Chapter 125 - Unwinnable Fight
30 minutes later, arena E2...
"Hey, Jayden, what took you so long? The match is about to start!" Alex said to Jayden who just entered the stands above and took her seat.
"Hehe, sorry, that bathroom break took a little longer than I expected," Jayden replied back with a nervous chuckle, looking at the arena below her where Moby and Damian stood, ready to fight.
"I am still really worried about the fight… I really hope Moby will be okay…" Jayden added, turning more serious.
"I agree… I really hope he had a plan in mind or knew what he was getting himself into… Fighting someone so much stronger than him is so reckless… I have no idea how he plans to win but I will be cheering for him all the way!" Abby said with clear worry in her voice.
"Yes, I agree…" Jayden said, putting her hand on her heart, looking down at Moby who was stretching before his fight.
'Hmph! Good! She made it back in time for the fight! Now she will see her boyfriend lose and find out that he is a bad influence on her! What kind of idiot accepts a challenge from someone who has almost 8000 power levels higher than them! He will have to learn his lesson the hard way!' Mason thought, just about ready to declare the start of the match.
Damian and Moby stood face to face, staring daggers at each other with a fearless smirk that made Damian laugh at how confident Moby looked.
Damian wore a standard set of light armour that lacked a weapon as he did not need one for the type of ability he was using.
Moby on the other hand wore the exact same set of armour that he wore last time. However, instead of a shield he now had his trusty katana back, his preferred weapon of choice.
"Listen here all you people! I will win and give you your money back! This arrogant prick doesn't stand a chance!" Damian announced to the crowd, putting his hands up in the air like he was already declaring victory, making them cheer for him enthusiastically.
"Put on a good show! Don't make it too boring!"
"Teach him a lesson! I want my money back!"
"I bet extra money on you! You better win! Hahaha!"
"Good luck new kid! You're really gonna need it!"
"You are truly my saviour son! Go beat his ass and boost the honour of the family!" Damian's dad screamed from the crowd, making his son look back at him with a confident yet almost ominous smile.
Moby did not care for all the cheers that praised Damian while insulting him as he already knew that the outcome of the match had already been decided before it even started, it was only a matter of time.
So, Moby just confidently stood in his place with a certain yet slightly heavy smile on his face, waiting for the match to start.
"Attention everyone! The match is about to start! Since I had already explained the rules of the fight during the prior match so I will not be repeating myself! The unexpected match between Moby Kane and Damian Nier will be taking place any second now so be prepared! Now, If both fighters are ready, I will count you in!" Mason announced, looking at Moby and Damian who just simply nodded back.
"So, without further ado! I will count you in!" Mason said, making the crowd lean forward in their seat in anticipation.
"5,"
"4,"
"3,"
"2,"
"1,"
"Match start!" Mason screamed, announcing the start of the match before taking a seat back in his chair.
As soon as the start of the match was announced, Damian did not hesitate to reveal his ability and take the offensive.
Out of his back grew 6 sharp spider-like legs made out of red energy as he began to move them around like they were alive and like they were an extension of his own body.
His ability was called, "Insectus". It allowed the user to manipulate many sharp insect-like limbs to attack and maneuver around as the limbs were more like an extension of his own body. The number of maximum limbs depended completely on the ability level. And, since Damian's ability was only at a level 7, he was only able to use and manipulate 6 limbs which was still very strong.
At his level, the insect-like mana limbs only had a maximum range of around 2.5 meters. However, they were very strong, fast and durable which more than made up for it.
Damian dashed straight at Moby, boosting himself with his limbs with incredible speed, attacking him with all 6 limbs forcing Moby to immediately activate his "Eyes of Sin" in order to dodge.
"That move again! It was very impressive the first time I saw it but, it won't be as effective on me!" Damian said with a smile, dashing towards Moby who had a serious look on his face.
Damian who looked like he was having too much fun unleashed a barrage of attacks at Moby who was forced to block them with his sword or dodge. However, despite his efforts, a few attacks still hit him as Damian was simply too fast for him to react to, even with his eyes of sin, making him slightly bloodied and battered. The energy drain of his eyes of sin was immense and if he wanted to use any other skill it would lower its duration. However, to win, he had to use everything in his arsenal and try his best to end it quickly.
As a fatal looking attack swooped down towards Moby's chest, it was suddenly blocked by some mysterious, almost mystical looking purple energy, making Damian almost instinctively back away.
Then, out of Moby's back emerged 6 insect-like limbs that were made out of the exact same energy that he used to block Damian's attack which made the crowd gasp in astonishment.
"Is that his true ability?! Does he have the same one as Damian? Was he holding back in his fight with Leon!?"
"What kind of ability is that!? I think it might be slightly different!"
"That purple mystical energy��� Is that a newly discovered ability!? First, it was the eyes now this as well! Who the hell is this kid!?"
'This kid keeps impressing me more and more, I might have to ask him more about that unique ability of his. But, sadly, such a technique changes nothing. The power level difference is still too much for him to win,' Mason inwardly thought.
In reality, what Moby did was not an ability at all. Moby's control over his pure demon energy had grown to such an extent that he was now able to almost perfectly mimic Damian's "Insectus" ability. With it, he planned to counter Damian's tentacles in order to go in for a closer range approach as Damian was completely weaponless.
"Hahaha! Do you think mimicking my ability would do you any good!? Don't make me laugh!" Damian screamed, rushing towards Moby, thrusting his insect limbs towards him only to be blocked by Moby's pure demon energy that began to form cracks.
This gave Moby a massive opportunity to strike.
He used the momentary clash to demon flash into an extremely close range of Damian, making him unable to bring his limbs back in time to block as they were tangled up in Moby's pure demon energy.
"Finally got you! Now get fucked you arrogant bitch!" Moby screamed, infusing his sword with pure demon energy, slashing straight at Damian's chest with all of his strength, clenching his teeth with a smile on his face, making the entire crowd go wide-eyed as what happened was something they did not at all expect.
"Haha! I don't think so!" Damian screamed with a devilish laugh as Moby felt his attack being suddenly and abruptly stopped by 2 daggers that Damian pulled out when Moby was not paying attention, making Moby's face turn into complete anger and disappointment.
Damian then lifted and pushed up with his 2 daggers, startling Moby and putting him off balance, revealing his chest that he proceeded to slash with both of his daggers, making deep wounds before kicking Moby away with incredible force towards the arena walls, causing him to grunt in pain and cough up a mouthful of blood.
The sudden and abrupt turn around of the situation made the crowd laugh and cheer with amusement while Jayden, Alex, and Abby gasped and had extremely worried faces in the stands above.
"So! After talking so big that's all you've got! You disappoint me! This is even easier than I anticipated! I almost feel bad! Hahahah! This is going to so much fun!" Damian said with an amused laugh, looking straight at the dust and pile of rubble that showed Moby's piercing purple glowing eyes, the dust hiding the wide devilish smile on his face.
