"Boom!"
"ssshhh!"
"Boom!"
"ssshhh!"
"Boom!"
"ssshhh!"
The audience watched in disbelief as the spectacle unfolded before them.... Something Unusual.
While combat and one-sided beatings were commonplace... What they witnessed now was entirely unprecedented..... Truly Unusual.
"arrhh!"
/Heal/
"arrhh!"
/Heal/
"arrhh!"
/Heal/
"arrhh!"
/Heal/
A remarkable display that left the onlookers awestruck.... With each forceful punch, Eli seamlessly incorporated a healing spell.
Despite the relentless assault on Kayden's face, not a single wound or bruise marred his seemingly untouched visage..... A pure white shining skin.
Kayden's countenance remained as fresh as before, concealing the concealed pain that lurked beneath the surface. The agony he experienced was far more intense than anyone could fathom.
'FUCK!!' Kayden screamed inwardly as the intense pain reverberated through his jaw, yet the lack of visible injuries added a surreal dimension to his suffering.
He tried to block the attack yet.... Asher Eli was Fucking Fast!!
In a futile attempt to defend himself, Kayden grappled with the lightning-fast assaults from Asher Eli.... Even though to Kayden's eyes he was slow.
The rapid movements and precision of Eli's fists which were covered with blue particles... left Kayden disoriented, struggling to mount any effective counter.
"Arrhh"
/Heal/
"F-Fu--arrhh"
/Heal/
Eli's expression remained stoic, devoid of any emotion as he relentlessly delivered punch after punch.
Kayden's haughtiness, pride, and anger.... all vanished.
Gazing at Eli's emotionless face, the fear inside Kayden began to resurface. Today was supposed to be his debut day, as promised by Carter--
"AAARRRRHHHHH!"
"Don't wander in your mind. Look at me" Eli's indifferent voice cut through his chaotic mind.
With hazy eyes, Kayden shifted his gaze to Eli, believing the relentless assault had finally concluded. But...
/Heal/
"aarrhh!"
Eli resumed the face-punching, each strike a disorienting mix of precision and force as well as healing.
Desperation clawed at Kayden's throat, the desire to shout or cry stifled by Eli's unwavering focus punch on his face.
He was already a handsome man, and in a bitter twist of irony, Eli seemed to be enhancing his looks even more, thought Kayden sarcastically.
After what seemed like an eternity,
"arrh-aamm-oorrr..."
Kayden crumpled to the ground, groaning in pain.
Eli observed the fallen hero.
A healing spell should not only mend wounds but also alleviate pain. However, Eli, with meticulous control, had only healed Kayden's skin.
The people of Theos began to admire Kayden more and more as if they were the ones displaying remarkable resilience.
"Come on! Hero. You can defeat him!"
"We trust you!!"
"You can do this!!"
"Kill that Bastard!!"
"Show the Fallen People we are not to be trifled with!!"
Eli smirked....
Stepping away from Kayden, Eli commanded,
"Arise!!"
The very earth beneath the arena responded to Eli's command, quivering with otherworldly energy. As the ground shifted and contorted, a majestic throne ascended...
"Hmm... Not bad... me," Eli mumbled to himself, his grin reflecting his satisfaction. He marvelled at his handiwork, recognizing the increasing extent of his control over the elements.
""W-What?"" Carter and the Head Master wore expressions of shock.
Even Lilitha and Adriana, who were well-acquainted with Eli's prowess, couldn't help but be surprised by the grandeur of the unfolding scene.
Most high-rank nobles had their mouths wide open.
No... It wasn't just about sitting on a throne; it was about commanding the very essence of the arena itself.
'He can control the Nex!!!' Aadya screamed inwardly with wide eyes.
The implications of Eli's control over Nex Academia, a material yet to be fully understood by even the most knowledgeable, sent shockwaves through those who comprehended the rarity and complexity of such an achievement.
One should understand that, in order to control the elements, one must comprehend the properties and composition of the elements. Eli's command over Nex was not just a feat of power but a testament to his profound understanding of the Nex's intricate nature.
For example, Earth Element users must understand the properties and composition of Earth materials to gain the insight needed to control the Earth more fluently. However, there were rare and powerful materials in the world yet to be studied in terms of properties and composition. Even if someone studied them, controlling them was nearly impossible (90%).
Among these rare materials was Nex Academia, built with a unique core called the 'Heart'... commonly known as 'Nex's Heart'.
A core placed inside a single block of stone... a single core capable of providing a huge amount of mana to stabilize the massive stone suspended in the air.
And even more, governing every duel...and protecting the land.
That humongous stone was later sculptured into 'The Nex Academia'.
Nex's Heart was truly a miracle. So, understanding the piece of stone/Nex Academia was also a miracle. (A/N: Example in comment)
Aadya, the Master of Mana Breathwork, was among those who couldn't grasp the material properties, despite her expertise.
No matter how much she tried, she was never able to grasp the material properties, as it always felt similar to normal stone and yet she couldn't control it.... She at last gave up and yet....
Aadya stared at the ground, a mix of admiration and frustration in her eyes. Eli's control over Nex was beyond normal, transcending the boundaries of what was thought possible.
Some well-known nobles and hardcore mercenaries blankly stared at Eli with shining 'C' eyes (Credits: Money).
They had already dismissed the idea of the Dimensional Eater; it wasn't even worth considering compared to what Eli had just done.
If they sold the Nex material outside of Nex Academia, then...
"Hehehe...." Some giggled while drooling with lust for money.
Not knowing the consequences of his actions, Eli simply sat on the throne, absorbing the admiration and awe from the onlookers.
Truthfully, when he trained with the properties of materials, he easily controlled a part of the Nex land without any difficulty.... So it wasn't big for him.
'What? I am not allowed to sit on the throne?' Eli hissed when he saw their weird face.
If he only knows the truth.... A part of the land would have already gone missing.
Sitting on the throne, Eli looked at the wriggling Hero, so different from his previous haughty look.
"Hero!" Eli called him, sending a chill down everyone's spine.
Kayden, struggling in pain, looked at Eli with hatred. Unlike Alexander, the Hero of Dawn Kingdom, Kayden didn't possess any self-healing spells, even though he had Holy energy. It wasn't as potent as Alexander's.
Kayden's body was just inferior to Alexander's Holy Body, and he always wondered why there was a difference between them. Your story continues with m-vl-em|p-yr
'Ting'
Eli placed a glass bottle containing golden liquid on the ground,
"You know what it is, Right?"
Kayden stared at the bottle...
"Elixir... a High-Level Healing potion" Eli elucidated, a smirk playing on his lips as he observed Kayden's eager eyes.
Eli then theatrically placed his foot on top of the bottle,
"Now...
B.E.G
Hero of Theos Kingdom"
