Inter Domanial Competition IV

And just like that, one more competitor was down. Soon, two other people walked into the battleground.

Sallie stared at Zagan for a long time before talking. "Pretty boy... I like you." She spoke nonchalantly.

"And I wouldn't want to hurt you but this tournament is mine!"

And just like Titan, Zagan remained quiet not because he didn't have the words to say but because he simply couldn't. Sallie raised her brow. 'Really! Copying the last contestant wouldn't make you as good as he was.'

"A piece of advice pretty boy; I'm not like that fowl leg that just lost miserably. I won't take it easy on you."

Still, no word came out of Zagan's lips.

"If that's the way you want it, no worries. I'll show you the difference between hell and earth." and just like that, she launched her soul attack.

Although Zagan had already been taught how to shield himself from this soul attack by master WenXu but because it wasn't physically seen with humans eyes, he couldn't tell when to repel it and when he should attack, he felt something hit his shield wall. At this time, he was only defending himself, shielding himself from all her attacks but every attack grew stronger than the former; trying to crumble his defense.

No! There was no way he could let this girl continue to attack him so, he tried to activate the repulsive techniques he was taught. The attack he was taught was a mental attack so he tried using but it didn't seem to work. Seeing that she was ready for another attack, he was sure that this time, he was going to be in deep shit if he didn't find a way to take her down immediately.

Just when he was trying to get the repulsive attack to work, another attack came from Sallie. And almost immediately after the attack came in contact with him, the attack bounced back. And the effect of the repulsion was double of Sallie's original attack.

Sallie was caught off guard. Although she could see the attack coming, she was just too surprised that Zagan could send it back and didn't react in time until the attack got to her and almost shattered her soul. She didn't even have time to groan in pain before she passed out. Everyone was dumbstruck. How on earth was he able to do that even master Shi De was a little taken aback, but the only person that maintained a straight face, was master WenXu. Indeed, he had faith in this boy.

Finally, the last two competitors were decided. Zagan and Titan had won the semi-finals and would go up against each other in the finals.

Noticing that they needed time to recuperate, the masters gave them a few minutes break before the final tournament began.

At this time, Titan was both anxious and surprised. She knew if she had to go up against Sallie, she stood no chance because she didn't know how to repel her attacks but now, she was even more worried about this boy who shared the same eye color as her. He posed an even more serious threat. Certainly, he still had other skills and this was just the tip of the iceberg.

On the other hand, Zagan was equally surprised by Titan's performance. A dude that could control fire and knock out a competitor with just one strike, what was there not to worry about. It was obvious that that wasn't his competitor's best and this young boy Zagan was to go up against still had many skills up his sleeves. Of course, Zagan had no idea that Titan was a girl because her outfit made it simply impossible to tell.

The tournament began very quickly and both Zagan and Titan stood at the two sides of the field, facing each other and waiting for the first person to make a move.

'What's he doing? Is he trying to copy me? Is this one of his tricks?' Titan thought.

At this point, none of them made a move. They were both wondering why the other would neither do anything nor talk.

Titan grew frustrated, she felt she was about to implode then thought.

'Make a move you dumbass.'

And at that moment, Zagan raised his brow in astonishment.

'You... How... How did you do that? Did you just say something?' He heard her thoughts. And surprisingly, she heard his too.

Their mouths were not moving but they were staring at each other as if communicating secretly. The audience was caught up in an awkward situation. What was going on? Why weren't they fighting?

'How is this even possible.' Zagan was fascinated and didn't even recall that they were on the battlefield. It was phenomenal to meet someone who could hear him without having him write down his thoughts.

Realizing something, Zagan stared at Titan in askance. 'Are you not a guy? Why do you sound like a girl?'

Titan was stupefied but when Zagan asked her that question, she became aware of the present.

'That's none of your business. How's this even possible? How are we conversing?'

Instinctively, Zagan asked 'Are you...' He started at the girl in front of him and wondered if she was the one he met before at the lynx castle but after a while, he decided not to ask again and shrugged that thought to the back of his mind.

Zagan was excited to have found someone like Titan and was eager to know more about her.

'What is your name?'

Titan instantly dismissed him. 'Hey! That's not what's important right now. Look...' Titan side-eyed the crowd.

'They're all watching... Let's leave the chitchat for another time. Don't think cause, we can converse I'll go easy on you. In this tournament, I'm wining. For now, let's get down to business.' As she concluded that statement, her hands brought forth a fireball.

Zagan chuckled inwardly. 'Well dude, even though you sound like a girl since you're in a boy's outfit, MAY THE BEST MAN WIN. Since you sound like a girl, I'll let you go first.'

Titan scoffed and launched her first attack. The fireball wasn't too big it was just the same size as the one she used to take down Birtle. And just with a punch of his hand, he blew it out. On his fist was an air-like shield that instantly turned off the fire with force even the masters could feel their chairs vibrate. Everyone stared in astonishment. Who on the earth is this god.

Zagan raised his brow 'Are you underestimating me? Even though that was powerful, I'm sure you can still do better. Or is that all you've got?'

Titan was so irritated by his cocky statement. This was a tournament and that comment had hurt her pride. She squinted her eyes and sighed inwardly.

'I was just checking if you were up to the task.' After saying this, she let out a sly smile causing her beautiful dimple to be exposed and her eyes glimmered. All the boys and girls felt their eyes widen in astonishment what was that?

Titan turned serious again 'Are you ready?'

'As will ever be.' Zagan replied. Obviously, he had no idea what was coming next.

This time, Titan made the flame bigger. Zagan widened his eyes as he stared up at the big ball of flame. He underestimated this competitor of his. He placed his legs properly on the floor and balanced himself.

Titan released the ball of fire and this time around, Zagan knew that just a punch wouldn't do so he formed layers after payers of shield wall around himself to protect his whole body. As the flamed came closer, the shield began evaporating with a big 'bang' sound as each of the walls crumble. With each fallen wall, the fireball also weakened but still, in no time, all the shield walls were gone and before he could react he was sent flying further away from the field. He rolled on the floor but stood up almost immediately. He dusted his shoulder.

"Not bad, that's what I have been waiting for. Now, it's my turn."
