Rise Of The Dragon Emperor

Fear was evident in Ronan's eyes as he saw Percy claw his way back to the top of the arena.

Bleeding from his chest, cheeks, arms, and mouth, Percy looked nothing like the elegant first prince of Avalon, but a barbaric warrior instead.

"*pant* *pant* Not enough… *pant*...…... Not enough to defeat me…!" Percy said as he took his fighting stance yet again, his blood-red eyes filled with a resolute gaze.

Ronan, who was also breathing heavily, took a fighting stance of his own. However, his vision had became impaired; the world was spinning around him and he saw multiple Percys due to exhaustion.

Ronan had reached his limit when he hit the last five lightning strikes. However, it was not enough to defeat Percy. Right now, him being able to stand up properly was the absolute limit of what he could do.

However, even so, the smile on his face never faded. With a defiant gaze, he said to Percy, "Bring it."

He knew in his heart that since the second Percy climbed his way back up, this match was sealed. It was his inevitable defeat. However, he no longer had any regrets about this defeat, as he had truly given it his all.

He had pushed himself to his utmost limit, physically and mentally, while also hitting Percy with his best move.

If he could not defeat Percy despite his best effort, then it was due to his own shortcoming. However, as a real warrior, if he was going down, he was absolutely going down swinging.

"Arggghhhhh!" Ronan charged towards Percy as he balled his fists in the air with no power whatsoever. However, his hands only sliced through thin air. Due to his impaired vision, the area he aimed at was never the place where Percy stood.

What followed was Ronan swinging wildly and missing constantly. The entire academy crowd witnessed the pitiful image of the second prince who could not even locate his enemy properly.

Had it been anyone but Ronan, they would have fainted long ago after using a move that was well beyond their means even at their peak state, much less after hours of intense fighting.

However, through sheer willpower, Ronan had decided to fight till the very end.

Nobody was cheering Percy anymore, and no one booed Ronan either. There was a pin-drop silence in the arena as everyone looked at the battered Draco brothers push themselves beyond their means.

When Percy finally realized that Ronan could no longer even see straight, he looked towards the heavens and closed his eyes as a tear escaped. "You did well brother." He whispered as he gathered the necessary courage for his next actions.

Opening his eyes, Percy wiped his tears as he prepared the fire fist spell.

A terrifying flame appeared on Percy's right arm as he prepared to attack the visually impaired Ronan.

"OYE, BASTARD! DON'T YOU REALIZE HE CAN'T SEE? IS IT NECESSARY TO HURT HIM BEFORE YOU ELIMINATE HIM?" Captain Yami shouted without caring about who he was talking. He found Percy's actions despicable.

Covered in snot and tears himself, Captain Yami was livid at Percy for pulling such a powerful move against a defenseless Ronan. However, Percy just glared at him menacingly with his cold red eyes and said, "Shut up!"

There was anger behind that sentence, as Percy's murderous aura made even Captain Yami flinch in fear.

Percy dashed through Ronan's blind spot as right as Ronan tried to hit an imaginary Percy that did not exist, a fire fist that he never saw coming connected in the form of an uppercut right at his jaw!

BAM!

Ronan was not only sent flying but also knocked unconscious with that attack, his unconscious body hitting the martial arena with a loud thud!

With the entire academy booing him, Percy walked up to Ronan. He put his brother's unconscious body over his shoulder and walked towards the arena's edge. He tossed his body over to eliminate Ronan.

With Ronan falling over the elimination line, the event was concluded with a victory for the green house with one Percy Draco being the sole survivor of the entire ordeal.

The greens swarmed the martial arena post-event as Percy was put on their shoulders and paraded like a hero while Ronan was rushed to the infirmary by the red house master and Captain Yami.

Although Ronan had lost, the reds had their heads held high. While Percy was the winner, Ronan was undoubtedly the people's champion. After today's performance, he had won the respect and admiration of the entire academy.

The difference between Percy and Ronan was huge, with the former being much higher levelled. However, despite that, Ronan gave him a run for his money, shocking everyone with his monstrous power that could split the entire arena in half.

The biggest impact delivered from today's match was that the supremacy of the Draco bloodline was undoubtedly solidified.

The nobles paraded with their heads high, as the commoners realized a dreaded reality of life. The reality of:

"ONE'S GENES DO MATTER."

The reason why Ronan and Percy were so strong was because Augustus and Alexander were monstrously strong as well, and had married into a bloodline of equally prestigious noble households.

This was a gene build-up that a commoner could never have. Hence, without a natural talent of over six stars and a superior elemental affinity, they had nothing that could ever compare to the two princes.

Hard work can make up for a lack of talent, but there are only 24 hours in a day and the only way hard work can help a 2 star talent catchup with Ronan is if Ronan does not train at all for several years and the 2 star talent works hard for every single minute of his life.

However, with a disciplined work rate and a hardworking nature, the Draco boys were unsurpassable in this generation.

Every foreign power understood one thing pretty well; the rise of the Draco clan was inevitable with this duo!

(Meanwhile, Maddy)

Maddy checked the corridor to see if anyone was eavesdropping on her.

Only after she was thoroughly satisfied with the security of her room did she take out her secret communication device given to her by the elder in the phoenix clan for communicating from within the academy.

Maddy requested contact with the elder, who answered on the other end.

"My child, why have you suddenly contacted me? Is there trouble?" The elder asked, his tone containing no emotion at all.

"No, elder, there is no trouble. However, there has been a development that I must inform the clan about," Maddy replied.

"Tell me, what is it?" The elder asked, a bit interested.

"Ronan Draco and Percy Draco clashed in the winter event today, and their power levels are completely off the charts.

"Ronan split the entire martial arena in half with a move I have never seen before, yet Percy still managed to win.

"The duo is beyond formidable." Maddy said in a rushed tone.

"I see. What about it?" The elder asked.

"I think this can be an opportunity for us to assassinate the brothers, since if given time to grow, they will become more and more formidable at a rate that we cannot imagine.

"However, as of this moment, not only Ronan but even Percy is seriously injured, due to their intense battle against each other. If we move quickly right now, we can get rid of them without problem," Maddy revealed her suggestion.

The elder's eyes sparkled at this suggestion as a crooked plan started to brew in his mind. Since the recent meeting with the chieftains of the Northern Wastelands was a failure, striking the princes would be a good opportunity to get the operation back on track. L

"Well done, you shall be appropriately awarded for this information." The elder said as he disconnected the call.

He needed to discuss it with the new clan leader and the seven seas organization. If everything went as he thought it should go, very soon, an assassination order for the two brothers would be issued to the Assassins Guild, and the world's best assassins would take the opportunity to infiltrate Avalon National Academy and kill the nation's two rising stars.

The work that remained unfinished at the temple of the fire god would finally be completed, and the humiliated phoenix clan would finally have its vengeance !

While Ronan still remained unconscious in the infirmary bed and Percy bit his lip from pain as he underwent a medicinal bath.

The enemies of Avalon aimed for their lives in the shadows , as a cruel journey lay ahead for the Draco boys over the winter break.
