Chapter 65 65: A Duel!

Alex observed toned muscles on the exposed areas of the man's physique, despite the fact that he was relatively thin overall. Alex also noticed that the man was grasping a simple staff in his hand.

The second demon was brown in colour, and it lacked wings but had horns and a tail instead. Alex sensed Wrath coming from the direction of it.

He appeared to have a strong build and a lot of battle experience. His left shoulder bore the mark of a significant scar.

In addition to this, he was armed with a shield and a sword, both of which were slung over his back.

When the first demon opened his mouth to speak, "To be perfectly honest, Avalandor, I did not anticipate seeing you here on such a beautiful day. I would have sworn to it if you said that you detested the entirety of the Tension District." According to what I've heard, Alex was in a neighbourhood known as the Tension District.

After that, a second demon by the name of Avalandor spoke, and his tone was sluggish and gruff, "I damned well do, in fact, my very first loss took place in this exact plaza. I am grateful to you. Now, let's just put an end to this so we can go on. I'm exceedingly ready to get back to Gaarde."

"Avalandor, slow down! You shouldn't be doing things like this so quickly. We start out slowly and gradually pick up the pace until we reach the highest point, at which point it is finished." Alex wasn't startled to hear sexual innuendos from a demon of Lust, and it seems that Avalandor was also not surprised.

"Send that damnable conversation right back to the brothel. I won't tolerate any of that in this space. Because someone is waiting for me at Black Steps, let's hurry up and finish this business." Avalandor reached for his sword and shield, positioning the weapon on the right side of his body and the shield on the left.

"I can't stand having a loss over my shoulder, so I wanted to end your damned existence on the same spot you beat me the last time, Cairo," he said. "It's just too painful."

"You say that, but will you able to be successful? Okay, it looks like this place will put an end to one of us." Alex's morbid curiosity was piqued by the prospect of a combat to the death.

The first demon, whose name was Cairo, prepared his staff in a stance similar to that of a martial artist.

People in the area around the plaza moved out of the way to make place for the two demons, and then they gathered to watch them.

Alex was joined by two succubi as he sat on the bench, but their attention was fixed on the upcoming battle.

Alex was able to overhear people placing bets off to the side. It was allegedly nothing unusual to come across a brawl here and there while walking around the streets of this metropolis.

A demon emerged from the audience and announced, "If it's okay with the both of you, I'll mediate the duel."

"Agreed." Both demons uttered their curses at the same time.

The judge stopped the fight by putting his hand in the middle of the two combatants. It was then that he cried, "OK, FIGHT!" He raised his arm and then slowly made his way back into the crowd.

The initial blow was delivered by Avalandor. He spun around quickly and lashed out with his sword, all the while keeping his shield centred on his torso to protect any areas of his body that were not protected by armour.

Cairo simply raised his staff and blocked the blow with it. He then twisted himself and struck out with the end of his staff.

Finally, he twisted the staff to attack with the other end of the staff. After successfully blocking both hits, Avalandor swung his shield violently towards his adversary in an attempt to defeat him.

Cairo ducked behind an object and then screamed out, "Spirits that are on fire! Please lend me some of your power and transform your attack into a lethal claw!" The end of his staff transformed into the limb of a lion, complete with claws, and it was made of fire.

Avalandor was about to be struck by the fire claw as it enlarged and extended its reach.

The Wrath demon seemed unfazed; instead, he took a few steps back and breathed in deeply, then exhaled extremely slowly and deeply.

Then, with the intensity of a moderate hurricane, he expelled the air from the room. Cairo frowned but did not move a step away from the gale even after the fire claw lost its power.

Avalandor rushed forward with his sword and delivered a barrage of blows. Cairo was able to deflect or block the majority of the projectiles, but one of them managed to scrape his flesh and clothing, causing him to bleed.

After that, Cairo swept his staff upward, which caused the blade to move out of the way of his path. Avalandor struck forward with his shield and knocked the thrust away with it, while the man surged forward with the tip of his spear.

Cairo drew his staff from its sheath, knocked Avalandor backwards a few paces, and then jumped back himself a few metres to give himself more distance.

Cairo yelled out another incantation, but to no avail "Staff! Don't be so disorganised! This staff is possessed by blazing spirits, which gives it its power!" At the very end of the incantation, Cairo was obliged to deftly sidestep a strike that was being delivered by Avalandor, who was aggressively slashing at his opponent in an effort to break the incantation.

After hearing those words, the staff almost instantly became limp and began to glow in a muted red-orange colour.
