With the elder pinned inside my entropy cage, I didn't need to do anything at all to win the fight against him. Just by finishing the cage at its bottom, I forced the stone floor on which he stood start to evaporate, slowly but steadily digging up a hole perfectly aligned with the size of my barrier.

"What is this peculiar technique?"

After several attempts to break through his confines either aimed at jumping out of it or simply smashing it into bits, with the bones on his first revealed as the entropy erased all the meat of his fingers when he attempted to just break it with force.

Yet rather than panicking in face of the situation that he was unable to overcome, this strange elder simply looked at me with a curiosity written on his face.

"The fact that you don't know it only proves how low did you guys fallen from your former grace."

Rather than answering directly, I uttered one of my prepared lies that would line up nicely with the story I had in my mind. While claiming that they lost the knowledge that truly made them what they claimed to be would sound nicer and more provocative, since I found all the records that I was basing my fictional story in their own library, I had to find another way to bring up the points I wanted.

After all, if I were to just infodump them about what I pretended to be my real origin, they would have a hard time actually believing in it!

That's why, rather than telling them everything outright, I was just dropping hints here and there, hoping that the smarter part of the bunch would be able to connect the dots and come to the realisation of what I really had in mind!

Just like in discussion, if you wanted to make sure your debate opponent would agree to what you wanted to convince him for, rather than forcing him to hear your arguments over and over again, it was better to just guide him towards your desired end result, so that he would find it plausible by himself!

"What do you mean by that? Fall from our grace? Seeing the situation, I have no other choice but acknowledge your strength, but if you want to say something, do so rather than playing an edgy, mysterious guy!"

Seeing right through my intention, Elder attempted to scold me, yet seeing that his words would actually make others wonder what I was attempting to do just like he pointed out, I simply added a bit more entropy to the part of the barrier that was eroding the stone beneath him.

In the same instant, the rocks under the elder finally gave up, turning into a small avalanche of small stones. Without any support that would hold them together, both the stones and the elder suddenly plummeted from the area, falling down towards the barrier.

Yet I wasn't going to just break my own cage now, making sure to block my opponent from escaping and using some kind of art to reach back for the fighting stage. Only when the entropy neared the point of touching the barrier I allowed it to return to me. Holding the entropy prison just slightly above the arena barrier, I saw the elder fall through it with a dumbfounded look on his face.

"It seems that you only amount to this much… It's not a surprise you were chased away from the continent. If that's the level of your elders, then it would be strange if you were to defeat the Oniar tribes!"

Rather than giving any more hints regarding the background of the character I came up with for myself, I simply proved to everyone listening that knew what I was speaking about that I came here from the continent itself, or at least somehow knew about the forbidden name of the mortal enemies for the locals, who chased them away from their old home.

"HOW DARE YOU SPELL THIS WORD!"

Instantaneous reaction.

Before I could even ask for the next challenger, the gorilla sect leader, to come and kindly fulfil his duty of fighting with me, a burly man already appeared on the disc stage, with his eyes blazing in fury.

"Oh? Did harsh truth made you angry?"

Rather than allowing the situation to sweep me along and let the two of us duke it out, I couldn't help but provoke this man even stronger. As long as he went all out since the beginning, I would have the chance to finally gauge the strength of the upper echelons in terms of strength for this place, giving me some intel as to what I could expect from the ancestors that I would fight next!

"Fight me if you have the guts to do it!"

Seeing that there was no point in trying to provoke him even more, I only turned my head to the peak of the mountain, awaiting the verdict of the ancestor overseeing this challenge.

"Do you wish to fight him, or are you willing to retract your supremacy act, invader?"

In the end, I didn't declare whether I was willing to fight even a single person more. In fact, the first of my objectives was already fulfilled so there would be nothing wrong in slapping this angry man in his face by just ending the fun, but with how my main reason for this ruse in the first place was to take over this entire place rather than establishing Pengu as guardian of Penguin sect alone, I only nodded my head.

"Yeah, I can fight him. Bring it on, old man!"

Even though this sect leader that came to the stage, as after defeating normal elder only he was in power to accept my challenge, was way younger than the man I just fought, from the thick aura of his energy that I saw when scanning him with energy vision, I could tell that in reality, despite his younger appearance, he was actually older even then this elder!

"Since you agree, there is no point in wasting our time anymore. Fight!"
