*Title Hidden*

Standing before me is a tall and massive man with a heavily muscular figure, distinguished by his bald head, a pair of oval-shaped black marks just above his black eyes, and by his seeming lack of eyebrows. His clothes mirrored those that were commonly seen worn by ancient civilizations such as Mayans or Egyptians, although his thick boots resembled Inuit garb, his chest was bare, being only covered by a series of dark belts crossing it diagonally, and around his neck he donned a short mantle, covered in horizontal blue and white stripes and sporting edges decorated by numerous short, yellow strings hanging from it. On his arms were tight-fitting green armbands almost reaching up to his shoulders, seemingly made from the skin of a reptile. Around his waist there was a long loincloth, held up by a simple belt and sporting a motif composed of several arcs, with a single spot in each of their concave part and simple decorations reminiscent of Fleur-de-lis above them. The loincloth was fur-lined, something which matched the design of his boots, almost completely composed of fur. Standing before me is one of the Ten Wizard Saints and ace of Lamia Scale.

Jura Neekis.

"May I know who you are and why you have brought me here?" Jura said after the initial shock of teleporting to an unknown area while looking at me with a serious expression.

"Ah, forgive me for bringing you here so suddenly and that too without any warning Jura-san. My name is Ray Cross and I mean you no harm, well in a way I guess. But for a while now, I have been going around challenging strong people to improve myself and I chose you as my opponent for this time. So, will you grant me the chance of having a spar with you Jura-san?" I replied in a calm tone while looking at Jura who was starting to give of a powerful aura when I mentioned about fighting strong people.

"I can accept you wanting to fight strong opponents, Ray-kun, as I am the same. But can you tell me why you took me here without coming into the guild and challenging me in front of everyone? I'm sure they would have loved to see a good fight as I know from the magic power and pressure you released earlier that you are very strong for your age?" He gave a slight smile followed by confusion at his doubts.

"Well, I don't want to appear before the world at the moment. That is all that I can say at the moment. So shall we begin, Jura-san?" I replied with a smile of my own before getting into my stance.

"Very well. Let us have a good fight." Saying that he spread his legs a bit wider and got into his stance.

One thing that was surprising to me is that his aura is not moving at all. Now what's surprising about it is no matter how much a person stays still their aura will have slight fluctuations but Jura over here is still, without any fluctuations at all. Hm, I think this could be because of him being an accomplished earth mage. Why did I come to that conclusion you ask? Well, earth is still, and calm. So his aura is also still and calm like the earth because of his understanding in regards to earth.

"Hammer of Justice."

I dashed at him but it appeared like I teleported because of my speed as I appeared in front of him with my right fist clad in space. I had already lowered my gravity but not much. Enough to let Jura at least have a reaction to my speed. After appearing in front of him, I sent my fist at him while calling out the name of the technique. I know it's not that flashy like the others but hey, it's my attack.

"Talus."

*boom*

Jura widened his eyes in surprise at my attack but reacted quickly as he surrounded himself with rocks. But his defense wasn't strong enough as he was blasted away a few meters after his rock defense Talus was broken. I quickly gave chase and appeared in front of him and sent another Hammer of Justice.

"Iron Rock Wall!"

He shouted his technique as he pointed his outstretched index and middle finger at me. And soon a large rock formation appeared between us as a wall. My attack made contact with the wall as dust flew from the impact.

*boom*

After the dust cleared the wall is revealed to have a dent and multiple cracks. But without paying much attention I jumped above the wall and once again appeared in front of Jura who was recovering his posture. Without giving him much chance I attacked him with a smaller version of Odin's judgement.

"Odin's Judgement!"

"Iron Rock Wall: Continuous Formation!"

*boom*

As Odin's Judgement made its way towards Jura, he creates rock formation after rock formation to block the attack. The first few walls were destroyed but then the space compressed spear lost its power as it disappeared. As the dust settle because of the impact of the attack on the rock walls. Jura is there breathing slightly hard while I am also breathing hard, much harder than him in fact. But without stopping I decided to test him with my strongest attack so far.

"Genesis Breaker!"

I stretched both of my hands towards him and yelled out. Space started to crack around him and he started to get pulled at multiple direction at once. Jura started to put on a painful expression but he slowly put his palms together in front of him as he mumbled out.

"R-rock Mou-ntain."

A large rock formation emerges from the ground behind him, taking the shape of a human clad in an Eastern-looking armor, complete with a helmet and with stone protrusions jutting out, with a frowning look and bright lights visible in the holes acting as its eyes. This allows Jura breathing space as he for the first time in this fight goes on the offensive.

"Iron Rock Fist."

Jura extends one of his hands, the index and middle fingers outstretched, towards the me. This prompts a very large arm made of rock, whose appearance is reminiscent of an intricate gauntlet, to emerge from the ground not far from him, and to move towards the me with its fist clenched.
