[The Monarchs are waiting for you in the Upper Realm]

[The Shadow Monarch looks at you with intrigue]

Zeref cracked his neck left and right, stepping out of his meditation.

'It's time.' Voadhailis also stretched his limbs, blowing flames from his mouth. He leaped up from beside Zeref and landed on his shoulder. 

Zeref clicked his finger, leaving a short message for Malia and his mother, before teleporting away directly to the Upper realm.

A burst of cheers engulfed the arena as Zeref was shown on a large screen. Zeref had teleported in the arena, being the last candidate to have landed for the battle royale. 

"Welcome! Welcome! Zeref Amara, The Lightning Candidate." A presenter immediately appeared by his side, wearing a black suit. He shoved the mic in front of Zeref's face. 

"Do you have any words before we begin the last stage of the Monarch Games?"
