At the emperor's command, the finals began. The huge venue was in a state of excitement, with hundreds of thousands of people making a lot of noise.

Cassius sat casually on the throne, resting his chin on his right hand, overlooking the passionate crowd.

"After history has been changed, who will be the champion of the first competition?"

“I’m kind of looking forward to it.”

In fact, Cassius was also quite curious about who would win the championship.

In the original history, "Erezaigai" did not have so many players. Relying on spending money in reality, the president of "Royalty" won the championship without a doubt.

But the emergence of the empire brought earth-shaking changes to the [Northern Storm] version.

The emergence of various faction sub-professions, changes in quest lines, and the prosperity of the magic industry
The current situation in the Anzeta Wasteland has little to do with the original history in Cassius' memory.

This is a brand new journey.

Cassius did not like his predetermined fate, it was too heavy and made him feel helpless.

He enjoyed the feeling of changing his destiny and even taking history into his own hands.

Looking at the contestant seats below the stage, those players who have stood out have already begun to prepare for the next battle, and each of them is full of fighting spirit.

Cassius turned around, smiled at the white-haired girl waiting beside him, and asked casually: "Tinya, who do you think will win the championship?"

Tinia looked at the players with disdain and whispered, "Master, why don't you let me participate? I can also win the championship."

She stretched out her hand and clenched it fiercely: "These weak guys, I can crush them into meat patties with just one claw."

As she spoke, Tina's expression became obsessed and she was immersed in her own world.

"Then I can get the champion's gold coins and gain your favor, hehehe"

"."

Cassius turned his head speechlessly and continued watching the game.

It is really wishful thinking to expect this white beast dragon to spit out ivory from its mouth.

Just watch the game.

"Flesh and blood are weak, machinery soars! Brother Frenzy is the champion!"

"S God is invincible!"

"Glory belongs to the natural warrior!"

"Glory to the king, immortality of heroes! The champion will only belong to our king!"

The cheering groups of the star contestants cheered one after another, and started a war of words for the right to win the championship.

Under the arrangement of the imperial officials, the 128 contestants who finally advanced began to draw lots to select their opponents and decide the order of appearance.

The competition will last for seven rounds and adopt the most brutal elimination system. Just losing one game means the end of the competition career.

Therefore, luck has become a very important point.

A player with bad luck is likely to draw several strong opponents in a row and be forced to reveal his cards early.

——For example, the famous “African” Charlotte.

Surrounded by many members of [Magic Coin], he looked at the bronze plate in his hand with "Great and Mighty Heavenly Dragon" written on it and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Oh, I'm used to it."

Charlotte sighed.

This cruel world is always so unfriendly to Africans.

Dawei Tianlong is the president of [Shaolin Temple]. He is famous for his strong physique and is recognized as the strongest monk player at the moment.

Meeting such an opponent in the first round can only be said to be in line with his estimation of his luck.

Monks are very sensitive, especially high-level monks like the Great Dragon, who are not very friendly to mages like him who are afraid of close combat.

Fortunately, the opponent lacks the means to counter the spell.

I can still fight.

Charlotte took a deep breath and looked at her battle position again - sure enough, it was the first game.

"It's such a headache. If I run into strong opponents like this in a few matches, it would be bad if they figured out my skills."

"But no one can defeat a well-prepared wizard!"

The wand in his hand was bright silver, with intricate hollow patterns on the top, emitting a deep blue light.

——That is a rare level equipment [Battle Mage Wand].

The effect is simple and practical, allowing the holder's spells to have a tracking effect, penetrate cover, and find targets on a complex battlefield.

Charlotte clenched the wand in her hand, her expression somewhat solemn.

"I'll be the first one to go into battle, and I'll have to face a tough enemy. The appearance of the magic coin will depend on me!"

"Come on, President!"

"Control the opponent's monk to death!"

"It is our duty to restore the glory of the wizard!"

The members of Magic Coin cheered and encouraged their president.

As the president of one of the four major families, Charlotte is very powerful.

What's more, for a mage, financial resources are an important part of strength, and the financial resources of [Magic Coin] are quite strong.

While on the other side, the players of [Shaolin Temple] were also full of passion and excitement.

"Brother Tianlong, you are the strongest!"

"Abbot, how can a mere mage defeat our well-trained bodies?"

"Weak! That wizard named Charlotte is so weak! Use your fists to smash him to pieces!"

Dawei Tianlong stroked his shiny bald head and saluted the players who supported him: "I will do my best!"

He grinned, revealing a row of neat and white teeth: "Let them see the strength of the Sanda monk!"

The commentator's passionate voice echoed in the venue.

"His Majesty Cassius will be present at this competition. I believe everyone will give 100% of their strength to compete for this extremely glorious championship position!"

"In this match, our contestants can fully demonstrate their strength without any scruples - because His Majesty has personally set up restrictions in the venue that can eliminate all attacks beyond the scope of the venue."

"really?"

Some curious players didn't believe it and decided to try it themselves.

He released a fireball into the arena, but there seemed to be an invisible barrier in the air that directly annihilated the fireball.

The player who had the urge to do something was soon taken away by the Tiefling guards.

"Damn, so advanced?"

"Really!"

"Such a large-scale anti-magic force field is really outrageous!"

"Okay, okay, I want to see the bombing!"

Cassius on the throne smiled but said nothing. This was just a trivial measure of the [Imperial Territory], nothing more than banning magic.

I can even ban you!
The narrator continued:
"Our first game is about to begin!"

"Now we reveal the two teams in the competition. The blue team's player is No. 00023, the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon!"

"The mighty Tianlong!"

"God the monk! One Punch Man!"

There was a sudden uproar of cheers from the audience.

As a well-known professional monk player, Dawei Tianlong has attracted many fans with his crisp and powerful fighting style.

There is also a video clip of his competition on a certain video platform - "One Punch to Extinguish the Wind and Rain, No Gods in the World", which has been played millions of times.

A two-meter-tall bald monk walked out of the contestant channel, waved to the people in the audience, and showed a bright and confident smile.

The muscular body was as perfect as a sculpture, and the reflections from its teeth and head were blinding to the audience.

"Who turned on the light?"

"Fuck, that's a big light bulb!"

"This guy looks ridiculously strong. I feel sorry for his opponent. Which unlucky guy got the Daweitian in the first round?"

"Yes, it is said that he defeated every qualifying match with one punch, without showing any mercy."

"The red player is——"

The commentator can draw out his voice to create a sense of anticipation, and only reveal the answer when everyone's eyes are focused on the contestant channel.

"Number 00005, Charlotte!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a wizard wearing a lavender robe and holding a bright silver staff appeared at the end of the passage, his expression looking calm and composed.

"What the hell?"

"What an unlucky guy!"

"Isn't this the guy who got all the wrong shots in twenty consecutive draws?"

Hearing such an exclamation, the smile on Charlotte's face was a little stiff, but he still bowed politely and saluted the audience.

"This is the president of one of the four great families - the Magic Coin!"

"This is going to be interesting, a powerful dialogue!"

"Oh my god, look at the equipment he's wearing!" "One, two, three, four, nine rare pieces of equipment. Even the rings on his hands are glowing blue. He's really rich!"

"As expected of the president of a wealthy family, even if you sell me, you still can't afford so many magical equipments!"

"It is our duty to restore the glory of the wizard!"

Hearing various exclamations from the audience, Charlotte nodded with satisfaction.

This is the demeanor that a wealthy family's president should have!
The commentator continued: "It seems that everyone's emotions are very high!"

"As expected of the finals, both sides of the competition are top players in their respective fields. The blue team is the Great Mighty Dragon known as the 'One Punch Monk', and the red team is Charlotte, the president of the top wealthy Magic Coin."

"So - who will win this game? Let's wait and see!"

In the spacious arena, Charlotte and Dawei Tianlong faced each other from a distance.

Whether it's the aura of the mage or the tall and strong body of the monk, they both put considerable psychological pressure on the opponent.

Faced with such a powerful enemy, both sides looked serious and did not take their guard down at all.

"Three, two, one
"Game start!"

The referee gave an order, announcing the start of the fight.

"boom!"

There was only a dull sound, and the ground cracked and dust flew under the feet of the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon. He jumped up, leaving an afterimage in the air.

This is the monk's ability to [Fly over eaves and walk on walls], which consumes the true energy in the body to achieve the effect of high-speed movement.

"Shh-"

The whistling wind made a rustling sound.

The two-meter-tall monk came through the air, and it was difficult for people in the audience to see his trajectory with the naked eye.

"Suffer to death!"

The mighty heavenly dragon let out a roar.

The commentator's voice was full of passion: "You can see that Dawei Tianlong's play style is very aggressive. He wants to close the distance by flying over the eaves and walls and kill with one blow! It's too fast!"

"But as a mage, Charlotte is definitely not helpless!"

Charlotte looked at the mighty dragon in the air and gently rubbed the ring in her hand.

【Phantom Step】

"boom!"

The bald monk fell to the ground, creating a large pit, but where the mage had just stood, only a thin silver-white smoke remained.

Charlotte was already dozens of meters away. He raised his wand, and the tip of it released a dazzling lightning.

"boom--"

A bolt of lightning tore through the air and struck the monk not far away.

The speed of lightning has exceeded the human body's reaction, and even the mighty dragon has difficulty avoiding it.

The monk's strong body was instantly pierced by lightning, leaving traces of burnt black, but he showed a mouthful of white teeth.

But spells require preparation.

There is stiffness when casting a spell!
"Nice defensive counterattack! You can see that Charlotte used the Phantom Step to create distance and then released the lightning bolt to cause damage!"

"But the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon's physique is too strong! He actually took the blow!"

At the moment when Charlotte released the lightning beam, the Great Dragon took the blow head-on, then stepped on the ground again and approached rapidly.

What a great speed!

Charlotte was startled. Before he could cast his next spell, the monk was in front of him, swinging his fist that was bigger than a casserole.

A strong wind came.

"How dare you show off your skills in front of an expert! Great and Mighty Heavenly Dragon!"

"when--"

There was a crisp sound, and Charlotte did not move at all. A magic film appeared around him, blocking the powerful punch.

It's the Otiluk elastic shield!
Instead, the bald monk was blown away by the power of the spell.

Charlotte grinned and raised the battle mage's wand in her hand, which emitted a faint red light.

It's now!

This monk can't dodge the opportunity!
【Human Immobilization Technique】

A light red light shot out, heading straight towards the monk.

But the Great Heavenly Dragon roared, and relying on his powerful control over his body, he twisted his body in the air and avoided the attack.

But Charlotte rubbed the other ring on her left hand, creating an invisible force field that enveloped the monk.

【Slow Speed】

The speed of the Great Heavenly Dragon suddenly became extremely slow, and its movements in mid-air were almost still.

The commentator's voice became louder and louder: "It's Slow! This is an area spell. The Great Dragon player can't dodge it with his mobility advantage!"

"His attack this time was a bit reckless! Can the Charlotte player finish the game?"

Charlotte used Phantom Step again, came behind the monk, raised her staff, and prepared to give him the final blow.

At this moment, the string of beads around the neck of the mighty heavenly dragon that was fixed in mid-air released some kind of power.

The spell is ineffective!
This looks like a decorative rosary, but it actually contains an anti-magic orb!
The bald monk with thick eyebrows and big eyes can also lie!
The commentator said, "The spell is ineffective! The Great Dragon player has hidden anti-magic means, and he is looking for an opportunity to get close!"

The mighty heavenly dragon was instantly freed from its restrained state, and all its muscles began to move.

He turned around and rushed towards Charlotte, who seemed to be frightened and standing there, not far away, and laughed out loud.

"Hahaha! You didn't expect that! I caught you!"

"Great and Mighty Heavenly Dragon! The Buddha Ksitigarbha, Prajnaparamita!"

With a whistling gust of wind, he swung his fist, and the fist as big as a casserole hit the mage directly in the face!

"boom!"

"what is this?"

The bald monk looked surprised. His hands did not feel the expected impact of his punches on flesh. Instead, he hit nothing.

And the "Charlotte" who was standing in place suddenly exploded.

Chains covered in sharp teeth appeared out of nowhere and wrapped around his muscular body, pinning him to the spot.

The commentator spoke very quickly, his tone becoming increasingly excited: "Oh my God! In a flash, the situation has reversed again!"

"You may not have seen it clearly. Just now, Charlotte moved to the blind spot of Dawei Tianlong, released a high-level phantom, and set up a sharp-fang trap in the phantom."

"He himself entered the invisible state, so as to make the Great Dragon player mistakenly believe that the phantom was the real him!"

"Obviously, Charlotte's arrangement was successful! Dawei Tianlong was fixed in place and unable to move!"

“Is this the end of the game?”

Charlotte then emerged from invisibility with a relaxed smile on her face.

He had long noticed that something was amiss. How could the president of a big guild not have any means of countering magic?
This guy must be trying to trick him!
However, the bald monk's physique is so strong that it is difficult to kill him with ordinary spells.

Once the immobilization effect of [Sharp Fang Trap] wears off, the situation may be reversed again.

Without the protection of magic, Charlotte, with her fragile physique of 11 points, could not withstand a punch from the bald monk.

This is how a battle between masters works, the situation is ever-changing and the opportunity is fleeting.

The longer the night, the more dreams you may have. You must not hold back!
Thinking of this, Charlotte stroked the mithril necklace on her chest that was shining with an icy blue light. This was what their guild had obtained from the Frost Giant ruins.

The cold spell has a special attack effect on players with red dragon blood. Although the Great Dragon does not have the characteristics of a dragon, its inhuman muscles are essentially brought by dragon blood.

[Ice Cone]

"Shh-"

A huge ice cone appeared and suddenly stabbed towards the monk who was immobilized not far away, piercing his strong body.

Blood splattered and cold light flashed everywhere.

Small pieces of ice fell.

With an ice cone piercing his chest, Dawei Tianlong finally couldn't hold on any longer. The cold spread and half of his body turned into ice.

Then, that muscular body collapsed and died.

The great and powerful Heavenly Dragon died.

The commentator passionately announced the result of the game: "Let us congratulate Charlotte for winning this game!"

"It is our duty to restore the glory of the wizard!"

"President!"

"You guys have such dirty hearts playing as mages!"

In the audience, cheers were like waves.

Sitting on the throne on the high platform, Cassius stroked his chin and nodded slightly.

"Not bad, it seems that this group of players already has a certain level of strength."

"At least, stronger than the players at that stage in the original history." (End of this chapter)
