Beyond The Worlds

Humiliation

 *clap* *clap *clap*

 "Looks like we have a hero here."  Toru said to Ryuu as she applauded.  "Have you ever heard that excessive courage can condemn someone?"

 The brothers behind Ryuu recoiled in fear at the sound of Toru's voice.

 Ryuu looked at the boy who was mocking him and said, "Weak brat, what do you want with me?"

 Toru pursed his lips at being called a brat and weak.  "You know who you're talking to?"  He looked at Ryuu with a murderous look.  No one has ever spoken to him in such an offensive way.

 Participants were also shocked by Ryuu's words.  Some thought Ryuu was a redneck who was in the tournament to try his luck, but some other people acknowledged that he was one of the men who were with "that crazy woman."

 "I just need to remember the names of three people in this world, and you're not one of them."

 "Good, good. Let's see if your courage stays when I start torturing you."  3 men appeared beside Toru, they were his personal subordinates.

 "Your highness, shall we kill him?"  one of the men asked.  Toru's subordinates want to strangle Ryuu right now.  They never thought that a stranger would be brave enough to offend the prince in this way.

 "No! I'll make sure to torture that guy as painfully as possible."

 Ryuu looked at Toru without any change of expression and said, "Weak brat, have you ever heard that people like you always have a bad ending?"

 Toru didn't mind Ryuu's words and sent his minions to attack.

 "We will show you the price of messing with His Highness."  One of the men told Ryuu.  The men advanced with the intention of capturing Ryuu, but…

 "Pathetic."  Saying those words, Ryuu waved his hands and the men exploded.  The men's blood spread everywhere.  Toru was in a cold sweat at that moment.

 "W-what did you do?"  Toru didn't even see how his subordinates died.  He knew he needed to be serious against this guy.  Ryuu walked slowly towards Toru with an impassive expression.

 "Don't come any closer!"  Taru hesitated no longer and released bursts of flame with his magic.

 *BOMM!* *BOMM!* *BOMM!*

 The violent flames created explosions that could blow up several buildings, but Ryuu didn't even try to dodge and decided to let the flames hit his body.  The smoke that the explosions created prevented people from seeing what had happened to Ryuu.

 "Is it dead?"  Toru wondered.

 "Your flames remind me of lighters."  Ryuu dispersed the smoke and came out of the attack intact.  Toru gave Ryuu a murderous look when his flames were compared to a lighter.

 "I think it's time for you to die-"

 Before Ryuu finished his words, a giant sword appeared in front of him.  Ryuu looked at the sword that was made of mana and knew that the person who was secretly protecting Toru had decided to appear.  The sword came down towards Ryuu at a very high speed, but he only punched in the direction of the sword.

 *Bam*

 The giant sword disappeared.  The man who summoned the sword was surprised when his attack was easily destroyed.

 "General Boros."  The prince was relieved to see that the strongest General in the country appeared to save him.  He knew Boros was very strong.
