My Space-Time System

With the end of Luciano's match, the first round of the final event was concluded.

The remaining contestants were given high-quality mana regenerating potions and a 1-hour break to prepare for the next round.

"I would have loved to use this time to fill my stomach with something delicious, but I am afraid that it would make me feel heavy for the next fight." Blake let out a helpless sigh.

[The only thing you think about is food?] The system scoffed.

'There is nothing else to think about, I am done planning countermeasures for everyone.' Blake said to the system but he suddenly turned to see Lucas walk up to him.

"Don't you think you look too happy for someone that is about to lose?" Lucas said with a smirk on his face.

"Lose to who, you?" Blake burst out in laughter, annoying Lucas and making him wonder what was giving him so much confidence.

'Didn't he watch my match against Serhan? Even if he didn't, he should have heard about the blazing falcon from his friends.' Lucas thought.

"I just hope we meet in the next round so that I can put you in your place." Lucas said with a disgusted look on his face.

"Above you right? Because if I remember correctly I have won you in basically everything so far." Blake said with a smirk that left Lucas tongue-tied. He had never had someone talk to him like this, and it wasn't as if Blake was wrong either.

With nothing else to say, Lucas stormed off causing Blake to chuckle.

'It feels good getting into people's heads.' Blake thought with a smirk plastered on his face.

…

After the 1 hour break time was over, the draw for the next round began.

The first face that appeared on the screens of the viewers was Lucas, and just a few seconds later Blake also appeared.

'After our battle is over he would regret that his wish came through.' Blake said to Ebony and Ivory causing them to roar in happiness in his mind.

As for the second match it was between Castiel and Luciano, and everyone knew what the outcome would be.

With the draws over, Blake and Lucas made their way to the platform that carried them to the center of the battlefield

"Begin!" Without wasting time, the host announced the start of the 1st match of the 2nd round.

'I would have loved to make him pay by showing him that he is nothing but a peasant, but I have to save my mana for the battle against Luciano.' Lucas thought.

The royal family had a rule that none of their trained beasts or artifacts was allowed to be used against other members of the royal family, especially in competitions. Meaning he wouldn't be able to use the blazing falcon against Luciano.

On raising his right hand, the ring on his middle finger lit up and the king rank blazing hawk flew out.

Kee-eeeee-arr!

The hawk screamed as it flew high in the air and spread its massive wings.

"Nice bird you've got there." Blake said as he threw Ebony and Ivory into the air.

'Is he surrendering?' Lucas as well as the rest of the crowd were confused by Blake's action.

The greatsword split into two and just as they were about to touch the ground, a fire and ice explosion broke out from the swords.

ROAR!

Booming roars that sent chills down the spine of even demigods were heard all around the arena.

When the smoke and frost cleared the crowd saw two 5-meter tall king rank beasts. One had pitch black fur with glowing red tattoos all around its body, while the other had snow white fur with glowing blue tattoos.

Ebony had a savage look as it continuously grunted at the blazing hawk, while Ivory was calm but emitted a bone-chilling aura.

"The reports never said anything about him having 2 King rank beasts!" Nobles and even counselors were confused by the scene that just took place.

"Sir he had always had the sword since his 1st year, but the beasts had never been spotted."

They were all wondering how he got his hands on the sword in the first place, and were tempted to ask for another background check but that was when they all turned to Bryon's booth.

Blake receiving the sword from Bryon was the only explanation, but it now made them feel that their descendants were underprepared even though they had been given different powerful artifacts.

…

'I can't lose just like that.' Lucas thought as his confusion turned to anger.

'I should still be able to take him down!' Lucas thought with a newfound resolve as he summoned a purple armor.

Lucas' parents knew that the chances of winning the regional competition were very slim. So they were banking on him winning the last event. That was why they had given him 2 powerful artifacts.

The 2 artifact was the purple armor with the ability to quadruple the power of all of the user's elements.

"Attack!" Lucas ordered the blazing hawk as he began casting both fire and water spells.

Kee-eeeee-arr!

The blazing hawk dived at both Ebony and Ivory, but a roar from Ebony immediately caused it to change direction.

"What the fuck?!" Lucas, as well as Blake and everyone in the arena, were confused by what just happened.

'What just happened?' Blake couldn't help but ask.

[Not sure but it is either afraid of Ebony or it has something to do with pathway suppression.] The system said.

'I thought pathway suppression had to affect only those lower in realm?' Blake asked.

[Yes, but I can't see any other explanation because if it was afraid it would have attacked in the first place.] The system explained.
