Lightning Punch and Blood Apex Predator Punch are like two ferocious beasts, trying to invade each other's territory to devour each other. It reached a weird point of balance where the two forces stayed neutral.
Crimson stared at Leon with a stern face. He might seem calm but he was aware that his technique is losing ground to Leon's more violent technique.
Leon grinned and he charged up his attack more by feeding it with more electricity. Lightning Punch was pleased with the offering as the lightning crackled intensely.
BOOM!
After feeding his attack more, Crimson's technique got disintegrated. Crimson himself was pushed back some distance away from the attack.
"Woah!"
The spectators gasped at the sight. They couldn't believe their eyes.
"Crimson… was pushed back…"
''As expected of the crown prince.''
''Crimson is also not bad. He is very powerful!''
''It is just the beginning, none of them is serious yet.''
Here and there you could hear people talking.
Meanwhile in the arena.
''You are worthy enough for me get serious Leon!"
Crimson's words told the crowd that Leon was now officially acknowledged by him.
Everyone stayed silent but their eyes were burning with passion and elation.
Now that Crimson was about to go full power, the fight is only going to get more intense from this point on, how can they not feel excited?
Leon grinned, blood pumped through his veins toward his heart increasing his body temperature, he was excited. To think he would experience something like this before going to see his pal Alex for another friendly battle.
Crimson raised his arms and two sharp claws appeared to clad his hand. It was a 3 pronged claw with chains to fix the claw to his hand.
He examined the strap and he tightened its tether to his hands. The next instant, red mana started floating up, and as more mana poured out, his body was seemingly clad in a blood-red aura.
He changed completely after summoning his Gift.
The beast projection behind Crimson became even more realistic looking.
Leon stomped his feet and lightning crackled around him like a storm, making him look like an angry god of lightning that descended to fight against a terrible beast.
"Interesting…"
Crimson grinned while he brandished his claws.
He crouched and then he jumped up.
Reflected in Leon's golden eyes was the image of Crimson leaping at him in a manner that wouldn't expect for a guy as bulky as him. Leon flinched and he retreated.
However, Crimson is faster than him, he arrived in front of Leon and he struck at his chest with a beast projection-enhanced claw attack, the claw looked even more realistic.
The attack was heavily clad with layers upon layers of potent dou qi, if Wu Yan got hit by this the damage will be horrendous at the very least.
When the claws were about to pierce his cross-arm guard, he abandoned all defense and it looked like he is going to let the claws skewer his shoulder.
Leon summoned many fireballs which soon transformed into flame swords that looked solid like the real deal.
"You expect them to block my attack?"
Crimson thrust forth and his claws answered his call for more power by solidifying the aura around the claws into a denser form. His claws made contact with the wall of swords and they clashed.
Clang!
The claw made a clear gash in the wall of flame swords. That wasn't the end though.
Clang! Clang! Clang!!
Claw after claw, attacks landed upon the wall of swords, it was like somebody with a chainsaw was going mad ape mode on the wall of swords.
A bunch of the spectators clasped their hands together to calm their beating hearts. They saw how Leon was now the one being pushed back despite his strong start. These people are now worried about Leon.
"Leon…"
Leon's fiancee kept fidgeting, she looked worried as well. Crimson's attack was as ferocious as they are swift, if even one of this landed on Leon, his body would easily be torn to shreds.
Leon reinforced his wall of flame swords with his ability while Crimson used his stand beast projection claw to assault it, under his relentless attack, it was quite clear that this wall won't hold on much longer.
The spectators were all watching in fear as Crimson tore through the wall of flame swords like a beast. They were all silently judging Crimson's method of attack, the moment he breaks through the wall was likely to be the start of Leon's defeat, at least, that was what they thought.
Crimson didn't care what Leon did, he kept smashing, clawing, and pounding at the wall of flame swords until it finally crumbled, having succumbed to the damage built up over time.
The last attack that tore down the wall was a strong swipe at one of the weakened surfaces of the wall.
Leon's figure got exposed after the wall exploded.
However, he wasn't happy that it took so long to demolish this wall.
That was because Leon was grinning at him from behind the wall with a coin charging up in his fingers.
Crimson tensed up when he saw the coin. The sparks had an eerie feel to them, his danger instinct kicked up and his pupil contracted to better focus on the situation at hand.
He retreated away with a powerful leap backward.
Bluish-white lightning streamed from Leon's body into the coin and off it went, like an orange laser.
The orange laser didn't take long to reach Crimson.
Gnashing his teeth, he knew dodging is impossible at this point so he channeled his mana to augment his gift's sharpness. He chose to swipe at the incoming object with his enhanced armament.
However, something incredible happened, space distorted in front of the laser and it swallowed the coin before it made contact with Crimson.
Confused for just a moment, another portal opened up behind him while he was still stunned.
Knowing that he didn't have the time to block or dodge, cold sweat streamed down Crimson's exposed rear.
The orange laser from before shot out from within the portal and hit him.
Boom!
The remnants of the orange laser scattered around the arena like a mini-storm of sparks.
The arena got cracked and spiderweb-like crack formations appeared in the otherwise sturdy arena.
The spectators needed time to process what just happened.
At first, Leon had the upper hand and then Crimson turned the tide, now, the tide changed once more in favor of Leon.
This all happened in less than 5 minutes.
Such was the intensity and pace of this battle.
They started wondering about the unthinkable as they examined the situation in the arena.
Could this guy be able to pull it off?
The spectators had a newfound respect for their crown prince who seemed to be fighting differently than usual. The person himself looked composed but his chest was slightly heaving from fatigue.
The dust finally cleared up when the wind blew away the dust in the arena.
Standing there is the same old hulking figure of a beast-like human.
His appearance solidified the spectator's impression of Leon.
Crimson's special gear had been torn to shreds and there was smoke wafting up from his body, making this prince look rather unsightly.
Suddenly, everyone froze up, a vicious glint flashed in Crimson's eyes even though this glint shouldn't have been perceivable due to him lowering his head.
He looks like an injured beast that is about to go on a rampage.
His eyes had turned red from rage his original eyes are now dyed blood red. His beast projection took a step forward and merged with Crimson.
A thick crimson aura that seemed almost solid started burning with Crimson as the fuel source.
"Crap!"
Someone grabbed the railings in front of him. He bit down on his lips.
"Crimson is about to go on a rampage in his berserk mode!"
"Berserk mode? What's that?"
Someone in the crowd heard the words and berserk so they got concerned.
The man who previously spoke shook his head before he continued with a grim tone.
"Berserk mode is a special technique in the beast battle skills characteristic of someone coming from the Blooddawn's family. It would be more accurate to say it's a passive effect some of them are able to achieve when merging with their beast projections, this mode will substantially enhance the practitioner, rendering their power output even higher as a result. Imagine a powerful tiger merging with a powerful beast image of a tiger?''
The curious man's heart tightened and a chill went down his back as cold sweat covered his hands and feet; a feeling of unease clawed at his heart and he finally understood why the Blooddawn's family was one of the seven powerful families in the empire.
The fight have suddenly turned fierce, and the man wondered if the crown prince will be alright.
''That sounds like trouble.'' The curious man uttered.
