Chapter 441
Chapter 441: Punishment for insolence.
Luciano had ended the last match of the 2nd round in total domination, leading him to the finals where he would face Blake for the umpteenth time.
Unlike the end of the 1st round, both the contestants and viewers were given 30 minutes to rest up and buy extra snacks for the final showdown.
“Ladies and gentlemen, it is undeniable that this year’s regional competition has been breathtaking from the beginning right up to now.”
“In the first event, we witnessed the tactical prowess and synergy of each team. In the second event, we watched a miraculous and most likely the greatest upset in the last decade of the regional competition.”
“Not only did they single-handedly wipe out the southern team but they had also dominated the 1st seed of the competition and eliminated 2 of them.”
“The domination didn’t stop there, it extended to the final event of the competition. Not only had they won all of their matches, but they had done it in grand style.”
“As for the final showdown that would be taking place in less than 10 minutes, we would be seeing the 2 top students of the eastern region go head to head in a bid to prove who is the strongest student of the Synder empire.”
.....
“Would history repeat itself or would the rank 2 finally overcome this hurdle?” The host announced as his speech riled the blood of the viewers.
The host went on to explain the rewards that the winner of the final match would get.
The first reward was 10 million gold coins, the second was becoming the captain of a special ops unit and finally an artifact from the royal family.
By the time the announcement was over, the time for the break was over and it was time for the fight to start.
Blake and Luciano quickly made their way to the battlefield as they waited for the signal to be given.
“Begin!”
Without wasting time Luciano summoned both the beast-holding ring and the purple armor Lucas had used in the previous match.
‘How? Is that even allowed?’ Blake alongside every single view thought.
[There is nothing in the rules that says you can’t use someone else’s artifact or equipment, so It is allowed. Also, who would have ever thought that someone would allow another person to use his or her equipment?] The system said.
Most equipments had to be bounded to a user before they could make use of it. So why would they even go through so much stress to unbound it since doing so was very difficult.
As for the case of Luciano, it was very different. Both artifacts didn’t need to be bound to function, also they still belonged to the royal meaning any other member could use them as long as they had authorization.
“I thought we would be fighting fair, but since you want to do it this way you leave me no other choice.” Blake said as he threw Ebony and Ivory into the air.
Before the blades touched the floor, the king rank wolves appeared exactly at the same time as the blazing hawk.
“What makes you think this situation would be different?” Blake couldn’t help but ask because history seemed to be repeating itself.
“I am better of course.” Luciano said with a smirk as his entire half of the battlefield erupted in golden flames. He brought out his golden sword and began heating it.
‘Let’s get rid of those wolves first, we will handle Blake last.’ Luciano said to the blazing hawk using the mind link between them.
With his armor that quadrupled his elemental powers, and the king rank beast beside him it would only take less than 30 seconds to deal with Blake.
“GO!”
Once the order was given, the blazing hawk immediately charged as Ebony and Ivory.
ROAR!
Ebony roared, but unlike before the blazing hawk was still coming at him, causing him to be pissed off.
‘What the fuck is going on here.’ Blake was shocked once again when he saw the blazing hawk still coming at them.
[My previous guess was that it was either scared or that it had something to do with pathway suppression, but it seems the former is the case.] The system said.
‘Just like you said before if it is afraid why is it still attacking?’ Blake couldn’t help but ask.
[Beasts have emotions just like humans, so when going against something very strong they would waste no time backing out, especially when what they are fighting for isn’t worth it.]
[In a case where it is fighting for something worth it, for example, the owner or someone very close to it. The beasts would have a lot of confidence.] The system explained.
‘That explains a lot.’ Blake thought as the blazing hawk shot out a beam of fire at them.
Ebony replied with a fire beam of his own but even stronger, causing the hawk to add more power to avoid receiving damage.
BOOM!
A water beam hit the blazing hawk like a truck, but that was when Luciano appeared from nowhere and fired plasma boosted by the armor and both berserk modes.
Just as the plasma was a meter away from Ivory, the plasma moved over to Ebony and was absorbed into his body.
At the same time, Ivory released a burst of ice that put out the golden flames and froze the entire battleground.
Luciano had managed to distance himself on time while heating himself up. In anger, Ebony had turned into a blazing tornado as he chased after the blazing hawk that was back in the air.
This time, the blazing hawk had no plans of attack, instead it was running for its life, but Ebony and Ivory were adamant about punishing it for challenging them and its lack of respect.
