Rise Of The Dragon Emperor

Day 2 was equally uneventful for Ronan as he only got to fight a single fight with the other 5 opponents surrendering to him before the fight even started.

Day 2 was the easiest day for Ronan as all his opponents on day 2 were below level 90 and could be considered the weakest contestants in the competition.

The one who showed the spine to fight Ronan was a warrior who Ronan appreciated a lot , as despite being only level 81 he had the guts to give it his all against Ronan.

Ronan hence decided to honor the warrior spirit of his opponent and not hold back much as Ronan gave the contestant a bearing of his lifetime , breaking 7 of his ribs and 12 of his teeth.

The match was so uncomfortably brutal that for a moment even the crowd of Avalon became silent as they uncomfortably watched the one sided beatdown.

Should Ronan have chosen to give the opponent mercy , he could have easily ended it in 20 seconds or less , but he dragged the fight for a full 2 minutes as he gave the enemy a chance to do his very best..

Although the opponent lost miserably , Ronan actually clapped for him after the fight and helped him back to his camp as he congratulated him on being a true warrior.

Ronan understood that going easy on an opponent in a non friendly spar was nothing short of utter contempt and disregard , hence even if it was brutal Ronan gave the enemy an honorable fight.

Day 2 for Percy however was different to Ronan as he won 5 fights of his 6 while having to face the wind elemental user ‘palkia’ he could only bring out a draw.

Percy had carefully decided that revealing his special moves this early in the tournament was detrimental to his overall goal with Zimo and Diago yet to be fought , hence eventhough he could have beat Palkia , it was not possible without going allout in the 30 minutes time limit.

Palkia was shook up that he could not defeat Percy as he had not estimated the strength of the prince of Avalon to be so high.

Although on the surface it looked like Percy and him were evenly matched , the reality was that he was going at it at 100% while Percy was only going at 80.

He was reserving his strength when facing a monster like Palkia and the very thought sent shivers down the spine of the youngster.

Percy was only 15 and yet his strength was almost bottomless , one could only imagine how strong he would end up becoming when he became an adult.

However a draw meant that Percy lost a point ok day 2 , falling to position number 3 outside the qualification spots as Zimo and Diago won all of theirs.

Although this was a strategic retreat and percy had the confidence to pull through to the semi finals , his supporters started to feel anxious for his qualification.

********

( Day 3 )

The very first match of day 3 saw Ronan matched up against the Mad-Dog as right from the prematch trash talk the Mad-Dog started to bare his fangs at Ronan.

This fight was one of the most anticipated matchups of group A , as for the first time both Mad-Dog and Ronan were going to be put to a test against a really strong opponent , and the winning streak of both was on the line.

While Ronan was his usual calm and collected self as he looked at his opponent , Mad-Dog instantly started to shrink Ronan down to size with his vile tongue.

” Hahaha , another filthy noble in my path , watch me crush you weakling like the real bug that you are !

Born with a silver spoon in your mouth , with servants to wash your clothes and chefs to cook you meals . You can never become as tough as us commoners who struggle to eat every grain of food on our plate!

Today i will expose you for the weak upbringing you have and just like all the other nobles i crushed before you , i will obliterate you too “.

Ronan paid no heed to his opponents vile words as he pretended to clean his ears and look towards the sky as he did not give the Mad-Dog the satisfaction of taunting him into rage.

However while most opponents stopped the trash talk at this , Mad-Dog being the uncouth hooligan that he was took it a step further as he said ” After i beat you brutally today , i will personally visit that beautiful grandmother of yours standing behind you , in her private room and show her a good time “.

Mad-Dog did not actually mean these words as he said them , for him who was raised in the slums and humiliated by the nobles daily as a kid , such insults were commonly thrown amongst his fellow slum dwellers . However Ronan did not take to those words kindly at all.

Ronan’s anger flared , as in an instant the weather over arena A changed drastically as the clear blue sky was covered in dark grey thunderclouds as thunder boomed in the distance.

Electricity started to sparkle all over Ronan’s body as the arena below him started to be destroyed by the pressure his body exerted .

As his anger filled eyes that sparkled with blue thunder matched Mad-Dog’s the other party felt a fear unlike he had ever felt in his life , as a deep primal voice that did not sound like a 13 y/o kids at all said ” I dare you to …. Say that again! “.

Boom ! a massive bolt of lightning illuminated the sky as the thunder was strong enough to shake the entire arena with tremors.

Mad-Dog had unknowingly crossed Ronan’s bottom line , and now there was going to be hell to be paid .
