Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Chapter 363 - The Aftermath Of The First Semi-final Match

Seeing the two contestants on the ground Henrietta ordered some people to take them to the infirmary. It was such a normal order that no one expected what happened after. The moment the people who were going to carry the two came near Lara and Valdel\'s bodies the two unconscious people attacked those that came close.

It was a good thing that they didn\'t attack to kill and instead made their opponents faint. After they were done attacking both Lara and Valdel\'s bodies fell back into their fainted states. The audience were amazed by how swift Valdel and Lara were able to subdue the men while unconscious no less.

While Henrietta was troubled about what to do, a couple of women alongside Natasha appeared on the stage. The three were Nika, Zwei, and the girl who used to be possessed by a primordial demon Meline.

When the four girls approached Valdel he reacted the same way as he did with the others. Yet unlike the others, the three girls were used to Valdel being like this. The moment Valdel got close enough Zwei blocked his path. The unconscious Valdel was about to subdue Zwei but before he could do anything Natasha had summoned her divine weapon and wrapped Valdel in the steel wires.

The unconscious Valdel couldn\'t escape and once again stopped moving, the group did the same thing to Lara who acted in a similar manner. After they were done moving the two away, Zwei faced the audience and bowed her head before following Natasha and the others.

Henrietta and the audience were silent as they watch the unusual scene that happened before their very eyes.

"I-I guess that\'s it, now that the two contestants are out of the stage we can clean it up. While we clean up it\'s time for a break, the next fight will be held in the afternoon." After announcing that Henrietta headed out of the arena.

…

During the break, the crowd started talking about the incredible fight they had witnessed. Most of them couldn\'t follow what happened but they were excited nonetheless. The students of the various magic academies on the other hand were analyzing the match.

"So you can train your swordsmanship to that degree. If swordsmen were all that strong wouldn\'t spells be irrelevant?"

"Didn\'t you see that he used more mana than the usual high tier spell? A high tier spell and the moves he did were of similar strength, but his techniques were faster to activate while it takes a very long time to activate high tier spells. Still, the drawback to his techniques is that it uses too much mana than high tier spells. Also, high-tier spells have more uses other than destruction. So in my opinion overall if it\'s a fight they\'re still equal with their own merits and demerits."

"Who cares about that, the real power came from that adventurer girl who uses her fist. She didn\'t need any weapons and with just her body alone she was so powerful. Also, she was faster than the swordsman. If they had a similar level of mana supplies or if she was even remotely close to that guy\'s ludicrous supply of mana then she would\'ve been the winner. Didn\'t you guys see what happened? Even though the mana she released was a few levels lower than Valdel\'s sword slash, Lara\'s punch was still able to hold its own. I\'m sure that if they both released a similar amount of mana Lara\'s punch would have won. Not to mention using one\'s body to fight is manly as heck!"

"Now that you say it I guess your right."

"Also isn\'t it cooler to fight with your fist than play with a long stick?"

"What the heck are you talking about?"

"Did everyone forgot that this is a magic tournament?"

While the discussions among the people were heating up, back in the infirmary Natasha and the others placed Valdel and Lara onto the beds. Since they were being bound by Natasha\'s wires the physicians were able to get close without being attacked.

After inspecting their bodies the physicians were surprised that they were no fatal wounds only a few scratches and bruises. In fact, some of the other wounds were already being healed by their natural regenerative qualities.

\'How could they fight such a battle without sustaining any serious injuries?\'

"How are they?" Natasha asked the physicians.

"There\'s nothing wrong with their bodies, they only sustained minor injuries. They\'re sleeping now because of the loss of mana and stamina. After resting for a bit they should be feeling better once they wake up."

"I see, thank you."

"There\'s no need to thank us we haven\'t done anything at all. I still can\'t believe that these two aren\'t that hurt at all, watching that fight I was expecting them to be seriously injured. The bodies of these two have been trained to an incredible degree and the way they unconsciously circulate their mana to heal their wounds as they sleep is unbelievable." The head physician spoke with a sparkle in his eye, he wanted to study the bodies of Lara and Valdel to see if there were more secrets hidden within their bodies.

When Natasha saw that sparkle in the head physician\'s eyes she stood between him and the unconscious bodies of Lara and Valdel. Seeing the glare Natasha was showing him the head physician backed away and coughed dryly.

"So they just need to rest, they can stay here for now." After saying that the head physician and the others with him quickly left.

Natasha sighed as she watched the scurrying backs of the head physician\'s group. \'As expected of the people of the Serbek Kingdom. These guys have only research in their brains, so I sometimes wonder why the heck are they always picking a fight with the Reschbeauch Kingdom.\'

…

After two hours of waiting the people returned to the arena to watch the second semi-final match between Natasha and Hime. Unlike this morning before the semi-final matches started, the crowd was now in a state of frenzy… Most of the people were unaware that their emotions were irregularly heightened, and continued to feel more and more excited, angered, saddened, and other emotions.
