The Dream Saga

I asked everyone to stop whatever they were doing because I heard the anchor saying something about the match. I was shocked because of what I heard. I couldn't believe my own ears for a minute when I heard it again.

"The match has ended with a shocking outcome" 

Yes, what I heard was right. 'the match was finished' We had a winner but who. I was frightened because of two things. First, whoever was the winner was not a normal person he was a beast because the one who lost was no easy opponent. And second, he was going to be my opponent either in the semi-finals or the finals, but it was not what frightened me. The thing which frightened me was the fear that what if it was Beelzebub who lost. 

"Skyler, call Lee! I need to talk to him!" I shouted in a fearful tone.

"Wait a min, and bitch don't yell at me!" She ran to the door and told me by slightly turning.

"Sabir, switch on the TV, I mean the magic mirror."

He made a look and turned the TV on, but I only saw the people cheering and the Anchor hosting they were not focusing the camera on the winner and after a few frames, I saw someone lying on the ground knocked out. His face was turned toward the ground so his face was not clearly visible But, I recognized his clothes.

It was a pink-colored fashionable combat outfit and which was definitely not what was Beelzebub wearing; he wore a yellow-colored outfit and in the next few seconds, my eyes got onto the winner and it was Beelzebub.

"The winner we have is Tom Beelzebub, representing the 'sin of gluttony' everyone please stand up in your seats for a thunderous applause," the anchor officially announced the winner of the match. 

I had many questions rushing through my mind; how did he lose? How did Beelzebub win the match so easily and quickly? Was he this powerful from the start? I was stressed and Sabir knew it from my face. He quickly turned off the TV in response. 

"It's okay, Kai. Don't stress too much." He tried to comfort me, but it was not helping.

"No! Sabir, it is a matter of worry! Look, he finished the match in less than ten minutes. How can I stay calm!" I bawled out and, in the meantime, Lee entered the room, following Skyler.

"Kai, come out with me we need to talk immediately!" As he entered the room in worry, and the first thing he asked was to come outside.

My leg was completely healed and other injuries as well. I was recovered and recharged; I wore my flippers and ran out with him swiftly. Before exiting, Sabir and Skyler smiled and patted on my back to wish me luck.

We were in the corridor and before talking; we made sure no one was eavesdropping on us, and once we checked every corner, we began our conversation.

"Lee, did you watch the match? He won it as it was some kind of arm-wrestling contest. He's so strong, isn't he?" I asked him all the questions at once, as I was frustrated.

"Hey, hey, calm down! You need to be in a clear mind if you want to make it to the final and defeat him. I figured out something!" He was always thinking two steps ahead of me, and it was a relief for me. 

"I know how he won the match he isn't super strong or something it was his luck that his opponent fell into his trap,"

"He is a master strategist, I would say."

"Maybe, because he was always training instead of slacking off from childhood" 

"So, what do think Lee, how will I defeat him?" Here was the biggest question I had since the match and it was the most bothersome.

"I have a plan for that. Come closer, I'll whisper in your ears." He blinked and told me the whole strategy for the match if I faced him. And it was a full proof strategy which had a very low chance of failure still, it all depended on me. 

"He just keeps a calm and cool mind, unlike others, and that's the reason for his victory. It'd be best if you make him lose his cool. Then it'd play out as we want the match to be, but still, it's hard match." He scratched his head in some strategic thoughts.

"Hey, we can't just focus on Beelzebub! We have Asmodeus as well ignoring him can be fatal for us!!"

Lee smiled and looked in my eye and told me, "Don't worry, I have a perfect plan for him, let me tell you, have you noticed he tries to deceive his opponents instead of direct attack he tries to play it clear and easy, but if he has a match against you his powers will fail in front of your serpent powers. But even though we have an upper hand, we can't take him lightly. Keep yourself safe from his traps"

He again amazed me and this time I had nothing to worry about. "Sure, the leviathans will win!" while I and Lee talked we heard an announcement.

"W O W, wow! I can't believe we watched such big showdowns in just the first matches and truly I don't have any words to explain how amazed and glad I am to be here. I'd say this is once in a millennium tournament! Don't you all agree with me if yes shout 'Aye' in response?" He aimed his microphone toward the Public to get their reaction and the response was wholesome.

"Now, when the first three matches are over, I would like to announce the beginning of the semi-finals right now!" 

"Before I make any further announcements, I would be glad if all the three participants come to the arena." He called us to the arena, and it was the time to get a finalist.

***

"Kai, go get dressed you need to go to the arena and why do you always change into your bunny pajamas and please dump these panda flippers, you look so hilarious! I'm barely holding my laugh!" He looked at me from tip to toe before sending me to the dressing room.

"Ha-ha! Well, if it makes you laugh, then I have no problem with it! I would love to wear these." I smirked with an erotic look on my face to annoy him a little before running away.

As he heard me say these, his eyes widened with a flushed face. But I guess by now he had already learned how to counter these. "Heyyy! Ahhhh! I knew it! You are gay!! You are homosexual! Why did you hide it from me, I supported you in everything!!"

"Ah! No!!!" I wanted to annoy him a little more, but I ran away, because I was already getting late!

I got dressed and rushed to the arena in the hallway I met with Asmodeus and Beelzebub; they were confident and ready to tear anyone. All three of us exited out of the hallway together and people's cheers intensified to ten folds. 

"Welcome back, our great devil kings!" the anchor greeted us and took another scroll and opened it.

"Without wasting any time, I would like to announce the beginning of the semi-finals"

"I would like the lady lucifer to tell the public and our kings, about the finalists and semi-finalist and their scores" all the eyes moved from the anchor to the queen.

As the queen stood up and all the public stood up with her in respect. She sipped her wine and passed a beautiful smile; she was pretty beautiful for an older woman, but nothing in this magical world was permitted.

"Thank you, Mr. anchor, for giving me this beautiful chance to announce the finalist myself, so, before telling the finalist I would like to tell the scores"

She opened a paper and read the scores 

"Three ninety-nine"

"Four hundred twenty-two"

"And Four hundred-fifty."

"some suspense is needed before announcing something so anticipating" she giggled a little.

"But I won't keep it for long,"

"Asmodeus has been placed into the semi-finals with a score of three seventy-nine"

"Now the most interesting the one you all want to know haha!"

"With the score of four hundred and twenty-two, the devil who has been placed in the semi-finals is…."

The suspense was killing me; it was really annoying. Everyone was holding their hearts in their hands because the one who gets in the finals has more time and stamina and has a higher chance of winning the tournament.

"The second devil to land in the semi-finals is Bee- or Le- ha-ha" she was teasing everyone way too much the guests were enjoying this while the public had a pissed smile on their face"

"Alright no more teasing! The second semi-finalist is 'Beelzebub' and the finalist is 'Leviathan'"

I was shocked because I was the finalist, but how?
