Chapter 56 The Battle For The Worthy

"Susssh!" Sato silenced, immediately putting a stop to the argument that was going on behind him.

"Is something the matter?" Yuri asked, concerned as she wandered toward Sato.

"You need to leave here this instant… she's coming." Sato indicated, holding Yuri by the hand and pulling her towards the window.

"She? Who is she?" Yuri questioned as she tried to understand why Sato was dragging her.

After he got to the window, Sato made a an immediate stop and looked at Yuri, " I'll explain it to you later, but right now I need you to leave and don't let anyone see you." He uttered.

"But…"

Not hesitating, Sato hauled Yuri by the leg and threw her out the window which was followed by a scream.

"Now." Sato looked at Divanchi, "Divanchi, I trust you know what to do?" He asked.

With a smile, she replied, "You don't have to worry about anything… I got this." Divanchi grabbed the three mermaids and jumped out the window.

Once Divanchi left, Sato faced Elena who was already heading toward the window.

She took a step on the window and turned to Sato, "Lord Sato?" She called out. 𝒇𝑟e𝙚𝑤𝙚𝐛𝗻𝐨ν𝚎𝘭.c𝐨m

"Yeah?" Sato replied, looking at her, he could see the fear written on her face.

".... It's nothing, don't hesitate to call if you need my help." Elene said before leaping out of the window.

Not long after, the door to Sato's room opened and Erza walked in.

She didn't utter a word, but her eyes were sending the message. Erza was gradually looking around the room as she sauntered in.

"Erza?... What are you…."

"Was someone here?" Erza instantly asked with her eyes focused on Sato.

'Of course, she's suspicious.' Sato thought to himself before replying, "No, why would you think that?".

"Is that so?" Erza asked.

"Obviously."

"You're very sure".

"Definitely"

"No lies"

"Cross my heart".

...…

.....

"I guess you have no reason to lie." Erza sat down on the bed with her legs crossed, "There were loud noises coming from the garden, so I thought you had something to do with it".

"Was that why you came?".

"Actually."...

"Hm…" Erza stood up from the bed and immediately opened a new one with a smile, "Remember when you said, you are willing to fight for me?".

"Yes, I doo…. Oh shit".

....

Sato was standing in the open arena with multiple vampires seated on the chair to watch him battle Luke, Erza's current fiance.

Even Duke Vlad was present alongside his son, Christian who on the other hand was feeling out of it.

Duke and his children sat down on the higher chair, in the circular arena, giving them the advantage to watch the fight from a good view.

Erza sat down beside Vlad and was anxious even though she wasn't the one in the arena, her feet were tapping the ground continuously as she bit her fingers.

Vlad picked up on it and spoke, "Why do you feel nervous? Are you perhaps uncertain about his victory?" He asked.

"He can't lose father, Sato is the strongest man I have ever seen, a victory is most definitely certain." Erza answered back.

Although Vlad was doubtful about how the battle would go, the energy he was feeling from Sato was starting to contradict his thoughts.

"I have never seen you have this much faith in a man before." Vlad voiced out.

Erza was at hultz because even she couldn't explain the way she was feeling.

'Do I have this much confidence in him because he is my fated?..Or… is it because I've actually seen what he is capable of'.

Meanwhile, Sato was baffled at how things turned the way they did in a short amount of time.

The battle was supposed to be held the next day, but after Luke badged into the mansion, requesting that he fights Sato, Vlad had no choice but to accept.

Putting Sato in the current predicament he was in.

"Hey, Human!" Luke yelled from afar, standing at the other side of the arena with a sword in his hand.

'How did it come to this?' Sato uttered to himself, 'Well, I guess it's not all bad… just means my plan can progress faster'.

"Can you hear me, or are you just choosing to ignore me?!" Luke shouted with his sword pointed at Sato.

With a deep breath, Sato voiced back, "Are you sure you want to do this?".

Luke grinned, "I'm guessing you don't know who I am… I am the next candidate for a council member, Luke, the son of Lord Gigz, leader of the sect leader of the forever knights of Vampires" He introduced with pride backing his every word.

'People still do this shit?' Sato muttered to himself.

"Well… are you not going to introduce yourself?" Luke questioned.

"I don't see a need for that… because after this fight, I doubt you'd want to remember who I am." Sato asserted.

He immediately took a fighting stance, while holding a a protracted black sword with red glowing streaks on the body. 𝗳𝔯𝙚e𝒘e𝚋𝘯𝚘ν𝙚l.𝑐o𝙢

Luke did the same, just like Sato, Luke wanted to get the brawl over with and prove to everyone that he is the only one worthy enough to marry Erza.

"Prepare yourself, I Luke stand before you?!" Luke yelled before pitching himself to the front with a full sonic boom blowing off behind him as Sato watched.

...….

Just above the arena, Yuri and Divanchi were watching the whole fight from above.

"How long are we supposed to stay here?" Yuri asked with her back kicking back on the floor as she played with her magic flames.

"Still the battle is over. You heard what the master said, among the crowd… the enemy lies there." Divanchi said.

With a grunt, Yuri stood up from the ground and bent while looking at the audience seated in the arena.

"So, just get the enemy right?" Yuri uttered with a smile.

Her eyes turned green and everything around him turned to colors, while some of the audience were colored red, some were black.

"Found them." Yuri said with a grin, she put up her hand to the sky and a small purple dark orb appeared at her fingertips, "I'll end this now, the sooner… the better".
