Chapter 637: Crown Prince
Martial King Realm, the Battlefield of Four Kingdoms.
"They are going at it again, giggle~!"
The ladies and gents of the West Kingdom gathered around the circular battlefield that was surrounded by towering walls adorned with banners of each kingdom’s crest.
"Destroy him!"
Across from them, ladies and gents of the South Kingdom were cheering for their prince with excitement.
At the middle of the battlefield, two young men rushed at each other, and their fists came into a contact with a resounding thud.
"You West trash are losing today!"
With a grin, the prince of the South Kingdom, Raiun, reeled back his fist, dodged the fist of his opponent, and then responded with a wild hook.
"You South people are arrogant as always, haha!"
A gray-haired man with a handsome face grinned in response and hurled his fist over at Raiun’s face.
"Mastered Iron Style, Iron Smash!"
Raiun put up his cross guard. The guard blocked the punch. Yet, the ground behind him exploded and cracked like ice.
Kiernan and Raiun looked at each other with grins. They reeled back their fists. They then started hammering each other with punches.
SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! SMACK!
Thousands of punches were thrown in an instant, and neither of them backed away. Not now. Not ever.
"Prince Kiernan, you can do it!"
The ladies of the West Kingdom cheered for their lovely prince. They were all beautiful and charming with dresses that sparkled in the sunlight.
"You can do it, Lord Kiernan. Show these South trash that the West are superior!"
The young men of West Kingdom clenched their fists and cheered in unison. They were also nobles of the West Kingdom and were close friends of the crown prince, Kiernan.
"Lord Raiun, you can do it!"
"Don’t back away now!"
The young men and women of the South Kingdom cheered for their very own crown prince while he was having his daily fight with Kiernan at this point.
The rivalry between the crown prince of the South and the West Kingdom had already become legendary. Each day, they would meet in the Battlefield of the Four Kingdoms to battle for supremacy.
In that moment, Kiernan slipped past Raiun’s guard and landed a blow at his face. It sent him flying backward like a cannonball.
"Ptui!"
Raiun coughed blood, but in that moment, his eyes shrank, and he started growing scales from underneath his skin.
In that moment, he turned into an enormous dragon. Like a mountain given life. Jagged stone-like scales covered his hide, embedded with crystals, ores, and moss.
His horns curled like ridges of stone, and his eyes glowed with a molten fire. The brown earth-like scales ran down hisback, with patches of green moss growing in between.
"ROAR!"
The Earth Dragon roared like a mighty earthquake. It caused jagged mountains to rise from the ground.
Kiernan jumped to avoid the mountains and weaved through them like a skilled acrobat.
’Raiun, the crown prince of the South Kingdom, has the Transformation type of Earth Dragon. It’s indeed an amazing ability.
’However, these six months that I’ve been stuck in the Martial King Realm, I’ve not slacked, and I’ve further mastered my own Martial Ability!’
In that moment, a black-clothed outfit draped over Kiernan’s broad-shouldered figure. It made him look even more handsome than he already was.
"It’s Crown Prince Kiernan’s ability!"
"This is getting really good now!"
With a large grin on his face, Kiernan jumped off the ground. Boom! The ground exploded underneath him like a volcano erupting in the distance.
He leaped high into the air. Even higher than Raiun during his Earth Dragon form, as he was still stuck in the ground with his large wings spread wide.
"Mastered Iron Style!"
Kiernan shouted, and in that moment, he formed a fist with his right hand, and in that moment, red and yellow light burst forth from his palm.
It surrounded his fist like a glowing ball, and it turned hot. Really hot. As if his fist were currently the sun itself!
"High Supernova!"
Kiernan punched down.
A beam of concentrated sun energy rained down and struck the Earth Dragon directly in the chest.
BOOM!
With a painful roar, Earth Dragon exploded, and a large mushroom cloud explosion stretched across the entire battlefield.
The ground under Earth Dragon turned into a massive crater.
"ROAR!"
In that moment, Earth Dragon’s breath of molten rock shot out of the mushroom cloud explosion and headed towards Kiernan.
Anyone hit by the breath of molten rock would melt into nothing but a pile of ash.
"Mastered Iron Style, High Dominion!"
Kiernan squeezed his fist tight and punched through the breath of molten rock. It was punch that defied gravity itself.
The punch went cleanly through and destroyed the dangerous breath of molten rock.
At that moment, the flapping of enormous wings was heard, and the Earth Dragon took off into flight.
The large wings had difficulty carrying the Earth Dragon’s massive form but were still capable of doing that.
Because of High Supernova attack, the Earth Dragon’s scales were destroyed, and most of its body was left exposed and vulnerable.
"You will lose today, KIERNAN!"
Raiun’s voice came from the Earth Dragons’ mouth.
"True Iron Style, Hunter Sovereignty Roar!"
Kiernan took a deep breath. Then he let out a roar that was even louder than that of the Earth Dragons.
Stunned!
Raiun’s Earth Dragon form stopped flapping its wings. It was frozen like a statue. He started falling, and eventually crashed into the ground.
"Hahahaha!"
In that moment, Kiernan fell straight towards him with a grin on his face, and he threw yet another punch.
"Mastered Iron Style, Iron Smash Breaker!"
"ROAR!"
Raiun hurled the dragon’s enormous fist to meet his fist. The enormous fist met with a human-sized fist.
Surprisingly, the outcome wasn’t what most people expected.
Iron Smash Breaker smashed through the dragon’s fist, shattering and breaking it like a fragile piece of glass.
Kiernan landed back on the ground, and Raiun slowly turned back into his human form with blood trickling down the corner of his mouth.
After the long and bloody fight, it didn’t look like either of them was really that injured and could keep fighting for much longer.
"Ptui! We continue this another day!"
Raiun said angrily and started heading away with the rest of the South Kingdom folks, and Kiernan just grinned before turning to his friends, who were cheering for him.
"See you later, Kiernan~"
The princess of the South Kingdom said with a giggle, and her brother, Raiun, looked at her angrily and pulled at her ear before dragging her away with him.
