BXBX NOVEL Chapter 277 Announcing The Winner
"AND THAT MY FELLOW SPECTATORS, IS THE CONCLUDING SCENE BETWEEN THE DUEL WITH THE FOUR ELDERS AGAINST THE FIRE SPIRIT KING".
The bell was rang and the announcer guy declared it as the end of the match prior to when Orun had caught the fire arrow that he set loose toward the wind elder and the fire elder.
"Are you both okay".
Orun dispersed the fire arrow in his hand before turning his head to ask for the health of the wind elder and the fire elder.
"Yes, we are fine. You arrived just in time before we got hurt".
The fire elder answered Orun\'s question, affirming their safe health.
If Orun had come in any later, the fire elder and the wind elder would have been Injured really badly, with the worst case leading to the death of them both.
The fire arrow he threw in their direction was not one they could have stopped going from how much force was packed into it before being thrown.
Orun did not intentionally do it, but did it as a result of getting too deep into the moment.
The beam that came out from the wind elder and the fire elder clapsed hand was what made Orun absorbed in the moment.
He wanted to know what it was and just how much it could resist Orun\'s arrow, what definite amount of force was needed to match the wavelength of the beam.
In his haste to find that out, Orun projected the fire arrow and imbued it with more force than necessary, thus bringing them to this moment.
The water elder and the earth elder halted whatever attacks they were planning to throw at Orun.
They stopped when the announcer declared that the duel was over, and found their way to where Orun was standing with the wind and fire elder.
"THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN AFTER THE DUEL\'S CONCLUSION, AND THE WINNER OF THIS DUEL IS!!".
The announcer was not quick to reveal the winner of the duel, purposely building up the anticipation in the minds of the spectators and the Elven elders.
Orun actually did not care if he came out victorious against the four Elven elders, or if he lost woefully against them.
His intention all along was to have fun and see how far he could go against the four elders in his base form, not to win or lose the duel.
Though to be fair, if the match was not stopped by the announcer, the earth elder would have gotten his chance to use his earth bind skill on Orun, thereby making him unable to use his legs.
It would increase the probability of the three elders, giving them a wide range and aspect to attack Orun from while he is limited to staying as he is on the ground.
They would also have made certain that Orun never succeeds a second time in breaking free from the earth leader\'s earth bind.
But looking at things from another angle, Orun would not have had the need to get his feet to touch the ground if the other elders were able to stop the fire arrow in time.
If that were to happen, he would have still been floating in the sky and attacking from there, at a range where he cannot be touched by the effect of the earth elder\'s ability.
"AND THE WINNER IS...........THE FIRE SPIRIT KING".
The announcer declared followed by a loud cheer from the spectators, all going wide and voiceful over Orun emerging as the winner.
"As we thought, defeating an elemental king was an impossible mission to begin with".
The water elder was the one who spoke up shortly after getting to where Orun was and him being announced as the winner.
The winner was concluded by the votes from from the spectators and the announcer.
As it was not a match with a definite winner, they decided to pick by judging them based on the ability displayed and on who has the upper hand the entire time of the duel.
Since Orun was the only one matched up against four Elven elders, there was a bit of favoritism and prejudice involved in he voting section.
It also has to do with Orun\'s background as the fire Elemental king, a background that all elves think highly of.
That is not to say that Orun does not actually deserve the win, but it also does not say that the Elven elders did not make any accomplishment or put up any notable fight against Orun.
"That is not true, you guys fought a good fight. I was able to win by only a slight margin".
Orun wasn\'t lying with what he said nor was he trying to flatter them and boost their morale by making them think that he was only lucky to have won.
For the most part of the duel, they controlled the flow of the battle by having Orun in a position they want him to be, which is above ground level in fear of getting to the ground and have his actions restricted.
They had him in a spot where he had to keep on making choices on what should be done to ensure his win and what shouldn\'t.
The most impressive aspect in all this, is making it so that Orun would have to break his goal of not getting hit but ended up being hit by the wind elder.
"You don\'t have to flatter us Spirit king. We are all aware that you went easy on us, yet you still won".
The wind elder responded by disagreeing with what Orun said.
It is true that he wasn\'t going at them with all he has, but the same can be said for them as well.
"The way I see it, you guys were also not taking me very seriously".
They looked and acted like they were fighting in full power, but it did not strike Orun as entirely true.
When he was exchanging blows with them, he could feel from how they responded that they were not giving it all that they had.
