Cosmic Paragon

Drake slowly raised himself from the ground as Evil Samurai King got closer.

Drake was surprised by the speed that Evil Samurai King had used to close a distance of about 10 meters. It was so fast that if you blinked you would think he teleported. But that wasn't teleportation it was just pure speed.

Also that speed wasn't a result of just magic power but also a special technique.

Drake was internally surprised. "That movement technique, it's similar to the way Samurai move. Don't tell me this guy is really from the Samurai." Drake speculated.

For Evil Samurai King to use a Samurai movement technique meant he must have some relationship with the Samurai.

Drake knew a bit about the Samurai. They were a very traditional bunch that trained from a very young age. They also emphasized very much on respect and honor.

But this guy had absolutely none of that.

Normally, a Samurai would never attack an unarmed opponent, but this Evil Samurai King attacked before the opponent could draw his weapon. That went against the Samurai's code.

Drake shook himself. 'It doesn't matter, nothing changes. He is an enemy that means I have to defeat him."

With a mental order Drake's magic power surged forth to life.

'Radiant Moon Power: Lunar Flare!'

Drake's whole body suddenly shone with a bright light. It was like a bright moon had suddenly exploded. The blinding radiance pierced through the dark night forcing Evil Samurai King to reflexively close his eyes.

This 'Lunar Flare was a spell Drake had come up with that applied the light power of moonlight. It was a simple spell that caused no actual physical damage, but it could temporarily strip an enemy of their vision.

Drake tightened his grip on the hilt of the spear tip like blade of the chain and charged forward at Evil Samurai King while he was blinded.

Evil Samurai King's sense of danger kicked in as Drake closed in on him.

Snorting disdainfully Evil Samurai King channeled his magic energy and waved his arm unleashing a wave of frosty magic power in the form of a crescent chilling blade energy.

Drake instantly sensed the danger from the chilling sharp blade energy. If that attack hit him, then Drake would definitely suffer some injuries. Even if he was not completely cut clean through by the sharp blade energy, the frost element would affect him by numbing his body causing his speed to slow down. Not to forget Drake would have to suffer the frostbite.

Drake immediately decided he could not let that attack hit him.

'Teleport!'

Drake's figure vanished from in front of Evil Samurai King, he successfully avoided the blade energy. He appeared behind Evil Samurai King and slashed his blade at Evil Samurai King's neck from behind.

Just as he appeared and slashed his blade however, Evil Samurai King seemed to have eyes at the back of his head and lowered himself. Drake's blade passed over his head without causing any damage. Drake's eyes contracted he hastily crossed his arms over his chest while also activating his Cosmic Armor.

BANG!

The next moment he was sent flying back as Evil Samurai King's leg kicked against the crossed arms.

"Pathetic! And to think you even dare to call yourself a Paragon. I spit on you. So what if you have a Space Affinity, you can forget about causing any waves. All your moves are useless against me." Evil Samurai King spat.

Actually, Evil Samurai King was used to the opponent surrendering without even putting up a fight and was already very irritated when his opponent had not directly surrendered upon realising that they would be facing Evil Samurai King. Then he saw that his opponent was Paragon. When he saw how Paragon had won his match against the Illusion King he felt utter disdain. He also believed that Arthur had let Paragon win. At that moment he had decided that he would wipe out Paragon in the shortest time possible as a display of his own strength to show the world that he, Evil Samurai King, was superior to the Illusion King.

But then he saw Paragon's weapon selection. 'Random Weapon!' And he immediately lost it.

The thought of his opponent looking down on him enraged him. As far as Evil Samurai was concerned Paragon's random weapon choice was a provocation, an insult to him. Because it was practically Paragon's way of saying that he Evil Samurai was beneath him and Paragon did not even need to take him seriously talk less of go all in to defeat Evil Samurai.

Evil Samurai was incensed at the thought of the opposition looking down on him so he changed his mind.

He would not end the fight quickly. On the other hand, he would drag it out and he would make sure to thoroughly humiliate Paragon. He would also not use too much of his power so that he would not mistakenly kill Paragon too early.

The only way Paragon would be able to escape would be by voluntary surrender. For a true warrior, forcing them to surrender was the worst thing you could do to them.

By telling Paragon that his only option was surrender, he was trapping Paragon.

From the first moment he laid eyes on Paragon, Evil Samurai knew that Paragon was not an older person. No. He was someone from the younger generation. A new budding talent.

If there was one thing all youngsters had in common, it would be their competetive nature. That unwillingness to accept that somebody else was better and the stubbornness to surrender. Evil Samurai had immediately latched on to this point and decided to use that against Paragon.

It was an obvious trap, but it was one that Paragon had no choice but to jump into headfirst.

Now paragon could only either face the tormrnt of Evil Samurai King or take the humiliation and surrender. Only in this way could he vent the resentment in his heart.

Feeling the invading Frost element power invading his arms, Drake frowned and activated the fire element of the Virgo constellation.

Thanks to the heat, the freezing cold energy was ground away until it vanished.

'Teleport!'

BANG!

Drake vanished again. However, just as he appeared in front of Evil Samurai King, the butt of a sheathed blade slammed into his belly

"Trash, you are beneath me. You had better give up while you still have the chance to do so, because if I really do start attacking you for real I won't let you surrender nor will I kill you immediately. No, I'll make sure it's slow and painful."

When Evil Samurai said this, he pulled his sheathed blade back to it's position at his hip and at the same time he spun and his foot slammed into Drake's chest as he kicked him flying.

BANG!

The spectators watched as Paragon shot back and crashed into the ground only rolling to a crouch to stop himself. They could almost feel the impact from that kick in their own chests.

For most of them, If that had been them then taking that kick would definitely have broken a few ribs. It would havw been precisely tje same for Drake. Fortunately for him though he had the Cosmic Armor to protect himself.

Evil Samurai King revealed a smile of ridicule on his face instead. You intend to kill me with such weak power? Are you sure there's nothing wrong with you in the head?

Evil Samurai King's right hand slowly reached for the hilt of his blade at his hip. In one swift motion he drew his blade slashing forward. Drake sensed the danger and hastily raised the blade to defend.

CLANG!

A resplendent blade light flashed and a resounding clanging noise similar to the sound of metal clashing against metal echoed as the blade light clashed into Drake's raised blade.

BANG!

The spectators were all watching silently as Paragon was blown away by that sharp yet chilling blade light exploded upon contact. The whole audience held their breaths and continued to watch as Paragon lay sprawled on the floor.

Paragon's fans particularly let out breaths of relief. While those that resented him because their idols or friends and family had lost to him jeered from the stands.

The long chain that was Drake's weapon ways loose on the ground. Blocking that attack had numbed Drake's hand forcing him to lose his grip on his weapon.

"You Impudent fool! You still continue this futile struggle? You are but an ant trying to move a tree. " Evil Samurai sneered.

Meanwhile, Drake realized that Evil Samurai King wanted to drag out the fight. That was why he kept talking. He was trying to provoke Drake's pride as a youngster to remain in the fight.

Youngsters most especially teenagers were known to be impulsive and proud. The combination of these two in a person could make them do some stupid shit.

Take Drake's current situation right now for example. Actually Evil Samurai King's provocation scheme was very obvious, and anyone with a head would see through his intentions with one look. And for anybody with some sense in their heads, the rational thing to do in this situation would be to surrender because the opponent was stronger and stubbornly remaining here was tantamount to begging to be tormented.

However, while you know it's a trap you'd still let yourself be caught in it. Why? Because of pride. To surrender would be to admit defeat, to admit your inferiority. That was something youngsters would never do.

But Drake didn't care about that

The opponent had no intention of ending the fight any time soon. That might not all be a bad thing, after all the more he faced the pressure of a 3 Star mage the better it was for his cultivation.
