Chapter 81 - Mystery and Battle

Agast leaned forward and lowered his voice. "He's a bit of a mystery." He came out of nowhere and doesn't seem to have any connections or past history in the arena. But I have a feeling that he's hiding something."

Blue Leaf raised an eyebrow in interest. "Interesting. "Well, I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do in the ring."

Agast nodded in agreement. "You won't be disappointed." "He's definitely one to watch."

Axel arrives in Agast's room about thirty minutes later, finding him alone and drinking.

Agast invites Axel for a drink, which Axel happily accepts, as he would not say no to a drink.

"Are you ready for your real fight in the underground nen battles?"

Agast asks as an excited smile forms on his face.

Axel takes a sip from his whiskey and then answers.

"Of course, I am ready, but you do not forget that the prize is Mystic Rose, am I right?"

Agast laughs and then answers.

"Of course not, this is a big fight; you'll be fighting Karias, who has won more than ten matches here before you."

Axel felt excited instead of taken aback. He wanted to try his Freedom with Sealed Origin because, because of the effect of Sealed Origin, his teleportation and his ability to attack are better.

Axel nods, and the three of them make their way to the arena. As they approach the entrance, Axel can feel the excitement building inside him. He's fought in many battles before, but the underground nen battles are always unique.The tension in the air, the roar of the crowd, and the thrill of the fight

The crowd cheers as Axel enters the arena and makes his way to the center of the ring.He looks up to see the woman with blue hair sitting in the front row, watching him intently.

Agast introduces Axel to his opponent, Kraus, who stands on the other side of the ring. Kraus is a tall, muscular man with a serious expression on his face. Axel can sense the aura of his opponent, and he knows that he's in for a tough fight.

As the bell rings, Axel and Kraus move to the center of the ring. Axel can feel the energy in the air and the crowd cheering as the two fighters circle each other. Kraus charges forward, his fists clenched, ready to strike.

Axel takes a step back, assessing his opponent's movements. He knows that he can't match Kraus's strength head-on, so he decides to use his speed to his advantage. He dodges to the side as Kraus swings a powerful punch, then moves in to deliver a quick jab to Kraus's side.

Kraus grunts in pain, but he's not fazed. He charges forward again, unleashing a barrage of blows. Axel ducks and weaves, dodging the attacks with ease. He's fast, but he knows that he can't keep this up forever.

Axel decides to go on the offensive, launching a flurry of quick strikes at Kraus. Kraus blocks most of the attacks, but one manages to land a glancing blow to his shoulder.

Kraus snarls in anger and launches himself at Axel. Axel takes a step back, then jumps forward, using his nen to enhance his strength. He lands a powerful kick to Kraus's chest, sending him flying back.
