1:46 pm p p DD Chapter 141 Chapter 141 Damien IZ 55 vouchers I didn't move. My elbow rested against the arm of the chair, fingers supporting my temple, legs crossed in an almost careless posture as my crimson eyes remained fixed on that particular masked figure below. Around me, the arena roared with chaos, but none of it held my attention for more than a passing second. My gaze did not waver from her for even the slightest moment. To anyone watching, I probably looked bored, detached, uninterested. And perhaps I was, just not in the way they thought.
Slowly, my eyes drifted upward, taking in every detail with patience, until they stopped at the hairpin securing her hair in place. My expression did not change, but something inside me darkened. I recognized that hairpin. I knew exactly what kind it was and what it symbolized. It was not an accessory chosen at random. It carried a meaning. The question was, did she know? Was she truly that clueless about what she was wearing? Or had she taken it from another woman without understanding the implications? Either way, I was not pleased.
A faint shift stirred within me, and Thane, my wolf, gave a low, satisfied rumble. 'You don't like it,' he noted, sounding far too entertained. I ignored him. Behind me, I could feel the stunned silence of Yara, Jason, and Kaius. They had been frozen ever since the masked figure drew that protective spell and turned the tide of the match without lifting a weapon. Yara was the first to recover. She let out a soft laugh. "Unbelievable," she muttered, shaking her head with a grin. "He's even worse than me." Jason nodded beside her. "Right?
I never thought anyone could be more shameless and cunning than you are." Yara chuckled, clearly amused. "I'm impressed." Kaius, however, crossed his arms and scoffed loudly. "It's nothing impressive. There are so many powerful fighters here. That masked guy is just lazy. Why would he draw a protective spell instead of fighting? That's not what a real warrior does. He's weak." Yara and Jason both turned to stare at him as if he had just declared the sky green. Sometimes, I truly wondered if there was anything inside Kaius's head besides battle strategies and muscle.
Without taking my eyes off her, I spoke, my voice low and unhurried. "What should a good warrior do then?" Kaius immediately straightened, clearly happy that I had addressed him. His eyes lit up with eagerness. "A good warrior should fight until his last breath, Alpha Damien. He should risk his life. He shouldn't back away from a fight, no matter what." Yara muttered under her breath, "He's more insane than I thought." 1/4 1:46 pm p p DD Chapter 141 Jason nodded in agreement. 55 vouchers I slowly removed my hand from beneath my head and sat upright.
The movement was small, but it was enough to make Kaius tense. "Do you know why," I asked calmly, "even with my strength, I haven't taken over every pack in the world?" Kaius blinked. "B-because you're lazy?" I tilted my head slightly and looked at him. He flinched immediately. "Because it's not necessary, just because you are powerful doesn't mean you must prove it at every opportunity. Just because I go to war when provoked does not mean I am weak for choosing not to." My gaze sharpened. "Or do you think I am weak?" Kaius swallowed hard and bowed his head.

"I wouldn't dare." I looked away from him and returned my attention to her. She sat comfortably within her drawn circle, watching others slaughter one another with almost lazy patience. She did not rush. She did not panic. And that was far more dangerous than reckless bravery. It was as though she had seen far worse. I could not help but wonder if she was truly what they described her to be. Or if there was something I did not know, something she was hiding from everyone. A faint, almost imperceptible smile tugged at the corner of my lips. "She's like a python," I murmured to myself.
"She sits still and waits. But the moment she's hungry, she'll strike. And by the time you realize what's happening, she'll already have wrapped herself around you." And I intended to see exactly who she planned to devour. ***** Selene "Ah! No, please don't-!" The scream was cut short by the sickening sound of metal slicing through flesh. A body dropped heavily onto the blood- stained ground, and before the echo of it settled, another desperate voice rose above the chaos. "Stop! You said we should work together! Why are you killing me?" I didn't even need to look to know how it would end.
"You're a fool," the companion replied with a cruel smirk, stepping forward while the other crawled backward in terror. "For believing we could work together in a competition." His sword rose, glinting under the arena lights, and then it fell. The crowd erupted in cheers. I kept my expression empty as I chewed slowly on the bread Chloe had given me earlier, the soft texture almost laughably ordinary compared to the carnage unfolding in front of us. Blood pooled across the stone floor, bodies scattered like discarded dolls, and the metallic scent in the air grew heavier by the second.
Beside me, someone whimpered. 2/4 1:46 pm Chapter 141 55 vouchers I turned my head and saw Chloe trembling, her fingers digging into the fabric of her dress, her face pale as she stared at the corpses. Her breathing was uneven, her eyes glossy. I studied her for a moment before extending the remaining piece of bread toward her. "Do you want some?" She looked at me as if I had just suggested something absurd, then glanced at the bread, her hand flying to her mouth as she gagged lightly. She shook her head. "I-I can't eat when there's so much blood." I sighed quietly.
I didn't understand why she had come here if she couldn't handle this. This was only the beginning. And yet, I had never once thought Chloe was weak. The sword strapped to her back wasn't ordinary. I could feel it without even touching it. It pulsed with power. A weapon like that wouldn't submit to someone fragile. It required immense spiritual energy and physical strength to even carry, yet Chloe wore it like it weighed nothing at all. Which meant she was strong. She just didn't seem to know it. "I want some." The voice came from my other side.
I turned to see Miles staring at the bread with bright, hungry eyes, completely unfazed by the massacre happening a few steps away. For someone who claimed this was his first time here, he was far too relaxed. What kind of life had he lived to look this calm while people butchered each other in front of him? I pushed the thought away. Curiosity could wait. I handed him half of what remained, and he devoured it immediately, chewing enthusiastically as though we were watching. a festival performance instead of a slaughter.
"That's enough killing for today." The voice rang clear and commanding across the arena. Everyone froze as their weapons halted mid-air. I lifted my gaze along with the rest. The host stood elevated above us, smiling as if she had just witnessed a beautiful dance instead of dozens of deaths. "It seems everyone has done what was required," she said pleasantly. "The numbers have reduced significantly." I glanced around. She wasn't wrong. Where there had once been a sea of contestants, hundreds packed tightly into the inner walls, now barely a fraction remained.
Bodies lay scattered across the stone like fallen leaves, and the survivors stood among them, bloodied. Approximately a hundred left. They had slaughtered each other to earn the right to continue. The host clasped her hands behind her back. "Congratulations. You have all advanced to the next stage, which will begin tomorrow." Murmurs spread among the survivors. 3/4 1:46 pm P P DD Chapter 141 เร 55 vouchers "You should rest well," she continued smoothly. "Eat. Recover, and gather your strength.
Because tomorrow will be far more difficult." Her tone was light, then she turned toward the audience, spreading her arms wide. "Are we not excited for tomorrow?" The crowd roared in approval. My lips twitched faintly. People truly were strange creatures. The host's eyes shifted, and landed directly on me. A slow, knowing smirk curved her lips. "Next time," she said deliberately, her gaze never leaving mine, "no one will be able to search for loopholes in the challenge." A faint ripple of tension moved through the arena.
"It will be very interesting, prepare yourselves to be properly entertained." Her smile widened. And I knew, without a doubt, that tomorrow was going to be troublesome. 4/4 田 AD Comment Send gift No Ads Editorial board Editorial Board: Our editorial team works behind the scenes to refine each chapter, maintain consistency, and deliver the best reading experience.
