Chapter 114: I Lost (2/2)
”That's Kevin's signature art! He destroyed it with a punch!”, Evelyn shouted in surprise.
She knows that Rex is a powerful Awakened, but to see one of Kevin's strongest spells got nullified with his barehand was still come as a shock for her.
Rex got flung to the arena's wall because of the momentum in mid-air, he stepped the arena's wall creating a crack on it before his eyes flashes.
Seeing this, ”WHAT?!”, Kevin shouted in shock.
His attack didn't manage to heavily injured Rex, even his fist only got slightly burned.
Thanks to the fire resistance Rex got, he manages to tank Kevin's attack with no threatening injury that can faze him.
For him, this slight burn is nothing.
Rex's eyes glint as his arm muscle contracted, he gripped the sword tightly before he threw it towards Kevin.
SWOOSH!!
The sword slice through the wind like butter, it is lightning fast because of Rex's black lightning and the sword amplification that propels it faster.
Kevin jumped to his left, he didn't want to confront it head-on.
'Throwing his weapon? What kind of dumb move is that', Kevin thought but suddenly, ”Lightning Salvo!”
BLITZ!
Kevin widened his eyes, there's a lighting strike blitzing towards him.
He jumped up to avoid it, he manages to dodge it with just a hair's length.
Kevin smiles mockingly when suddenly, a fist appeared right in front of his eyes.
Rex uses his sword to make Kevin dodge before he uses Lightning Salvo, in the moment where Kevin's focus was on the Lightning Salvo Rex already dashes towards him.
Kevin didn't have any chance to dodge, ”Force Beam!”
BAM!!!
Rex's fists destroyed a translucent barrier around Kevin's body before his fist hit Kevin right on his face.
Kevin's face makes a cracking sound before he crashed to the arena's wall like a jet.
BOOM!
Kevin crashed to the arena's wall before he bounces off of it, ”Akhh!”, blood gushed out of his mouth because of the impact.
His nose is bleeding, it looks like his nose is broken because of Rex's punch. He leans on the ground with both hands, Rex's punch hurt him a lot.
Seeing this, the Faraday University jury stands up in shock.
'No, It can't be! How did it become like this!', he thought desperately, Kevin almost never got hit and it is for good reason.
From his stats alone, Rex knows that Kevin can't take many punches.
Unlike him who has a regenerative ability, Kevin is only a human and his low Endurance can mean instant loss if he got hit.
Rumble...
The arena's wall crumbles because of the impact, Rex takes his sword coldly.
Kevin raises his gaze to meet Rex's cold eyes, he then stands up with difficulty with heavy breaths.
”I'M NOT DONE YET!!”
BOOM!!
The fire around the arena's ground got attracted as it swirls around Kevin's body, it creates some kind of vortex around him.
Seeing this, Rex nodded his head, 'Kevin is strong, he will be something in the future', Rex thought.
Although Kevin provoked him, he didn't do anything disgraceful to him.
Rex knows this because of the small exchange at the beginning of the fight, Kevin is angry because Rex cheated on the tournament.
This means that Kevin didn't know about the cheating.
Rex concludes that Kevin did everything he did to him just to make him go all out, he's just competitive.
The fire swirl around Kevin's body creating a big fireball on top of him, it becomes bigger for each passing second.
Kevin's fire wings cover the fireball, it is controlling the fire mana around it.
The fiery terrain makes the fireball becomes even stronger, it splashes fire to the surroundings aggressively.
Rex smiles as he looks at Kevin who's fighting with his all.
The stubborn look on his face even makes Rex chuckle, 'System, how much time is left stored in the Lunar Blessing Storage'
<lunar blessing=”” storage:=”” 0=”” minute=”” 5=”” seconds=””></lunar>
Seeing this, Rex nodded his head, 'That's more than enough, let's finish this'
BOOM!
Rex gathers all of the force he can gather, he activates his black lightning as it cracked the ground beneath him.
The fiery ground around Rex got canceled by Rex's black lightning.
The crowd stands up from their seats, they can feel that this last clash between both of them will be the final clash that will determine the winner.
Ring of Tenacity is covered in silence, only both Kevin and Rex's powering up in the arena, Kevin aims the fireball towards Rex.
”Fire Demon Art! Demonic Blast!”
BOOM!!
The fireball exploded sending a dark fire blast towards Rex.
It disintegrates the arena's ground upon touching the blast, it is the most powerful art Kevin has right now and he puts all of his mana in it.
'If he survives this, then I'll have to admit that he's stronger than me', He thought.
But then suddenly,
Just after he thought about that, a sword suddenly sliced through the fire blast.
it cleanly split the fire blast into two before it stopped just after touching Kevin's neck, blood dripped from his neck.
WHOOSH!!
The wind flutters Kevin's hair as the sword stopped,
He doesn't even know what happened before suddenly Rex already arrives in front of him with his sword pointing at him.
Kevin widened his eyes, ”I...I Lost...”, he mumbles.
The arena is dead silent even after Kevin announce his loss, it felt surreal for the crowd to hear the words coming out of Kevin's mouth.
Hearing this, Rex retracts the sword before he leans it on his shoulder.
”HE WON!!”, Muji shouted as he punches the air in delight.
Cinta on Muji's side puts her hands on her mouth as she gasps in surprise, the thing that is impossible is currently happening in front of her eyes.
Roar!!!
After Muji's shout, the crowd burst in excitement.
They all shout and cheer for Rex as they stand up from their seats, every people on the first floor start throwing roses to the arena.
”REX SILVERSTAR!”
”REX SILVERSTAR!”
The crowd shouted Rex's name in a union,
Kevin fell down to his knee as Rex waves his sword creating sparks of black lightning around him, he then raises his sword as a sign of victory.
The crowd got even crazier as they keep chanting his name,
Because of his win against Kevin, he finally fulfilled the promise he had for Rosie and her parents.
From now on, it will become even crazier, 'Now that this is done, next up, the Platchi...'
