Chapter 169 - You Shameless Ruler

With the new arrival of the opponent, it didn't take long before they begin to fight and it didn't take long before Jason won the match and begin to wait for the voice to announce him as the winner but just like the previous time another opponent came to challenge him.

"How many battles do I have to win before that dumb voice would be satisfied with my performance" said Jason in anger.

"Maybe when you are dead" joke the bracelet as he lets out a chuckle.

"You are not helping" said Jason as he continued to exchange blows with his opponent.

"What do you want me to say, I remember telling you to try and understand the trial you are about to take but you decided to accept the challenge since it has to do with fighting. So stop complaining and continue to have fun" reply the bracelet.

"But that was before the match started now it is different" said Jason as he dodged the attack. 

"With the way things are going it won't be difficult to understand the aim of this trial, so I will have to advise you to conserve your strength because you are going to need it later on" advises the bracelet.

"What are you getting at, why are you not saying everything you moron or are you only going to be happy when I fail to claim the legacy for myself" asked Jason in anger.

"You are the moron here, with all that I have said so far you still don't understand that the trial has to do with your stamina to continue the fight" replied the bracelet as he barked back at Jason.

"Oh, why didn't think of that?" said Jason with an awkward laugh.

Since he already has an idea of what is happening, Jason began to battle with fifty percent of his strength. Though it took much longer before he was able to defeat his opponent, eventually he won the fight and this continue over six more matches before the voice spoke up once more.

"Congratulations for defeating your opponent. Now it is time for the main event to begin, the rules are simple: win this match with any means and you will be deemed worthy of inheriting my legacy".

"I knew it has to be you who is behind all this you shameless ruler" yell Jason in anger as he stare at the sky since it is likely that the voice came from above.

"Cough Cough, how am I supposed to let you have my legacy like that without you working for it" replied the skeleton.

"You shameless thing, how can you still call yourself a ruler with this attitude you are displaying" said Jason after confirming that the voice belongs to the skeleton.

"Are you still continuing with the challenge or not?" asked the skeleton.

"How can I stop now after coming this far" replied Jason.

"Then stop complaining and continue with your trial" said the skeleton and before long another opponent has appeared on the ring but unlike the previous one, this new opponent seem to be a lot stronger with the aura that is coming from him.

"I guess I don't need to hold back on this blockhead and I" said Jason with a bright smile when seeing someone worthy to fight.

"Pfft. A blockhead is calling another blackhead, you are really funny you know that" reply the bracelet with a laugh.

Ignoring the bracelet, Jason went toward to approach his opponent as they both took their stand before exchanging below. At first, Jason thought the opponent before him wouldn't be that troublesome for him to defeat but after exchanging blows with him, he dawned on him that if he actually fought with his full strength at the beginning of the trial, he wouldn't have been a match for him. 

They both exchanged more blows and no one was getting the advantage over the other which annoy Jason since his opponent was created out of illusion, so he decided to add more energy to his attack to boost his power and it did take long before he overwhelmed his opponent and before long, his opponent has already been thrown out of the ring.

"I have gotten rid of all your puppets so when are you going to declare me the winner and hand over your legacy" said Jason proudly.

"I can see that you are really full of yourself but I am sorry to disappoint you, you won't be having the legacy anytime soon since you have yet to complete the trail" replied the skeleton.

"What now?" asked Jason with a frown. 

"This is only the second trial you need to pass in order to proceed to the next trial" replies the skeleton.

"Are you that happy tormenting a youngster over your legacy which I might lose interest in at anytime. So you might want to reconsider before playing games with me" said Jason.

There was a little silence before the skeleton suddenly spoke.

"Fine, there are three more trials before you will be qualified to receive my legacy".

"See, it wouldn't hurt you to say what I needed to hear" said Jason as he jumped off the ring as he headed to the door.

"I wonder what the trial would be this time around" said the bracelet.

"Who cares as long as I can claim the legacy, other things don't matter" reply Jason before going through the door.

After arriving at the next trial ground, Jason begins to observe his surroundings trying to figure what the test would be this time around since he doesn't want the same mistake to repeat himself. There seemed to be nothing in the room after he was done observing and he couldn't help but doubt if he was in the right room or not.

"Since you went through the door, it is supposed to bring you directly to the next trial ground. So don't let your guard down" advise the bracelet.

And that is how Jason begins to pay attention to his surroundings before the skeleton voice echo in the room once more.

"You may now begin with your trial".
