I Became the Demon King of Lust

"Ha…"

That was all that Kaito and Blaze could say when they came back.

That was because their luck with the draws really were bad.

In this round of thirty two, out of all the people that they could have drawn…they were actually matched with each other.

It was a fight between Kaito and Blaze, one that no one would have expected.

However, it would certainly be an interesting fight since they both used flames.

At the same time, Hayate and Claire were matched with one from Kaito's group.

This was a fight between members of the same guild, but it was almost expected since we had the most number of people in the top thirty two in the first place.

We had a total of ten people, six from my group and four from Kaito's group, so it was to be expected that we would be matched with each other. But for so many of us to be matched with each other…it really was considered bad luck.

Long Shui Ling, Bing Xin, and the last member of Kaito's group had a better draw that they were matched with people that we had never interacted with before.

The other fight that was interesting was a fight between Alex and Julius.

It seemed that they hadn't been lucky either and had been matched with each other.

But there was nothing that could be done since it was a fair drawing in the end.

If they wanted to blame anything, they could only blame their bad luck.

…

The next morning, it was time for the second round.

The first fight of the day was actually Blaze versus Kaito.

Before they entered the stage, neither of them had talked to each other.

Since leaving the hotel, it was as if they had come to a mutual understanding and had avoided each other. It wasn't that they weren't friends anymore, but rather they acknowledged each other and the power that the other had.

It was only when they stepped onto the stage that they faced each other again.

Standing there on the stage, the two of them looked at each other with stern looks on their faces.

With how they were facing each other like that, it almost seemed like they were about to swing punches at each other at any moment. But they didn't do that in the end.

All they did was reach their hands out in front of them and grab each other's hand to give a firm handshake.

Right after the handshake, they jumped back to the edge of the arena and started releasing their flames. They didn't even bother waiting for the judge to tell them to go as they were already preparing for the fight.

The judge shook his head with a bitter smile before saying, "Go."

But of course, no one paid attention to him.

The crowd was shocked by the amount of flames the two of them created, but it was clear one side had the crowd's attention more.

Kaito's black flames really were eye catching compared to Blaze's normal red flames.

The black flames seemed like they would be more powerful than the normal red flames, but that wasn't the case. After all, Blaze had been working with Kaito the entire time, so he knew just how strong Kaito's black flames were.

Naturally, his flames would also be strong if they could work with these black flames.

Once they had finished gathering their flames, they suddenly charged at each other.

The two waves of flames came right at each other before suddenly clashing in the middle of the stage. There were flames that suddenly burst forth into the sky, forming a pillar that was half red and half black, reaching all the way to the clouds.

With the way that they exploded into the sky, there was even a hole that was punched in the clouds in the sky.

That was just how powerful their flames were.

But it wasn't as if the flames were only going up…they also went all around the two of them.

There was a moment where the audience was terrified by the flames that were coming at them, but that fear quickly disappeared. That was because they saw that the flames were blocked by something in front of them.

There seemed to be this invisible barrier in front of them that stopped the flames, allowing them to let out a sigh of relief.

After the fear subsided, excitement quickly took over.

This kind of flashy fight was naturally something that everyone enjoyed watching.

After the flames subsided a bit, they could see Blaze and Kaito just standing there in the middle. The two of them had their flames wrapped around themselves as they punched each other.

It wasn't that they were fighting properly, but rather they just stood there exchanging blows.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

No, it wasn't even a proper exchange of blows.

They just stood there punching each other one after another. It seemed that they were taking turns hitting each other and the one that fell would be the one that lost.

It was like one of those movies where rivals fighting just took turns hitting each other.

With each blow that was struck, there was a burst of flames that spread behind the person that was hit. This was a demonstration of just how much power was in the fist that hit that person.

And with each passing blow, the flames were getting stronger and stronger.

However, Blaze and Kaito both had relaxed looks on their faces as they taunted each other.

"Is that all you have? Did you not eat breakfast today?"

"You're the one that didn't eat breakfast today! I can barely feel your weak punches!"

"Well, then take a few more of them if you want!"

"Why don't you take a few of my punches as well!"

Just like this, the two of them kept slugging each other as if they didn't feel the punches, but it was clear by how their legs trembled that they were indeed feeling the effects of these punches.

In the end, it was Blaze that was able to knock Kaito down with one final punch.

After a moment of silence, there was a loud wave of applause that came from the crowd.

Watching two rivals fight like this was definitely a passionate match that could rile people up.
