Yuri arrived at the village with Latina in her hands; she touched down on the ground and was met by Giron.

"Lady Yuri, is the royal Selection over already?" Giron asked as he approached Yuri.

He suddenly froze up when he saw Latina\'s dead body in Yuri\'s arms, "Latina." Giron cried out with a sad voice.

"Giron, listen, we have to talk now." Yuri voiced out with a serious look on her face, and she wanted to leave where she was before people saw her.

Giron heeded her and they went into the building to discuss, but Yuri made sure to bring Latina\'s body inside with her.

pαпdα-ňᴏνê|·сóМ Once she was in, Yuri laid Latina\'s body on the couch before sitting on the table while Giron stood at the window.

"Do you happen to know how she was killed?" Giron asked with his eyes still focused outside the window.

"A man named Darkness, and from the little he told me, he claimed he was summoned… something along those lines," Yuri replied.

"Why would anyone… I can\'t believe we\'ve lost two lives in a span of two days." Giron muttered disappointedly.

"Two?"

"Just yesterday, Elena caught a massive illness from some bandit… she…she just died this morning." Giron exposed, unable to contain the sadness he was feeling.

\'Another life lost, what the hell is going on here… is this some kind of sign?\' Yuri thought to herself in silence.

When he sensed the tension brewing up inside Yuri, Giron spoke, "Lord Sato had told us to send an update on whatever happens… but…".

"That is exactly why I said we should speak here… Giron." Yuri stood up from her table and walked toward Giron, "You are not to tell Master about any of this".

"Are you implying we hide this from Lord Sato?… I can\'t and besides, he would still find out eventually." Giron argued.

"Yes, you\'re8l doing just that, think for a second… he\'s currently in a royal Selection… something he has been planning for from the beginning… and knowing him, Master won\'t think twice to abandon it if he hears about this." Yuri expressed with her face close to Giron.

"Lord Sato was looking forward to the baby Latina was going to have, I can imagine him getting heartbroken from this." Giron uttered before he continued, "That said… he is still going to find out, and might make him more furious knowing we hid this from him".

"I understand that, but I\'ll be the one to take the blame when that comes, for now…I\'m willing to wait for him to win the royal selection before I let him know about it." Yuri declared, looking at Latina\'s body on the couch as she began to feel frustrated.

...

Sato was on the chair and it was the next day for the competitors to go through the second stage of the royal Selection.

Sato was still uneasy but he disregarded it with the mind that Yuri had gone to take care of things.

He knew he couldn\'t win if he kept thinking about the village, so he focused on the new stage he was supposed to pass.

The next round was trickier than the first. Every participant was placed in a space, filled with different kinds of obstacles.

They were told to pass these obstacles while battling one another; the battle had a play with strategy.

They could only pick 10 winners regardless of which race if more numerous, during the event, along the way people noticed there was no wolfman standing.

So to even the scores, the last wolf to get knocked out was allowed to join the final stage.

A total of 5 vampires, 4 ghosts, Sato, and 1 werewolf moved to the next stage and were ready to face off in the final stage.

For this, all of them were teleported to a deserted land, it was wide so basically hard to see anyone until you start looking for them yourself.

\'So, I have 9 opponents.\' Sato said to himself, looking at the far end of the field.

<<Yes, I suggest taking out the strongest opponent here, that way you can maintain dominance…. A vampire is coming!>>

A vampire suddenly landed on the ground in front of Sato. He had a huge blade in his hands and a scar on his face.

"Hey old friend, we meet again." Sato uttered, a smile appearing on his face as he stood in front of the huge vampire.

"I\'ve searched for you, the man who got engaged to the lady… I\'d like to see what you are made of with my own eyes" The man said with a grin on his face.

\'He looks strong… is he the strongest here?\' Sato questioned.

<<He might not be the strongest but I\'d advise taking this fight seriously, he is still extremely powerful>>

\'Good to know…\' Ssto said before a black sword formed in his hand.

"Are you ready, you are about to go up against, Lazurus… the strongest vampire in all Nervek!" The vampire yelled, charging straight at Sato with incredible speed.

\'Damn, he\'s fast.\' Sato muttered, surprised by how quick Lazarus was moving, every step he took was causing the ground to vibrate from the pressure.

With a quick stop, Lazurus used both his hands to grip the handle of his sword before he slashed it at Sato.

Sato used his sword to block the blade at the last second, this caused the ground around them to break down, the more they kept swinging their weapons at each other, the more the ground got destroyed.

Both of them were equally matched in terms of swordplay, and they both could see that in themselves.

They moved around the place, striking and blocking their sword against one another, until Sato outsmarted Lazarus and booted him in the stomach.

Lazurus fell to one knee, with the tip of his blade plunged into the ground while he used it to maintain his balance.

Sato was looking at him from afar, fire swirling around his arms as he got ready to continue the attack.

"Blood hell." Lazarus uttered as he stood to his, "Come then, let\'s do this!" He shouted, his blade aimed in front and magic emcoting his body.
