168 Rise of a Peerless Monster (2/2)

Once he is here I will fight him like all the other Challengers and he will release my wife.”

Hearing my words the youth in front of me and those from the Saint Realm could not understand my calm attitude towards finding out my wife was captured.

What they did not know was the one sent to watch over the Saint Realm was the researcher Rose who merged with Lillie. At this moment she wanted to understand the Saint energy that existed in this Realm and see if she could use it in her experimental medicine.

Only to be captured (Surrender) once the Blessed One returned after the learned about a Power going from Realm to Realm taking them over, he was worried about his own Realm so he returned after finishing his Training.

On the Stage the youth looked over and the many tattoos on his body began to light up.

”Fight me Dragon Emperor!!! Remember my name it is Prexma.”

As Prexma rushed forward and sent a punch toward the Dragon Emperor, the Emperor did not dodge his attack and instead took it head on. Letting the first of this youth slam against his brown skin, on impact the stage below the two fractured and so did the area around the Stage.

Everyone watched blood trickle out of the Dragon Emperors mouths as he smiled and sent his own punch at the youth opposite of him, Prexma tired to dodge it but being so close he was unable and like the Elder before him was sent out of the ring.

In his case no one was strong enough to catch him so he expected to hit the ground hard and most likely faint on the spot. When he was about to hit the ground many of his followers rushed forward to catch him even if they were to be injured from the impact.

The fist the Dragon Emperor threw at their Leader was covered in black scales that was covered in flames and shattered the half of the stage Prexma was standing on.

Lingering flames still burn on the rubble that now lay at their feet.

They understood at this moment that their Realm was not going to gain freedom on this day.

Before they could catch their Leader who already fainted from the punch, the maid behind them moved forward and did what they could not, she not only caught their Leader but neutralized the shockwave left over from the attack.

As she caught Prexma she looked over and handed him to his people.

”Follow me and I shall show you to your quarters within the Palace, once your Master has regained consciousness he can seek me out and I will lead him over to see my Husband.”

Many of the other powers sitting down waiting for their Challenge to be next were shocked at this display of power from the Emperor. They had watched him struggle against his first two Challengers but after fighting that old man he displayed power that they never seen from him.

They understood that only against the Elder did the Emperor hold back and against the others he truly did struggle but as he fought he grew stronger.

A few who knew they were stronger than the young Emperor rushed forward knowing that they had to act now or he would grow to be to powerful. They did not understand how he could grow so much during his fights and they did not care, they only knew they had to act fast.

”No need to rush, you noticed to late I have already adapted and even if you were to challenge me now you will all face defeat at my hands. If you still want to try please step up on the stage but you should keep it in mind that every one of you that fights me only makes me stronger.”

Hearing this the group of me step back as they notice quite a few of the Empresses and guards stepped forward as they did, the only one that did not move was the Empress on the throne and the young General at her side.

Once the group of Challengers calmed down they returned to their seats and said they will not fight on this day but at a later date. They only wished to watch the last fight against the incoming youth who is titled Blessed One.

They could feel the power of the newcomer and it was many times their own, and they knew the Dragon Emperor with his ability to see into the future must have set up these Challenges to boost his power while he waited for the Blessed One to arrive.

Soon everyone felt the pressure from this newcomer, as he appeared in the sky he had by his side a massive ship that was surrounded by a force field of his energy.

”Release my people and I shall give you back your own!! Dragon Emperor!” Saying these words he pushed the ship to the side of him down towards the large clearing the Palace had for its ships.

The others who were with the Elder rose to the air and rushed to greet their Blessed One, once they made it to him they began to flatter and suck up to the youth that kept looking down below.

He then called out again.

”Elder Li are you not there? I have come to rescue you and the Princess.”

Elder Li looked at his granddaughter and smiled before standing up with the help of her and one of the Palace maids who aided in his treatment.

”I am alright, I have already fought against the Dragon Emperor and lost.

I wanted to test his ability and I have already decided to stay with the Dragon Empire whether you win or lose in your fight against him. As for my Granddaughter she can make her own choice, you want her hand in marriage and she hates you for forcing me into retirement.

I will not stand in the way of you youths, I will roam the Realms alongside the Dragon Empire to see the world and many different Realms that exist rather than sitting in my manner.”

Up above the youth could be seen looking down at the Princess with a kind smile.

”Fine!”
