The journey of dragon transformation starting from Demon Slayer

"But don't worry! Sekiryuutei! As a professional player, I won't go easy on you!"

Raiser slowly raised the corners of his mouth, looking very relaxed, but the only thing he saw looking at Tatsumi was still sharp.

"I'm starting with the reputation of a professional player! No matter what happens, I, Raiser, will spare no effort to complete this game! I'll let you experience the true charm of the "Ranking Game"!"

At this moment, Raiser looked great and righteous, but the fire in his eyes did not diminish at all. Instead, he looked fierce, which made Tatsumi's eyes twitch.

Honestly, he thought that Raiser was being pretentious. He could have just said that he wanted to vent his anger on him through the "game".

"Fiancée" is a hurdle he cannot overcome. If he could let it go, he wouldn't be called Lesar Phoenix.

But he was also infected by the atmosphere on the scene.

And because of his status, as a noble, he probably wouldn't speak rudely to him in public...

Want to motivate him?

——No, forget it after all.

Instead of just talking big, it’s better to wait and see the real results in the competition.

Thinking of this, Tatsumi crossed his arms and said proudly, "Really? Then I'll look forward to it a little bit..."

Hearing the boy's arrogant reply, Raiser suddenly felt that "the person in front of him is so pretentious."

He clenched his fists, but before he could say anything else, the voice of host McGee rang out above the crowd again.

"Alright! I think everyone has noticed that both players are already in position!"

"First, let me announce the rules of this game!"

"Because the atmosphere was so heated, it was as intense as a professional tournament. So we set up the "audience vote" rule for this tournament."

“As the name suggests, ‘Audience Vote’ means that the audience votes!”

"The 'Game Committee' will select the types of games you would like to watch from a large number of game formats based on the audience in front of the TV and the audience at the scene!"

"Audience voting" is very popular in the original ranking game professional competitions.

One of the fun ways to play the game is to let the audience choose the game rules they want to see the most.

There are many types of ranking games, including ball games, operational strategy games, and of course the most popular combat games.

Ranking games are entertainment activities, and the addition of voting is a disguised way of serving the audience, making everyone feel involved.

Due to the in-depth cooperation between the two parties, this competition was also regarded as a lively celebration. The live broadcast alone was comparable to the global live broadcast.

Not only the audience in the underworld are paying attention to this game, the people of the empire who come to the underworld through channels also attach great importance to this ranking game.

Whether it was soldiers or officials, everyone was very concerned about the performance of the "King".

Since the survey was open to everyone, Tatsumi and his friends also filled out the questionnaire.

"Ohhhhhh!! Here it comes, here it comes!!"

"The competition will be conducted based on the rule of most votes! What will the rule be? I am really looking forward to it more and more!!"

The images on the large screen in the center of the venue kept changing, and the various rules were jumping around at such a speed that it was almost dizzying. Even the host, Jamaki, interrupted at the right time, inadvertently increasing the suspense of the game.

At this time, the eyes of the audience, contestants, and referees are all focused on the large screen in the center of the venue.

Slowly, the speed of the game rules began to slow down, and soon became fixed.

Everyone was eagerly waiting, but when the results were announced, many people held their breath when they saw the game types listed above. Some even frowned, and their expressions looked a little unhappy.

"One-day long battle", this is the rule of the game.

"Ohhhh!! It appeared! This is incredible! The rule of this competition is actually a 'one-day long battle'!"

"As the name suggests, a 'One-Day Long Battle' is an extremely long battle that takes a whole day..."

"A warning to all the audience in the audience and in front of the TV, due to the adoption of this rule, long-term..."

On the other side, in the exclusive and luxurious VIP room.

Seeing the result of the game, Sirzechs was stunned for a second, then narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself.

"I didn't expect the rules to be like this..."

"I was wondering why those old guys could be so kind. Turns out they were waiting here."

Hearing her husband's mumbling, the silver-haired maid standing behind him slowly walked over.

"Is there something wrong?"

Sirzechs turned around after hearing that.

He chuckled and said to his wife, "Let's put it this way, this game is seen by many as a 'proxy war', a battle between 'demons' and the 'Second Holy Empire'..."

"Although it's a friendly match on the surface, many people actually think so..."

In his opinion, this is normal.

Although the saying goes that friendship comes first and competition comes second.

But winning is winning, and losing is losing.

Especially in a game event like this open to the whole nation, the win or loss between forces becomes even more important.

People have a sense of belonging in their hearts. No matter where they are or what race they are, everyone expects their side to win. This is an inevitable phenomenon.

Our team is meant to beat your team, and we are meant to be competitive!

Only in this way will the arrival of victory seem so precious.

It is possible to have a competition where everyone is respectful and polite to each other, but it is human nature to want to win no matter what.

However, the "audience vote" was added at the request of the "King's Faction", which is a bit meaningful.

As he spoke, Sirzechs looked back toward the venue, as if he was looking at a dark shadow looming over the venue, and continued, "This should be the result they want to see, right?"

"Although it was just a casual remark, it will have an indirect impact on the outcome of the game!"

"It is precisely because I know the audience's choice that I deliberately made this suggestion."

"And the 'One-Day Battle' is also the most advantageous game for the 'Phoenix' who possesses the 'Immortality' ability..."

Sirzechs' words made Gurefia stunned for a second.

As Sirzechs said, the type of "game project" can be manually intervened.

Moreover, compared to ball games, fighting games are more eye-catching.

Because this type of game, whether it is a competition of brains and tactics or a head-on confrontation of strength, can evoke the most primitive impulses in people's hearts.

The politicians behind the game grasped this point accurately, so they took the initiative to propose "audience voting", which led to the emergence of "One Day Long War".

Most people will definitely prioritize supporting their own people over supporting outsiders.

In addition, the cooperation between the two parties has not been fully implemented in the underworld. The progress of each territory is different due to the requirements of the nobles, so only a small number of people in the underworld know about the "Red Dragon Emperor".

This society is not friendly to the lower classes.

Although Tatsumi's arrival did make the lives of some residents of the underworld happier, some demon nobles felt that there was no need for the lives of the residents in the territory to become better, and believed that maintaining the status quo was the best scenario.

For them, rank is everything, and identity and bloodline determine who is superior and who is inferior to them.

The reason why the subordinates are subordinates is that they believe that no matter how long they exist, they are still subordinates. They can never compare with them who are born noble.

Once there is a conflict of ideologies, differences will naturally arise.

Those nobles would not go out of their way to promote the good of the "Second Holy Empire", nor would they let the residents of their own territories know who the "Red Dragon Emperor" was.

Then at this time, what would happen if those guys suddenly announced to the people in the territory that the demons in their own forces wanted to compete with outsiders?

Everyone didn't know what the "Red Dragon Emperor" was, nor did they know what "cooperation" was. They only knew to "face the outside world with one voice."

Although this competition has attracted widespread attention due to its huge population base and extensive publicity, it also contains the possibility of being manipulated.

If people want their own players to win, they will naturally choose rules that are beneficial to them.

In addition, if sports events are avoided, the overall situation will slowly tilt in Phoenix's favor.

Although Gurefia knew that some people would choose other game rules, the game rules that required time would definitely be far ahead in the number of votes.

However, other than quick breaks and ball games, rules that require time are undoubtedly the most beneficial to Phoenix.

In other words, the game is not fair.

Gurefia looked towards the venue quietly, taking in the two teams standing together.

She had watched Lesar's game videos and knew that Lesar had a good talent for tactical planning.

He inherited the "immortality" of his clan, which is invincible among his peers. He is an excellent demon that has attracted widespread attention in the industry.

Although there were some games that we lost, those two games were either ball games or business games that tested our brainpower.

However, for games involving combat, unless Phoenix deliberately lets the opponent win, there is almost no possibility of losing.

This was true for both Lesser and his elder brother who was rumored to be promoted to the top in the near future.

However, those politicians standing in the back and talking big probably never thought that the Red Dragon and the Phoenix had already decided the winner once.

Although it has nothing to do with the present moment, it is still a real "achievement".

If those people knew this fact, they might shout that it is unfair!

But how can there be absolute fairness in this world?

Thinking of this, Gurefia narrowed her beautiful silver eyes and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh softly.

Under Sirzechs's gaze, she sighed meaningfully, "It looks like I'm going to disappoint them..."

Sirzechs knew who the "they" Grayfia was talking about were.

With a hearty smile on his face, he looked at the conference hall below and replied, "Yeah..." At the same time, his green eyes flashed with a deep light.

Sirzechs continued, "Although we are communicating with each other through competition, it is still rude to let others win!"

"Leiza is an excellent professional player. He will make the right choices both in public and in private..."

"And my brother-in-law too... I'm afraid this match is going to get extremely heated from the start."

After hearing this, Gurefia's expression suddenly became strange, as if she was trying to hold back her laughter. She couldn't help but say, "It's just that Master Leiser will have to work hard..."

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

Sirzechs also laughed. He hadn't laughed so happily in a long time.

"Yes, even if the battle is dangerous enough to kill me, I should be able to survive it with my immortal body!"

"But this can also 'train' him. That's what his parents hope..."

"As for my brother-in-law's 'White Dragon King Power'...it shouldn't be..."

--------

"Next are the regulations regarding Phoenix Tears!"

"Thanks to the kindness of the current head of the Phoenix family who is in charge of manufacturing and selling, two bottles of 'Tears' will be allocated to each side in this game!"

As Gamaki announced the news, cheers broke out at the scene.

"Phoenix Tears" can heal all injuries. For the contestants, a team with "Tears" can almost use it as a second life.

Not to mention that Phoenix also provided two bottles, so today's game was bound to turn into a war of attrition.

However, this is not the end yet, because the next piece of news is even more explosive.

Gamaki suddenly coughed: "Everyone should know that with the communication between the 'Underworld' and the 'Empire', our 'Ranking Game' now has two new elixirs!"

"That is the elixir sponsored by the Sekiryuutei-sama that restores physical strength and magic power."

Having said this, McGee paused, then continued.

"The emergence of elixirs in recent days has enriched the gameplay of the 'Ranked Game'. Countless professional players have personally experienced the charm of 'Elixir'! We are eager to play it!"

"However, this time, unlike in the past, the Red Dragon Emperor will sponsor two bottles of the rare True Compound Elixir that can restore 100% of the effect!"

“Although how it is made is still a mystery, we will have the honor of witnessing this grand spectacle today!”

As Gamaki finished speaking, loud cheers should have been heard.

However, the meeting place was completely silent at this moment, and it looked extremely scary.

The audience came back to their senses, some even gasped, and contributed their part to warm the underworld.

“100%?!!”

“Although I’ve heard of it, I didn’t expect it to actually exist?!”

"The competitions a while ago all offered 30% to 50%, right?"

"The effect of 30-50% is already scary enough, I can't even imagine what would happen if it were 100%!!"

"Although it cannot heal injuries, a 100% recovery effect is too..."

“Does this drug really exist?!”

"What kind of technology can achieve such an effect..."

The audience at the scene was talking about it, and as the footage was broadcast live to the outside world, there was a huge uproar outside.
