45 Chapter 45: White Lightning (1/2)
White Tiger roared ferociously before bounding toward the rampaging Theodore Hammond. The berserker swung his Thunder Hammer, undeterred by the fearsome sight of the gigantic Celestial Guardian charging at him, meeting him squarely in the center of the arena.
Wreathed in lightning, White Tiger swung his electrified claws, which collided against Theodore's Thunder Hammer in an explosion of electricity. Sparks flew throughout the arena, stray bolts of lightning violently pounding the ground and leaving scorched marks. I was forced to stay back, even with White Tiger's protective enchantment shimmering over me.
The Celestial Guardian swung his claws again with another bellow, only for Theodore to parry them with his Thunder Hammer. More sparks rained down, scattering like pyrotechnics. Theodore then counterattacked with a fierce swing, attempting to club White Tiger in the skull, but the divine beast leaped back to avoid the attack.
Bristling, White Tiger unleashed a storm of lightning that nearly blasted Theodore off his feet, but the berserker merely blocked the bolts with his Thunder Hammer.
”Amazing,” I muttered as I watched the two fought in awe. ”Theodore Hammond is actually holding his own against White Tiger.”
With a growl, Theodore swung his Thunder Hammer to release his own web of destructive lightning, the arcing bolts scorching the ground and incinerating whatever they touched. White Tiger merely stood his ground, digging his claws deep into the concrete, as he watched the enormous web of lightning lash out at him.
For a moment, everyone thought that White Tiger had given up.
Then White Tiger absorbed the lightning. The silvery bolts that Theodore had discharged flowed and blended into the aura of white lightning that surrounded White Tiger, and he seemed to swell, becoming more powerful. Being his summoner and linked to him telepathically, I understood what he was trying to do.
White Tiger was supercharging himself by feeding off Theodore's lightning.
As soon as Theodore halted his spell, White Tiger instantly lunged at him with a roar, swiping at him with his supercharged Lightning Claws. Theodore stood his ground firmly again, swinging his Thunder Hammer to deflect the strike, but this time he was engulfed by an enormous explosion the moment the two deadly weapons met!
Boom!
White Tiger's attack had smashed a crater into the ground and nearly incinerated Theodore from the sheer force. Even with his protection against lightning, Theodore was scorched from the sheer heat and overwhelming power. He staggered, his eyes still glowing silver from his berserk mode, but gripped his Thunder Hammer tightly.

The berserker really couldn't feel any pain!
Bellowing defiantly, the president of the Thunder Hammer Society leaped forward, attempting to brain White Tiger. He would never stop, not until he destroyed all of his enemies.
However, White Tiger wasn't a pushover either.
Gracefully loping to the side with an agility that belied his immense size, White Tiger evaded the first strike, and then smacked Theodore with his Lightning Claws, knocking him off his feet. Theodore stumbled, but twisted around and adjusted his aim. Snarling, he hammered away at White Tiger, but the latter ripped the Thunder Hammer out of his hands with another ferocious swipe. While Theodore was still trying to regain his balance, the Celestial Guardian moved forward and pinned him down with his other claws.
Bam!
”Kuh!”
Theodore grunted as he was slammed into the ground. He struggled valiantly, but was unable to break out of White Tiger's grip. Lightning crackled around him as he cast a spell to blast White Tiger off with brute force, but the Celestial Guardian merely absorbed the silver electric energies to supercharge himself once again.
With a triumphant roar, White Tiger unleashed another bolt of supercharged white lightning onto his victim, crushing him and blowing a colossal crater into the arena.
”Ugh!”
Buffeted by the tremendous shockwaves, I stumbled back, almost swept off my feet.
For a moment, I was blinded, unable to see anything. My ears were filled with the screeching howl of the explosion, my skin tingling numbly from the intense voltage of the electricity that saturated the air. Huffing, I fought to remain standing, and peered through my glasses to see what was happening.
I could see nothing until the white lightning faded away. White Tiger threw his head back and roared victoriously. Even though all I could see was smoke fuming from the charred crater, through my telepathic link with White Tiger, I could see through his senses Theodore's blackened body.
He was definitely not going to get up from that.
Teacher Fielding evidently thought the same, for his holographic image drifted forward and down, as if to study Theodore's fallen figure for a few more seconds. After deliberating (and after Theodore didn't stir), he raised his hand.
”The match is over! The winner is Richard Huang of Ultimate Outcast Society!”
I slumped to my knees, exhausted, my ears ringing with White Tiger's triumphant bellows and the excited cheers of my juniors and society members.
”Anyone wants to challenge him next?” Dong Fang Yue Chu asked jokingly as he turned toward the silent Thunder Hammer Society.
No one rose to the bait.
