Kapitel 34: Chapter 34: Sparring. (4)
"She's not using any weapon?" Lazarus asked as he looked at Elena's bare hands.
"No, she doesn't use any weapon, and so does Mykel. They both killed demons with their punches and kicks," Victor answered as he looked at Elena and was worried about the spar. "They both were undeniably strong and skilled fighters," Victor pointed out.
"Is that so? And she's stronger than Jeanne? It's hard to believe," Magnus asked.
"We honestly don't know much about how strong Elena is, but we have witnessed Mykel's strength. He was the one who killed a giant demon, and he killed it in less than ten seconds. He punched the demon as soon as he jumped off the helicopter and killed it," James answered.
They all looked at James and thought it wasn't possible since they all had to kill the demon that came out of the portals in a team. It took them more than ten minutes even though they had artifacts to help them kill the demons.
"He's telling the truth. We were there and saw it with our own two eyes. He walked out of the burning flame that was enough to melt steel, and his whole body was sizzling and melting. But he recovered in less than a day," Morris said since he could tell that none of them bought James' story.
"So she's telling the truth that Mykel is in a different league than us," Erik said as he looked at Jeanne. "I wonder if he's that strong from his sponsor," Erik continued.
"You're not the only one who wonders about that. All of us have been thinking about that since they're all so powerful," Travis said.
Elena looked at each one of them and she knew it wouldn't be an easy fight. No matter how strong she was, Dukes of Hell were different from any demon, and they could be on the same level as the demon princesses in the novel.
One thing that made Elena a bit at ease was that the Dukes of Hell were in human forms. They couldn't use their full power in human forms, and they were being watched by dozens of people in the room. They wouldn't want to blow their cover for just a sparring against her.
"Glad that I'm not treated like a woman here. So you guys can go all out and no need to hold back," Elena said as she stretched her arms.
"That's our plan in the first place!" Agares ran toward Elena and was followed by his team.
Elena wanted to test the power of Agares punch, so she blocked it rather than dodged it. The moment he punched her forearms, Elena could feel the sting and pushed her back quite far which almost made her fall off the arena.
She wasn't given a moment to breathe or recover as Agares and his team started throwing more punches and kicks at her. She could only dodge a few of their attacks and took the hit for the rest of them. She was bombarded with punches and kicks from all around her, but she kept her composure and waited for a moment to counterattack.
She focused on the woman on her right, and the moment the woman threw a punch at her, she immediately grabbed the woman's hand. She instantly broke the woman's elbow and bent the woman's arm to the other side. She then went closer and slammed the woman down as she broke the woman's shoulder.
Everyone looked at the woman's arm and shoulder painfully as they cringed. But the woman didn't even make any noise at all, and she immediately got up and fixed her shoulder and arm.
"You'll pay for that," the woman said.
"Try me," Elena smirked as she managed to escape from the corner.
Before Elena could take a breather, Agares suddenly appeared right behind her. She was surprised and immediately put her left arm to protect her ribs, and she barely blocked it. She then grabbed Agare's right wrist with her right hand before he could pull it back. She immediately spun around and used her left elbow to hit Agare's face.
Agares managed to put his left hand on his face before Elena's elbow hit his face. But it didn't stop the momentum at all and he got hit by his own knuckles and knocked him back. When she thought she got the opportunity to kick him, before she could swing her heel to Agare's face, the woman kicked her other leg and made her lose her balance.
"My turn now," The woman said as she grabbed Elena's left hand.
*Crack!*
Elena held her breath and she saw her fingers get dislocated, and then she was slammed to the ground so hard that it broke the arena. She saw the other woman was right above her in the air with her heel going down to crush her face. She rolled over and barely dodged it and the arena became a total mess.
Jeanne and the others wanted to help her, but they knew that Elena despised being interrupted. They also knew that Elena wanted to prove that she could handle everything on her own to Mykel.
Elena's hands trembled in pain, but she didn't let it stop her and started to fix her fingers. She then got cornered again and they didn't hold back their punches and kicks. She couldn't focus on the battle anymore because she started to reach her limit.
Their attacks and movements were too coordinated that it terrified everyone how good they were as a team. But on the other hand, they were also amazed that Elena could withstand all of them and didn't give up.
"My God, this is no longer a sparring, they're trying to kill her," Morris said with worried expressions. "We need to stop this before it gets worse!" Morris continued.
"No. Her friends don't even try to stop her, so they believe in her," James replied as he looked at Jeanne. "Don't do anything stupid, Victor. You're going to die if you enter the arena," James looked at the restless Victor.
Victor clenched his fists and his palms started to bleed because of how tight he clenched his fist. He wanted to go up there and help Elena, but he agreed with James' words that Elena didn't need any help.
Elena spat out blood and wiped the blood from her nose as she smirked in excitement. She had never been so overwhelmed by anyone else other than Mykel, and it pissed her off.
"You still can stand, I'm genuinely surprised," Agares said as he cracked his knuckles. "But for how long?" Agares smiled and dashed toward Elena.
They fought for more than half an hour, and Elena was still standing tall even though she was covered in her own blood. Bruises covered her face and body so that she could no longer protect herself with her weak arms and legs.
Agares started to breathe heavily and he started to feel stings on his fists and feet. He wasn't the only one, his team also felt the same thing, and they couldn't bring Elena down.
"You guys failed to bring her down?" Mykel asked as he stood in front of the door.
Everyone turned around and looked at Mykel holding a cigar in his hand. Elena was happy that Mykel was there to see her and how he mocked them.
"That means you failed to defeat her, and she's more than qualified to enter the portal, don't you think, Agares?" Mykel asked again as he walked toward the arena.
"Fair enough," Agares said as he lowered his hands. "We the Redshield Guild acknowledge the Rebirth Guild to qualify to enter the portal," Agares pointed out as he looked at everyone.
Everyone was clapping their hands, but this time they were doing it out of respect for Elena.
"I'm proud of you," Mykel said as he carefully fixed Elena's hair. "You can rest now and lay down on the bench," Mykel gently rubbed Elena's cheeks.
Elena smiled happily and then slowly walked down, and then Jeanne and Aurea helped her walk to the bench.
"Where do you think you're going?" Mykel asked.
Jeanne, Aurea, and Elena turned around because they thought that Mykel was asking them. But then they realized that Mykel was asking that question to Agera and his team who were about to leave the arena.
"There's still someone that hasn't joined the spar, and he should be tested as well, right? So why don't all of you stay in the arena and test if he's qualified or not?" Mykel asked as he slowly removed his suit and tie. "Don't you all agree?" Mykel asked the audience as he rolled his sleeves.
"In my entire life, I haven't, not even once seen him remove his suit and tie, and rolled his sleeves to fight," Jeanne said as she looked at Mykel.
"He's so pissed because the only person in this world he cares about got beaten up like this," Aurea replied. "They're so dead," Aurea chuckled mischievously.
