Unfortunately for Luca, the next few rounds were the same. The only one fighting was Cyrus, whereas Juin merely sat on the stage, kicking his legs nonchalantly while watching his master collecting the winnings from the bet.
After all, his opponents were mostly weaklings that Cyrus could deal with himself.
Juin's name was getting more and more… infamous. Everyone knew who he was, but they all referred to him as the "guy who's cheating through the elimination battle by using his pet". However, he did not care about it. Instead, he paid more attention to the other powerhouses.
Saville and Caelian woke up not long after Juin's first battle ended, and because of their battle, which ended up in a tie, they were given the chance to compete with the other winners of the first round, which they coasted through easily.
"Where are you going?" Tucker asked when Juin was about to leave the battle stage following another battle, which Cyrus won for him.
With this one, it marked the end of the day for Juin. He would be entering the semi-finals tomorrow. So far, the decided semi-finalists were him, Luca, Saville, Caelian, as well as Wolfe's brother, Augustine.
"Well, we are done here anyway, so I'm going to check out Wolfe's battle," Juin said nonchalantly. "It's his last battle."
"I think by the time you got there, he would have been done with the battle. Just stay here. This is the last battle of the day anyway. You can always get the reports of other people's battles," Tucker said as he gleefully counted a stack of Atlantean money in his hand.
"How?"
Tucker lifted the stack of money and used it to fan himself. "With this, of course!"
When they were resting in Juin's room, Juin said, while looking at the reports, "Wolfe did not even use his soul power, and he managed to get to the semifinal round? Such a contrast with his brother, who used his power right from the get-go. And Luca… 'The crazy water horse of the century…'. Well, that's an aptly given name."
Saville and Caelian's fights after the first battle had been tamer, so there wasn't a need to read through their reports.
"Mr. Tucker, do you know who is my first opponent for tomorrow?" Juin asked, glancing at Cyrus, who had already fallen asleep on the bed after devouring enough food for a whole village.
Tucker thought for a while and shrugged. "Not really. I heard rumors that it might be either Luca or Wolfe, but we won't know for sure until tomorrow."
He then smirked and said, "Why? Afraid now?"
"No…" Juin mumbled. "Just want to know…"
He then stood up and said, "I think I want to go for a walk…"
When he walked to the door, he could hear Tucker say, "Don't walk too far. This is not your world. And come back early. Tomorrow is a big day!"
"Alright…" Juin said before quickly slipping out of the room.
And every now and then, he would see small kids running around, which would have spooked him had it not for the constant lighting in this place. Unlike countries that were on land, underwater countries tended to have the same amount of light whether it was night or day. Of course, this light was artificially created by wards and magic.
"I wonder if they can sleep well," Juin thought as he continued walking down the street. He was getting further and further away from the palace, as well as the place where he was currently staying in.
After about 15 minutes of walk, he saw a place fully lit up by pink lanterns.
"No way…" he mumbled to himself as his eyes went wide open at the sight of a fat man with his hand inside a woman's shirt. Instead of being offended, the woman merely laughed and gently patted the man's arm. "A brothel? Like in movies?!"
Moving closer while hiding himself in a corner, he quickly took a peek. Unless the last stretch of road, this place was still bustling with life. People, some of whom he had seen at the arena earlier, were coming in and out of the place, seemingly drunken and high on drugs.
Some of the more sober ones had their masks on as they chatted outside the building.
The beautiful women and men who were dressed provocatively flirted with the customers. All of them looked more like lingerie models. Some of them were leaning against their customers with flirtatious smiles, touching their customers' bodies slowly and seductively without actually touching the main parts.
Some of the more open-minded ones were even kissing provocatively at a corner.
"Wait… Isn't that… Augustine?" Juin gasped when he saw Wolfe's older twin brother flirting and kissing one of the courtesans. The man then placed a hand around the courtesan's shoulders and took her into the building, where he was greeted by some important looking people at the main door. "Wow… I'd have never believed this if someone else were to tell me about it…" Juin mumbled to himself as he watched Augustine disappear into the building.
"Hmm, I think that courtesan is going to have a great time…" Lucifer mumbled, suddenly appearing next to Juin and startling him for a moment.
"Jeez! Can't you give me a sign before popping out?" Juin gasped while rubbing his c.h.e.s.t.
Hearing the tone in his voice, Lucifer raised an eyebrow at him, with a look that said, "I dare you to say it again…"
Seeing that, Juin knew that he had crossed a line, so he quickly cleared his throat and apologized. "Sorry, I was just startled…"
He then looked away from Lucifer, afraid that the guy would explode at this moment.
Thankfully, Lucifer had no mood to be mad at him now. He looked over at the beautiful blue-haired courtesans and a wistful smile appeared on his face as he sighed softly. "I miss my physical body… I could have…"
"Don't you have a fiancee?" Juin interrupted Lucifer's thought process, which earned him a glare.
"She's a fiancee, not a wife…" Lucifer said with a frown. He then grinned and added. "Isn't there a saying on Earth? 'Just because there's a goalkeeper doesn't mean that you can't shoot'? I find this saying to be very comforting."
Juin looked at him suspiciously. Over the time, he had come to know Lucifer better, and this Daemon King was definitely someone who was afraid of his wife… or fiancee, despite how tough he tried to appear to be. So, whatever he said right now might just be a "man" thing.
Rolling his eyes, Juin thought to himself, "Men of all worlds are the same…"
He then facepalmed and thought to himself with a frown, "No, wait! I'm not the same!"
Lucifer ignored his vessel's constantly changing facial expressions and focused instead on the courtesans and the actions between men and women. Suddenly, he said with a somewhat surprised tone, "Well, well, well… Who's that…?"
