Alan's eyes blazed with ferocity as he charged towards Elamenor, his movements a blur of calculated fury. "You're going down, kid!" he snarled, his voice dripping with malice.
Elamenor stood firm, his expression a mask of calm, his eyes fixed on Alan with an unnerving intensity. Gale, a few steps behind his apprentice, began to channel his energy, his eyes locked on Elamenor with a mix of trepidation and resolve.
Alan's fist came crashing down with bone-crushing force, aimed directly at Elamenor's skull. The air seemed to shudder from the sheer power of the strike, but Elamenor sidestepped it with an unnatural speed, leaving Alan's fist to slam into the ground with a deafening crash. The impact sent shockwaves through the arena, causing the onlookers to stumble backward.
Before Alan could recover, Elamenor seized his arm, twisting it with a force that sent Alan's shoulder joint cracking out of its socket. Alan's scream of agony echoed through the arena as he was flung backward, his body crashing into the ground with a sickening thud. Blood spurted from his mouth as he struggled to rise, his vision blurring from the pain.
Gale unleashed a wave of energy, a torrent of flames that tore through the air, heading straight for Elamenor. The onlookers gasped in horror as the flames engulfed Elamenor, but he deflected them with a casual flick of his wrist, sending the inferno careening harmlessly into the sky.
The ground beneath him cracked and smoldered, but Elamenor remained standing, his eyes blazing with an unholy intensity.
"Is that the best you've got?" Elamenor sneered, his voice dripping with contempt. "I was hoping for something more... substantial."
The disciples of the Primordial Sect watched in awe, their faces pale with fear. "Did you see that?" one of them whispered, his voice trembling. "He just deflected Gale's attack like it was nothing!"
Another disciple shook his head, his eyes wide with terror. "And he's not even a cultivator yet. How is that possible?"
Alan struggled to his feet, his body a mass of bruises and contusions. Blood streamed down his face from a gash on his forehead, but his spirit remained unbroken. He glared at Elamenor with a fierce determination, his eyes blazing with a hunger for revenge.
Gale, realizing the futility of their situation, knew they had to give it everything they had. He glanced at Alan, his eyes locked on his apprentice with a desperate intensity. "We attack together," he growled, his voice thick with resolve. "We give it everything we've got."
Alan, seeing his master fall, let out a roar of defiance and charged at Elamenor with renewed fury. But Elamenor was ready. He sidestepped Alan's attack and delivered a crushing blow to his chest, sending him flying across the arena. Alan's body crashed into the ground, his vision blurring from the pain.
As the fight finally came to an end, the disciples of the Primordial Sect erupted into cheers, echoing through the arena. They had just witnessed a battle unlike any they had ever seen, and the victor was clear.
Elamenor, however, remained unfazed by their cheers. He looked down at Alan and Gale, who were both lying on the ground, their bodies broken and battered. "You fought well," he said, his tone surprisingly gentle. "But this fight is over."
The arena fell silent as the disciples watched him, their admiration for him growing with each passing moment. Elamenor's eyes seemed to bore into the souls of the onlookers, his gaze piercing and unnerving.
As the silence stretched on, the disciples began to murmur among themselves, their voices hushed and awed. "He's a monster," one of them whispered. "A monster in mortal form."
Another disciple nodded in agreement. "He's not an ordinary Elf. He can't be. No Elf could do what he just did."
The whispers spread like wildfire, echoing through the arena as the disciples struggled to comprehend what they had just witnessed.
Elamenor turned to leave, his movements fluid and graceful. The disciples parted to let him pass, their eyes fixed on him with a mixture of fear and admiration.
Alan and Gale, still lying on the ground, watched him go, their eyes filled with a newfound respect for their opponent. They knew they had faced a monster, a fighter unlike any they had ever seen.
As the arena emptied, the silence was broken only by the sound of heavy breathing and the soft groans of pain. The fight was over, but the impact of Elamenor's victory would be felt for a long time to come.
In the shadows, a figure watched Elamenor depart, a figure who had been observing the fight with great interest. The figure's eyes narrowed, a calculating glint in their eye.
