Arcana Legend

True Power

"Do you want a duel?"

Ziruko was shocked by what Sygard said. He was full of confusion, whether to accept his challenge, or ignore it. However, Ziruko thought that accepting his challenge would give him a lot of benefits, that too if he won.

"Are kings allowed to duel?"

"Take it as an exercise."

"In that case, are we going to do it here."

"Eh. of course. I'll have my bodyguards ask the emperor for permission."

They both waited for news from the bodyguard sent by Sygard.

Moments later, the bodyguard came with news.

"King, this duel has already been approved by the emperor. You're allowed to use this place for duels."

"Thank you, my bodyguard" said Sygard.

They were both getting ready for a duel. This match was watched by several people in this palace. The emperor and his zodiac knight also came to see this duel.

The Emperor raised his hand and said, "the duel begins!"

Ziruko ran straight towards Sygard. However, Sygard showed no reaction whatsoever. His attitude was like he was looking down on Ziruko.

Ziruko outwitted Sygard, by jumping to the side and immediately kicking Sygard's back. But, Sygard swiftly held back the kick using his hand.

Ziruko immediately jumped again in the opposite direction and he did the same again. But Sygard managed to hold him back again. Ziruko only wanted to know the movements of his enemy.

"That's it..."

"What's the new king..What is this in your power?"

"Of course not, I just want to read your moves."

"Oh~~~ reality is like that or that's just an excuse."

"Whatever you say."

Ziruko jumped back. He kept his distance from Sygard. However, Sygard is still not interested in making a move.

Ziruko gathered gaia energy on both footstools. After that he quickly moved forward. This is a technique he uses often.

Ziruko then kicks, but can be held back by Sygard. Then Ziruko did a combo attack. Sygard held back his attack with both hands, and he was shifted until about 2 meters from where he came from.

"May also..but this ability alone is not enough to make you a king, is it?"

"Of course."

"Then, this time I'm the one who attacked ya."

Sygard immediately took a kick while jumping behind Ziruko. His kick can be held back by Ziruko, but after that Sygard hits Ziruko's back. Ziruko was hit by the attack.

"Damn, I'm not focused."

"I see, then accept my attack again."

Sygard is on a combo attack. The attack is described as a kick, kick, hit, kick, kick, hit, and so on.

Now Ziruko could withstand all his attacks.

"Then I will attack too."

Ziruko kicked Sygard, too. This causes the gaia friction phenomenon to occur. The effect of this friction causes a sparkling light around the friction area to occur.

"If this continues there will be no completion... right, Ziruko?"

"You're right too."

"Then, how about we use our arcana."

"Alright, but for that we keep our distance for a while."

"All right."

Ziruko immediately issued his arc as well as Sygard.

After finishing preparing, Sygard immediately attacked Ziruko. There was no sign of him using magic.

When it was close to Ziruko, Sygard's hand let out a fire.

"This is a short activation, so you'd be surprised if you don't know what my magic is yet, right?"

then Sygard chanted his magic spell. "The Dynamic Fire."

Ziruko did not have time to activate his magic. He had to hold it with his hand.

"Damn, it's a good thing I'm wearing these clothes."

Sygard returns to Ziruko. But now, it's different from what it was.

Ziruko made an ice wall in front of him. Sygard couldn't stop quickly, and he ended up crashing into that ice wall.

Sygard got back up, and he hit the ice wall. But, Ziruko was already getting ready. He turned his hand to Sygard.

"It's over. The Ice Rope."

Sygard's body could not move. He squirmed like he wanted to get out of this rope.

"It's over Sygard. Give up..."

"How come I can't get out?"

"Then give up..."

"Joking, you are so unlucky. The ice magic was weak against fire magic."

Ziruko backed away, away from Sygard. And Sygard managed to take off the ice magic that bound him by heating his hand using his fire magic.

"You're really unlucky. Then I'll end this quickly."

Sygard returns to Ziruko. He's doing a continuous combo attack. At first Ziruko was able to hold him back, but over time he could not resist his attacks.

Ziruko is constantly exposed to combo attacks from Sygard. He was thrown far away almost to the gate of the palace.

"It turns out you're strong too. But, to be honest, this duel reminds me of Hanzo. I was also injured like this."

"Eh~ so you've been hurt like this huh."

"I'm sorry, but I can't seem to have a serious fight with you."

"Do you insult me?"

Ziruko said that because his right hand felt broken as a result of holding back the attack from Sygard earlier. He immediately took a swing to attack Sygard.

"It looks like this will be the last attack. Ice Glacier."

Ziruko turned all the land surface he stepped on into ice. After that he ran, and he did a sliding. Sygard jumped, but that was what Ziruko expected.

Ziruko then took out the Ice Rope again. Sygard fell down, but he laughed.

"Are you that stupid, until you repeat the same way?"

"Of course I'm not stupid, right now I'm going to end it."

Sygard was again releasing flames in both hands. The fire is spreading to Ziruko.

"This is called a king. Your arcana is like it's not honed yet. Then you don't deserve to be king."

"So, I have to take care of my face huh. If so, there seems to be no other way."

Suddenly Ziruko's expression changed. The Eve around Ziruko also became very gloomy. Like a very strong smell.

From a distance the emperor was seen, and the zodiac knights were shocked. But, Sygard stood up again as if he did not care about the air that Ziruko let out. He immediately charged towards Ziruko.

Ziruko snapped the finger of his left hand and Sygard immediately crashed.

"So this is your real strength?"

"Yes, of course. As long as I start my journey I've never shown it to anyone. This is my true strength, my true pride."

Ziruko charged straight towards Sygard. He kicked him straight up into the sky. Sygard looked like he was flying, above him like he was using magic.

Not long after that he fell.

"I don't think I can fool around anymore. I have to end this, Ziruko!"

"Please if you can."

"The Ring of Fire."

Suddenly Ziruko was surrounded by flames, yet not blazing very large.

"Fire like this, can't beat me."

"Sorry Ziruko, we will fight again. Burn!!!!"

Instantly the fire around Ziruko grew and burned Ziruko.

Momo who saw the incident, immediately shouted to the emperor to stop this match.

"Emperor Luis, why don't you stop him. He could die."

"Just calm down, even if he receives a wound he won't die."

The zodiac knight swung the fan he was holding and extinguished the fire. The fire was also extinguished.
