Alan is sitting cross legged in a training room, the temperature of it reaches 100 degrees celsius, flames are leaving his mouth and swords materialised out of nothingness took the hot temperature in them.
The swords all in different forms and length got the fire affinity, heating up the room even more as blue fire shoots out of Alan and hitting the swords.
The azure blue fire grabbed the blades of every sword, pulling it towards Alans face, who opens his eyes and is seeing a blue spear being created out of all the swords.
'The Aether art is pretty hard to level up however today seems to be a good day as this blue spear seemed to gain metals in it slowly condensing'
The blue spear is shining in a brilliant light moreover as the azure blue fire enters his body going even further in his body reaching his soul.
"Thanks Casein for such a great weapon to use"
Another azure blue fire appeared, catching the connection and binding it to his soul before disappearing again.
"....."
Casein watches everything with a displeased expression on his face, he watches Alans soul fire, of blood red hue, flickering with anxiety and frustration.
Casein is watching how Alan swings the spear around, practicing the phoenix art while also summoning more swords and spears, practicing his Aether Art too.
"He really fears the uncertain future a bit to much"
Casein mumbled as he spreads his influence over to the arena seeing Rica winning her fight albeit barely.
Casein jumps out of the soul domain and emerges next to Alan shocking him quite a bit, He observes Alans condition before opening his mouth.
"The fight between Rica and Lu Gao has ended a second ago with Ricas victory."
Alan is looking at him confused not knowing what to say, as his vertical blood red disappeared, he stored the weapons in his stigma except the spear.
"Casein what am I doing with this weapon?"
He showed him the blue spear shining like a glow stick, denying to enter his stigma, Casein only sighed seeing that.
"Think about it being stored away somewhere deep in you"
"Deep in... me?"
Alan is looking at Casein like he caught a pedo doing his deed, He still tried it and the spear vanished so fast that Alan couldn't even react to it.
"Wha-"
"Don't think about it and put all your attention on your fight"
Alan is confused, why shouldn't he think about it when it is a spear he created that even has an ego in it, He let it go because of Caseins expression that looked serious.
"Casein do you know what kind of affinity Dai Jong has?"
Alan didn't get an answer as Casein vanished to wherever he goes everytime, He is opening the door of the training room and a silent thud could be heard.
"hmm?"
Alan activated out of instinct his phoenix eyes, seeing a shadowy figure behind the door, he put more power in his eyes, piercing through the shadows hiding... her?!
'What the hell is she doing here?!'
Alan saw the girl later known as the Death reaper or the Purple Death or the Necromancer of the living.
She wasn't strong and only had a talent of A+ Rank but her ability, gift and skills creáted such a great synergy that she could control undead of the S Rank with ease, but that wasn't why she gained these nicknames.
she was one of the greater villains he wrote in the Novel, as she had a Demon of SSS Rank on her side in full control under her, who got killed by a slash from the sky.
But now she is only a small girl without an ounce of the power of Death, trembling under Alans stare at her.
"Who send you to me?"
Alan asked and the girl fainted without giving him an answer.
'I wonder who had that kind of power to cut an SSS- Rank Demon in two with such ease'
Alan ignored her laying there and is going to the stage opening.
Dai Jong already on the stage waited for her to return and give her information about her opponent however she was nowhere to be seen, as Alan appeared at the opening and jumped on the stage.
"Welcome back to the fourth fight today, which would be a duel between Light and Fire!"
the commentator in addition being the announcer too, said that with his eyes glued on the two on the stage observing each other.
"In the right side we have The light wielder, the holy spear wielder, the spear of hope Dai jong!"
"WHOOAAA!"
the crowd mostly from Lojodon and near the city of the Hunter AC Failinas cheered as they knew what the holy spear did in the past.
"In the left side we have the underdog, the one carrying in him the phoenix Bloodline, the successor of the perished phoenixes Alan Burner!"
"WHOOOAAA!!"
The crowd cheered so loud that even the markets outside heard it, Who wouldn't after seeing Alans might before and how he came out victorious despite everyone saying it he can't do it.
Elena Isa is again prepared to interfere, she already feels bloodlust to extreme to be his fighting spirit from Dai Jong.
"Lets Begin, FIGHT!"
^Boom^
Dai Jong vanished and appeared next to Alan thrusting the holy spear, that appeared out of holy light in his hands, however surprising Dai Jong immensely is that Alan blocked it.
The holy spear in white color and golden lines on it, shooting up to the tip of the spear, which is fromed like a trident with a golden gem between all three blades and the shaft.
Alan felt the force behind the simple thrust he did, which mainly used the power of the holy spear, he observed it but find it for a holy weapon a simple design.
Dai Jong jumped back, flying in the sky as the spear started to glow even more and blinding most people.
Alan anticpated this and used Phoenix eyes to have a clear vision, and watches the holy spear releasing such pure holy energy, wrapping itself around Dai Jong and creating an armor of light.
"Alan use your Azure blue Fire or you will lose immediately without knowing it."
Casein advised with a tone of urgency in his voice, Alan instantly activated his Azure Blue fire and summoned two shields.
^BOOM^
The explosion spread far and wide enough for even Elena to question these inhumane speeds for E or D Ranks they all have.
Dai Jong appeared in the sky, floating like nothing happen however people knowing him for a while saw that he is annoyed as he vanished again.
^Boom^
The explosion is pretty silent as people finally could see a result between their clash, a stalemate, Dai Jong pierced Alan his stomach while Alans sword is almost through his entire neck.
Both aren't looking really terrified that they would die from such a wound, they mainly stared at each other furthermore trying to inflict some kind of damage in their body, Alan with his blood red fire and Dai Jong with his holy energy.
Edward watching that with his Dragon eyes saw that no one had the upperhand moreover is that a useless struggle by both of them as they waste a lot of energy.
"What is this idiot doing?"
Edward thought of him highly as he is next to Kim Yong the only Phoenix he knows, Kim Yong instilled in him the respect of the Phoenix race, however seeing Alan doing such dumb things hurt him.
"Edward"
"Yeah?"
"He doesn't only tries to fight it but also tries to absorb the holy light in his fire and weapons to get a clue in his art"
Kim Yong explained with his eyes closed and sweating a bit, Edward now is seeing how the flames slowly consume a bit power so that Dai Jong doesn't feels it.
"but if he does that doesn't it mean he will lose if it fails?"
"Yup"
Kim Yong replied Edward, Edward watches that with his attention solely on that fight, forgetting to train his spear art and Life Energy even more.
'fuck does it hurt!'
Alan cursed in his mind as he felt the holy energy running amok in his body, he could end the fight but he wants to reach the next stage of his Aether art furthermore did Casein said that if he does this he could unlock a new fire, helping him understand the phoenix art more.
"you almost reached the threshold to unlock a new move of the Aether Art"
Casein said that with a smile on his face, whilst Alan is currently creating a weapon out of it, and enhance most his weapons in the stigma with the holy energy.
He felt it that he is close to it as suddenly someone sucks the holy energy from the spear like a black hole to it, causing Dai Jong to realise what he did.
'This bastard absorbed the holy energy!'
Dai Jong was enraged and pulled his spear out as well as activating the spears inherent art.
[Spear of Heavenly retribution]
The spear glowed as the first move of the art [Heavenly punishment] entered his mind and he performed it with an unknown proficiency to him.
Alan feeling the great power of it, decided to use the first move of the Phoenix art to counter it.
[Flower of fire]
Its name doesn't sound that strong however the Phoenixes laid much worth on that move as it is simple yet beautiful at the same time.
The thrust of the spear that illuminated the whole stage in an holy light and the five thrusts leading to slashes to the sides forming a flower of beautiful red flames, covering ten metres around Alan.
The flower of flames looks like the Higanbana(Pink spider lily) and charged towards the cross of holiness whilst the cross of holiness charges towards the Higanbana too.
^BOOOM^
The collision teared the first barrier into pieces, however through the experience from before they knew how strong they are and already activated the second barrier.
The explosion caused the whole stadium to quake, the blood red flames and holy golden hue energy fought to see who gets the upperhand, in the center of it was such a blinding light that the two participants vanished.
"What is happening right now?! This explosion is strong enough to cause a small earthquake and such a blinding light that the particpants seemingly vanished!"
The commentator is saying with an excited voice, knowing that they are safe from such an explosion of energy.
The crowd all knew that this is one of the strongest attacks they had seen until now despite that it wasn't impressive enough like the Lightning gods punishment to get them so excited.
The Light and flame died out, showing the result of the clash... and what they are seeing is terrifying to say the least, Dai Jong his whole arm is literally charcoal furthermore is blood seeping out of every orifice on his body... but that was the least horrifying one.
Alan his whole stomach is gone, you could see the cut off organs slowly falling out from above and he watches Dai Jong in a calm manner.
"Was that all the Holy spear can muster?"
Unbelievable for everyone Alan his body lit up in flames and dissipated, as Alan stands facing Dai Jong with his sword at his throat, that all while being unharmed!
Dai Jong couldn't accept his defeat, why was he defeated this fast when he needed so long for that damn Orc?
The spear in his hand vibrated for warning him about his condition turning terrible, he ignored it and used [Spear of Heavenly retribution] its skill.
[Ego Weapon skill: Armor of Angels has been activated]
Alan simply released his Either and created an Armor replicate of Lu Gaos drake armor, he unleashed his wings of fire soaring high up in the sky.
The armor of Angels is a simple thin armor out of white cloth and three pair of wings on his back, It looked beautiful, mesmerizing and majestic... if the being inside the armor would look okay atleast and not covered in injuries as well as coughing blood moreover not standing infront of thousand of different kind of weapons pointed at him.
Dai Jong his body screamed to rest, his bones creaked and cracked yet he still continued to challenge Alan.
"I will win"
his whisper reached Alans ear and he stared at him with respect, if he relied more on his speed Alan would have lost miserable or found another way to defeat him with him almost on deaths door.
Alan achieved the third Move or better to say level in his art, that makes him possible to easily materialize weapons that he knows how they are built as well as materialize and create armor now.
he created the Drake Armor out of Caseins shared memory as casein observed through a small flame the entire fight between Rica and Lu Gao, Alan thought that armor would be pretty powerful and it is.
"Sorry Dai Jong but you will lose"
Alan commanded his weapons to attack him, all of them are flying at breakneck speed at Dai Jong, Alan said that while Dai Jong his vision got covered by the weapons.
[Heavenly deviation]
Dai Jong used all his power for that move to block the barrage of the weapons and hopefully to hit Alan..
^Booom^
Holy Light illuminated the sky as all weapons were either destroyed or thrown back at Alan, as the force the weapons created was absorbed and thrown back at Alan with two times their power.
^BOOM^
All of that hit Alan, Dai Jong is hoping it did any damage to Alan... However Alan walked out of it unscathed as azure blue flames shoot at Dai Jong at an speed even he can't perceive.
^Bang^
Dai Jong is knocked out and Alan his eye color changed from navy blue to brown, Alan gasps for air as this attack almost killed him and only regained now his senses realising he has won.
"The winner of this duel is the Underdog Alan Burner with a domineering and majestic perfomance, showing the difference between him and Dai Jong!!"
The crowd cheered, the people outside cheered, everyone across the human domain cheered at the underdogs overwhelming win.
Casein in a golden fire, thanks the blue spear facing him as it swings up and down replicating a nod and disappears.
'What happened?!'
Alan is celebrated as a hero for all the underdogs with his dominating victory... however their hero is currently beyond all the seven seas confused.
