Chapter 288: Chapter 288 – Alex VS Alvin

‘Alex is going to have some big trouble in this fight.’ I look at both of them from my place and think deeply.

Strategically thinking, even Alex knew he wouldn’t be able to defeat Alvin. His armor’s just way too OP for someone like Alex.

But does that mean Alex will accept defeat? Hell no.

In fact, he will double down on the fight and try to bring in a W.

So while knowing that Alex is going to lose, I still am glued to this fight. Even if other fights had something missing this one won’t.

“Anything you guys wanna say before the big thing?” Falbic asked, shoving a paper microphone to their faces.

“I’m not going to lose against you.” Alex said.

Alvin almost boorishly looked at Alex, “But that still won’t change the outcome you know… you will lose, just that you will find it hard to believe.”

Alex smirked, “Quite confident, aren’t you? That’s probably because of all the fancy stuff you got, otherwise we both know the result could be something else.”

“Yes, I admit my winning chances are greatly heightened because of my equipment.” Alvin confirmed without hesitation, “But even if I were to fight you with just my sigmat ring, I will win.”

‘Alright, both are fired up.’ Falbic smiled as he saw Alex’s heated expression and Alvin’s casual one, but he had a twinkle in his eyes.

“Well then! Let’s start this match, shall we?” Falbic asked the crowd.

“YES!”

“Alright, there’s your signal fighters, show us if you got it to make to the top.” Falbic said and left from the arena.

As Alex got ready to dash towards Alvin, Alvin also used his ring to cause a wide spread air burst that immediately propelled Alex back.

“FOOSH!”

Alex quickly got his balance and held on to the ground until the air flow went away. But he regretted seeing how far Alvin was from him now.

‘Shit! He immediately changed the dynamics of the fight instantly without even using his weapons.’

‘Am I this weak?… NO, I won’t let it end like this.’

Alex ran once more and as Alvin used another air burst, Alex used his own ring.

“BOOM!”

Fire and air fought against each other and surprisingly wiped each other out. Alvin felt a bit surprised at that and Alex took that momentum to get close to him.

But Alvin got off his reverie quickly and conjured multiple invisible air knives and threw it at him.

“Scratch!”

“Hm!” Alex looked at his left shoulder where there was a blade scratch. He looked ahead and even with his fine eyes, the invisible blades were too thin to be seen.

But an idea immediately came to his mind as Alex conjured a ball of fire. The ball became as large as a handball and it rotated showing a dark yellow fire.

Alex ran again and just as the invisible air knives were about to hit him, he popped the ball by slamming it. Immediately the fire burst open and expended largely.

It went through Alex but did not hurt him, but as the air knives came into contact with them, they all vaporized away. The ball of fire destroyed all the blades and vanished itself.

“Hm…” Alvin looked at that and raised his hand as multiple large scale swords like Cutlass, Falchion, Longsword, Dao, Jiang and a few others generated above him.

Alex looked shocked at the multitude of swords that Alvin created. They must have cost a chunk of mana but Alvin created them so fast and he didn’t even seem tired.

The crowd visibly became enamored seeing so many swords. They wondered how Alex was going to defend now, was he going to use the same fire technique again. Which Alex wanted to, but he guessed these weapons were much tougher than the blades. Some of them might penetrate through the fire.

So Alex did the same.

“Flegh!”

The atmosphere warmed around the arena as Alex created his own set of swords as well. Like Alvin, Alex too had a lot of mana inside him and he poured a lot of it inside the swords, making them heavier than usual.

“Go”

“Attack!”

Both issued the same command, in different ways as all the swords started attacking each other.

“Boom!”

“Flash!”

“Boom!”

“Flush!”

They didn’t swordfight in the air and instead all weapons dived into their enemies, causing small scale explosions.

“Whoa! Now that is what I called fireworks!” Falbic said as he saw the arena’s space fill up with many small explosions. It was dangerous to get close to it but was increasingly amazing to look at too.

But as the explosions went on, Alex didn’t stand by and continue the mana fight. He both controlled his fire attacks at the air ones while making a burst towards Alvin.

The soles of Alex’s wooden shoes exploded and he took a dive straight towards Alvin.

The speed was fast, so fast that it even muffled Alvin render less for a second. But he immediately went into action when Alex was just a few inches away from him.

“Boom!”

Alvin quickly burst a small scale, powerful air burst at their center. Both of them instantly felt the impact and Alex’s fire burst let him fight against the wind for a moment.

Ultimately, the powerful air burst won and blew Alex down to the ground.

“BANG!”

He fell a few meters away, breaking the solid ground.

“Haggh!” Alex groaned for a moment before standing up and looking brazenly at Alvin. He looked around and saw no visible or invisible attacks coming for him.

“You’re strong.” Alvin said, “Strong enough for me to use the Thunder Lord’s Spear against you.”

As Alvin said, he grabbed the white base of the spear. The spear had a royal white color to it with a yellow stripe going erratically until middle point. The spears middle point and tip was made of steel and unlike other spears, both middle and the tip were quite sharp and strong.

Made to both impale and slash if needed.

“Crechk!”

“Crack!”

Alvin’s grab brought life to the spear as it sparked erratically.

“If you survive this attack, I’ll take it that you’re a real fighter.” Alvin said and pointed the spear towards Alex.

Alex’s eyes widened as he saw the spear cracking with thunderous lightning and brightening even more. The attack would surely hurt more than anything else Alex felt.

But he didn’t move.

Alex let go of his sword and bend to the ground as he looked down. The crowd immediately guessed that Alex was about to do his Special Mirage Wave again.

As they thought, the atmosphere around the arena got hot and I delved further into both of their form, looking into all the weakness and power points.

Alvin got ready and waited until Alex looked up and shot his attack.

“Mirage Wave!”

Alvin didn’t shy back and shot his attack as well as lightning shot towards Alex.

“Thunder Lord’s Tempest!”

Both attack met and strangely none stopped the other and immediately attacked their opponents.

“Arghh!” Alex felt the thunder and his body pulsed with uncountable pain as he flew back and hit the wall. Alex’s attack hit Alvin too and overwhelmed him with the fire wave.

After a while, Alex slowly opened his eyes from the stuck corners of the wall. He’s eyes looked shakily at the figure of Alvin who stood where he was.

Removing his Anti-Manic helmet showed an unharmed Alex, standing tall. He looked like a young knight with a shining white spear that called on true power.

“Our winner of the Semi-Final Match, it’s Alvin Gorder.”
