BXBX NOVEL 164 Chapter 164
A pillar of blue flames rose up to the sky and hit the ceiling. Then, it started scattering all over the ceiling creating a blue light that covered the whole arena.
Acht watched this scene with a surprised expression. He never thought Weltz's element would be something like blue flames.
However, that was not something he should think about now as a more pressing matter is in front of him.
Weltz stood up and punched the huge rock on top of him, breaking it into small pieces with one single hit before glaring at Acht with his bloodshot eyes that looked akin to that of a mad beast.
He then yelled at the top of his lungs and dashed toward Acht swiftly. His steps were so quick that no one could follow them as they only appeared like a messy blur.
"I will kill you!!" He shouted as he infused his blue flames into his own spear and slashed horizontally.
Acht couldn't waste any time and jumped in the air. However, Weltz followed up his attack by kicking with his leg. Acht couldn't avoid it so he also kicked with his leg.
Lenny and the others watched this with a stupefied look. They weren't looking at Weltz since they knew his powers very well but they were impressed by Acht's ability to keep with him even though he was clearly inferior in terms of raw power.
"His usage of the gravity element is beyond amazing," Lenny said as he rubbed his beard making the others look at him with an even shocked look.
It was the first time they heard him praise someone straightforwardly like that.
Jack asked his boss in disbelief.
"What is he doing? I can't sense it well because of the chaotic energy around him and Weltz."
Lenny shook his head before he started explaining.
"The boy knows he is inferior in terms of strength so he uses gravity manipulation to weaken every attack from Weltz. It's not that apparent since he barely uses any energy to do that."
"How?" Lein barged into the conversation with another question.
"It's easy… Instead of absorbing the attack, he just changes the direction of the effect of the hit away from him. However, even that is easier said than done. It needs a very good understanding of one's element to reach such mastery."
Hearing these words Torn chuckled coldly as he muttered.
"This kid is one hell of a monster. I can't imagine how he will become after a few years. Don't turn him into our enemy, boss."
Lenny didn't answer those words and merely looked at the fight with a complicated expression.
Back in the arena, Weltz retracted his leg after the hit and used the spear that was covered in flames to hit the ground.
A weird thing happened the next second that changed Acht's idea about Weltz's power totally.
The moment the flame spread on the ground, it froze. It was as if the flames had turned to ice when they touched it.
Acht was shocked at this revelation but still didn't wait to see what would happen as the flames were closing up on him.
As he jumped back, the icey flames started creating spikes the size of his body. Each spike was closer and closer to him, making him barely evade it.
'These flames are weird. Do they work like ice?' He thought to himself as he ran around the place evading every spike that appeared under him.
"Fucker!!! Stop moving around like a slippery fish!"
As he moved, he was also generating a plan in his head. Then, after making sure he was far enough, he sliced off one of the spikes and made it fly toward Weltz like an arrow.
He didn't stop at that as he kept running and slicing off spikes before sending them flying, creating a sea of arrows around Weltz.
The outraged man clicked his tongue as he jumped in the air to avoid all of those arrows.
"Nice," Acht muttered and pulled out his bow before aiming at the man and shooting.
Weltz saw that and tried to locate the arrow he shot. However, nothing appeared in his line of sight.
Then….
"Ughhhh!!" A strong pain hit his stomach as he looked down hurriedly.
There, an arrow made out of energy was planted into his abdomen and created a deep injury that oozes blood.
So, with clenched teeth, he pulled out the arrow and howled like a wolf from the suffering.
"You fuckers!!!"
"The 40 seconds had already been over. What a fucking sore loser. Just admit defeat, you piece of shit." Acht said coldly.
"Shut the fuck up!!!"
He shouted as the flames started burning even harder.
The fight then continued with increasing intensity.
The two kept appearing and disappearing like ghosts, clashing with weapons and using all kinds of close and long-distance attacks.
It reached a point where both of them forgot about the outside world and fully focused on the fight.
Deep inside, both of them were enjoying the fight a lot.
Each one of them went all out. This gave them a sense of freedom and relief for some reason.
Especially Acht, he felt as if with each passing second, his combat abilities were improving a lot and getting even more honed.
He even did things that he never thought would have been possible before.
As for Weltz, he was beyond outraged and didn't even care about the bet or the time or anything else. His sole goal at this point was to kill Acht no matter what.
However, as he was about to use his blue flames again, Lenny stood up and said.
"That's it. The fight is over."
Just those few words were more than enough to freeze Weltz in his place and make him look at the boss with shock.
"Boss!!"
"Let it go, Weltz. You have lost."
