Chapter 62. NET {21}: Day Four.
With that out of the way, everyone made their way to the golden royal chariot parked outside the castle.
They each took their seats and the chariot flew towards the coliseum.
Meanwhile, in Coliseum City, the loud cheers of fans and spectators echoed widely within the coliseum.
Everyone felt super excited to watch the final battle unfold today.
Ever since the Junior and Adult Noble Elf tournament began, the spectators had been hugely entertained and everyone watching from all corners of the kingdom expected the final to be equally, if not more, exciting as well.
The flying golden chariot was yet to arrive at the coliseum, however, the seats of the coliseum were already filled up.
In fact, the first battle of the day had already begun with Adrian already fighting against William Ramsbottom.
The cheering of the onlookers didn''t falter as well, with everyone urging both contestants to do their best to win.
Some wanted the Earl''s fourth son to win the bronze medal prize while others wanted it to be Adrian.
In summary, everyone would be happy with either one of them winning the bronze prize.
A few minutester, the golden chariot arrived and everyone stepped out of it, with Mia taking the lead to quickly take a seat where she would be able to watch her beloved master.
Evelyn, Elena, Ariel, and Karen walked straight to the section meant for the royal family, and they each took their seats, eager to watch today''s final battle just like Mia.
However, it was currently Adrian and William Ramsbottom who were fighting in the arena.
It had been over five minutes now since the battle started, but neither of them was looking exhausted, instead, their eyes were gleaming with the determination to win thest battle
Unlike all the previous fights, the rules had changed a bit since thepetition was now in its final stages.
All previous rules remained the same, but some slight changes included the fact that each battle would no longerst for five minutes anymore.
It wouldst for as long as ten minutes.
Hence why Adrian and William Ramsbottom were still fighting even though their battle was over five minutes now.
Also, contestants were permitted to summon their spirit guardians for help unlike before, and this was also why there were several craters scattered across the arena.
Aside from these two changes that were included in thest rounds of the tournament, there was also one more thing that was added to the tournament, and it was that as long as a contestant was able to knock out his opposition, that contestant would surely win the fight even if his opponent''s spirit guardian hadn''t been knocked out yet.
In a nutshell, this meant that every contestant''s goal was to make sure they knocked out their opponent and ensured victory for themselves in today''s battle.
Meanwhile, the sounds of swords shing against each other continued to echo loudly within the arena.
Of course, the loud cheering of the spectators could be heard as well, but the reason why the shing could be heard throughout the coliseum was because of the intense fight happening between the contestants'' spirit guardians while their masters battled against one another.
Scott, Adrian''s spirit guardian, was no longer in his human form which Orion was used to seeing since he first met both Adrian and Scott.
Scott had now transformed into a treant as he fought against his opponent.
A treant was a humanoid tree monster that specialized in both meleebat and nt magic, making him a suitable spirit guardian for Adrian.
Scott''s hands, which looked like tree branches, morphed into two huge tree-like swords. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om
He shed towards his opponent, who also happened to be a humanoid tree monster, but unlike Scott, he wasn''t a treant.
Instead, he was an Ent.
The battle continued between the four of them, causing a huge dust cloud to rise within the arena.
The moment the battle ended, both Adrian and William were already exhausted and they both plopped down to the floor, unable to move their limbs anymore.
There were several cuts and shes on their clothes, but there wasn''t a single drop of blood on their clothes or their bodies.
The training dummies had absorbed all the damage they had sustained during the fight.
However, now it was time for the judges to decide who won the fight between the two of them.
Clearly, it looked like the battle ended up in a tie, but in situations like this, the best way to know who won the battle was for the judges to examine the training dummies to see which one of them had taken the most damage and this was exactly what the elders did.
The crowds remained silent as they wondered and anticipated what verdict the elders would make.
After a careful inspection of both training dummies, Adrian was announced as the winner between the two of them and the crowds roared in celebration, amazed by Adrian''s journey so far to be the bronze winner of the Junior Noble Elf Tournament.
While the crowd cheered and the tournament officials apuded his efforts, Adrian didn''t even have the strength to celebrate with everyone else.
He could barely even lift a finger and the same went for William Ramsbottom as well.
Noticing this, the elders and other tournament officials instantly ordered the healers to pick them up and treat them in the recovery room.
Once the healers had taken both contestants away, the mages within the arena cast a few spells to repair the arena which had several craters scattered across the floor.
The repair continued for about ten minutes and once they were done, Ganesha announced for the remaining two contestants to step out.
Within minutes, both Orion and Luna had stepped out of the tunnels of the Coliseum, and they both made their way to the center of the arena.
Once they had greeted each other, Orion and Luna created a bit of space between themselves and the two of them assumed their stances, ready for Ganesha to announce themencement of their fight.
"Are you ready?" Ganesha asked them both for thest time and they both replied with a nod.
Seeing this, he announced."Fight!!"
