All the Drios and their children returned back to the Hall after an hour, The Children of the Drios were given a space to sit down comfortably, Emperor Karsas created a barrier which blocked any force from escaping the ring.

The Ring is a large squared kind of box which is capable of standing the Drios attack, Emperor Karsas smiled as he relaxed his back on the Golden Throne, The Drios stared at the Ring before returning to their position.

" Greetings Drios of the Seven Ultimate Clans, It's time to start the tournament of the Drios, This is a decision made by his royal Highness the Emperor in other to have fun, Every Drio will participate in this tournament and there shall be only one winner " The judge announced and everyone nodded.

" What are the rules? " Jade excitedly asked from the spectators arena.

" Yes what are the rules, Is it a death match? " Slade Senju asked, The Judge stared at James before staring at his son Jade, It is his first time to see The Son of James the Destroyer!

" Yes son of Drio James, I beseech thee the rules of the Tournament, The winner is determined by his opponent surrendering before him and Knockout of the opponent " The Judge said and the Drios nodded in agreement.

" That's fine by me Judge, Now let's get on with it " Emperor Karsas stated and the Judge nodded, He ringed a bell and the names of the contestants appeared on a dashboard, the dashboard stated glowing until it stopped at Opra Vs  Nakraki.

Everyone faced The Opra Clan Drio Obeton and The Nakraki Clan Drio Fugai, Both Drios stood up on their feets and made their way into the Ring covered with Cosmic Energy to distrupt the attacks from attacking the ones outside the ring.

" Now, We have Drio Obeton and Drio Fugai entering into the Ring with their weapons, How's this going to end? " The Judge asked.

" Are you ready Drios? " The Judge asked and the Drios nodded, 

" As you two are ready, I say you Shall Begin the Tournament now!!! " The Judge said, Everyone cheered as the Drios unsheathed their swords with smiles on their faces, James stared at the Drios before closing his eyes.

" I won't be showing you any mercy Obeton, I am far superior than you " Drio Fugai veered, He twisted his sword skillfully on his hand and he positioned it for battle.

" Let's watch and see how I will defeat you " Drio Obeton said, He positioned his sword as well and the two Drios charged at eachother with full force, Evading eachothers sword attack..Both Drios kicked themselves to the ground.

Drio Fugai swiftly did a stunning kickup and he unleashed a plasma attack against Obeton but Obeton evaded it immediately, He teleported to the back of Fugai and landed a fatal knee strike to the skull of Fugai.

Drio Fugai crashed down due to the heavy impact he witnessed, He gnashed his teeths while trying to hide the pain he is feeling, Obeton appeared behind Fugai to deliver another knee strike when Fugai caught Obeton's leg and swinged it away.

Obeton crashed down heavily, His body collided with the barrier which caused him intense pain at the moment, Fugai lifted his sword up from the ground and he slowly approached Drio Obeto with smiles of victory.

" You see Obeton, You might be stronger but I am now stronger, You are now an..." Fugai couldn't complete his statement as he ducked a plasma attack, He evaded another blast but unknown to him.

The blast were just a distraction...!!

Obeton appeared before Fugai and he landed a bone breaking punch to the stomach of Fugai, He unleashed a plasma attack which blasted Fugai to the end of the Ring, Obeton lifted his sword and he slashed Fugai chin with his sword.

" Sorry to interrupt but you were saying? " Obeton asked with smiles on his face, He lifted Fugai up and head-butted him to the ground, He unleashed brute plasma force which knocked out Drio Fugai of the Nakraki Clan.

" Drio Fugai is knocked out, That means the winner is Drio Obeton " The Judge announced and everyone applauded immediately, Drio Obeto stretched forth his hands to Fugai and Fugai stood up immediately.

" How..how did you manage to trick me? " Fugai asked.

" It's simple, you became too cocky of yourself and your power, So I managed to let you beat me so that I can unleash the traps that I set for you, Well it's a great honor challenging you fugai " Obeton answered as they made their way out of the Ring.

" Drio Fugai has lost so he is out of the tournament, While Drio Obeton has won so he has advanced to the next stage of the tournament, Drio Konin of the Amastu Ninja Clan and Drio Votex of the Senju Clan...You two are up " The Judge said.

The two Drios glared at eachother as they advanced towards the Ring, The Emperor is just smiling all this while, He stared at The Drios approaching the ring and his eyes went to the direction of James.

James has been closing his eyes since, He is trying to track that strange powers!

" Huh? What is he doing? " Emperor Karsas muttered, Layla heard her father and she gazed upon Drio James then towards the Direction of Jade and Jace, Jade is just jumping up and down happily.

" Papa, do you like Drio James? " Layla asked and Emperor Karsas stared at his daughter and he smiled.

" Yes of course my dear, He is my favorite warrior and why are you asking? " Emperor Karsas asked, He trailed the eyes of his daughter and his eyes met Jade, He is shocked to sense Jade auras but he didn't show it.

" I am beginning to like Jade and I don't know why father " Layla said and Emperor Karsas smiled, He is even planning to link them together so that the Vragon lineage can grow in his family and he is happy.

" Well it is your feeling my dear but it is depending on your age, We all know that you like Jade but you are too young to engage in any decisions like that, Why don't you wait till when you are eighteen years of age " Emperor Karsas suggested.

" Ok father "

" Very well my dear child, I am sure that your mother will be proud to see and hear you express your feelings towards an individual but remember that you aren't a normal being, You are what you are " Emperor Karsas whispered.

" Okie dokie father...Can I go down to play with Jade and the rest? " Layla asked and Emperor Karsas nodded, Emperor Karsas might be one of the most powerful and stubborn Emperor and it began when his wife was killed "

⏱️⏱️⏱️Five Years ago ⏱️⏱️⏱️

Emperor Karsas and Empress Stella could be seen running towards the woods with a one year old baby girl in their hands, They could be seen running with hyper speed and that's because of the entity behind them.

The Demon Bear of Chaos, Empress Stella eyes glowed and a barrier stopped the demon bear from going any further, She lifted her husband and her child deep into the woods to hide, She stretched forth her hands and two kunai knifes appeared.

" My love, you can't battle against that demon bear, even with your powers you can't still defeat it alone, Allow me to aid you " Emperor Karsas pleaded, He made to touch her when a powerful force blasted him back.

" I am a goddess remember? Even if I now possess half of my Powers and half in my daughter, I am still powerful enough to stop it, If I die trying... Don't stop her from going close to the Vragons, It's her destiny " Empress Stella said.

The Demon Bear shattered the barriers with his sharp dark claws, He roared at Stella who emerged from the woods with her Kunai knifes, the ground began to vibrate with so much power as both powerful beings glared dangerously at eachother.

" Give me the girl and I will let you all go " The Demon Bear demanded, His auras became intense and it drawed the presence of James of the Vragon, James watched from the Darkness as Stella clashed with the Demon Bear.

Both beings were causing great harm to eachother, Stella leapt high and stabbed the Demon Bear with her glowing Kunai knifes, Screaming out due to the pains...The Demon Bear smashed Stella down and he stabbed her stomach with his claws.

The Demon Bear slowly approached the injured and dying Stella and was about to slash off her head when James came out of his hiding place and stabbed the Demon Bear in his right hand, The Demon Bear screamed out in pains.

James lifted Stella up and flew her to where her husband his, Emperor Karsas couldn't hold his tears as he screamed out in pains.

" The Demon Bear was unleashed upon this world by the help of the Villagers of the Empire, They caused this but I will kill this bear and save you " James stated and he rushed into the battlefield once again.

Escaping the claws of a furious Demon Bear, He caused chains to appear and he binded the Demon Bear with the glowing chains, James rushed to his sword, lifted it up and he directed a massive force which severed the Demon Bear into pieces.

James rushed to where Stella is, He meant to use one of his ancient healing techniques but it is too late, She is already dead!

" I wonder how a goddess managed to lose her immortality? This is becoming damn confusing to me " James said as he lifted the dead body of Stella while Karsas lifted his sleeping daughter from the ground.

" You have done a lot for my family James and I don't how to thank you, I will make my daughter to marry one of your sons and I promise you that " Emperor Karsas said and James nodded with a smile.

" What of her body, Where are you taking it to? " Emperor Karsas asked.

" She was a goddess, So I am going to bury her in the tomb of the Transgressions, And Karsas...Make those villagers pay " James stated before vanishing into the Darkness of the Night.
