Chapter 303
* * * * *
“The third duel of the quarterfinals to determine the third quarterfinalist! I’d like to invite the two who will be dueling, Count Mingfu of the Helioca Empire and Count Yakuran of the Multhan Kingdom, to step onto the arena!”
Jumbled
Ming Hu, who was waiting at the bottom of the stairs, heard the knight’s shout from above and began to run up the stairs.
‘I’m sure…’
Soon, Ming Hu was back on the field, walking toward the center, watching the expression and mood of Count Yakuran as he approached from the other side.
“I’m not going to run away.
I could sense the speculation in Count Yakuran’s eyes. He didn’t seem to be backing down or running away as expected.
Swoosh swoosh
Arriving at the center of the arena, Ming Hu and Count Yakuran turned to each other and bowed slightly in greeting.
“Let’s get started!”
As Ming Hu and Count Yakuran arrived for the duel, the knight finished speaking and walked down the arena.
“Good luck.”
As the knight descended, Ming Hu smiled and opened his mouth to speak.
“I wish you the best as well.”
Count Yakuran smiled in response to Ming Hu’s words. And with those words, Count Yakuran drew his sword.
Ta-da!
As Count Yakuran drew his sword, Ming Hu leapt out as if he had been waiting for it, reaching for Count Yakuran.
“Boom!”
Unlike the others, Count Yakuran did not back down as the Emperor’s hand approached. Count Yakuran roared in triumph and swung his drawn sword at the Emperor’s hand.
