Chapter 10: Why wasn't he dodging?
"Heaven-Breaking Sun Slash!" Several high elders gasped. "That's one of the clan's strongest offensive techniques! He intends to kill Kael! He's using his trump move immediately! Kael was really going to die or fortunately, crippled!" Golden flames erupted around Cedric, bathing the entire arena in brilliant light. His sword seemed to transform into a miniature sun. Yet Kael never moved. Lucy froze. Why wasn't he dodging? The attack was already upon him! Lucy's face drained of all color. Terror gripped her heart. "Kael!" she screamed, her voice trembling. "Kael... look out!" She instinctively took a step forward, but Lily tugged gently on Lucy's sleeve. “Mommy, don’t worry. Daddy is very strong.” She turned to Lily, her heart clenched so tightly it hurt to breathe. “You don’t understand, Lily…” Lily's bright eyes never left Kael. "Daddy is much stronger than that." The little girl's confidence surprised Lucy and she began to think if she had hyped Kael a bit too much. They h
Chapter 9: You're Still Beneath Me
The atmosphere instantly tensed up. Cedric's aura erupted, filling the arena. A while ago, it would have forced Lucy to her knees, but with Kael here, she didn’t feel an inch of it. Cedric frowned, realizing he didn’t get the desired effect, so he released more aura, this time even adding a little of his elemental qi to it. Kael slowly turned around. He didn't even bother releasing his aura but it seemed like Cedric's aura couldn't even come close. His eyes met Cedric's. "All this time and you haven't changed. You're still just as arrogant and ignorant as always.”Cedric burst into an enraged laughter. “You’re the arrogant one.” He willed his aura back to himself. I’ll admit you do look like you have some tricks.” He pointed toward the sky where the dragon had disappeared."I never imagined you'd somehow tame the Ravenhart Clan's Guardian Dragon, but you released your greatest advantage and jumped down carrying nothing but a burden." His smile widened.His evil glare rested on the l
Chapter 8: He's Back
Even Cedric's smile froze.A powerful pressure descended from above. The killing intent was so overwhelming that countless spectators felt their knees weaken.A deafening roar split the heavens.ROOOOAR!The clouds churned as a colossal scarlet dragon descended from above, its massive wings blotting out the sun. A suffocating pressure swept across the colosseum, forcing countless spectators to stumble back in terror.Every head instinctively tilted upward. "...A dragon?""That's the Ravenhart Clan's Guardian Covenant Dragon!"Suddenly the dragon let out a deafening roar that shook the entire colosseum.ROOOOAR!The colossal dragon descended toward the arena before coming to a halt in midair, its enormous wings casting a shadow over the entire colosseum.Only then did the crowd notice two figures standing atop its head.A lone man cloaked in black stood at the front, his hood concealing his face, while a little girl stood quietly beside him, clutching his hand.The man's face remained
Chapter 6 The challenge
The laughter grew louder. It felt like a knife twisting deeper into her chest.Yet under the binding spell, she had no choice.She bit her lip as slowly, she threaded the lace through the eyelets.By the time she finished, her hands were shaking so badly but she could barely pull them away.Cedric leaned down slightly and inspected them."Not bad." He smiled. "Maybe all those years as a servant weren't wasted." He laughed and released the binding spell.Lucy's shoulders trembled as she drew a shaky breath. For a moment, she nearly collapsed. The pain that had been tearing through her body receded leaving behind only numbness and exhaustion.Air rushed into her lungs. She hadn't realized how difficult it had been to breathe until the binding spell was gone.Yet there was no relief in her eyes because the agony had ended, but the humiliation remained.Cedric looked amused."You know what disappoints me the most?" Cedric scoffed. "I genuinely gave you opportunities but you kept waiting f
Chapter 5 You can never be him
The Colosseum of Valoria was packed to capacity. Nobles, merchants, knights, and commoners filled every seat, their voices merging into a deafening roar of excitement.Today, the next Lord of Valoria would be chosen.Yet amidst the celebration stood a lone woman in a faded servant's uniform.Lucy Ravenhart.Her clothes were plain. Her figure had grown thinner over the years, and her complexion was pale but one could see that she was really a beauty.Once, she had been the kingdom's brightest jewel, the daughter of House Belmont and the fiancée of the most talented heir in the realm.Even now, she remains breathtaking.Countless young nobles had pursued her and countless women had envied her.She had once stood at the very peak of the kingdom.Then everything changed. Her fiancé vanished without a trace and House Belmont, already struggling to survive, collapsed soon after.A woman who had once been destined for greatness was reduced to little more than a servant in the very arena wher
Chapter 4 Only the Protector Can Do That
"Father... be careful..." The little girl's face turned pale as the elite warriors charged forward.Their swords flashed and murderous intent filled the courtyard.Her tiny fingers instinctively grabbed Kael's sleeve.Kael looked down. He couldn’t explain how he felt but seeing her frightened eyes and her trembling hands that clung to him.He gently patted her head. "It's alright." His voice was calm.The little girl blinked. Somehow, her fear vanished.It was as if nothing in the world could hurt her as long as this man stood beside her.The lead warrior roared. “Surrender or be cut down!"But Kael remained unmoved. “I warned you!” The warrior announced as his first blade descended.Kael didn't move but the sword stopped inches from his face.The warrior froze.He didn’t even notice when Kael hand shot forward and caught the blade, barehanded!Crack! The weapon shattered.His eyes widened but before anyone could react, Kael flicked a finger.Boom! The guard flew backward like a can
