Chapter 40: Treacherous Tournament

“Volcanic Ash!”

Red hot dust particles suddenly appeared in front of Raphael’s opponent.

Cough, cough, cough…

He grabbed the opportunity to retrieve his saber and stab his competitor in the chest.

Slash!

His competitor fell face down on the ground.

One… two… three…

Ding, ding, ding!

Raphael emerged victorious for the round. He quickly made his way backstage to rest.

Upon seeing Raphael walking toward him, Jon went back to his allocated waiting room.

“It is best for me to keep a distance from Raphael,” he thought to himself.

Jon’s injuries from the first round were almost completely healed.

“I will put some bandages just in case.”

He took sips of water and eat a banana to boost his energy.

In the waiting room, he could hear the tournament’s emcee entertaining the spectators.

“Who will be the winner of the 100 000 cash grand prize?”
