Chapter 376 Zokaka Versus Caprio!
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, two gigantic birds - one Firebird and one Thunderbird - chirped as if they possessed intelligence.
"Charge!" both Levi and Caprio yelled, waving their weapons in the air. The two beasts in the air dashed toward each other, blasting each other with fire and lightning bolts from time to time. Their talons continued to claw at each other, each trying to emerge as the victor. Suddenly, the momentum of the competition shifted from the land to the air. The two competitors were controlling the two beasts in the expanse of their mental and internal energies.
Within minutes, the Thunderbird won, still paying the heavy price of losing one wing as it pecked the Firebird's neck. "Let me call this my win. What do you say, Prince Levi Dunderbun?" Caprio smirked.
"Hmph! As if," snorted Levi. He tossed his right ax in the air, and it whirled like a chakra in the air, projected in a curvy path, and beheaded the Thunderbird, which barely survived.
Both beasts blasted, turning back to Origin Chi, and diffused into the air as if they were not the veritable beasts, to begin with. Like a boomerang, the ax in the air returned, landing in his hand perfectly. Caprio frowned as he cursed in his head, 'What a sore loser!'
The crowd went wild seeing Prince Levi's colorful and aesthetic move. Just as they were about to charge into each other again, the Grand Elder announced, "Time's up! It's a draw."
"The next match will be Prince Zokaka versus Caprio De Lavabane. After five minutes, the match will continue," the Grand Elder said.
Caprio walked down the arena and looked at Zokaka spitefully. "Oh, the unconstrained killing intent," Damien smiled. Looking at his apprentice, he continued. "Kill that bitch!"
Zokaka also eyed his next opponent. He saw Queen Kudini Lavabane approaching and interacting with her nephew Caprio. They had nothing but bad intentions toward him. "Yes, Master!" After thinking deeply, he asked, "Can I use my Titan mode?"
"Absolutely not. Boy, listen, I gave you this bloodline not to use it on such small fish. Do you understand?" Damien said firmly.
"I'll always remember that," responded Zokaka.
Soon, the five-minute break ended, and the Grand Elder announced, "Prince Zokaka, Caprio De Lavabane, please come forward," gesturing gracefully as he stood in the Seventh Arena.
Amidst the clamor from the overexcited crowd, which was mostly cheering for Caprio, the two competitors walked up the arena.
Caprio was thrilled with the current setting. Looking around proudly, he said, "Did you hear that? Hahaha, this is really something...what do I put? Aye, you are their prince, but why are they cheering for me?" After a pause, he shouted, "Because you are just a piece of shite! There is no honor in fighting trash like you. So, just admit defeat and crawl out of here with your tail between your legs." 1
Zokaka refused to be provoked by Caprio's taunts and instead turned to Zagma. "Can we start already? I didn't sign up for this nonsense," he said.
Zokaka's calm demeanor impressed Zagma in the face of Caprio's threats. "Ahem-ahem," he cleared his throat and announced, "Your fight begins!"
As the horn blew to mark the start of the match, Caprio boasted, "It's too late to surrender now. I won't leave this arena until I've separated your head from your body. Consider it punishment for being a thorn in my aunt Kudini's side." He charged forward and delivered a powerful punch toward Zokaka.
To everyone's surprise, Zokaka caught Caprio's fist and countered with a kick to his stomach. "Nice one!" Grand Elder Zagma exclaimed.
Caprio stumbled backward, giving Zokaka a deadly glare. "This is rather disappointing," he sneered.
Undeterred, Zokaka grinned and taunted, "What's with that look, Prince Lavabane? If you want to keep your life, you'd better come at me with all you've got. You're not facing those weaklings, but me, Zokaka Dunderbun, the Seventh Prince of the Mountain Smashing Dwarf Kingdom."
Zokaka's words sent a shockwave through the crowd, and they rose to their feet, saluting him in the dwarves' traditional manner. They began singing an old war song in a strong Scottish accent, praising Zokaka and urging him to defeat Caprio.
"Amidst the mountains we bide, in caverns, we call hame
Oor hearts are tough as rock, nae foe can claim
We sing praises tae Zokaka, oor bonnie prince sae bold
As he prepares tae face Caprio, fierce and cold,"
"Zokaka, oor prince, wi' axe in haun
Will defend oor kingdom, and protect oor land
Wi' his strength and might, he'll face the foe
And strike them down wi' a mighty blow"
The momentum of the song was so strong that even King Ragnar Dunderbun joined in, singing with the masses, and en-masses sang even louder and louder amidst the blowing horns in tandem with their chorus and verses.
"Oor forges are ablaze, our armor sturdy
United we stand, ne'er tae be hurdy-gurdy
Zokaka leads us wi' courage and pride
As he faces Caprio, we'll stand by his side"
Looking at one another and beaming, they continued the next chorus.
"Zokaka, oor prince, wi' axe in haun
Will defend oor kingdom, and protect oor land
Wi' his strength and might, he'll face the foe
And strike them down wi' a mighty blow"
Then the outro part of the age-old battle song came:
"So here's tae Zokaka, oor fearless leader
We stand by him, as he prepares for this encounter
We ken he'll be victorious, as he always is
Zokaka, oor prince, the Mountain Smashing Dwarf Kingdom's greatest!" The song ended with everyone crying out loud with thundering touches of laughter, full of hugging in the end.
Even though Prince Zokaka had always tried to hold his emotion in. This time, it overwhelmed him. He couldn't hold in his tears anymore. "Everyone, I'm blessed. I'll never forget this moment." Standing up proudly, he saluted back.
"Don't turn your back on me, bastard!" Caprio interrupted the moment, roaring in anger and attacking Zokaka with a vertical slash from his red broadsword.
