Chapter 545 - The Emperor's Children Part 2

After Kiara's victory, the other heroes were also starting to get a bit tired. Under normal circumstances, they could've fought against a thousand of these kids without breaking a sweat. Yet, because of the power suppressors, it became rather difficult as they were deprived of their spiritual power. Their bodies weren't accustomed to such a restriction.

Yet even when they were pretty much exhausted they still won most of the battles. Currently, there were only three people that had passed the preliminaries. There was, of course, John who had that hard-fought victory. Then there was Kiara who had fought the same opponent but won with a bit more ease. Then the last was Tyr that came from the same region as John.

The preliminaries raged on and the defeated participants were still unconscious, even the first victor, John was still unconscious. Another child of the Emperor took the stage, this time it was the eldest of Emperor's children.

"Oh here comes another of the Emperor's children. He might look a bit average on the outside but do not be fooled as he is the one most widely known as the most powerful of the children. Everyone here stands Nero the son of the Grand Mage Henrietta."

Nero sighed internally as he was aware the way he looked was indeed pretty average compared to his unimaginably good-looking siblings and cousins. Still, as the eldest who was already thirteen years old this year, he showed that he was unconcerned by such trivialities.

"So Nero who do you wish to fight?"

"As the eldest son of the Proud and Powerful Emperor who else should I face other than the most powerful of the Heroes, that's what I would usually say, but today." Nero looked at the exhausted heroes and sighed.

"I wish to fight Lady Xia but not as she is now. Can you please allow her to fight me at full strength without any restrictions?"

When Nero uttered those words everyone was stunned into silence. Even Xia was momentarily stunned but then chuckled. After the initial silence, the audience started buzzing like bees.

"What is the kid thinking? Wasn't it rumored that Lady Xia was at the same level as the wives of the Emperor, is he saying that he's already at that level?"

"The kid's got balls I'll give him that."

"There's always someone like him every year, that one guy that thinks he's already one of the strongest."

"Yeah does this child think he's the Emperor himself?"

As everyone continued to talk to each other, Julia looked at Valdel who was also watching at the side. Valdel noticed Julia's gaze and made a gesture telling her that the decision is hers to make.

"Fine, I will allow it, but do not blame me if you die here today. Well, even if you did die neither your mother nor father would blame me or lady Xia for your death. I'm pretty sure you know what they would say."

"If died today they would say that my death is my own doing, that it's because of my own weakness that I died."

"Even knowing that do you still wish to continue?"

"I'm the eldest son of the strongest being in this world, how can I back down because of a little thing like death."

When his siblings and cousins heard what their eldest brother had to say they felt a burning desire to fight even more boldly than before. As the child of the Strongest being in this world, they were somehow deep inside afraid of the mere notion of defeat, as that would stain the honor of their powerful father. Yet they had forgotten about what their father truly wanted of them, to face everything without fear.

"So what do you think Lady Xia are you willing?"

Xia looked at Nero and spoke to him first.

"Little Emperor of Magic, that's what they call you in all the Mage towers on this planet."

"A nickname I don't really deserve as dealing with spells is just a hobby of mine."

"Heh, as arrogant and domineering as your father… It would seem that you and your siblings are going to keep on fighting me for the entirety of these preliminaries."

"I apologize in advance… In truth, I would've wanted to do it the same way as my father did back then."

"Oh, so you wished to face all of us summoned heroes. Now, why would you want to do that? Is it because you want to follow in your father's footsteps, or is it something else?"

"It's nothing like that, it just seems interesting to me."

"I see…" Xia then looked at Julia and finally responded to the earlier question. "It's alright, let's begin the fight without any restrictions."

"Since the two have made their choice," Julia approached Xia and took off her power suppressor. Xia felt the entirety of her mana flowing back into her. She then quickly summoned all of her twelve chakrams. This time she wasn't spinning them on her fingers, the twelve chakrams were floating around her and spinning on their own.

When Nero saw this he could not help but smile the same smile his father usually shows when he gets excited. Nero removed the cloak he was wearing showing everyone what was underneath. Nero was carrying dozen of potions on his body and at his waist were the newly developed weapons they called spell guns. It was very small compared to the mana cannons and had a weaker output, but these things were more versatile in their use.

Seeing the two of them taking out their weapons in such high spirits, Julia could only sigh. "As lady Xia has agreed and is about to use her full power, all the other matches shall be put on hold for now and every participant should stay back into the corner over there."

Julia pointed at the side were Valdel was standing. The participants were a little confused as to why they needed to do this, but they complied. Once they were at the corner Julia gave out a signal and a barrier surrounded the audience and the participants.

"Alright, now that preparations are done, the two of you can go all out. Now everyone let's bear witness if the Young Emperor of spells can overcome the full might of Lady Xia the eternal!"
