Human Deity: Rise of the Arthur

Chapter 5: The Will to Surpass EVERYTHING

"Welcome to the Colosseum of Guilt, Sir Marcus Great Sage Ranker!" King Rhast welcomed warmly.

Everyone in the arena looked at the white-robed man named Marcus.

"The selection has ended with 30 participants, which are all willing to entertain you with their skills and mastery in their art of killing! King Rhast trying to please the white-robed man.

"Even though I arrived earlier than expected I won't force these captives to start right now as it wouldn't even be fun looking at ants right now. It will make you King Rhast lose face as you have declared it to be a fortnight." The white-robed man named Marcus told King Rhast and made his voice loud enough for the captive to hear.

"Oh yes! Yes! As expected of someone in the Silent Assassins Guild! Strict but fair!" An advisor added on the conversation.

Hearing the Silent Assassins Guild, Arthur now knew why she had that attitude and what the mumbles were about last night. Now that someone at Great Sage Stage appeared, Arthur's body froze, Joseph was only at Emperor Rank but this white-robed person is at Great Sage Rank.

A smile even more devious than before appeared on Mia's face that could even be mistaken for the smile of a devil.

"EVERYONE! BOW DOWN TO SIR MARCUS, A GREAT SAGE RANKER!" A guard beside them informed the participants.

The 29 participants bowed down to Sir Marcus. The only person who didn't bow down was none other than Mia Amir herself.

"INSOLENT BRAT! YOU DARE DEFY SIR MARCUS?! YOU SHALL PAY FOR--" as the guard was shouting and preparing to strike her, a small dagger pierced his neck causing fatal damage. It was Sir Marcus throwing a dagger at the guard.

"Hmph! Do you know who she is?" Sir Marcus asked all the guards present.

"No, sir! We do not, we apologize for not knowing these matters!" The guards filled with fear answered Sir Marcus.

"She is part of the Silent Assassins Guild, and you mere ants dare try to harm her?! Insolent fools!" Sir Marcus shocked everyone present.

The Silent Assassins Guild was a famous guild in the realm of Roax. Their average members are at Sage Stage, this was really high considering this was at the lower parts of the realm were even being at Infant Stage was amazing.

"Her? A part of the Silent Assassins Guild has the guild fallen to have a brat like her--" A dagger severed the head of the guard speaking. It was Sir Marcus silencing that guard being disrespectful to the guild.

"Uncle Marcus, welcome to the Colosseum of Guilt." Mia respectfully welcomed Sir Marcus the Great Sage Rank.

"That brat is part of the Silent Assassins Guild? THAT BRAT? That means I could--" An arrow shot through the head of an Infant Ranker. That arrow was shot by none other than Mia herself.

"Hmph! Anyone else wants to comment on that?" Mia's smile was so devious that it could even be mistaken for a smile of a devil.

Everyone else in the arena fell silent on the situation in front of them.

"Mia, come here right now we are leaving after the tournament." Sir Marcus beckoned Mia.

"But Uncle, there are some loose ends in this place that I have to--" Mia while saying this statement was looking both at Arthur and Joseph as she was humiliated by them before but she was interrupted by Sir Marcus.

"Listen here Mia, might I remind you that you failed your mission? That mission was the easiest by far and you even went out and even complicated the situation! How could the targets that were given to you be not eliminated? Even then failing was one thing but aiming at King Rhast and killing his advisor you have no right no talkback!" Sir Marcus coldly stated.
