Chapter 17 One-On-One. 2

Arius stood across from Chuck on the platform while a couple of hundred people watch from the stands.

Arius noticed a medium size wooden sword made out of only wood but covered in grass and flowers that Chuck held on his side.

"Are you ready brat?" Chuck asked while he stood in place.

"Yep, anytime you're ready!" Arius replied while he stretched his small body.

"Are you sure you don't want to use a weapon?" Chuck tilted his head in confusion.

Arius only shook his head while he stared at Chuck who was staring at him. "I don't need a weapon, just attack me already!" Arius stopped stretching and instead provoked Chuck.

"If you really don't want to use a weapon that's on you kiddo." Chuck could only sigh to himself while wondering if this was even ok in the first place. To be honest he was drunk at the time Arius challenged him and he thought he was an adult, not a 5-year-old kid.

A man with blond hair walked to the side of the platform before having his voice resonate across the arena. "Are both fighters ready!?" The man with blond hair asked while looking at the two of them.

Nod.

Arius and Chuck responded in a nod. Both adjusted their bodies into a fighting stance while they waited for the signal to fight.

Seeing both of them nod, the blond-haired man who was the ref of the match began to speak, having his voice resonate across the arena.

"3"

"2"

"1"

"BEGIN!"

Chuck immediately launched his large body forward pulling out his wooden sword intending to end the fight in one move.

Seeing Chuck's body rapidly come closer and closer at a fast paste Arius lifted his hand. "ICE WALL!" A giant ice wall came from beneath the platform blocking Chuck from advancing forward.

Chuck held out his wooden sword and slashed through the ice like it was paper and continued dashing toward Arius who only smiled at the scene.

Arius crouched to the platform and placed both of his hands on the ground. "Ground destruction!" The platform began to shake violently causing Chuck to lose his balance for a couple of seconds before continuing to dash at Arius.

Chuck reached Arius and slashed his wooden sword at his stomach.

"BANG!"

Making contact with Arius's stomach, Chuck looked down at the boy who just stood in place.

"Well kid I have to say you have great magic potential on becoming a high-ranking star mage but today you were far too weak," While Chuck was speaking he felt Arius's hand touch his stomach.

Arius then looked up at Chuck with a smile. Chuck looked into Arius's eyes and knew something was wrong, his danger sense went off rapidly before he could retreat. It was too late.

"BOOM!"

All of a sudden Chuck's body torpedoed backward at lighting speed making his body collide with the wall causing him to cough up a huge amount of blood.

"BOOM!"

The platform, Arena, and guild shook violently from the shockwave of Arius's unknown attack.

Chuck felt like his whole rib cage was destroyed. Placing his hairy hand on his chest he spoke. "Recovery." A green light came out of his hand healing his body at a rapid speed.

Arius didn't attack and instead waited for Chuck to heal himself.

When Chuck was done healing himself he looked over at Arius and smiled. "Kid I have to say you're strong I won't underestimate you anymore I'll take this seriously.

Arius raised his eyebrow in confusion. [I thought this was just a fun match?] he thought to himself.

Chuck pointed his wooden sword toward Arius who looked at him in confusion. "Grass shot!" A deadly sharp leaf that could pierce human flesh shot out of his wooden sword toward Arius at lighting speed.

"Flash step!" Arius's whole body disappeared for a couple of seconds before reappearing in front of Chuck.

Arius aimed his pointer finger at Chuck. "Paralyze" a tiny bolt of lightning erupted out of his pointer finger shooting toward Chuck.

"Grass dome!" A dome of grass and flowers covered Chuck's body in seconds causing the lighting bolt to hit the dome.

Before Arius could cast another spell dozens of grass whips swung toward his body.

"Cloud step!" thousands of tiny clouds appeared around the platform. Arius jumped from cloud to cloud over and over avoiding the grass whips hitting him.

"Flame sword!" A giant sword purely made of purple fire appeared in Arius's hands.

"SLASH, SLASH, SLASH, SLASH."

Arius rapidly swung the flame sword at the grass whips causing them to be burned on contact.

After all the grass whips were destroyed Chuck came out of his grass dome and dashed toward Arius holding a giant wooden spear.

Seeing Chuck dash toward him Arius put both of his hands up. "Poison wave!" A giant cloud of green toxins formed around his hands before slowly spreading around the platform.

Chuck's eyes snapped open while he jumped backward. "Grass dome!" A dome of grass and flowers covered his body in seconds. This time nothing came out of the grass dome.

The poison covered the grass dome. Seeing this Arius quickly dashed forward pulling out his flame sword lifting it above his head and swinging down at the grass dome.

"BOOM!"

The grass dome was destroyed on contact with the pure heat of the flame sword Chuck's whole body slammed into the platform knocking him into darkness.

Silence...

The hundreds of spectators were shocked to their core how could they not Chuck is ranked platinum in the guild making him the strongest present and a kid beat him!

"Bang!"

The medium size silver doors that were the entrance to the arena slammed open to reveal Draco who was sweating like a pig in his black mage outfit. "STOP THE FIGHT!" His voice echoed throughout the arena. f𝐫ee𝘄ℯ𝚋no𝐯𝐞l.c𝘰m

"I think we're too late..." The dark elven woman walked to the side of Draco with a twitching smile wanting to punch everyone here for allowing this to happen.

Everyone present felt a rain pour of sweat running down their bodies when they felt her piercing gaze on them.

"Shit, Elynea is pissed..."
