Creation System: Reborn As A Fantasy Worldsmith

Chapter 233 Godfrey Drake's Powerful Dragon

"Now that the formalities are out of the way, shall we get started with the events planned for today?" Julius inquired to the crowd, receiving a resounding cheer of accepting noises.

At this moment, Lyrian noticed that the food began to get loaded onto the trollies. Soon enough, the maids were pushing the trollies to the different tables.

'Finally!' He rejoiced inwardly. He was already feeling a bit odd in his stomach, near where his core was. He imagined this to be because he had no food in a while.

After the event in the Ancient Library and all that, Lyrian knew that his body had taken quite a toll. He wanted to get food as fast as possible but also wanted to wait till he could eat the delicious delicacies served at the banquet.

Finally, his waiting had paid off. While he waited in anticipation for his food to eventually come, Julius continued his speech.

"Firstly, we will hold a show for everyone to see. One which involves the three Most Valuable Persons of this year's entrance exams!"

Another cheer erupted from the crowd as Julius said this. Lyrian wasn't so amused by it though.

"Huh?" He said, confused. "I want to eat first..." He spoke quietly.

"This show will be one of magic, one in which each of the MVPs will have to try and impress the crowd as much as possible."

On hearing Julius' words, both Linus and Godfrey gave their full attention to Julius. Linus stared at him with a calm expression, as Godfrey crossed his arms and spread his legs while sitting, looking at Julius with a stoic expression, which was common for him.

"But, don't worry, MVPs. There is something in this for you as well. In the end, the one who impresses the crowd the most will get a hidden prize! After this small contest, we will continue to our final event of the day; an auction!"

Lyrian's thoughts were muffled by another cheer from the crowd. 'What a hassle... but the prize does sound quite enticing. And an auction, huh? That would be beneficial. Anyways...'

Lyrian gazed at the trolley that was slowly nearing his table. His mouth started to salivate as it arrived next to him, wafting delicious aromas in the air.

Finally, the maid laid the food out on the table, as Lyrian put a napkin in his collar, grabbed a fork and knife, and licked his lips to begin eating.

"Now, will the three MVPs please make their way to the stage!" Julius suddenly announced, just as Lyrian was about to take his first bite of the food.

"Ahhh-- what?" Lyrian put his fork down. "I don't want to rush..." He said. It was true... he liked to enjoy his meals. He was the first to stand up and make his way toward the stage.

Seconds after, both Godfrey and Linus were quick to follow him. Lyrian had both hands in his pocket, walking with a carefree strut as he made his way to the stage. As all three neared the stage, a round of applause reverberated through the hall.

As they got onto the stage and lined up beside each other, the applause stopped, and Julius turned around to face them.

"The stage is yours..." He said before hopping off.

Lyrian looked at the other two. 'They will probably want to go later to see their competition first. It would only be logical.' He thought to himself.

"I will begin!" Godfrey suddenly announced, stepping forward. Lyrian was slightly surprised to hear this.

'Oh? He's confident.'

At this moment, Lyrian scanned the room, looking at the several figures present. On one side of the room were important-looking people. They might have even been executives of sorts. On the other, Lyrian noticed a familiar, yet undesirable face.

'Israthel...' He said inwardly, looking at the boy who had a bright smile on his face.

'He... probably thinks I didn't notice the poison that was clearly on the outside of the fizzy drink. Cheh!' Lyrian scoffed, returning Israthel's grin with a cheeky smirk of his own.

Suddenly, Israthel stopped smiling. He clenched his teeth as he stared furiously at Lyrian. 'Bastard... he doesn't know what's coming to him.'

On stepping forward, Godfrey raised one fist in the air. Before long, a black scale quickly began to envelop his arm. In seconds, a wing grew out from the left side of his body, leaving everyone shocked.

The wing was clearly of some sort of dragon or wyvern. It was as large as Godfrey's body. This alone brought a whisper of surprised gasps within the crowd. A body transformation of this scale was not easy to complete, especially not of a powerful creature such as a dragon.

After this, Godfrey pulled his other hand out in front of him and conjured two different types of magic above his palm. The crowd watched in awe as the balls of earth and fire quickly revolved around each other in his palm.

Finally, he infused his giant wing with the two elements, causing it to inherit streaks of greenery, and also blazes of fire. The sight was magnificent to behold. To end his display, Godfrey used his wing to create a powerful yet undisturbing gust of wind that met the presence of all those present.

A delicate and colorful rain of fire and earth floated around in the air for a few moments before suddenly forming into a giant dragon which enveloped the room. It's presence seemed to be real, and mesmerized the crowd for a moment before finally calming down into nothing. After a short pause, the entire crowd erupted in applause.

Godfrey stepped back, a light smirk on his face. He seemed to be proud of his showcase.

"From a mastered dragon transformation, to the showcase of two entirely different element affinities, to finally, a representation of his skill in controlling both aspects of his show! A powerful display indeed from the Prince Of Veridrake!" Julius announced, his voice filled with excitement.

Lyrian's table was also very impressed with the display. Leon was taken aback by the pure control that Godfrey had over his powers.

'To control his elements to such a degree that it caused harm, even though it was spread throughout the entire room. He is definitely skilled...'
