My Dragon System

It wasn't clear to many who was winning the fight, that was up until Harry had suddenly stabbed Roki in the shoulder with his blade. The empire's people were relying on him to be their ace, and when they saw him fight giant beasts they had imagined fighting another human would be a walk in the park.

Savanna took a glance at Ray. "These Redwing people, they're not normal." She said.

Sitting by her side was Bob's replacement, a man called Gaur. He was just as large as Bob and had tattoos all over his chest up to his neck.

"I don't see what had you all shaking in your boots." Gaur said. "These two are not even that impressive, if this is the best the Redwing's and the empire have to offer then we have this win in the bag."

Savanna didn't say anything else. Gaur wasn't there when the warrior known as Nes had defeated Bob, and not only that but had taken them all on at the same time. However, the main reason why she didn't decide to snap back was because Guar had the skills to back himself up.

In truth, he was a better warrior then Bob. The only reason why they didn't want to use him was because of his unusual tendencies to play with the opponents he defeated, he was a vile human that didn't deserve to live.

Not wanting to sour relations with the other empires they kept him as a reserve, still debating whether to use him or not. In the end, they had left the choice to Savanna and she had chosen not to. But now with Bob out of the picture they didn't really have a choice.

Roki had jumped back a few meters, now no longer in Harry's striking zone. Unsure if this was part of his plan, Harry decided to stay back and wait, but then found Roki's next actions strange.

Roki had placed the sword he had been using up to this point away and into the sheet behind his back. Then, from the exact same sheet he pulled out a different blade. On closer inspection, it was two sheets closely lined together. Roki never had just one long sword, he was carrying two all along.

When Ray saw the energy coming from the sword he knew what it was. It was an emperor tier weapon. Of all the things the crystal could have been turned into, Roki had lucked out. It was perfect for making a long sword.

It looked similar to his other long sword, only with a bit more polish and shine to it, due to it being new. There was also a green glow through the middle of the blade, making it look like a magical weapon of some sort.

Roki charged in just like before and Harry did the same, using his skilful techniques to force the strike where he wanted it to go.

This time, when he missed Roki said, "I'm sorry, I didn't want to win this way."

Suddenly, strange roots started to grow from the sword and had wrapped around Harry's wrists. Harry tried to use his strength to break free.

'If only I could transform, maybe I could slip away.'

Although the roots had Harry constricted, Roki was free to move as it would adjust when he moved his sword and he had done so, now pointing it at Harry's neck.

"Please forfeit." Roki said.

Harry gritted his teeth, he was debating whether or not he should use his beast form. He felt like he had been cheated. The sword skill was near enough the same as magic.

As Harry was in the middle of debating, he had received a message from Sylvia.

"You have done enough, You can forfeit." She said.

He looked at Roki one more time in his eyes, but he didn't have the face of someone who was about to become a victor. If anything, it looked like if Harry said those words he would be more hurt by them.

"I forfeit." Harry replied.

"What the hell!" Kyle shouted. "What about my money? Isn't that cheating, he used magic!"

"Unfortunately it's not." Sylvia replied. "The emperor clearly stated the rules. That active skills on weapons were allowed. The higher grade the weapon is, the stronger the active skills usually are. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do."

"I really think this is your fault anyway Kyle." Martha said trying to tease him even more.

Both the girls weren't upset though, they had achieved what they wanted to achieve. The reason they came here was to show the others that the Redwings were no pushovers. One of their men had just fought back only using skill against one of their strongest.

Unless they had an army full of people as skillful and with an Emperor tier weapon like Roki, then they wouldn't welcome the fight.

The two of them headed back to the tech and they didn't say a word to each other. Roki was getting his shoulder healed while Harry looked at Ray.

"I'm sorry." Harry said.

"Don't be Harry." Ray replied. "I should be the one apologising. I'll just get you your own emperor tier weapon next time."

The others in the tech had by now got used to Ray's crazy words and thoughts. Not anyone could just kill an emperor tier being. In their heads they were now starting to retire to Ray as the mad king.

"Next we have all the way from the Redwing kingdom, Ray Talen, and his opener Gaur Dwyne."

"The mad king finally enters the stage." The young blonde boy said.

"The last match was an unexpected surprise, I hope this one doesn't disappoint either." Jones said.

"Finally." Savanna said in anticipation. However, she was worried that Guar would perhaps go too far. This was a king they were going up against, not just a random warrior. When she turned to look at him to see if he knew that, all she could see was him licking his lips.

"What a tasty red haired treat." Guar said as he started to walk towards the field.

Standing opposite each other, Ray wore no weapons or armour, he had been this way the whole time but it was his plan to show something to the people.

"No weapons or armour, it just makes it easier for me to see that sweet red blood of yours." Guar said.

Placing his arm upwards, suddenly, equipment started to form all over his body and in an instant it had appeared. The eyes of the crowd and contesters were opened wide at what had just happened.

"Is it magic?" Some were asking.

What Ray had done was something that only soul bound equipment could do. A technique that was passed on by the dwarf. If an equipment was soul bound to one, they could equip it and dequip as easy as Ray just showed. The only downside was the equipment could only be used by that person.

This technique had yet to be passed on to all of those in Bronzeland. Seeing Ray standing there like that, that's when a few of them from the crowd started to notice something.

"Doesn't he look a little familiar?" The young blonde warrior said.

It had clicked in Savanna's head. There was another person who had used gauntlets to fight. It was an odd choice in weapons which was why she remembered. Not only that, but these looked the same, and the person in front of her would have been about the same height. However, their facial features were slightly different.

"It couldn't be, could it?" She thought.

The sound beginning the match was heard, and taking his large axe form his back. Guar charged forward with no fear.

Ray wasn't looking in his opponents direction. Instead he was looking in the trench where all the others were watching.

"Fine, if you are planning to have a quick death I won't let that happen." Guar said, still looking at Ray.

Not even for a second did Ray break eye contact with all the others, and it was starting to scare them a little.

"That mad king, what does he want?"

The axe was swung downward, and Ray leaned to the side. With his elbow, he used all his stretch to hit the axe before it could reach the ground. The force was so strong the axehad left Guar's finger tips no matter how tightly he wished to hold on.

The axe had gone flying until it was stuck in the arena wall. Then as hard as he could he stomped his foot into the ground where Guar's foot lay. It was smashed into pieces and the ground was broken as debris flew everywhere.

Then, using his hand, Ray pulled Guar's head down and had dug his fingernails into the back of his neck.

"No it really is.." Savanna said with her mouth wide open.

Now, all of the all kingdom contestants, apart from those from the empire and Harry himself was standing up in the trench. They had seen this exact thing before, everything was nearly identical, for it was what Nes had done to Bob.

"Let me ask you, do you want me to boil your blood?"
