Chapter 140 - 139:Shocking the audience(again)

After laying down my challenge, I merely stood and waited.

I wasn’t worried I’d scared off the guy.

If there was one thing I knew about arrogant young masters after consuming multiple novels, it’s that their arrogance always blinds them.

They will always feel superior to anyone, it didn’t matter if the person you just wrecked was of the same level as them or even higher.

So I wasn’t worried, besides, even if this one did have some brain cells, Valen’s "you must fight when challenged" rule out, leaving me with some other made a me at ease, because if there was one thing the man had been up until now, it was a man of his word, so if he said you’re going to fight, then you were going to fight, so, I waited..

After a few boring minutes of waiting and listening to the disbelief of the entire audience, my theories finally held true as Caelum appeared on the arena fast enough to leave a weaker man wide eyed.

Looking at my opponent that was still putting up a haughty posture even now, I couldn’t help the words that came out my mouth.

"Since you appeared, I assume you’re ready to beaten to half an inch of your life".

His face scrunched up perfectly to my delight.

"Get ready, cause I won’t be merciful" I concluded..

He merely looked at me before cracking a vicious smile..

"You think I’m like that other guy don’t you?" His smile grew wider as he continued "you have no real idea just how terrifying a Draken can truly be do you?" I frowned.

"Well then, let me show you"...

[𝔨𝔫𝔢𝔰𝔩]

his voice sounded scrambled, like it wasn’t something meant for the mortal ears, yet the moment they registered in my ears, a heavy and unbearable weight settled over my entire body, causing my legs to buckle slightly, my body leaning forward...

"Hahahahahahaha... how’s that you filthy dog, you thought you were the only one with the power of words?" The more I struggled under the heavyweight, the heavier it seemed to get and the more delighted the blue haired fellow got...

"Enough of this...

Abyssal Authority"

the heavy weight vanished immediately, the laughter of my so called cousin swiftly dying out...

"WHAT DID YOU DO!!!!" He yelled at me in a frantic rage..

"Heh.. I just changed the playing field" I snickered...

"You’re going to pay for that.." once again, blue scales started sprouting from all over the young man’s body as his body swelled rapidly, his aura growing denser and heavier, four blue horns curling out of his hair in majestic swirls.

A pair of fleshy massive wings sprouted behind the young man as his transformation completed..

What stood before me now wasn’t anything "human" it was easier to call him a dragon kin or draconian, whichever fit best.

His scales ran up the length of his entire arms and lower body, leaving his chest and face bare, his eyes had turned into slits like those of a reptile, his hands had elongated into sharp deadly looking claws that looked ready to tear me apart, flesh from flesh and limb from limb.

The fours horns that sat gloriously on his head only added more to his regal appearance.

Honestly, If we were judgin by appearances alone then this guy looked like a proper warrior, but unfortunately..

"BASTARD!!!" A loud voice shouted from amongst the elite students.

I turned, catching sight of a red haired young man with horns and scales, he was currently gnashing his teeth as he studied Caelum with a murderous glare..

"Hahahahahaha... what? Finally, cat got your tongue after seeing my glorious form?" The fool laughed with all the pride and ego to be expected from a pampered young master.

But, I’d said I was going to put both of my sources of irritation down today so that’s what I was going to do..

The moron attacked, only to strike nothing but thin air, he fumbled forward as he swiveled around, aiming to strike with his claws, the attack missing woefully once more.

I couldn’t help raising an eyebrow, the young man’s fight felt raw, unpolished, amateurish..

"Damn... a fucking greenhouse flower, how the hell did this fool make it into the elite class?" The realization struck me like a gut punch..

This fool had probably never raised his Hand to kill anything remotely dangerous or been in a life or death situation before, that’s why he was fighting like someone on anesthetics.

I couldn’t help wondering how he’d made it into Aeternum, that too as an elite..

The answer didn’t take long to figure out, after all, If the instructors were the ones picking out elite class students, all the fool needed was a strong enough connection to Make an exception..

"Sigh.. seems this would be even easier than the earlier guy" I sighed as I casually sidestepped a rushed claw swipe that was powerful enough to level a castle..

"Bastard!! Stay still" the fool roared..

"If you insist" I finally stopped moving, the fool smile, believing he finally caught me..

He gathered energy in his throat as his aura built up, a freaky amount of energy Being gathered there, no doubt, this was an end level attack..

"Alright then, let me show the new toy I just got"I smirked evilly as I prepared to show off my newest Ability..

My body instantly burst into a column of blac-gold flames, my burning golden eyes peeking out from the flames as they shone with a brilliant dark gold..

"Wait a minute!!"

"Why does that look familiar??"

The shocked exclamations around me only made me smile wider, my excitement peeking when I imagine why they how they were going to react yo my next move...

"Edicts of the Solar Compendium"...

The entire audience froze and this time it wasn’t because of the skill being cast, or rather, it was because of the skill, but not it’s effect..

"It’s the same..."

"IT’S THE SAME FUCKING SKILL!!!!"

"Wrath of Helios"..

The world slowed, this time from the skill’s actuall effects..

I raised my head upwards, curious to see how much effect my Solar-immolation flames would have on the skill.

The sun turned a darker almost black color with streaks of gold running through it, it descended with raging intensity..

The moment the sun stattioned itself above output cna just go..

I didn’t hold it for long, my energy slowly dying out..

"sun spear"..

A burning lance tore through the air from the mouth of the giant sun tearing right through Caelum, sending him flying like his brother(Apollo) and going on to make light work of the newly fixed arena..

But I wasn’t one to leave my victories to chance so, I rushed after the flying target, black immolation flames already coating my fist.

The punch was as devastating as the last one, it folded Caelum into a full ball before launching him with such force he created multiple air cones as he burst through them, where he crashed into.....could’ve been anything honestly, I couldn’t even see where he landed so there’s that.

But one thing was for sure..

"And the winner...Dante Draven"

Was that Pride I hear in that voice?

’

Nah’

I shook my head dispelling the thought, he may have been quoted to be my godfather but I barely knew the man, so, it was definitely going to be a long term thing..

I finally shook all distracting thoughts away..

"Hooo... finally, I can rest easy"...

I was honestly starting to get used to sending a packed crowd into shock attacks...
