Young Master in the Apocalypse

Just below the Pillar, two thousand people gathered on the snow-covered grass. Some seemed to be sitting, some were standing. They form a circle with a diameter of 250 meters. In the middle was an empty land that serves as a battle arena.

To the west were five men standing in red and black uniforms. They are the Red Faction. Nikolai Yakov stands among the four fighters.

While on the west side, was Viktor's team. There were four women and one man in gold and silver armor. They are Jessie, Viez, Liza, Anna, and Viktor or in this case the metal guardian.

"Everyone, please gather." The referee standing in the center of the arena shouted. After tough negotiations, both parties agreed to take the referee from the Red Faction.

The two sides walked to the center of the arena. They looked into each other's eyes. The faces of the Red Faction fighters looked intimidating, especially Nikolai. Meanwhile, Viktor's group of fighters looked tense. Only Liza has a flat expression.

"Sigh, look, they've even included a kid," sneered a fighter from the Red Faction. His head was bald and had many wrinkles on his face.

"Of course, no one dares to go against us. That's why they had to send a child."

"HA HA HA!" Instantly laughter broke out in the Red Faction squad. Only an old man who was at the Saint Realm stage did not laugh.

On Viktor's side no one responded. But Jessie's face was clear when she was upset. Meanwhile, Viez and Anna held back their emotions.

"Where is your master, Northstar? You fought for his honor, but he didn't even come to see." Nikolai quipped sarcastically.

But Viktor was silent. He was going to take Barry along, to be Northstar for a while. So that Viktor can show himself. But he abandoned that intention because Viktor was worried that someone would follow them when changing positions. Considering there are a lot of people nowadays.

After the Red Faction group had their fill of making fun of Viktor, the referee started to read out the rules.

"This is a battle to determine the owner of the territory. The winner will get the northern region, while the loser may no longer set foot in this area. Do you agree?"

The referee looked at the fighters on both sides and both seemed to nod. After that the referee began to explain the rules and how to play.

This fight will be one on one. Both teams have five fighters each. The winning fighter may continue the fight or stop. While the loser will be replaced by another fighter.

The fight continues until one team runs out of fighters. The first team to run out of all five fighters was declared the loser.

Fighters may use any weapon, but must not kill the opponent. The fighter will be declared defeated if he cannot get up on the count of 10 or if he was unconscious.

After explaining all the rules, the referee then asked, "Are you guys ready to fight?"

"Ready!" Answer both at the same time.

"Please choose your fighter."

From the Red Faction's side, a bald man who had previously made fun of Viktor's entourage, came forward first. "You go, Metal Guardian. I want to see if you're as great as you're talking about."

Viktor was unaffected by the man's provocation. His attention was currently focused on their team discussion.

"Okay, so who comes first?" Jessie asked.

Without a word, Viktor said, "You will come first, Jessie Wineberries."

Jessie's eyes opened wide. "Come on, why don't you just Metal Guardian. Are you the greatest among us? That's right?" Jessie asked the approval of the three women on this team.

But Viktor shook his head. "I can't, I need to save energy to fight two Saint Realms." Viktor quibbled. In fact he was quite confident against the five of them one by one, he just hopes to see how his companion performs in a duel.

Jessie sighed. With a sour face, she stepped towards the center of the arena. Jessie suddenly stopped, then turned around.

"This is my first experience of dueling, 'Metal Guardian'. Don't you have any input?" A tone of tension mixed with annoyance escaped Jessie's mouth. He often fought monsters, but only this time against humans.

Viktor walked over to Jessie and touched her shoulder. "Relax, Jessie. Just fight all you can. I will beat them all later." That was the only word of encouragement Viktor could give. Jessie seemed to sigh, she felt it was wrong to ask Viktor for input.

"Alright, those who haven't fought, please leave the arena."

After that, both the Red Faction and Northstar left the battle arena. Leaving the referee along with Jessie and his opponent.

"First round, Jessie Wineberries vs Borya Karpov."

The referee's hands blocked both sides. Jessie and Borya's eyes met each other.

"Hehe, don't worry I won't be too hard on you, sweetie." The bald-headed man then gave Jessie a long-distance kiss. Meanwhile, Jessie could only put on a disgusted expression.

The referee then starts the count.

3… 2… 1…

"Start!"

Bam—!

The instant the hammer hit the ground, the snow covering the grass scattered in the air. When the new battle started, Borya immediately threw a hammer at Jessie. The attack just now was deadly. Luckily Jessie quickly dodged.

"You're fast too, sweetie."

The audience in Viktor's camp held their breath when they saw what had just happened. Meanwhile, Jessie with an angry expression took a pole in her hands.

"I know, from the start people like you can't be trusted."

Instantly Jessie jumped into the air then from her arm she cast a bolt of lightning.

Blast!

Lightning with high voltage struck Borya, of course the man managed to dodge. As a result, snow was scattered. His figure was not seen for a while.

Jessie's eyes moved quickly to find her opponent. "Where is he going."

"Watch out!"

As soon as Jessi came to her senses, her body was covered in shadows. Then he looked up, Borya was already above him.

"Goodbye, honey~"

Borya was about to hit Jessie like a comet falling to Earth. While Jessie who was in the air couldn't avoid it. Then Jessie cast a spell.

"Thunder Shield!"

Suddenly Jessie's body was wrapped in a ball of lightning, shaped like a thin membrane with a flash of lightning. Borya's eyes opened wide, he realized he couldn't avoid Jessie.

Blast!

"Arrrgh!"

High-voltage lightning electrocuted his body, sending Borya flying 10 meters away. The audience at Vikto's camp cheered.

"Yeah!"

Thud!

Borya's body fell, then sank into a pile of snow. While Jessi landed smoothly with a smile. "How does my thunder?"

Of course, the attack just now wasn't enough to make a Sky Realm peak stage faint. Borya got up holding his neck, like it was sore from waking up. "Not bad, I'll show you the difference in our strength."

The body around Borya gathered a gust of wind, slowly the wind formed a small whirlwind that enveloped his body. His wrinkled face began to show a smile. Jessie narrowed her eyes after seeing her opponent's move.

"Hey! Ice Tornado!"

The waterspout that covered Borya's body got bigger and shot various ice crystals starting to shoot in various directions. A blizzard began to appear above the arena.

Phew! Phew! phe!

Instantly the audience began to cast spells to protect themselves from the impact of the attack. Even Viktor took out [Metal Wall] so as not to be affected by the battle. While Borya did not care. He continued to launch thousands of ice crystals while laughing like a psycho.

"Ha ha ha! Die!"

On the other hand, Jessie bit her lip while holding back the dozens of ice crystals that kept attacking her barrageously. The [Thunder Shield] protecting her body couldn't last much longer.

There were even a few ice crystals that have managed to penetrate the shield and injure her body.

Viktor who looked at the side of the audience could only see his partner struggling alone. His hands clenched into fists, furious to want to jump and beat the bald-headed man. However, Viktor still has hope in Jessie.

"I have to take the risk," Jessie muttered.

Jessie then removed [Thunder Shield], instantly thousands of ice crystals pierced her body. Jessie avoided the attack as much as possible while casting her strongest move.

Suddenly the sky turned cloudy. Black clouds began to cover the clear sky. Not long after, lightning struck the center of the tornado.

Blast!

The lightning struck the arena. Snow scattered, covering the scene with white. The audience were trying to figure out what happened to the battle. But they couldn't see anything.

"What happened?"

"The lightning just now was really crazy."

Everyone who witnessed the arena wondered. You can see a shadowy figure behind the snow. Not long after, the snow floating in the air began to disappear.

The person standing in the center of the arena was Borya!
