The entire palace instantly fell deathly silent. Everyone stared at the wooden golem with wide eyes, and for a split second, they felt as if the invincible War God had returned.
However, the person in the wooden golem was Yuri, not Alex, so how could he dare to challenge Slog? Wasn't that asking for defeat?
Slog also faltered slightly upon seeing this. When the wooden golem extended its finger, he almost fell to his knees.
However, he quickly came to his senses. Alex was already dead, and the person in the wooden golem was the powerless Yuri.
A sense of rage welled up in Slog's heart. He was a deputy general of the northwestern military region, and even though he wasn't all that powerful, if he didn't even dare to accept Yuri's challenge, then he would most likely become a laughingstock in the future, let alone a promotion.
Soleg turned around and cupped his hands respectfully toward the king as he said, "Your Majesty, since His Highness the Third Prince insists on a duel, I would like to make a bold request to have a duel with His Highness the Third Prince in this palace without using any weapons. Would that be possible?"
Everyone turned to the king. Slog had accepted the third prince's challenge, and only the king could decide whether the two of them would accept the duel.
Even though Yuri wasn't the king's favorite child, he was still the third prince, and not just anyone could bully him. He had already been ridiculed by all of the representatives of the various races for bringing out his wooden box, but the wooden box had been reconstructed into Alex's body.
Now, Slog was going to challenge Yuri to a duel, and if Yuri were to lose, then the royal family would be humiliated.
Amy looked at the wooden golem with a curious expression. "Does Mushroom Head also know how to fight? But that birdman of his can't even fly; how can he defeat Yuri even after transforming into a wooden golem? "
"Could it be that he really is a Gundam?" Meg was also quite curious. Even though Yuri was at the height of his youth, he didn't look like an idiot, so he most likely wouldn't do something that would embarrass himself.
"Little Mushroom Head can run into walls just by walking, yet he dares to challenge someone? What a rare sight. "Irina was also quite excited to see what would happen, and she wasn't worried in the slightest.
At the end of the day, Yuri was still the third prince. Even if Slog were ten times more courageous, he wouldn't dare to injure Yuri. He couldn't bear the consequences of doing so.
"Father, please allow me to battle him." Yuri withdrew the hand that he was pointing at Slog, and turned to the king with a determined expression.
The King looked at the wooden figure and was a little surprised. His youngest son, who had always been lazy, weak, and cowardly, had shown his courageous side today. After a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "Approved."
The attendants swiftly cleared the space in the center of the hall, while the ministers began to discuss in low voices.
"General Soleg is a fifth-rank knight. Does Your Highness really want to fight him?"
"Third Highness, you're neither a knight nor a magic caster. Are you trying to wear out General Sorg by wearing this Indestructible Wooden Golem?"
"Now that you mention it, it's possible."
"Tsk, if only His Highness could be half as hardworking as the first and second princes and not indulge in those dirty tricks, he would be able to do much better."
No one believed that Yuri would be able to defeat Slog with the wooden dummy that he had created, and there were many people who were lamenting Yuri's incompetence.
The empty space was quickly cleared, and the two sides stood at the center of the space.
Even the tall and burly Sollag only reached up to the wooden golem's neck, and the slightly raised head made him feel a little uncomfortable. The flames of fury in his heart burned even brighter, and he wanted nothing more than to punch this wooden golem to the ground and shatter its face.
"Please get ready, Your Highness and Master Slog. Don't injure anyone," the attendants announced in a loud voice.
The commotion in the hall gradually died down, and everyone was staring intently at the two of them. Even though they weren't looking forward to the outcome of the battle, everyone was curious to see how long Yuri would be able to last.
Slog twisted his neck, and a cracking sound rang out as he glared at Yuri with bulging eyes. He only needed one attack to take care of this brat.
"Please excuse me, Your Highness," Slog roared as he charged toward Yuri like a ferocious bull.
Yuri was the third prince, after all, so no matter how furious he was, he didn't dare to hurt him in this hall.
He was only doing this in order to impress Sean, and he was a general, so he naturally couldn't appear weak.
As for Yuri, he was a piece of trash to begin with, so there was no need for him to care about what he thought.
Slog was striding forward with an imposing aura, and there was a stark contrast between Yuri, who was still standing there like a wooden stake. The outcome of this battle would most likely be decided in a single strike.
Gajeel wore a mocking expression on his face. Regardless of whether it was the third prince of the Roth Empire being defeated by a puny general or Alex's wooden golem being trampled on, these were all scenes that he loved to see. Furthermore, he didn't have to do anything.
"Go, Mushroom Head! Go for it! " Amy cheered for Yuri in a quiet voice. There was a hint of nervousness on her little face, and her focused expression was very adorable.
Slog's right hand reached toward the wooden golem's neck, and he leaned to the side as he prepared to suplex Yuri before locking him in place to end this battle.
The veins on his muscular arms were bulging. As a 5th-tier knight, his strength was already comparable to that of an Ironhide Bull, so dealing with a slow-moving wooden golem was naturally a piece of cake for him.
A sinister smile appeared on Slog's face. Even though the person that he could only look up to in the past was nothing more than a wooden block, he was still very excited to be able to defeat him.
He could already envision Alex being suplex by himself. That would definitely be the highlight of his life.
Some of the female guests had already covered their eyes. Alex had once been the dream lover of many women. Even though he was only a wooden golem, they didn't want to see him being taken down.
A cold smile appeared on Sean's face. He was now rather curious as to whether Alex would also be trampled on like a wooden golem after he was found. Would he be challenged by ants who had once only been able to look up to him?
That was going to be very interesting.
Everyone was waiting for Yuri's wooden puppet to be knocked down by a single blow, and then Solar would be the winner of this duel.
However, right at this moment, the immobile wooden golem suddenly raised its right hand, and its movements were no longer sluggish. A crisp crack rang out as it latched onto Slog's wrist like a bolt of lightning. It then spun around in a fluid motion, and threw Slog forward with a perfect combination of arms and waist.
Slog's massive body flew through the air in a graceful arc before being viciously slammed into the ground.
