74 The Atlantean Olympics (1/2)

Herald notices quickly.

”...Ether.”

”Yes Herald, just like you thought.

The white king is the king of Jinnis, The Great Kamar.”

Herald. ”...I see,

To summon him just to win in an arm wrestling contest, isn't that a bit overboard?”

Ether. ”...Well, It is actually.

I am pretty sure he wouldn't like it, especially that he has to come from very far away.

But it's Master Alkeyder we're talking about here, even our king bows down to him.”

Herald looks towards Alkeyder in admiration.

And says to himself.

'...How was he able to get this strong and respected, and still be down to earth and someone you can relate to.

I admire you, Sir Alkeyder.'

But Heracles is going insane at this point, before Alkeyder could complete his summoning spell.

The power of his dark flames took over the whole place.

And his scream got even louder.

At a certain moment, the world stopped, time freezed and sight was blocked.

Love shielded everybody from the explosive waves coming from the two...

And everybody could no more see a thing.

Moments later...

The explosion stopped, the clouds cleared and the sun shined upon the Atlanteans.

Beazly says as he's oppening his eyes again.

”...Who won?”

Love looked surprised a bit then smiled.

Joshou. ”...Heracles won!”

And he was right, Heracles hand was the victorious as he brought his companion's hand to the ground.

Then, the table disintegrated in the sky as it served its purpose.

Herald was shocked.

”...How come?”

Ether. ”..For some reason, at the last moment Alkeyder stopped the spell.”

Herald. ”He stopped?”

Alkeyder and Heracles stand up again, but Heracles looks quite annoyed.

”...You won.” Alkeyder tells him.

Heracles replies. ”...Why you stopped?”

Alkeyder. ”Well...You were going to beat me before i complete it, it is a pretty long spell and if I had summoned him later on, it would be useless and he'll be quite upset.

I should've started earlier and you were the stronger one in this match.”

Heracles kneels before Alkeyder as a sign of respect.

”...So, good thing this didn't last so long right?”

Aciya comes to the scene. ”Yeah or else i would have to seperate both of you.
