Chapter 34 - Coming of age ceremony (IV) (1/2)

It wasn't just the audience, even the Emperor that sat on his emperor's seat had some black lines on his face.

As for the 3rd prince of the Nicholas Empire, his eyes had started to shoot flames as he was enraged. The fight had not even started, yet that shameless bastard had already attacked and finished his opponents in one blow.

Not only that, they still did not know how he was able to electrocute his opponent because they did not see any lightning coming out from his palm nor any magic circle. they were still puzzled about this fact. The fight between the two hadn't even begun and it was already over.

While the people were looking at Shad with a weird expression on their faces, he looked at them and said.” when facing an enemy, being distracted or too trusting is a big taboo. Whether one was a warrior or a mage, it is something they should not forget.”

'Distracted and too trusting my ass! as an honored duel, you should always shake your opponent's hand before the fight as a sign of respect and fair play, yet you fried and electrocuted your opponent while shaking his hand with a smile on your face, and now you are talking like noble characters or some wise old man. ' thought the crowds but they could not voice their complaints out loud, they could only smile and agreed with the 4th prince.

” Indeed,one should never be distracted by the enemy on the battlefield nor underestimate your opponent.” Voiced the 3rd prince as he clapped his hand with an amiable smile on his face.

On the surface, the 3rd prince looked very approachable and friendly, humble and kind. However, he had this side that the vast majority of people did not know about. Deep down, in order to achieve his goal, he resorted to any means necessary, no matter how vicious and cruel it was.

Although he was only twenty-one years old, this 3rd prince had lost all of his humanity and sees people only as tools and stepping stones in his quest for power. Things like morality and emotions probably meant squat to him.

However, if he hadn't resort to some cruel and vicious method, there was no way he would have been able to acquire this kind of power and authority in the Nicholas Empire. His power and authority almost surpassed that of the crown prince, who was supposed to be the successor of the throne. Unlike the Djage Empire, the Nicholas Empire's next emperor is chosen by the Emperor.

” Finally, someone understands me. So who's next,” answered Shad with an evil smile on his face.

Shad clearly knew the reason why this 3rd prince sent his goons to challenge him. It was to know his real strength as he will probably be his next opponent or obstacle in the Mulan kingdom.

As he was in the Imperial capital, his tuff. The 3rd prince could not do anything to him but to play nice and get some data on him and everything, his magic spells, the time he took to cast each spell, what kinda of spells he used etc. the only way he could do that was by sending his followers to test him. Unless he knows his true strength, he won't engage him in a fight and made a joke out of him in front of all those people.

” Nickolson, you up next.” Said the 3rd prince as looked at the other youth behind him.

Right now, it wasn't about the adult rite of passage but a showdown between the younger generations of the Djage Empire and that of Nicholas Empire.
