In the Greater Blood Dragon World,
'Master, I have completed the mission without anyone noticing.'
An old man bowed to Ryder, the Blood Dragon Emperor as the old man informed him about the status of a mission he was given.
"Good. You can go back and do whatever you are doing."
Ryder revealed a satisfied look on his face as he sent the old man away before muttering, 'Little Ryan, I know you don't like when I look after you; however, if you don't win this trial, you will develop inner demons. So, I hope you can forgive me.'
Looking at Ryan in the mirror hovering in front of him, Ryder could not help but apologise to his great-grandson.
...
In one of the Trial Worlds,
'I challenge the Twilight Dragonling to a duel.'
As soon as he got the Divine Dragon Flag, Ryan didn't waste any time as he challenged Twilight.
[The Blood Dragonling issued a challenge to the Twilight Dragonling]
[There will be a five-minute preparation time before the duel officially starts]
Like always, the one who got challenged was teleported to the one who issued the challenge and they were given a five-minute preparation.
....
'It looks like the Twilight Dragonling's luck is not good.'
'Yeah...otherwise, how could Ryan find a Divine Dragon Flag on the last day of the trial?'
'As long as the Twilight Dragonling forfeits the match, he could still maintain the second place which was not bad.'
'Yeah...this Twilight Dragonling was a complete Darkhorse as there was no information available about him. So, for him to get a second place could be still considered as an achievement.'
'However, do you think he will forfeit the match?'
'From the looks of it, he was also a battle freak and didn't mind accepting the challenges back to back.'
'Whatever, I am hoping he won't forfeit the match and give his best performance.'
Since it could be considered as the final match of the trial that decides the winner of the trial, all the mirrors displayed their fight, making the onlookers excited about the fight.
....
[Heavenly Dragon Insight]
Even though Twilight was a battle freak, he knew that he had to win this duel at any cost; otherwise, he believed that Ajax would be a little disappointed in him.
Hence, Twilight used every second of the preparation time to make a thorough plan to win the duel with the Blood Dragonling.
...
Name: Ryan, the Blood Dragon.
Divine Rule: Blood, (10 percent awakening).
Skill: Heavenly Dragon Suppression: Upon activation of the skill, all dragons will be suppressed and cannot even take a single step forward, much less fight him.
Bloodline: Blood Dragon Emperor's Bloodline.
When activated together with the Divine Rule, it can reset or lessen the duration of the cooldown for the Divine Rule depending on the usage of the Divine Rule.
Skills: Blood Clones, Blood Regeneration,...
...
'His is completely on a different level.'
Twilight frowned when he saw the full information on Ryan and knew that it would be very difficult to defeat Ryan.
'However, I still need to win the duel against him at any cost.'
With that thought in mind, Twilight started thinking of the counterattacks for Ryan's every skill and move, hoping that he could beat Ryan.
'In this battle, I have two advantages. One is the awakening percentage of my Divine Dark Rule is 20 percent higher than his Divine Bloodline. So, I can keep my Divine Dark Rule for longer.'
'As for the second advantage, with the help of the [Heavenly Dragon Insights], I know all his skills, Divine Rule and Bloodline.'
Thinking of these two advantages, Twilight felt that his chances of winning would be higher than he originally thought.
'Moreover, there is a heaven-defying move that I could use it against him and I should make sure to waste his skills with that move.'
The more Twilight thinks about his moves and his opponent's moves, the more confident Twilight becomes as he cannot waste to fight Ryan.
[The fight between the Twilight Dragonling and the Blood Dragonling will officially begin now]
The 5-minute preparation time was over in no time as the battle for the champion of the trial had begun.
....
[Blood Claws]
[Dragon Claws]
As soon as the duel between Twilight and Ryan officially started, no one wasted any time as Twilight and Ryan used their basic attacks to rest each other's strength.
'Clang'
The red-coloured and the black-coloured claws clashed as the metallic sound resounded in the world and their first attack ended up as a draw.
"Not bad...not bad. You must be close to Lynn's battle prowess."
Ryan nodded his head at Twilight and muttered, "If it was not the last day of the trial, I would have dragged the fight for at least five hours; however, now, I just want to end the fight and get the championship for this year's Trial of the Divine Dragons."
As soon as he finished his words, Ryan bit his palm as many drops of blood rushed out from his palm.
[Blood Clones]
Every single drop of blood transformed into his clone and rushed at Twilight.
'Swoosh'
There were nearly 100 blood clones and all of them have the strength of 80 percent of Ryan's battle prowess.
Hence, Ryan was confident in taking Twilight unless he had a trump card like Divine Rule.
On the other hand, Twilight remained calm and composed while looking at 100 Ryans running at him with blood claws, aiming to kill him in just one attack.
"It was the same for me and I don't want to waste any time fighting with you."
After saying these words, Twilight didn't hesitate to activate his Divine Dark Rule.
'[Divine Dark Rule], activate.'
Since it's been more than five days since Twilight activated his Divine Rule after using it for less than 10 seconds, no one was surprised that Twilight was able to activate the Divine Dark Rule again.
Instead, they were looking forward to seeing how long he would last against Ryan.
[Divine Protection]
While muttering the name of a passive skill, Twilight sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.
