Chapter 110- A New Ranking

ONE WEEK LATER. Raph's POV. The Rankings Battle had ended with a lot of memories, to say the least. Firstly, the number of People that had come to watch the battle had been halved, with a lot of families lost that day, and thus it was given the name, The Day of the Bloody Colosseum. It was no surprise there, after all, in order to summon a 7th tier Great Demon, you needed the blood of at least ten to twenty Masters. Their burials took place after two days, just after the cleaning and rebuilding of the Colosseum had taken place. Secondly, the King had declared a State of Growth. Now, everyone is going to be focused on quickly building their strength for the upcoming confrontation against the Demonic Realm. It was surprising enough that he would declare such, but after losing so much in his absence, he must have found it only right to do so. Well, I guess it was a good thing he left before the whole incident occurred. It would have been trouble if the King had passed away during the whole incident. Much worse than a Patriarch dying in fact. Thirdly, the Great Families accounted no loss after the whole ordeal...well except one and the Rankings had been adjusted four days later. We had to remain in the Capital City for a while as a result. Now the Rankings were as such. The First- Jun. The Second- Kang Lin. The Third- Merlin. The Fourth- Silvan. The Fifth- Lucia. The Sixth- Teras. The Seventh- Son Goku. The Eighth- Aquarius. The Ninth- La Teur. Stay connected through empire The Tenth- Techa. The Eleventh- Vinci. The Twelfth- Arcanus. Well, not just the win, but the battle prowess was taken into account, as well as their demeanor. Since Louis, who should have clearly won against Mariam, was put below her. It must mean they took his demeanor as unacceptable, probably. The Rankings were the last of my worries. Fourthly, The Greater Sins escaped. They used the explosion as a means to cast a long distance teleportation spell and escaped from Kira Merlin's grasp...and there was a good chance that both could have been captured. After all, My father had dealt a heavy blow to them. Some were interesting stories I once read as a child in my past life, while others were about sword kills, sword arts, and sword movements. Although the Exclusive Jun Sword Arts weren't available here, there should be some interesting ones that my father had collected over the years. The shelves were arranged on either side of the room, two on one side and three on the opposite side, leaving the middle for two long tables and chairs. The tables and chairs were made from bright oakwood, with intricate designs rivaling those of the Royal Library, evident to the craftsmanship. Seated across from the door, on one of the cushioned chairs, was Gloria, her gaze fixed on some texts before lifting up towards her brother, a small smile escaping her tired face. 'Well, she is our acting Duchess', I thought to myself with a sigh as I approached her. After my father's absence, my mother had quickly taken position as the Family's Patriarch, but sadly, she wasn't as strong as my father, so her presence was hardly recognized. My sister, on the other hand, who had the most potential of becoming an eleventh and even above that, was here, taking the position as Assistant in name but performing the tasks in my mother's stead. 'It wasn't that Mother left it to her, more like she's too saddened by the loss to perform her tasks properly...of course, unless it was urgent.' I walked over to one of the shelves, scanning through and picked up two interesting books. One was "The History of the Jun" and the other was titled "Abbreviated Version of the Dark Age". The Dark Age was similar to the current crisis, with demons and devils contacting humans and a time of plague and suffering descending upon them, until the appearance of the goddess Mayura. I sat down on a chair next to Gloria, picking up one of the cut pieces of apple and ate it. "You seem busy," I said, meeting her gaze with a narrow smile. She shrugged in response. "One of us has to be busy." I stared at her for a while, then turned to look away. My sisters were all grown up now. Fiona, 23, had her own thing going on and had to return to her Tower soon, after all the Jun Tower was still in its developing stages. She couldn't leave it for too long. Thalia, 18, still had two years left in the Academy. Rebecca, 20, was in her last year. Both had to return three days after the end of the Rankings Battle. I would be joining them in a month's time as well. Morganna, 17, was currently staying in my mother's mansion, likely trying to appease her. And Gloria, 24, was in charge of our army and handling state matters. 'Life is tough once you're a grownup, huh,' I thought with a sigh. "Never mind that, what are you reading?" Gloria asked, her gaze on the two dark books on the table. "Oh, this? Just thought I might look into some history now," I replied with a shrug of my own.
