The never seen before golden dragon had flown toward the slime-like creature that became a giant.
The dragon flew into the creature's mouth and destroyed itself, releasing ten trillion joules of energy to destroy the creature from the inside.
In the end, the creature blasted up into millions of pieces and disappeared without any trace, or so thought the monarch of the Death clan.
However, Vesyrn has yet to admit defeat. Grabbing one of the slimy patches that stuck all over his body due to the earlier explosion, Vesyrn closed his eyes and poured his soul energy into it, "Restore".
In the next second, all of those pieces of slime flew toward a single spot and merged with each other, resurrecting the impure Protos creature once again and shocking everyone including Qridus.
"Just how much you have improved your inborn ability?" Qridus couldn't help but feel like his successor's ability is a cheat. And all of a sudden, he could see the future in Vesyrn and not just as a temporary clan head until Azzy takes his place.
Letting out a smile, Vesyrn replied, "It's all thanks to Raya and my wife that I have managed to do this. Earlier you said that I cannot deal with supreme beings. I may not defeat them with my current strength but you can rely on me to protect our clan from supreme beings in your absence."
"Don't get ahead of yourself, brat." Qridus disappeared from Vesyrn's sight all of a sudden. In the next fraction of a second, the clan heir felt something strike his abdomen with great force.
pαndα`noνɐ1~сoМ He crashed onto the ground without being able to block the attack.
Appearing a couple of feet away from Vesyrn, the old man spoke, "you are still a millennium away from contesting against a supreme being. The mastery we have over our attributes isn't something you can match with the power of skills. You aren't at a stage where you can bend the light around you and turn invisible yet. When you achieve such a level, you can speak the same words."
Vesyrn Garcia clutched his stomach in pain. He quickly got onto his feet while wondering whether his ancestor wanted to punish him or let him show off.
In the end, he said, "I understand."
Qridus nodded, "alright, get up. Our fight isn't over as you have yet to land a hit on me."
In reality, Qridus wanted his successor to show off his skills to the clan to gain their trust but doesn't want him to become complacent.
Soon, the battle resumed.
As Vesyrn took the control of the impure protos being, Qridus decided to crush it. However, the task wasn't easy by any means.
Vesyrn's inborn ability practically made it immortal. Every time Qridus destroyed it, Vesyrn would bring it back using restoration as if he turned back time.
The impure protos being would once again attempt to capture its target. Qridus would try another method only to see his successor resurrect it again.
It is just one skill card (fusion type) and a supreme being like Qridus was spending a lot of stamina and time destroying it again and again. He even attempted to capture it but under the instructions of Vesyrn, the protos being would corrupt the prison that captured it and gets free.
After more than a couple of dozen failures, Qridus eventually used a sealing technique to place the protos creature under an illusion. It was so powerful that Vesyrn couldn't bring its consciousness back to reality and was forced to think of another plan.
In the meantime, he resumed his close combat techniques to land a punch on his ancestor.
Qridus was either dodging or blocking skillfully but due to physical and mental tiredness, he eventually lost his focus on his surroundings and only paid attention to Vesyrn as the battle entered the 8th hour.
From here to there, and from there to somewhere… both of their positions kept on changing and it became extremely harder for the spectators to spot them either. After all, they were also mentally tired due to the long battle.
If there was anyone who was completely focused on this battle, it was probably Prince Velez who returned to the stands and became a spectator. As Vesyrn was giving him more and more surprises over time, his feelings became quite complicated.
But, that doesn't mean he would accept the earlier outcome. He lost his position and his heart is screaming for revenge. And to do that, he needed to know everything about his enemy.
That is why his concentration was highest as he observed both of them. As a legendary realm expert, he doesn't have any difficulty watching their movements either.
The battle went on for another half an hour and finally, Vesyrn found an opportunity to deal a blow to the clan head.
Qridus was so focused on Vesyrn that he forgot the existence of the protos being and ended up nearby the creature.
Since it was still under the illusion, Qridus didn't much about it but then as Vesyrn landed right behind the creature while he was just a couple of feet away, he sensed something wrong.
And by the time he realized it, Vesyrn had made his move by detonating the creature.
"Boom"
An enormous explosion was seen in the arena, followed by the crash of an old man onto the barrier that was protecting the spectators. The ones who were sitting in the stands experienced something similar to that of a low-magnitude earthquake and they couldn't help but stand on their feet.
Meanwhile, the innermost layer of the barrier was cracked and Qridus slowly started falling down with second-degree burns all over his body.
As he landed on the ground and healed himself up, Qridus saw his successor slowly raising high into the sky with a large crater formed beneath him.
*Clap* *clap* *clap*
After clapping three times with a nod, the old man announced loudly, "Congratulations, you receive my acknowledgment as the acting clan head. Now, I can leave for the adventure without any worries."
As Vesyrn thanked him and heaved out a sigh of relief, Qridus slowly rose into the air and returned to the VIP box.
*clap *clap * clap *clap
The spectators clapped loudly and cheered Vesyrn's name while he slowly landed on the ground.
Looking at him, Prince Velez mumbled, "His inborn ability is what enabled him to go toe to toe against the clan head. I should look for a way to seal the inborn ability completely if I want to deal with him in the future."
Prince Velez then rose to his feet and left the arena before returning to his home without looking back. Everyone is too busy to pay him any attention. Hence, his return appeared even more humiliating for the prince of Freyles.
Meanwhile, in the arena, Albin Ash leveled the ground using his sand Arcana and made it look as good as new. The traces of the earlier battle completely disappeared.
Looking at his pocket watch that says it is around 4 p.m., Albin thought that there was enough time for the closing time and addressed the clan members.
"Now, it is the time for the pavilion masters to be challenged by any individual who is interested to become a pavilion master.
As long as the challenger is in the 7-star realm and registered birth name in the population records of our Death clan, he/she is eligible for this segment.
The rules are the same as the earlier battles. However, due to time constraints, only 30 minutes are allotted for each pavilion.
We'll start with the strongest of the seven pavilions; the Violet pavilion. Pavilion Master Evelyn Crescent, make your way to the arena."
As soon as her name was announced, several males who were about to leave the stadium to have lunch returned to their seats. It isn't surprising considering the fact that Evelyn is one of the most popular ladies within the clan.
During the past couple of hundred years, she had countless marriage proposals from almost every clan except for the Blood clan but she rejected everyone so far. There's even a rumor that she likes girls and another rumor states that she is a celibate…
Whatever the case, the atmosphere was lively as the busty woman entered the arena and landed in the center.
Taking a glance at the audience section, she spoke loudly, "Is there anyone who wished to challenge me?"
Izora wanted to raise her hand and go there as she always dreamed to defeat her cousin but never succeeded. Before her marriage, she challenged Evelyn so many times that their battle is almost considered a regular event on this day.
Unfortunately for her, the hand on her belly reminded her that it is not safe. She clenched her fist and stayed silent to watch a woman slowly making her way toward Evelyn. In one glance, she could identify this woman who had several similar features to that of Albin Ash.
"Irene of the Ash Clan challenges Elder Crescent."
