Reincarnated As A Demonic Dragon, I Formed A Pact With A Beautiful Female Lord - Chapter 148

148 Planning To Make It Into The Finals

When Lord Bevin saw the Light Mage approach, he was nervous.

His hero, the Red-Eyed Black Dragon, was about as strong as the Light Mage.

If they fought together, it was hard to tell which one would win.

“D*mn it!” muttered Lord Bevin. “I was just looking for a place to hide! How could he find me here?”

!!
As a Lord who was well-versed in the ways of the competition, the first thing he did after entering the arena was to find a place to hide.

By the time the other Lords were almost done killing each other, he would have made it into the finals. At least, that was his plan.

However, he had been discovered!

Lord Bevin cursed. The Red-Eyed Black Dragon beside him snorted coldly. He was spirited for a fight.

“Light Mage,” said the Red-Eyed Black Dragon. “Come then. Let’s continue with the old fuel between the Light and the Dark!”

But the Light Mage did something unexpected. She waved her hand and clarified. Don’t misunderstand. I am not here to fight. Instead, I want to offer an alliance.”

‘An alliance?’ Lord Bevin thought he was better off alone.

He didn’t know about the long-lasting feud between the Light-Type and Dark-Type heroes. Therefore, he wasn’t as shocked as he should have been.

Red-Eyed Black Dragon was stunned. His first thought was that this Light Mage was bluffing!

The enmity between the Light-Types and Dark-Types spanned centuries. They could never ally with each other.

When the two creatures faced each other, it was even difficult to restrain themselves from fighting on the spot.

“Alliance? That’s impossible!” said the Red-Eyed Black Dragon.

The Light Mage explained, “It’s true. Believe me. I am also as baffled as you. I never imagined there would come a time when we would work together. But… the enemy we encountered this time is too powerful.”

The Light Mage told them everything about Su Wan and her hero, who had managed to defeat the Lords till now. She told them about the other two Lords who had joined her side.

The Red-Eyed Black Dragon fell silent. He hadn’t expected that there would be someone so powerful in the competition.

“Our current plan is to join forces with the remaining Lords. The six of us can unite to defeat the three Lords. After that, the final champion will emerge from among these six Lords.”

The Light Mage told Lord Bevin that if he agreed to this alliance, he only had to appear on the top of the Snow Mountain when the sun rose. Then, the Light Mage turned into a beam of light and disappeared.

Only Lord Bevin and his hero, the Red-Eyed Black Dragon, were left now.

“Blackie, what do you think we should do?” asked Lord Bevin.

The Red-Eyed Black Dragon was deep in thought. “The Light-Types are all hypocrites! You can’t believe anything they say…”

The Red-Eyed Black Dragon believed that the enemy was too powerful, and they wanted to join forces. However, he also knew how the Light-Types were. “I am sure the Light-Types will try to use the alliance to their advantage. If we join them, they might stab us in the back right when we fight the enemy.”

Lord Bevin nodded in agreement. “Blackie, your guess might be correct. The rest are all scum! They will stab us in the back!”

Lord Bevin was sure that the others would use him and his hero to get rid of Su Wan and the other Lords, and then they would stab him in the back.

“However, I don’t think we have a choice,” said Lord Bevin. “If we refuse their offer of alliance, then they will come after us first after they join forces with the other Lords.”

He wanted the other Lords to fight among themselves. However, he knew that the other Lords weren’t stupid. The three Light-Type heroes and their Lords had already banded together. The other Lords wouldn’t take the risk. After all of them joined forces, they would seek out those without a side to eliminate first.

If Bevin was in charge, he would have done the same. The ones who remained neutral couldn’t be trusted. Who knew if they would take advantage of the battle and join the winning side at the last moment?

“Even if we join them, we have to make sure we don’t reveal our trump cards,” said Lord Bevin. “It’s six against three, after all. We just need to fight a little.”

“Reserve your strength and wait for the final showdown after the enemy is killed!” said Lord Bevin to his hero.

He believed that the six against three was an easy win. The three Lords would definitely suffer a crushing defeat. The outcome of the battle was already decided!

Hence, Lord Bevin thought he could contribute to eliminating the three Lords without much effort.

The Red-Eyed Black Dragon nodded. “But we don’t know anything about the enemy.”

After some serious consideration, the Red-Eyed Black Dragon felt that it was inappropriate to agree to an alliance with the Light Mage so soon. At the very least, he wanted to investigate further and find out about the enemy before making a decision.

“What if the three enemies only have a grudge against the Light-Types?” asked the Red-Eyed Black Dragon. “What if they leave us alone if we remain neutral?”

The Red-Eyed Black Dragon considered the possibility that the three enemy Lords just might be seeking to eliminate the Light-Types and not the whole contestants.

If that was the case, Lord Bevin just needed to hide and wait for the outcome. They could even reap the benefits from the spoils. However, if they agreed to this alliance, they would be dragged into a bloody war.

“Blackie, what you say makes sense too…,” said Lord Bevin. “Let’s do this. Let’s go and check on the enemy.”

Lord Bevin decided to listen to his hero, and they both decided to gather more information about the enemy. That way, they could make a more informed decision on which side to choose.
