Chapter 239: Battle Conclusion

Outside the stage, Jemer was having complicated feelings.

'Should I let them? There nothing seemed to be happening...' he was bit his thumb in pondering.

'But what is supposed to happen anyway? Last time, there was not a single report that something happened due to Avion Teller. However, this was not just a joke since the higher-ups did punish the manager of the lower stage since he didn't chain him up.'

'So what then? Is this a special punishment for Avion Teller? It doesn't seem harsh and with Elementalists everywhere, I don't think this mortal can escape! I don't understand!'

While he was pondering and frowning, Avion felt free to fight. Although the chain does seem to have no effect, for complicated moves that include balancing, flexibility, and coordination, it greatly restricts a martial artist, unlike Elementalist who just cast and cast elesps.

Chains were all over the ground from how much they moved earlier.

The Demolisher formed a stance unlike before and stayed still as if waiting for Avion.

Seeing this, Avion didn't hesitate to rush. He was going with offense!

"Huh?"

Not only the Demolisher reacted this way but also the audience. With the whole stadium in silence, Avion's advance should at least sound even a little. However, it uncannily strange that they heard not a single footstep.

On the other hand, the Demolisher didn't have time to think about these things. For all he knows, Avion became extremely fast.

'Where...?' a sweat dripped from his forehead when his opponent just disappeared without a sound.

'I was just looking at him earlier!' the Demolisher frantically looked around.

However, in the audience's view, Avion was just being "sneaky" as if he knew where his opponent would turn his head, Avion would rush to the blind spot.

'How did he disappear from this open stage!?' the Demolisher was now doubting if his opponent really a mortal.

Meanwhile, Avion crept closer and closer behind him in total silence...

Swoosh* the Demolisher finally picked up a sound and when he turned around, it was already too late as Avion's foot have already smacked on his face.

Nerves popped out of the Demolisher's face. With a great frown, "Argh!" he endured and caught Avion's leg.

However, Avion didn't panic and stayed still as if gravity has been shifted. With the Demolisher's grip on his leg, he was able to have a footing to use his other leg to connect countless attacks.

Thudthudthudthudthud*

'This guy! How is he able to become this fast!?' the Demolisher smiled out of irritation and didn't let Avion go as he tried to use all his strength to swing him into the air.

Avion didn't have any counter to this momentum and was thrown into the air.

The Demolisher followed him and jumped with a loud bang that slightly shook the stage.

In the audience's eyes, Avion has no escape. But to show that kind of power, he is definitely worthy of respect and would place somewhere in the Top 20.

'Looks like I have nothing to worry about...' Jemer finally sighed relief while he was staring at how Avion was thrown at the air.

At that point, the Demolisher had a great advantage. While Avion had no footing and cannot evade, the Demolisher had already positioned himself in that jump and have stronger momentum.

Furthermore, midway, the Demolisher kept spinning, gaining more and more force.

'I'm afraid Avion Teller would need all the healers we got if he survived this.' Jemer coldly thought.

Avion saw the Demolisher spinning towards him.

'A true spinjutsu!?'

Before the Demolisher reached him. Avion simply kicked the air with a crisp Pak!* changing his trajectory.

While the Demolisher is spinning fast, Avion only revolved once to evade the attack while positioning his foot to where the Demolisher's face would be.

Pak!* Crack*

As if time slowed down and came back, after that second crisp sound, Avion gently landed on the ground while the Demolisher bounced back while his head has a very creepy angle to it.

A few meters back, he landed on the ground, unresponsive. But with his usual toughness, he was still breathing. Just that his face was flattened, reddish, and even had some smoke from it.

It was a miracle that he even survive from his momentum, not only forcefully stopped, but was repelled back!

"..." the more experienced ones and the Elementalists who caught what happened, including Jemer, didn't know how to react.

Meanwhile, it took a pause before the crowds processed what happened. Instead of a cheer, they were dumbstruck as questions filled the stadium.

"Heavens! What happened!?""I only saw the Demolisher spun before he was thrown like a paper!""What is that sound? Maybe that visitor is an Elementalist!""No, he is not. If he used an elesp, it would be too obvious. And just from the fact that he doesn't have any aura gives it away that he's a mortal."

"The victor is Avion Teller!" after being dumbstruck, the host announced the obvious result and the healers immediately moved out.

Although the Demolisher is the loser, he is too great of an asset. He is stronger than what his Rank entails due to the fact that he does not challenge the higher rankers even though he can.

'What happened?' Jemer had a deep frown as Avion walked down on the stage while carrying the chains, trying to attach them again around his waist.

"Can I get healed too?" Avion asked him while he continued to ponder.

"O-of course... you can go to where the Healers brought the Demolisher in." Jemer then saw how Avion was trying to attach the chain but didn't know how to.

'Did he forgot that the Demolisher broke the head of the chain?' Jemer raised an eyebrow and with his Earth Element, helped Avion fixed his own lock.

"Oh, thanks..."

Jemer looked at how Avion smiled and narrowed his eyes, 'He's too pretty for a boy... If I'm a cute teenage Elementalist girl instead of a middle-aged man, I would've fallen for him..."

'...'

'...'

'Ah-!' at that moment, he came up with a shocking revelation!

"..." he then pointed, "...Now go."

'Is he the gift?'
