10 Gravytown

After a month and a half of traveling Perya and the others arrived in Gravytown, the realm of technology, the place from which the most advanced technologies in all of Draconia come out, when they arrived they settled in a hotel to rest and replenish their energies, however when they arrive they find very strange things, many elves seemed to be in constant fear when they approached, everyone fled as if they couldn't talk to anyone, and if they did they could pay dearly. After 1-hour, royal guards approached them and demanded that they introduce themselves to King Shikki, with some trepidation they went to the palace and when they got there everyone was very surprised, because the king looked quite scary, he was quite big. about 2 meters tall, in very technological armor, he welcomes them and says it's been a while since Gravytown has had visitors, and asks them why they're in town, they say they're just passing through, they're just they wanted to rest a little and then they would be on the way straight to Skyus, the king laughs a little and says that if that was all there was no reason to worry, on the way out of the palace everyone sees something that leaves them amazed, they see several elves being used as slaves to produce new technologies, all working non-stop, and being harassed to work without any rest, Perya immediately jumps in to try to save them, but she is impeded by a gravitational field, the king says he was hoping she would see this because he felt immense power coming from her and wanted him to ditch him, and for that he needed her to want to fight so he says if she wants everyone to be free, she must face him in a duel and if she wins everyone would be free, but if she lost she should become a slave like the others and help him create an empire, she says she gladly accepts and says she's going to finish him and then he says that the duel starts at noon.

After every one wonders how no one had figured out what was really going on, Serene and Haku say that in the old days Gravytown was always a very advanced realm and that it was never too much to believe in the divine power of Dragons either, which is why they they were never touched by the blessing of the gods, they were not able to evolve spiritually, so they were never a very trustworthy realm but as they were the most advanced people their technologies were necessary for the development of the other realms, and when they became realize it was time for the duel.

When Perya arrives to challenge Shikki, he says that to win one of them has to give up or be thrown out of the arena, she says she agrees to the terms and that she will win, the fight will start but when she steps into the combat arena , she immediately falls to the ground as if she has suddenly become heavier, the king says he must have forgotten to inform him that the arena they were in was being surrounded by a gravitational field 3 times bigger than outside, so that she was having trouble moving, even using a lot of strength she couldn't do practically anything, the king then starts attacking Perya taking advantage of the fact that she can't fight back, she then activates her flaming gloves and manages to stabilize a bit to be able to fight back, but the power difference was still too big and she couldn't keep up, the king then continues to attack her and after a long time he throws her out of the arena causing her to lose, so the king says that now she will make her a great slave and then she starts laughing relentlessly, she says that without the gravitational field he would have no chance, and that he was a coward for using that kind of strategy, the king then says he understands the situation of her and says he will give her 10 says to recover and train, and then if she really wanted she could go back for a rematch, she says 10 says is more than enough, she says in 3 days she will come back to challenge him again, and next time she will be the victor, he agrees and declares that in 3 days it will be his rematch.

Perya and the others then leave the castle and head back to town to think of a new plan so they can defeat him.
