Protector of Skies
Protector of Skies
However, they have never been the guardians of the Purple stone world personally. So, Protector Erin asked the old man's name with a face full of respect.
The rest of the powerful cultivators also looked at the old man with faces full of respect, while trying to figure out his identity.
"Protector Olek greets the guardian of the Purple stone world 'Protector of skies'."
Before the black-robed old man could say something, Protector Olek bowed and respectfully greeted him.
'What?'
'Guardian?'
'Protector of the skies?'
Almost all of them had already guessed that the black-robed old man was the guardian after seeing him sit on the guardians' chair; however, they were still surprised.
"We greet the Protector of the skies."
"We greet the guardian."
In the next moment, everyone in the colosseum stood up from their seats and bowed to the black-robed old man.
"It's okay. Everyone sit and enjoy the fights."
The old man nodded his head as he asked everyone to sit and watch the tournament.
"Also, throw this trash out of this colosseum."
He didn't forget about King Louie and ordered someone to throw him out.
"Yes, guardian."
One of the ministers of the Flerton kingdom rushed forward and took away King Louie whose eyes lost all his life after the destruction of his spirit consciousness.
It took some time for the environment in the colosseum to return to normal; however, it has finally returned and everyone forgot about King Louie and watched the fights on the flying mirror.
'I didn't want to make an appearance so soon….sigh. But, at the same time, I can't let that b*stard killing that girl with the special body constitution.'
As for the black-robed old man, he sighed for making his appearance sooner than he expected; however, when his eyes landed on the unconscious Princess Daphne, who was sitting on the chair beside him, he felt he did the right thing.
Currently, the humans in the Purple stone world are much weaker than an average normal world and because of the foolish feud between the sets and families, the purple stone world has already become even weaker.
So, as the guardian of the Purple stone world, the black-robed old man didn't want a talented youngster to die.
'Even though the world has lost its King realm cultivator, as long as this girl is alive, she will definitely become more powerful and reach a much higher realm than the emperor of the world.'
The black-robed man was looking forward to the day when Princess Daphne became the most powerful cultivator.
…
While thinking that, the old man also started looking at the flying mirror screens one after another to see whether he could find good young cultivators to train.
Among the remaining 29 matches, the battle that attracted everyone's attention was Emmie versus Prince Eric.
The battle between the daughter of the Protector and the son of the royal family went on for a few rounds until he made a small cut on Emmie's face.
"You…how could you do this to my face?"
All of a sudden, Emmie's entire body was completely covered in flames as she looked at Prince Eric with rage.
'What the…'
Just looking at Emmie made Prince Eric shiver because he could already feel the scorching flames that were burning his soul from a distance of 100 meters.
"I am going to kill you today."
Until now, Emmie just wanted to test Prince Eric because he was the most powerful cultivator in the young generation in the Xacaster province after Ronnie, the son of the Protector Nade.
"I forfeit."
However, before Emmie could take a single step forward, Prince Eric clenched the escape space ring around his finger and shouted out loud.
'Swoosh'
'Boom'
Just as Prince Eric disappeared, Emmie, who was completely covered in flames, flew past his position, leaving a huge explosion.
If he was even a single second late, he would have received the same fate as that of Prince Diego.
'Woah…did Prince Eric forfeit the match just like that?'
'I never expected the powerful youngest cultivator to forfeit his match against a lady?'
'Idiot…didn't you see how powerful her last attack was? If he didn't use the escape space ring, he would turn into ashes.'
'Yeah. I am feeling pity for Darius. In the future, if he angers Emmie, I wonder what will happen to him.'
The onlookers shared their thoughts about the second match of the fourth round.
"This b*stard, I am going to kill him no matter what."
As for Emmie, she looked at the place where Prince Eric was standing a moment ago and shouted out loud without showing any control.
She didn't bother about the onlookers and only cared about taking revenge on Prince Eric for making a cut on her beautiful face.
'Protetor Olek, you have to save me.'
As soon as he came out of the secret realm, Prince Eric heaved a sigh of relief; however, when he heard Emmie's words, he got chills and hurriedly rushed towards Protector Olek.
'Don't worry. She is not the type to kill other humans unless you make a huge mistake.'
Protector Olek shook his head as he replied, "Also, even if you didn't forfeit the match, she would have not killed you."
"Once I come out of the secret realm, I will kill you with my own hands."
'...'
Prince Eric looked at the flying mirror where Emmie was moving here and there and became speechless as he thought in his head, 'Are you sure about it? I don't think she will let me go that easily.'
"Protector Olek, Emmie didn't get any of your qualities."
Protector Erin, the closest friend to Protector Olek, joked at him while looking at Emmie, who was still fuming with anger for the simple cut on her cheek.
"Stop joking and watch the other matches quietly."
Protector Olek was a little embarrassed by Emmie's actions as he scoffed at Protector Erin.
"This girl is good. She can become the guardian of the Purple stone world."
All of a sudden, the black-robed old man commented on Emmie, making all the protector Olek reveal an excited smile on his face.
Earlier, Protector Olek recognized the black-robed old man because he had already met him a couple of times in the past; however, at that time, he didn't think that the old man was the guardian.
Instead, he thought that the old man was someone from the greater human world who came to the Purple stone world to take some young cultivators as his disciples.
So, when he heard the compliments from the old man, Protector Olek felt that his daughter might become the disciple of the guardian.
'Among all the guardians of the world, Protector of the skies is the most righteous one and closest one to the emperor of the Purple stone world. If Emmie becomes his disciple, then her future will be limitless.'
Even though her future could not be compared to Princess Daphne who unlocked a special body constitution, as long as the guardian guides his daughter, he would be happy.

"Darius versus Prince Ralphy"
The fight between Protector Erin's son and the first prince of the Erystell family was not at all intense.
Darius completely overwhelmed Prince Ralphy with his powerful attacks; however, he was not arrogant and even guided Prince Ralphy amidst the fight.
"Brother Darius, you are truly a kind-hearted cultivator from the rumours."
After a few minutes, Prince Ralphy bowed to Darius as he continued saying, "Today, I learned so much from you and I can gladly accept my defeat."
Prince Ralphy knew when to back down as he politely replied to Darius and admitted his defeat.
"It's nothing. Let's fight again in the future."
Darius also bowed to Prince Ralphy with a slight smile on his face.
…..
"Protector Erin, your son is too kind-hearted which is not good."
The father of Prince Ralphy, King Vincent didn't like the defeat of his son as he muttered to Protector Erin in a polite tone.
"I never taught him to be kind. For a cultivator, he needs to follow his heart and he likes to be kind to fellow humans."
Protector Erin could sense that King Vincent was not as mature as his son Prince Ralphy. Nevertheless, he shook his head and didn't bother to argue much with someone like that.
"Protector Erin is correct. One must follow his heart."
The black-robed old man nodded his head as he continued, "Even though being kind to others seems like a weakness, it is actually a strength. You must follow it sometimes and you will be understood."
The last sentence of 'Protector of the skies' contained a hint of mockery to King Vincent and others who agreed with him earlier.
