134 The New Vengeance Chamber (2/2)
The bet against Thug'Dromog was for Rahz to use the skills of the Vengeance style but that didn't mean he couldn't take a page from the book of the Half Giant and make the giant axe into the giant fist.
Rahz also knew the weakness of the Havoc Chamber which was their high reliance on momentum. The plan became to stick to the opponent like white on rice and trade blows using the higher destructive power of his Chaos Burst.
The match started and Rahz took off like a bullet train and took the initiative to attack with everything he had, his right punch was encased in energy and as more and more energy was fed, the punch grew until it was 10 times larger.
It all happened really fast and when Rahz's opponent disappeared from his spot, the distance between him and Rahz had already being reduced by half.
The sudden onrush really threw Rahz's opponent for a loop and the lack of s.p.a.ce to maneuver decreased the Blade Dance's momentum and unlike his first fight with the Abyssal Chamber pract.i.tioner many people manage to catch his movements.
Rahz grinned from ear to ear seeing his strategy work as intended and only activated Strengthen Defense and met steel with his bare fist. Rahz's opponent flip backwards to gain some distance but the moment he landed on the floor, a fist the size of a truck's grill came straight at him without giving him any respite.
Cling!!!
The Fist barely grace the Havoc Dreadnought's weapons and it still manage to take him off balance even after he used one of his life saving hidden cards called Blur. The skill instantly teleport him a short distance leaving shadow blurs during the displacement.
Rahz was surprised for a second but he rushed out once more pressing the attack on his opponent, he knew it was his chance to finish the fight and so he sent a frontal kick that was encased in Chaos Energy and kept expanding up to 5 feet before it landed square in the Havoc representative's chest. The blue chaos fire burned the skin of the Demon but unfortunately the damage was minimal as the demon's resistance to their own source of power was pretty high.
Rahz thought about using the thunder attribute instead but that would have broken the rules of the bet.
CRACK!!
The sound of bones still resounded in the arena before the Demon flew outside the ring and fell to the ground.
WINNER!!! RAHZ FROM THE VENGEANCE CHAMBER!
CHEEEERS!!!
Rahz...Rahz … Rahz
The effect of the victory was everything that Rahz hoped for and more, he tried to be as flashy as he could so he could get people interested in what he had to offer. The recruitment event was the beginning of his plan to create a force outside the influence of the G.o.ds and he understood the importance of being the spokesperson of a brand.
The spectators were stoked to have been able to witness such an awesome display of ability and many fathers that were reluctant before now scolded their children into switching their choice to Vengeance. The vibes in the recruitment grounds were amazing except for the Headmasters that had lost their choice at the best 12 recruits of the session but when Rahz told them that he was going to be taking in only 5 year olds under his wing, everyone's jaws dropped.
He wouldn't stop anybody from choosing the chamber but he didn't want to fight over any good seedlings, the Elysian Cultivation required a completely different way of energy control to the ways of the G.o.ds and as the old saying went, you can't teach an old dog new tricks. It was just easier to teach children from scratch the Elysian way to manipulate energy instead of changing the way a person had done it their whole life since it was basically ingrained into their very bones.
The news about the requirements of the chamber came as a surprise to a lot of people but when everything was said and done Rahz still manage to get 15 good recruits.
