Chapter 39 Is That All You Got?

Nora immediately dashed forward while trying to use the wind element. Nora had been training with Jason and Karna for the past few years after having unlocked his elements.

Nora had been able to use his fire element fairly well but he had barely been able to use his wind element. That was why he had asked Karna to help him in using the wind element.

'Think of your as a part of the wind. There is air around you so you mix with it and flow like wind. Now send this feeling towards your legs and you will be able to increase your speed.'

Karna's words echoed inside Nora's mind as he imagined himself to be one with the wind. He suddenly felt a tingling sensation pass through his legs as his speed increased threefold.

He shot forward with the help of his wind element and focused on his fire element simultaneously.

'He is too impatient and quick.' Jason and Zara thought at the same time as they realized what Nora was planning to do.

There was a chance that he would be able to catch Felix off guard but if he didn't, he might be exposing himself to great danger.

"Fireball!" Nora shouted as he opened his mouth and shot a red flame ball out of his mouth.

The fireball was the size of three overgrown watermelons combined as it flew directly towards Felix. Due to the momentum it had gained because of Nora's speed, the fireball zoomed through the air and managed to hit Felix directly in the chest.

"Is that all you got?" Contrary to everyone's expectations, Felix didn't look the least bit bothered.

His entire body was wrapped in flames yet neither his body nor his clothes were burning. He instead stretched and gave Nora a smile..

'Could he have…' Kerwin turned his gaze towards the entrance of the house where his seven guards stood and one of them had his eyes half shut.

It was enough for him to understand what was happening and why his son was perfectly fine despite being hit by a fireball at a point blank range.

'Wait till we get home, Felix. I am going to beat the crap out of you.' Kerwin formed a fist but couldn't do anything in the middle of the match.

He knew that if he said anything, his reputation would also take a steep hit and he didn't want that. So for the time being, he decided to remain silent and watch the fight the way it was going.

"Now let me show you what a real fireball is," Felix grinned as Nora suddenly broke out of his daze. "Fireball!"

He sucked in a lot of air before opening his mouth and releasing it in a hug blast of fire. The fireball was the size of a two-story house as it came towards Nora at full speed.

Nora was frozen on his place when he saw the size of the fireball. It outshone his fireball in every possible way and made him realize how far behind he was.

"And though all those thoughts are fine, you need to move your ass!" Jason suddenly shouted as his younger brother broke out of his daze and looked back.

Nora realized that what Jason was saying was the truth. He then took a deep breath before running towards his big brother at full speed.

"Pass." He tapped his brother on the shoulder before going to stand in the corner.

'I took the pass but I have no idea what I am supposed to do against that…' Jason thought as he faced the incoming fire ball.

The fireball looked enormous and dangerous at the first glance but it was moving a bit slowly. Furthermore, Jason didn't panic and thought calmly.

'Well, I haven't perfected this skill but it doesn't hurt to try.' Jason thought as the system chuckled in the background.

[ Like you have any other choice. Don't worry, I will make sure that you don't die and your grandparents are here anyways so your chances of dying are zero. from the beginning. ] It reminded.

'Here goes nothing then. Also, I knew that.' Jason then closed his eyes in focus as he felt the heat of the fireball approaching closer, albeit a bit slowly.

"He is so afraid that he can't move or even open his eyes." Kerwin snorted as he saw Jason standing in one place without moving one bit.

However he soon remembered that the fireball was created by cheating so he lost the excitement of making fun of Jason.

"Either you are dumb and hide it or you are just plainly dumb." Issac replied back as he looked at Jason with a smile. "Its clear that he is planning on doing something."

Despite saying that, Issac had his guard up and was ready to swoop in and save Jason in case anything went wrong.

'Why do I feel a weird energy coming from that fireball?' Issac couldn't help but wonder whether there was something wrong with the fireball. However he couldn't focus on it for the time being.

Jason on the other hand was smiling as he knew that he had managed to pull all the attention on him. It was the perfect moment to use his skill.

"Lightning steps." He muttered under his breath at the last second and immediately vanished from his place.

Everyone, including Kerwin, were left surprised when they saw Jason vanishing right before the fireball could have hit him.

[ Looks like it worked. ] The system sounded impressed as Jason smiled and appeared behind Felix.

'Indeed.'

'Good thing I created this skill.' Jason thought while pushing the flashback away for the time being, After all, he was currently in the middle of a fight and didn't have the time to think multiple things.

Jason summoned some of his mana towards his right foot and covered it in raw purple lightning. With a devious grin, he shot directly towards Felix's spine and felt his leg connect with the demi-human's spine.

"AHHH MOMMY!"

Felix suddenly fell on the ground as Jason stood on top of his body with a triumphant expression. He walked off the prince's back and looked at Kerwin with the same devious grin before turning to look at Aila.

"I am not responsible for this." He said with a wink before walking to stand beside Nora.

"WHAT DID YOU JUST DO?!" Kerwin suddenly thundered as he broke out of his daze and ran towards his son.

He gently pressed his back to see that Felix's spine had almost been smashed in half. Any sudden movement and his son would most likely die.

His gaze traveled to where Jason was standing but he couldn't say anything. He was sure that his son's attack would have done a similar thing to Nora if not worse.,

Though he knew that his sister or Nora's grandparents would have saved him. But in Felix's case, Jason had suddenly attacked him while Kerwin had been in a daze.

Now it was too late for his son unless he got him healed.

"You got a healer on you or do you need my help?" Risa suddenly asked as she could tell that Felix's condition was quite gentle.

"I have a healer but he can't do anything currently," He then paused and broke the restraints he had on himself. "Please save my son."

That was all that Risa needed to hear as she bent down on the ground and placed her hand beside Felix's body.

She then started drawing symbols on the ground and asked Kerwin to continue the fight.

"Now, you have to stop before you actually damage the opponent. In case you can't stop yourself, one of the adults will stop the fight for you." Kerwin added as he looked at his daughter.

She had a calm and neutral expression on her face but it was pretty clear to him that Aila was going to look for revenge.

He also knew that Jason still hadn't used all of his powers and what he had shown was just a trailer.

'The next fight is going to be much more dangerous…' Kerwin thought with a sigh as he knew that he couldn't back down.

Jason on the other hand wondered whether he could have repelled the fireball first and then hit Felix in the fireball's direction.

'Damn, I missed such a good chance to burn him with his own fire.'

[ Why did you even want to attack him like that? ]

'Mhm, I don't lie characters like him.' Jason replied with a straight face as the system choked on air on its imaginary body

[ You think this is a novel? ] It said astonishingly.

'Well, I don't like him. Jason shrugged.'

[ Not like you know that many people here anyways. ] The system pointed out.

'He was about to burn Nora alive and I didn't like his father's behavior. Those were the reasons for what I did.' Jason argued.

[ So basically, you wanted to smash their pride? ] The system sounded somewhere between impressed and full of horror.

'Yes.'

After hearing Jason's reply, the system was somewhat satisfied. It then went on passive mode and decided to observe the rest of the fight carefully.

Jason turned his gaze towards Aila who looked fired up for taking revenge. Kerwin also saw this as he wondered what kind of fight they were going to see now.

He prayed that his daughter kept her calm and things remained under control. Kerwin then started the fight.

"Begin!"
