Primordial Sin System

Chapter 574-Second Round

Second Round.

Everyone went back to the arena, and they were eager to see the changes in the second round.

The 20 contestants were sitting in their respective seats, but everyone noticed that the higher their rank was, the higher the elevation of their seats.

Caryll is sitting at the top, while Joaquin is sitting at the bottom.

In the middle of the arena, the speaker appears and announces the rules.

"This round is different from the previous tournament as well."

"This round is also an elimination, and each of you had the right to challenge someone 3 times, and if everyone already used their challenge, the remaining top 10 will enter the last round."

"Note, you can't challenge those ranked higher than you by 5 levels."

"Also, if someone with a higher rank loses, his seat will be demoted by one level."

"For example, if Miss Caryll defeats Mister Konrad, then Mister Konrad will be demoted to rank 3."

"On the other hand, if Miss Caryll is defeated by Mister Konrad, they would just swap positions."

It means that if you defeat someone with a higher rank than you, you will swap places with them.

If you defeat those who are lower-ranked than you, they will be demoted by one level.

.....

After hearing the rules, everyone understood, and Dave found this round interesting.

Even so, he took out popcorn from his space ring and ate food while watching the tournament.

His action is noticed by everyone, and they see Dave act nonchalantly as if he already predicted the result.

...

"Now, Joaquin Aquaria, since you ranked last, you are the first one to challenge someone."

The speaker spoke in front of everyone, and the last ranked would have the right to be the first to select whom he would fight.

Joaquin nodded, and he rose from his seat and went to the arena.

All eyes were on him, and he was nervous at first, but he managed to reach this level due to his perseverance.

He had a gold-level talent, which is considered good, but he was weak and one of the youngest participants.

His perseverance was seen by everyone, and he almost would have been eliminated if not for his will and strong body.

"Good luck, brother."

Hannah, who is sitting on the 4th highest seat, waved her hands and smiled at him.

Joaquin smiled and nodded.

'I won't disappoint you, sister.'

.....

"I challenge ranked 15, Amando from the Leaf Continent."

Joaquin announced and the ranked 15 Amando went down and looked at Joaquin with arrogance.

"Hmm, a mere ranked 5 wizard dares to fight me?"

Amando is a peak 7-star wizard, and he is not a royal blood from the Leaf Continent but he comes from a prominent family.

"Are you afraid?"

Joaquin smiled at him and disregarded his remarks.

"Hmm, why would I be afraid of you?"

Amando stepped up in the arena with confidence.

The crowd cheered in their heated conversation.

"Now let's begin the first battle of this round…"

The announcer said, and he clapped his hands. A barrier appeared to protect the viewers and allow the contestants to show their powers without worry.

Amando smiled before he waved his hands and summoned his familiar.

"Come out, Dark Centipede."

Suddenly, a 10-meter-long centipede appeared in front of everyone.

"Yuck, how disgusting."

Caryll said and she talked to Hannah, who also agreed.

"Yeah."

Their voice is not hidden, so everyone looks at the two but they do not comment for fear of offending Caryll.

They are not afraid of Caryll because they have a trump card, but if she targeted them in this round, then it would be a huge loss for them.

It's okay to offend her in the final round because everyone will go all out.

Joaquin looked at the centipede and he calmed himself.

"Drake." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Suddenly, a 10-meter-tall dragon-like figure appeared in front of everyone.

"Roaar!"

It was the Drake that Joaquin contracted but everyone noticed something.

"What? His drake is now different."

"That's right, did he go under evolution?"

The onlookers were stunned because even though the drake's appearance didn't change, his body became massive and he emitted a little draconic aura.

"A semi-dragon familiar!"

The wizard king looks at Joaquin with a solemn look and they know that having a dragon as a familiar means they will have a terrifying familiar.

There are only a few people who have contracted a dragon familiar in the Aethenos world and only the Haven Clan Leader has done it before.

'This kid had an endless potential.'

Elder Koro's eyes lit up and he could not help but look at Sarah and ask.

"I didn't know you were hiding such a talented kid."

Sarah, on the other hand, could not help but doubt what was happening.

The other Wizard Kings keep congratulating her because even though the dragon is a semi-dragon for now, there is still a chance to become a fully evolved dragon in the future.

Dragon is the strongest familiar anyone in this world can contract so it shocked her to see Joaquin manage to evolve the drake.

She looked beside her and saw Dave remain calm but felt that Dave had something to do with it.

When they were given some time to rest, Joaquin was with Sarah and Dave.

That's right, her intuition is correct.

After being curious about Joaquin because he is a demon and a human breed, he can merge with his familiar.

During the rest of the time they had, he lets him join the training of Hannah and Caryll and he even talks to the arrogant Drake of Joaquin, and only shows his aura to suppress the drake.

The drake is arrogant and he learns that the drake is a prince of their Drake Race.

Drake Race is a vassal race under the Dragon Race, and his father, the King of Drakes is already a semi-dragon.

Under the aura of Dave, the arrogant Drake of Joaquin lowered his head to him and then he gifted Joaquin dragon blood.

The blood comes from Draco before he evolved but it is enough for him to reach a semi-dragon state.

.....

<Dragon's might>

Joaquin just stood up and the Drake released his noble aura and blasted the centipede together with the opponent.

The battle ended swiftly and the contestants looked at him seriously and didn't expect a black horse would appear.
