Chaos Devourer System

45  Semi-Finals

"Let the Lucky card choosing for the Semi-Finals begin." The announcer's loud voice reverberated through the entire space as the Lucky Card Choosing event began.

Zeras picked up the card and written on it was a name...

"The fighters for this Semi-Finals are Zeras Celestria Vs Amedeo Sponge and Raiain Octopile Vs Sammodra Zean.

The winner of this fight will then proceed to the finals which will decide who the King of Atlantis will be.

"With that said, let the Semi-final stage begin." Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Zeras cracked his neck as he slowly descended onto the battle stage. Opposite him was the burly Amedeo with his silver trident as he looked at Zeras smiling mockingly.

"You know kid, the weak will always have excuses and will crookedly advance only to be beaten down to the abyss by the real strong." Amedeo said but a mocking smirk appeared on Zeras face as he got into a battle stance.

"Coming into the battle stage without an armor, you really are damn cocky aren't you. Don't concede quickly, ok?"

"Ready, Goooooo!"

Zeras eyes immediately went extremely cold as he pressed off the ground slamming his trident forward with force. Shockwaves emerged from the point of collision, as he was sent skidding back three steps while Amedeo was sent four steps backwards.

Amedeo eyes immediately widened as his mocking smirk disappeared from his lips.

"I...I lost in brute strength..."

Without even giving him time to think, Zeras immediately lung forward as he slashed with speed, infusing strength into the weapon so much Amedeo's hands quivered with every strike.

The crowd couldn't believe as the so-called lucky chap could compete with Amedeo in strength which was his fort.

Amedeo eyes widened as his mind went haywire. All his life, he had always believed and relied on his strength and thought he was unrivaled but now he was getting matched by a young chap.

His confidence in himself was waning as ge was immediately put in a self-defense position, but Zeras smile only widened even more as he increased his slashing speed even more.

He was aware of something about most of those who are physically strong.They develop their focus mainly on their physical strength but once that got defeated, they immediately become frantic as the confidence they've build in all the years immediately wane.

Zera's trident slammed forward with apocalyptic might as Amedeo immediately placed his trident horizontally, but Zera's trident motion suddenly stopped before moving upwards and slashing a straight line on Amedeo's face as blood emerged staining his eyes.

Zeras immediately slammed his trident on Amedeo's successfully disarming him as he knocked the trident out of his hands.

Amedeo immediately tried grabbing his trident when a trident suddenly appeared close to his neck as his motion immediately stopped.

Looking at Zera's cold eyes which screamed of killing intent, he resigned himself to fate

"I concede."

Zeras smiled as if he had tried anything funny even though his trident was on his neck, then he would have immediately dug it into his head.

The battle ended extremely quickly as the crowd were shocked by the dark horse of the competition.

"Second battle: Sammodra Zean Vs Raiain Octopile."

Both of them slowly descended as Zeras watch the battle unfolds. He could see Sammodra didn't use the golden energy attack that he used before and actually got physical with his opponent.

Even though the merman was very fast and that was his fort, Sammodra easily kept up to him and then defeated him with brute-strength knocking his opponent out cold.

He slowly rose up from the battle stage as he finally took a good look at Zeras.

Zeras gaze was as blank as ever as he stared into Sammodra's golden eyes unflinchingly.

A smirk appeared on Sammodra's face, but it wasn't one of respect but of disdain.

"It seems we finally have the contestant for the finals. We will give the contestants a two hours rest before the next stage." The announcer said as Zeras moved into the crowd their gaze following him, a slight hope in their eyes.

'What damn tradition.' Zeras thought as he couldn't help but take notice of the Atlantis weird ways. The strongest person to become the king? It just sounded like a bad idea to him, but it wasn't to the Athlantheans who believed in the strongest person having the purest bloodline.

Arriving before the old man, both of them looked at Sammodra who sat down with his eyes closed far-away.

The old man looked at Zeras but he was surprised when he saw he was deadly calm and no sign of nervousness could be seen on him.

"Do you think you have chance?" The old man asked.

"It will be a tough fight. Very tough fight..." Zeras replied as he looked at the old man.

He neither said yes nor no. But it excited the old man instead as he took note of Zeras in his head

'He's very calm and strangely not arrogant.'

But only if the man knew how hard Zeras heart was pounding, but he kept it all behind a blank face to hide it away.

Looking at the system notification panel

2 hours later...

"Citizens of Athlantheans, we have arrived at the competition finals and our contestants are Sammodra Zean and Zeras Celestria.

This is a battle to determine who the King of Atlantis would be. This is a battle of Faith." The announcer voice rang throughout out the space as Zeras slowly descended onto the battle stage.

Holding his silver trident uprightly, a gaze showdown sparked off between him and Sammodra as they stood opposite the battle stage.

While the whole of Atlantis thought this is a battle to determine the king. The old man think this is a battle to prevent the destruction of Atlantis.

Sammodra thought this is a battle for him to finally inherit the power of Atlas Golden Trident while to Zeras this was a battle to determine his entry into The EIA and grow his strength.

You guys better grab that popcorn as things will soon get loud soon.
