Just as the blazing hawk was about to make a sharp turn to the right, an ice wall formed in its path halting its momentum.

BOOM!

Ebony crashed into the blazing hawk like a truck, sending it flying through the 2-meter thick ice wall. It didn’t stop there, the furious wolf used its powerful jaws to clamp down on its neck before throwing it to the ground and slammed on its back.

The force at which ebony slammed into the blazing hawk was intense that the ground below cracked, but the monstrous vitality of king rank beasts kept it alive.

“Lord of chaos, eternal flames that’s turns everything to ashes, bestow on your faithful servant the flames to vanquish all iniquity.”

It was at this moment that Luciano activated the last charge on his stone pyramid artifact.

.....

A sea of golden flames even greater than that of his match against Austin poured out of the stone pyramid, filling his entire half of the battlefield and moving over to that of Blake.

In a matter of seconds, the sea of golden flames was less than 5 meters away from Blake and his beasts, at that moment Ebony and Ivory roared.

The tattoos on Ebony’s body began glowing as it started absorbing the heat, while Ivory instantly conjured a sea of ice as a countermeasure.

The sizzling sound of evaporation as well as the steam produced by the clash of the polar elements filled the arena.

Seeing this as its opportunity to escape, the blazing hawk that was beneath Ebony released a fiery explosion to get the wolf off its body.

The explosion had gone off, but instead of Ebony trying to dodge just as it had expected, the wolf hadn’t moved an inch.

Ebony had taken the hit, without even taking damage, but the blazing hawk’s action even pissed it more.

To make sure it was out for good, Ebony grabbed its wings with his jaw and broke them. at that time Luciano made his way to Blake.

‘Seems like I have underestimated the power of the wolves. If I had known they were this strong I would have gone for Blake from the beginning.’ Luciano thought as he used the cover of the steam to make his way to Blake while both wolves were occupied by the blazing hawk.

If he had gone after Blake right from the start, it would have put the wolves on the defense and given him a higher chance of victory.

‘With the armor’s ability still active I should be able to end things quickly.’ Luciano thought as he appeared behind Blake, but that was when Ivory’s 5-meter body turned into a pool of water that blocked him.

“Shit!”

Luciano couldn’t help but curse as Ivory’s water body returned to normal and a pissed expression was on her face.

Her anger instantly froze the area behind Blake including Luciano, but thanks to the heat constantly being produced by the armor, his internal organs weren’t frozen meaning he wasn’t eliminated yet.

Giving him no time to escape the ice, Ivory threw him into the air, and Ebony who was even more furious for Luciano’s failed sneak attack slammed him into the barrier of the battleground.

As the bleeding Luciano was falling, Ivory appeared in front of him and once again slammed him into the barrier before letting him drop to the ground as the golden barrier appeared.

Taking a hit from a king rank beast and surviving was no small feat even for demigods, let alone taking 2 hits from Ebony and Ivory when they were angry.

‘Luciano and that armor are pretty strong. I thought he would have been eliminated on the first hit.’ Blake thought.

“Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I present to you the strongest student of the Synder Empire, Blake!” The host announced as almost the entire arena erupted in cheers.

Most nobles surely weren’t happy about this, but as for the commoners that all saw Blake as their representative, they felt this was a big victory for them.

This was the first time in history that a commoner beat all odds and came out on top against nobles, and it felt good.

‘Why do I feel I just made things worse?’ Blake thought as he waved at the crowd while returning to the platform that took him back to the lobby.

[Depends on how you see it. You are now on the radar of every noble in the empire, but you are now seen as a promising talent by the commoners.] The system explained, making Blake think about all the opportunities this could bring him.

‘I understand what you are saying, but the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.’

‘Not only are even more dangerous eyes now on me, but I am now receiving the responsibility of being a promising talent.’ Blake thought.

[You are right, but you should look at it from the long-term perspective. Achievements like this increase your worth in the eyes of people, meaning more opportunities that would help you figure out your purpose in Infinite realm faster.] The system explained.

‘You are right. Although things would only get more dangerous for me if I am to continue this way, I might not get to see my mom even in the next decade.’ Blake thought.

[Don’t go being an overachiever unless you will get put down before you can even find your purpose.] The system cautioned Blake.

“You could have taken it a bit easy.” Luciano said to Blake with a chuckle.

“Sorry man, they were pissed off that you were sneaking up on me.” Blake said while fuddling his hair.
