"You are the last. Come!" Alex said coldly, not wanting to waste time.
The people seemed to cheer for him as they roared,
"Next!"
"Hurry up and get your ass there. Don't waste our time!"
"Kill that old man!"
The old man had a pale face as he had yet to come up with a plan to counter him. Actually, he had a plan, but that plan was too bizarre for him.
He stepped forward to the arena. There was no hope for Zhou Kingdom to win, and surrendering was also not an option. Alex needed to die at this moment as if his talent flourished, their kingdom would be destroyed sooner or later. He finally steeled his resolve.
Both Alex and the old man did not exchange a single word. Alex simply looked at the announcer, asking him to start the match. He also said to Sherry and Kyle, "Both of you get ready."
"Wuu!"
"Chirp!"
He checked the old man first before announcing, "Match Start!"
The old man swallowed a Berserk Pill and increased his power. They started clashing like the previous fight. Alex was planning to use his fire at the right time to end the battle in that instant.
"Heaven Breaking Sword."
"One sword decides life and death."
"Bam!"
The old man crashed into the arena wall. He immediately came out and leaped toward Alex once again.
Alex thrust his spear toward him.
"Silver Raven."
Suddenly the old man decided to do something unbelievable. He shifted his body a bit and let Alex pierce his stomach.
"Gah!" He spat out blood. After that, he grabbed Alex's hand that was holding his spear. The old man smirked, "I catch you, little bastard."
"!!!" Seeing this, Alex immediately swung his sword to cleave him into two, and the old man also grabbed Alex's wrist and forced him to let go of his sword.
Alex tried to move his hand but to no avail as this old man used everything just to stop him. The old man looked at him, "Heh… as expected. As long as I can catch your hands, it will be easier to stop you."
Fire suddenly appeared on both of his hands, and even his body started to glow brightly. "I will bring you down to hell with me, you little bastard!"
"!!!" Alex could clearly see it with his Spirit Eyes. This old man wanted to explode himself by making his Fire Element in his body berserk. He was planning to become a suicide bomber…
"Oh no!"
"That old man wants to perish together with him!"
"You old bastard!"
The people started panicking, they even wanted to charge to the arena.
"Die! Fire Emperor last move, Grand Annihilation!" The old man roared as his body finally exploded, and intense heat filled the arena.
"Boom-!"
All people's faces became pale. The hero in their heart suddenly died because of that.
On the other hand, when Alex knew it was a Fire Element, he did not do anything other than opening his Fire Phoenix Seed a little bit and covered his body with fire. That way, the explosion did not roast him or something as it repelled the old man's explosion like a bug repellent.
He looked down, trying to look at the last trail of that old man. "Sherry, Kyle, it seems your power is not needed for this…"
"Chirp!"
"It is good then. If Master needs our power, we will always be ready… albeit, I am soon going under my evolution, so I can't help Master that much later. Maybe, the battle with the grand army will be the last battle before undergoing my evolution…"
"Don't worry. I am looking forward to seeing you as a Martial King beast." Alex said.
"Yes."
"Still, I was lucky since that old man decided to explode his body. I don't need to use my power again." Alex sighed in relief.
When the smoke finally cleared up, Alex was still standing in the arena, without any wounds or injuries on his body. They did not know why Alex had no injury, but seeing him not injured made them relieved.
Only Letizia who knew about his element as she said inwardly, "Challenging a Pure Fire user with explosion… it obviously won't work at all unless you are far stronger than him…"
The people from Heavenly Sword Sect immediately leaped with joy. Not only them but also the entire arena immediately roared to the sky.
"What a fight! What a fight! With the cultivation of 8-Star Martial Lord, he killed eight 10-Star Martial Lords in this competition without rest. He revealed his power that seemed to be a Sword King power, according to our host, Honda Sana. And finally, even when we thought he died under that huge explosion, he shattered our imagination again as he was completely fine! What a God!" The announcer roared excitedly.
No wonder the people were excited, the fight between Alex and Zhou Kingdom was a heaven-defying battle. It was not like Letizia's battle where she was exhausted after fighting so long. And she also could not defeat Su Hua.
They could only claim she single-handedly defeated Mount Hua Sect, only barely. But, it was different for this fight. Not only Alex fought them without rest, there were no injuries in his body nor any sign of exhaustion. This match was Alex's complete victory.
"Ooh!" The cheering from the spectators even shook the ground.
Despite their excitement, Alex paid no heed as he collected all the Space Rings from these people. He wanted to eliminate the Blood Pills and Berserk Pills in their Space Ring. After doing that, Alex's simply left the arena directly. He also had another reason for leaving swiftly.
[Mission: Kill Zhou Kingdom's Participants (8/8) Completed
Reward: Gacha Card x1
Description: Congratulations Host for eliminating your enemies.]
Alex immediately claimed the reward and checked his tickets.
[Gacha Ticket x130]
[Premium Ticket x0]
[Gacha Card x3]
[Dart x0]
[Summoning Coin x0]
[Summoning Ticket x0]
He wanted to see the Gacha Box immediately since he never used it.
[This is the first step for you to destroy your enemy. So for a special reward, I will give you a spoiler. If you decide to use Gacha Box, there will be a huge surprise.]
This made him want to open it more. He immediately left the arena, leaving the people from the sect speechless.
[By the way, the system will remove the Equipment function after you reach Martial King.]
"Eh?"
[After considering your future, it would be better to remove this system. After all, this function is not used that much.]
"What? But I think it is a bit useful…" Alex said.
[Mission: Martial King Stage (0/1)
Reward: Premium Ticket 15 and Gacha Sovereign (Title)
Description: After accumulating experiences, Host is finally eligible to receive the title as the true host of this system. System shall bestow this Title to you.]
"..." Alex twitched his eyebrows when he saw the title. "This is not a scam… right?"
[Nope. This is the compensation for removing the Equipment Function.]
"So, what is the effect?"
[Gacha Sovereign (Title)]
[Effect: Become a bit luckier.]
[Description: Host will become the true master of this Gacha System. As the Master of the Gacha System that is closely related to luck and karma, Host will have a vague feeling that if you have any karma with someone, it can be bad karma or good karma. If it is good karma, Host can tie a knot with the said person and birth more good karma. If it is bad karma, you can choose to avoid that person.]
"Karma, huh…"
[Yes. There are many examples of them. Like your encounter with Mithra, you might be able to tie another knot with her and birth more good karma as you can try to do something good for her. Or your past enemy's reincarnation, you can avoid him/her so as to not tie another knot with them whether it is intentional or unintentional.]
"I am a bit confused with the explanation, but I will try to learn it in the future when I get the title. Still, getting a bit luckier, huh…"
[Yes. This is the main feature of this title. Your Hard Work is finally paying off, and my name 'Good Luck Gacha System' finally came into fruition.]
"Well… I argued with you a lot back then with that naming sense…" Alex chuckled.
[Yes.]
"That is a good memory too. I knew that you were trying to make me change my trauma to that anger so it would slowly disappear from my heart." Alex said with a smile.
[I am your System, and I will always help you. So, it is my job.]
Alex shook his head with a smile. "Well, I am going to leave now and open the Gacha. I am wondering what kind of surprise will you give me…"
[It is a very very big surprise. You might even cry if you see it.]
"I am looking forward to it." Alex then started walking to the exit of the arena.
However, before he left, Letizia suddenly contacted him, "Master, what about the plan for tomorrow?"
"Ah!"
After contemplating for a while, Alex decided to tell her as he did not want to be disturbed when opening the Gacha. "Well, I am not sure whether there are spies or not around, so we will fight. But, we just need to make it look like a real fight and focus on conserving our energy. Because this Tournament is not really important after considering what will happen next…"
"True enough. It is nothing important since we can't do anything with it if we die after the tournament." Letizia said.
"Yeah. That's why we are going to preserve our strength for the main event. Since the battle between Buddha Sect and Zhou Kingdom is a no-go, we have plenty of time.
"Just tell the people we will hold a special one on one battle with each other. As for who fights who… just ask your mother to discuss it with Sect Master Xiang Bai."
"But will people accept that?"
"They will. Just tell them because we have an alliance and such." Alex said with a nonchalant attitude.
"..." Letizia did not say anything for a while. "We can just surrender to you."
"No no. I want to try to prolong our fight, maybe the last fight. Their Martial Kings are on the way here, and I am a bit unsure when they will arrive, but since I have put another spy, we can be notified a few minutes before their arrival.
"Seeing we will fight (Our last), they will activate the array beneath the arena. Then, your sect will immediately surrender after that, and I will get the win. Maybe, I will be the last participant. As for the next plan… just follow my instruction later." Alex said.
"Understood."
...
The last match between Rainbow Flower Sect and Buddha Sect finally started. However, the people were disappointed after watching the greatest match of Alexander Sirius to the point they just wanted to go home after that match and told the others about it.
The result of the last match was already apparent anyway. Buddha Sect might fight bravely, but because of the power of Rainbow Flower Sect, specifically Letizia, they could not win.
After defeating six of them, they finally faced Letizia and were defeated by her.
The next day, it would be a final battle between Heavenly Sword Sect and Rainbow Flower Sect. They were wondering how the fight between Alex and Letizia unfolded.
Initially, there would be two battles on the last day. The battle between the finalists and the battle to get third place. However, because the Zhou Kingdom was completely annihilated, Buddha Sect automatically became the third place.
They once again shamelessly promoted their influence as they could become the third place without fighting eight 10-Star Martial Lords. They said it was because of the guidance of light or something.
When people from Heavenly Sword Sect and Rainbow Flower Sect heard it, they even started doubting whether this Buddha Sect was a cult or not.
