Supreme Husband System! & Supreme Wife System! - Chapter 579

Chapter 579: Madness and Duel

Irene and Arslan, hiding behind a barrier in the company of five armed men, were horrified by the incessant stream of gunfire and screams.

The thick smoke made it difficult for them to see what was going on outside, but even by the sounds it was clear that something unimaginable was going on there.

Behind the barrier, Bera, having changed her appearance from Elsa, the Duchess of Darkness, to the appearance of her mistress, the Duchess of Madness, in the form of the Valkyrie of Madness, staged a real massacre.

For Bera, the smoke was not a hindrance, she clearly saw all the armed people around and, having complete freedom of action, and also taking into account Arabel’s order to quickly deal with these creatures, she did not hesitate and immediately began to carry out her mission.

In the image of the Valkyrie of Madness, Bera felt truly wonderful. She was a creature of madness herself, and it wasn’t difficult for her to adapt to Valkyrie’s body. She could do things that her mistress Arabel couldn’t even dream of.

Enjoying her freedom, Bera moved from one victim to another, and behind her flapped four massive wings woven from the energy of madness. She showed no mercy to those she attacked, killing and tearing them to pieces, leaving a trail of blood in her wake.

The desperate attempt of the Silver-ranked armed men to resist this monster proved futile. The bullets hit her body, but under the influence of the enormous energy of madness emitted by Bera, they instantly tightened.

The crazier and crueler Bera behaved, the more the energy of madness accumulated in the air, which her body absorbed, making her even stronger and crazier.

Even battle-hardened former military men could not remain indifferent to such a display of brutality.

Bera appeared in front of the soldiers, grabbed them and tore them apart in front of many with frantic laughter. She seemed to be mad with pleasure. It was exactly what she had been missing lately.

Before the smoke cleared, Bera managed to kill almost everyone she could reach. Only a few managed to escape, and that was only because they were the most cowardly and fled at the very beginning of the massacre.

Those who tried to escape at the end couldn’t escape from Bera’s cruel grip.

When the smoke cleared, Irene, Arslan, and five men witnessed Bera’s madness and were horrified. Arslan and Irene couldn’t stand it and, stepping aside, threw up everything that was still left in their stomachs.

And in the midst of it all, she stood, the Duchess of Madness.

From that day on, thanks to those who managed to escape, a terrifying rumor about the massacre by Bera will spread around the world. All responsibility for this will fall on the Duchess of Madness, making her one of the most dangerous members of the Kingdom Guild.

Meanwhile, in the Awakened Association, Idan, a few minutes before the start of the massacre by Bera, froze in complete disbelief.

“Do you want me to kidnap you again?” he asked, not believing what he had just heard.

“Yes, Mr. Ignis, please kidnap me,” Aliya pleaded, turning to Idan through the Soul Force, her voice sounding plaintive.

“Why?” asked Idan, wanting to understand the reason for her request.

All this time, Aliya was standing next to one of the other Beings of Light, looking away and trying to behave as calmly as possible so that no one would notice her conversation with Idan.

“They took “her” from me,” Aliya said, almost crying. “And they also want to give me as a toy to one of the important people from your world.”

“I don’t want that fate,” she added.

“They want to give you away as a toy?” Idan couldn’t believe it.

Until recently, these creatures boasted of nobility and high principles. And now they are ready to sell one of their relatives to other creatures?

“It’s because of the time you abducted me,” Aliya said.

“They don’t see me as an equal anymore. That’s why they took “her” away from me by force and now they decided to get rid of me in such a way as to get at least some benefit from it for themselves.”

After hearing Aliya’s words, Idan became even more disappointed in the Beings of Light.

However, before he could respond, he and Cael were called to the arena, which was specially prepared in the center of the training ground.

By this time, many people had gathered, among whom Idan noticed about ten other Beings of Light hiding among the crowd and pretending to be ordinary Awakened Ones.

Cael came forward and handed Irina, who was acting as the judge, two Rank 5 artifacts and one Rank 4 artifact.

“Stop,” — Idan said when he saw this.

“Take this one away,” he pointed at the Rank 4 artifact.

“Instead, I want my prisoner back,” Idan added, pointing at Aliya.

The crowd began to murmur and whisper.

Aliya, overcome with fear, looked warily at the man standing next to her. When he saw her fright, he misinterpreted it, thinking that she was afraid that she would be handed over to this Ignis.

Irina, squinting, roughly understood what was happening, but decided to remain silent.

Nico and his group were surprised by Idan’s suggestion, as was Jonah, who was standing in the crowd.

Cael frowned at Alia and then at the man next to him. After a moment’s thought, he nodded.

“Okay,” — Cael said, putting away the Rank 4 artifact. He didn’t worry about the bet, being confident of his victory.

Idan nodded, pleased with the result. Now he had a reason to take Aliyah away after the duel was over, even if the other side objected.

“Mr. Ignis, are you ready?” asked Irina.

“Yes, I’m ready,” Idan nodded, taking out his red sword, which was covered with cracks and attracted the attention of everyone present.

Most people laughed at the pitiful state of his weapon.

But among the crowd, a few people recognized this sword.

And those people were Nico, his band, and Iona.

They remembered this sword well and knew who it belonged to.

“Ethan Golding!” they said in their minds at the same time, and their eyes shone.

Iona’s gaze shifted from the sword to Idan, and like Nico, she realized that Ignis was hiding the one who had saved her back in the Northern City.

Nico and the others felt even more inspired when they realized that they had become members of the guild of the man they admired, and that he had been by their side all this time.

“Mr. Cael, are you ready?” asked Irina.

“Ready,” Cael replied confidently, pulling out a golden spear.

“Okay, then I announce that both competitors have accepted this deathmatch challenge by mutual agreement. Only one winner will come out of it. The losing side will not make claims and will not try to take revenge.”

The crowd held its breath.

Irina looked at Idan and Cael once more and said defiantly:

“Fight!”

Cael, with a grin on his face, rushed forward with all his might.

Idan, having already activated the unique ability “Ghost Stats”, which increased his _Dexterity index, calmly and clearly saw Cael’s movements and rushed towards him with the same speed.

The crowd only saw for a moment how the two fighters rushed forward with great speed, and in a split second they saw the result.

Blood splattered all over the arena, golden blood.

Idan calmly stopped where Cael had been standing before. In the place where he had been standing before, the dismembered parts of Cael’s body fell: the head, arms and legs were separated from the torso.

Cael didn’t even have time to realize what had happened.

The last thing he saw was his body falling apart. And the last thought that flashed through his mind was how disappointed he was that he couldn’t smell his master’s stolen underpants today.

I would like to express my gratitude to those who give gifts, power stones and golden tickets. Your support allows me to stay motivated and continue working on the book.
