They knew that their older brother was mad.

Alexander normally had a gentle and kind presence but when he was provoked he transform into a different person. It was like night and day.

***

Before the end of the Xela final match, more audiences are already found that the situation is hopeless he survives that match.

Since the fight part of the match, Xela was already in the passive position.

One thing that made the audience find it odd was the Host Red was complementing Xela the whole match even at the time Xela was at a disadvantage in the match.

After Xela escape from Bryan's attacks and took a short break.

He made some make-shift spear-like weapons made of wood branches.

Red was jumping like a kid as he watch Xela's actions even only a few audiences appreciate Xela's actions in the battle arena.

"Super Cool!" Red can help said as he watches Xela make some ropes and other makeshift tools.

The Live broadcast looks like a surviving TV show than a match in a battle arena.

After making a lot of tools and weapons Xela set up all the things he made across the battlefield.

Xela was careful to confuse his opponent to ensure he will not know his real intention.

He tied ropes in some trees together he make sure that it is not easy to spot.

The main purpose of the rope was to trip the person that will pass by.

He also made a simple trap that will throw the sharp wood spear once triggered.

The Xela intention was not to damage his opponent with the cheap tricks but to annoy him so that he can create an opportunity he can take advantage of.

***

Bryan was so pissed off when Xela manage to escape from him.

"F*ck this opponent is like a cockroach. So hard to like" Bryan can help cursed.

Due to his skills being a bane to more of his opponent in the battle arena that he can kill them so easily.

It was his first time in the matches to encounter an opponent like Xela which had experience in fighting.

Bryan notice that his opponent had limited skills to attack him. So he guesses his opponent will initiate to attack him after it can recover enough energy.

"Why the hell my opponent seems experienced in fighting which is rare of the most Gamers who had no experience in combat with other humans" Bryan can help comment.

Bryan decided to take some time to rest while waiting for his opponent Xela to initiate to attack on him.

He also needs to recover his energy to use his skills.

After 3 hours Bryan was getting impatient that his opponent did show any sign to show up.

"F*ck where the hell is this coward. Dont tell me he is planning to mess me up!" Bryan cant help curse impatiently.

On the other side, Xela was watching his opponent from afar.

Just after a few minutes, a scream of pain came from a beast can be heard.

Screeekkk!

This made Bryan stunned to hear it he was stunned to realize that there are beasts in this forest in contrast to what he expected.

A smile blooms on Xela's face and starts to run off to the next point of his plan.

"Round 2," Xela said to himself.

Screekkk!

It alarm Bryan that the scream of the beast is not trying to intimate him but it was more a scream of pain.

"What the hell is going on. What the idiot does" Bryan can help wonder at this moment he was thinking of staying there or looking for his opponent.

Bang! Screekk!

Even the scream of the beast is annoying it to the point it can mask the sound of a gunshot it was still noticed by Bryan.

"F*ck! This Sh*t is near." Bryan cant help curse knowing his opponent was just near him and just observing him.

"You finally decided to show up," Bryan said ask him to control a large number of vines to shoot up from the ground.

Seeing Bryan's wide control of his vine skill made Xela smile even more.

Xela activated his skill Indulgence for a couple of seconds after the first scream of the beast.

*Skill that triggers others' greed and will cloud their minds.

To disrupt the thoughts of his opponent.

The moment his opponent releases the massive vine skill that looks more natural wonder of the world.

It looks like a piece of art but Xela had no time to appreciate it and activate his skill Hoggish.

*That makes a target hungry and can't stop eating

Bryan notice for some reason he felt unbearable hunger.

"F*CK this is a skill not a natural reaction of my body" Bryan was left fear deep within.

Happy New Year! 2022:)
