The Villain's Story

Chapter 447 [446] Destined Duel!

[Welcome to the 50th floor, Trial of Destined Duel.]

I was dropped face-flat onto a hard floor.

‘The hell..?’

As I stood up to recollect myself, I found myself to be in the middle of a stage, made completely of a dense, and hard material. Four pillars were erected in the corners and there was nothing else but a barren land beyond.

“What the hell…”

I stood up, examining the stage, however I found nothing special about it other than it was made from a strong material. It had no mana conductivity…It was just really fucking strong.

I could finally feel my body again, And when I confirmed I was finally back in my own body…I asked the tower.

“What is the purpose of this floor?”

A blue display appeared before me.

[Trial of Destined Duel! Fight against your destiny and see who wins!]

That was it, that short sentence was all this damned tower would give me.

“WHAT THE F-?!”

With a scream, Another person experienced the same fate as me, which was falling face flat into the hard floor. That other person was Elijah Ardor. .𝒎

“What the hell…”

He stood up, covering his bleeding nose and his eyes fell upon me.

“Alan…”

A metallic voice resounded throughout the floor.

[Alan Peccator and Elijah Ardor…Fight each other and determine the one who will pass on the next floor!]

“…”

“…”

We looked at one another, almost instinctively taking out our weapons.

He took out his sword, and coated it in fire, and I took out my spear, and got into position.

However, we did not start just yet.

“I saw what happened…”

Elijah opened his mouth and said, I looked at him with confusion?

‘Saw? wait…’

Ah, I know now. The tower did the same to him as well huh… Showing him my memories.

But how much did it show? Everything about Aranus, James and me? If so…then I’m worried.

I may have to kill Elijah so that information does not go out. Although I trust that he won’t reveal it…it’s still a threat.

“Your sister.”

However, his next words were quite unexpected.

“She was suffering from the curse as well..”

“…”

So he saw that instead huh…Well this will make it easier for both of us.

He has his brother to cure, whilst I have my little sister.

Both of have something tremendous to lose if we don’t get that cure.

“If you saw it…Then bring it.”

I said, urging him on. I cannot afford to waste another second. The more I waste time here, my sister suffers. And?Elijah should know it’s the same for him as well.

And yet, he still didn’t make the first move, He simply stood there with an apprehensive gaze.

“Hah…”

This bastard doesn’t want to fight.

“Fine…”

If he doesn’t… Then I will initiate it.

[Skill: Teleportation has been used.]

*********

[Capitol, Academic Convergence.]

“The broadcast is up! The broadcast is back up!”

News spread like wildfire the moment when the Tower’s broadcast, which was down for the previous few days suddenly turned on again, and showcased that both Alan and Elijah were at the fiftieth floor! The Fiftieth floor!

“Both of them!”

“They’re fighting with one another???”

However, this also brought forth an immense amount of confusion. Seeing Alan and Elijah going at each with full force, using every skill they had at their disposal in order to best one another.

[Everyone please calm down…As you can see the tower broadcast and our streaming systems are back. Please enjoy your time. Of course Alan and Elijah are fighting because it has to do with something belonging to the trial. Please just sit back and enjoy. Those who wish to see the battle fest can do that as well.]

The battle fest was also going on at this time…However the people’s reactions were just as expected.

“Who cares about the battle fest or whatever?!”

“Yeah! Shield’s top two are going at one another.”

“Why would we wanna miss that?!”

Instead of going over to the other arenas and watching the other students duke it out…A large portion of the people, who had already paid for the battle fest’s tickets were migrating towards the Tower of Trial’s arena, even paying again and pushing and thrashing one another to get a seat.

The competing students…were a little disheartened but who cared about them.”

“…”

Serena, who was ready in her stadium, sighed.

She fired a skill towards her opponent, and immediately knocked the poor soul out, The referee announced her win.

“Serena Soubuelle! Winner!”

“Fuck off.”

She dismissed the referee coming to congratulate her and walked away, going to her personal room in order to watch the Tower of Trial’s event.

How could she miss her darling fighting the devil?

“Winner! Sabrina Wellington!”

Meanwhile, in another stadium. Sabrina as well took out her opponent quite quickly, and sighed.

“So he’s back huh?”

She asked herself, looking at the broadcast through her watch. Seeing Alan again did put a smile on her face. After all, he was gone for a lot of days.

“Well…Let’s go see then.”

She too, went over to the Wellington’s room in order to spectate. Like many of Shield’s rankers who were acquainted with the two. They knew how amazing of a fight it would be!

Would Elijah lose just like last time? In an instant? One hit KO?!

Or would he actually win against the beast that was Alan Peccator?! For those who had spectated their previous match…Of course they would want to know!

Both Alan and Elijah had grown stronger…Going against Life and Death battles in the convergence with Hero Academy and the dreadful Aror city destruction Incident?!

The battle fest area, for the first time in forever was left completely barren of an audience…The only people here were the students rushing to defeat one another and win as soon as possible so that they could to go spectate the fight.
