The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 2617  Fourth Fight: Gloria vs. Hollie

A new day dawned, and once again the Stuart family was gathered in one of the arenas of the Armhands' headquarters city, along with their most important faction mates, to watch the fourth match of the family tournament.

This time, Gloria and Hollie were on the fighting platform, with Minos' wife in her third and possibly final match of the competition. Next month would be the fight between Kendrick and Lily, and then, two months before that, there would be the final fight, the one between Kendrick and Hollie.

But tonight's match could mean that Gloria stays in the competition or that the match between Kendrick and her younger sister is decided. As such, the key members of the faction were very interested in today's result, which could determine the outcome of the tournament and not only the future owner of the Hydras' Amulet, but also the future chosen one of Minos.

While Gloria and Hollie faced each other on the battleground, waiting for Minos' signal, Lily sat next to her father, not too sad about losing all the matches she had fought so far. To her right was a creature the size of an adult human, but with the body of a chicken, scaled and with reptilian eyes.

Its majestic wings, spiked here and there with thorns, combined with its sharp teeth to give the tiny creature a sense of power, a newborn that could devour large creatures in its first week of life.

This was none other than Lily's dragon, the first of the Stuart family's dragons to be born a few days ago.

This morning, Kendrick's dragon had also hatched and was currently sitting next to the brown-haired young man, but due to its younger age, it was smaller and less cunning than Lily's dragon.

Even so, the two little dragons, one with blue scales and the other with dark red scales, looked at each other as if they were competing with each other.

But without the permission of their 'parents', or even without the permission of Minos, the 'big dragon' in the eyes of these creatures, they wouldn't show their competitive nature there.

But even as newborns, these creatures were not easy. Minos and his entire family could see that, considering that Odys and Folli had been born with cultivation levels of 42 and 44, respectively!

"When will Miss Hollie's dragon be born?" Rhett asked as he stood next to Minos and the rest of the family, a little curious as he looked at the creature next to Lily, Folli very curious about the future.

"That will happen soon. But I'm afraid Irgim will not be as strong as Folli and Odys. The three dragon eggs bonded with my children very quickly. But Kendrick has an affinity for dragons, while Lily has a flaming power that is very compatible with Folli's power. That's why they were born strong. But Hollie's dragon won't have the same advantages." Minos analyzed, lowering his family's expectations of Irgim.

But Hollie's dragon won't have the same advantages." Minos analyzed, lowering his family's expectations of Irgim.

"Anyway, a dragon is a dragon." Hollie's mother said to Abby and Minos with a smile on her face as she looked at Lily's dragon and imagined what Hollie's, her beloved youngest daughter, would look like.

Abby agreed with Ruth. "Anyway, these dragons will grow up fast. They'll be level 70 by the time we leave for Uzira."

The only problem with the dragons was that they grew in their sleep. Every time they took a nap, they woke up stronger, which was good on one hand, but bad on the other, because they had to stay asleep for a long time to grow.

Minos said, "Kendrick and the others will take good care of them. It's just a shame that I couldn't get more eggs... But with luck, Folli will lay eggs in the future."

Minos looked at the small, dark red dragon, the only female of his family's dragons, as far as he could tell, considering the sex of the dragon that would leave Hollie's egg in the next two days.

"When they grow up, we'll let them mate." Minos added, imagining that this would create a line of dragons loyal to the family.

Lily listened to her father and massaged her baby's back, while Folli looked at his 'mother' innocently, not knowing what this girl had in mind.

"Anyway, when these dragons reach level 90, we'll have to recruit them as guild members. Until then, they can just be our children's mounts." Minos stood up and prepared to start Gloria and Hollie's fight.

Changing the subject, he said in a louder tone. "Very well. You already know the rules and boundaries. Good luck to both of you, and may the best one win!"

After Minos stopped speaking, seals fell on Gloria and Hollie's bodies, with the young woman's stepmother feeling her cultivation limited to the same level as the girl in front of her.

"Aunt Gloria, I'm sorry, but this is the end of the line for you," Hollie said, as she activated her powers. She instantly makes Gloria feel something similar to what she had felt in the fight against Kendrick.

Gloria knew she couldn't stop Kendrick and Hollie from using the powerful ability they had inherited from Minos. She simply used what she had at her disposal, transforming the battle platform they were on into a world of mercury.

But Hollie was different from Kendrick. In addition to a similar ability to Minos, she had a divine ability that was quite different from her older brother's. With her ability to control the vitality of those within her reach, she could easily increase the difficulty of fighting her!

Gloria sensed the differences between Hollie and Kendrick from the beginning of the battle. Despite being at a lower level than her stepdaughter, the mature red-haired woman felt her breathing increase while the world around her seemed to speed up.

'Damn! Hollie is much more intelligent than Kendrick. She'd never give an opponent a chance against her!' Gloria saw Hollie appear in front of her as the girl's fist quickly approached Gloria's stomach. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

'I'm sorry, Auntie. I'm going to win this tournament.' Hollie smiled as she unleashed a final attack, using the vitality she had stolen from Gloria to increase the power of her attack!
