Cthulhu Gonfalon

Chapter 216: Chapter 86

Alan. Full name Alan Apollo Kasadier, from Storm Sea.

His first name was “Alan”; “Apollo” was his nickname in his tribe; “Kasadier” was the name of the tribe he was born in.

Mm, he wasn’t a human, nor an elf or Orc; he wasn’t even any kind of a land creature.

More accurately, he was a giant dragon.

“Alan” in dragon language meant “strong.””Apollo” meant “mixed race.””Kasadier” was a famous sea dragon tribe.

The swordsman—who was nameless to the point that he didn’t even have a nickname—was a young giant dragon from Storm Sea.

He should have been slightly younger than Snowflake; he had just become an adult a while back. As for why he took the form of a human to join the martial arts contest on land? It was of course for the cash prize!

“To earn a cash prize through martial arts contest; what is wrong with that?” When Snowflake asked him in private, he gotten such a reply. “Although I am very young and have yet to consider about getting married and starting a career, if I earn more now, I will be able to build a glamorous dragon den in the future to attract good ladies that are willing to marry me!”

Er, it wasn’t exactly wrong. To a giant dragon, especially a young male dragon, the glamorous level of a dragon den, hidden with wealth and treasure, signified his capability and charm. A giant dragon that could own a golden mountain (as long as he wasn’t too ugly looking like wearing a jellyfish head), was then handsome, strong and attractive. Just like on earth, if a normal looking young man drove a limited edition Rolls Royce, it would definitely add extra hundred points of charm. If he were to stay alone in a luxurious house that had a garden, swimming pool or even a stadium, with an enterprise that was the top five hundred in the country under his name, his charm bar would be full. Unless it was really a girl that was impervious to the temptation of wealth and high position, there would be hardly any girl that could resist such a man. Especially when the man was obviously looking for a good wife for marriage. It was simply irresistible.

Or, when a girl wasn’t swayed by such a man, it meant that the girl already found someone she liked, or her taste was extremely bizarre and unusual.

The culture between giant dragon and human was actually not too far apart.

Alan was a kind giant dragon. He decided that he couldn’t achieve wealth through robbery and cheating. He was young and his capability wasn’t too strong. He wouldn’t be able to earn much through taking up a hiring offer. Comparably, to come to Void Mask Theme Park and fight for the fat cash prize with all his effort seemed like a great plan!

In actual fact, there were quite a number of young dragons that participated in the very first martial arts contest. There were even senior giant dragons that had no moral integrity, which hid their strength and wanted to sneak in to get a championship. There was no age limitation when it came to chasing after wealth. There were many old seniors that were working hard to earn money even when they already had a big batch of children and grandchildren. Many old seniors that had enough wealth to build themselves a golden house, but they didn’t intend to retire.

A few Gods spotted these old seniors that had no moral integrity. For that, Morani purposely went over to Dragon Cliff at Dragon Mountain to visit the great Dragon King Majesty. Dragon King knew the behavior of senior dragons and got very angry. He summoned all of them back by force. Regarding if they were summoned to be lectured or beaten up; that would be up to their family rule. Morani was not interested, and Sui Xiong couldn’t be bothered either.

The competition rules for the very first martial arts contest were clear: only those who were below the level of legendary realm were qualified.

After a few rounds of battles and eliminations, the only last giant dragon that persisted was Alan, thanks to his capability.

Although his sword craft wasn’t glamorous enough, he was skillful. Compared to the “reliable Nicholas,” he wasn’t that bad, and he had a few amazing masterstrokes. Almost every one of them could trigger strong power. He won against his enemy and achieved victory at the end.

Plus, his equipment was quite amazing. His armour was a scaly one made with precious metals, and each scale had magic instilled in it. Hence, the combination of all magic instillation formed a few magic arrays, which was the highest grade of magic-instilled armor. His sword was the famous legendary soldier “Chopper Gerald,” which was known for its characteristic of chopping everything. It was already famous across the world, from back during the decline of the elves.

Also, Gerald had gotten his name from the holy sword. It was like on earth, where people would name their children “Dragon Fountain,””Tai E” (name of an ancient sword), or “Caliburn.” It wasn’t anything rare.

Wearing precious armor while holding a holy sword, his capability was ridiculously strong too. Alan could advance brutally in the very first martial arts contest by winning against one opponent after another, and finally entering finals as the winner in victory group. It would be right and proper.

On the other hand, although Lewre was defeated once but not by him, he wasn’t stressed facing him at that moment.

Holy arrow against the holy sword; archer against swordsman; the match was extremely interesting.

Fighting against holy sword Gerald that chopped everything, Lewre took off his armor that wouldn’t help much. He was left with a common cotton outfit and a few pieces of equipment that could enhance his speed in order to put his advantage of quick response into full play. His shadow was simply like the wind, blowing lighting in the battle ring. However, every sharp arrow that was shot out in the light breeze was like lightning, unable to withstand.

Alan was wearing heavy armor. Even though he had the godly power of a giant dragon, he wouldn’t be able to catch up with Lewre’s speed under such circumstances. Hence, he could only stand still and block Lewre’s arrows with his exquisite sword’s craft. He also occasionally attacked with his sword’s aura to faintly check with the enemy force, so that Lewre couldn’t fully unleash his advantage smoothly.

It was clear that if they wanted to fight against each other in speed, unless he revealed his original form, he wouldn’t be able to win. However, regardless of attack, defense, or stamina, he was much stronger compared to his opponent. As long as he didn’t make any mistakes, no matter how long the battle would go on, the final winner would be him!

Plus, the terrifying speed that his opponent was showing would definitely cost him a terrifying amount of strength. Comparably, his strength expense was much longer, so he should have been the one at advantage.

So, he wasn’t in a hurry.

But, Lewre wasn’t in a hurry either. He knew that his battle method would expend large amount of his strength and he wouldn’t be able to sustain it for long. But, the way Alan was fighting, although it wouldn’t expend much stamina, the mental power spent was far more than his. To block off arrows with sword required an unusual amount of attention and quick response in order to concentrate in such a terrifying stage. He didn’t believe that his opponent would be able to persist long under such circumstances.

Both parties were confident in themselves. The battle gradually turned into an endurance battle.

Unexpectedly, Lewre’s stamina was ridiculously strong. On the other hand Alan’s mind power was also tough. Even Snowflake who was also from the dragon tribe was extremely amazed. The daytime battle continued through the night under the magic lights. Until the next morning, the battle was still going on. Only at sunset did the match end.

Lewre’s stamina finally got to its limit first.

When Alan finally found an opportunity, he immediately mounted a charge in full speed which had not happened for the past two days. He stabbed through Lewre’s chest, and the very first martial arts contest had finally completed all the matches.

But, it didn’t just end there.

Lewre who was severely injured received immediate treatment. With Morani’s treatment, he recovered very soon.

Looking at Alan who was laughing happily but looked exhausted on the battle ring, Lewre was quiet for a while before he laughed too.

“It was a good match!” he said.

“Yeah, all of you fought well!” Morani nodded as He complimented.

Lewre let out a breath and a heavy sigh, but his eyes grew brighter.

A mysterious aura gathered around his body. Although he was already so exhausted that he couldn’t even stand still, that very moment, he felt stronger than when he was giving his all during the fight earlier.

Alan who was laughing on the stage saw the scene and was suddenly stunned.

He could of course tell what was going on. The human archer that he just defeated finally broke through the limit of a commoner, and stepped foot onto the pathway of immortality!

From that moment onwards, Lewre was a legendary expert as he walked before him.

The bard, Shoggard, who was in charge of recording the competition situation, noticed the dramatic scene. Not long after, he even put together an opera and used it as an important scene in the opera, “Gathering of Experts.”

Of course, to the descendants, the most important thing that happened that day was definitely not “the champion of the very first martial arts contest,” nor that “Archer of Fresh Spring, Lewre Spoolin, stepped foot into legendary realm.”

The most important incident that happened that day happened during the award ceremony.

Four Gods were gathered there and were prepared to give out prizes to Alan, Lewre and Soocher. But They were waiting for the last person, the organizer of the martial arts contest.

However, they waited for quite a while, and Sui Xiong had yet to come out from underground.

“What is it?” the God of Justice, who was impatient, shouted at the ground. “Bro! Hurry up! It’s time to give out prizes!”

Sui Xiong’s voice was heard from underground. As they were separated by soil, there was a slight echo.

“Hold on, let me shoot this first!”

His voice was full of exhaustion, but there was an excitement that couldn’t be explained.

“Huh?” Yorgaardman, Moroni, Lewre and Wor exchanged glances, not knowing what he was planning to do.

Then, the earth shook and gradually cracked. A huge pipe that looked like flesh and blood but gave out a metallic shine extended out from underground. It was like a mountain that was standing tall and erect, pointing at the sky.

Accurately, he meant it towards the direction of “Rainbow Fountain,” the holy kingdom of the Master of Mystery.

In the next instance, along with Sui Xiong’s laughter, the earth shook.

A white light shot out from the pipe and headed directly at the Rainbow Fountain!

Bro Xiong had always kept up his promises. If he said he was going to beat Him up, he was going to beat Him up!
