Divine Protection of Many Gods Chapter 96

Chapter 96
“[No . 15]!! What’s with that match just now!?” (vulgar man)
That vulgar man who harrassed Leelan after the first round approached with a reddened face .
Leelan immediately hid herself behind me .
“What, you!?” (vulgar man)
Naturally, I confronted that vulgar man .
“Ah~, the girl is no longer willing to, so why don’t you stop already?” (Hibiki)
It was a hassle but it couldn’t be helped . I needed to make an enemy out of him .
“Shut up!! I AM her owner!!” (Hibiki)
Leelan was not a slave . The vulgar man was silenced when I pointed that out .
Anything would do, even when he squealed “Uguu”, I wouldn’t stop since he was not cute at all .
“And you, you are a church official, aren’t you? What will they do if they found out that you treated a girl like that?” (Hibiki)
I went even further . I tried to provoke the church official, and the effect was huge .
“Wha-what the hell!? I-I don’t know . I don’t know anything about this!!” (vulgar man/church official)
He left the waiting room after he said that . It was like he was saying “That’s it!” with his attitude .
The crisis had been averted for now . However, it won’t be for long .
We needed to be ready to raid the facility where Sai found Para .
Sai had brought the goblin escort to keep watch around the facility .
Even as we spoke, they were wandering around, wearing the [Goblin Transport] uniforms and carrying around an advertising signboard .
They didn’t feel uncomfortable since they were already used to doing advertisement while walking on the road after the previous request .
Children treated them as some sort of mascot and they reacted in kind with a smile .
The goblins were ordered to only take note if there were any big enough “movements” .
If the “movement” was done during the daytime, it shouldn’t be so easy to do since the facility was reasonably big in terms of size .
But first, let’s continue with the second round matches .
Second round, third match .
Lux VS Beastman Martial Artist .
Dancing through Lux’s fierce sword attacks, the martial artist managed to enter his ideal range .
For a few minutes in the beginning, the martial artist put on some pressure .
However, the situation was reversed when Lux threw away his sword and fought bare handed .
The martial artist was actually being overwhelmed by the fighting style he should have been the most familiar with .
It was probably because the number of strikes were beyond what the martial artist could handle .
In other words, the martial artist’ skill and technique may be superior .
But Lux bridged those gaps with the speed of his attacks, and had even surpassed it .
[Fierce Sword] turned into [Fierce Fist] .
It completely overwhelmed the martial artist’ guard, the speed of the moves tore down the technique he used to guard against it .
The battle between [Human] VS [Beast] lasted a fair bit longer .
“This guy is amazing . He’s incredibly strong even when fighting barehanded . ” (Hibiki)
The martial artist raised his arms up, breathing heavily .
The raised arms were bleeding all over the place .
Lux tried to talk to the martial artist . But the martial artist shook his head .
The referee rushed over, and announced the victor .
“Winner, Hylux Braveheart . ” (referee)
Apparently, the talk was about recommendation to surrender the match .
He was a strong but gentle hearted man after all .
“I’m back, eh, is it just me or have you got along really well with that girl already?” (Lux)
That was what Lux first said when he returned .
“Welcome back, that was an amazing fight . ” (Hibiki)
“Your fight was more surprising than mine . ” (Lux)
What surprised Lux the most was how close I was with Leelan now .
At the moment, the girl was sitting on my lap watching the match from the waiting room .
She seemed to be having fun, bouncing her body back and forth, swinging her legs up and down, laughing cheerfully .
Thanks to that, I had to secure her position with my hands around her belly so that she wouldn’t fall off .
“Is there something strange?” (Hibiki)
Since Leelan was a girl, if I raised the position of my hands even a bit higher, I would end up in that place .
Therefore, I kept my hands still around Leelan’s waist .
“Well, I guess it’s fine . She has a nice smile . ” (Lux)
Lux was convinced and didn’t pry any further, instead choosing to watch the next match .
Fourth match .
It was the match of the Elven Bard against Royal Guard A .
Did they get discouraged by the first round, since the live commentator was so silent .
The elf started to play the harp .
Having learnt from the first round, the royal guard A seemed to have put on earplugs and kept on attacking while ignoring the music .
The elf didn’t panic, and continued to defend against the royal guard A with a dagger .
The intense clashes went on for a while, until the royal guard A found an opening and pushed the elf down . The royal guard A then proceed to mount the elf .
The elf tried to escape by pushing the harp against the royal guard’s face . No, that’s only what it looked like .
In the next moment, the elf plucked the harp’s string and began to play right in the royal guard A’s face .
It sounded like broken up melodies that could barely be said to be a performance, but it was still enough to induce the royal guard A to sleep .
And then the elf laid on her back just like that with the royal guard A sleeping on top .
“Eh? The royal guard is wearing earplugs, isn’t he? Then why did he still fall asleep?” (Lux)
“That’s, I guess she used the harp to conduct it through the bone . ” (Hibiki)
My guess was that the elf used the royal guard A’s face to send the harp’s vibrations directly to his brain .
Lux seemed to be clueless still? Scratching my head, I suppose I should just explain it .
“Cover your ears . ” (Hibiki)
Lux obediently covered his ears . Leelan who was sitting on my lap also did the same .
“A—-” (Hibiki)
I opened my mouth and let out a sound . I signaled them with my gaze to imitate me, and they both began to say “a—” .
“A——-” (Lux)
“A——-” (Leelan)
For some reason the two of them were competing .
The result was Lux’s win . Honestly, I felt that it was childish .
“Even though your ears are covered you can still hear your own voice, right? The vibration from your voice goes to your brain by vibrating through your skull . ” (Hibiki)
“I see . ” (Lux)
“Big bro, you are so knowledgeable . ” (Hibiki)
While the two were admiring me, the fifth match had begun .
Mister X VS Male Centaur .
The result was, Mister X won .
Horse and whip, the compatibility couldn’t be any better than that .
Sixth match .
Female Centaur VS Ayla
The female centaur immediately kneeled on the ground just like the wyvern from Ayla’s previous match .
“I-I need to look after my beloved husband!!” (female centaur)
I expected that she would have given up at the very beginning, but it seemed that surrendering immediately was not allowed in the rules .
It was a measure to prevent the standard of the tournament from going down .
But you still could do something equivalent to “I want to surrender”, or so I thought .
Seventh match .
Male Slave Warrior VS Female Slave Warrior
Of course I was rooting for the amazoness to win .
The match was full of dodges .
Morning star and claymore . Both were weapons that could decide the fight in a single blow .
The amazoness won the match without any visible tension .
The morning star man was by no means inferior to the amazoness .
The reason why he was defeated, was because he was a man .
The amazoness entered the battle wearing bikini-like leather armor .
On top of that, she was actually strong enough to wield a claymore .
Although she was quite tall for a woman, her body was curved in the right places, but tight and strong in the remaining due to her training as a warrior .
In short, he was mesmerized by the two melons bouncing in front of him as they moved around the arena .
Even though he was a trained warrior, there was still the fact that he was a slave that normally had a hard time getting the opportunity to deal with his sexual desire .
Nonetheless, he had a satisfied look on his face .
Eighth match .
Renown swordsman VS Muscle head Demon .
Learning that shallow slashes wouldn’t work from the previous match, the swordsman rushed at the demon as soon as the match began .
The demon was going to try to receive the sword attack, but refrained from doing so after noticing something .
Apparently, taking a sword slash to the belly was too dangerous even for a demon .
The swordsman grinned, despite having his attack avoided . Judging from the evasion, he judged that the attack would be effective .
The swordsman kept rushing in repeatedly .
This repeated until the fifth time . The demon let the sword pierce its shoulder and went for a tackling move .
The sword greatly bent, and finally broke in the middle .
The swordsman had a stunned look on his face before he fell prey to the musclehead demon’s tackle and got blown away outside the stage .
The demon casually picked out the leftover tip of the sword that was still lodged in its shoulder and went down the stage proudly .
And with that, we got the best 8 .
Anyone could win the tournament .
