20 Young devil gathering- III

Third person POV

Cain was having a headache due the challenge to him by Magdaran Bael. He thought because since he showed his power, he was not going to be challenged, allowing him to enjoy the gathering like a civil devil although that is not a thing.

'Why the f*ck does that fool want to fight me anyways. It should be clear that I am far above his league. He at best was somewhere around mid high class. And Grayfia is challenged by Zeaira just great!'

Anyways Cain moves towards the arena with elegance while having thoughts of ending the fight in a single attack.

In the arena Magdaran was standing with a smile on his face not the arrogant one but the one battle maniacs have. Seeing that Cain was having another headache.

' He's a battle maniac. That clears as to why he challenged me, showing off my strength just backfired.'

Euclid was the judge of this match and some other Lucifuge servant was the judge for the match between Grayfia and Zeaira. Cain simply stood at his place with no emotion on his face intent on quickly ending the match and enjoy the various dishes and wine of the gathering.

As the match was started by Euclid, neither Cain nor Magdaran moved, they were staring at each other. Magdaran broke the starting contest by speaking

" The power you showed before was truly awe inspiring having such strength at only 18, I can understand why my father, Zekram is so admiring of the Lucifer's."

Cain didn't reply to that he simply stared at Magdaran 'I don't believe that the scheming Zekram will not teach his son about fighting. Is he planning something or is he just a battle maniac.'

While Cain was thinking that Magdaran suddenly disappeared and reappeared infront of him with his fist coated in PoD. Seeing that Cain didn't get flustered he was relieved ' Good this makes sense that he is a scheming guy like his father. Well that was a refreshing thing. Let's end this fight.'

With that thought Cain shifted his body and avoided the punch from his opponent and kicked him in the gut with enough power to knock Magdaran out.

The event happened in less than a second everyone saw Magdarn appearing infront of Cain with a blinding speed and getting thrown out of the arena at twice of the speed. The entire all was again shocked by the ridiculous strength of Cain.

Cain simply walked out of the arena and on the other side Magdaran was embedded deep in the wall with no sign of getting out as he was knocked out by that kick.

.....

The match between Zeaira and Grayfia was intense. While it looked intense to the outsiders the combatants in question were not going all out. In fact Zeaira was even talking to Grayfia in the middle of the fight.

Cain looked at Zeaira and then at Grayfia, he did this a few times and shook his head. 'Grayfia's going to lose.'

Well the list according to power should have Zeaira and Rizevim at the same rank but due to politics they had to put them at a low rank . This was the hard truth as the arrogant satans wont accept being weaker that some other noble devils.

Grayfia POV

I was surprised that someone challenged me on top of that it was heiress Gremory. According to my sensing she is much stronger than me, I think only Cain sama can fight and defeat her in the gathering although I think she is as strong as Rizevim sama.

I already knew I couldn't win this fight but as the Lucifuge of Cain sama I can't show a bad display I must give it my all. The fight started and we both were only using basic devil magic. I was at a better position in that but the tables turned when she started using her PoD. In return I used my clan trait, power of darkness alongwith my ice magic but all amounted to nothing, she had enough free time in the match to talk to me. She was simply asking me questions about my life and other girl stuff.

" Grayfia do you really think that the satans believe in the development of the devil race as a whole." While I was thinking about something else she asked me a question. I wanted to answer but I couldn't say so.

I dont think any of the satans think for the devil race they only think for themselves but Cain sama is different he cares even for common devils. He has made various laws in his territories for improvement of basic living state of common devils. He even started a school for basic knowledge.

I replied " I dont know about the other but Cain sama surely does."

She didn't seem content with my reply she again said " Then why didn't he intervene when Shalba was about to attack the Oriax heir.

I tried to answer but I couldn't I dont know what goes in his mind sometimes but it must be a valid reason.

" Gremory, Cain sama has far greater intellect than anyone. Nobody can predict his actions and what is he planning."

I replied but I knew that wasn't true maybe one day I will be able to understand what goes in his mind after I become one with him. ' What am I thinking in the middle of the match get yourself together Grayfia.'

Third Person POV

The small talk ended and Zeaira again used that destroying the arena technique and defeated Grayfia. Euclid announced the result with a bitter face. He couldn't believe that his great Onee sama lost to a noble devil.

But this time around Zeaira didn't look as relaxed she was out of breath. Surely fighting two strong devils consecutively will have some effect on her.

Cain was enjoying a different wine this time around when a bubbly voice rang and made him almost drop the glass.

" I challenge Cain-kun. Let's fight Cain-kun."

' I swear I anyone challenges me after this I am murdering him.'

Poor Cain can't get a break. He was about to taste the 300 year old devil wine now he has to fight. Cain although annoyed still went to the arena and stood on the other side Serafall was standing looking upbeat.

' Atleast this fight will be interesting unlike the last one.' Cain was mentally consoling himself about his fight.

Grayfia was the judge of this match she had downed a vial of phenex tear just to be able to become the refree of this match. She signaled for the match to start. Cain was standing while Serafall used her clan trait 'Water manipulation' to create tentacles and attacked Cain.

Cain was unfazed by this he simply stood there the tentacles changed their trajectory at the last moment before touching him. It was like the water avoided him. Serafall was making surprised pikachu face, her power never acted like this.

Seeing that Cain spoke " You will have to do better if you want to actually fight me."

Serafall looked at him and spoke " This is just the beginning Cain-kun, I can do a lot more."

This time serafall used a large amount of her demonic energy and created a seven headed hydra out of water. It stood at a towering 10 meters in height with its eyes glowing with dark prussian colour.

Cain this time waved his hand and a dagger appeared in his hand. It was the same dagger he found in the basement.

" Fine, Sitri I will actually fight you for a while."

Saying that Cain coated the dagger in demonic energy and swung it. The shockwave created thus destroyed 3 heads of the hydra the other 4 survived because Serafall was able to move them in time.

Serafall was shocked this time because he didn't realese the energy in the dagger, just swung it to realese a shockwave and almost destroyed her strongest non lethal attack. Sera decided she can't hold back this time.

' Mou! Both Ze-chan and Aju-chan have won their matches I can't be the only one to lose. Come on Sera!'

While having a monologue inside Serafall was having serious face outside, Cain seeing that was surprised 'She is making the pout face only seen in anime.'

" I didn't want to use my trump card here but you forced me Cain-kun."

The gentle feeling of water disappeared and the feeling of desolate winter surrounded Cain.

'Hmm this is familiar it's the ice magic which Grayfia uses.'

Serafall's bloodline had mutated making her able to use ice magic too like her clan trait. But the ice magic was lethal something Serafall only used when she was supposed to kill someone. Serafall didn't like fighting and killing but she is sure that Cain will be fine.

She unleashed her strongest attack from the start intending to make this the last blow.

" Icicle rain." Serafall screamed before attacking.

Cain didn't even defend he was face palming due the cringe.

' Oh my satan she is screaming the attack names.'

At the last moment Cain used his clan trait 'Dark Light' and created the exact number of spears as Serafall and countered them whilst he teleported.

The collision evaporated the ice and created thick fog obscuring the vision of the onlookers. Serafall was also looking for him when she felt a tap on her shoulder. She moved quickly but was met with a finger poke on her cheek.

Cain had teleported behind her and hid his energy signature. He poked her on the cheek and said "Dead. If this was a real match that is."

And started walking away Grayfia announced the winner like a dedicated maid " The winner is Cain sama."

Serafall stood there for sometime and went back but she was blushing ' That was dangerous he is very handsome when close.'

Serafall returned to her team Falbium had challenged Katerea and won only Serafall had drawn the long stick and lost to Cain. Zeaira was tired but she still challenged Rizevim to a battle.

' She is going to lose, if she was in peak condition it will be 50-50 but now that Rizz is in top form and she is tired after fighting two strong devils she is gonna lose. A pity.'

The match started just like Cain, Rizevim was also not very much interested in fighting he was much more interested in the chaos caused by him. Zeaira's challenge made him angry that he was deprived of the chance of seeing the chaos. As far as control and devil magic was concerned Zeaira was outmatched by Rizz.

' In cannon sirzechs was supposed to be stronger than Rizz but due to me Rizz trains a lot more then his cannon self so he is currently stronger than Zeaira.' Cain shook his head and took another glass of wine and watched the match with keen eyes.

Rizevim was keeping his distance and utilizing the vast amount of magic he learned from the library in the castle. Zeaira was forced to use her PoD from the start to defend as her magic was not in the same level as Rizz.

Zeaira multiple times between the exchange tried to reduce the distance between herself and Rizevim but everytime she went close he used instantaneous teleportation. Rizevim was not gonna take his chances.

'I simply need to maintain my distance and wear her down. She is already weak fron the continous fighting. I just need to be careful of her PoD at close range, at long range my magic can nullify it.'

Rizevim's plan wasn't complicated or great but it was definitely working. Many people had seen through his plan but what can they do. Stopping teleportation will require to seal space which is only possible by the clan trait of Vassago.

The situation of Zeaira was grim she was already near completely exhausting herself. She was berating herself for being overconfident and not taking proper rest in between battles.

Seeing that she would lose if this went on Zeaira made up her mind and raised her power to maximum and released it in a spherical front. Rizevim was about to teleport but he sensed something and stopped. He created multiple barriers in a short span and steeled himself for the attack.

Other than him only Cain and Ajuka were able to sense what happened.

Ajuka ran towards the judge and asked " Is Zeaira safe?"

With urgency laced in his voice the judge had a pale face as he replied " I can't sense what's going inside the barrier."

Ajuka clicked his tounge and went back with his sense completely fixed on the barrier.

On the other hand Cain was surprised ' So because she can't seal space she destroyed it in the area of the arena making teleportation impossible. What a crazy girl!'

Although Cain said so even he will have trouble destroying that much space as of now. He definitely can but it will be troublesome. The PoD is just too good for destroying stuff.

The red energy that was rampaging inside the barrier finally subsided and a shocking seen was seen.

Rizevim was fine even after the massive attack, he was taking in deep breathes and his demonic energy was out of control and his thought were a mess ' She did this much when she was tired'.

Everyone else drew a cold breath the arena was a mess multiple black patches and cracks in the air could be seen in a haphazard way, showing that the destroyed space was not completely rebuilt by the laws of the underworld.

Zeaira was lying on her knees, she was exhausted by the last attack and Rizevim was still standing. She lost.

Rizevim thinking about how an ordinary devil far below him made him become like this raised his hand and created a large amount of wind magic.

'I can't kill her because of Duke Gremory but disgracing her should be fine.' He was planning something hideous and was about to bring his hand down.

But the hand never came down because Cain was holding it with his own hand. Cain also dispelled the humongous amount of magic and stared with a cold glare at Rizevim. Rizevim seeing that had only one thought in his mind

' How did he get here so fast that too without me sensing anything.'
