Everyone was surprised by Yales display of strength; it was obvious that he wasnt serious until the last battle and that even in the sky persecution he had been restraining himself, with the speed he was using at the last battle, having caught his opponent would have been without any difficulties.

At the start, the other participants who had already been disqualified thought that Yale was just a lucky kid who reached the second position because the ones stronger than him had lost against the city chiefs grandson and that his chances of winning were zero. However, after starting to see his battle against the city chiefs son, they didnt dare to say anything as they understood that Yale was powerful.

Shirk stood behind Sebe looking at Yales battle with admiration in his eyes. At that moment he was sure that even in his best state, he wouldnt be able to beat Yale. Shirk had no doubts about the reasons for Sebe showing that much interest in Yale; there was no doubt that Yale was an extraordinary genius worthy of the princes friendship.

Shirk wasnt the only one thinking in that way; everyone thought that Yale would reach the Top 10 as long as he didnt have too bad luck because there werent that many people stronger than him. However, they had never thought that his battle prowess would be that high, they were praising Sebes good eyesight to make friends.

A breakthrough in the midst of the final battle? There is no way that is a mere coincidence; Yale had been restraining himself to advance at the right moment.

When Sebe saw that Yale managed to send flying his opponent and heard the words of city chiefs grandson; he had no doubts that Yale had planned that breakthrough.

For someone who just relied on the bloodline to advance, that would be impossible as they couldnt control their speed to advance, but to someone who relied on training, doing that wasnt that difficult.

As the battle continued, everyone got impressed by the rain of ice swords, and the ones with the best eyesight noticed that Yale was also charging towards his opponent while he was distracted by the rain of swords.

It wasnt difficult for them to notice that it was Yales last attack and that if that last attack were successful or not would decide the result of the battle.

***

Yales sword pierced through his opponents heart and started to freeze him from the inside; Yales last attack was successful.

The city chiefs grandson let out a cry filled with pain. He had never expected that Yales strength would boost again and that he would be ruthless enough to aim his heart.

Give up right now, and you will be saved. I know that you have the Demonic Hell Goats bloodline. Everyone with that bloodline has a second heart, as long as you receive a proper healing your first heart can be recovered. Moreover, your life wont be in danger even with only one heart. However, although the ice inside your body can be healed, if you continue to battle I can ensure to you that your body wont be able to endure the freezing process and you will die.

Against an opponent who was far stronger than him, unless he left the opponent without any chances to battle, there is no way for the other party to give up.

The other party hadnt even launched a single attack towards Yale since the start of the battle; he had just defended. Yale wasnt sure to be able to resist too many attacks without revealing that he could heal himself.

Destroying one heart of someone with a Demonic Hell Goats bloodline wasnt deadly, but their battle prowess will fall enormously until the heart would be healed because to use correctly their bloodline they need to use the two hearts.

The most ruthless part was the inner freezing, the body of the city chiefs grandson was being frozen from the inside bit a bit, without a proper healing, he would die without any doubt.

Yale would have never been able to execute that plan without going all out and the fact his opponent was underestimating him. However, underestimating an opponent was the biggest mistake in a battle, it wasnt wrong for Yale to use that fact to obtain the victory.

Yales idea of freezing him from the inside came from a book he had read about the Frost Winged Wolves. It explained that in the past when the Frost Winged Wolves went hunting, they froze the inner body of their preys after biting them and in that way the opponents had difficulties to battle and it made possible for a Frost Winged Wolf to hunt big groups alone.

The Demonic Hell Goats were just one of the preys of the Frost Winged Wolves the books described, so Yale decided to use the same strategy to beat an opponent who had that bloodline.

The Frost Winged Wolves were scarce even in the past, but their power combined with their flying abilities turned them into one of the most fearsome depredators.

There were just a few types of beasts with enough power to not being their preys, and even those beast wouldnt try to mess with them without reasons. The same applied in reverse; the Frost Winged Wolves hadnt tried to pick fights with beasts at their same level without a good reason.

You you really cheated me

Yale had taken out his sword and distanced from the city chiefs grandson, but he was able to hear his words without any problems.

Cheated? I never told I was ready to lose against you nor that I was unable to win against you. You were the one who decided that I wasnt a match for you, and thus you lowered your guard, that is your fault and in a real battle that is enough to cost your life. Furthermore, you are a goat, and I am a wolf, what is wrong with a wolf beating a goat, it would be more strange if you had beaten me.

Yales words hit just on his opponents pride, those with bloodlines from beasts that were considered preys for almost everyone usually had a complex about that and thought that they were the true depredators despising others to improve their ego. Thus, having someone with the bloodline of a true depredator beating him and saying those words was a critical hit to his mindset.

The Demonic Hell Goat was a good beast, it was powerful and also ate meat, it was different from normal goats. A lot of weaker beasts were preys for the Demonic Hell Goat, but it was an inferior beast compared with a Frost Winged Wolf.

Yales opponent felt that his body was turning even more difficult to move as time passed, the freezing inside his body wasnt a joke, Yale wasnt planning to kill him, but if he remained stubborn that freezing would end with his life in some minutes.

If the city chiefs grandson had his two hearts, he would be able to stop that freezing himself, although he would be unable to reverse the freezing quickly at least he would be able to stop its advance, but after having lost one heart, he was too weak, without external help he couldnt get stop the ice.

This time you win, but the next time I will show you that even a goat can eat a wolf.

After saying those words, he broke his token and left the training camp.

***

The city chief rushed towards his grandson and started to put the best healing pills he had into his mouth.

Although he was a bit angry about how Yale had won the battle, the main fault was from his grandson for underestimating his opponent, and he also knew that Yale could have killed his grandson if he wanted. Just letting the sword a bit more time in the body and the ice would have ended with his grandsons life before anyone could help him.

Do you want some help? I will make a discount to heal your grandson.

Sebe was very happy after Yale had won, so he decided to do a favor to the city chief as that would also ensure that he wouldnt take retaliation towards Yale as long he wasnt foolish enough to not understand Sebes reasons for helping his grandson.

Please prince Sebe. With your healing skills, my dear grandson will be able to recuperate in a short time.

The city elder wasnt a fool and know very well that the discount was just a way of telling him to avoid having bad intentions towards Yale. After all, there was no way someone like him could pay a prince to heal his grandson, that discount was making the cost almost free in comparison, the small price was just for the appearances.

With just healing pills, it wasnt possible for his grandson to be fully healed in less than a year and that was using the best kind of healing pills the chief elder had. After all, regenerating a heart was difficult.

However, with Sebes help the heart would be healed in minutes, and then, with just a bit of rest, the city chiefs grandson would be again in his best state. As for the freezing, that was easy to heal with elemental healing magic for someone at Sebes level.
