“That was amazing!” As the entire stadium reeled in the shock of having another of the Blue Team members lose a round, Peter the Commentator exclaimed in praise.
“Indeed Peter. Such pulsating action, and a very close match too,” Maggie was just as excited as Peter was. Although the Blue Team, a representative of Asher City had lost, the match was an exciting one. It was a close fought match which had every member of the audience on the edge of their seat, with no one confident about who was going to come out on top. Yes, Orange Monk was better based on the numbers, but this was a match in which Musclehead had shown just how strong he was. Although Musclehead lost in the end, he proved that he was strong enough to not be overlooked by any enemy.
“I lost,” Musclehead scratched his cheek embarrassingly and extended his hand to Orange Monk for a handshake. “But I had fun,” he added.
“Me too,” Orange Monk smirked and took Musclehead’s hand. Even he had to admit th
*Boom*Orange Monk sprang into action right after the match commenced. He didn’t look anything like a man injured, and his simple smile had long been wiped away. In its place was a large grin filled with bloodlust and an intent to battle. His eyes were hazy like those of one intoxicated with wine and his movements unpredictable. Like a ferocious whirlwind, he arrived before the Blue King with speed that far surpassed the speed he displayed when he fought against Musclehead and thrust powerfully with his sword.Unlike Orange Monk, Blue King’s large sword was still in its place. Like a baby nestling in its mother’s bosom, the large sword was cradled in the equally large sheath that held it on Blue King’s back. He didn’t pull out the blade or explode with power like Orange Monk, but his eyes were filled with a bit of surprise witnessing the ferociousness behind Orange Monk’s strike.‘He held back’Blue King not
“Amazing Maggie. What a battle!”“Indeed Peter. It was amazing to the very end. Orange Monk fought valiantly, and it is a pity that we probably wouldn’t see him again in the Grand Tourney”Mane nodded at the words of the commentator. Orange Monk looked fine now, but his injuries were grave. Mane could tell from the wound depth that Blue King had shown mercy in the end and hadn’t fully pierced the chest of Orange Monk with his blade. It was more like only the tip went in. Plus because of Steel Fist’s intervention, Orange Monk’s wound wasn’t deep. However, the man lost a lot of blood from the wound. Plus the injuries he incurred using that strange technique were probably going to be more problematic to deal with. And that wasn’t even the end. Mane didn’t ignore the limp arm which was probably due to a shoulder injury. In other words, Orange Monk was going to be out for a long time.“I wonder i
Ivor waited patiently for about ten minutes, all the while reclined in his seat with a broad smile on his face. However, once the ten minutes were up, he left the comfort of his large chair and approached the big table. Like he did before, he opened up a portal on the table by condensing Space Laws on his finger. With his finger as the pen and the table as the slate, he gradually created a pitch black portal. Immediately the portal was opened, a hand emerged from within with a letter in its grasp. Ivor retrieved the letter, and once he did the hand disappeared into the portal. The large man pinched his index and middle fingers together, and the portal was closed.“As I suspected. Given the gravity of the situation there was no way she wouldn’t have given me a reply.” Ivor shook his head with a smile and proceeded to open up the letter and read its contents. However, as he read the contents of the letter, his smile slowly receded, and a thoughtful expression
The crowd felt like a bomb had gone off in their heads. Who were Tigers? They were Predators at the very top of the food chain. Due to the disappearance of Nightmares from the world for so many years everyone regarded Tigers as the peak that could only be admired from afar. Every Tiger of every city was well respected and received great treatment. They were like kings that could get anything they wanted as long as they whistled or clapped for it. These powerful beings rarely made public appearances, but one had revealed himself today.“How is that possible?” Peter was very surprised. In fact, the word was like an understatement this time around. How could Vital Orange be a Tiger?“I know it is hard to believe, but that is the truth. Those kind of movements; the confidence to attempt something like that and achieve it with absolute certainty. That is the mark of a Tiger. Vital Orange is no longer a Tiger Cub. He’s a fully grown Tiger now.”
“That was unbelievable,” Lam sighed with a euphoric expression as he put aside the Record Stone.“It was,” Mane sounded far more composed. The contents of the Record Stone didn’t move him like they did Lam.“I guess it was passable,” Hildegarde commented from atop Mane’s shoulder. Her expression showed that she wasn’t being proud by making such a comment, but really felt that way.“This was much more exciting than the matches of the Round of 16 Stage. This time things were much more competitive.” Lam stated with a slightly refreshed expression. Mane didn’t doubt his words at all, since it was made clear to him that Lam had been following the competition all this while.The duo had just finished watching all the matches of the Quarter Final Stage. In the end, in addition to the Orange Team, the Red Team, Indigo Team (the reigning Champions), and the Black Team were the teams that made
“So you agreed?”“I did”Back at Dan’s home, Mane was engaged in conversation with Dan. It was pretty late, and the sun had just gone down. Mane had trained all day since Dan wasn’t around. He was waiting for him so he could tell him what had happened today, and he was finally able to once Dan arrived a few minutes ago. The highlight of the conversation was his decision. For he had agreed to Ivor’s proposal.“Do you think it’s a good idea?” Dan asked worriedly.“No,” Mane replied honestly. “I do not trust the guy,” Mane added with a hint of wariness. Of course there was no way he thought going with Ivor was a good idea since he didn’t know anything about the man and had only just met him. Added to the fact that Ivor was stronger than him and could easily deal with him, Mane was very wary of him.“So why do you want to go?” Dan asked curiously. He d
As the sun slowly rose to take its position of dominance in the sky, creatures and people slowly awakened from their slumber. Although the darkness of night hadn’t fully faded, a new day had already began. Few people were awake at this time, but the creatures of the forests were already up and about. Amongst the few humans that had awakened, there were 6 of them standing on the outskirts of the village. Three of these humans were teenagers – two boys and a girl.The boys were charming, blessed with features that would turn the heads of any who saw them. Both of the boys were tall, but one was taller than the other. The shorter one had beautiful curly black hair and a well sculpted face. His eyes were gentle yet filled with strength, and his build was relatively good. The taller one was also a beautiful boy. His long blonde hair fell to his shoulders and his well-trimmed beard made him look a tad bit more mature. Although the sky was still a bit dark since the sun
The sound of hooves hitting the ground was particularly welcome in this barren land as four large horses traveled the distance. Of the four horses, only 2 were carrying people, with the remaining two having no such task. Each of the horses carrying people carried two. Two men of contrasting builds and looks occupied one horse, and a young man and woman occupied the other.“This is amazing,” Lily whispered to herself as she held on to Mane’s clothes. Due to the impressive speed of the Red Maned Horse, she had to clutch on to Mane’s attire to prevent herself from falling off. Bu it wasn’t like she was complaining. Apart from the fact that riding the horse was much more fun than she could have ever anticipated, she was riding with someone she had a good impression of, so it was a win-win situation for her.“It really is,” Mane replied, stunning Lily who didn’t think that he would be able to hear her. The speed the horse was
