Chapter 107: Chapter 106

Chapter 106: Chikyu Chikara Castle

The party was a success. Noboru had shown the Earth God around his city and even allowed him and his brothers to speak with the Basilisk Alazon. Noboru smiled at the memories he had and looked forward to the duel with the Earth God.

Currently, Noboru was preparing his battle outfit. He had taken off the Relics and placed them in his private dimension made for storage. Noboru was excited; he wanted to see how strong this Earth God was, especially with the buffs this world received from the Golden Being. The people did not get Omni Energy but did receive an upgrade.

"This is it. I can feel it. Today is the day we get a chance to form an alliance with Terravale," Noboru said, smiling as he slipped on the armor Emiko had gotten him for the Tournament of the Duke of the North.

"Noboru-kun, it's time," Emiko said, blushing as she saw him wearing the armor she had given him, causing Layla to get jealous and glare at Emiko.

"Thank you for telling me, Emiko. Let's go," Noboru said as he turned around and walked out of his room, followed by the two beautiful girls.

They made their way towards the entrance of the castle where Sky and Yumeko waited for him alongside Fire General Kai.

"Are you ready, Noboru?" Yumeko asked, putting her hand on Noboru's shoulder.

"Of course I am," Noboru replied as Yumeko nodded.

"Good. Don't lose, Noboru," Sky said, encouraging him.

"Don't worry. I won't," Noboru said reassuringly.

"The fate of the world rests on your shoulders. If you lose, we are done for," Fire General Kai said as he put his hand on Noboru's shoulder.

"You are right. This is no ordinary fight. We can't afford to lose. I must win no matter what. I won't lose. Not to him. Not to anyone. I will win for all of you," Noboru said determinedly.

"Good. Then don't hold back. Fight him with everything you've got," Sky said.

"Don't you worry, Sky. I plan to win," Noboru said confidently as he walked away from his friends towards the stadium to face the Earth God, King George.

Chikyu Chikara City - Arena - Stands

Noboru made his way to the arena where the audience was waiting excitedly to watch a fight between the Earth God and Noboru. He ignored them, his eyes focused on the Earth God, King George. Noboru arrived at his side of the stands. The arena was a giant structure that stretched out infinitely, with rocky terrain perfect for two rock aura users to battle on. There were boulders and mountains everywhere.

"Nervous?" Earth God George asked, noticing Noboru's focused look on him.

"Nope. Just can't wait to finally have a fight with someone strong," Noboru said with a cocky smile, causing the audience to laugh and clap as Earth God George looked amused.

"My dear Viscount, your confidence is well warranted. It is admirable," Earth God George said, nodding his head to the crowd. "Please, this is a big crowd. Would you do the honors, my dear brother, and count us in?" Earth God George said.

"You got it, elder brother," Alister, the Duke of the North, said as he stood up and looked down, waving at Noboru, who nodded back in respect.

"And welcome everybody to the great duel between the Viscount and my brother, the Earth God," Alister, the Duke of the North, said to the audience as everyone cheered. "But there is more, my brothers and sisters. This is no ordinary match between a mere Viscount and the Earth God. No, this is a special event. Not only the fate of our alliance with the three other kingdoms is riding on this battle, but the fate of the entire world and realms depends on this, as today we battle the enemy known as the Disciples of Darkness. If he can prove he has the strength worthy of defeating the Earth God, my brother, we will all march towards the Disciples of Darkness and crush them for the good of everyone!" Alister, the Duke of the North, said, exciting the crowd who were cheering.

"But that is all talk for another day. What we respect is power. Let's see if Viscount Noboru Chikara can beat our Earth God. Are the two fighters ready?" Alister, the Duke of the North, asked.

"We have been ready for a while," Noboru said, stretching.

"As you know, I gave you time to prepare, but let's see if all the hours I gave you will lead you to victory, Viscount," Earth God George said, smiling.

"Okay, the Earth God and Viscount Chikara are both ready. On my count," Alister said. "Three."

"You should give up; this isn't a duel, not for you," Earth God George said.

"Two."

"Nope, the results will show I will win. I am not weak," Noboru said.

"You learned the ability from my greatest weapon," Earth God George smirked.

"One!"

"Fateshifter... it has been some time since I have used it. It was designed by your kingdom's head of Technology and Development, Tony, long before. Tony is also the greatest weaponsmith in all of Terravale," Earth God George said.

"Go!" Alister said as the battle for the future of all began.

Meanwhile, the audience and those backstage were looking on.

"I don't see Viscount Chikara winning. The Earth God is too strong. His legendary class weapon is so strong that the hero from legend did not give him the Gaia's Armor as he did others. In fact, Tony made those relics. Plus, did you hear it has the ability to manipulate fate?" a man said as a woman shook her head.

"The Earth God may be strong, but Viscount Chikara tamed the Basilisk of Legends. Surely taming it wasn't easy," the woman said.

"Did you see Viscount Chikara though? He is calm and seems to know what to do," another person said as others nodded.

"Do not doubt Viscount Chikara. He is everything a man should be: strong, kind, and sexy," a woman yelled, causing many women, even those who were married or in relationships, to yell out agreements and fawn over Noboru's looks.

Meanwhile, in a private box, Yumeko, Sky, Layla, Emiko, and Fire General Kai sat watching the match. Their friend, love, and brother figure was about to fight one of the elemental gods of this world—the Earth God, King George—and all of their emotions were different. Yumeko was determined; she saw Noboru as a brother, especially when he threatened to go to her father's castle and kill the nobles and guards that were giving her trouble for being a bastard daughter of the Earth God and how he's always saved her. For Emiko and Layla, their hearts were filled with worry. Noboru was about to fight the strongest of the elemental gods. The Earth God George—it was said the hero relic barely outclassed his special sword made by the person who made the Relics of Old, who they now know is Tony, Chikyu Chikara City's head of Technology. But they were also jealous, seeing all these women fawn over their love just because of his looks and personality. He was theirs. Finally, Fire General Kai had faith in his friend, but the legends of the Earth God were strong. How would he do against his blade?

Meanwhile, in the box of the Four Dukes, Alister, the Duke of the North, Charles, the Duke of the South, Theodore, the Duke of the West, and Alexander, the Duke of the East, sat and watched the match.

"Well, my brothers, who do you see winning?" Alister, the Duke of the North, asked.

"Our brother George, the Earth God, obviously," the Duke of the West, Theodore, responded.

"I agree. I believe in the legends of the Fateshifter, but if Noboru manages to actually beat the Earth God, he will be a powerful ally," Charles, the Duke of the South, said.

"I'm afraid I must agree," the Duke of the East, Alexander, added.

"Viscount Noboru is nothing? Big brother can handle a thousand of him. Viscount Noboru proves to be absolutely nothing in my eyes. There will be no him winning in this fight because it's clear he does not have a chance," the Duke of the West, Theodore, said arrogantly.

"You underestimate Viscount Noboru," Alister, the Duke of the North, retorted angrily.

"I don't, but either way, we will see," the Duke of the West, Theodore, retorted angrily.

"We will, brother, but it seems to me you are jealous of the women throwing themselves at him without him needing to flex his title or money. Or is it because your crush, Emiko, is also in love with him?" The Duke of the North, Alister, said, teasing Theodore, the Duke of the West.

"I... What... No." Theodore, the Duke of the West, sputtered with a red blush on his face. "I am a duke. I could have any woman I want, not some mere Viscount. Not even Noboru would dare challenge my authority," he retorted.

"That's all nonsense. Let the duel commence," Duke Charles, the Duke of the South, spoke, annoyed. "So who's going to win, the Viscount or Big Brother?" Charles, the Duke of the South, asked.

Back at the Stage

Earth God George pulled out his sword, Fateshifter, with both hands and brought the hilt to his face, pointing the blade at him. "Well then, Viscount Chikara, let's see what you are made of. Please me," Earth God George said as Noboru got into a fighting stance.
