Chapter 126: Enlightenment Of Sword Aura

Two hours passed in a matter of moments, and the anticipation in the air was palpable. The crowd's excitement grew as they eagerly awaited the top four matches, particularly curious to see if James could continue his streak and possibly defeat the legendary Prince of the Sacred Light Empire.

The prospect of James, a commoner, rising to such prominence and becoming famous across all races in Rion was electrifying. 

Apollo smiled as he heard the whispers among the crowd. It was as if he had become a side character in his own story. He didn't mind the shift in attention. If anything, it amused him. 

The draws were made for the final two battles, and the opponents were decided:

Apollo vs. James, and Prince Michael vs. Ceres.
