59. Against Arthur

The battle between class A's were an eye opener for Leo, he was able to see different kind of abilities, like a man using his blood as explosives, another, a woman who used her hair like chains and so on.

However there are differences in their battle prowess, from class B to A was a transition, every Extraordinary will experience an explosive growth in strength, those with talent would be able to merge quickly with this newfound strength and develop it further.

There weren't that many class A's, so the battles were quickly coming to an end. By purpose or not Leo still didn't get matched up with Arthur. Everyone was waiting for the competition to end with a bang.

"Arthur!"

"Leo!"

Both their names were called out. Leo stood up and walked towards the stage, everyone followed him as he stepped onto the stage.

Arthur stood opposite him with a cold arrogant look on his face, "You are going down."

"Oh."

Leo tersely acknowledged him and waited for the referee to give the signal. The whole hall was completely silent, even those class S old men were serious and looked on with excitement.

"Begin!"

The referee swung his hand down and yelled loudly. As soon as his words left his mouth Arthur disappeared, like a ghost he appeared behind Leo, his pistol was already drawn out and aimed at Leo's head.

Bang!

A shot was fired, Leo seemed to have an eye behind his head, he tilted his head and kicked back. Arthur scoffed and vanished again, this time he went low and fired several shots. Witnessing his speed Leo was surprised, he used his sword domain and shredded the bullets.

Arthur wasn't shocked, he calmly dodged around Leo and fired many times. Leo didn't bother to dodge the bullets and simply destroyed them, however Arthur was different from other Extraordinaries, he was a close combat expert.

Combined with his precise shooting he used several opportunities to try and knock out Leo.

After fifty or so exchange Arthur retreated and looked at Leo seriously, "Be proud, mongrel, you actually managed to make use my full power."

Leo was surprised. Arthur suddenly disappeared again, without a sound he appeared beside Leo and fired. Like before Leo tore the bullet to pieces.

Hm?

His spiritual sense suddenly picked up something. A cold wind swept past his face causing his facial muscles to tremble. He raised an eyebrow.

Cold wind? Where did that come from?

He wasn't given any chance to ponder as Arthur resumed his attack and luckily he didn't have to think any further as the answer presented itself.

Leo tore the bullets coming at him, but as he did so a cold wind started to assault him. He was slightly stunned as he saw what was happening, Arthur's bullets were covered with a faint layer of blue energy.

Even though he destroyed the bullets the energy still propelled forward and managed to hit him.

He looked at Arthur in shock and asked, "Double abilities?"

Arthur smirked. Leo rubbed his nose when he saw that smug expression of his, however he gotta say, this Arthur guy was extremely talented. He had the extremely rare Space and Ice abilities.

This puts him head and shoulders above other priests, no wonder everyone told me to be careful of him.

Leo was lost in thought when Arthur attacked from all sides. The air was starting to get colder with each shot, even those sitting down below felt their breathing slightly hard. Getting shot by several blasts or cold energy Leo's body was covered in frost

Arthur placed his gun back in his holster and said, "It's over."

By now the air inside the stage was well below zero. The ground was turned to ice and sparkled under light, Leo stood at the opposite end fully covered in frost. Those class S Extraordinaries also nodded their heads after seeing Arthur's prowess.

Edward said with a smile, "This kid got stronger."

Larry laughed, "Looks like Lex has a good son. Seems like the abilities of this eastern guy stops here."

Hilson showed slight disappointment, "Training can only get you so far."

Christine said with a chuckle, "That's of course. Humans have limits, it's naturally impossible for a normal person to beat an Extraordinary, who broke past his limits."

Edward nodded, he was about to say something when he realised that the referee still didn't announce the victor. He looked over in confusion and was stupified.

Arthur had an arrogant expression on his face, "I told you, you abilities are nothing infront of me!"

Leo who was covered in frost showed a mysterious smile, he opened his mouth and said something, "You are definitely strong but... you still don't understand the horror of a domain."

Huh?

Arthur was about to speak when he suddenly opened his mouth wide like a hippo, his eyes stared so wide that they looked like they were about to pop out of his sockets.

The frost covering Leo was gone! No! Not just the frost on him, everything within a three meter circle around him was gone. It looked as if some kind of force was pushing it away, cutting everything inside that circle into tiny little pieces. Leo curled his lips and took a step forward and... disappeared.

Arthur failed to even react, he didn't see or sensed when a sword was resting on his neck. Cold sweat slid down his throat, he felt as if his whole body was under the gaze of a horrible beast.

The referee saw the situation and failed to react for some time, however he snapped back soon and shouted loudly.

"Leo wins!"

Everyone beneath the stage went silent for a moment before erupting into madness. Leo beat Arthur, this wasn't just any Extraordinary but a top player that had naturally awakened and had two abilities.

However such a person was defeated! And the most amazing part was, they didn't see it. Yes! They didn't see it, it all happened in an instant, at one moment Arthur was about to be declared the winner but at the next, he was defeated.

Leo took back his sword and walked back to his seat. He smiled inside when he saw everyone's stupified gaze.
