Chapter 450 - 450: Theo vs. Apollo (1/2)

”Shall we start then, Apollo?” Theo flew into the center of the tournament arena with wings made of wind.

”Yes.” Apollo took a deep breath, becoming calm in spirit.

Waru and the rest positioned themselves around the two and created a formation strong enough to protect the public from attacks.

Standing opposite of each other, Theo was still in his normal human form; only his ten tails could be said to be his most powerful weapon at that moment. Apollo, on the other hand, knew that he could not start without preparation. He materialized his noble spirit, which was something very similar to the sun with a smiling face, something very strange to say the least, and when he did, Apollo looked like a human torch radiating a warm aura, his body completely engulfed in flames.

Theo was not afraid of the flames and was not frightened to see Apollo this way. He waited with a simple smile on his face as he let Apollo prepare.

Apollo took a fiery sword in his right hand and put on a determined look that was full of fighting spirit. His eyes no longer looked like his usual playful eyes; it looked like he was possessed, and he started to murmur many strange things.

'What is he doing?' Theo wondered curiously.

”Get ready!” Apollo screamed in a high-pitched voice and flew towards Theo with giant wings of fire. It was as if he left a trail of flames that soon spread out into the wind.

Theo took a fighting stance, and instead of using fire, he used ice. When Theos icy aura manifested, the people, who were feeling warm, started to feel cold. It was a cold that felt like even hell would freeze over due to it...

Theo used no weapon. He wanted to test to what extent Apollo's power level was currently. If necessary, he could go a little more serious.

*Cut off the Sun!*

Apollo screamed and with a cut from top to bottom, he swung in Theo's direction. What was most surprising was that the sword, which had been 3 meters long before, now was more than 10 meters and completely on fire, looking like the flames of the sun itself. Before, if the spectators had been cold, they were now starting to get hot again. The heat of the sword was that intense.

”This is cool,” Theo commented and with a wave of his hand, he made something like a round dome around his body made of ice.

*Boooooooooooooooom!*

The earth vibrated.

The ice dome Theo created showed signs of cracking, but Apollo's sword also lost its strength initially and he was forced to pull back when he saw an ice spear leave the dome hurtling towards him.

Like shattered glass, the dome disintegrated shortly thereafter, and Theo appeared. The audience went crazy: screams, whistles, and thunderous applause echoed throughout the venue.

Apart from some small flakes of ice on his clothes, Theo was unharmed. Apollo also showed no signs of injury or fatigue. He was still in his strange state, as he mumbled and stared at Theo.

”If I attack from the left, he will defend himself, but if I were to jink, he would also be able to defend himself. I don't see an opening... What do I do?...” Apollo murmured.

”Huh?!” Apollo cried out in surprise when he saw that Theo disappeared so suddenly.

*Boooom!*

”Get ready, activate formation and protect the public,” shouted Atena.

What happened was that Theo appeared behind Apollo and with a heavy punch, he hit Apollo's rib, causing him to be thrown at the speed of light towards a mountain not far from the arena.

*Boooom!*

A very loud crash echoed, and shock waves reached the arena. If it were not for Aomi, Waru, and the rest protecting them, surely more than half would have died from the shock wave.

”My God! This is insane!”

”My mom asked why I'm kneeling on the floor; I told her that I'm seeing an epic battle between two titan warriors.”
