Rise Of The Dragon Emperor

The red house was on a sweep , the battle tactics used by captain Yami were extremely effective and overall the reds seemed to hold the advantage.

The green house was a close second with the second most numbers on the martial platform , however it could be said that Percy was their heart and soul , as he alone was the support provider for nearly 6 of their best units.

Staying at the back-lines he used his powerful fire elemental powers to support any group that needed support without directly being involved in conflict.

Hence even though his personal eliminations were very low , his merit to his team was the largest of anyone out there.

The other house captains also understood this situation and hence they decided to target Percy Draco , as without him the green house would be crippled.

The goal of every student rushing into the green house’s area was the same , which was to eliminate Percy Draco , however none of them were easily able to reach him.

Staying near the very edge , Percy was holding his ground from the back end , as the green house students absolutely refused to let anyone pass through to Percy.

This resulted in the green house quadrant becoming a highly contested death zone , as both attackers and defenders bled numbers there.

Ronan on the other hand was leisurely kickboxing his way through any opponent he felt like challenging , as he had both his arms in his pockets while he was whistling to a popular folk rhyme.

He felt no threat from any opponent at the moment as nobody could withstand even two kicks from him , making the entire affair a piece of cake for him.

In a stark contrast to Percy , Ronan was the one with the highest elimination tally , eliminating over 400 students . However his involvement with his own house could be said to be minimal.

He was a rogue and a lone wolf , which was more like an entity of its own , rather than a red house member._.

It was not like he did not help red house members that needed it , it was just that his natural instinct was not designed for team play and was better suited to fight alone .

***

With time , the martial arena got much and much more sparsely populated , as the blue and yellow house were finally completely eliminated.

The red house had a total of 17 members left standing on the stage and the Green house had 6, the odds being in overwhelming favour of the red house.

Ronan who had racked up a total of 744 eliminations in the event was undoubtedly the number one position in overall eliminations , with the merit points associated with that achievement being a sealed deal for the red house.

Now the only obstacle between them and victory was one Percy Draco.

Percy was breathing heavily at the moment , as the constant usage of high intensity flame spells had taken a toll over his body , as he felt fatigued and needed rest.

The reds had wisely chosen to avoid the fight with the greens uptill this moment , as they waited and eliminated the other house’s first , as before the event Yami had clearly told them to avoid Percy Draco as far as possible.

Ronan was also a little fatigued however not as much as Percy , as he did not need to use much of his elemental affinity at all , as the kids here were weak enough to be defeated by his physical prowess alone.

The burden on Percy was different , without his support the green house would crumple .

The situation right now was also almost like Percy V 17 reds as the 6 green house members that were still on the martial stage were thoroughly tired after fighting for hours straight.

Their endurance was at its limit hence their movements were also sluggish , as they were pushed back to the edge of the arena and thrown over one after another.

Ronan did not engage in this round of fighting as he sat down on the stage with his legs folded as he watched the fight unfold between his brother and a swarm of the strongest third years from the red house.

Although Percy was a second year , his level far surpassed all of them and even when fighting 16v1 he was not at the disadvantage at all.

Rock Bassh !

Water fountain !

Ice pincer!

Fireball!

One after another spells would be thrown in the direction of Percy as the red house seniors tried their best to suppress him through numbers.

” It’s over Percy , you cannot escape us anymore “. One of the red house seniors said as he prepared the fire-spell in his hand.

Percy was heavily gasping for air at this moment , as he looked back to see that he did not even have a single foot space to retreat anymore , the slightest push being enough to eliminate him.

‘ I cannot believe Percy will be defeated ‘

‘ It is 16V1 this is unfair ‘.

‘ If you red house guys are soo tough , fight it out with him one on one like a real man! ‘

‘ BOOOO ‘.

Boo’s rained on the martial arena , as the other three houses collectively booed the reds , as the inevitable moment of victory drew closer for them.

” You can boo us all you want , however let this serve as a reminder to you Percy Draco , as no matter how strong you are , a second year is a second year and we seniors are seniors.

You are an undoubted prodigy , however be a little more humble and give us seniors a lot more respect ! ” A red house senior said , as the other third year’s around him agreed.

The Boo’s from the crowd increased tenfold after this arrogant speach by the red house senior , as the red house victory seemed all but sealed now.

However it was at this moment , that Percy Draco said

” Respect is earned not given , you cannot demand respect and respect given from force is but a pointless vain validation.

No i donot respect you , and no i donot fear you either.

Look me in the eye and watch

Do i look humbled to you? ….. “. Percy said in a low voice almost like a growl , as it was at this moment that his black eyes turned scarlet red and the power of the phoenix in his blood was awakened.

A flaming tornado shot up from his feet as it encircled his entire body , the circle becoming bigger and bigger with every rotation.

” Oo great phoenix , lend me your power , for i am in a perilous situation . Let me burst through my enemies and leave a trail of fire in my wake “.

‘ FIRE DASH ! ‘.

In the next 3 seconds Percy moved at a speed that appeared as a blur to the naked eye , as within 3 seconds 16 red house seniors were sent flying over the martial arena , without a clue of what was going on.

Their clothes had Percy’s burning footmark rotting away at their fabric , as their chests were either caved in or suffering first degree burns.

Percy Draco had exploded with unprecedented speed and power as he relied on his phoenix bloodline to go past his physical limitations.

In less than 5 seconds , the entire scenario of the martial arena changed , as only two people were left standing when all was said and done as it was Fire vs Thunder

Brother Vs Brother

Elder One Vs Little One

Prodigy vs Super Prodigy

Red Vs Green

Draco Vs Draco

Ronan Vs Percy , for the winter games championship.

Silence engulfed the entire arena , as people did not even with to make a slight breathing noise anymore , everyone being on the very edge of their seats , for this was possibly one of the greatest encounters of all time.

Even the teachers and the headmaster had their undivided attention on this bout , as both sides released an aura that was unique to that of peak geniuses.

Although Ronan was considerably weaker , his eyes showed no fear as a confident smirk was plastered on his face when he glared into the scarlet eyes of his brother.

” Alright Ronnie this is it , only you and me left , No holding back , Show me the power of that lightning you carry in your veins. Let’s see if it can stand to the might of my fire ! “. Percy challenged as he flared up to full power with a layer of fire engulfing his full body .

Ronan naturally responded in kind as well as he did a kip up to stand back up , as he powered up to 100% as well . Blue lightning cracking all around him , making his hair dance like they were in zero gravity , as the lightning carved into the arena with a crackling noise.

When the two finally took fighting stance , the entire academy seemed to be suddenly deprived of oxygen!
