Chapter 548 It starts
Duncan was frozen in shock at Lenny's power an audacity.
Governor momoa was not a noble demon, but his position as governor provided him with certain rights and privileges that he extended to his children.
Therefore, they had all grown up with the knowledge and mannerism of a typical aristocrat.
And in the eyes of a noble, everything that was neither noble nor Royal was straight up trash, much worse if it was a slave or a used to be slave. This was as Trash like as it got.
Lenny fell in the latter category. As a former gladiator, he was naturally deemed to be a slave and therefore, he was trash. The mere fact that he had touched Duncan's Darkline ,magic roused his anger.
"How dare you?" Duncan waved his hand and lenny saw it properly. Cosmic energy crackled in the air like thunder as it was forced to twist and mold with darkline magic, creating a Whip that rushed for lenny's face.
Lenny frowned as he activated his magic. His hands suddenly glowed with bright white flames that suddenly enveloped him and Victor.
The moment Lenny's flames made their entrance, the temperature suddenly spiked.
He did not even need to attack and the walls of the room, although made or rocks and not metal, started to melt.
Yet, surprisingly, Victor did not feel the sudden wash of heat assault him. for him, it was simply warm, like a blanket in the cold, but for Duncan, it was like he had touched a blazing stove with bare hands.
Both of them, their magic sizzled as it kissed harshly one to another. Causing a sudden pressure in the air, that directly blew off the wall on the side.
The sudden explosion was loud, making even those in the arena to worry as to what was going on.
Nevertheless, Duncan's frown was etched with a mixture of surprise and worry, "how the f*ck did he get so strong?" he thought to himself.
Although, it was true that Lenny had spent days to years in the subplane as a result of time difference, nevertheless. It was not enough for him to have become this strong.
For a slight second, another possibility raised his head in Duncan's heart, and he looked at Lenny weirdly.
The moment the thought rose in his head, he thought of proving himself wrong and wanted to attack again, however, a well known voice stopped his thoughts from fruitition.
"Duncan!" Both lenny and Duncan turned in that direction.
It was Elder Isiah.
"What in the name of the primordial beast do you think that you are doing?"
Duncan's usual playful smile suddenly appeared on his face like a comfortable mask. making lenny realized that truly, this demon had never been on his side at all.
Duncan smiled at the elder as his Darkline magic instantly disappeared. "Forgive me, I couldn't resist but check by myself. I really just wanted to know how strong he had become after coming back from that dreadful hell hole!"
Elder Isiah nodded, but he still stepped forward, the look in his eyes on Duncan and Lenny was one of suspicion.
"Elder Isiah, I am most certain that lenny would win the Alpha Selection Tournament. You will have to find me a reward for my hard work you know!" Duncan chuckled at his own joke as he receded into the darkness.
Elder Isiah took another look at lenny and then the place that Duncan had disappeared into, "Are you okay?" he asked.
lenny nodded, "Never better!"
"Good, because the first match will be starting soon."
lenny nodded and followed after Elder Isiah. However, he could still feel Duncan's piercing gaze on his back.
Through different corners and passages, Lenny finally reached a room that was designated for him and victor to wait in.
They were required to wait in this place until it was theier turn to fight.
It was not too spacious but just comfortable, with drinks and food displayed on the table.
Lenny took his position on the comfortable sofa and so did victor.
Without any invitation, lenny began with the food.
He had been in Imperilment for a very long time, he had not had any proper meal that was not mutated meat, and even that had a very weird taste to it as a result of its mutation.
Lenny was very shameless with his meal.
However, a holographic screen suddenly appeared before their eyes.
This screen showed Imperilment.
This was where the final battle was to take place.
Elder Zod announced the start of the inevitable battle.
"This is the moment you have all been waiting for. The weak of heart and strength have all been weeded out, leaving only the strong and those with the promise to become Alpha of the Great Giant Shadow Werewolf pack.
For the sake of preserving great talent for the clan, the primordial Beast has decided to not take the life of those that lose as earlier observed. Nevertheless, the dicission to let one's opponent live rests in the hands of the winner at the end of the day.
Please remember that participants can fight along side their Fighters as fighters are to protect their participants.
In the likely hood that any of the other should die, the other will follow. This is the Great Giant Shadow Werewolf pack. We are a brotherhood, and the strength of any pack lies in its ability to foster good team work.
This exercise as such, promotes team work.
Please do your best."
As he said this, he waved his hand and a wave of blue magic made a paper appear in his hands. "The first match will commence immediately. Curtain Vs Ambrosia."
Once the match had been declared, Elder Zod cleared the fighting ground of his presence. He walked into the portal.
A little while later, the participants walked in.
Curtain stepped out of the portal and behind him, Riff followed.
Lenny's attention was suddenly pulled from the food to the stage...
