The air buzzed with excitement and chatter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In just a little while, the Silver Dragon Prince and the Thunder Dragon King will officially face off. I can’t wait!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, these two clans have legendary reputations. Everyone is watching to see which one will come out on top.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think Odin is stronger, though. He’s been famous across the planes for centuries, while the Silver Dragon Prince has only risen to prominence in recent years.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s not necessarily true. Leon is an up-and-comer, and you can’t judge strength based on how long someone has been renowned.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve got a point.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, it’s already eight. Why hasn’t it started yet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Relax, relax—look! The Tower Master is stepping out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Tower Master!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd erupted in cheers as the Tower Master made her appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From a distance, Noa could see the elegant elderly woman standing at the center of the square. Amid the applause, she offered a graceful bow before speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you all for coming to witness this pinnacle of high-magic dueling.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It has been some time since I announced this event, and I know many of you have been eagerly anticipating it…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, I won’t delay further. The stage—behold!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a wave of her hand, the Tower Master summoned her magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground trembled slightly as massive recording stones emerged, positioning themselves to provide every corner of the square with a clear view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the stones, a spacious arena was displayed. The center was dotted with numerous raised platforms, perfectly sized for combat. The walls and surfaces were smooth, as though carved with a blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atop the two highest platforms stood the duel’s main contenders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the left platform stood Leon Cosmod, clad in gleaming silver armor, a long spear in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the right platform stood Odin, a wiry figure in a white robe, his presence commanding despite his slender frame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above them, an hourglass hung suspended, with the last few grains of sand trickling down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This indicated that the duel was about to begin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As you can see, the two have entered the independent space I created for this battle,” the Tower Master explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This duel, awaited by so many, is about to commence.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please watch closely. Don’t miss a single moment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, the Tower Master gestured grandly, then vanished from the square.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She reappeared moments later at the top of the Twilight Tower, where a large recording stone displayed the same arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joining her in the viewing area were other dragon kings who had arrived over the past few days, along with faculty and students from Saint Sis Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noa recognized Odin’s name immediately. His feats were legendary, taught repeatedly in the academy’s courses on dragon magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Odin’s mastery of lightning magic was unparalleled, shaping the very foundation of its practice among dragons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she trusted her father’s strength, Noa couldn’t help but feel a pang of nervousness. This was going to be a hard-fought battle, one for the ages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby, Rosvisser and Isha sat together, their conversation reaching Noa’s ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rosvisser, what do you think my dear brother-in-law’s chances are?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I… I’m not sure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Seven to three,” Isha said playfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosvisser, too tense to catch the teasing tone, took her sister’s words at face value. “Only thirty percent? Isn’t that too low?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isha chuckled and nudged her sister lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I meant seven out of ten times, Leon knocks Odin down three times. A 70-30 split.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosvisser finally caught the joke and smiled. “I hope you’re right, sister.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, little Muse waved her tiny hands from Rosvisser’s lap, trying to use the phrase she’d just learned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dad… Dad… Will… win!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noa raised an eyebrow and pinched her younger sister’s chubby cheek. “You sure know how to pick your moments, little sis. I think Dad will win too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across the room, Hefei glanced at Noa and Muse before turning to her father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Konstantin’s usually stoic expression held a rare tension, his gaze fixed intently on the recording stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Hefei hesitated, then reached out her small hand to hold his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hefei,” Konstantin said softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This battle might be the only one of its kind we’ll see in our lifetimes. Watch carefully. Don’t miss anything.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Father.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tick. Tock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room fell silent, save for the sound of the clock on the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the arena, Leon and Odin faced each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the air was still, the atmosphere was heavy with tension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They both knew this wasn’t a fight to be taken lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leon,” Odin said suddenly, his voice calm yet firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon met Odin’s unwavering gaze, his tone just as steady. “What is it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s something I’ve always wondered. Why have I never heard of you before you became the Silver Dragon Prince? With magic as powerful as yours, I should have known your name long ago.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon’s smile didn’t falter. “Perhaps I never had the chance to stand out before.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Odin didn’t press further. Slowly, he took his stance, faint arcs of lightning beginning to dance around his frame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s give it everything we’ve got,” he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon nodded, stepping back to steady himself. “I wouldn’t have it any other way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the final grain of sand fell in the hourglass, both combatants vanished simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They reappeared a split second later, directly above the hourglass. Odin’s knee shot upward in a powerful strike while Leon raised his elbow to block. The clash of their first blow released a burst of lightning, shattering the hourglass beneath them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sheer force of the exchange drove Leon back slightly, and he realized just how formidable his opponent was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Odin’s appearance suggested he was older than even Leon’s master, his speed, strength, and reflexes were anything but diminished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon felt a mix of pressure and exhilaration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smile crept onto his face. A challenge like this was exactly what he had been waiting for.\u003C\u002Fp>",993,"2026-06-06T15:09:59.658Z",1,"novelbin.me","257643d511c1f1ff6024cdd3b1a12c019325b32e912c3e031647c5752c34cbdf","shut-up-malevolent-dragon-i-don-t-want-to-have-a-chapter-542","shut-up-malevolent-dragon-i-don-t-want-to-have-a-chapter-540",914,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshut-up-malevolent-dragon-i-don-t-want-to-have-a-cover.jpg"]
