"Your Highness, shouldn't we move to attack the other teams?"
The members of the Golden team were around the tower enjoying a relaxing time, though some of them were focusing on the next battles.
In the last hour, they had collected fifteen orbs, and then they had stopped when the Duke ordered. It seemed that the number was enough to pass the next stage, and, of course, the other teams won't dare to attack them in the least.
Not once, they had seen another team member near the perimeters of their tower. They even seemed to be avoiding it for fear of enraging the mighty Dragon guarding the tower at the top.
Only a few of the fighters that were lucky enough to stay in the same group as the Duke were now only taking preventive precautions but nothing more. Only a bit more from an hour was left and they hadn't done a lot. Some were even eager to go out to join the fight and warm their muscles before the next stage.
However, a handsome Duke was sitting
"Devon, search for the orbs on the top," Emma was directing the rest of the group to look inside the perimeter of the Silver tower. The silver team never thought they would be attacked so soon so they were caught unprepared.They must have guessed that the other teams were attacking the red tower. So they decided to protect their own, or not?"There are only nine on the tower and the surroundings, where are the others?""Betraying their alliance."Emma didn't need to explain as it was quite obvious that they had used the opportunity to land an attack on the blue or black tower. She wanted to know from when they had the time to form an alliance. Maybe some of them knew each other before they choose their teams. That was most likely, but she also knew then, that they betrayed each other."Let's move faster, before the others notice," Emma already had brought down three fighters with her magic space spheres. They were useful to set traps around and ma
"Quickly, they are near!"Emma and the others kept running to their tower but the blue and black teams were approaching. They were coming at an incredibly fast speed, even though they left them a few seconds ahead."How do they do it?""They have fairies with them, they are enhancing their legs. Sorry, I can only help a bit though," Devon said with a difficult expression, "Allen would have done it better. Dammit!""Someone, get back and fight those idiots!"The ones to step out were Regulus and Segen, as they were the most powerful. They were the first ones to respond also, along with another three."Wait!" Emma's tired voice stopped everyone. "There is a trap in the front.""What?""I left one of my spheres there and someone activated it," she was out of air, "maybe someone from the blue or black team.""Then, what should we do? There is no time!""I have a plan… follow me!"However, before she coul
The first ones to enter the platform were the members of the golden team. Fifteen powerful fighters. However, before they started the attack, the Duke and Ilian stood on one side of the platform to seat peacefully on a chair, not minding the fight at all. The Duke's knights had made sure to make him sit comfortably during the battle. Emma could only laugh at his laziness as he was sending her gazes from time to time.On the other hand, the fighters were ready to take the other three spots on the final stage. It was their only opportunity and for what they had prepared for the last few hours. They were the first to chose their team as they were top rankers."Hey, Kal, I will take that place this year!""No, you won't!""Yes, I will!""Then… try it if you can."The starting bell had not rung, but the thirteen contestants were already forming groups and little alliances to take control of the platform. Only the best group of three will w
The fight was a cruel display of a little girl playing with big magic tigers and some little knights trying to run from her. That was an awful almost pathetic play, however an extraordinary show, who would have thought that she was that strong? She even was shameless, she only left out the handsome guy that was showing his abs to her. Those beautiful abs were his card to the next round.When the battle finished up, Madame Lu couldn't contain her laughter to announce the end of the Golden team fight. So one of her girls had to send the signal to ring the bell. The cheers didn't make them wait. However, from beginning to end, the Duke didn't even raise a finger.Now it was time for the Red Team to step into the platform and fight. However, something unexpected happened. Not two seconds from the rang of the bell, the four dragon ladies that tried to harm Emma previously attacked her without restraint. However, the next five seconds were as pathetic as their whole time in
That day finished with a round of victory for Emma and the others, though, Allen just stood there without much to do. Emma never thought she would be able to pass the next stage of the tournament, not even in her wildest dreams. However, now she can be considered as one of the top twenty best fighters in the whole Avalor. It was truly an honor, though, it will only be true when she confronted another top twenty on a one-on-one fight."Can… can you stop… it?"Emma was directed to her room from before after the fight, Ina had helped her get there after saying goodbye to the others. However, a shameless Duke didn't hesitate to enter her room this time without waiting any longer. He won't let her stay alone anymore, not when she was attacked at that time and barely came out unharmed. That little Prince dared to harm her on his watch, that would never go unpunished."Ah… stop it!""No," his body was so heated that he couldn't stop pushing
The next morning, Emma almost started a war with her dear husband. He didn't contain himself no a single time last night. Not only he was eager to make a baby with her, but he wanted to make her remember her promise. To go to him whenever he called, and she couldn't say no to him. However, the next morning when she was a bit more conscious of everything, he dared to escape after doing one last morning deed. Only a soft kiss on her forehead was his way of asking for forgiveness.When she came out of the room, Ina was already waiting for her with a warm drink in her hands. She said it was a gift for the Duke and that it would help her recover from the training."Tha… thank you, Ina," Emma didn't know if the loyal knight had stayed at the door the whole night, but she must know why the Duke had left her room all happy, right?The warm liquid was a strange potion. Emma hadn't heard about it before, but it was helping her body stop feeling pain. Even though th
A few hundred miles from Avalor, the knights led by Neo were in shock at the horrible sight in front of them.They never thought that such malevolence could be possible, to kill mercilessly innocent and defenseless people was going too far. These people were under the care of the alliance, under the protection of the Duke's knights and the Kingdom. However, they were slaughtered in the worst possible way only for a few drops of blood."Your Highness, this…"Neo didn't know what to say, he was speechless from the moment he found the corpses hanging, it was a sorrowful sight. The young dragons guarding the little town were found in a crazy state. Their minds had already left the real world, and they were just empty vessels. Only the power of an elder could guide them through the right path now, but that will take many years."Bury them with the highest honors, notify the alliance and start a search in secret, don't let anyone know who was the culprit
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
