Bab 24: Manticore
The strongest clan were the mystical manticore, they were always at the top and one of the strongest creatures. There were other strong mystical beings too but they were nothing compared to manticore who was always at the top. The dragons were at the top too but manticore was on a whole nother level and thanks to the advancement of the owl clan they were still evolving.
Queen Sassy shook her head and she said" fighting those guys were completely unfair not only could they fly but they can also poison you and burn you which was pretty unfair but they had one weakness which was Ice once you freeze their wings and take out that stupid snake of theirs they're all game".
The scorpion King shook his head as he said "yeah but not a lot of creatures that can use ice like you guys", Queen Sassy quickly rejected that sentence as she said, "there's plenty of mystical beings out there that can use ice like the Kraken clan, they are terrifyingly proficient in using ice moves and what about all the Beast that lives up in the mountains they're also proficient at using ice attacks".
King Spar had forgotten all about the northern dwellers as he said "well I definitely will never travel up north because I love my heat", Queen Sassy shook her head and said, "that's why you're stuck at that level you need to travel and experience hardship and not only in hot environments but cold environments too, once your body gets used to the cold I'm sure you will level up".
The scorpion King nodded and said," maybe I'll take your word seeing that you're giving me great advice after all". They finished their little chat and went back to focusing on the matches ahead. The dark horses were moving up the ladder until there were only a few lefts.
Surprisingly there was another guy that was also dominating but just by luck, it seemed like he had the special power of luck which could be either good or bad but it seems like today was his day where he was getting good luck as most of his opponents were falling off the stage so he slowly made his way up running around the stage and causing his opponents trip off the stage while he was running away.
Drazon had to go against this lucky fellow as he got a little nervous thinking will his luck affect him. Drazon shook his head as he got himself hyped as he wanted to stay focused. King Spar clapped his hands indicating the start of the battle. Drazon charged towards Lucky, but then he stopped and slowly walked up to him and punched him square in the face causing the kid to cry.
Drazon said "all your opponents have been running after you causing them to trip and fall off this stage but I was smart enough to figure out that if I walk how can I trip, the kid was so surprised as Drazon had found a loophole in his ability. The kid quickly said" I give up "given Drazon the win.
The crowd booed because the kid gave up too early and quickly as some even lost respect for him. Lucky had not thrown a single punch and had just given up like that. The kid got off the stage in shame and decided he was going to train his strength and not only rely on his abilities.
There were only a few contestants left at this point as Drazon went to relax after having an easy match. It was becoming late so King Spar decided to end the matches until tomorrow as the top 6 would be going against each other.
That King Spar had invited Drazon, Issa and Queen Sassy over to the palace to celebrate the great victories Drazon had on that day. King Spar's palace was quite big and colorful, it was all made out of glass sand as it sparkled in the sun making it quite a beautiful sight. King Spar's kids were around too so they were able to officially meet Drazon after witnessing his strength in the tournament.
The oldest Prince was out on training so he wasn't around but the princess and the second-born son who was 20 years old were able to witness Drazon's battles as they were impressed with Drazon and quickly made friends with him and Issa.
The prince was asking how Drazon was able to get so fast and Drazon quickly told him that it was just simply running. Drazon had run a few miles every day and put a lot of heavy things on his body while he was running that way when he took off the heavy equipment he would be light as a bird, making him faster than most folks.
Drazon told him how his training was extremely difficult but the pay off with the results was rewarding. The Prince was quite impressed with Drazon's work ethics as not a lot of people worked that hard at his age. The Prince wondered why Drazon was working so hard but then remembered that Drazon was now carrying the wishes of all the dragon clans.
Drazon had to avenge them as he was the only male figure of the Dragon King offspring even though they all never recognized him as one of them he didn't want to go through life hating the dead.
They continue to celebrate merrily as they ate and wined and dined all night long. King Spar offered them a guest bedroom to sleep since it was late. Drazon could be seen sleeping in the guestroom all alone, he missed the feeling of sleeping alone even though most of the time he slept with his mother he didn't feel very comfortable sharing a room with Issa as Issa was a growing girl and Drazon was a very shy guy even though he didn't fancy his sister like that.
Drazon still didn't want her around when he was changing or doing anything private, his mother he didn't mind so much due to her taking care of him since he was a baby. In the morning they had eaten breakfast and gotten ready for the second round of the tournament.
King Spar had set up the competition so that Drazon would be facing hard opponents. Drazon wanted to be number one so he had to fight both the dark horses unlike last time the dark horses fought each other in the last tournament he was in but this time he would have a tough battle fighting against the strongest youth and in the scorpion clan.
The first match of the Day was Drazon facing off against Dory, Dory had a special ability of time. She was able to control the time a little bit. She could freeze time for only 2 seconds which gave her the advantage to do a strike against her opponents. Everybody was excited to see this matchup but Drazon wasn't too excited because he had to face another female which he didn't want to but he wanted to win that Thunder fruit in order to advance his electric element.
