168 Rise of a Peerless Monster (1/2)
Everyone watch as the Blessed One was knocked away and sent into the arms of another outside the ring, those cheering for him rushed to his aid helping the old man up and rushing him to a nearby female youth that quickly started to heal him.
The SoulBearer was thanked by a few of them for not dodging and letting the elder take more damage from the fall, he smiled and sent them off as he did not speak their language and his translator was someone he feared.
This simple maid was the one who told him to catch the old man, otherwise he would not have reacted as fast as he did to the incoming missile sent at him.
”You knew he was not your match yet you still held nothing back, so shameless Dragon Emperor.”
Things like this were shouted out at the Dragon Emperor on the stage from those surrounding the Blessed One.
”Is it not your fault for sending this old man up to fight me, you should have just waited for that youth who was next in line to inherit the title of Blessed One. Did you not say he would send me into the afterlife for taking over your realm, maybe not now but sometime in the future?
Where is he now? Off training somewhere gaining untold amounts of power? Am I supposed to wait for him to come and rescue you, his people and halt everything that I am doing?
This is why the retired Blessed One stepped forward so you fools who so blindly believe in that youth can say nothing but be absorbed into my Empire.
So what if he is going to come for my head one day, today! This day I am your new ruler, until that day comes I welcome you into the fold.”
Looking at Natasha who was down below were I tossed the old man I spot my next Challenger.
Without waiting for me to signal him up he rips off his shirt and hops onto the stage, this shocked a few of the people surrounding him and the Blessed Elder.
”I am the SoulBearer from the Soul Realm, that was recently taken over by the Dragon Empire. As I was told, I am here to reclaim my Realm and free my people from your war against the other Realms.
So long as I best you the Emperor of the Dragon Empire I was told that I would replace you and free my people, but I wish to know what happens to us Challengers who lose to you like that old man?”
Walking forward Tia who is wearing a light blue dress that has a Dragon Token on the side of her hip began to speak.
This Token caught the eye of everyone present.
They have been appearing around those of the Royal Family lately and even a few key people in powerful positions possessed one.
Tia then started to speak. ”To those who lose in their Challenge, their wounds will be treated by us the Dragon Empire before they are left to do whatever they please, be it leaving and returning to their original Realms or joining the army after their defeat.
We leave the choice of what to do up to them, as for those who try to cause trouble or rebel after their defeat, they are sent into the Void that lies between the many Realms.
There they will be imprisoned and watched by the Shadow Clan.”
That is what happens to the loser of the Challenge, if that Challenger is the Emperor I am sure the Empress will interfere and beat the Challenger half to death before tossing him away.”
The last words she said sent a few chills down the spine of the many Challengers today.
They had all waited for the Emperor to show up only for him to be dragged here by the woman sitting on the throne right now, that alone caused them to realize this Emperor has a powerful Empress but many of them have heard that every female in the Palace is his woman.
They could not understand how they all obediently let the female on the throne act as she is the one true Empress.
Those Challengers who were confident in their power wanted to rule over this harem of beauties, and from the example they saw from the first Challenger, they knew to never insult the youth that is the Dragon Emperor on the stage or they will most likely end up facing the wrath of the Empress.
While the two on the stage were about to begin fighting the Blessed One stood up and started to speak.
”Wait!!
Dragon Emperor, as I have lost I hope that you will treat my people from the Saint Realm like those of the HighRise Realm, I have already been to that place and it is ruled by Grady who surrendered and joined your war against the many Realms.
I hope that my people can live a peaceful life, other than that you have our complete surrender.”
Many of the youths and Leaders from the Saint Realm wanted to voice their opinions but the Elder gave them a cold look, and the female healer stepped forward and silenced them.
”Who will fight in my Grandfathers Stead!? None of you cowards have the will to fight you only want to hold onto your power, so shut up and don't cause our situation to worsen. Our Blessed One is gone he left before we were invaded to gain more power but once he returns then what.
He might be gone for a thousand years maybe even a million but we will never know until he returns, it is too late to sit and wait for his return we have to move on.”
The girl tried her best to calm her people from the Saint Realm but I only smiled as I spoke.
”Your Blessed One is headed here as we speak, He defeated the guard I left in the Saint Realm and is headed here with a small army of the most powerful fighters in your Realm along with his captives.
