Chapter 53: Undercurrent

Apollo wore a mask and had already come to the battle arena early. He couldn’t wait to fight against worthy opponents.

Today, the battle arena was more crowded than most days, as it seems the rumour of ’Ice Lord’ being from Eternal Ice Palace has attracted a lot of attention from people from all over ’Frostheld’ and northern wasteland.

Many powerful people that are usually hard to find surprisingly appeared for the battle of some weak mortals below limit breakers.

Everyone is looking forward to seeing how good this ice lord is and whether there is a connection between him and the Eternal Ice Palace.

Master Aaron and Old Man Aragon also came and were already sitting in the stands, waiting for the battle to start.

"It seems rumour has travelled quite far." Old Man said this as he saw the crowd and group of powerful people here.

"Yes, it seems like that, but it feels a bit weird like someone is pushing it behind the scenes. Otherwise, it wouldn’t become this big, as no matter what, it is a battle between mortals who haven’t taken their first step towards transcendence."

Master Aaron felt it was weird as the commotion was too large, but he couldn’t figure out why there was a need to do this.

At the same time, in a top VIP stand, two figures covered in black cloaks were sitting and looking at the arena from the high, and one of the figures with only a visible, eerie smile started to say something.

"So, what do you think about the ’Ice Lord’ guy?"

"Will he be a bit interesting or some idiot who wants to be famous?"

"I don’t know, but God’s blood was indeed sensed by the’ Divine weapon’ at that time. And somebody did work hard to make this guy famous to attract some attention."

Another black-cloaked big figure with a heavy voice said what he knew.

"Somebody is fishing for us or someone else?"

"Hehe, those are some brave idiots; hopefully, they are good, as I am now really looking forward to meeting them."

The black cloak guy with a creepy smile laughed as he felt this small outing was going to be fun.

And somewhere outside the city, two guys with a mysterious aura slowly walked towards the Frostheld City.

"Why are you making things more messy? Is it necessary to rope the Eternal Ice Palace?"

"Nothing, no matter what we do or how we do it, will piss them off, so making a larger mess wouldn’t change the outcome, and come on, I also wanted to see how good they are."

"Anyway, if something goes, other ways elders will make moves, so let’s enjoy this."

***********

Undercurrents were spreading throughout the city and even the northern wasteland.

Apollo, on the other hand, had no idea that something big was happening, and he had already become a part of it.

He was waiting to know his opponent and was waiting for battle.

At that time, Alina and the fat organiser came up with a list of names and gave him special care because of the publicity by allowing him to choose who to fight.

He quickly looked at the list, which was full of names, surprising him. There were around ninety names with various kinds of power.

Some among them intrigued him, like the person named Logan, who is a sorcerer, or, more appropriately word, an apprentice sorcerer. A bloodline warrior named Noah from the Titan clan and an Ice Elf girl named Amberle can use spirit magic.

After seeing the names and what they could do, he wanted to battle with all of them, but since he was going to choose one, let’s give the lady the first chance, and her ice spirit magic seemed interesting as he looked forward to whose ice is stronger.

"Amberle is the first. I’m going to battle her.’

"Yes."

After he selected his opponent, it was immediately announced outside, and after hearing who the opponent was, it made them more excited.

Battle of the Ice element, the ruling element of Northern wasteland. And when the opponent is the young princess of the Ice Elf clan, that is another matter.

The Ice Elf is one of the few clans that can survive in the harsh cold of the northern wasteland. They are a rare elf clan that is born to control water and ice elements. The ice elf can be said to be one of the strongest beings with ice affinities.

They are now looking forward to seeing if the so-called ’Ice Lord’ is the real deal or some dumb f**k, and this battle will show them.

In another room, a few people were standing and talking with one another as a young, beautiful, tall, slender girl around fifteen or sixteen years old with a beautiful face that could capture any man’s heart and silver hair smiled when she heard the announcement of the battle.

"Look, didn’t I say, that he was going to choose me?"

"What are you feeling happy about? He must be selected because he wanted to be more popular, as everyone knows about our clan."

"And maybe he thought fighting a girl was easy."

The young, handsome guy beside her said he was trying to annoy her.

"You are just jealous; I am the one going to fight, not you, brother."

"I am not jealous."

"Okay, you two, stop it. And Amberle takes this battle seriously, even though rumours might be false, but he must have some strength; otherwise, Battle Arena wouldn’t arrange such high odds on his bets."

"Yes, Aunt, I understand."

After a minute, Apollo came out of the room and went straight to arena-1, where the battle was going to be held.

He appeared, and an announcement was made.

"Please welcome our warriors on the stage."

"On the right side, we have the mysterious Ice Lord, who showed great strength in his debut battle and shocked the crowd, and on the other side, we have Princess Amberle of the Ice Elf clan, who is known as one of the most talented spirit mages of this generation."

"Please both take positions and be ready for the battle."
