A crowd erupted into applause as explosions rang out across a crowded stadium. Two men in ultra-force were now fighting each other as if their lives depend on it.
Blow for blow, kick for kick, no attack went unnoticed as the two hunters tried to counter each other. Luther looked at this scene in awe, coming to this so-called family meeting was the best thing he had chosen to do in a long time.
"STONE CAGE!" Yelled one of the Hunters as he slammed his hands against the ground, dust slowly lifted off the ground as dozens of stone cylinders wrapped around the other Hunter.
"Luke, I can't believe you use an enchantment. This was supposed to be a mock battle." Said the hunter as he looked at his opponent Luke.
"Come on Alex, you've been gathering mana behind your back since the beginning of the match." Said Luke as he jumped out of the way of Alex's counterattack. The stone pillar shattered upon contact with Alex's skin, causing smoke to cover his body.
Luke was someone Alex would call a friend or a rival, since they were young they fought each other without holding back. Their parents used to fight each other thinking their son was getting bullied by the other, nonetheless, their friendship was no weaker than no other.
The smoke dissipated revealing a bronze statue, Luke's mouth twitched as he relaxed.
"I thought I had killed you." Said Luke as he put his hand on the stone arena.
"Hahaha, you kill me? What timeline do you think you live in?" Said Alex as he dashed at Luke.
Stone gloves cover Luke's hands as he jumped back and cover his face.
*BANG*
*BANG*
*BANG*
*BANG*
Four punches from Alex sent Luke sliding back to the edge of the arena as he tries to stop himself from falling out of bounds. Alex quickly followed up his barrage of punches with a kick to the chest, which he didn't expect Luke was planning this from the beginning.
Stones fell from Luke's hands in an instant as he quickly grabbed Alex's leg, releasing he missed up Alex tried to pull his leg back but to no avail, he was stuck.
"It's over!" Yelled Luke as he twisted his body and threw Alex's leg over his shoulder. Alex wanted to try and see if he punched Luke in the back would he drop his leg but at this position, it would do more harm than good.
Alex finally gave up and went with the flow as he was tossed in the air. Luke jumped behind Alex and grabbed his collar as he twisted in the air. A small funnel appeared where the two hunters were fighting as one of them was launched against the ground.
The crowd went silent as their looked at the beaten-up figure and slowly picked themselves off the ground.
Alex who was caught by Luke was now peacefully floating down to the arena as Luke looked at him in shock.
"You still had a trick up your sleeve…" said Luke as he wiped the blood off his nose. They're a few things that could hurt someone In the ultra-force rank and someone on the same rank or higher was one of them. Not usually this wouldn't be a problem but they swore to the general that they wouldn't use their full power, he didn't want any of the spectators to get hurt.
"I told you once and I will tell you again, brains over brawn." Said Alex as a green aura overtook him and Luke.
"WITH THAT THE MATCH IS OVER! WINNER ALEX!" Yelled a referee as he escorted the two injured hunters off the arena.
"They got better…" said an old man as he reach his hand out for a cup. The table near him suddenly shake and it slowly pulled toward him. "I was scared they would've near reach their threshold."
"I'm glad they pleased you, grandfather." Said a man covered in shadow appeared behind the old man.
"Raise your head, Lucan, I don't want my brother to see you like this."
"The Family head?" Asked the man in shock as he looked around the room in confusion.
"Yes, we made a little deal on an incoming battle…" The old man's eyes suddenly turned pitch black as the room around him crack. Vibration could be felt in the air as a huge mana pool formed above his head. As if someone stole the mana from their surroundings and left it dry, the mana was condensed into a small ball and shot in the air.
Without anyone in the crowd noticing an invisible field shield off the stadium.
Luther looked up at the sky in fear as he felt his connections to the clouds cut off. Sweat began to slowly drip from his forehead as he began looking around the arena.
"Did that when unnoticed?" Luther's mouth dried as he tried to understand what just happened.
People in the crowd began to discuss among them and laugh as they went along it as of nothing had happened.
The referee ran back to the stage and he quickly began speaking, " The general brother, Lycan the life touch just bless us with his immortal field!" Scream the referee as stretched his hands out.
The crowd once again erupted into chaos as they looked around in shock, they didn't expect to be under the immortal spell. Many began to sweat as they pray they didn't have to fight in the incoming battle.
"DAMN, this technique is such a hassle, I could heal my grandkid even though they were laying right in front of me on death's door." Lycan let out a sigh of sympathy as he flops down back into his chair.
"Don't worry grandfather I'm sure that bastard will get what's coming to him. I will make sure of that." Said Lucan as he clinch his fist.
*Achoo*
Luther sneezed as he watch a man in green and red amour bring a board full of names to the middle of the arena.
"Isn't that my name?" Luther asked himself as he scratch the back of his head.
