My Space-Time System

Chapter 435: Serhan’s rotten luck.

Although Serhan’s plan of impressing his dad and making a name for himself was about to be cut short by Lucas, he wasn’t too worried because his performance so far had been quite good. So he was leaving the rest to Blake and the others.

‘All we need is a win against the students of the capital, so it doesn’t matter how badly I lose.’ Serhan thought as he saw Lucas who was quite a distance away from him.

“Begin!” The host announced.

‘He has the golden flames and the water element, meaning the only thing I am superior in is speed.’ Serhan wasn’t confident that it was enough.

Golden flames were not only more than 3 times hotter than normal flames, but a golden flame user also had more control over the fire element. As for the water element, Lucas could use it for both offensive and defensive ways such as quenching his flames.

In just a few seconds, Serhan had completed his plan, but that was when Lucas raised his right hand. The ring on his middle finger lit up and a king rank blazing hawk flew out.

“What the fuck?!” Serhan alongside the audience and other competitors were stunned by the appearance of a blazing hawk.

.....

The blazing hawk stood at a height of 6 meters. It had black contour feathers (the colorful feathers seen on the outside) that were sharp and strong as steel. In combat mode, the wings and tail would begin burning while the contour feathers would be red hot.

“He is a beast tamer with a king rank beast?” Blake couldn’t help but ask because things weren’t adding up.

Lucas was an aquamancer, so him being a beast tamer was not impossible. The problem Blake had with the scenario was the rank of his beast.

Oliver who was the strongest beast tamer in Calton city had only 2 king-rank beasts, which he had trained from a very young age to be obedient.

So it was practically impossible for Lucas who had only learnt how to subdue beasts less than a year to capture or train a king rank beast.

[Beast tamers can create a space linked to them for their beasts, just like your pocket dimension. So the ring just shows that the beast isn’t his.] The system explained.

During the beast tide, Oliver Nystrom hadn’t used any item or artifact to store his beasts instead, he had used a beast tamer spell to summon them from their beast dimension.

‘Are you saying it’s an artifact that can summon a king-rank beast?’ Blake asked.

[No, I am saying that a beast tamer had placed his beast into the ring and had commanded the beast to obey him.] The system explained.

‘So this is how desperate they are to win.’ Blake shook his head.

[Serhan does have rotten luck.] The system said, to which Blake nodded.

...

The appearance of the blazing hawk had shattered all of Serhan’s plans, but the worst part was that he didn’t have time to change his plans because the king-rank beast was already charging a spell.

“Fuck me!” Serhan cursed as he activated lightning reinforcement and dashed out of the way.

BOOM!

Instantly, a large beam of flames shot past the area he just came out from and smashed into the barriers protecting the viewers.

“Holy shi” Before Serhan could curse a tide of golden flames slammed him into the ground.

Thanks to his armor and fire resistance, Serhan wasn’t knocked unconscious, but just as he tried getting up he saw the blazing hawk gliding toward him.

‘Fuck!’

Before he could react, the talons of the blazing hawk were already on him, causing the golden barrier to envelope him.

“Winner of the second match, Lucas!” The host announced.

Unlike Blake’s match where the viewers cheered after the match, the arena was filled with murmurs.

It was clear to the viewers that the blazing hawk was given to him by the royal family because the ring was not with him during the 1st and 2nd events.

They were not happy because this was an event that was meant to showcase the individual skills of each participant, not how many resources their families possessed.

Most of the viewers would have booed Lucas, but doing that was disrespectful to the royal family. So they decided to whisper.

...

Back at the lobby.

The only person shocked and worried about the appearance of a king-rank beast was Castiel. That was because the other 2 students from the capital knew they couldn’t defeat Lucas, while Blake and Luciano already had ways to counter it.

“It’s not as if I was planning on winning in the first place. I will just leave it to Blake and Luciano to handle.” Castiel thought as he began walking up to the platform that took him to the center of the arena.

His opponent was the rank 3 of the capital who awakened the wind and water element, but he wasn’t worried at all.

“Begin!”

Immediately after the host announced the start of the match, the rank 3 brought out an epic tier green bow that had eyes at the belly and back of the bow.

Apart from allowing the user to fire arrows based on the elements of the user, the epic tier bow had an auto lock ability that allowed bows to continuously change direction as they chased after their target.

Although the abilities didn’t look like much, the bow was deadly not only was every shot very powerful but they were all guaranteed hits.

‘I need to probe the abilities of the bow before I can do anything serious.’ Castiel thought as he went into a battle stance.

Woosh!

The rank 3 wasted no time firing an ice arrow that left a large frosty path in the air.
