Super Template System In Marvel and Beyond-Chapter 217: National Competition IX

"I like dark and edgy stuff," Dave added. "So yeah, I get you. Summoning powerful Death Knights and Liches at once? That's pretty sick."

"So, what now?" Agnus asked.

"Well, I guess we've played enough," Dave said as a long flame spear appeared in his hand. With a swift throw, it pierced through Agnus. The necromancer tried to block it but suddenly Ice chains bound him.

"Sayonara," Dave whispered as the spear pierced him.

[You have inflicted 19,087 damage]

[Agnus has been eliminated]

"Wow... we've just got our finalist-rankers: Sky King Kraugel andHero King Dave!" the announcer shouted as the crowd erupted in cheers.

"Next match will decide who is the true King of the Satisfy," the commentator said, as the day came to an end. The match was set for the next day.

Dave went back to his team booth as everyone welcomed him.

"Yuta, that was cool!" his aunt said, as some players also cheered for him.

"Damn, you're better at swordsmanship than me, even though I chose the Sword class," she added with a grin, and Dave just nodded.

"But the next match is going to be great — the Sky Above Sky, Kraugel. His combos are insane. I wonder who will win between you two?"

"Yeah, you could say I'm insane, but so is he. I really wonder who will come out on top." Dave replied as he was really looking forward to it ' I really want to fight him with Sword but the stage is for Mumud Template mission so I can only use magic tomorrow' he inwardly thought as he went back to rest.

Soon the day passed in the blink of an eye, and the next day arrived. The stadium was filled with a roaring audience, as two of the greatest players were about to face off — the Sky Above Sky, Kraugel, and the Hero King, Dave.

Everyone was excited to witness this phenomenal match.

"Everyone! How are you doing today?" the announcer cheered loudly.

"Today is the final day of the very first Satisfy National Competition — and also the day we will determine the true King of Satisfy!"

The final PvP match between Kraugel and Dave will decide it all," he said excitedly as the crowd erupted in cheers.

"And for this match, we have set a very special battlefield!" he said as the ground beneath them began to glow and reshape into a massive arena resembling a war-torn battlefield, complete with craters, broken swords, and ancient relics scattered around.

"The battlefield is now a true scene of war. Only the last two kings remain — and they're about to clash!"

On one side stood Dave, clad in his Dark Sorcerer set, and on the other was Kraugel, wearing his divine, swordmaster-like silver set.

"Hold on a second—am I seeing this right?! Dave is holding a staff!" the announcer said with shock.

Mages typically use wands, orbs, or staffs — wands for precision, orbs for faster chanting, and staffs for pure amplification. Most players use orbs... but Dave is wielding a staff!

"It seems we're truly going to witness an incredible match!" the announcer declared.

Using Staff is dual edged sword, as it don't help in faster Chanting which is normally required for a Mage, only those who are confident in themselves will use the Staff.

"3..."

The announcer's voice echoed as the countdown began.

"2..."

"1... Begin!"

The referee raised his hand, and the match officially started!

Kraugel didn't hesitate — in an instant, he dashed toward Dave. Dave reacted just as quickly, casting a shadow blink spell, vanishing from his position. However, Kraugel anticipated the move and slashed at the space behind him the moment Dave reappeared.

It was as if Kraugel had read Dave's movement perfectly.

'Just how many spells has he memorized in such a short amount of time?' someone in the audience muttered in disbelief.

But Dave wasn't flustered. With a calm expression, he immediately retaliated with a powerful magical burst, casting a chain of elemental spells aimed directly at Kraugel.

Kraugel dodged most of them, but the last spell — Mine Thunder — exploded right under his feet, sending a shockwave through the arena and forcing him back.

"Oh my, he landed that! Dave's spell connected!"

The crowd roared as the dust began to settle.

Kraugel skidded backward, his boots carving lines across the battlefield as the Mine Thunder's residual electricity crackled around him. He exhaled slowly, steam rising from his shoulder plate — he had barely avoided a direct hit.

"You're better than I expected..." he muttered, gripping his sword tighter. His eyes narrowed.

Dave stood calmly, holding his staff at the ready. A faint glow pulsed from the runes engraved along its shaft.

"You're not bad yourself," Dave replied. "I can see why they call you the sky above the sky."

Without another word, Kraugel burst forward again, but this time, his movements were even sharper, faster — Flash Bloom!

A cascade of slashes erupted like a flower in bloom, aiming to overwhelm Dave's defenses. The Hero King responded with a spin, slamming his staff into the ground — Mana Fortress: Crystal Dome!

A shimmering barrier of ice and arcane energy formed instantly, deflecting the flurry of strikes, but cracks formed quickly as Kraugel poured more force into his attack.

"Insane! He's forcing Dave to go full defense!"

"And look! Dave's countering already!" the announcer shouted as the crowd stood on the edge of their seats.

With a flick of his wrist, Dave cast Elemental bolts, and the shattered barrier fragments turned into dozens of magic bolts that surged toward Kraugel like guided missiles.
