Chap 48:- Being Serious

"Ahh dam it! Where are they taking soo long for!! This is the battle for which I was eating from the very first day of the tournament!" Diana punched the side table beside her.

Every single person on the battlefield waited for Esteem Souls' entry.

"Ten more seconds and Flare continent would be crowned as the winners!"

"Ten."

"Nine."

"Eight."

"Seven."

"Six"

"Five."

"Four."

"Three!!"

The crowd was going crazy they all really want this match to take place.

"Two!!!"

"And the last one is one-!"

"Shadow Teleportation!" Zeno quickly teleported to the battlefield, the sun was not too bright, hence he was able to teleport to the shadow of the referee.

"Speak of the Devil!!!" Everyone roared in excitement when they saw Zeno/Wing appear on the stage.

"Sorry, it took us some while..." Rest others quickly rushed to their seats.

Everyone was happy on seeing them reach on time, they all would have been really disappointed if they wouldn't show up.

"Haha, he is here... I was going to search for him if he hadn't hopped in time..." Diana took a deep breath and fixed her gaze on Zeno.

"Am sorry folks from Flare, I got some business to deal with... But now am free! We can continue it." Zeno stretched out his arms and snapped his fingers.

"Dam this arrogant..." Bonjo wanted to smash his face into the ground, but warden John grabbed his arm.

"Why stopping me!? I will be crushing his face in no time!" Johan was really eager to fight.

"Calm down, let others fight him."

"What!!! No way,! Do you think they can defeat him? Me, Sasha or Alisha only we there can defeat him!"

"Huh... Listen, I highly doubt you three can do it alone... We will see dour other members and they will fight him, they will weaken him, and when he couldn't keep up with all of them, you can just land the final blow." Johan smirked and continued, "Dont forget you you have one of the best strategists as your warden."

Johan closed his eyes and tried tk give ut a thought, he was still annoyed he was not allowed to fight first, but winning was more important.

"Alright..." Bonjo dropped on the chair behind him.

"Flint go on you are first." John decided to send their team's illusion master into the battle.

"Alright! I will show him the power of my illusion." Flint quickly jumped onto the battlefield.

"The Final Match has finally begun!!! Flint Maxwell!! The son of Master Dane's right-hand man! Well known for his Volcano Maze Illusion!! And on the hand Wong who is a complete mystery!!"

Everyone present at the stadium was hyped for their battle.

It was going to be a battle between two steps strong competitors, and Zeno had already decided he won't hold back even for a little, even if his cover blows off.

"Both the competitors, I would be your referee for today's battle, final matches always have referees because the competitors are all top-notch and we can't afford to lose any of them. Enough talk go on you can pick your weapon." The referee for their battle jumped off the stage and waited for Flint and Zeno/Wong to choose their weapons.

"Soul Crusher blade!" Flint ahead and picked a heaven-ranked weapon, it was a twenty-inch sword with a demon head as its pommel.

"Not bad... Good choice, it is good against my super strong dark energy." Zeno went on ahead and picked a two Shoulder strap, it had many small knives all over it.

"Wong has selected the Shoulder Straps, to be honest, I don't think it's a good weapon..."

"You really think that is good?" Flint points his sword toward Zeno.

"I don't think... I know it is enough, for you all*" Zeno sarcastically replied to Flint.

And that was enough to make him Los his temper.

"Haha... You kid... I will show you what are you messing with..." Flint pointed his finger towards Zeno and continued, "This is where you lose."

He went ahead and snapped his fingers, and resonance was created.

The area around Zeno began to twist and turn, and the land beneath him began to tear apart.

*Crack*

Soon lava began to flow through the gaps, and soon it covered the whole field, burning each and everything.

"Haha... This is my special Lava Maze Illusion!" Flint grabbed his sword and moved toward Zeno.

Zeno stood there with a smile on his face.

Inside the illusion, a massive monster jumped from the pool of lava.

"Hmm, an illusion huh, it seems you don't get it do you?" Even though Zeno was under an illusion his words were clearly audible to everyone.

Flint took a step back when he heard him talk, "What do you mean?!"

Flint fed his mana to the sword and swung it aiming for Zeno's neck.

*Clang*

Zeno grabbed his sword and squeezed it, blood began to drip from his hands, but he kept on applying force until the sword crumbled.

Zeno slowly opened his eyes and gave a smirk to Flint and continued, "First things first, I will tell you what actually happened to that illusion, the answer is that I broke it."

"Bullshit! You can't break my illusion like that!" Flint rushed back to the table and lucked another sword.

"Huh... Kids these days don't hear me out... The basic of creating the illusion is by for ing your aura inside your foes senses, any one of them, you deceived my eyes, and when your aura enters my eyes it begins tk fight my aura inside me, and I allowed your aura to flow into me, just to check what is your illusion, and it was trash... So yeah once I got a glimpse of it, I unleashed my blocked aura and it destroyed your aura, and that's how you break an illusion! We sir educational? Come on tell me." Zeno smiled at him when he found him burning with rage.

Diana and other rulers couldn't believe that a child was able to break an illusion and understand the fundamentals behind it.

"No doubt... He's someone blessed..." Diana focused on the battlefield, almost sweating her forehead.

'She does not have to pay such close attention..' Zeno sighed and moved his gaze towards Flint.

"Hahahaha, your arrogant brat! You used your bare hand to crush my sword, no doubt you are strong, but you are dumb! You hurt your hand and now it's bleeding like crazy!" Flint laughed on seeing Zeno bleed.

Zeno moved his gaze towards his hand, it already healed but blood stains remained.

"Don't worry buddy it's healed look!" Zeno places his hand in front of Flint and shows his healed wound.

"N... No way... A regenerator!!!!" Flint jumped back when he realised the person he was fighting was a regenerator.

"No fucking way!!" Diana smashed the table beside her, the wooden table lost its leg and fell.

"He has three abilities!!" Having three abilities is very very rare, there are only one in a million who can have three abilities.

'Haha, I wonder how she will react when she finds out I have almost crossed a hundred abilities.'

Zeno clenched his eyes and glared at Flint, "Listen, buddy, just give up I would let you go without a stretcher."

Zeno's mocking pierced right through his heart, and he lost himself completely to rage.

"Huh... People of Flare are always angry..." Zeno dodged the sword which Flint threw at him.

"I would better die!!" Flint jumped on Zeno and punched his face.

*Bam*

Zeno placed his hand on his cheek and continued, "Now I have a reason to smash you into a pulp..."

Zeno moved his hand which got hurt while breaking the sword close to his mouth and gently lucked off the blood.

"He... He will use Re... Revenge...!?" All the Black Sea members took a deep breath when they saw Zeno lick off his blood.

Tenke these abilities are birth abilities, they can be learned by only one soul, that means until the current user dies and reincarnates there will be no one who can use the same ability, it is a rare type of ability, but it takes year's to show itself. And Zeno had this special type of ability.

"I will mop the floor with your face..." Suddenly mana began to leak out from Zeno's body.

"Oh boy... That Flint's gonna be a toast..." Catherine pitied Flint for being in that situation.

"What do you me-"

*Boom*

Zeno concentrated his mana in his hand and punched Flint.

His head got smashed between the ground and his hands, since Zeno was holding back he didn't kill him, but he sure fractured his neck bone and broke his jaw.

"I told you... No messing with me..." Zeno went and licked the blood off from his wrist.

"O... Oh! Alright!! Wong Wins the first round!! Who... Who will be the second one to battle?" Even the commentator was shocked by the sight.

"Wait!!" Diana jumped on the battlefield and grabbed Zeno's hand.

"Wow wow, what are you doing?" Zeno shook his and off from her.

"Was that the Dark Battle Dance??" The power matched a lot to that of the Battle Dance.

"Huh... No, it was not... I just concentrated my mana in my palm and smashed it in his face." Zeno was not interested to answer any more of her questions.

"Oh... Ok..." Diana turned towards the crowd and continued, "Am sorry for the inconvenience my People, I was just checking in something." Diana flew back to her seat.

"Wow... She looks like a fairy when she flies..." Everyone was mesmerised by seeing her fly.

"I will be the next one!" One of Jade's students jumped onto the battlefield.

"Alright!"

"AAaahhhh!!!" The moment he got into the battlefield Zeno shaped his aura into a needle and pierced it through his shoulder disabling him from moving.

"Who is the next one? Be quick I don't like wasting my time!"
