"That is all she wrote! That was the king of the deep caves test! The warrior known for magical archery has proved that they are not just some useless archers. The dwarves value up close and personal combat just as the demi-humans do. We are similar but earning the respect if an opponent is supposed to be up close and personal. Not only have you see the bonds of our races strengthen today, but we have seen a king offer his aid to another as a warrior."
Scyla seemed to know more of what the hidden intentions had been to this battle than Gil had grasped. Not only was this used to show off skills, but it had been used to bring the elves and dwarves closer. It said that the dwarves would not deny the elves because of their differences. It showed that they would accept them if they came face to face with blunt honesty.
The king of the middle had left without another wave or word. He entered a private waiting room where the crowd's loud cheers were unheard. "So, you seem to have come back in rougher shape. When was the last time you tested someone like that? When was the last time you took damage like that?"
The king of the deep caves had been waiting. He watched carefully from the unseen shadows of the tunnel. He wanted to see just what his fellow king had planned. "I hate to say it. I am rusty. I have let myself go weak while sitting in those meetings. On that throne. Someone so young was able to surprise me and I even underestimated him."
This had been a serious wake up call for the king of the middle. However, he would not allow any to see it.
"Then come down for a few weeks with me. We have run through some cave systems while carving the underground trade route. I would not mind the help clearing them. It will allow me to feed my little pet." The king of the deep caves knew that he could focus on his own strength and values if he dropped the work on the king of the middle. This turned in to a long argument between the two but one that showed just how much they actually cared about each other as fellow kings.
"List carefully. Listen closely. We have my very own King Rorick entering the arena. He has trained for countless years. Mastered the art of the sword. Defeated every general within his army. He is the demi-human king who united and protected multiple monster races and soon to be monster races recognized by the world!"
Scylla could not help but raise the crowd's excitement with her introduction of king Rorick. She had idolized him in battle and also been protected by him before. She held him too high for showing her the home she could build within the demi-human society. Without him and his guidance she would never be in the place she was today.
"Look here, this is the heroic party leader. The one and only, Walker. He has claimed multiple titles. Gained access to every elemental mana. He has even stood as a pillar of what someone with unique thinking can achieve even though their strength may be lower than others! Show him your appreciation and marvel in his power!" the crowd roared. Walker felt that he would have a harder time wandering the streets now.
"It has been a while since we last spoke properly. I hope to see what you have to offer here." Rorick was more than happy to be the one that tested Walker's skills.
'I already told you I would go all out. I can only use this skill for a very short time. But here in front of everyone and against you? I will. There are others with even higher expectations of me." Walker knew he would regret the after effects of using this skill. He already knew he was not ready to do so just yet.
As if they were receiving a hidden message, Su and Midnight appeared from one of the tunnels looking at Walker. They could sense the mana gathering around him. Even more, Fleur left the spirit mark and entered the floating eternal ob. In a burst of natural mana, the stored mana seemed to condense around Walker.
"There is no need to hold back today. The two will battle and show you their skills to a higher degree than even you know. The battle you witness may be short. It may seem small. But this battle can shake the foundations of this entire city. Now let them hear your excitement to start!" Scylla's words brought a roar that made Walker feel he was deaf.
With The mana in turmoil around them, Rorick dashed forward to put pressure on Walker. However, he didn't expect to feel the push of wind against him. What he saw forming behind Walker made him step to the side.
The elemental wings forming dense. The broken pieces of the arena started to float up around them. None had even noticed the cracks form. Flames were pulled from the now altered torches which shouldn't have allowed their fire to be taken away. Even the shadows and the light started to condense around Walker. Finally, water started to condensate and attack together the earth that formed around Walker.
"I can only use the elemental dragon aspect for a few moments. Be ready!" Walker ended in a massive roar that caused the elemental mana to react even more violently. It was a force of nature being unleashed as a large dragon head rose from where Walker stood. The wings that arched out behind him cast shadows to block the sun. The tail that rested on the ground was enough to slap away large enemies. The crowd was in silence.
