Chapter 452 - Where is Nes? (2/2)

They were showing Roki's match against the Emperor tier beast. It was only the highlights, but Ray could see that Roki had fought the best he had ever fought before. And his opponent was a tough one.

”You really did it.” Ray thought. Somehow a man with no magic, with a decent amount of Ki but not crazy, had defeated an Emperor tier beast. Something he himself had yet to achieve. If he was to use his magic and fighting abilities, Ray was confident.

But while watching the fight, he couldn't help but think that he would have been in trouble if he was to only use his fists. The beast that Roy thought against had many limbs, or roots, as it was plant-based. Ray would only be able to hold off two at a time, and not being skilful with the sword would have been his downfall.

This man was strong, and the combativeness in Ray was sparked.

”He's good right,” Kyle said. ”I guess I'm finally going to see you and Harry go up against guys like this, huh?”

Finally, the Boots were done. Ray grabbed them and put them on there and then. Based on the measurements taken before, they were a perfect fit. These boots around the toes were orange in colour. Then going upward towards the ankle, two small wings like scales could be seen coming off them in a more black. As the boots faded from the orange to black from the toe.

”I hope you use them well.” The old man said as they left the shop.

Now with everything that was done that was needed to be done, it was late and time for them to head off to the palace.

The two met in front of the others in front of the Inn they were staying at, and Roy was coming along with them. As for Slyvia, she had bought a new eye patch to cover her eye.

”Are you going like that?” Martha asked. Nothing that Ray hadn't transformed into Nes.

”There is no point hiding anymore, a secret warrior. We were only doing it to gather some information in the first place. I will let them know who they are messing with, and I want them to see the face of the person the empire has chosen to tread on.” Ray said, clenching his fist.

The others were ready after only a few words from him, and it was time for them to head to the place. The palace was a grand place, mostly built with golden rooftops and round pillars. Around it, a wall that would divide the place even from the main city area.

Here they would not only meet the other contestants, but Ray would also be meeting the Emperor for the first time. The one that had chosen to cause them so much trouble.

Inside the palace, the Emperor was sitting at his large throne chair at the dining table. The other contestants had already arrived. However, there had been a small change. Instead of Bob sitting by Savanna's side, it was a replacement. Another gentleman who looked fairly older wearing silver armour and had a small goatee.

They could see that there were several empty seats in the dining hall, and no one had touched their food yet.

”Who are we waiting for again?” The young blonde warrior said.

”Don't you remember? There are still people from the Redwing Kingdom to come.” The old man replied. He was the spear user from before, and his name was Pai.

When Pai had spoken these words, everyone in the room went silent for a little bit, as they remembered the warrior they had met before from the Redwing kingdom. Did it mean he would be coming in the room?

Most of them never wanted to see such a man again.

Roki too was sitting down by the Emperor's side, and he was waiting to see the contender named Nes. He thought someone of that strength had to be here, for one reason only. He didn't know for sure if he was a contender in the all kingdom tournament, but something in his gut was telling him.

”Sir, the guests have finally arrived.”

”Excellent.” The Emperor said. ”Bring them in.”

The doors open, and in the room, they all walked in. Leading in the front was a red-headed looking young man.

However, everyone was surprised, who was this red-headed man, and what had happened to Nes?
