Chapter 435: Serhan’s rotten luck.


    Although Serhan’s n 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 ke 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 mes and the water element, meaning the only thing I am superior in is speed.’ Serhan wasn’t confident that it was enough.


    Golden mes were not only more than 3 times hotter than normal mes, but a golden me 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 mes.


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


    “What the fuck?!” Serhan alongside the audience and otherpetitors were stunned by the appearance of a zing hawk.


    .....


    The zing hawk stood at a height of 6 meters. It had ck contour feathers (the colorful feathers seen on the outside) that were sharp and strong as steel. Inbat 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?” ke 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 ke 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 exined.


    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?’ ke asked.


    [No, I am saying that a beast tamer had ced his beast into the ring and hadmanded the beast to obey him.] The system exined.


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


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


    ...


    The appearance of the zing hawk had shattered all of Serhan’s ns, but the worst part was that he didn’t have time to change his ns 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, arge beam of mes 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 mes mmed 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 zing hawk gliding toward him.


    ‘Fuck!’


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


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


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


    It was clear to the viewers that the zing 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 ke and Luciano already had ways to counter it.


    “It’s not as if I was nning on winning in the first ce. I will just leave it to ke and Luciano to handle.” Castiel thought as he began walking up to the tform 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 arge frosty path in the air.
