Chapter 240 33
Sintaro wears a gauntlet as his weapon, while Prince Ozkar uses a lance. They moved simultaneously and clashed in the middle of the battle arena. Sintaro's gauntlet-covered fist clashed with the tip of Prince Ozkar's lance.
Boooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmm!
The impact of their clash of attacks was tremendous. Most of the battle arena floor shattered, and the barrier shook violently.
Sintaro and Prince Ozkar didn't seem to hold back in this fight. Their first clash ended in a draw after both were knocked back three Steps. But Sintaro and Prince Ozkar don't seem to want to give their opponents a chance to catch a breath. The two of them quickly launched their next attack.
"You have a little power. No wonder you act arrogant." Sintaro was a bit surprised by Prince Ozkar's strength. It didn't scare him but made his fighting intent even more burning and his desire to beat Prince Ozkar even greater.
Sintaro had such thoughts after seeing Kyouka had returned to the edge of the battle arena and watched his match. He had to show his strength and impress Kyouka.
"You talk too much." Prince Ozkar had no intention of chatting with Sintaro. He just wanted to make Sintaro's situation as pathetic as Princess Evelyn's and show it to other heroes and the people of the human academy.
Sintaro frowned after hearing Prince Ozkar's cold words. He felt angry with Prince Ozkar's attitude. Then Sintaro raised his hand, and a tremendous pressure suddenly fell.
[Mountain Pressure]
The entire floor of the battle arena suddenly cracked from an invisible force.
"Ugh!" Prince Ozkar felt his body getting heavier many times over. He tried to resist that pressure, but he was forced to kneel. Prince Ozkar didn't think that Sintaro had such troublesome abilities.
The power that suppresses Prince Ozkar comes from Sintaro's innate ability as a Hero, 'Gravity King'. This ability can create a gravitational domain that makes the enemy several times heavier but does not affect the user.
"Are you feeling overwhelmed just because of that kind of pressure? Then I feel disappointed. I'd better beat you right away than waste time on this fight." Sintaro mocked Prince Ozkar. Then he shot toward Prince Ozkar with astonishing speed.
Prince Ozkar gritted his teeth after seeing Sintaro coming to him and swinging his fist. But he couldn't do anything to deal with that attack because right now, his body felt difficult to move.
Booooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmm!
Prince Ozkar was hit hard and blown away. But Sintaro's attacks didn't stop there. While Prince Ozkar was still in the air, SIntaro chased after him and delivered another punch. Sintaro kept repeating his attacks and didn't give Prince Ozkar the slightest chance to breathe.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Sintaro looks like he is playing pinball by hitting Prince Ozkar here and there without letting him stop and setting his feet in the battle arena.
"Damn!" Prince Ozkar roared because he couldn't stand being humiliated like that. Prince Ozkar releases a dark brown aura from his body and blows Sintaro away.
Prince Ozkar's body felt a little lighter once he got used to the pressure. Moreover, Sintaro's suppression skill did not affect him after releasing the dark brown aura.
"Okay. now is the time to counterattack." After Prince Ozkar put his feet on the ground, he quickly chased after Sintaro. Prince Ozkar compressed the dark brown aura into his lance and thrust it into Sintaro's body in midair.
[Storm Breakers]
Prince Ozkar swung his lance once, and dozens of aura spearheads formed and shot toward Sintaro.
"Aarrgghhh!" Sintaro screamed in pain after dozens of wounds formed on his body instantly.
Sintaro's condition looks pathetic because his body is covered with bloody wounds from that attack. Prince Ozkar's attack wasn't over yet, and he intended to swing his lance again. But Sintaro suddenly disappeared from Prince Ozkar's sight just before his attack hit Sintaro.
"What!?" Prince Ozkar was shocked after he lost Sintaro's presence. He looked around but couldn't find Sintaro. When he looked up, Prince Ozkar was astonished that Sintaro had swung a giant hammer at him.
[Sky Crushing Hammer]
Boooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmm!
"Damn!" Prince Ozkar gritted his teeth, and blood flowed from the corners of his lips. Even though the attack didn't directly hit him, his internal organs were affected by that attack.
What Sintaro had done before was use his innate ability, 'Gravity King,' to make his body as light as a feather and drastically increase his speed. After that, he used that speed to jump and dodge Prince Ozkar's attack.
While in the air, Sintaro takes out a large hammer and reuses his innate ability to make his body and hammer heavier by many times. In addition, he also activates another innate ability, 'Superhuman Body', to restore his body's condition, which is full of wounds, and increase his strength.
After seeing Prince Ozkar frantically looking for him, Sintaro used the opportunity to attack him and swung his hammer straight above his head. Unfortunately, Prince Ozkar could still dodge his attacks by a hair's margin. But he couldn't avoid the internal injuries from the attack's impact.
In the seating area for the guests from the demi-human region, King Regulus nodded in satisfaction at his son's fight. Even though Sintaro seemed to be suppressing Prince Ozkar, he knew that his son had not used his full strength in that fight, and he never imagined Prince Ozkar would lose a one-on-one match against an enemy of his age.
"King Regulus, your son will lose this fight." King Redis smiled and said. He intended to compare his son's victory, Prince Viron, to Prince Ozkar. King Redis wanted to use that opportunity to destroy the prestige of the Beast Kingdom, which was called the strongest kingdom in the demi-human region.
Although the relations between the kingdoms in the demi-human region looked harmonious, that was only on the surface. In reality, the kingdoms in that area, especially the rulers, were always competing with each other to show which kingdom was the greatest in the demi-human region.
"The fight is still not over. How did you conclude that my son would lose?" King Regulus replied without turning his gaze to King Redis. Although his attitude was impolite, he didn't care about it.
"Hey...is that so? You seem to have a lot of confidence in your son's abilities. Although I know that he still hasn't used his beastification, it's possible that his opponent still has an undisclosed trump card. Isn't that so, King Regulus?" King Redis was trying to break King Regulus' confidence.
King Redis' words made King Regulus's face ugly as he couldn't deny that conjecture. He was indeed confident in his son's strength, but he didn't know the extent of the power of a hero who was summoned from another world.
King Regulus originally intended to use Princess Evelyn's condition as a trigger for his son's anger and make him break through the limits of his strength. King Regulus knew that Prince Ozkar's battle with the hero was a good supplement for his son's growth.
But if Prince Ozkar fought half-heartedly in that fight and only wanted to teach Sintaro a lesson, his strength would not progress and stagnate. Therefore King Regulus ignited his son's anger so that he fought with all his might in that battle to kill his enemy.
King Regulus was sure his son's strength would increase greatly and break through to the next level after this match was over. The angrier he got, the more potential he unleashed, King Regulus believed.
But King Regulus forgot that Prince Ozkar's opponent was a hero and might have a deadly trump card. He believed in his son's beastification power, but he couldn't be sure that Prince Ozkar would win if Sintaro kept his trump card up until now.
"We'll see who will win this battle. After all, isn't your son lucky to have a weak opponent in his match?" King Regulus sneered. He knew King Redis' intentions, so he didn't hesitate to mock him back.
"You!" King Redis couldn't help but feel annoyed when King Regulus brought it up. He had to admit that Prince Viron's opponent in his battle was indeed the weakest of the four other participants from the human academy. He wanted to retaliate, but King Auva cut him off first.
"Okay. You don't need to argue about it any further. We'd better hope that Prince Ozkar can win this battle since it concerns the good name of the Arcuz Grand Academy and the demi-human region." King Auva interceded with King Regulus and King Redis before arguing further.
King Redis snorted in response, while King Regulus kept quiet because he was too lazy to serve him. He is now focused on the battle arena to see how far his son can grow and hopes that his plan to pit his son and the heroes against each other is not in vain.
After the confrontation, Sintaro and Prince Ozkar kept their distance, and neither of them intended to attack first.
"How about it, handsome prince? Is this your only strength? If that's the case, you better admit defeat, or I'll make you unrecognizable to your family!" Sintaro laughed mockingly at Prince Ozkar. He intended to humiliate Prince Ozkar in front of many people.
"You don't need to act arrogant if you only have that much power. Don't let yourself admit defeat and embarrass yourself." Prince Ozkar sneered. He restrained himself from attacking Sintaro because he had something to do first.
"Haha… I can't possibly admit defeat to you. I will run naked around this academy three times if I do that!" Sintaro laughed and said confidently. He said in a loud voice, and all the guests who saw the fight could hear his words.
"Is that so? That's what I want to hear from you." Prince Ozkar smiled slyly because Sintaro had eaten the bait he gave. His plan was going smoothly, and he felt it was time he made Sintaro feel how his sister felt. Prince Ozkar suddenly disappeared from Sintaro's sight and reappeared behind him.
"What!?" This time, Sintaro was surprised that he had suddenly lost Prince Ozkar's presence from his sight.
"What are you looking for?" Prince Ozkar smirked and stabbed his lance into Sintaro's back. The attack was so fast that Sintaro couldn't dodge it and could only take it head-on with his body.
"Argh!" Sintaro gritted his teeth in pain. Luckily he had the innate ability of 'superhuman body'. Otherwise, his body would have been hollow from the attack.
"Did the attack hurt, Mr. hero? If so, you must feel the attack more painful because my sister suffered a much more painful wound than what you are feeling right now." Prince Ozkar said coldly and then swung his Lance again.
[Storm Breakers]
"Damn it! You forced me to do this! Don't blame me if you get killed!" Sintaro roared, and power overflowed from his body. From his palm emerged a small black ball the size of a tennis ball, and Sintaro threw it into the sky above Prince Ozkar.
[Black Hole]
The space above Prince Ozkar rippled, and not long after that, a dark hole formed. Its size continued to expand until it covered the entire sky above the battle arena.
"What's that!?" Prince Ozkar was shocked after seeing the black hole above him. Not only him, but everyone who saw the match felt the same way as him.
While Prince Ozkar was astonished at the strange sight, a tremendous suction force suddenly emerged from the center of the black hole and pulled him in.
"This is!" Prince Ozkar felt he would die if he were to be sucked into the black hole. He tried his best to keep himself stuck in the battle arena and fight the suction.
On the other hand, Sintaro had the same situation as Prince Ozkar. He was also trying to keep himself from being sucked in by the black hole. Even though the black hole was his skill, it was like a double-edged sword because it could harm him. Fortunately, Sintaro had made himself several times heavier with his innate skills and made his situation safer than Prince Ozkar.
"Give it up, handsome prince! Otherwise, you will die from being sucked in by that black hole!" Sintaro tries to persuade Prince Ozkar.
Sintaro wanted to beat Prince Ozkar to a pulp, but he couldn't possibly kill him. Moreover, he was currently in the demi-human region, and King Regulus was also present there. Sintaro would die if Prince Ozkar died, and the human academy probably wouldn't be able to protect him.
"Surrender? Do not dream! Do you think that you have won?" Prince Ozkar looked at Sintaro coldly. Then his body was shrouded in dark brown light until his figure was completely covered. Not long after, the light that enveloped Prince Ozkar disappeared and revealed his transformation.
Roooooaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrr!
