Chương 162: Azazel cup final match

"WELCOME ONE AND ALL TO THE EXCITING FINALE OF THE AZAZEL CUP! TODAY WE HAVE A MATCH UP THAT MANY HAVE BEEN DYING TO SEE, AND THAT SOME CALLED INEVITABLE! ITS THE RED DRAGON EMPEROR VS THE WHITE DRAGON EMPEROR IN A WINNER TAKES ALL SHOWDOWN!"

At the announcers words the stadium and the entire surrounding area shook as the audience sounded out their excitement at the upcoming match. Both teams walked out onto the field to the thunderous applause, each member of both teams equally anticipating the coming fight. Alex and Vali however never took their eyes off the other, as they both them and their respective dragons prepared to settle the most notorious grudge match of the ages. As they met in the middle of the stadium, everyone looked at the two teams lineup.

On Vali's team was Fenrir as Queen, Gogmagog and Zhu Bajie as rooks, Arthur and Sha Wujing as knight, Kuroka and Le Fay as bishops, and Bikou and Elaine as pawns. On Alex's team he had Grayfia as his queen, Vasco and Crom Cruach as his rooks, Irina and Lint as Knights, Serafall as his bishop, and Bova, Roygun, Ravel, and Elmenhilde as his pawns. As the members of both teams looked each other up and down, the announcer continued,

"FOR THIS MATCH WE'RE DOING SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT. USUALLY WE RANDOMLY DETERMINE WHAT TYPE OF RULES WILL BE USED FOR THE MATCH, BUT THIS TIME WE'RE JUST USING THE STANDARD RULES FOR A GOOD OLD FASHIONED FIGHT! THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT PROMOTIONS CAN BE APPLIED RIGHT AFTER THE GAME STARTS!"

At their words the audience went even crazier, as they waited for the match to start. No one in either team seemed as if they were put out by this decision, on the contrary it made both sides even more heated up. But that didn't keep Irina from saying,

"I wonder why they're changing the rules for this match, when they haven't before?" Alex explained what he thought to her,

"The heavenly dragons are the most notorious for their rivalry against each other, and the build up for the whole tournament until this point would be wasted if we settled the final match with a ball game or something." Irina nodded her head in understanding, as she also felt something like a ball game would be anticlimactic for the final round of a nearly year long tournament. Vali then said as well,

"This just means we can fight all we want this time, and settle who's strongest between the heavenly dragons once and for all." As if in response to his words a pair of wings appeared on Vali's back, and a voice came out directed at Alex, or more accurately his left hand.

To respond to Albion's words the gauntlet appeared automatically on Alex's left hand, and Ddraig replied,

Though neither dragon was technically living anymore, no one wanted to point this out. After the brief conversation a magic circle appeared and they were all teleported to the arena. When the shine from the magic circle faded, what awaited them all was a wide open field surrounded by mountains. In the distance Alex could see Vali and his team directly across from them, awaiting the signal to charge. Almost immediately after they got their bearings, an alarm sounded out signaling the start of the fight, and the two teams rushed each other.

***

Bova flew above his teammates as they moved towards Vali's team, when all of a sudden an elongated staff appeared out of nowhere. Bova immediately rolled to avoid the attack, and turned to look at his attacker, the current monkey King Bikou, who was floating there on his golden cloud. Bikou was cackling in his unique way, as he said to Bova,

"Hey, I want to see if you're as strong as your old man, hang with me a while." Hearing this Bova grew angry, as he turned to look at the annoying monkey. He hated being compared to his father, and now wanted to teach Bikou a lesson.

"Bova, retainer of the Red Dragon Emperor Alex, remember it monkey king!" With this words the two started their fight.

***

Crom Cruach was advancing along with the rest of his team when there was a sudden grey blur moving right towards him, causing him to make counter moves. The rest of the team kept moving while he stayed behind with the assailant, a large grey wolf fixing its stare directly at him. Crom Cruach shivered in anticipation, and said,

"So my opponent is to be he who could devour gods, Fenrir? I am glad I joined this team, I never would have gotten to face such interesting opponents otherwise." Of course his opponent didn't reply, but the two simply faced each other, and started their fight.

***

As Grayfia followed Alex she became aware of a formation surrounding her, to which she simply allowed it to take her. As the formation closed and trapped her inside, Grayfia was soon surrounded by several clones of a familiar nekomata with two tails.

"Nyahahahahaha, hello miss maid. It's time I repay you for all those times you spanked me, when I win I'll do the same so everyone watching will see you being humiliated!" Grayfia said nothing, but decided she needed to "teach" Kuroka what it meant to be someone's queen, and the attitude one should have. She silently promoted to queen herself, and prepared to face Kuroka.

***

As each of his team members split into their own battles, Alex focused on the one person left for him. Vali also focused on him, as the two took to the sky, he then immediately started chanting,

"The pure white dragon dwelling within me, rise up from your supremacy"

=the jet black dragon of infinity=

"The mysterious and unfathomable father of Devils"

<"we shall transcend the limits to accept the oath">

=<"Thou shalt kneel down before our bright and glorious existence!">=

As the chant finish Vali appeared before Alex in his Diabolos Dragon Lucifer form that was a combination of silver and black, and emitted an aura that would even make gods sweat. Twelve devil wings spread from his back, before they detached and formed twelve miniature wyverns that moved to surround Alex. The man in question simply smiled, and instantly transformed into his super Saiyan form, before he then transitioned into super Saiyan grade 2. Alex did intend to use his boosted gear during this fight, but it would be later. He then turned towards Vali, and said,

"Shall we begin?"
