Rise Of The Dragon Emperor

( The day of the finals , the grand arena )

The day of the finals saw a jam-packed arena filled with so many people that except the VIP seating section , there was literally no-one seated in the entirety of the stadium.

Everyone was packed shoulder to shoulder as almost the entire city of Avalon , including the old and the young were all present inside the arena to look at this clash of the royal princes.

The ticket sales had broken all records and the revenue generated by the government by this tournament was unprecedented having already exceeded the tax income for the year.

Even Leif had not expected the event to have such unforeseen results as the value of money generated had already far exceeded the value of the 5000 old ginseng and money spent on food and accommodations of the foreigners.

Not only did this allow Avalon to display their strength to the world , but also deepened their relationship with many countries and major sects while also generating ridiculous income and a source of excitement for the commoners.

It was a mega-win for the nation as no matter which prince won today , the Draco family and Avalon had already won as a whole.

The jam packed arena also had all the various participants of the competition alongside their teams seated in the VIP section , while Alexander and the various sect masters were seated in huge thrones in a singular line.

Even the old foggie sect masters were excited about today's matchup as the various contestants wanted to eagerly see what the two of the best of their generation were capable off.

Ronan and Percy had both won the respect of the various participants as every single one of them had fought one of the other , and knew firsthand about the difference in power between themselves and the Draco brothers.

This made them both envious and determined , as now all they wanted to do was to see which one of them was stronger.

Today's match had a unbelievable 40 windshield set-up, as many experts from the army were called to mentain public safety , but even then both General Sam and Chanakya were charged with attack neutralization duty should the need be from ground zero.

The set-up seemed excessive to some sect masters , however Alexander knew firsthand of the strength that both his sons were capable of producing.

If anything else , he was more worried that it would prove to be too little should the duo really go all out.

Although reluctant, Sierra chose to attend this fight as she hid behind Alexander's seat while closing her eyes , as for her the idea of her son's fighting each other was still very difficult to swallow.

Today 's match had a special feature in the form of a announcer .

A sound elemental affinity user who could amplify his voice was chosen for this role , as he was asked to give live commentary and analysis of the match to spicen things up for the paying audience.

The result was that he gave a stone cold introduction to both the participants as they walked onto the stage.

The announcer said " Ladies and gentlemen, today is the day we finally get the winner of this week long tournament, as we are about to witness the clash of the royal scions.

The question is Avalon .... ARE YOU READY? ".

" YESSS!! " , a loud cheer came from the crowd as the atmosphere was absolutely electric for the final rounds.

The announcer continued " Then let's get straight into it!

INTRODUCING FIRST .... the second prince of Avalon , the superior thunder elemental user , the 13 year old maestro who has yet to lose or draw a single Match in this competition, the NUMBER ONE internal pick , THE NUMBER ONE overall Ranking contestant after the group stage , The one , the only , RONAN DRACO! ".

Ronan walked onto the stage with black robes on with the sigil of the royal family embroided in silver on him as he looked very sharp and regal.

The audience gave Ronan a mixture of silence and polite cheers which was completely unlike his usual warm thunderous reception , but Ronan did not care about it at all.

Laser focused on the match ahead he stood on the stage stretching as he waited for his brother to show up.

He did not even need to see him to know that he was entering the arena as the deafeningly noise from the crowd gave it away first.

The announcer was shocked to see the crowd noise as he tried to talk over it but failed.

His voice only audible as a faint murmur eventhough he was shouting at max potential , with his very flattering introduction of Percy.

" INTRODUCING NEXT , THE CROWN PRINCE OF AVALON, THE PHOENIX FLAME USER , THE ELDER BROTHER, THE BELOVED, THE CHARISMATIC , THE ENIGMATIC , THE POWERFUL..... PERCY DRACO! ".

The pop from the crowd just kept getting louder and louder until the entire arena started to vibrate due to the loud sound , it was a surreal moment for all to witness as the outsiders finally got a glimpse of just how popular the Draco family really was.

Even if some foreign power did manage to conquer Avalon , it would be impossible to stop riots from the commoners as they would not accept anyone else as the king at any costs.

Percy walked onto the stage with his red and black robes that had a red insignia of the Draco family embroided with such a weave that it looked like a burning fire.

Unlike Ronan , Percy smiled at the crowd and pumped his fists in the air to respond to their hype as his actions only made their pop grow even louder.

Internally Percy thought ' I cannot lose infront of this beloved crowd my brother , I'm sorry but you must lose today '.

Thinking so Percy gave Ronan the coldest looks he had ever given his cute baby brother as today there was no compassion in his eyes , only an intense flame that stared down the soul of his opponent.

Ronan did not back down from the staredown either as he walked towards his brother with a smile on his face without breaking eye-contact.

The two brothers got face to face , as Ronan looked up towards the taller built Percy , while Percy bashed his head against Ronan's forehead and looked down on his brother.

The audience lost their minds at the staredown itself , as finally the refree had to break the duo and urge them to take starting positions.

The tension in the air was very thick , as sparks could be seen flying between the two contestants eyes , as neither was willing to back down.

Augustus and Luna both wiped the sweat off their foreheads as they thought the same thing .... ' This is it ... '.
