Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 908 - 858: Scheduled Fight

Ariel could offset Leonʼs mighty roar to some extent when she roared, but she knew it was only a temporary solution; if she did not end the fight in the next instant, she would lose.

To enjoy this fight to their heartʼs content, they both tactfully decided not to wear armor, not that she regretted the decision.

ʼʼLeon, letʼs end the fight in our next move. Letʼs not let the public wait for too.ʼʼ Suddenly, Ariel advised.

Leon was shocked not because of her proposition but because of how she referred him. Rarely had she called him by his name; every time she did this, it was either to say something important or to reprimand him. However, in this situation, it was because she was being serious, and Leon also agreed with what she said because dragging on this fight would not be good.

ʼʼOkay, letʼs do that.ʼʼ Leon nodded before releasing all his Mana, fueling Godʼs Flame; his intention was that he would use this new skill to defeat her.

Ariel nodded; she closed her eyes for a moment; the wind stirred around her, and lightning crackled before combined into a deadly combo.

ʼʼDoom!”

ʼʼGodʼs Flame!”

The two mumbled their skillʼs name before clashing.

Everyone was blinded and deafened by the flash of light and the explosion. The wind, stirring and blowing everything away. The heat was so intense that people were already sweating while their hair curled because of the electricity in the air.

The explosion was so intense that casualties seemed inevitable, but, thankfully, fail-safes, in the form of large glowing blue barriers, were created to protect the crowd in case of a dangerous situation activated at full power, thereby avoiding the worst situation, if not casualties would have been unavoidable.

Finally, as the light abated, only one question filled the mind of everyone still awake.

Who was the winner?

A gust of wind stirred the dust away, revealing the stats of the Arena.

Everything was blown away. Nothing was left. Only one word could describe this scene.

Apocalypse. It was destruction; not many times had this happened; it only happened when two behemoths fought in the coliseum.

Finally, the two fighters could be seen standing. Their bodies are slightly charred.

The result?

Everyone was curious about the result; even the referee could feel their burning desire to know the fightʼs result.

The referee, seeing this, immediately understood the situation and screamed,

”I-itʼs a draw!!!!”

However, as sound, he said those words, he heard Leonʼs hoarse voice, which frightened him.

ʼʼWho said that?”

ʼʼLightning Descent.ʼʼ

He mumbled with difficulty and used the static electricity in the air to summon one last lightning, which sent Arielʼs body flying, her mouth fell open, and she coughed blood before passing out.

ʼʼMy apologies, I talked too fast; the winner of this fight is the prince, his highness Leon Lionheart !”

There was a moment of silence before cheers erupted like a volcano.

Uoooooooooooooooh!

ʼʼHail the future emperor!”

Leon was too tired to celebrate his victory; just as he was about to fall to the ground, a shadow appeared and caught him. His black hair and beautiful face greeted the crowd; immediately, another commotion erupted.

ʼʼItʼs the Eighth.ʼʼ

ʼʼAlex! Alex! Alex!!!!!”

Alex never expected to be so popular that he would be easily recognized.

His lips curled up in the form of a smile, and when his woman saw this smile, they knew he was about to do something crazy, but they didnʼt try to stop him as they were thrilled too, even without knowing what he was planning.

ʼʼDo you wish for an Encore?”

Suddenly, Alex asked the crowd. Silence descended upon the coliseum and the emperor who came to watch the fight with some of the elders chuckled.

ʼʼI knew this young man was interesting. I wonder what he is planning.ʼʼ Leo said, holding his chin with one arm.

Nobody answered as they were all curious about what Alex would propose.

ʼʼEncore!ʼʼ

ʼʼEncore!”

Suddenly, the crowd erupted into another frenzy, asking for an Encore. They understood that Alex was talking about another exciting fight like this one, and this made their blood boil. They almost asked for an Encore on the spot, but in the end, they managed to reign in their desire.

Alex, who got the crowdʼs attention, raised his hand, and immediately the coliseum turned silent on his command; he didnʼt even need to say anything for them to turn silent on their own.

ʼʼGood, in a few days they will be a competition between you people and my group. I want to fight your prince or his fiancee, but at the moment, they are too weak.ʼʼ

As expected, the crowdʼs mood changed when he said that Leon and Ariel were weak. Those two were their pride, so hearing an outsider say they were weak, there was no way they would take it with a smile.

Just as they were about to erupt, Alex released his full strength, which was scarier than Leon or Ariel.

Fear!

Ultimate fear. They knew they would die if they were to fight Alex right now. The pressure coming from him was not a joke.

Looking briefly towards the crowd, Maria was even more stunned by how many of them were already kneeling in their places. Some of them, unable to support the pressure, fainted. Even people in the VIP room werenʼt spared, some of them showing a pitiful display that would have shamed their families if the others had seen them.

The pressure coming from Alex was too powerful; only their lounge, the one used by the emperor and the elders, was spared.

Looking at the frightening crowd, Alex smiled.

ʼʼGood, it seems that you understand. Then, let me continue. I was talking about competition, and it would be unfair if we were to begin right now hence my wish to postpone this fight. I will give you two weeks. Itʼs up to you how you will raise your level in those two weeks. I will be waiting for the Encore.ʼʼ Alex declared before leaving with Leon in his arms.

Even if he didnʼt say anything, the way he spoke and looked down on them made them angry; they wished for Leon and Ariel to quickly wake up to train faster, to increase their level to teach Alex a lesson, to let him know that the Lionheart Empire was not a weakling.

ʼʼHahaha! Itʼs why I like him. I would have loved to participate in this fight.ʼʼ Leo said, but the elders immediately shot his idea down.

ʼʼYour majesty, you canʼt. Let the young ones play.ʼʼ

ʼʼAre you calling me old?” Leo asked, a bit, furious, but there was no way that elder would answer him as he did not wish to become the emperorʼs punching bag.

ʼʼLetʼs go!” Having received no answer, the emperor clicked his tongue and retreated.

•••••

”Beautiful fight.”

Arielʼs father, who came to watch the fight murmured in happiness. She knew that her daughter was receiving intense training under their ancestorʼs care. But, seeing the result completely left him shivering in happiness.

”A fight? Heh~! I wouldnʼt call it a fight. It was more like a display of power and some of their abilities. From the start, the two of them held back and didnʼt want to show too much of their hands.” His wife said.

”Indeed.”

Zodd, Arielʼs father, acquiesced. His daughter didnʼt use her Berserker mode, an exclusive skill to their family.

ʼʼWhat do you think about that boyʼs words?ʼʼ Suddenly, his wife asked.

Zodd stayed silent before answering.

ʼʼHe is sure interesting. Iʼm not sure to win if I fight him. The boy is too mysterious, and extremely powerful; no wonder the emperor thinks so highly of him. Letʼs just wait and see.ʼʼ

For the Thousand menʼ general to say that, his wife went silent, already thinking about many things. Seeing his wife like that, the general knew she must be plotting something, but he didnʼt say anything and let her do what she wanted.

°°°°°

Back in their lounge, Alex could feel everyoneʼs eyes on him. Chuckling, he said.

ʼʼIf you have something to say, just say it.ʼʼ

ʼʼWhen are we starting?” As usual, Saeko showed her support; she was more eager to show the Lionheart Empire that there was no weakling on Alexʼs side.

ʼʼDonʼt worry, soon you will fight to your heartʼs content,ʼʼ Alex responded.

ʼʼTwo weeks? Huh! We should be able to increase our level.ʼʼ Maria mumbled, already thinking which dungeon they should visit to increase their strength. While she didnʼt doubt that she would win if she were to fight against the current Ariel, she knew it would be an easy victory.

Now that the die was cast, she would do anything in her power not to embarrass her man.

ʼʼWe will start tomorrow.ʼʼ Maria declared to the other girls that she was not concerned about Alex as he was the most powerful right now; he must have his plan. What Maria was concerned about was only their group.

ʼʼLetʼs go.ʼʼ Alex declared before leaving, and the girls followed him. Leandra was not with them as she had already left to check on her brother.
