Chapter 63: Fourth Round III
Alan looked at the instructor calmly before walking off the platform.
"What an exciting battle," Klaus said.
"Yeah, this was absolutely a top-notch performance from both fighters" Reynolds added.
The instructor in charge of their platform looked at the two commentators and couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Klaus and Reynolds spoke all through the fight between Alan and Sheila, there were times they made him laugh with their commentary.
"Are you two done?"
Klaus and Reynolds shifted their gazes back to him.
"Oh sorry, we forgot our battle was still ongoing," Klaus said.
"Rey,"
"What?"
"Admit defeat"
"Why?"
"Well, because I need this victory,"
"Why don't you admit defeat instead?"
"You idiot, don't you want me to participate in the competition?"
"Hmm, you have a point there"
The two continued bickering some more.
The instructor felt like beating both of them up, 'Why was I the one sent here?' He almost couldn't hold back anymore.
Luckily, Reynolds admitted defeat before his anger exploded. The instructor knew Klaus and has always known him for being playful, so he just let it slide.
When they both got back to their seat, one more battle was still ongoing. So Grey was still there.
"Why did you two take so long?" Grey asked.
Because of the fight between Alan and Sheila, he didn't check on his friends. He knew they weren't going to fight anyway, so there was no need, the only thing that is puzzling him was why they took so long.
"You didn't see our fight? We had an epic battle" Klaus started exaggerating the nonexistent fight he had with Reynolds.
Reynolds just looked at him with a confused look, the only thing in his mind was, 'When did we have such an epic battle?'.
"....and after I dodged that attack, I was able to immediately send him flying off the stage." Klaus smiled after he finished his story.
"So in short, Reynolds admitted defeat after you were done watching the battle?"
"Yeah, that's pretty much the summary of the entire battle" Klaus nodded continuously as he replied.
Alice laughed when she saw this, Klaus came up with such a great battle that even she hoped to see something like that.
"You currently have two wins, adding my battle would make it three" Grey surmised.
"Yeah, I've already defeated that one guy who I don't know his name, Reynolds, and I don't think you'll be much of a challenge. So yeah, I already have three wins in the bag" Klaus shrugged.
Grey looked at him and declined to reply, it was best to let a man dream. If someone who didn't know them heard what Klaus said, they would think Klaus would be able to comfortably defeat both Reynolds and Grey.
It soon got to Grey's turn. When he stepped onto the platform, he was surprised by his opponent.
'Damian' Grey was slightly taken aback.
"Hello," Grey greeted with a smile.
Damian looked at him for some time before speaking.
"I know I'm not your opponent, but I really do want to fight you"
"Well, here we are" Grey spread his arms.
"Begin"
"Let's fight," Damian roared.
"Hope you don't disappoint me" Grey smiled before charging towards Damian.
Three pillar-like rocks shot towards Grey, he sidestepped to avoid it before sending out an attack which took the shape of a fist, only it was made of lightning.
On seeing the attack, Damian set up two protective walls in front of him in a bid to stop the attack.
"Boom"
The strike easily shattered the first wall before crashing into the second one. After holding out for some time, the second one crumbled as well, it was able to reduce the power of the attack significantly before it crumbled.
Damian was able to block the weakened attack but was pushed back a couple of steps.
'He's this strong?'
The strength of Grey's attack exceeded his expectations. He thought very highly of Grey, that was why when he saw the attack, instead of using just one wall, he made two. But it seems like it still isn't high enough.
He once again increased how highly he thought of Grey. Since he took notice of Grey, he decided he would go all out for this battle. Even if it means he would lose the next due to fatigue, as long as the battle was great, he didn't care.
They continued exchanging moves but Grey got the upper hand in the entire battle. He had been able to counter every move Damian used.
While the battle was still on, Grey sent out an attack that stunned the crowd.
"Fu*k, that attack is too overpowered" Klaus shouted out.
"I still haven't been able to master it yet, but he unexpectedly has" Alice opened her mouth in amazement.
This technique was the hardest technique he has mastered so far.
"Lightning Rain"
The entire arena was completely covered with bolts of lightning falling from the sky.
Damian had a tough time defending against it, he was able to block some, but they were just too many. He was hit multiple times, but even after this attack, he was still standing.
'His ability to take a beating is amazing' Grey clicked his tongue when he saw Damian was still on his feet.
The crowd was also surprised by it, most of the students felt the battle was already over with that attack from Grey.
"Arghh" Damian roared.
He stamped his foot strongly on the platform, and it shook strongly.
"Crack"
Cracks started appearing on the platform.
"Thump, Thump"
Grey felt like something was pounding the platform, the sound almost resembled the sound of a heartbeat. Not just him, everyone in the arena heard it.
"What is that?"
They all started asking the same question, what was making that sound.
"It's like a heartbeat," Klaus said.
"Where is it coming from?" Reynolds asked.
Klaus shook his head, he had no idea where the sound was coming from.
"I think it's from the platform Grey's on" Alice said.
The instructor looked at Damian with eyes filled with shock.
'It shouldn't be....' He tried to dispel the thoughts coming to his head.
The sound got louder and the crack on the platform started increasing, it was like something wanted to break free from underneath the earth.
The shaking in the platform increased, Grey subconsciously took a step back. He didn't expect something like this to happen, from what he saw, he knew this was definitely related to Damian.
All the battles in the other platforms ceased, and they all looked in the direction of Grey and Damian.
Everyone looked intently at the platform, they all waited patiently. The sound kept on growing louder and soon.
*BOOM*
The middle of the platform exploded out and dust immediately covered the place, small pieces of rocks flew everywhere and Grey easily destroyed the ones that came his way.
The entire arena went silent, they all looked at the platform with eyes filled with curiosity.
"RAWR....."
The roar shook the arena.
Those who were weaker and were closer to the platform felt intense fear.
"Oh my God!"
