Chapitre 494: Strongest man

It appeared the Abbot just changed the entire structure of the so-called ritual and announced the event to be five of them against everyone else. 

The group was glad to be able to participate at all, hence no one complained.

It was now time to decide who among them five should go first, clashing against those two dozen invitees.

Emery could see Julian was being overly excited about this. It seemed the defeat he previously suffered under Thrax's hands became the main reason for his behavior.

"Let's face it, guys. Klea and Emery were too strong for them to handle. Even though I am not trying to doubt the mighty prowess of our Thracian friend here, it is a fact that he's still wounded. So let's not take any chances for our dear friend's wellbeing. Which means it is between me and Chumo."

Julian had already taken the lead on the discussion, as he fired his argument rapidly leaving no chance for the others to rebut.
