Martial Arts Worlds
Chapter 504 - 504: Arcanielago Family

The audience's eyes bulged, and whispers of surprise and awe filled the stands like a rumbling storm.

"Kiernan is out!"

"Then… was the first event really a fluke? He wasn't even in the top hundred in the second event!"

"Yes, that child of Abracadabra completely destroyed Kiernan's aura image!"

"Should we guessed. The tier four country trash was just lucky, that's all!"

…

Nightingale, Abracadabra Castle.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Karl-Michael clapped his hands and smiled contentedly at the performance of his grandson.

Nevaeh sighed at the sight of her son defeating the son of her beloved sister and felt a slight grudge that his father made the two into enemies.

Without the whole Game scandal, they wouldn't have become rivals in the first place, and it was clear that Zeus targeted Kiernan.

"Injured…"

Bella mumbled under her breath and rubbed her eyes—she used her ability for a second—for just a split second.

It was enough to keep the "Watcher" of her ability from seeing her use it.

She used it to see what was going on with Kiernan, as when the broadcast showed him, it was clear that he was holding a pain in.

It was something that only a mother could see.

And with her eye, she was able to see that Kiernan's leg was broken from the knee down—it was already impressive that he could hold the horse stance for that long.

He was never going to last long with that leg.

…

Dusk Town, Yokai Dojo.

"Ah…"

Aoi watched in the broadcast as Kiernan left the arena with his head hanging low, and he wasn't hiding his broken leg anymore.

It was clear that he was limping!

"He was injured."

Master Arakawa said with his legs crossed and fingers laced.

"I thought fighting between representatives outside the events was forbidden. Someone must've attacked him!"

Aoi said.

"Well, we can't tell what happened. He could've fallen off the stairs and broken his leg that way."

Master Arakawa.

The rest of the students of the dojo looked at the television and lost most of their interest after Kiernan already got disqualified from the event.

However, the number of representatives had already dropped below a hundred, and the flooding stopped, replaced by another weather change.

…

Kiernan, with his head hanging low and a limp in his step, left the arena and entered his locker room.

He plopped down on the bench, his broken leg dangling off the edge, and an exhausted look on his face.

The phone inside his locker was going crazy, but he was too tired to care about it and just watched the rest of the event through the television.

It lasted another ten minutes—and that was a lot of points given for the people that lasted all the way to the end.

There was just so much to catch up on now.

"And the winner of the second is Zeus Abracadabra!"

Through the television, the commentator's voice resounded across the room, and Kiernan looked at Zeus, who was celebrating with a smile on his face.

Kiernan's gaze narrowed, and his hand turned into a fist.

In the closing stages of the second event, Sun started attacking Seo Donghae as he wanted to take the lead in the championship.

Thus, while they were battling each other, Zeus just waited for them to exhaust themselves and then got rid of them.

The broadcast disappeared from the television screen, and the white-faced doll with a stitched-up smile appeared.

"The second event is over, and congratulations, representative. I hope the event went well for you!

"The updated rankings are now like this!"

'The rankings sure have changed drastically. A few names are there, and since the second event ended right after Zeus defeated Sun and Seo, he got some bonus points for winning.

'Otherwise he wouldn't have caught up to them at all.'

Kiernan thought, and at the bottom of the screen, his current rank also showed, and it wasn't looking good.

[44. Kiernan Hunter - New Rakuya - 789 Points]

It was a big fall from being third ranked to now being ranked 44th.

"Shit… It won't be easy to catch up now."

Kiernan sighed.

…

"Wohoo!"

Amidst cheers of the crowd, Zeus entered his locker room, pumping his fist in victory, and looked over to the television screen to see the current rankings.

He smirked after seeing that Kiernan was nowhere to be seen in the top ten rankings, and he was now the third ranked.

The top two ranks weren't as far anymore as before.

"How far did the loser drop?"

Zeus touched the television—it was a touchscreen—so he could just scroll down on the rankings and found the name he was looking for in 44th rank.

"Hmph, 44th. Still too high for a piece of trash like him."

At that moment, he scrolled back up, and after seeing the two people in 6th, and 7th, he couldn't help but frown.

'The brothers of Arcanielago—the ruling family of Daylight and Doomlight—and since those two are considered martial arts countries, they were allowed to send two representatives.

'The twins.

'A rival family of Abracadabra.'

Zeus frowned deeply.

…

A mighty battleship crashed through the mighty waves of the World Seas, and navy soldiers were hard at work, pulling the ropes to unfurl and hoisting the sails.

"Hoist the sails! The storm is heading our way!"

A navy vice admiral shouted, and at that moment, a bolt of lightning struck the main mast, causing chaos and panic among the crew.

It caused the mast to catch fire!

"Tch!"

The vice admiral clicked his tongue and was about to quench the flames, but then a mighty wave crashed against the ship, extinguishing the fire before he could.

"?!"

The vice admiral turned around, looked to the balcony that was overseeing the deck, and a man with a navy coat was standing there—a cold look on his face.

"Admiral Arcanielago!"

The men greeted him with.

'That wave that quenched the fires was the admiral's power. He has a rare power of the sea that makes him the mightiest existence in the World Sea!'

The vice admiral thought highly.

While he was Martial Legend himself, a mighty power that put the fear of God into his enemies, he still was nothing in front of Admiral Arcanielago.

Admiral Arcanielago was, after all, Martial Emperor!

"Hmm…"

Admiral Arcanielago grabbed the balcony's railings and calmed down the storm that raged around them.

The seas turned calm and peaceful.
