Standing in the middle of the arena, two figures looked at each other as sparks of energy started leaving their body.
Peter took a stance and grey energy started leaving his body.
The younger boy did the same as black energy started leaving his body and covered his gauntlets while the rest of it covered his body in a thin layer.
The silver energy from peter transformed into fine silk threads.
These threads started interlock in several patterns as his whole body was covered in the armor of the threads around him several threads floated in the air.
" The match begins."
At the announcement of the beginning of the match Gerald rushed at him at tremendous speed leaving the crowd astonished.
" As you can see ladies and gentlemen, our tailor Peter had awakened a Ether power related to clothes that he makes.
While the Gerald boy has body strengthening Ether although it may not be that rare of a ability. It is very formidable power in close range combat." as the commentator's words echoed in the arena The teenage boy was already near the man who was covered in layers of threads.
He tensed his muscles as he crouched down a little.
He aimed his fist at his opponent's stomach, before the punch could connect he shifted his weight and used his leg to aim at his face.
"Come on boy, don't make such rookie moves with me. At Least hide your energy when attacking." Peter blocked the attack with a shield made of thread.
His face was etched with a grin as he looked at the boy in front of him with amusement and greed. The boy saying nothing gained some distance.
The place he was standing before was now coovered with several straight pointy needle like threads that came out of the ground. "Tch, at least you have some good senses."
Peter clicked his tongue at the failed attempt to end the match in an instant. Not letting the boy rest he used his threads once again and spread them throughout the entire stage.
The thread soon turned invisible due to their ability to change color.
" I wonder what is Mr. Simmons planning? He has covered the entire field with his threads but their locations could be random and keep on changing at every second." As the crowd watched the match with intrigue and anticipation.
The young man just relaxed his muscles, puzzling his opponent and his next move shocked everyone. The royal family and the nobles watched as the boy's energy started entering back in his body and his body glowed a little.
'What do you think he is doing?' Luna asked as her words etched with curiosity. 'He is strengthening his body.'
His words confused the girl even more as she gazed out of the glass she saw with her eyes as the boy's aura that was mixed with a different energy that was ether now covered his internal organs. He was literally strengthening his body but from the inside.
A layer of energy strengthened his lungs while drawing in air to fill them up. His muscles tensed once again and this time energy started running through his veins.
Veins bulged all over his body making him look menacing. Seeing this Peter didn't waste any time and launched attacks from all directions using his hidden threads.
The boy, with his newfound strength rushed towards him while dodging each attack with precision. This made the Mr. Simmons's heart tremble.
As he started weaving threads in a unique manner and soon a few weapons made of sharp threads suspended in the air, while the man was covered in sweat.
Gerald was near him in the next second as he was barraged with the weapons all at once. Everyone was holding their breaths in anticipation of the outcome of the battle.
Gerald used his gauntlets to punch through each and every fibers of the weapons and successfully destroyed them.
His skin was turning red as the time passed by. ' with this it should be over.' Gerald thought as he did something that even twins were unable to see.
His body started shining in black light as his fist made its way towards the tall man. Before it could connect the young boy coughed up blood and looked down to see a sword impaling him from the back.
The color of the threads matched the floor slabs. "Not so sharp, n-now are you. Hahaha, the divine metal is now mine." Peter laughed like a maniac as he celebrated his victory, exhaustion was visible on his face.
The crowd roared in celebration.
Gerald removed the sword from his back with difficulty. "You think you can survive that wound." Peter laughed in hoarse voice at his futile effort but did not let his guard down and made his threads attack the boy once again.
'Do your best.' Gerald remembered the voice of a female in his mind like a distant memory.
As the memory flashed past his mind 'Don't worry about me, I am fine. so do your best.' Those words from a sweat voice resounded in his whole being as his aura flared and his upper clothes shredded to pieces and revealed his bare bloody torso as his inner flesh was visible from the wound.
Then the scene changed to the body of woman on the ground naked and her eyes devoid of life. her whole body was covered in scars and white fluids. Blood was dripping out of her vagina covering the floor beneath her. Burning marks of cigarettes' were on her thighs and chest area.
" Ahhhhhhh" the boy shouted at the top of his lungs as he remembered his purpose for bring there.
His black hair started to flutter in the air.
People were shocked at the sight of the blood stopped flowing out of his body.
"I won't fall, not before he dies..."
He mumbled the same words over and over again.
Nearly evading the threads, Gerald appeared beside Peter before he could react to his piercing through the man's chest where his heart was placed like a spear, killing him in an instant.
His body slumped on the ground as the crowd stopped shouting.
After a second a huge wave of cheers erupted from them as they jumped in celebration.
Seeing this scene Keiran and Luna's eyes turned cold as they looked at people celebrating the death of a person.
They were able to sea a fir burning bright in his soul, a fire for revenge.
The injured boy's aura notched down as he returned back to normal.
His steps faltered but he tried to stay straight and walked towards the exit.
"That was the most thrilling first match ever."
Hearing the words of the commentator the crowd's voice increased.
Aiden looked at the whole arena with a confused expression, this was the first time he had seen such cruelty.
Arion looked at his kids expression silently, he wanted to gauge their ability to adapt.
After the first match was concluded, the break was announced before the second match could proceed.
