Chapter 114 - 113: The 10 Kings!

Chapter 114: Chapter 113: The 10 Kings!

A group of teenagers had just been walking around the Business district, when suddenly many people both male and female, could be seen running in one direction.

It was the direction of the Arena!

Several of the running people bumped into the group of youngsters, but they did not bother staying to apologize and quickly ran off. This left the group of teenagers bewildered.

"Hmm, What’s going on? Why are so many people going to the Arena all of a sudden?" one of them frowned and asked.

A guy who had been running by heard the question and sneered. He then said "Have you been living under a rock or something?"

"Ignore them, let’s go!" his friend shook his head and dashed ahead disappearing into the crowd.

The group of four were stunned when they saw this scene. ’Why was everyone so lively?’

The guy who had spoken earlier snorted and was about to chase after his companion when he was suddenly stopped by one of them who grabbed hold of his arm.

Excuse me, what’s going on. Can you explain why everybody is running? Where is everyone going?"

The young man frowned after being stopped. "Let go of me! Haven’t you heard? One of the 10 Kings appeared in the Arena." he said.

"What!" they were surprised by this piece of news.

The 10 Kings were actually 10 students from the Elite class of the Mage academies. They were called the 10 Kings because in the whole empire they were considered to be the most powerful 3 star mages. And they could not be beaten by anyone else in the same realm.

Thus, they were given the title of ’THE10 KINGS!’

This group of four teenagers were mages from a Mage Academy, so naturally they knew who the 10 Kings were.

One of the four at the back shook his head. "That’s impossible, there’s no way one of the 10 Kings would be in the preliminaries."

The young man that had been stopped sneered. "Humph, what do a couple of chumps like you know? Let me tell you, word on the streets these days is, everyone of the 10 Kings will be participating in the Preliminaries this year. Now get out of my way, I need to go get a seat." he was displeased when he heard these ignorant kids contradicting him.

"That’s absurd!"one of the four shook his head but they still moved aside to let the guy pass.

However one person still asked, "There’s really a fight against one of the 10 Kings, who?" they were shocked and one of them quickly asked.

The young man had already started sprinting off and shouted back at them.

"Charles Prince!"

The four stopped and repeated the name. "Charles Prince."

The name settled in their minds. Suddenly they felt agitated. If one of the 10 Kings really was fighting today, then they really didn’t want to miss it.

One of them said. "Let’s go! A fight of one of the 10 Kings is definitely going to be epic. We need to go get some seats before they run out."

The rest all nodded and rushed to the Arena.

If Drake were here he would have recognized that one of these four was his old bully from the Black family.

Leo Black!

...

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

Drake’s Dagger moved with terrifying speed, as he deflected all of the flying glass that formed into blades.

The Dagger danced around, parrying and deflecting all the blades that descended with terrifying precision. However, there was just too many of them. So Drake called out softly.

’Eyes of Order!’

’Cosmic Armor!’

BOOM!

Drake jumped out of the encirclement of Blades and stared solemnly at Charles who now had over a dozen blades rotating and revolving around him. Their edges glinted with a cold light, telling one just how sharp they were.

In Drake’s vision a set of information about Charles instantly appeared.

Name: Baker

Age: 17

Cultivation level: 3 Star Mage

Battle Power: 210,100

Affinity: Tele...

There was no time to completely look through the information as the flying blades had arrived once again. Drake ran around non-stop trying to avoid them.

This battle was by far the most difficult he has been in after signing up for the Grand Mage Tournament.

Another thing Drake noticed was that the flying blades reflected light, making them look illusory. This made it so that if you weren’t careful, the blades could virtually disappear from sight during the fight. You would die without knowing what hit you, if you did not pay attention to these almost invisible weapons.

As Drake looked at Charles, he got a kind of mysterious feeling. He couldn’t quite describe it though. It was very elusive, so he could not put a finger on it.

"I am very much surprised that you got out of that, I’m Impressive indeed! It looks like I need to put in a bit more effort to get rid of you." Charles said unhurriedly, then raised and waved his left hand that was still gripping the pole of the umbrella.

The Floating blades immediately charged at Drake after that command gesture.

Drake closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

’He has Telekinesis! Telekinetic Mages focus mainly on controlling external objects by using their minds, that means his weakness should be close combat. It will be over once I get close enough.’ thought Drake.

He slowly lowered himself slightly, then reversed his grip on the Dagger in his hand. Now he was like a beast ready to pounce.

There was only a distance of 100 meters between Drake and Charles and it took merely a moment for the flying blades to close the distance.

When the first blade arrived Drake instantly vanished.

Teleport!

Drake appeared behind the flying blade and continued charging forward.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A second Drake would be running, the next he would deflect a flying blade with his dagger. He would jump over to dodge, slide under to evade or teleport to escape encirclements.

There were only 10 meters left between them when Drake had just avoided a flying blade, and magic power flowed into his Dagger. The next second he thew it forward with all his might.

The Dagger was like a bullet cutting through the air as it pierced towards Charles’s chest. Charles’s expression did not change, with a mere thought he summoned the blades back.

The flying blades arrived before him in no time at all, and arranged themselves forming a shield in front of Charles.

DING!

A metallic ringing resounded when the tip of the Dagger collided with the shield, but the Dagger was unable to advance an inch. It had been completely stopped in its tracks.

However, the next instant Drake appeared behind it and kicked the Daggers hilt.

BANG!

The Shield was pushed back and dense cracks covered it, but the Dagger was still unable to continue its advance. However, Drake was still unwilling to give up. He held the Daggers hilt with both hands and twisted.

CRACK!

The Shield shattered and the flying blades were sent flying. Drake was right in front of Charles with his Dagger piercing forward. However, it only took a second thought for the blades to rearrange themselves in front of Charles once again.

This time a few blades shot at Drake from the sides . If he tried to break through the shield the same way he had done the first time, the blades would slash him apart.

Drake’s lips parted behind his mask as he called out softly.

’Infinity!’

Suddenly, Drake’s figure flashed and he appeared right behind Charles with his Dagger pressed against the young man’s throat. He had been so fast, that there had been no room for Charles to even react.

Paragons voice sounded from right next to Charles’s ear. "Even if you have all three ’T’s’, you would still lose!"

The spectators fell silent as they watched.

Phillip was also watching this fight while seated beside Jeremy, he finally broke the silence and asked. "Paragon won! How is this possible? Does this mean Paragon is at the level of the 10 Kings?"

However after he asked this question an expert not too far away from him shook his head and said softly. "If you think this is all it takes to be one of the 10 Kings then you are underestimating the title of the 10 kings. This should just be considered a warm up."

"Huh, you mean..." Phillip started but Jeremy shook his head.

He said, "Do you know what Charles’s title is among the 10 Kings? This is far from over, just watch."

"Amazing!" Charles slowly grinned. The next second however, his body slowly turned ethereal until it completely vanished. His figure slowly materialized ten meters away from Drake the next second.

Drake was utterly flabbergasted when he witnessed this scene. He had not noticed any movement. ’he thought, ’Is that Telepotation?’

"You surprise me! You really do have some ability. Truly I am impressed." Charles praised while nodding in approval. "However, while you do have a lot of potential you are still unable to defeat me as you currently are. But don’t worry, like I already said initially, I will not bully you."

"You seem to be forgetting that I just won our little scuffle." Paragon’s word resounded through his mask.

Drake thought, ’What a poser! Are you kidding me right now? You clearly lost but you’re acting all cool like you won!’

Charles’s eyes narrowed slightly as he uttered softly. "You really think you have defeated me don’t you? Let me show you something!"

Charles suddenly tapped his right foot on the ground causing the water where he was standing to ripple. The entire wold around Drake suddenly shook and all the glass on the giant buildings that surround them shattered.

Drake frowned and hastily protected his head. The glass fell like countless sharp swords, however, the next second the shards of glass that were descending turned into water that splashed on everything.

The water formed a large wave which hit him causing Drake to be smashed through several buildings destroying everything in its wake. It was like a powerful tsunami had been formed from all the water and then flooded the city.
