Rise Of The Dragon Emperor

Percy summoned his strongest move, the 4 horse dash, as he took on Ronan’s Flaming Lightning Wheel.

The four stallions looked incredibly menacing as they tore through the air, charging towards Ronan’s small wheel.

When the two moves collided, everyone expected a big bang, the sound of a clash, or a destructive turn of events. However, everyone in the audience as well as Percy Draco were left utterly stupefied as Ronan’s wheel cut through the four horses as if they were air, charging towards an unguarded Percy!

The moment the two attacks came in contact with each other, Percy’s peak C-tier spell was dispelled as if it was nothing.

This was a very unexpected turn of events, and Percy had no backup plan to face Ronan’s incoming attack.

In the last possible second, Percy could only dodge an inch to the right as the flaming wheel only slightly grazed his cheek, giving him a burn mark as it missed his head overall.

However, Percy was still fine overall, and the wheel seemed to have missed its mark. Although lost for words, Percy stared into Ronan’s eyes with a defiant glare!

“You have missed, brother,” he said, his tone not containing the same arrogance that it did just two minutes ago. He now felt mortal danger while facing Ronan’s Flaming Lightning wheel, which was a move that easily surpassed his best move by miles.

Had Ronan’s aim been better, he would have undoubtedly been critically injured and this match would most likely be his defeat. However, that was not the case right now, and since Ronan had missed his attack, it was his turn to counter.

Percy started the chant for fire dash, but mid-way through his chant, he caught a glimpse of a smiling Ronan Draco who had charged towards him instead._.

It seemed as if Ronan had prepared his lightning fist and was coming for a head-on collision to send Percy flying, which left him scrambling over what to do next.

He was already mid-way through chanting the fire dash spell, and immediately changing to the fire fist was not possible in the time Ronan would land his attack. Hence, all he could do was brace for impact.

Continuing his chant for fire dash, Percy braced for impact to take Ronan’s lightning fist head-on!

However, shockingly, when Ronan came within striking distance, he did not attack but instead slid right by Percy as he ran with his top speed towards the centre of the arena.

Percy was stupefied. However, a shocking scene occurred when he turned , it was then that it dawned on him that his brother had completely played him, and that he had never truly missed his Flaming Lightning Wheel attack!

Percy was stupid to think that the target of the Flaming Lightning Wheel was him, when in reality, it was the martial arena itself!

Ronan’s real purpose was to split the martial arena in half!

The entire floor where he was standing started to break off from the levitation array as it started to enter a freefall.

Ronan’s Flaming Lightning wheel had cut the entire martial arena into two pieces!

Screams and cheers could be clearly heard from the crowd when the reality sunk in on them that Ronan Draco had split the entire arena in half with the intention to eliminate Percy Draco!

Standing with his arms folded on the other half of the martial stage, Ronan eyed Percy as he saw his elder brother’s fall. However, he knew that it was not going to be over so easily and that he needed to see it all the way through, should he want to defeat his elder brother.

The half of the arena where Percy was started to tilt as it fell down with the inclination increasing every second.

Although the entire arena was falling down, Percy had completed the chant for fire dash and started a 60° incline climb towards Ronan’s safe peak at his maximum speed.

The entire audience had long been on its feet. Watching this battle, as now they were simply losing their minds , as the capability of the two competing in this fight had far surpassed what the academy could offer with any other student of any grade and of any time period.

Not even the strongest house captains had absolute confidence in defeating any of the two in a one-on-one fight. Even they had to admit that both the Draco boys were in a league of their own, despite being only first and second-year students.

The future was undoubtedly limitless for both of them. However, that was even more true for the smaller one, Ronan, whose talents left even the principal gasping for air.

“COME ON, RONAN! DON’T LET HIM CLIMB BACK UP! USE YOUR LIGHTNING AND BLAST HIM DOWN THE ELIMINATION LINE!” Captain Yami roared with all he had as he watched on with vigor now.

The hope of victory he had once lost now came back to him as he felt every cell in his body fill with adrenaline to the brim!

“Agghhhhh!” Ronan screamed as he tried his best to summon all the lightning that he could, but the reality of the situation was that following the A-ranked move, mobilizing even the slightest elemental essence felt like moving a heavy load as he felt his mana circuit behaving like a blocked drain rather than a free-flowing river.

Ronan’s body had run out of its natural elemental reserves and could now only rely on the little essence that his dantian could convert from the world’s mana to replenish his empty tank . Hence, the problem of mobilizing elemental essence through his clogged-up mana circuit felt even more difficult .

The more Ronan tried to mobilize his elemental essence, greater the load he placed on Oogway’s life seal. Filtering his destructive golden thunder with his life essence, the filter lost a lot of its potency much earlier than Oogway anticipated as Ronan Draco managed to master an A-ranked spell in 3 months’ time, absolutely defying any boundaries of common sense in the process.

Through sheer will, Ronan prepared his final attack to seal the deal for his victory as he used the 5-thunder strike to bring down five bolts of lightning in Percy’s path.

BAM!

Percy evaded the first thunder strike by jumping to the left, but dodging and changing direction made his speed drop as he was hard pressed to avoid the bolt number two.

BAM!

The second bolt barely missed Percy’s head by a hair’s breath. Despite accelerating on a 70° inclined surface, Percy managed to avoid getting caught in the attack as it went over his head, missing due to him changing his pace.

BAM!

The third bolt forced Percy to come to a screeching halt at the very edge of the falling martial arena as he teetered at the edge, having lost all the momentum he had built in the run.

BAM!

Things looked grim for Percy as he was a sitting duck. However, shockingly, the attack missed its mark!

Percy was not one to give up. He shot out a burst of flames from his hands, using fire as a propellant to launch himself at the last critical moment towards Ronan’s side of the arena!

Mid-air, the brothers had a moment where their eyes met. Ronan mouthed, ‘Sorry, I don’t miss!’ with a smile to Percy.

BAM!

With nowhere to change direction, Percy was finally caught by the fifth lightning strike, right in the dead-centre of his chest!

“GOT HIM!” exclaimed Captain Yami. He was elated beyond reason, for it finally seemed like victory was theirs.

The red house erupted in cheers as everyone realized that Ronan had finally won the match. The red house students hugged and cried at the heroic performance of their first-year prodigy.

“Hahahahaha, they called me crazy when I spent all my points trying to get this one kid. Who is crazy now?” the red house master was laughing heartily as she was beyond impressed with Ronan. Meanwhile, the green house master held her head between her arms as she tried to stomach the tragic defeat.

Ronan fell flat on his back as exhaustion finally caught up to him, as he gave a satisfied smile to the clouds above.

However, no matter how much time passed, the principal did not declare a winner. Two minutes later, the Karma house students noticed that Percy had not teleported to the stands.

Murmur and chatter started as everyone frantically tried to look for the whereabouts of Percy Draco.

“He is not dead, is he?” someone questioned, as the crowd started to fear for the worst. However, it was then that a blue house student spotted Percy.

“Look! He is hanging on the bottom of the martial arena. Percy is not yet eliminated!”

This shout created unprecedented waves of noise among the crowd as everyone tried to get a glance of Percy’s condition.

With a five-inch scar on his chest and blood pouring from his mouth, torso, cheeks, and arms, Percy Draco was climbing back towards the martial arena by punching holes in solid concrete, making a footing for himself one step at a time.

He hadn’t yielded yet.

“JUST FALL, DAMN IT!” Yami was livid. He could not believe that even after all that beating, Percy was still trying to make his way back. He felt his heart break at the sight of the determined Draco.

“RONAN!! GET YOUR A** BACK UP! THIS IS NOT OVER YET! PERCY HAS NOT BEEN ELIMINATED!” Yami warned Ronan frantically. Disbelief, panic, and horror could be seen on his face.

‘Is brother unbeatable?’ a question arose in Ronan’s heart as he rose to his feet one more time!

The winner had not yet been decided.
