The first one to enter the platform was the Duke and General Jin. The two of them bowed as equals and stood their stances for a few seconds before the Duke made the first movement. Though it was not his style at all. He was always the one waiting for the other to start the combat but he knew that General Jin was not an ordinary contender.If he gave him a slight advantage, he will use it against him not minding that he was his superior in rank. When in combat any title didn't seem to matter.The Duke took out his sword, the black sword with a raging red dragon engraved in the handle and growing into the blade. It seemed fantastic and imposing. How many had lost to that sword?No one would dare to answer as it had passed from generations to the most powerful descendants of the Royal House. This time, no one would dare to claim that position but the Duke."Excellent, boy," the man smiled, though he wasn't that old, he should have been at least a couple of y

The battle lasted for a few more minutes before Gia created a distraction and mercilessly pushed Devon outside the platform. It was a dirty trick, Devon was already sweating from the extreme abuse of countless fireballs she had to dodge and was about to give up but Gia kept taunting her until she was weak enough for Gia to punch her in the stomach with a quick move of her feet. Devon was sent flying outside the platform.Elton was already prepared to catch her not before sending a glare to Gia. They were friends from childhood, and so she knew his affections towards the beautiful fairy, but it seemed that she chose to discard any sense of friendship and rationality that day.Gia only glared back and smirked, but her smile was not on Elton but the woman behind. The one seated in the lap of the beautiful man she had been obsessed with long ago. Right now, she didn't care anymore to be seen as her true self. Right now, she wanted to show everyone what she is capable of, e

Ilian was not someone to use dirty methods to win a fight, he will always be a straightforward warrior. That was the way his Master taught him even if all his life had been a constant battle of wits and schemes against him. He was an outright person.However, that didn't mean he was a fool and even if he was young, in fact, much younger than many of the dragons fighting in the tournament this year, he was a bit more experienced in fighting the ones hiding in the shadows. Secret attacks, assassination attacks, poison, concealed weapons, potions, and so on. Not only once he was attacked by those. He had been protecting his mother for so long too.So, when an idiot called Shane dared to use a secret weapon with poison just a second before being pushed outside the platform, he was supposed to see it coming, there was no doubt on that. No one would believe he was distracted. And he wasn't.He decided to use that single idiot moment of Shane to his advantage and take

Master Viel was impressed, he had seen the little woman fight in the second stage, and he knew right away that she was a witch though she was trying to hide her identity. However, what impressed him was not her space magic like many others but her stubbornness to not show her true abilities and skills. Even if those could be stronger than those other powers.There is much more than meets the eye with the little duchess. Not once she had used her inborn magic as a witch to let out her identity, not even now when she can use it to her advantage."Impressive," Master Viel conceded, but he didn't lower the illusion, moreover, he made it more powerful, the mist became denser and the waves of weapons increased at random. "However, this will not be enough, little fairy, what can you do with that?"Emma didn't answer but sneered, she didn't hide those balls of fire just to play around, they were to be used for an emergency. However, this time they will be useful, later

The battle continued for a few more minutes and many waves of mighty animals appearing uncontrollably. Master Leiva continued to amaze the public with his fast speed and the way he sent out the beast flying away from the platform and disappearing right before they could touch the crowd. Though, after so many times doing that, their fight transformed into a resistance contest. The winner will be the one whose magic was enough to resist the entire battle. Miss Mellie with her beast magic or Master Leiva with his speed."Who do you think will win?" Emma asked Liam, but he only smiled."Her…" That was his only word and Emma furrowed her brow. The cute little woman was a knight under the Duke army, but she didn't seem so powerful to win. She was sweating lots and her breathing looked painful and difficult. Even if her invocation magic looked extraordinary and difficult to counterattack, the way Master Leiva retaliated wasn't as if he was making much effort."W
