Chapter 972 The Colisseum Of The Earth Dragons!
-----
An enormous crowd of not only earth dragons but other elemental dragons surrounded all of us. Their cheers seemed excited. An event that seemingly only happened with the Earth Dragon Progenitor and her obsession with a good "show" was happening right now. According to my mother, this was something she often did sporadically, mostly to amuse the dragons here, who constantly grow tired and bored of a life as souls.
I found myself standing in the middle of that arena, with Benladann and my father to boot. They were just as flabbergasted as I was, if not even more than me. The cheers of the dragons, or more like their euphoric groans celebrated, as the head of the enormous Jotun emerged from outside the arena, her enormous neck stretching like a snake and even twisting itself without problems to see the entire arena at full view.
At each side of her, there was Nifl, my mother, and Svartalf, my grandmother, both were facepalming. It was clear they were quite tired of their sister's shenanigans.
"Everybody! It is beginning! At long last!"
"WOOOO!"
"Here it is…!"
"YEAAAH!"
"The greatest…!"
"WOOOOO!!!"
"And most amazing…!"
"LET'S GOOO!"
"DRAGON COLOSSEUM TOURNAMENT!"
"OOOOOOOOHHHHHH!!!"
The cheers of hundreds of dragons cheered the ambience was getting more and more heated. I could feel my heart beating faster and faster. This was getting out of hand reaaaaally quickly.
"What the fuck is going on?!" I asked angrily. "Not only was I thrown here, but you're asking me to fight now?!"
"Hahahaha! Looks like we got a newbie here!" Laughed Jotun, the other dragons all laughed at what she said.
"Should we explain the newbie the rules, my fellow dragons?" She asked.
"WOOOOOOO!"
"Dragon King or not he's gonna get his ass beaten!"
"FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!"
"Oh man, I've been so bored lately! Finally some good ol' fighting!"
"I love Colosseum time with auntie Jotun!"
The crowd was unexplainably happy. Apparently, this whole event was a tradition of the dragons inside the Draconic Records that has been going for a long time… like thousands of years!
"Well, well, let's amuse this little "Dragon King"…" Laughed Jotun. "The Rules are simple dear! It is an all you can fight three versus three battle!"
The crowd continued to cheer for her.
"One of the first rules is… No escaping!" She said, the crowd cheered.
"Don't run away even when you're going to get killed kid!"
"Don't be a pussy!"
"Let's see some blood!"
"Hmph, of course I am not going to run away. Whatever shit you throw at me, I am going to beat the crap out of them." I said furiously.
"Heh! He got guts!" Laughed Jotun, the crowd cheered once more. "Anyways! Rule number two, and the most important…!"
Suddenly, the crowd synchronized with her to say it at the same time.
"NO DIVINITY!"
TRUUUMMM!
The entire colosseum trembled once more.
"W-Wha? I can't use my divinityr?" I asked.
"HAHAHAHA! You can use Dragon Powers only. Your breath, your claws, your tail, and your sheer physical strength! But no Divinities or anything tricky here! You can use innate body abilities, and Mortal Level Magic at most! If you break the rules… you instantly lose!"
"WOOOO!"
"AHAHAHA!"
"YOU BETTER NOT GET COLD FEET NOW!"
The crowd laughed at this ridiculous rule. How come we can't use Divine Power when it is part of our very existences as Divine Dragons?
"Well, to be more specific, don't use Divine Abilities or Divinities, got it? Usually they always give such an awful advantage… It is annoying! We want some more fun fights, you see…" She said with a smile.
"Fine… We'll beat them with our own strength then…" I sighed. "But what about this?! I thought I was the one fighting! Why do you get my wife and my father involved in this?!"
"Well if you fight alone you're going to get beaten to a pulp, these fights are more interesting if we do three versus three after all!" Laughed Jotun.
"Fine! Bring it on then!" Benladann said, cracking her knuckles. "Not like I haven't been fighting without divine power until just recently, I can do this! Chaos Magic is fine right? What about Unique Skills?"
"Unique Skills? That's something new…" Jotun said. "Well, whatever, just because you're newbies, you can!" Laughed Jotun, the crowd seemed to be fine with it, and were hasty about the fight starting.
"JUST START ALREADY!"
"FIGHT! FIGHT!"
"BRING THE EARTH DRAGONS!"
"THE CHAMPIONS!"
Jotun laughed at the crowd.
"Hahahaha! FINE!" She said with a laughter. Looking at me menacingly. "BRING THEM… MY STRONGEST KIDS!"
TRUUUUUMMMMMM…!
Suddenly, the entire Colosseum began to tremble!
CRAAASH!
From the ground itself, one figure emerged, as if he had dug through his own mother's shell to come here. It was an enormous giant, twice as big as all of us, easily surpassing a hundred meters. His enormous body was not turtle-like, he looked like a dinosaur.
A big, armored dinosaur with an enormous mace at his tail, his arms were rugged, with enormous blades made of ore that grew over them, and his entire back was covered on deadly spikes. His head was hard and shaped like a helmet, and he lacked an eye, while looking at us with his only red eye.
The crowd went crazy when they saw him.
"I-It's him!"
"After a while he's finally back…"
"That's the veteran, isn't he?"
"HAHAHAHA! Here it is! After a long break from fighting, one of my oldest children is finally back… the Veteran and "Shredder" Boulder!"
"OOOOOOOOHHH!"
Boulder slowly walked forward, raising his enormous claws, and smiling at the crowd. And then, he looked back at us with a defiant and menacing glare.
"So these are the kids… Nice to meet you. I am Boulder. Don't hold back, or you're going to regret it." He said defiantly. His enormous body size and physical strength and defense left it clear he was not something I could take with a few punches.
And there were two more coming…
CLAAAASH!
Suddenly, a figure fell from the sky.
And this one was just as big as Boulder…
