Chapter 70: 70. NET {29}:- The Last Fight Of The Tournament.

Orion walked out of the tunnels and the sound of cheers erupted within the arena.

He stopped and glanced around the arena, taking in the cheers of everyone around him.

Even Orion was amazed by how quickly he had accepted his role as the prince of the kingdom.

Before the tournament began, he had always found it unsettling to have so many eyes watching him, but now, he didn't feel uncomfortable whenever he heard his royal subjects praising and cheering him on.

In fact, it made him feel like he could accomplish anything as long as he had his adoring fans by his side.

'Seeing them like this makes me feel like I'm a celebrity,' Orion uttered in his thoughts with a smile on his face before listening to what the crowds were saying.

"Prince Galdur!! Prince Galdur !!! You can do this!!

"My Prince, I love you!!!"

"It doesn't matter if you win or lose, my feelings for you will never change!!!"

"You can do it, Your Highness, I believe in you."

Hearing all these, his smile broadened even more than before.

'I know I've said this before, but it's the truth; this world is the best, I love it here.'

Orion clenched his fist and made up his mind to win this tournament.

Unlike Adrian and Luna who lost their fights, Orion was determined not to lose his.

He was definitely going to end the tournament with a win.

Meanwhile, Orion's opponent, Tengen, stood beside Ganesha as they waited for Orion to step into the arena.

Tengen looked around the arena and wondered why everyone kept cheering for the prince to win the fight.

'I know His Highness is a prince, but how do they expect me to lose against a ten-year-old?'

'Even the second and third place were won by adults, you can't expect me to lose against a child.'

'If I lose, I'll become a laughing stock to all the other contestants and mages in the guild.'

'So, I definitely can't lose.'

'But if I win, I'll become public enemy number one to all the women in the kingdom.'

Tengen chuckled to himself like an evil mastermind.

Ganesha. standing beside him. wondered what was wrong with Tengen.

To be on the safe side, he took a few steps away from Tengen. Who knew, maybe Tengen's behavior could actually be contagious.

"Are you ready?" Ganesha asked Tengen.

"Yes." Tengen replied.

Ganesha asked Orion as well and Orion replied with a nod.

Satisfied that both fighters were ready. Ganesha yelled. "Fight!!"

Without wasting a second. Orion instantly coated his body with lightning and vanished from where he stood to reappear right in front of Tengen.

With a lightning-fast punch, Orion struck Tengen's face, with his aura strengthening the intensity of his punch.

The dummy linked to Tengen cracked around the face and Tengen's body arched backward as it flew off the ground. But before he could escape, Orion conjured a whip of lightning.

The whip wrapped around Tengen. pulling him back to Orion with incredible force. Orion landed another punch on Tengen's face, once again causing Tengen to fly backward, but Orion pulled him back to him for the second time.

This time, Orion didn't punch him in the face, instead, he placed his hand on Tengen's face, and glowing orange runes burst forth from his palm, enveloping Tengen in runes that attached themselves to his body like tattoos.

Orion distanced himself from Tengen because, unlike the runic barrier he had restructured yesterday when fighting against Luna, these runes were explosive runes and were more dangerous than a basic fireball spell.

He turned towards the officials standing beside the dummy linked to Tengen and told them to leave.

The officials had noticed the runes glowing on the dummy as well but hadn't thought much of it, however, since the prince was warning them to leave, they didn't need to think twice before heeding the command of a rune monarch.

The runes glowed brightly, and then in a blinding flash, the dummy linked to Tengen exploded into a million splintered pieces, showering the surrounding area with wooden shards.

Meanwhile, Tengen screamed in pain before falling unconscious.

Everyone watching the fight couldn't believe what they had just witnessed, even Ganesha and the elders had their eyes and mouths opened wide.

It hadn't even been a minute since the fight began and yet the prince had already won?

The whole arena was as silent as a graveyard because no one had expected the prince to win so quickly.

However, Ganesha quickly came back to his senses and yelled out loud, applying mana to his voice for everyone within the arena to hear.

"The Winner Of The Noble Elf Tournament Is...!!!"
