Bernard raised his brows and smiled, the masses turned again and looked at his smiling face slightly understood the reason for firm guts behind the bet. The audience wanted to cheer but they couldn't gather enough courage to utter anything loudly, because of the presence of a single man.
After landing a solid punch Akash Tagar raised his head at the populace sitting on seats. Seeing the atmosphere so silent, Akash furrowed his brows in displeasure, even though he was not someone who would seek attention but this time attention was one of the ingredients that Akash needed for his ultimate recipe. He looked at the side of the last row, the man in green was smiling at him. The King understood.
"Excuse me, good sir. Can you please do me a favour and sit in my room, with everyone so quiet, It feels like I am fighting on a deserted island."
Akash said.
The eyes of the listener widened, no one had thought a mere 3 Star tamer of the cursed city would ask one of the 10 Dragons of government to sit somewhere else. The smile on Bernard's face vanished, he stood from his seat.
~CLOP CLOP CLOP~
The sound of his boot-stomping the floor was echoing in the stadium, the fighters of Dhrab city stopped mobbing as well. All the eyes and cameras were directed at Bernard Maracas, the Foreign Minister stood outside the octagon. Akash moved as well
~KTOP KTOP KTOP~
The stomping of Akash was no less than those of Bernard's, the sounds of both stomps were different due to the vary design of boots. Akash stood in front of Bernard, only the shield was standing between them. Tension and temperature rose in the stadium, women closed the eyes of their children, men gulped their dried throat. The entire province fixed their eyes on TV, few showed their fret about Akash, some smiled at Abran's misfortune while the rest unconcerned themselves.
Bernard opened his mouth, attention crawled towards him.
"Haha sorry, I didn't mean to ruin your business. Where is your resting room? I will wait for you there."
The Foreign Minister said with a smile.
Akash Tagar smiled and gestured towards his room, Bernard nodded and stepped towards it. All those who were watching had their mouths agape, even the ancestor law enforcers were worried. Akash looked at Carno and said.
"Shall we resume our battle now?"
It was at this moment that Carno understood how terrifying his opponent was, a veteran tamer like him could judge how effortlessly Akash was facing them. It was 1 vs 5, yet there was no sign of hesitation and worry. A thought of surrendering came to Carno's mind, the existence of Akash overwhelmed him.
"Carno, what's next."
The wavy-haired girl Natasha asked
Carno flinched.
"What the hell I was thinking right now, these girls are here for me. How can I be so timid while they are not."
He shook his head and yelled.
"Black Toothed Tiger, bone-cracking paws. Thorn Plant, venomous needles. Aerial Owl, wind blades"
All three of his beasts started their attack, the beasts of other girls followed with a myriad of their own attacks.
The tiger raised his one paw and smashed it on Akash, The King dodged and jumped on the side. He saw hundreds of needles coming like bullets, Akash blocked each and every single needle with a delicate art of swordsmanship. The own upside released ferocious blades of wind, Akash stayed at the same position. When the blades were about to him, Akash covered himself with his golden cloak. The cloak was a mythical item, made from Ancestor Sparrow's laws. No law based attack could inflict any elemental harm on the wearer's body, Akash only felt sharpless blunt blows on the body. Once the attack finished, Akash stood up and yawned. Everyone jumped from their seats.
"What kind of treasure is this, not a single scratch occurred on the cloak."
"It must be of high grade"
"I bet it's an Upper High Grade"
Everyone was worried about that cloak, slowly and gradually, people started to believe that Abran's win in the first session was not a fluke. In amidst all, the ground started to crack. Akash looked down and a huge centipede came out around 20 meters long and 3 meters wide, it gulped Akash Tagar as a whole on his way.
"Hahaha, Abran my foot."
Irum laughed and commented.
The audience gasped, Irum's laughter was echoing in the stadium. After the entry of Bernard, the other three blocks barely got any attention. All the attention was drawn towards Block B, where Abran was listed.
"Irum, is he dead?"
Carno asked the laughing short-haired female.
"What? Haha, don't you know about my contracted tamed beast?"
Irum said.
"I know but… I have a hunch"
Carno said hesitantly
"tsk, oh come on."
she turned and raised her finger towards the sitting audience and said
"For those who still think Abran city can win, my beast is called Diamond Acid Centipede. Once it swallows something, it melts in mini seconds. An acid is a form of lava, your beloved handsome man has died. Haha, even his bones are…"
~BOOOOOOOM~
A loud powerful blast manifested on the octagon, a bell of threat rang in Irum's mind. She looked at Carno, who was as astonished as everyone else. Her body started to tremble as she spun slowly to see her beasts, Irum's face paled. Her beast was destroyed into pieces, its blood was all over Akash's body. Akash Tagar's clothes were burnt, leaving only a few pieces on some private parts which he was able to protect. The King poured the cosmic power into his spatial ring and it shined, a new set of clothes came out of it and Akash wore them.
After wearing the new clothes, Akash Tagar looked at the short-haired girl and spoke
"Is that all?"
"Wha… what do you mean?"
She asked
"Is this everything you all got?"
Akash cleared his question, the team of Dhrab city could only reply with silence
