79 Herald Vs Heracles!! (1/2)

...

Later on, 3 other combats took place.

Aciya vs Joshou

Beazly vs Ayla!

And the last one was...

Herald Vs Heracles!

The first two fights were a very odd matchup that really did not serve Joshou and Beazly well.

They both lost, but Joshou put a very respectful effort against the Mistress!

Beazly couldn't take it seriously against the softest woman there is, it was really funny seeing them both trying to fight.

Ayla simply used her sensual manipulation in order to put Beazly in the ground.

As for the last fight, it was one for the ages...

Herald knew his luck would make him face Heracles, so he was prepared for it.

Alkeyder. ”Just make it as tough as possible on him. I won't kid you and say you can win.

But this is a good chance to put what you've learnt these past two months into application, especially ur relation with Ether, and your Qarin.

But...Who knows?

Maybe your Qarin will turn out stronger than even Heracles...”

Herald does not reply, and slowly walks into the center of the Arena, where Heracles is already there waiting for him.”

Alkeyder's team has in fact thrashed Heracles, 4 wins and one tie.

This put him in a very bad mood really, he's willing to go all in and atleast take a win and make it less embarassing.

His face shows no emotion but focus and intimidation.

Herald looks at him for a second and knows this will be even tougher than the times they were training before...

Sahaqiel counts to three, and starts the fight!

Herald jumps way back, to keep enough distance between him and Heracles, in order to have time to counter attack and think before doing something.

He summons Ether next to him!

Herald, communicating with the Jinnie through his mind.

”Ether! I think you already know we have a tough task here, We'll have to fuse our souls on a very high rate.”

”Don't worry!” He replies.

Ether tries to go inside of Herald's body, but...He was rejected!!!

Herald looks shocked.

”...What's happening?”

Ether. ”...I've been kicked out by your Qarin.

He would not allow me to fuse with your soul!”

Herald. ”What....Why haven't Alkeyder told me this can happen??”

Ether. ”Watch out!!”

Heracles attacked with his flames from afar. Ether gets in the way and protects his companion.

Jinnies are creatures made of fire, it does not hurt them. Moreover they can manipulate it if they were trained professionally!

But Heracles flames were of very high power, he could barely deflect them.

Heracles moved quickly towards Herald who was left open, with a troubled mind. Ether cannot get fast enough to take the hit.

Alkeyder looks thoughtfully...And Aciya worriedly!

Boom!!! The sound of Heracle's punch was so loud, as the flames exploded off of his fists.

This can knock even the toughest opponents unconscious..

But...

Herald blocked it with his arms!!!

”Thank God he didn't leave me for dead...”

His Qarin was there for him this time, Heracles holds Herald from his arms and throws him high in the air! Then jumps towards him and furociously attacks with many punches.

Herald barely is able to whitstand it, So Ether helped him escape and get back on ground.

Sebastin. ”Did Herald...fly there for a second?”

Oumad. ”I am not sure.. Maybe it was only because of Heracles throwing him up there..”

Ether says to his partner.

”..I guess he's doing you a bigger favor than what i would've done.”

Herald. ”No I doubt, but I am glad he did something at least.

Now I have an additional power source, let's combine everything. But we need a plan..”

Ether. ”I have one...”

Heracles stands in his place for a moment, then starts lighting himself up in flames!

Until he became all lit up.

Herald remembers the one time he saw him doing this technic. It was when he fought against Mammon!

This is his most powerful normal power-up.
