Ancient Empire Calendar Year 1810
The day after the battle between Rucardo and Xanros, all students of the Blood Academy gathered in the coliseum to watch the battle between the senior class leader Seth and the fourth class leader Arlous
Unlike the battle between Ricardo and Xanros, there would be no switching sides in this battle
Neither Seth nor Arlous had done anything to earn their peers' enmity
There were a thousand soldiers on each side, the battle would last ten rounds, the survivors would be rewarded, the losers would die
Both sides had one goal: to kill the leader of the other side
Seth and Arlous had placed their most trusted men at the head of each regiment
Another purpose of these battles was to test the commander and strategy skills of the Heir candidates
Kisrael, the Headmaster of the Blood Academy, gave a short speech and called the leaders of both sides to his side
As many expected, Seth and Arlous pointed their swords at each other and the battle began
Kisrael told the troops to get ready
The commander of the first regiment from Seth's battalion, Xavier Xanrox, and the commander of the first regiment from Arlous' battalion, Luke Jeyvins, moved towards the center to fight the first battle
Both sides took their positions, Kisrael raised his sword
"Do you have any last words?" he asked
Both sides remained silent, Kisrael lowered his sword and the battle began, the mages wasted no time in casting spells
The warriors used their auras to the fullest, some for protection, some for attack
The first attack came from Luke, he attacked the enemy lines with incredible speed, he cut and tore into pieces whoever came in front of him with his sword
Xavier cast a leaping spell and jumped high, set his sights on the wizards, cast a dash spell, this spell allowed him to move somewhere while in the air
Xavier quickly attacked the wizards with a dash spell, cast a speed spell and slaughtered all the wizards in seconds
Luke broke through the lines and moved towards the center when he heard one of his men's voices
"Commander, our wizards have been slaughtered"
Luke, who was momentarily distracted by these words, turned around and saw his wizards lying lifeless and their limbs cut off on the ground, he went mad with anger, he did not take his eyes off Xavier
At that moment, a young man attacked from behind and split Luke's back from one end to the other. Luke fell to the ground in pain and a few of his men killed the soldier who had injured him and saved their commander.
Xavier's wizards completed their spells and attacked, and almost all of Luke's Regiment died.
"Damn it," Luke said with a voice and expression mixed with anger and sadness.
Luke and his few surviving men were surrounded, their deaths were now very close.
"No, no, I beg you, I don't want to die," pleaded the soldier who saved Luke's life.
"Die dog" Luke took his anger out on the soldier who was begging for his life and cut his neck without hesitation
Xavier smiled and approached his defeated enemy
"Haha, I used to see you as my rival for a while, look at your disgraced state Luke"
Luke was angry but he didn't want to show his last moments in a disgraceful way, he stood up and pointed his sword at Xavier
"If I'm going to die, I'm going to die in accordance with the Warrior's Tradition"
Xavier wanted to humiliate Luke even more
"It's not too late to kneel down and beg Luke oh you know if you lick everyone's shoes here maybe I can ask our Young Lord to make you his man haha"
Luke spat on the ground raised his middle finger and pointed it at Xavier
"The only thing that's going to get your feet wet is this dickhead"
Xavier suddenly appeared in front of Luke Luke was surprised and scared He swung his sword quickly to cut Xavier but this time Xavier appeared behind Luke
Xavier focused his aura on his hand and with one move he split Luke's chest
Luke was in shock at the moment he didn't feel any pain and couldn't understand what was happening, after a short while Luke felt intense pain he fell to his knees and his breathing became uncontrollable
Luke's blood was flowing down his chest, staining his clothes and body red, he died in a short time due to excessive blood loss and the victory was Xavier's
Seth was happy with the victory but disgusted by Xavier's disgusting behavior
Xavier went to his Young Lord Seth, dreaming of the praise he would hear from him, fell to his knees and bowed his head
"My young lord, I have won a victory in your name"
When Seth looked at Xavier, he saw the excitement on his face. He wanted to criticize him, but Xavier was an incorrigible bastard
"It was a great victory, Xavier, I knew you wouldn't let me down"
Xavier's heart beat like crazy. Seth grabbed Xavier's shoulders and lifted him up. He approached his ear and said in a low voice
"If you do anything disgusting again, I will do the same to you. I am sick and tired of your disgrace. Xavier"
Xavier's smiling face turned into a surprised expression. Seth took a step back.
"Take your place Xavier, the next battle is about to begin"
Xavier followed the order without answering
The other eight battles took place in order, five were won by Seth's Battalion and the other three by Arlous Battalion, the score was six to nine
The leading figures of the House of Kislavein were also watching this battle, they were in awe of Seth's command skills
"Seth is truly capable of becoming the next Leader" said Rodwel Karluk
"Arlous is a complete disappointment, I personally expected more from him" said Verolyk Herlveyn
These people who had a say in the Kislavein council were there to watch and evaluate the battle between Seth and Arlous
Henryk Kislavein was scratching his short beard and watching the coliseum carefully, Edward Rodwel, seeing his state, asked curiously
"Who are you looking at so carefully?"
Henryk, whose attention was distracted, turned his eyes to Edward
"I am looking at young Lord Ricardo"
"Young Lord Ricardo, why are you looking at him?"
"Why don't you see what you did yesterday Edward slaughtered 150 men with a single sword swing and without batting an eye"
Dornas who was sitting quietly in a corner approached Edward and Henryk to join in the conversation
"I mean it was really great but can't Young Lord Seth do that too"
Edward who found Dornas' problem ridiculous
"I don't think he would do it considering their level between them Seth could probably kill about 75 or 80"
Dornas was surprised how Seth who was older than Ricardo could be weaker than him both of them had the blood of IV Orsman
"What are you talking about, okay, I accept that it is impressive that he is a Mid-Rank High Tier and yet he shows such strength, but how can Young Lord Seth be a High-Rank Low Tier swordsman weaker than his brother"
Edward thought Dornas was talking nonsense
Dornas really didn't know Ricardo's strength, he thought
"Dornas Ricardo is a High-Rank High Tier Warrior, let alone a wizard, High-Rank High Tier"
Dornas was shocked by the answer he heard "WHAT" he shouted, Rodwel, who was startled by his voice, shouted angrily
"SHUT THE FUCK UP"
Suddenly silence fell on the hall. Rodwel, who was watching the Colosseum, asked Edward without turning his face
"Oh, when did the topic change from Young Lord Seth and Young Lord Arlous to Young Lord Ricardo
Tell me Edward, is that boy really so powerful, what did he do that the fickle one affected you so much"
Edward, whose past flashed before his eyes, began to tell his memories
"Years ago, merchant barons hired about 30 assassins to kill Young Lord Ricardo
As a result of this incident, Richard Kislavein, Young Lord Ricardo's first bodyguard and master, died
Some time after this incident, at Richard's funeral, Young Lord Ricardo swore that he would avenge his master
That day, I was sure that Young Lord Ricardo would become a powerful Warrior, I promised to wait for that day with impatience
I watched him from afar for years and he did not disappoint me"
Dornas and the others did not know what to say, before they had a chance to say it, the Young Lords' war began
Young Lord Seth and Young Lord Arlous and their soldiers were fighting with all their might
Seth and Arlous were so focused on each other that they had lost sight of their surroundings. Arlous' men were falling one by one.
Seth used this opportunity to distract Arlous.
"Your men are dying Arlous, but you don't seem to care much"
Arlous controlled his anger but was out of breath and tired.
"When I kill you, it will all be over, they know it too, their sacrifices will not be in vain, you will die here today Seth"
Seth felt that he was starting to struggle, his sword was being pushed towards him, the two swords were interlocked, there was a power struggle
Both Seth and Arlous were transferring all the Aura and Mana they had to their swords, trying to win this power struggle
Seth had the power to win the power struggle, but with each passing second, a few of his soldiers continued to die
Seth decided to end this struggle quickly so as not to lose any more soldiers
He shaped his Aura and formed it into a fist, his aim was to break Arlous' concentration, Arlous, who had eyes only for himself, fell into this simple trap very easily
Arlous was thrown backwards as if he had been hit in the stomach with a sledgehammer and landed hard on his back. Seth jumped into the air and aimed his sword with both hands above his head. When he landed on Arlous, he stabbed his sword into Arlous' heart. Arlous died a few seconds later and the battle ended with Seth's victory.
There were only two people left from the War of the Heirs that started with ten Heir candidates, 15-year-old Young Lord Ricardo and 18-year-old Young Lord Seth. The battle between the two would determine who would be the future Lord of the Kislavein Dynasty and the Western Lands. Not only the Western Lands but the entire world had their eyes set on the Blood Academy. They waited with curiosity to see who would be the next Dynasty Lord.
