To become the Emperor

Chapter 4

No one POV

"Are you ready for today Lord Rocky?"

Ralph yawned and stood up with a stretch, cracking his neck a bit before smiling.

"Of course."

Zenith smiled before putting her mask on, hiding her face once again.

"Well then, since you're so confident you better win. It's a battle to the death you know. If you start to lose I won't hesitate to jump in and run off with you."

Ralph laughed a bit before cracking his knuckles.

"Have a little faith in me won't you? I may seem over confident but it's for good reason. That pig...he isn't very good at fighting."

"He's an advisor of the emperor, what do you mean he's not good at fighting?"

Ralph just began to walk off, laughing to himself a bit more.

"You'll see what I mean."

Zenith rushed to finish getting ready before she chased after him, heading out the lodge as well. The two walked together to the large coliseum, Zenith talking to Ralph about his careless nature the entire time.

After arriving at the large arena, the two were escorted inside by one of the guards in the area. He was wearing very cool armor, it made Ralph want it, but he behaved himself.

The two continued to follow the guard until they ended up in front of the walkway to the official arena.

"You may enter."

Ralph smirked and went to walk forward, but his hand was grabbed by Zenith, which caused him to stop and look back.

"What is it?"

"Rocky...don't die."

Ralph laughed before giving her a reassuring smile.

"I won't. You should know more than anyone how strong I am."

"On the left side of the arena, we have the warrior Ralph!!"

Ralph walked into the arena, people booing for him and calling him all sorts of names. Ralph bathed in the hate and hyped himself up as he walked to the middle of the arena.

"Where's the pig?"

"On the right side of the arena, we have our Lord! The greatest man in Osaka! One of the legendary advisors of the emperor! Raiya the Boar!!!"

The people began to cheer as Raiya walked from the other entrance, dressed in a very stunning cloth and his large sword in hand. He walked to the middle of the arena, looking up at Ralph with a smug expression.

"You're about to die for your constant disrespect towards Raiya the Boar of the Empire. Any last words boy?"

"Yeah, your breath fucking stinks."

The two backed up a bit and waited, Ralph jumping up and down in excitement.

"Begin!"

Ralph landed on the floor as a wild smile spread across his face, he took off running towards Raiya as Raiya upped his very large sword to attack. When Ralph got close he went to swing it, but Ralph punched him in the face before he could.

Raiya stumbled back and swung his sword, causing Ralph to slide under it before jumping up and kicking him in the stomach. Ralph then grabbed him by the face and slammed into the ground, causing him to drop his sword.
