The arena fell into a hushed silence as Miller, battered and bruised, slowly rose from the ground. His eyes burned with a newfound determination, a flicker of anger igniting within him. The crowd, still in awe of Ethan's display of power, could hardly believe what they were about to witness.
Ethan, his confidence unyielding, watched Miller with a mix of curiosity and caution. He had not anticipated this sudden resurgence of strength from his opponent. The air crackled with tension as Miller's muscles tensed, his body radiating a raw, primal energy.
"It's time for me to fight" Miller said with a smile after he had punched Ethan very hard to the stomach, which sent Ethan flying backwards to the other end of the arena.
With another thunderous roar, Miller charged at Ethan, his speed surpassing anything he had previously displayed. His fists became a blur, each strike propelled by a force born from a deep well of anger and frustration. His strength was now far greater than it was before and all the viewers could feel it. Ethan, caught off guard by the sudden assault, instinctively conjured gravitational barriers to shield himself.
But Miller was relentless. His blows rained down upon Ethan's defenses, each strike testing the limits of the mutant's control over gravity. The ground shook with the impact of their clashes, the audience held captive by the sheer ferocity of Miller's assault. It was as if a beast had been unleashed, an unstoppable force determined to topple its adversary.
Ethan fought back, utilizing his gravity manipulation to create gravitational disturbances around Miller. The very fabric of space distorted, attempting to slow his opponent's onslaught. Yet, Miller's rage and new found strength due to his leveling up seemed to shield him from the effects, his determination driving him forward.
To the viewers, Miller now looked like a very angry Man who was ready to kill his opponent with everything he had.
Aurora Holmes, who was watching the match, was truly amazed by what she was witnessing.
"He just got stronger within Minutes, he is really the long Awaited Saviour" Edmund said inside their Head to James. This made James smile.
Back to the match, In a display of superhuman agility, Miller dodged Ethan's attempts to subdue him. His reflexes were honed to perfection, his senses heightened to an extraordinary degree. He anticipated Ethan's movements before they even occurred, evading gravitational traps and barriers with ease.
(NOTE: ALTHOUGH, MILLER DID NOT NOTICE THIS NOW, HE WOULD NOTICE IT LATER, THE REASON WHY MILLER BECAME SO SUDDENLY SKILLED AND KNOWLEDGE IN FIGHTING WAS BECAUSE OF HIS NEW SKILL HE ACQUIRED; FERAL INSTINCTS).
With a fierce growl, Miller unleashed a series of devastating blows, aiming for Ethan's vulnerable points. His fists struck with precision and brute force, each impact sending shockwaves through the arena. Ethan, caught off balance by the relentless assault, felt his strength waver.
As the battle raged on, Miller's anger only grew. It fueled his every movement, pushing him beyond his limits. He could taste victory within his grasp, and nothing would stand in his way. With a burst of speed, he closed the distance between him and Ethan, delivering a bone-crushing blow to the mutant's abdomen.
Ethan's body convulsed with pain as he crumpled to the ground, gasping for breath. His control over gravity faltered, the once unstoppable force now weakened and vulnerable. The crowd watched in stunned silence, their disbelief mirrored in their eyes. Miller had turned the tide of the battle, rising from the depths of near defeat to overpower his formidable adversary.
Driven by a surge of adrenaline, Miller continued his onslaught. Blow after blow, strike after strike, he pummeled Ethan mercilessly. The mutant's attempts to defend himself were feeble, his body unable to withstand the relentless assault. Each impact reverberated through the arena, a testament to Miller's raw power.

"It's okay Miller, you have already defeated him, no need to continue, you have already gained the experience point and you are now at level 3?". The System shouted at Miller.
Miller did not stop immediately, But as Moller continued raining down his fury upon Ethan, a subtle shift occurred within him. The anger that had fueled his rampage began to fade, replaced by a growing sense of unease. The Throsk'Bok instincts, honed over countless battles, whispered a warning in the back of his mind.
In a moment of respite, Ethan seized the opportunity to regain his composure. Bloodied and battered, he staggered to his feet, his gaze fixed on Miller. With a faint smile, he whispered, "Your anger blinds you, Miller. It weakens you."
Ethan, tapping into the depths of his power, summoned a massive gravitational force, tearing the very fabric of the arena. The ground trembled beneath them, threatening to swallow everything in its path. Miller's eyes widened in realization, his anger momentarily replaced by a flicker of fear.
Before Miller could react, he found himself ensnared in an inescapable gravitational field. The weight of the universe bore down upon him, sapping his strength and rendering him powerless. He struggled against the invisible shackles, his muscles straining against the immense force.
Ethan approached Miller, his steps heavy with exhaustion but filled with determination. He regarded his adversary with a mixture of pity and respect. "You fought with great strength, Miller," he said, his voice tinged with a hint of regret. "But anger alone is not enough."
With a final surge of power, Ethan released the gravitational hold on Miller, allowing him to crumple to the ground. The Throsk'Bok lay there, broken and looked defeated, his body and spirit shattered. The audience watched in awe and disbelief, their applause tinged with a newfound admiration for both combatants.
The battle had taken its toll on both Ethan and Miller, leaving them battered and bruised, their bodies a testament to the ferocity of their clash. As the crowd's cheers echoed through the arena, the two adversaries locked eyes one final time. In that silent moment, a mutual respect formed, forged through the crucible of combat.
[THE USER HAS BEEN CRITICALLY HIT]
[HP: 1450/4000]
The weight of gravity upon Miller this time was heavier than before. But Miller's strength was higher and with more anger Miller forced himself off the floor.
Ethan and the entire crowd was shocked.
BANG!
Miller gave Ethan a very hard and final blow to the abdomen, which almost broke his back.
Ethan had fallen on the floor. Miller looked at him on the floor. Ethan has been defeated and badly injured. The only way to heal him was true a Mutant with such healing capabilities. His body was damaged beyond repair. His body structure had completely changed from the punch.
Another green words appeared on Miller's retina. They came from the system. Those words gave him the chills:
[NEW QUEST RECEIVED]
[KILL ETHAN SMITH]
[QUEST REWARD]
[AN INSTANT LEVEL UP]
