later, We reached the arena building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When we walked inside the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff are surprised by the presence of Lord Lowell McClain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m heading to the special box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Give your best don’t worry about other things,” Lowell gave the final piece of advice before going towards the Special Box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nodded at him before going towards the warriors’ room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff showed a hint of fear upon seeing me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I know the reason for their expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I shook my head before continuing walking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I arrived at the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I noticed the number of warriors reduced to 20.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We are getting into the final stages of the competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today the top 10 will be selected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wonder who will be my opponent today.  On the other hand, Lowell McCalin entered the special room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sound of exclamation was heard everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was surprised to see Lord Lowell’s appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t expect to see him here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lowell nodded at everyone before sitting down on his seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, a fat middle aged man walked into the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is none other than the arena manager.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fat manager’s expression was serious but his expression worsened upon seeing Lowell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Lowell, when did you come?” he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hurriedly went to his side and sat beside him.  Lowell amused by seeing his frightened expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to the arena manager, he was able to learn about Dale Mount’s injury status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have just spared some time to come here,”  Lowell replied calmly.  Hearing that, the arena manager showed a helpless smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you okay?” Lowell asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arena manager replied,”I was scared yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But thanks to your presence here right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m feeling good.” Lowell let out a small chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knows what the arena manager is thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But nothing will happen to the arena manager and his staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, I kept observing the reactions of people around me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anyone is against me, it’s hard for them to keep their expressions under control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the time passed, no one showed any abnormal reactions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone communicates with each other in a friendly manner.  After confirming everyone was alright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I shifted my gaze towards the duel arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly afterwards, The referee came to the duel platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without giving any lecture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He showed the first matchup for today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed, One after another match ups have been completed within a few hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Senior Warriors are tough and experienced warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t waste any time on dragging the duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few hours later, My turn came up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My name was shown on the big screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that I left the room and started walking towards the duel platform.  After entering the platform, I stood at one corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opposite to me, a slender looking middle aged man appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The barrier started to cover up the duel platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The participant also observed me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that I activated the perceptual ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, my perception covered the whole platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the barrier completely covered the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The referee gave the signal .  Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The slender looking middle aged man dashed towards the opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His name is Hectar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is known for his speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Weapon he uses was the short sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After seeing his face, many senior warriors paid attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of them have done missions together with Hector.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For them it’s an interesting duel match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the duel platform, I pulled out the Black Sword from my storage ring and became ready to engage him.  In the blink of an eye, our body got closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hector’s speed was faster than the average warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is not using his movement technique at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, I have the perception power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can see the short sword’s moves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Hector directed his sword at my chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I swiftly used the black sword to block it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A metallic noise sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hector’s face was full of surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought he was not underestimating his opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was still surprised by Zack’s strength and perception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He retreated backwards before using the elemental technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A burning red flame covered the short sword’s blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The  flame made a buzzing scorching noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone could tell that coming in contact with that burning blade will melt one’s skin and flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, I did the same with the black sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of using the lightning technique, I simply used the lightning power to cover the blade.  Thunder!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple lightning made a crackling sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, we both burst out at great speed to clash against each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, we crossed swords with each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A metallic sound continues to reverberate throughout the

headed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather Hector appears to be someone who uses their brain for tactics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, Hector has an advantage in natural speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lowell believes that Zack Lockwood will gain good experience from this duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zack’s previous opponents were strong in either elemental or skilled
