trying to clear away a hallucination, others just
Chapter 63
The fourth official,the one Jabber had kicked earlier,had regained his footing and was circling, trying to find an angle of attack, his sword held ready but his hands shaking slightly. He'd just watched Jabber dismantle three of his colleagues in under ten seconds and the fear on his face was unmistakable.Jabber turned to look at him, that purple flame burning bright in his dragon eyes, that too-wide smile still fixed on his blood-covered face. The dark smoke was swirling around him thicker now, almost like wings unfurling."You want to try too?" Jabber asked, his double-layered voice somehow gentle despite everything. "I admire the dedication, really. Most people would have run by now."The official swallowed hard. He was trained not to run. Trained to stand his ground, complete his mission, protect civilians even at cost to himself. But every survival instinct he had was screaming at him to get away, to flee, to put as much distance as possible between himself and this thing.St
Chapter 62
Kael, for his part, maintained his composure with visible effort. His face remained carefully neutral, giving nothing away, though his hands gripped his walking stick hard enough that Roderick could hear the wood creaking. After a long moment, Kael gave a subtle gesture,just a slight movement of his hand, but the lower officials recognized it immediately.The signal was clear: Take him. Now.The lead official nodded fractionally and turned his attention back to Jabber. The other three officials tensed, preparing to move, their hands now openly on their weapons, flames beginning to manifest around their fingers.Jabber watched this preparation with his burning purple eyes, and that smile somehow grew even more amused. When he spoke, his double-layered voice was light, almost teasing:"What makes you think I'll come with you?"The lead official's jaw tightened. He'd been hoping it wouldn't come to this, but clearly peaceful compliance was off the table. He drew his short sword smoothly
Chapter 61
The referee's face, already pale, went even whiter. His eyes darted from the official to Jabber and back again. He swallowed hard, clearly not wanting to do what he was being told to do, but training and duty overrode his fear. He nodded jerkily, then stepped forward to the center of the ring, raising his voice to be heard over the crowd noise:"Attention! Attention everyone!" His voice cracked slightly on the first word, but he pushed through. "This battle has been officially cancelled due to... due to unforeseen circumstances! All spectators are to remain seated and calm while we address the situation! There is no need for panic!"The crowd's reaction was immediate and loud:"WHAT?!""NO! NOT RIGHT NOW!""ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!""The fight was just getting interesting!" Someone yelled from the upper benches, their voice carrying across the yard. "We want to see what happens next!""Yeah!" Another person agreed. "You can't stop it now! This is the best match we've seen in months!
