Other than those who were aware of Jay, not a single one in the spectators believed he would survive after taking a direct hit from such a terrifying attack.
They believed Pompa would have bitten the dust, but to their disbelief, he was alive with his back facing the ground at a considerable distance from the Stage.
Pompa recollected what had happened in that split moment and couldn't help but take in a heavy gulp of air.
He was well aware he would have died for certain if it wasn't for Jay giving him a shove, which sent him out of the major impact range of the attack.
Although he didn't escape from the damage from being closer, it wasn't critical since his Health soon recovered to its brim thanks to his 2nd Innate Exclusive Skill, <REJUVENATE>.
Pompa didn't understand why Jay saved him, but he was grateful for saving him.
Although Pompa knew surviving such a deadly attack was next to impossible, he still stared deep into the settling dust and hoped for Jay to survive.
Soon, the dust dispersed away, and within the area where Stage was supposed to be, a wide crater was present, and in its center stood an individual with a bloodied left arm and bare upper body.
The ruptured Full Body Armour was repairing itself at a noticeable pace and covered Jay's ripped muscles with every passing second.
If not for the defence the Centauri Kavach and the Pseudo-Speed force provided, the injuries inflicted would have been much more critical.
Seeing that either the Sword Aura was of no effect against the humanoid monster, Jay didn't brandish the sword anymore and placed it back in his Storage Ring, lest he damages it further and suffers a backlash from breaking the bond with the weapon.
Jay didn't engage further and distanced himself from the Humanoid Monster, and the other party didn't pursue him and simply watched as Jay retreated.
Just like the humanoid monster's long and sharp claws, black spikes protruded on the back of its head, shoulders, and forearms. A smaller version of those sharp spikes extended down its spine till the end of its long tail.
With teeth resembling that of a shark and a single horn above both its nose and forehead, it looked like an abomination among monsters. Its sinister appearance alone would give anyone chills down their spine.
{Author Note: For a better view of this monster, I would suggest you guys open the paragraph comment before continuing from where you left it off.}
The ardour in its eyes was not hidden in the least as it continued to stare at Jay before uttering in a loud and rasping voice that pierced through the unrest caused by the sudden intrusion, "We meet again, Silver Alpha Chosen!!"
The moment the humanoid monster laid its eyes on the Stage, it recognised Jay even when he wasn't using Origin Energy.
To the humanoid monster, the primary target to deal with on the Tournament Island was none other than Jay, and as long he was dealt with, it believed taking care of the Tournament Manager, and the rest of the Alpha Chosen with the massive army it brought along would be just a matter of time.
Unlike the humanoid monster, Jay didn't recognise the other party and was still in contemplation.
Jay tried reading its mind but failed to do so every time. He had never encountered a similar situation before since he hadn't encountered anyone with Spirit Attribute higher than him, but that changed with the presence of the humanoid monster.
However, MJ didn't share the same confusion as Jay in regards to identifying the abomination of a monster and began to transmit everything known in the System records of a Plasma Predator.
