章 32: Roaring Beast
"This will be our last offer. If you reject it. There will be consequences!"
"We will break you as we did Fury Fist, Moon Wrath, Tornado Twist, Green Bull and the rest!" The last person said.
"Fantastic. I would like to see you try." Noah said with an exaggerated smile that scared them as a little bit of his killing intent leaked out.
He then ambled back and left.
"Great Noah!" Dark Servant said with awe. Noah smiled as he dragged him as they walked soaked in White Milk. Yes, they now do everything together. But Dark Servant maintains his servitude and gave Noah his due respect.
"I think today's fight will be dangerous. Yesterday, I heard that Gaggard bribed someone not to fight you and that person agreed. But the substitute was also someone that Gaggard didn't think you could win against!"
"Who was the one bribed?" Noah asked.
"Moon Wrath but I don't know the substitute but I heard he was titled Icon and Undefeated!" Dark Servant said.
Noah nodded. "Moon Wrath is a true monster but he was in Group A. Am I allowed to face him? And… those with Undefeated titles are few but most of them are trash!"
"Only you can say that. By the way, Elya wants me to pass you a message. He said that he reflected on and understood his shortcomings. He is willing to rectify."
"When you meet him said that I commented. Opportunities came once in a lifetime. If a person wants to catch another one, they have to fight for it!"
Elya was miserable, he had fallen very low and now people mocked him as he can't be half as good as his twin. But some curse Noah for neglecting him too. But they were silent about it because they feared the Punishment Slap.
*****
Noah came to the arena, Dark Servant behind him carrying a soft towel, water gourd, a bandage and an oil bottle, in his hand. All these were things a servant must carry to the arena in case their master needed them.
"The Leader informed me to OFFICIALLY announce that the UNDEFEATED title will temporarily be associated with Tender Slap if he won this fight. And with that, he will get access to Level 5 White Milk and Sacred Worm every week as long as he was associated with the title!"
Wahhhhhhh
"Tender Win all!"
Wahhhhhh
The shouting was deafening.
"Tender Slap vs…. Roaring Beast"
Silent descent as now people can't choose between the two. Noah was still somehow lacking but the Roaring Beast was loved due to his dominating nature.
Unlike Noah, he had lost some fights in Group C but he dominated his enemies with pure brutal strength and if that didn't work he used techniques that showed his mastery and strategy.
He fought Moon Wrath to a tie who was in Group A. He also faced Tornado Twist another high-ranking Group A, and he lasted a very long time before he was defeated. If there was one person that was the most promising and everyone acknowledged was the dark skin kid, known as Roaring Beast.
"Roaring Beast"
"Tender Slap"
"Roaring Beast"
"Tender Slap"
"Roaring Beast"
"Tender Slap"
"Roaring Beast"
"Tender Slap"
The audience split in two, some were in support of Noah and the rest were Roaring Beast.
"It was not official yet, but Roaring Beast is Group A because he has a tie with Group A, Rank 4, Moon Wrath and he fought almost on equal terms with Group A, Rank 3, Tornado Twist. So, he too has been unofficially titled UNDEFEATED in Group B''
The two fighters stood 5m away from each other as they watched each other. Noah bowed with his right hand on the chest.
The Roaring Beast just nodded but no one could read what was going on in his mind.
Roaring Beast was tall with compact muscles, bigger than Fury Fist but leaner than Water Rise. But what attracted Noah's attention was two things, his stance which made him look like he was a well-planted tree on the ground and his glimmering skin that looked like polished wood that reflected light.
'Steel Muscles. They are hard to deal with. They came with great stamina and surprisingly flexibility that gave them shock absorption property?' Noah concluded.
Noah too was bare-chested but he was a complete contrast. He did have some muscles but they were so tender to mean anything.
"Are you ready?" Referee asked.
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Fight!"
Expecting an exploding movement but the duo kept observing themselves. Noah smiled and dashed forward. He never saw Roaring Beast fights but he heard a story. The boy was all rounded and taunts his enemy into his trap
Noah didn't care. He had enjoyed Level 2 White Milk and made a lot of breakthroughs in his Shifting Steel Comprehension and so also Floating Feather Buoyancy. So, he really wants to see what Level 5 could do to him.
If he scales his buoyancy he will put it 6 levels above when he first comprehended it while they were falling from the 10km twin hills.
'He can predict movement when he saw them but with enough speed and technique, he can be countered. That was in theory. Speed or Strength or Technique: which one should I go for now? Hmm. I have to defend against his Slaps, I will test my strength with slight speed!' Roaring Beast thought before Noah reached him.
Pa
Pa
Paa
Paaa
That was Roaring Beast punching the air as Noah was barely dodging and then he slide and when Roaring Beast hit the ground, it cracked
Bammm
"Roar. Great strength!"
Ahha.
It was a fight that the audience was dying to witness and the duo Tender Slap and Roaring Beast unconsciously delivered them but what was not shocking was that Noah Slap's attack was doused with no sound when they connected with Roaring Beasts' skin.
And also, Noah's face was in shock as he tried hard to prevent Roaring Beast's fist from landing on his face.
Bang!
Noah was sent out of the ring like a ball! But Roaring Beast frowned as he checked his fist.
"Balloon Technique!" He muttered in wonder before Noah comes back, 'He will be hard to pin down and break. Good, he is worthy!' Roaring Beast smirk.
Level 6 Buoyancy made Noah's body act like a balloon when hit. Though, Noah did jump back too, to make the effect feel like It was pushing!
