"T-Teruis?" Lady Isolde was dumbfounded at the oue of the fight, and not just because of the oue only, but the way the entire battle unfolded. Terius didn''tnd a single hit on Elias throughout the duration of the battle.
"Seems the battle didn''t go as you expected Lady Isolde," Lord Thane said inly, "It appears we underestimated him greatly. Three expert-level fighters in a row, and he''s still standing, he doesn''t even look like he''s starting to get tired" He added, his tone filled with anger and frustration
Lady Isolde turned to Lady Selene, "You! You knew this was going to happen. What is it you know? Tell us!" Lady Isolde demanded
Lady Selene let out a calm breath, "Very well, if you must know, none of you will ever be able to get Elias Ashdown under your control.
No matter how you try or what you do, it will yield the same result," She exined
"Which is?" King ric asked, wearing an attentive expression
"Failure," Lady Selene replied
"Nonsense!" Lord Thane objected.
Lady Isolde furrowed her brows,"And why is that?" She asked
"Because…"
Elias stood triumphant over Terius ck''s body, the man before him groaning and moaning in pain.
A group of soldiers walked in with a stretcher, one of the soldiers gently supported Terius''s neck and shoulders, while the other carefully lifted his legs.
Terius winced as they moved him, the pain evident in his tight-lipped grimace, but he didn''t resist their efforts.As they lifted him onto the stretcher, Terius let out a low groan, the difort and pain clear in every movement.
As the soldiers were about to depart, Elias stopped them, "Wait!" He ordered, he walked over to Terius and ced a hand over him
"Heal"
A warm sensation washed over Terius as his cuts began to close, his bruises disappeared and his broken bones popped back into ce. Terius stood up from the stretcher and inspected himself in disbelief.
"I..am healed?" He muttered
"Aren''t you going to thank me?" Elias raised a brow
[+2 000 FWP ]
"Th...Thank you, Elias Ashdown," He said bowing his head slightly, "This battle is my loss," he added
"Of course it is," Elias deadpanned, "Please leave, I have two more people to fight,"
Terius ck stared at Elias, smiled lightly, and bowed before leaving.
"The winner of the third round is yet again, Elias Ashdown the chosen child of light!" n announced
The crowd erupted in a roar of chants and praise for Elias, his name rang loud throughout the arena.
"Chosen one!" They chanted, and their chantssted for a while before dying down naturally
"What''s taking so long, bring on the next fighter, and let us be done with this!" He roared
"What?! That''s impossible," Lord Thane eximed
"I have told you lies, everything I have said is the truth," Lady Selene said firmly, "I understand your reactions, I too reacted that way when I found out," she added
Lady Isolde had a confused expression on her face as she tried to process the information Lady Selene had just disclosed to her, "But how is that possible? It shouldn''t be possible," She queried in disbelief
King ric stood up from his seat and headed for the exit, "Your Highness, where are you going? It''s your fighter''s turn to face Elias Ashdown," Lady Selene said
The king turned to her, "If what you''re saying is true, then there is no point in continuing this challenge when we already know how it will end," He said
After a while, n walked into the arena, "The King has dered this challenge over, and thus your champion is Elias Ashdown, the chosen child!" n announced, causing the whole arena to once again re up in chants and praises.
Meanwhile, Elias had an annoyed expression, "What do you mean the challenge is over? I have fought only three of the agreed five mages, where are the rest?" He asked n
"The king says to let you know that he and Lady Selene choose to forfeit the challenge. He also says you will get the agreed rewards as you have won the challenge," n exined to Elias
"Why?" Elias asked
"I have no idea," n said as he began to walk off
Elias face squeezed in annoyance, "King ric!!" He screamed
King ric, the family heads, and the entire Arena froze and fell silent as they heard Elias,
"The main reason I proposed this challenge wasn''t for the academy issue or the schrship. No, it was for something far more important than that.
I needed to show you and your family heads that before I became the child of light, I was Elias Ashdown and I still am Elias Ashdown.
I am my own man, and I will not be anyone''s property or tool!
I am strong, very strong and I will only be stronger. I do not intend to hide my strength!" He roared at the King and family head''s canopy
"The bastard, who does he think he is? Just give me the word your majesty, and I will descend upon him in your name!" Lord Thane eximed, his voice filled with spite, but King ric simply raised his hand up to shun him
"Fuck you, King ric!" He said, raising his middle finger at the king
[+500 000 FWP]
King ric''s brow furrowed, "I do not know what that means, but I am deeply offended by it," He said
"Elias Ashdown, he might be a bigger threat than we anticipated," The king muttered to himself
The challenge hade and it had passed, but standing inevitably victorious at the end of it all was the chosen child of light; Elias Ashdown
