The number of the die was 3 so I was allowed to go to the finals for free. I chose to spectate the battle between Poseidon and Zeus. Poseidon used his trident to attack Zeus immediately after the match started. Zeus, being the god of lightning reacted to the attack and blocked it using a shield he got from the first test. Poseidon took out a lance out of nowhere and pierced through Zeus's shield.
Zeus was shocked at how a shield he got from clearing a dungeon could break this easily. Poseidon explained, " This is the lance of Longinus I got from clearing one of the dungeons it specialises in destroying shields so you have no choice but to lose, Zeus".
It looked like Poseidon has the upper hand but I know for a fact that someone who cleared 2 more dungeons than Poseidon and who was also stronger than Poseidon before has no chance of losing unless he is an absolute moron. As I thought Zeus picked up the pace and started to rapidly attack Poseidon. Poseidon could only defend and had no chance of counterattack.
Poseidon dropped his lance and took out a shield which was a big mistake as he would give his opponent who is as fast as lightning an opening to attack. Zeus realised this and finished Poseidon off in one blow using his thunderbolt.
I expected this to happen but the only thing that is bugging me was how and where did Poseidon take his weapons out from? I asked Apollo about this and he laughed saying that I didn't know something like this and still made it to the finals. I wanted to kill him right there but maybe I will do it after he answers the question.
Apollo said " All the items Poseidon took out were kept in his spatial ring. Spatial rings are also sold in artifact shops which allows the user to hold items inside the spatial ring. There are 3 grades of the spatial ring, low, intermediate and high grade. Each can hold 5, 10 and 15 items respectively. They were all made by Hephaestus the only ascended blacksmith mage ".
I let Apollo live since the information he gave is a bit interesting. It was time for my battle with Zeus. Zeus laughed at me saying " I am amazed you made it this far but this is the end kid do you see what I have in my hand? ". Zeus was holding some kind of a vase.
" It does not matter if you have the skill or not this vase is called Pandora's box it can kill anyone as long as I know their magic. The only downside is if I guessed wrong I would die. It can only be used once a year so it's a shame to use it on you but I don't see anyone who can rival me once I become the spirit king. Now begone I choose that my enemy's magic is spatial magic" said Zeus.
"You only won because of artifacts now die," said Zeus. Which were his famous last words as he died. I won and got the right to become the spirit king. Zeus was shocked he asked with anger " You only used spatial magic up until now how is it, not your magic? Do you have an artifact that uses spatial magic as well answer meeeeeee ". I replied to him that he will never know.
The reward was given to me and my grimoire started to change. My grimoire which was a four-leaf clover went through some changes. Every leaf of the four leaves became a four-leaf clover. In short, my four clovers became a 16-leaf clover grimoire with a round in the middle.
My Ancient copy magic was upgraded to ultimate copy magic which I used to upgrade all my magic to ultimate rank. I became the spirit king and ruled over the spirit realm and oh that's it, that's the end of the story.
THE END (for now)
