BXBX NOVEL Chapter 127 The next few matches
When Ronan walked back to his team from the destroyed arena , he looked at grandmother Luna’s smile and smiled back .
In reality he would have loved the fight against Mad-Dog who had the guts to face him head on , however the other party decided to take the trash talk a bit too far and insulted his grandmother.
When Luna heard the insults she felt like going up to the stage and teaching the young one a lesson herself , as she knew for a fact that it Augustus ever heard a whisper about this , the kid would be buried six feet under the next day.
However she did not expect Ronan to react so violently to the provocation as the boy literally brought the storm to Mad-Dog and beat an apology out of him.
Team Ronan were shocked to see that Ronan was unscratched after taking such strong explosions as although they did not pry how he did it , it was clear to them that he had some surreal defense technique to take such a blow head on and not be affected at all.
Their guess was not far off as one of the two rewards that vishvakarma gave Ronan as a bonus at the end of his 3 year stay was an A ranked defensive skill called ‘ absolute repel ‘..
The idea behind the move was to channelize electric currents in such a way that it ionised the air around the user creating an unstable sudden vaccum .
Most attacks need a medium of transmission , especially attacks like fire and wind who need a medium like air to propagate .
These attacks became useless when Ronan managed to activate his skill , as unless the opponent had achieved perfected elemental manipulation and could propagate an attack even via vaccum , only then could he be attacked.
Unlucky for Mad-Dog that he met an opponent like Ronan against whom his combat prowess was useless as he was defeated in convincing fashion.
However for those who did not understand the true nature of Rudra’s defense the act of him standing unharmed against explosions that shattered wind barriers and blew arenas apart , it meant that he was a beast beyond their capabilities and everyone was now completely wary of the Avalonian prince.
Every major sect had now flagged Ronan to be hiree priority number one as his talent spoke for himself .
Nobody had the balls to fight him after that brutal beatdown , Making day 3 end in an easy fashion for the second prince with him not facing any major troubles.
Unfortunately for Mad-Dog he was unable to compete in any other matches for the day and hence was effectively knocked out of the top 2 race.
There was no regret on his face however as he realised that his opponent was one who had genuine strength and deserved to be respected.
In his heart he had already planned on getting back to Ronan for a rematch after he found a way to get stronger.
It was this attitude of the Mad-Dog that was sure to carry him forward In life one day as this was the true spirit of a warrior.
*******
( On Percy’s end )
Percy too ended day 6 smoothly with 6 victories . He only needed to fight 4 matches while one opponent became injured and unable to continue and one forefitting due to the level difference being too massive to even give a shot.
Team Percy were satisfied with his performance as Augustus and Leif talked strategy about how to deal with the battle against the number one prodigy Zimo that was to come on day 4.
It was a must win for Percy now as him drawing this match would mean that he would have dropped 2 points which would be equivalent to one victory , reducing his chances of top 2 spot significantly.
Although he had reserved his strength very deeply , he was not 100% confident in defeating Zimo without using the Draco clan secret moves.
As the trio discussed strategy for the coming day , they were informed that Ronan ended all 6 matches of his with 6 victories as the trio rejoiced at the good news.
Percy knew that everything was progressing exactly how he pictured it to be with Ronan not dropping a single point to any opponent.
Percy had no question in his mind that Ronan would come out as undisputed number one in his pool , but for him to win in his pool he would need to win the coming match tommorow against the front runner of the group.
Not many betted on the Avalonian prince to win as the opponent was not only significantly higher levelled but also had a superior elemental affinity , but Percy was not deterred.
After his talk with Alexander the other day he had more faith in the blood flowing in his veins and the ability of the pure phoenix fire.
He knew that his flames were not ordinary either and if he could turn up the heat high enough he could even outshine the light from the light elemental user!
With this conviction in mind Percy carefully made his battle plan based on the advice given by Leif and Augustus as well as his own observation of his opponents skills and moves.
His plan was risky and if it failed then the match would most likely end in a defeat for Percy rather than a more likely draw as he would be betting big to win the match taking higher risks and create more openings to fail.
Nonetheless with Ronan as his final goal in mind , Percy decided to either go big or go home !
Looking towards the sky he said ” Dont worry brother , until we clash , nobody will stand in my path . I will win this fight with my Trump cards still intact , even if it means that I would have to surpass my own limits!
The only one worthy of seeing my full power shall be you! ” .
