Chapter 439: Wishe true.


    With the end of Luciano’s match, the first round of the final event was concluded.


    The remaining contestants were given high-quality mana regenerating potions and a 1-hour break to prepare for the next round.


    “I would have loved to use this time to fill my stomach with something delicious, but I am afraid that it would make me feel heavy for the next fight.” ke let out a helpless sigh.


    [The only thing you think about is food?] The system scoffed.


    ‘There is nothing else to think about, I am done nning countermeasures for everyone.’ ke said to the system but he suddenly turned to see Lucas walk up to him.


    “Don’t you think you look too happy for someone that is about to lose?” Lucas said with a smirk on his face.


    “Lose to who, you?” ke burst out inughter, annoying Lucas and making him wonder what was giving him so much confidence.


    .....


    ‘Didn’t he watch my match against Serhan? Even if he didn’t, he should have heard about the zing falcon from his friends.’ Lucas thought.


    “I just hope we meet in the next round so that I can put you in your ce.” Lucas said with a disgusted look on his face.


    “Above you right? Because if I remember correctly I have won you in basically everything so far.” ke said with a smirk that left Lucas tongue-tied. He had never had someone talk to him like this, and it wasn’t as if ke was wrong either.


    With nothing else to say, Lucas stormed off causing ke to chuckle.


    ‘It feels good getting into people’s heads.’ ke thought with a smirk stered on his face.


    ...


    After the 1 hour break time was over, the draw for the next round began.


    The first face that appeared on the screens of the viewers was Lucas, and just a few secondster ke also appeared.


    ‘After our battle is over he would regret that his wish came through.’ ke said to Ebony and Ivory causing them to roar in happiness in his mind.


    As for the second match it was between Castiel and Luciano, and everyone knew what the oue would be.


    With the draws over, ke and Lucas made their way to the tform that carried them to the center of the battlefield


    “Begin!” Without wasting time, the host announced the start of the 1st match of the 2nd round.


    ‘I would have loved to make him pay by showing him that he is nothing but a peasant, but I have to save my mana for the battle against Luciano.’ Lucas thought.


    The royal family had a rule that none of their trained beasts or artifacts was allowed to be used against other members of the royal family, especially inpetitions. Meaning he wouldn’t be able to use the zing falcon against Luciano.


    On raising his right hand, the ring on his middle finger lit up and the king rank zing hawk flew out.


    Kee-eeeee-arr!


    The hawk screamed as it flew high in the air and spread its massive wings.


    “Nice bird you’ve got there.” ke said as he threw Ebony and Ivory into the air.


    ‘Is he surrendering?’ Lucas as well as the rest of the crowd were confused by ke’s action.


    The greatsword split into two and just as they were about to touch the ground, a fire and ice explosion broke out from the swords.


    ROAR!


    Booming roars that sent chills down the spine of even demigods were heard all around the arena.


    When the smoke and frost cleared the crowd saw two 5-meter tall king rank beasts. One had pitch ck fur with glowing red tattoos all around its body, while the other had snow white fur with glowing blue tattoos.


    Ebony had a savage look as it continuously grunted at the zing hawk, while Ivory was calm but emitted a bone-chilling aura.


    “The reports never said anything about him having 2 King rank beasts!” Nobles and even counselors were confused by the scene that just took ce.


    “Sir he had always had the sword since his 1st year, but the beasts had never been spotted.”


    They were all wondering how he got his hands on the sword in the first ce, and were tempted to ask for another background check but that was when they all turned to Bryon’s booth.


    ke receiving the sword from Bryon was the only exnation, but it now made them feel that their descendants were underprepared even though they had been given different powerful artifacts.


    ...


    ‘I can’t lose just like that.’ Lucas thought as his confusion turned to anger.


    ‘I should still be able to take him down!’ Lucas thought with a newfound resolve as he summoned a purple armor.


    Lucas’ parents knew that the chances of winning the regionalpetition were very slim. So they were banking on him winning thest event. That was why they had given him 2 powerful artifacts.


    The 2 artifact was the purple armor with the ability to quadruple the power of all of the user’s elements.


    “Attack!” Lucas ordered the zing hawk as he began casting both fire and water spells.


    Kee-eeeee-arr!


    The zing hawk dived at both Ebony and Ivory, but a roar from Ebony immediately caused it to change direction.


    “What the fuck?!” Lucas, as well as ke and everyone in the arena, were confused by what just happened.


    ‘What just happened?’ ke couldn’t help but ask.


    [Not sure but it is either afraid of Ebony or it has something to do with pathway suppression.] The system said.


    ‘I thought pathway suppression had to affect only those lower in realm?’ ke asked.


    [Yes, but I can’t see any other exnation because if it was afraid it would have attacked in the first ce.] The system exined.
