Chapter 699 Chad's Duel ( Part 4 )

??'It looks great, but I can't use it… I guess I can give this as a gift to someone else. Or probably exchange it for something useful in Manager Faith's Treasury.' Chad thought for a moment as he recalled the vast number of treasures in Manager Faith's collection.

It was a treasure trove.

According to Manager Faith, it was all taken from the Treasury of the Vermont Academy. Apparently, when the Academy was on the verge of destruction, she had been tasked to take away all valuable items in the Treasury and make sure that they would not fall into the wrong hands. After that, she must return them once they have rebuilt the Academy.

'Vale isn't going to rebuild the Academy any time soon. It shouldn't be a big deal if I exchange some of the treasures there.' Chad thought as he felt a warm and gentle aura from the necklace.

He realized that it was also subtly revitalizing his current physical condition.

"I'll take it… Thank you…" Chad said as he returned to the center of the field to wait for his next duel. Of course, he maintained his current Dragonoid Form.

After a few seconds, Vale decided to call Sir Roland of the Order of the Faith Guardians.

Sir Roland was the representative of the Order of the Faith Guardians, a group of devout warriors under the Knights Faction.

Of course, all members of this Order were at least First-Class Magic Knights; no member of this organization could be underestimated.

Sir Roland was a handsome and noble man with blond hair and blue eyes. He was completely different from the veteran look of Sir Geoffrey, who even had a scar on his face.

Nonetheless, Sir Roland still looked experienced and powerful. He wore white armor and a small shield with the emblem of the Faith Guardians on his back,

He introduced himself as the captain of the First Squad of the Order of the Faith Guardians. This was quite impressive since they all knew that the First Squad consisted of the best Magic Knights of the Order.

Shiiinng~

Rolan then held his sword to his right and shield to his left.

As soon as he did this, a calm flow of energy started emitting out of his body. It wasn't violent or threatening, but the calmness and steadiness of his energy were justly intimidating in a certain way.

He was a true Magic Knight and everyone could sense it.

Chad, in his Dragonoid Form, could tell that this person was stronger than Sir Geoffrey.

Nonetheless, he still decided to use his gauntlet, which had morphed into a dragon's claw, to fight against him...

"Don't hold back, Half-Dragon! Show me everything you got!" Roland shouted.

"Fine!"

The battle began with Chad charging at the Magic Knight. Similar to how Chad started his battle against Sir Geoffrey, he also aimed to gauge the strength of his opponent.

Bang!

Chad swung his draconic claw gauntlet, aiming to slash Sir Roland's chest. It was incredibly fast but it wasn't too powerful.

Sir Roland blocked with his sword, parrying Chad's attack… However, Chad didn't stop as he suddenly used his fire breath, spitting flames at Sir Roland.

Whoosshh~

The fire breath could melt a metal but the Magic Knight wasn't afraid.

Sir Roland used his Arcane Shield, creating a barrier of energy and resisting Chad's fire breath. He did this in the nick of time!

'That's dangerous! Breathing fire so suddenly… Are you serious?!' Roland was a bit flustered by that Fire Breath. It was so sudden, and it was too close!

He was lucky that he was used to dealing with Elementalists and managed to react in time.

"Good!" Chad smiled as he thought that he would surprise the Magic Knight.

The two fighters continued to clash, using their weapons and their spells.

After a few exchanges, the intensity of Sir Roland's attacks increased.

Chad used his scales, covering his body with a layer of armor and reducing the damage from Sir Roland's sword.

This time, Sir Roland finally showed the difference between an Aura Master and a Magic Knight.

As soon as Roland got an opportunity, he released his own version of an elemental spell, launching a ball of fire at Chad and trying to burn him.

However, Chad spread his draconic wings, flapping them and creating a gust of wind and blowing away Sir Roland's fireball!

This use of wings mesmerized the audience… It made them fully realize that Roland's opponent was not a human but a mystical creature.

This kind of exchange continued for some time as they tested each other's strengths and weaknesses, looking for an opening and an advantage.

However, both of them were being too careful, and they weren't showing any form of defense.

Chad used his speed, dashing around the field and trying to catch Sir Roland off guard.

On the other hand, Sir Roland used his Flame Dash Spell, which seemed like a short teleportation spell.

Sir Roland was able to keep up with Chad, disappearing and reappearing in different locations and trying to confuse Chad!

Nonetheless, they couldn't continue like this. They do not have unlimited energy, so they have to end this before that could happen!

Chad pushed the limit of his agility, leaping over Sir Roland's attacks and trying to land a hit with his gauntlet.

However, although this move confused Sir Roland for a moment, it wasn't enough for him to be unable to dodge. He immediately rolled under Chad's attacks and tried to counter.

Bang!

The two fighters clashed their weapons once again, backed with speed and their energy, creating sparks and shockwaves.

"Again!" Roland shouted…

"Come!" Chad replied as his gauntlet, and Sir Roland's sword collided, producing a loud sound and a bright light.

Chad followed with his fire breath, and Sir Roland didn't even bother to defend himselfand decided to use his Echo Burst, producing a layered shockwave.

The clash created an explosion and a cloud of smoke.

Crack!

At this time, both the gauntlet and the sword started having cracks before shattering completely!

The force behind their strikes was no joke!

Since Roland's sword was broken, and Chad's gauntlet was also in a terrible condition. They decided to put away their other weapons.

Roland threw away his small shield while Chad removed his gauntlet.

As soon as they did this, they immediately pounced at each other!

Chad's scales and Sir Roland's force field collided, producing a strong impact and another wave of force.

"Great! This is it! As expected of a Half Dragon!"

"Haha! I'm not even half of your age and you're already struggling! Don't be so happy!"

The two fighters fought with honor and respect, admiring each other's abilities and spirit. They pushed themselves to the limit, and soon they unleashed their final attacks.

Chad's unleashed a blast of fire, lightning, and wind, aiming to incinerate Sir Roland!

Sir Roland, on the other hand, had to keep up with Chad's sudden burst of elemental spells!

It appears that as a Half-Dragon, he inherited their ability to control the elements.

Roland had to use his Echo Burst a couple more times while using his Flame Dash Spell to ensure that it would be difficult to hit him. Lastly, he used his hand like a sword and tried to cut Chad's arm!

Bang!

***

In the meantime, as the battle reached its peak, the others couldn't help but feel amazed.

"Is he a Dragonoid who transformed into a human, or is it the opposite? I'm wondering how he could last so much in his Dragonoid Transformation." Lady Elara, Sir Roland's companion, couldn't help but feel worried.

"It must be the first one. It's unfortunate, but Sir Roland will lose here. I'm sure he was planning to wait for Chad to revert back to his original form, but that's a mistake." Lady Isolde, Sir Geoffrey's companion, added.

"He's a Magic Knight… He's the best when fighting with his squad or legion. However, he's fighting alone right now, so it is not surprising if he loses." Cane from the Shadow Consortium added.

Nonetheless, the others watched the duel with interest and excitement.

At this time, some of them even became Chad's supporters. They cheered for their favorite while they appreciated the unfolding battle.

They were all impressed by Chad and Sir Roland's performance and wondered who would win and who would lose.

***

Bang!

Chad and Roland collided once again, but this time, it had truly exhausted most of their energy.

In terms of battle techniques, Roland was slightly better, but Chad had more energy and tough defense. Even if he was directly hit by most attacks, he would easily endure them!

Well, he was used to the attacks of an Immortal, so this pain wasn't enough to bring him down!

At their final clash, they both felt a surge of pain as their energy was passed into each other's bodies.

They were both thrown away, but they managed to get back on their feet.

Unfortunately, the surge of Draconic Aura entering Sir Roland's body made him fall to the ground!

'Whew~ Breaking that Arcane Aura and steady Arcane Energy is just too tough…' Chad commented in his mind as he knew that this battle wasn't easy at all.

He was simply lucky that he managed to break Roland's sword. After all, he could tell that if Roland were wielding a sword throughout the battle, he would slowly accumulate injuries until he was defeated.

Nonetheless, the duel ended, and the crowd was silent… The winner was decided!

'How did he turn into this?'

At this time, Maya was starting to think of removing her disguise just to ask Chad some questions!
