38 The power of a knigth

Derek looked at Maxwell coldly.

"Do you have any idea what you're doing kid?"

"No." Maxwell was sincere. "But in class I've learned that you can't kill me even if you're a knight ranker."

"I don't need to kill you to make your life miserable."

"You can try." I challenge you maxwell.

The people in the coliseum were in an uproar.

"He's insane!!"

"It's crazy."

"That's true but... how did he move so fast?"

"That's not the main question, the question is: who the hell is he?"

"He's just a kid." An old man shook his head.

"He is very handsome."

"Not for long."

++++

"Hahahahahaha. You have guts child, since you insist so much I will evaluate what makes you so confident." Derek waved his hand.

"Give the boy a sword." He yelled as he took off the jacket he was wearing.

One of the knights in the audience took the sword from him and threw it at Maxwell.

"Try not to die too quickly." He yelled with a laugh echoed by the entire audience.

Maxwell took the sword and waved trying to familiarize himself with the weight of it.

"Are you sure you want me to use a sword?" He asked a little bewildered.

"Do not worry." Derek started to stretch. "No matter how hard you try, you won't be able to scratch me. They don't call me the immovable knight for nothing."

Maxwell shrugged and under everyone's watchful eyes, his body began to bathe in lightning, his hair stood up and he took a stance.

"Are you ready?" He asked.

"S-" Derek couldn't finish his word before he felt cold metal crash into his chest.

"What the hell?!"

Maxwell moved at high speeds appearing in a blink in front of Derek and slashing at his torso.

Derek slid across the floor a few inches, his shirt ripped apart and he fell to the ground at the same time Maxwell appeared on the other side of the arena.

"iiissssshhhhh" the audience took a breath of cold air in sync. Many couldn't help but get in the same position as Derek and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Shit!" Maxwell gritted his teeth and dropped the sword to the ground. His hands were opened and began to bleed. Derek on the other hand didn't have a scratch on his body.

His clothes were cut off, but his body was unharmed.

"Uffffff." Derek sighed as he touched his stomach. "I thought he was going to die!"

"I guess I can't hold back against you can I?"

"Tch!" Maxwell clucked his tongue in annoyance. He fired several bolts in his direction but Derek blocked them with his big arms.

He ran in circles around him and fired a few bolts by disabling his lightning speed for a few moments.

Derek blocked all the attacks with relative ease and even if he didn't he couldn't hurt his body at all it would make him stagger and lose his balance. "So you're one of those guys who trusts his speed a lot, right?" Derek slammed both fists into the ground and shook the coliseum.

Maxwell tripped over the tremor and with the speed he was carrying crashed into the wall. Derek ran to him, grabbed one of his legs and hurled him like a ball against the wall on the other side of the coliseum.

Arrrggg!!

"Is that all you have." Derek snickered with his little finger to his ear.

Maxwell felt his back snap and currents of pain ran through his body, but he didn't care, something more important than his body being hurt.

Her pride of him!!

The more Derek ridiculed him and the people around him laughed, he felt the rage begin to consume him, engulf him and seize him, as such he stopped holding back.

His eyes turned a terrifying blue as a terrifying field of lightning appeared in his vicinity. The continuous sonic booms accompanied by terrifying lightning bolts burning the arena scared everyone in the audience. Maxwell accumulated so much magic that his eyes no longer showed his irises, but blue lightning.

He hadn't felt like this in a long time, this magnificent feeling of liberation and power.

He stretched out both arms a little shakily and used a power that he had only used once in a rage attack.

The bolts focused on both of his hands and a giant overwhelming energy bolt shot out, reaching Derek's body in a second.

The bolt hit Derek squarely and sent him flying into the coliseum wall, but the attack didn't stop there. Derek smashed through the coliseum wall and was sent flying into the distance.

As the lightning attack couldn't be stopped in the middle, Maxwell raised his hands and divided the colosseum in half to let the lightning fly into the sky. Without wasting a second Maxwell moved me at tremendous speed and grabbed Derek who was still in the air by the foot, spun him around several times and sent him flying back to the coliseum where he crashed into the wall. Exterior.

Derek held his stomach and vomited on him.

"Damn! A kid is beating me up." He spat out blood with a defeated smile. "I think you've already proven your point kid, that's enough-"

Derek's speech was interrupted by another terrifying bolt of energy that sent him through the wall and panicked the onlookers as they discovered that the coliseum was slowly beginning to collapse.

With great speed maxwell reappeared in front of Derek and launched a barrage of blows that sent him into the stands. Although Derek had taken almost no damage and Maxwell's fists began to bleed, he didn't stop. He kept appearing and disappearing around her in a frenzy.

Derek didn't want to sit idly by and hit back too.

Under panicked screams and students running, Maxwell and Derek slammed into each other and destroyed seats. Maxwell's beams were repelled by Derek but they were still strong enough to start destroying the structures.

Various knights on site took it upon themselves to evacuate the students as quickly as possible and protect them in the process.

Derek fended off one of Maxwell's bolts, stomping on the ground shaking the coliseum in the process and appearing in front of Maxwell with a raised fist.

Maxwell stopped shooting lightning bolts and ran several meters back before starting lightning bolts again.

"Shit!" Derek bristled, placing both of his hands on the ground and closing his eyes in concentration. Several of Maxwell's attacks hit him squarely but he ignored them.

After a few seconds Derek opened his eyes as the ground around him began to shake.

The tremors grew stronger and stronger as time passed until the ground began to crack and the coliseum to collapse with it.

Maxwell was unable to escape in time and tripped. Derek took advantage of that little moment of inattention to approach Maxwell.

Maxwell fired several bolts and tried to escape but the ground was still shaking. Before he could think of a countermeasure, Derek grabbed him around the neck and slammed into the wall.

"Stop!! This has gone too far." He yelled furiously.

"Hahaha." Maxwell smiled. "I never wanted to fight in the first place, but if you prick a lion you better be prepared for it to bite you."

The hair of the knights and students in the vicinity of the coliseum began to rise against gravity, the ground began to tremble, and the sky suddenly darkened.

"Are you crazy!!!" Derek screamed in fright and hit maxwell on the head to make him lose consciousness. Even so, a small ray managed to fall from the sky creating a great rumble that destroyed what was left of the coliseum.

A lightning bolt that connected the sky with the earth!!

Many people were blown away just by the shock wave from the impact.

Under the surprised eyes of all Derek came out of the ruins of the coliseum with an unconscious Maxwell by the neck. His body was partially burned and he was limping, but he was still fine.

In front of all the still present spectators, Derek gently placed Maxwell on the ground near Andrea and Filip.

"Take him and treat his wounds."

Then he turned his gaze to the crowd.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry to put you through such a dangerous experience." Derek bowed with proper etiquette. "On the other hand, this boy has shown incredible power and has what it takes to be a knight, for that and for the power conferred on me as a ranker: I Derek Tudor proclaimed maxwell magnar knight of the empire."

Derek looked at the ruins of the coliseum behind him and smiled.

"The Knight of Destruction."

After that shocking statement, Derek looked for his son and in front of everyone he threw a blow that sent him flying.

"I came to teach that kid a lesson when I really should have taught you. Learn to choose your friends…" Derek looked at Maxwell on the ground. "And your enemies too."

+++++++++

Maxwell's first equal battle.

e to clarify that number 1, Derek never wanted to kill maxwell if he had wanted him that way and he was dead.

2. Maxwell tried to throw a ragnarok but he could only pull out a small bolt of lightning as he was knocked unconscious.
