Dragon Slayer Royale

"We, as Dragon Slayers, feel the need to prove who is the strongest among us. The idea behind this entire battle royale is to simply decide who is the alpha among us all, the true king that shall led us all to providence and guide us to new heights. Now, let's see who it is among us."

- A Dragon Slayer giving his opinion on the Dragon Slayer Royale.

Dragon Slayer Royale (ドラゴン・スレイヤー・ロワイヤル, Doragon Sureiyā Rowaiyaru), also refereed to as the Gathering of Furious Dragons (猛竜の集合, Mōryū no Shūgō) and Great Battle of Dragon Warriors (竜兵の大戦, Tatsubei no Tahō), is a special yearly event that takes place throughout the entire world of Earth Land to determine who is the strongest Dragon Slayer in all of Earth Land.

Overview
As stated, the Dragon Slayer Royale is an event that takes place throughout the entire world of Earth Land. Although mostly Dragon Slayers from Ishgar take interest in participating. One mage is invited by an strange courier to participate on the tournament, then he will have to raise through the ranks and reach the finals. Should he win, he may fight the previous King.

History
In the past, this event was used to test which Dragon taught their Slayer the best and the slayer that was able to come out on top was granted the title of Dragon Slayer King (滅龍神, Metsuryūjin). While in the past, the title granted the mage virtual superiority to all other Dragon Slayer, in actual times it is just used for fame and representation.

Rules

 * Each user may only have one Dragon Slayer taking place in this event yearly.
 * The max amount of characters that will be allowed to participate is 8.
 * The battlefield that each Dragon Slayer fights in must be somewhere in which neither user can draw on their element with ease.
 * A prime example of this would be a Solar Dragon Slayer cannot be fighting out in a sunny field as it would allow him to draw on the sunlight to replenish their strength.
 * If a user does not update on their battle for a set amount of time, then they automatically forfeit the match and the person they were fighting gets to move on the next round.

Kings
Throughout history there have been a multitude of people that have earned the honor of being crowned the Dragon Slayer King (滅龍神, Metsuryūjin), showing that they are considered the strongest within their generation, representing the entire Dragon Slayer community as a whole. The age of the Dragon Slayer King has shown to vary across the centuries due to the fact many have acquired the title over the course of time.

While the Dragon Slayer King is often known under the single title, they are also given a specific epithet that is meant to represent their element or even their unique trait as Kings.
 * Acno2.pngAcnologia (アクノロギア Akunorogia) is an extremely powerful Dragon Slayer that possesses the ability to transform into a Dragon. Known as the Black Dragon (黒龍, Kokuryū) and the Dragon King (竜の王 Ryū no Ō) due to being rumored as the strongest Dragon. It is speculated that during his time as a simple human, Acnologia was one of the first Dragon Slayers that acquired the title of Dragon Slayer King and was known under the specific epithet of the Black King  (黒の王 Kuro no Ō). It is currently unknown what his element is and he gained the title before he was able to transform into a dragon at will.
