The referee climbed onto the platform, his amplified voice echoed through the entire amphitheater and the fifty thousand spectators fell silent, he raised his arms and shouted “ONLY BLACK BLADE, MITO TOKYO, SPEAR, LIGHTNING, RAIDER, DRAGON, GRIFFIN, RAMBO, PHOENIX, AND SPECTER REMAIN!
YOU ARE THE LAST 10 CANDIDATES OF THIS TOURNAMENT!” The crowd’s screams exploded, they were sitting, standing, waving their hands, some crying with excitement, others shouting the name of their favorite champion, “NOW LISTEN CAREFULLY!” the referee continued, “5 OF YOU WILL WIN AND BECOME GUARDS, AND 5 WILL LOSE AND BE ELIMINATED!”
He unrolled a scroll and read the names aloud, “HERE IS THE FINAL DUEL BRACKET: BLACK BLADE VS SPEAR!
PHOENIX VS SPECTER!
RAMBO VS MITO!
RAIDER VS GRIFFIN!
LIGHTNING VS DRAGON!”, the crowd roared with joy upon hearing the names, “LET THE FIRST DUEL BEGIN!”, Black Blade and Spear descended into the arena, Spear was tall and thin, he held a long spear in his hands, Black Blade was shorter but had piercing eyes, he held two black blades, the gong sounded and Spear attacked first, he charged at Black Blade with his spear, but Black Blade dodged and slid under his arm, in one fluid motion, he plunged his blade into Spear’s side, the spear fell, Spear collapsed, “WINNER: BLACK BLADE!”
The second duel began, Phoenix against Specter, Phoenix was a seven-year-old child, the youngest candidate in the tournament, people laughed when they saw him, but Phoenix had already won his first two fights through strategy, not strength, Specter was taller and stronger, he turned invisible at the start of the fight, Phoenix closed his eyes and listened, he felt the wind move behind him and he turned around, he threw a kick, Specter appeared as he fell, Phoenix punched him in the back of the neck, Specter collapsed, “WINNER: PHOENIX!”, the crowd was on fire, this seven-year-old child had just beaten an adult.
The third duel, Lightning against Dragon, Lightning was a forty-nine-year-old man, older than all the candidates, he had a scar across his face, he had survived hundreds of fights, Dragon breathed flames like a true demon, but Lightning dodged every attack, he waited for Dragon to tire then he charged at him, a punch to the stomach, a kick to the head, Dragon fell, Lightning raised his fists in the air, “WINNER: LIGHTNING!”, the Princess on her balcony was impressed, she leaned forward “they’re strong…” she murmured.
The fourth duel, Raider against Griffin, Griffin was a former gladiator, a colossus with enormous muscles, but Raider was too fast, he dodged every punch from Griffin and struck his knees, the giant collapsed, Raider landed one last blow and the referee raised his hand “WINNER: RAIDER!”
Finally, the last duel of the first round arrived, Rambo against Mito, Rambo was trembling as he descended into the arena, he looked at his brother, Raider was in the stands, he leaned forward and shouted “little brother! Follow the newest chapters on g.com.
I believe in you!
remember everything we did together!
we trained day and night!
you have the right to win!
have confidence in yourself!”, Rambo heard his brother’s voice, he took a deep breath and descended, Mito was already there, hands in his pockets, his cold and empty gaze.
The referee raised his hand “LET THE FIGHT BEGIN!”, the gong sounded and Rambo stepped toward his opponent, he threw a right punch, Mito blocked it with the back of his hand, Rambo followed with a kick, Mito dodged by stepping back, Rambo attacked again, a left hook, an uppercut, a knee strike, Mito dodged, blocked, stepped back, Rambo hit him once on the shoulder, Mito fell to his knee, the crowd roared, Rambo had hit Mito.
Mito stood up slowly, he looked at Rambo with an even colder gaze than before, he said nothing, he showed nothing, just an empty look, Rambo felt uneasy but he continued to attack, he threw a series of punches, Mito dodged them all, then he spoke, his voice calm and cold, “before saying something, you must think a thousand times.”, Rambo didn’t understand what that meant, he attacked again, but Mito moved faster than light, he struck Rambo ten times in four seconds, CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK, every hit hurt, every hit was precise, Rambo fell to the ground, the crowd shouted, he got up, his knees trembling, he attacked again, Mito hit him, he fell, got up, fell, got up, six times he fell, six times he got up.
The crowd was silent now, they watched Rambo get beaten again and again, they saw his determination, they saw his tears, they saw his courage, Mito hit him again, Rambo fell to his knees, his breathing was short, his arms were numb, Mito looked down at him and said “why do you resist?
you can’t even stand!”, Rambo raised his head, his eyes burning with rage and pain, “if you don’t have the strength or determination of a warrior, it’s normal for you to ask me that” Rambo said, spitting blood, “but if you have the strength and determination of a warrior, it’s impossible for you to ask me that!”
Mito was silent for a moment, then he struck Rambo with such force that the young man flew backward, he fell on his back and didn’t move, the referee raised his hand “WINNER: MITO!”, Raider jumped up, he wanted to go down, but he saw Mito approach Rambo before the medics arrived, Mito leaned over Rambo’s body and said in a low voice “congratulations, you fought well, really well, that’s a warrior…”, Raider ran over and shoved Mito “get away from him!” he shouted, he hadn’t heard what Mito said to Rambo, he thought he was threatening him, the medics took Rambo and carried him out of the arena.
The referee climbed onto the platform and shouted “THE WINNERS ARE: MITO, PHOENIX, LIGHTNING, BLACK BLADE, AND RAIDER!
THEY ARE THE 5 WINNERS OF THE TOURNAMENT, BUT THE PRINCESS OF THE SIXTH KINGDOM WILL DECIDE WHO WILL BE THE 6TH GUARD!”
The Princess rose from her throne, she slowly descended the stairs and approached the edge of the balcony, the crowd fell silent, she looked at the five winners, then she looked at the losers, her gaze stopped on Rambo who was being treated by the medics, she looked at him for a long time, then she turned to Raider, “Raider from Kisolo” she said, “yes, Your Highness?” Raider replied, “Rambo is your brother?” she asked, “yes, Your Highness” Raider replied, the Princess nodded “I will ask the people to choose among the winners who will face each other in a final duel, if you win this duel, Rambo will be accepted as the 6th guard and you will become the leader of the guards, but if you lose, Rambo will not be accepted and the other fighter will become the leader of the guards, do you accept this condition?” New chapters come out on g.com first.
Raider looked at his brother, Rambo was lying on a stretcher, he was in pain, he was tired, but his eyes were open and they were looking at Raider, he nodded, “yes, Your Highness, I accept” Raider said, the Princess smiled “then let the people decide!”, she turned to the crowd and shouted “WHO WANTS TO SEE MITO FIGHT RAIDER?!”, the people screamed “MITO!
MITO!
MITO!”, Mito’s voice echoed through the entire amphitheater, “WHO WANTS TO SEE RAIDER FIGHT MITO?!”, the people screamed again “RAIDER!
RAIDER!
RAIDER!” but Mito’s voice was louder, more powerful, the Princess raised her arms “THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN!
THE FINAL DUEL WILL BE RAIDER AGAINST MITO!”
