Chapter 263 Sanguine Mist
263 Sanguine Mist
"The fight is starting!"
When the voice resounded in the room, everyone held their breaths and their eyes turned towards the ring.
Everyone looked at Jack and the mutated Lizard and an excited expression appeared on their faces.
"I don't think this guy would be able to win, even Sika ended up dead in front of this lizard."
"Well, he is with Hena, he must have some capability for him to be Hena's friend."
The crowd started forming different opinions about Jack, and both Hena and Elma were listening to them, however, they didn't care, what mattered to them was the fight between Jack and the Monster.
Both of them believe in Jack and both of them know that he will win.
Rawr!
The lizard looked at Jack with a ferocious gaze and stepped forward, showing its sharp teeth.
The Lizard's every step placed a strange pressure on Jack as if he was feeling pressed by heavy gravity.
He felt like he was on some bigger planet.
He took in a deep breath and controlled his emotions. Then raising his hand he started looking into his mind and soon enough he could feel his yellow energy again.
Pulling the energy out of his body it swirled on his palm and soon enough a yellow ball of energy formed on his hand.
Both Hena and Elma looked at his energy with their eyes narrowed. This was the first time they were seeing it and they could tell that it was powerful.
Even the crowd looked at the energy with strange expressions on their faces.
"Look that energy looks dangerous!"
"He is indeed powerful, how can he be not? After all, he is with Miss Hena herself."
"Hmph, that could be just a hoax, let's wait and see if it's all for show or if it has some potential."
The crowd started murmuring among themselves as they saw the yellow energy.
"What do you think about that energy? Will he be able to defeat that Lizard?" Elma suddenly asked with her brows raised as she looked at Hena.
She could tell that Hena was strong and may be able to tell if the energy would work or not.
Hena stayed silent at her question and then she took a deep breath, her gaze then moved from Jack and landed on Elma.
"His energy is powerful, I can sense it!" she said and looked at Jack with her eyes narrowed. There was a complicated expression on her face. "It might be even better than my green energy." She said and took in a deep breath.
When Elma heard her, she raised her brows in shock. "Even better than yours?" She can't help but exclaim. Although this was the first time she had met Hena, however, she had heard about her a lot.
Elma knows that Hena is one of the most powerful members of Red Collars and a proud one too, for her to say that Jack's energy was more powerful than hers means that Jack was really strong.
Even Jack would be shocked if he heard Hena's words. He has seen her wrath in the other dimension and if not for Vieva getting the power of the ring in time then She would have killed them both.
Some other people in the surroundings also heard Hena's words and they took a step back in shock.
Murmurs rang in the hallway as all of them looked at Jack with newfound respect.
"Miss Hena said that this guy's power is stronger than hers... Impossible!"
"Impossible what?! This is a big world, there are many hidden superpowers that we don't know about, this guy must be one of them."
"It's good that Tommo died early, or he would have vomited blood if he found out that this guy was stronger than Miss Hena."
"Yes, Tommo would have lost his first bet today. Hahaha... But his luck helped him, like always."
The crowd started chatting, most of them had shocked expressions on their faces. Because of Hena's statement.
However, their expressions soon turned ugly when they heard her next statement.
"However there is a huge problem with his power." She said and took in a deep breath, her gaze gently looked at Jack with hope.
"What do you mean?" Elma frowned her brows, this was an important matter for her. She loved Jack and wanted to know what sort of problem does his power had.
"Hmph! I knew that this guy had some sort of problem with his power. There is no way that he would be stronger than Hena. He looks weak."
"Yes, don't be too excited guys, even Hena said that this guy has a big problem."
The crowd's reaction changed with Hena's simple statement. The people who were previously looking at Jack with reverence were now looking at him with disdain.
Some of them even let out a mocking chuckle. They were happy that Jack wasn't as strong as they imagined.
The jealousy in their hearts was called down, and a newfound proudness came to their faces.
After all, how can an average-looking guy get both high power and friendship with Hena? It was like a toad getting swan meat.
It was outrageous for them!
"His power... I can feel that it's extremely, unstable. It should be hard for him to aim it correctly, if not impossible." Hena said and let out a sigh.
She had high hopes for Jack, after all, she was somewhat infatuated by him. After he has saved her from Vieva she feels a strange attraction towards him.
She had felt this attraction only with one person in her life before. And that was her mother. However, her attraction towards Jack is a bit different from her mother and she can't put a finger on what it is.
Elma listened to Hena and looked at Jack, she could see a confident expression on his face and then a smile moved on her face too. She looked back at Hena and chuckled.
"Don't be disappointed, he has a habit of surprising people tremendously." She said.
Hena listened to her and after a second of silence, she nodded. "Let's hope for the best. I will make sure to stop this test if it gets even a bit dangerous." She didn't want any harm to befall on Jack.
"Thanks," Elma said and turned her body around, straight towards Jack, the fight was almost starting and she didn't wanna miss even a second of it.
So did Hena, she also focused her attention completely on Jack and looked at the match with both of her hands in front of her chest.
The crowd in the hallway also focused. They were interested in Jack, as he had come with one of the most powerful red-collar members.
Some wanted to see his downfall to boost their egos and some were just curiously watching.
Even the black hooded guy appeared again and was silently watching the whole match with a keen interest. 'Hena is right, I can feel that his energy is very unpredictable. It should be impossible for him to aim it correctly.' He thought and relaxed back a bit.
"Ahhhh!!!!" The giant Lizard stamped on the hard ground and jumped forward towards Jack.
It didn't turn red as it underestimated Jack.
Jack saw the huge monster coming his way with its mouth open, he could tell that the Lizard wanted to finish him with a single attack.
However, he was not scared even a bit. There was even a confident smile on his face, it was as if he had everything under his control from the start.
And the reason for his confidence was the fact that he even managed to injure Nicole, The Queen of Death with his energy. So this Lizard must not be too hard for him to defeat.
"Get away," Jack said calmly and looked at the green panel in front of him, without giving it any thought and believing in his cheat, he released the yellow energy from his hand.
Wooosh!!
A huge air pressure descended in the ring creating a deathly atmosphere just as the yellow energy was released free from his hand.
The Lizard that was jumping towards Jack suddenly widened its eyes in terror It could feel death coming towards it.
Rawrr!!
It let out a loud roar seeing the yellow energy and its scales quickly started turning red. It was changing its form, mid-flight.
"The lizard is changing! This guy will be defeated now."
"There is no way that he would be able to stand even a minute in front of the Mutated Lizard's red form!"
The crowd started murmuring and guessed that Jack would soon be defeated by the giant Lizard.
However Hena on the other hand had her eyes wide in surprise. 'Impossible!' She exclaimed internally as she saw the yellow energy's route.
Even the black hooded guy's body tensed up and even goosebumps rose on his body. He even took a step back and gulped his saliva in terror.
"This guy! He is not so simple..." The black hooded guy murmured under his breath.
Boom!!!
A loud sound resounded in the ring and the atmosphere suddenly turned red.
A sanguine mist covered the whole place, blocking visibility.
