Arcana Legend

Duel Started!!! Ziruko vs Alsen

When they arrived at the inn, there was no one in the living room. Ziruko thinks they might still be looking for Azalea.

A few minutes later they arrived. Mizu suddenly came towards me while revealing an angry expression.

"Ziroko!!! you are, I am really worried about Azalea. But, why are you even staying here making out with Azalea."

"I'm not making fun of you."

Suddenly Azalea saw an expression that mocked Mizu.

"You're right Mizu, I made out with Ziruko."

"So that's right."

"Ziruko let me hug her."

"Is that really Ziruko?"

I didn't answer Mizu's question.

"There's more to it than that."

"What's Ziruko."

"I challenge the duel of the Gladiator Guild leader."

"What's? have you gone crazy? he's the gladiator king."

"I care, though. I did this to guarantee Aza's safety."

"Why indeed?"

"So Aza became the target of the Gladiator Guild members."

"Keep exactly what the work of the imperial members is. They did not follow up on the guild in charge arbitrarily."

"Definitely not worry about me. I can definitely win against him."

After that Ziruko decided to go to bed.

The next day...

Ziruko's premonition this time also felt bad. It seems Mizu slept in her place again.

"Mizu, get out before Aza comes."

"Open your eyes, Ziruko, it's not Mizu."

"Aza, what are you doing here?"

"I made sure Mizu didn't come in here."

Suddenly Mizu came.

"Oh so now Azalea has the courage to sleep with Ziruko."

Ziruko immediately got out of his bed and decided to practice in the backyard of the inn.

He's training with Mizu. Mizu is a fighter who relies on speed, while Ziruko relies more on strength.

This training is perfect for training my reflexes in fending off enemy attacks.

Mizu continued throwing three knives at Ziruko. He kept running to the left and right. Sometimes Ziruko can't see Mizu because he's so quick.

Day after day he went through training with Mizu every morning.

Time passed by so quickly, today was a promised day.

Ziruko said goodbye to all of them, and went straight to the Colosseum in Central City.

They said they were going to watch the duel with the Gladiator Guild leader.

On the way there many people who talk about the duel between Ziruko and Alsen.

They are attracted to Ziruko because of rumors about him who managed to defeat the ogre and defeat the minotaur. So, they think the Alsen duel this time will be very interesting.

Arriving at the Colosseum Ziruko went straight into the waiting room of duel participants.

He saw there was Alsen who was ready to wear his armor.

While Ziruko only wears the clothes he usually wears, plus the iron plate he uses on his chest. Alsen looked at Ziruko, and he immediately approached Ziruko.

"Ziruko, are you insulting me? how dare you fight me without using any protection."

"I'm not used to using that heavy armor, it's better. I'd be more free to wear clothes like this."

"Well, whatever you use, the winner is already determined from the beginning. Don't blame me if you die."

"You expected it, yeah, great. You must think I'm the winner."

"I don't feel stupid, I feel smart. Maybe I'll beat you without using a gun."

"It's so arrogant of you."

"Can't you use a weapon during a duel???"

"As long as you're not lying on the ground, you can still duel. You're not going to use a gun?"

"So yes, it turns out the rules are not as complicated as I imagined. And of course I'll use my weapon."

"Why are you asking this?"

"Actually, I'm not used to using guns. So in anticipation I ask you this first."

"Here you go, the fight's in a minute. Remember, if you lose Azalea will be mine."

"Let's just not calm I'm going to lose. And will never give Azalea to you."

"The news about Azalea at stake is widespread, so there might be an imperial family coming to watch."

"really? maybe his sister's here too."

"If you win, there's a chance Azalea will be brought home by the imperial family."

Suddenly the sound of a trumpet sounded. The sign of the duel will begin.

"Let's have a fair duel, Ziruko!"

"Yes." Yeah."

Alsen was called by commentators.

"Today's game will be very stressful. Our first fighter is the one who never loses a duel, who else if not Alsen!!!"

At once the audience was enthusiastic to give applause.

"And who challenged him this time was someone who reportedly managed to repel the ogre army and also managed to defeat the minotaurs, Ziruko!!!"

Ziruko went straight into the arena. Many people applauded him, but not as much as Alsen.

"Let's start.. three. two.

Alsen immediately charged towards Ziruko. But, he managed to fend off his endless attacks.

"You're quick to respond too, Ziruko. But I haven't put all my abilities into it."

"Just calm down, I haven't unleashed my powers either."

Ziruko simply continued to fend off and dodge the Alsen attacks, Ziruko still looking for a gap from the Alsen defense.

He is also analyzing Alsen's movements. In hindsight Alsen attacked without thinking, so it was hard to guess what he would do next.

Ziruko managed to find a slight gap.

As Alsen pointed the sword at Ziruko, he immediately dodged and somersaulted behind Alsen.

But he managed to read Ziruko's movements. Alsen immediately repelled his attack.

Now that Ziruko looked overwhelmed, Alsen continued to attack blindly. Maybe Ziruko should wait until his stamina runs out.

"One time loser you only dared to attack me from behind."

"This is my tactic, I don't uphold such a principle."

Suddenly Alsen retreated away from Ziruko. Alsen raised his sword up.

Ziruko looked puzzled by Alsen's behavior, perhaps he would bring out a sword technique. What is certain is that Ziruko must get ready.

Suddenly the audience cheered, saying "let's beat him with one punch!!!"

Ziruko was just waiting for him until he was done. He wanted to see what technique Alsen wanted to use.

Suddenly Alsen's sword let out a light, he pointed his sword at Ziruko. After that, Alsen drove very fast towards Ziruko. Ziruko tried to resist his attack with his sword.

His attack was so powerful, he would not be able to endure it any longer. But, if he stopped resisting this attack, this attack would hit him.

"Aren't you able to hold him Ziruko?"

"Just relax, I believe in this sword of my pride."

"If you believe too much, when you're betrayed you'll feel hurt."

"Actually that word of yours, has nothing to do with this."

Unexpected things happen, unwanted things come true. Ziruko was shocked, the sword of his pride that he had been using all this time was broken by Alsen's attack.

"Are you going to give up, Ziruko?"
