" Are you willing to part your money when you lost" asked the vice leader with a smile.

" You will be the one to lose this time around," said the leader with a smile.

" That was exactly what you said the last time, but it all ended with you losing, hopefully" replied the vice leader as he burst into laughter.

" We will have to wait and see who will have the last laugh later on," said the leader with a scoffed.

" I can't wait to see how it will end, so how many spirit stone are going to be in stack here" asked the vice leader.

" How about we raise to two hundred thousand low grade spirit stone" replied the leader while raising two fingers for the vice leader to see.

" Alright then two hundred thousand it is, I hope you won't regret this decision" said the vice leader.

" I should be the one saying that to you," replied the leader.

" Too bad I beat you to it, time to go have a nap. All this travelling really ware me out this time around," said the vice leader as he walked out of the crowd.

" So what time are you going to challenge josh to the dual," asked Gray when the vice leader walk out.

" Two day for now, I have to get back to my peak state and right now I am not, so two days should be more than enough" replied Ellis.

" Two days seen kind of forever, why don't we just have the fight tomorrow instead of waiting that long," said Ray.

" It seems to me like you want to have another duel with me Ray and I promise you this time I won't be holding anything back" said Ellis as he begins to crack his hands.

" Like I said previously, enjoy the moment when you still can because after I Break through I will bully you for straight one month no rest before I will let you off" said Ray to Ellis.

" Are you threaten me," asked Ellis with a chuckle.

" You can call it whatever you want to it none of my business" replied Ray as he stares at Ellis coldly.

" Come on guys, that enough for the day" said Gray as he tries to quench the fire between the two.

" Haha it's nothing, we are just fooling around as usual. So where is my share of the reward," asked Ellis with a laugh as he looked at Gray for a reply.

" Oh I am really sorry I forgot about that, can I have your tag please" said Gray as he stretch his hand forward to receive the tag from Ellis.

Not wasting any of his time, Ellis quickly fish out his tag and hand it over for Gray to transfer his share of the reward and within a minute and some second the transaction was successful.

" Here is your share" said Gray as he handed the tag back to Ellis.

" Oh, thank you very much an if you don't mind I will be taking my leave now" replied Ellis as he took his tag back.

" And where do you plan on going," asked Ray when he saw his friend Hurriedly walking out of the guild.

" To get some rich food to eat of course or do you like the way I am looking right now" replied Ellis as he slow down a little.

" And I actually thought you are going to purchase some stuff with your point" said Ray.

They two of them walk out of the guild and head to the nearest restaurant to get some food before going home to rest as Ellis was being eating a roasted wild pig.

" How are you able to eat the whole thing and still not getting any fatter," asked Ray when he looked at Ellis ravaging the roasted pig like someone who has been in the prison for many years now.

" Buff, that's much better, now that I have eaten enough nourishing meal getting my fat back won't be a problem" replied Ellis as he buffed.

" Yeah and I think you should start making preparation for the dual with Josh" said Ray.

" There is no need in making preparation to give that arrogant fool a beat down like I did to you" said Ellis only for him to realize he shouldn't have said that last part.

" Enjoy the moment Ellis for it won't be long before I attempted to break through my current stage, and it is going to be a nightmare for you, this I promise you" replied Ray with a sinister smile.

" And at the end of the day it's all empty talk" said Ellis as he chuckled.

" But seriously you really need to prepare because josh has really taken you serious and has not to the guild for some months now which means he is making preparation" said Ray as he tried to advise his friend.

" Like I said, I don't have any trouble dealing with him, if he like let him go on seclusion for one year it won't change a thing as long as he is not in the same level as the leader of the worshippers am not worried" replied Ellis.

" So you are really confident in yourself that you will be able to beat him," asked Ray.

" Am a hundred percent sure that he will be a walk in the park," replied Ellis.

" You know that I am betting on my points on you winning, so I need you to prepare beforehand" said Ray.

" Don't you believe in my strength any more" asked Ellis.

" it Is not that I don't believe, but you are looking down on your opponent" replied Ray.

" I am not underestimating him, I already have my plans lay out and all that I am waiting for right now is the time to execute them, " said Ellis.

" You see that is much better, I never knew you have a plan, and you didn't even bother to tell me. What kind of friend you are," asked Ray with a smile on his face.

" I thought you don't want to listen to my plan which is why I kept quiet" replied Ellis.

" As long as it don't involved me, I don't want to hear about it, but you should have told me that you a plan to put me mind at ease," said Ray.

" Okay so now that you know can you let me be," asked Ellis with a frown.

" Sure, go rest and absorb the nutrition from the meal," replied Ray as he got up and begin to head for the door.

" And where do you think you are going," asked Ellis when he saw Ray walking out.

" I am going to get myself a drink since you need some time to meditate, and I won't be needed here" replied Ray.

" Must you go to the pub for a drink, there are a lot of things you can do to entertain yourself," said Ellis.

" Please you can keep your suggestion to yourself because remember the last time we have a similar discussion you were saying rubbish" replied Ray as he walks out of the building while leaving Ellis alone to meditate.

Two days later after recovering his weight, Ellis went to the guild to look for Gray since he is the only access he had to find josh and inform him that he has recovered and ready for the dual which excite Gray and not wasting his time, he ran to look for josh while Ellis and Ray were inside the battle arena waiting for them to show up.

News begin to spread that josh is having a duel with one of the new squad members and before long the whole place were filled up by hunters from different squads.

" News travels really fast" said Ray in shock when he saw the crowd charging in to take their sit.

" That's how it is when there is a big fight going on" replied Ellis who seen to be used to such event.

" Does something similar also happened in the clan" asked Ray as he to turn to look at the people forcing their way into the arena.

" Yes and although it's not as crowded as this one, but it is almost close to the range" replied Ellis.

Making their way through the crowd were the leader and vice leader of the Raging Dawn squad as they went to take their sit in the front row where the view is perfect.

" I cannot wait for the match to begin," said the leader excitedly.

" Who do you plan to bet on winning," asked the vice leader?

" Who else if it is not the kid" replied the leader.

" And what makes you think he will be about to win against josh who had almost mastered his sabre technique to perfection" asked the vice leader shock when the leader said he is cheering for Ellis.

" I don't know, just taking risk is what I enjoy most about gambling" replied the leader.

" Let just hope you don't go broke for taking too much risk" said the vice leader as he turned to look at the arena.
