Chapter 270 - Beautiful Love.
''Beautiful Love!'' Queen Diana's sweet voice echoed in Darkside's ears.
[Beautiful Love Used!]
However, that voice rang warning bells in his mind.
*STAB*
*STAB*
*STAB*
Three pink arrows stabbed through his thigh, but Darkside felt something weird spreading in his body.
Before, when he was hit by the arrows, he felt the numbing feeling that was quite common among Players, but now, he felt relaxation and happiness clouding his mind.
''W-What is happening?'' Darkside swayed side to side, barely able to keep standing.
From the wound on his thigh, a feeling of sweetness made his heartbeat rapid, like he was in front of his first love.
In his eyes, heart symbols appeared out of nowhere.
''Haahhh… Haahhh…'' Around his cheeks, a hue of pink appeared.
A rough and unsteady way of breathing made him look intoxicated.
He raised his head and saw the beautiful Queen Diana standing with her attractiveness visible to everyone, but in his eyes, she looked like Goddess who descended upon the mortal realm.
''Goddess…'' He murmured with a face of love.
His body slowly lowered until he was kneeling with his head lowered, ''My Queen…''
The spectators looked utterly shocked.
Only a moment ago, he was screaming bitch; now, he was treating like Queen Diana was way above his mortal status.
''What the hell happened to him?''
''Change of heart..?''
''Simp *Cough*, oops, excuse me.''
The room where League of Assassins, Wraithless, and Isaac were gathered.
Deathsong pushed his head through the bars that were stopping him from rushing to the arena, ''Darkside, what the hell are you doing?!''
The League of Assassins looked embarrassed after witnessing their Guild Leader's antics.
Who would be afraid of them after this?
Members of Wraithless frowned at the sight.
The person currently kneeling didn't seem like the maniac who even made them fearful deep in their hearts.
However, they had to use all their willpower not to cringe at the sight.
''Wow.'' Isaac knew that Diana's arrows caused the sudden change in Darkside's attitude, ''So powerful… Isn't this basically mind control?''
Inside the Gladiator spectator area.
''She has… Legacy?'' Darth locked gazes with other Black Arrow members.
Each one of them looked absolutely shocked.
They weren't aware that their Guild Leader was Legacy Carrier!
They knew Queen Diana's abilities, but not even once they had seen her using a mind-controlling ability.
The Players in the room looked shocked.
In their eyes, the menacing leader of the League of Assassins became a timid puppy.
Many of them had to resist laughing. Otherwise, they could become the next target of the League of Assassins, who have a track record of Assassinating players they don't like.
Back in the arena.
Queen Diana walked next to Darkside and patted his head, ''Who is a bad boy?''
''I am… Please forgive me.'' Darkside replied with a lovestruck voice and felt his body shuddering after feeling Queen Diana's soft hand touching him.
''Sure, but for one condition.'' She removed the hand, which received a disappointed sigh from Darkside.
''Anything, My Queen.''
Queen Diana took an arrow from the quiver and put it on the bowstring.
She aimed and pulled the string, ''You have been forgiven.''
Darkside smiled, having no idea that she was about to penetrate his head with a sharp arrow.
However, at that moment, the heart pupils in his eyes faded away.
His eyes widened in rage, and using his two daggers; he stabbed them deep inside Queen Diana's thighs!
*Stab!*
*Stab!*
*Spurt!*
Queen Diana's eyes widened in shock, and she saw how two sharp items pierced through her legs, leaving two gaping holes behind.
Darkside stood up and angrily punched her squarely in the face.
*Thud*
With the strong impact of the punch, Queen Diana stumbled backward and fell down on her butt.
From her nose, a trail of blue blood trailed down.
She touched her numb nose and asked with teary eyes, ''How? T-The effect was supposed to last for a minute.''
Darkside grabbed his two daggers from the ground and wiped the blood with his sleeves, ''Bitch… I don't know why.''
He had a hunch, however.
He glanced at the holographic screen before him and debated whether that was the reason.
[Legacy: None + Legacy Contender]
Queen Diana tried to stand up, but when Darkside caught a glimpse of her trying, he punched her in the face and forced her to stay on the ground.
Her HP kept reducing rapidly.
[HP: 30/450]
Seeing the HP, her heart started beating rapidly.
A sadistic grin could be seen on Darkside's face, which made nearby spectators grind their teeth in hate.
None of them could enjoy the sight, which was why Colosseum was created.
For families, friends, lovers, and enemies to enjoy a show that was for everyone.
The children covered their eyes in fear.
Most of them took a liking to Queen Diana, and seeing the scene made them think that Darkside was a bogeyman in the flesh.
Members of Black Arrow gritted their teeth in hate.
The League of Assassins laughed with a joyful look and was relieved to see their Leader back on his feet, striking fear in the hearts of his enemies.
''Raise your head.'' Darkside raised Queen Diana's chin with the tip of his dagger, making her look him straight in the eye.
However, after doing so, his body froze after his gaze was locked with Queen Diana's.
Her teary eyes made her look pitiful, but underneath all the tears, something was hidden.
Hidden in the color of pink.
The heart pupils reappeared, but only for a second.
Darkside flinched and shook his head after the sudden shock, but once his eyes opened, he came face-to-face with an arrow.
He snapped his head to the side, barely managing to dodge the sharp-edged arrow.
However, another shock was ahead of him, traumatizing him for many years to come.
*CRACK!*
Queen Diana's kick landed on Darkside's groin, breaking something in the process.
Every male audience member shuddered in shock.
Darkside's startled look soon became full-blown panic!
''ARGH!'' He screamed words that were impossible to understand.
Queen Diana pouted and wiped her tears, ''You made me cry. It was your fault…''
In the gladiator's waiting room.
Darth facepalmed and sighed, ''Beautiful and gentle, huh?''
