Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master

Chapter 1807 A Fierce Battle

Obviously, Drew had no idea what just happened. He never anticipated that his armor, which was

actually his demonized skin, would be so frail and useless in front of Rocky's God-killing Sword.

While he started to lose consciousness, all he could do was staring at Rocky with regret and hatred in

his heart. Eventually, he fell to the ground, lifeless.

Then, upon seeing that Drew was already dead, Rocky withdrew the God-killing Sword.

At the same time, as they witnessed how Rocky was able to kill a Godly Genius with a single powerful

sword strike, both Jaiden and Colton were dumbfounded. They were so taken aback that they forgot to

respond quickly on the scene. Finally, when they regained their senses after a moment, they flew into

the battlefield, inspected Drew's corpse, and confirmed that he was indeed dead.

"I'm afraid I'll have to leave this mess up to you. We cannot risk alerting the other candidates by

exposing his true identity as a Godly Genius of the Shura Race, for the time being, so you'll need to

come up with a good excuse," Rocky said, looking at Colton with a serious expression.

"Yeah, I know that. However, I'm sure that people will still be suspicious of you." Colton knew that

Rocky's enemies were not that stupid. Hence, he was worried that there was still a huge possibility that

his identity might be revealed even if they covered this incident up.

"All they could do is be suspicious of me. After all, there is no evidence, so they can't accuse me of

anything. Moreover, Drew's death will actually be favorable for the other Godly Geniuses. I don't think

they will make a huge deal out of it," Rocky replied confidently, knowing how the selfish minds of the

Godly Geniuses worked.

Seeing how confident Rocky was, Colton and Jaiden believed him and started thinking of what to say

to the public afterward.

Eventually, Rocky left, leaving Colton and Jaiden on the stage.

Soon enough, the news that Drew was killed in the previous match already reached the ears of the

other Godly Geniuses. Of course, they were all flabbergasted by the fact that a second Godly Genius

died during this contest. Moreover, the mere fact that a Spiritual Emperor from the human race did it

made it more mind-boggling.

However, even though they could not believe it, Drew's death actually came as a great relief to the

other Godly Geniuses. It just meant that they had one less powerful enemy to deal with.

In fact, even Quentin, who had formed an alliance with Drew, did not feel any resentment upon knowing

his death. Instead, he hurriedly went to speak with Gloria the moment he heard the news.

"I know you have already heard. Drew is dead, so there is only you and me now," Quentin said with a

straight face, knowing that the situation would get even serious from here on.

"Well, if anything, I think it is good news. I did not like him because he had always been arrogant. I

could only say that he deserved this fate!" Gloria was quick to express her true feelings, adding insult

to injury.

"But more importantly, I never expected that two Godly Geniuses would die during this contest. It

seems that we have underestimated the strength of the Spiritual Emperors from the human race and

the spiritual race. In particular, that Basil turned out to be pretty powerful..." Quentin narrowed his eyes,

deeming that Rocky was going to be a formidable opponent.

"Ha-ha! What's with that expression? Don't tell me you're afraid of him?" Gloria sneered at Quentin,

mocking him for being so wary of a mere human.

"Ha! Are you kidding me? Why would I be afraid of him? If anything, I am eager to meet him on the

battlefield. I want to know how capable he truly is!" Quentin immediately regained his arrogant self and

answered with his chin held high.

"Are you sure that's a good idea? I think that's exactly what Drew did. Maybe, it's better for you to just

give up the fight when you face him. If you die in his hands, then it will be already too late to regret it!"

Gloria gave a piece of advice while letting out a cunning smile.

"Humph! By the way, why the hell did he give up without even fighting you? If he's that strong, there is

no need for him to forfeit the match. Was he really seduced by you? Or did he do it on purpose?" All of

a sudden, Quentin stared at Gloria with inquisitive eyes upon remembering how Rocky immediately

gave up even before the match between him and Gloria started. At first, everyone thought that Rocky

was just simply bewitched by Gloria's alluring beauty, but now, it seemed that it wasn't the case.

"Well, I don't know either. Maybe he has really fallen for me, so he didn't have the heart to see me

hurt." Although Gloria tried to sound so indifferent, she was also wondering what was running in on

Rocky's mind. It was clear that he was not affected by her enchantment skill, and after what happened

with Drew, she knew that she had underestimated Rocky's ability.

"Hey, do you think you can find an opportunity to assassinate him? He might turn out to be a big trouble

if we don't take care of him right away!" Quentin said after thinking for a while.

"What? No! I am not going to do that. If you want him dead, then kill him by yourself. I'm not stupid

enough to take that risk," Gloria retorted, flat-out refusing Quentin.

"Oh, so you are scared of this human?" Quentin teased, trying to provoke her into doing what he

wanted.

"Ha! Aren't you the scared one? Why not do it yourself?" Gloria snapped back, fully knowing what

Quentin was thinking.

Hearing this, Quentin could just let out a frown. He might say that he was not scared of facing Rocky,

but he knew that it was indeed too risky. After all, this human was capable of killing Drew, a powerful

Godly Genius.

"Anyway, I have already decided to give up fighting for the championship in this contest." Out of

nowhere, Gloria revealed something so unexpected.

"What? Why?" Of course, Quentin was surprised and confused at the same time.

"Well, there might have been a chance for me to win the final battle if I only had to deal with Israel. But

now that Basil also emerged as someone capable of taking down Godly Geniuses, even if I use the

secret skill of the Genie Fief, I am still not sure if I could defeat them. If I know that I am in a

disadvantageous and dangerous position, what's the point of continuing? In the end, it might all be in

vain." In fact, Gloria was smart to make this decision. Another reason why she chose to give up was

that she thought of taking advantage of Rocky. To be more specific, she planned on using Rocky to

defeat or kill the other Godly Geniuses. At the same time, she could just watch from the sidelines and

still get what she wanted without getting involved at all.

Then, realizing that Gloria was serious and that she had already made up her mind, Quentin deemed

that it was useless to convince her anymore. With that, he eventually left.

After the unexpected incident that happened in the tenth round, the Di Clan announced a fabricated

investigation result. They said that since Drew had obviously practiced some evil skill that led to his

transformation and going insane during the match, the result became inevitable.

Although it was a little far-fetched, no one really dared to question the credibility of the investigation.

Moreover, even the candidates did not seem to be bothered by it.

Since one of the candidates became disabled and the other died, there were candidates in the next

rounds who won by default. However, at this point, it did not really have a significant impact on the final

ranking.

Then, after the fourteenth round, the top four Spiritual Emperors were already decided. Israel came out

on top after winning all of the fourteen matches, and Rocky placed second. Israel's last opponent was

Rocky.

The other two candidates, who entered the final battle, were Valeria and Quentin.

Before the last four rounds of the competition, the two Godly Geniuses were still tied to some of the

high-grade Spiritual Emperors in terms of ranking. Hence, they were forced to exhibit their real strength

in order to defeat their remaining opponents and secure the slots for the final battle.

Since the results of the fifteenth round did not really have an effect on the final ranking, the candidates,

who had no chance of making it to the final battle, already conceded and did not risk being injured.

As for the match between Israel and Rocky, it did not turn out as what the crowd was expecting. Since

Israel had already secured his position in the final battle, he offered to shake hands with Rocky at the

start of the match. He knew that Rocky's strength was more than what everyone could see, so it would

be foolish of him to fight seriously when there was nothing at stake. Besides, even if he won or lost this

match, he would still be ranked first. Hence, he decided that he should just prepare for the final battle This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

instead of wasting his time fighting Rocky.

Because of this, the last round of the battles came to an end without anything grand happening.

Afterward, the top four candidates would participate in the semifinals. They would draw lots beforehand

and would fight one-on-one. Then, the two winners in the semifinals would enter the final battle.

Before the semifinals commenced, Rocky appeared to Valeria as Odin to remind her that she did not

need to force herself too much. Depending on the outcome of the drawing of lots, she might have to

fight against Israel or Quentin. Rocky knew that she was too competitive and hated losing, so he had to

warn her to keep a cool head.

Then, two days later, the day of the semifinals finally came.

Since the slot for the championship round would be decided in this battle, all of the four candidates

would only have one chance. Thus, they had no choice but to go all out.

At this moment, Rocky, Valeria, Quentin, and Israel were already standing on the battlefield, preparing

themselves for the draw.

At the same time, the venue was overflowing with onlookers. After all, they had been expecting to

witness a fierce and magnificent battle in just a few moments.
