Temporary Peace

Inside one of the entrance zone, there was a pin drop silence as Mendel collapsed down after taking a slap.

The onlookers were stunned. The energy explosion from before has made them weaker even though they were protected by their own abilities and the preventive shields of guards and drones.

When the explosive energy disappeared, they wondered who has won. They felt it was obvious that "Dark Star" Mendel would be winning, but still, it was terrible that they would not be witnessing the golden-haired man into obliterating out of existence.

Now, when they finally gained their senses back, the reality was far too different. It was neither to their liking nor it made sense to them.

Everything took place so quickly that most of them did not see what had happened. All they saw was the final result of Mendel lying among broken pillars and wires. The development was the last thing they ever expected to see in the fair.
