I don't know what's pushing me to get up and fight again. My head felt it already cracked long ago. As a First Stage of Focus Practitioner, using Natural Energy this many times should be impossible. Well, judging from the audience's reaction: it looked like they have never seen something this before.
Ah… just thinking makes me want to puke. Is the sun already up? Why am I keep standing up?! I can't even punch straight. If I want to, I just used Natural Energy to regain my strength even if a little. But, every time I used it, the more my mind is breaking.
Am I being pushed by the pressure from what I have done? Am I this scared of the Devils that I stand up even when I'm breaking? Or is it for someone else that I'm doing this? For Master? Who change me and who I trust. I too see it ridiculous since even I don't really know Master. He tried to kill me when we first met after asking just a few questions. Tortured me when he knew I couldn't die. But, I think I blame him because I've done what I can't since I was alive. I became fearless. Maybe I'm very grateful to him to the point that I'm willing to follow his every words. I took the risk of accepting him as my master.
Who wouldn't want a God as a master? That's what I thought but the real reason must be that I trust him…?
Or am I doing this for my mother? Who supported me till the end. Or Dana? Or is it for me?
Every man lives for himself|
Why am I thinking this?! Just stand up! Just fight! Just fight! Just fight! Just fight! Just fight! Just fight!
…
Blood came out of Rin's nose as he formed his stance like a boxer and weakly said, "I'm still not losing-"
Tom, the bodyguard, was panting with fury in his eyes. This is a great shame! He is proud and confident that he is one of the strongest among the Fourth Stage of Focus Practitioners and yet, he felt like losing to this kid who's just at the First Stage of Focus and on top of that, this kid just fought Paul, a Second Stage of Focus Practitioner! His pride wouldn't let him lay on the ground and accept defeat. In fact, he's been beating this kid for a while now. He even heard bones cracking but why is he still standing? But, Tom was getting tired. He didn't even took that many solid hits from Rin yet he looked like he's beaten up!
Mr. Tong didn't sleep and watched a fight between a zombie and a brawler. His rage dissipated and only fear and confusion remained. However, he still couldn't let his face take a dirt!
"Everyone is tired already, finish the fight quickly!", Mr. Tong glared at Tom and decided that he would fire this bodyguard of his for being incapable.
He said his words like he's referring to both the fighters and not taking sides but with his glare, Tom knew what Mr. Tong meant.
"Tsk! I don't want to do this but…", Tom spoke while his body was increasing in mass. His whole body was trembling and nerves popped out everywhere, "Argh!!", he roared when his body stopped increasing in size. His was now bigger than himself before by a few heads taller.
But before Tom could use his skill of his and rushed to Rin, with intent to kill, "We surrender!" someone shouted and stopped Tom in his tracks and for some unknown reason, he plopped onto the ground.
Everybody who had not slept even a wink looked around with energy, their blood was still boiling and the fight is at climax, how could they sleep?
However, they didn't see anyone who shouted until someone with a huge voice said, "Up there.", and then many follow and saw a man sitting on top of the cage wall.
Mister Yita's eyes widened, "I thought he's not here.", and then looked at Mr. Tong's reaction afraid that there would be conflict since Rin's master arrive.
Mr. Tong ignored Elihim who has a smile and said in the speaker, "Continue the fight.", he thought that Tom was just resting and he then looked at Elihim, "You are not valid to have a say in this fight."
"Am I?", Elihim looked below and saw Rin.
Rin was no longer thinking properly, he let his instinct do the work and fight. He was not aware of his surroundings, he's worse than drunk right now. This is not surprising since avoided "dying" with all his might. This took a huge toll in his mentality. But when he saw Tom, lying on the ground, he raised his fist and said, "I… won. Next challenger… please..", with his head lowered. The bright light, showed his figure and placed everyone in awe.
Even Elihim was surprised with this. He laughed out loud, "Hahahah! Rin! You haven't won yet but you sure didn't lose either!", he jumped down and when he landed, he made no sound and lightly walked like he just denied the law of physics like it was normal.
Mr. Tong who was caught unprepared by Rin's exclamation, his eyes suddenly widened when he saw Elihim do that. His legs trembled, 'Even the other three Grandmasters couldn't do that.'
The people on the audience who were weak didn't know how incredible is that but the few people like Mister Yita could only gulp.
When Elihim was near Rin, he said, "The sun was already up. Let's go.", he carried the bloodied Rin out to the stadium without anyone stopping them. Mr. Tong could only grit his teeth.
