My King System
Chapter 71 - Stage 5

Yuki restablized himself and began to charge at his enemies one more time. Yuki aimed to take down Liraz, the sword wielding demon as she was responsible for the failure of his previous attack. Sprinting at top speed, Yuki prepared to plunge his sword into her. However, Marlen wasn't going to allow that to happen. Even if Yuki could move at tremendous speeds, she could still block his attacks with her shield. Which was what he did.

Wasting no time, Marlen placed her enormous shield in front of Liraz. While this had upset Yuki, he knew how to adapt to new situations quickly due to the experience he had gained in the previous dungeon stages. Quickly changing his target. Yuki stepped to the right and aimed for Saki's arm. With a spin, Yuki lifted his sword in the air and brought it down on his new target's arm. Right as Yuki began to think that it would be a manageable battle, he realised why each demon had weird forearms. Saki's hardened arms easily blocked the attack from Yuki.

Preparing to retaliate, Saki, wielding her dual sickles, aimed to slide off Yuki's head. Seeing this, Yuki leaned back to lower himself and dodge her attack. However Yuki wasn't going to leave this exchange of attacks without dealing any damage. Before Saki could attack again, Yuki kicked her in the gut as hard as he possibly could then creating distance one again.

Now enraged by the actions Yuki had done, the entire female warrior group began to charge at Yuki. An all out attack to bring him down and show off their strength. While it seemed to be all of them, there was one female demon missing. Miley chose to stay behind. Yuki assumed that she might have been too afraid to attack him. That was fine by Yuki as he liked to pick off his opponents one by one.

In a one vs four battle, Yuki was surprisingly good at dodging the attacks of others. Every movement the demon warrior made didn't go unnoticed. His pupils moved effortlessly as they tracked down each demon. No matter if it were a sword, a war hammer, an axe or a sword. It wouldn't be able to land a hit on Yuki.

With each attack the demon warriors threw at Yuki, he would make sure to retaliate back, aiming for whatever he could. As the battle raged on, the crowd began to cheer. They clearly were enjoying themselves. Unable to contain his excitement even in a deadly situation, Yuki began to get more comfortable with his fighting style. He allowed his instincts to take over a bit.

Seeing an opening on Nico, Yuki leaped into the air and kicked at her face. He unknowgly kicked her too hard which knocked her to the ground. While it wasn't his intention to do it, Yuki didn't care what kind of cheap methods he had to resort to if it meant he could achieve his dreams. Seeing what had happened to their comard, all of the other female warriors began to boil in rage. However, out of all of them, Liraz was the most affected.

Yuki could sense the bloodlust oozing from her body. All Liraz wanted at that moment was Yuki's head. Almost instantaneously, she aimed to cut Yuki in half. Due to his instincts alone, Yuki leaned back once more to dodge her attack. However, that was the wrong move. Yuki could feel something piece his back.

At first he assumed it to be a sword however he soon realized that it was too small, meaning that it was a dagger. Yuki could feel the blood leaving his body as he began to feel dizzy.

"I was too careless," said Yuki.

The fully armoured female demon Miley pulled out her dagger from Yuki's back as he pushed him up, allowing him to stand on his feet. She had only seemed to stay out of the battle as to strike when Yuki was open. He had been set up. However before Yuki could get angry or ever retaliate, Marlen's giant fist punched him, almost causing him to go unconscious. Yuki instantly bashed into the ground, his body creating a small crater on the colosseum floor.

Yuki thought to open his inventory and pull out a full status recovery potion. That way he could regain the blood he had just lost, however Nico wasn't going to allow that. Now right in front of him. She continuously pummeled his face, shattering his nose and dislocating his jaw. When she had finally finished with him, Yuki's face was unrecognizable.

Saki was now standing above him with a smirk on her face. It looked much too similar to the smirk Sophie had. Even if he couldn't fully understand the situation he was in because he was going to pass out at any second, Yuki did know one thing. That smirk annoyed him.

Liraz allowed Saki to wield her sword, just to allow her to kill Yuki. After all she deserved the finishing blow the most out of everyone. Saki held the sword with both of her hands. Preparing as if she was going to start a ritual. As the sword began to move down at Yuki's chest, he began to accept his fate.

Death didn't bother him at all. If he were to die, all he would have to do was ask Zero to send him back where he left off. The concept of dying forever was an unfathomable concept to Yuki. However, right before Yuki could die, he took one last look at Saki. He deserved to know who would be responsible for killing him.

The evil grin hadn't left Saki's face. Yuki had thought it was his imagination last time, however now that he took a good look at her, he realized that he wasn't imagining it. It was the exact same face Sophie had made after he humiliated him. Yuki began to regain his energy, just the pure adrenaline rush from seeing the one face he thought he had destroyed allowed him to continue the battle. Yuki's eyes widened as he prepared to unleash true hell on his enemies.
