Harem Overlord

Chapter 151 The Blessed Ruler (3)(Chapter Preview)

"At night this place looked good but in the morning, I don't even know what to say." Kiana said as the four of them looked at the colorfully decorated buildings.

Banners with hand-sewn lightning bolts hung around every building they saw and shops were selling many different things.

There was a shop that was selling exclusive lightning bolt shaped candy and Kai actually went ahead and bought it.

"This kind of feels like the stuff normal people do." Watanabe said while putting another candy in her mouth.

Kai smiled at that as he suddenly turned around to see a huge crowd moving towards the buildings in distance.

The land of lightning didn't have a castle or a palace. It instead had numerous tall buildings side by side at the tallest one was occupied by the rule while important people got the other buildings.

"During the festival, the ruler displays his or her strength in a battle. A special arena is created for this and elves from all around the continent come to battle the ruler. Usually only a hundred participants are allowed to participate since the number exceeds thousand so it's first come first served. But since this year's ruler is so strong, I don't think many people will try to challenge her." Levina explained as the other three agreed with her words.

"Guess we will go ahead and take part in it." Kai said as he created an illusion around them and teleported them to the specially build arena.

The entire place was really unique. The arena floor was a huge glass cube made from shiny purple material that matched Kai's hair and eyes.

The spectators were all hovering in the air using their cultivation. Anyone flying above them had heaven while the people with low cultivation were sitting on stands that were made around the cube in a circular shape.

There were numerous desks placed all around the arena and an elf was sitting on every desk to sign up people for the competition.

A huge banner hung at the entrance of the arena which explained how the competition worked this time. Since the ruler was too powerful and nobody wanted to waste her time, the officials decided to host a tournament to choose the strongest elves to battle her.

The tournament was divided into four blocks and only the winners of each block will get to fight the ruler.

"It's would be a good fighting experience for you both. Let's enter the tournament." Kai said to Watanabe and Kiana as they nodded.

He then signed up all four of them for the competition. After a few minutes, the first banner was replaced with a banner that showed the participants.

Each group had eight participants and their names were written on the barrier. Kai was in block D while Levina was in block B. Watanabe and Kiana were both in block C as the tournament began.

(AN: To save some time for both of us, let's just skip to Watanabe and Kiana's battle since all of us already know that Kai and Levina would win effortlessly. )

,m Kai and Levina were standing a few meters away from the cube as the assembles crowd started whispering about them.

After all, both of them had defeated their opponents just a few moments after their matches had begun.

And they had done that without using any lightning-related moves. But Kai and Levina were more interested in Kiana and Watanabe's match.

The duo had each won their first match and were now facing each other in their second match. They examined each other with calm eyes as their split pupil eyes narrowed down to reach each other's next move.

Kiana suddenly jerked forward as white lightning raced across her legs to increase her speed. The crowd cheered for her as white lightning was a rare color of lightning that was mostly focused on precise attacks and speed.

Watanabe didn't have any OP powers nor did she have a special trait. But she had plenty of experience as she smiled at Kiana and suddenly conjured up a wall on her right just as Kiana's leg launched towards Watanabe's abdomen.

Kiana's eyes widened as she tried to stop herself but it was impossible since her lightning had boosted her speed.

Her leg crashed against Watanabe's lightning barrier and she was thrown back with a boom as Watanabe shot forward and summoned a purple lightning bolt and threw it at Kiana.

Kiana could only turn her body midair to dodge the lightning bolt or she would have gotten a major wound.

But that's where her calculations failed as Watanabe smiled and spread her lightning throughout her body.

She suddenly appeared in the place where Kiana was about to land and summoned two lightning bolts in her hands.

But Kiana still had one last trick under her sleeve. She closed her eyes as she started to fall and her hair started to rise up.

Dark clouds gathered above the duo's head as the crowd mumbled in excitement. Kiana opened her eyes and directed a hand at Watanabe as lightning bolts dropped from the dark clouds.

They easily passed through the cube since it was specifically made to let lightning from the outside enter it while nothing from the inside could attack anyone on the outside.

Watanabe's eyes widened as the lightning bolts reduced her movement along with her defense since even a single lightning bolt would be harmful.

But her face suddenly lit up with a smile as Kiana looked at her with confusion. But her body suddenly froze as she fell down on the ground with a thump.

Her body was paralyzed and she couldn't move any of her body parts. She looked at Watanabe with confusion as she was announced as the winner.

The lightning bolts vanished along with the dark clouds as Watanabe went near Kiana and helped her stand up. Kiana's body was slowly getting unparalyzed as both of them moved off from the stage to stand beside Kai and Levina.

"You kept your eyes on me and not on your surroundings. While the match had started, I released a small lightning snake into the ground and you and the audience didn't notice it since you were focusing on my barrier and your movements. So when you were in the air and your movement and vision were restricted, I unleashed the snake.

It lunged in the air and bit you, this causing momentarily paralysis. But on a real battlefield, you would have been killed or captured just because of those few moments. You have still got many things to learn." Watanabe explained as Kiana nodded sincerely.

After that Watanabe's next opponent was an elf at the 5th stage of the imperial core realm and had even more experience than her.

She put up a fight for a few minutes before she gave up and the match ended with the elf becoming the winner of block C.

Now only a single blocks battle was left before the Kai and Levina would face off against the blessed ruler.
