Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Haunted Mist
"Ha! Listen to yourself, screaming like a woman. You need to man up and face your death with more honor." Keisha said.
"Water" had completely lost his sense of reason, the only words that could leave his mouth were the name of his ultimate technique.
Haunted Mist!!!!!!!
Suddenly the arena was covered in a heavy fog that was too thick to have any visibility. However, Keisha was not impressed by this technique.
"Ha! Do you think this mist will help you win? I'll blow it all away with a single swing of my club!" Keisha said. And it was true, Keisha was capable of dissipating "Water's" mist with a single swing of his mighty club. However, that was not what happened.
As he attempted to swing his club, he saw that his arm had already been severed. Keisha then saw "Water" standing in the mist and grabbed his club with his other hand and smashed him. However, it turned out to just be an illusion made of mist.
Keisha continued to smash away at mist illusions while never actually hitting "Water". Meanwhile water slashes would cut him every time he swung at nothing. Eventually "Water's" attacks completely cut Keisha into pieces, he was declared the winner.
"Man whenever "Water" snaps his power is really off the charts." "Fire" said.
"It's true that his power level skyrocketed after his mask broke, but he didn't gain enough power to win." "Wind" said.
"Huh? What do you mean?" "Fire" asked.
"Keisha should have still been able to overpower "Water". The problem was that he wrote off "Water's" chance of winning after he broke his mask and let his guard down. In other words he kind of just got lucky." "Earth" said.
"Water" was still down in the arena and his mist started to spread into the stands. He was still in a state of total bloodlust and was about to turn his attack on the spectators.
"He's going completely out of control, we need to do something. This is worse than even his match on Earthia." "Wind" said.
As "Wind" was speaking, "War" jumped into the ring to stop "Water".
Bow Form: Arrow Shot!!!
"War's" attack struck him in the face and he fell down to the ground. "War" threw a cloth to cover his face and he calmed down enough for the medics to recover him.
"Hurry and get him to the med bay! Sedate him and get his medication ready!" One of the medics shouted.
The mention of medication got "War's" attention."War" returned to the suite with the rest of the team after "Water" was taken care of.
"While I was down there, one of the medics mentioned "Water" being on medication do you guys know anything about that?" "War" asked.
"Yeah, "Water" takes meds to make sure he doesn't snap like that. I guess he needs to up the dose again." "Fire" replied.
"Something feels off about that. Oh well, I'll have to investigate more later. For now I need to focus on the tournament." "War" thought to himself.
"Alright folks, let's keep it going, coming up extra out of the eastern corner, he stands 8 feet 4 inches tall, weighing in at 714 pounds, he has a record of 1280 wins and zero losses, it's the empire's iron wall, it's… "Earth"!"
"His opponent fighting out of the western corner, this giant stands 9 feet 10 inches tall, weighing in at 1000 pounds, he's making his War Festival debut, it's…."
"Mondi Edito!!!"
Mondi Edito
Age: 45
Ht: 9'10
Wt: 1000 lbs
Special Ability: Giant
"Whoa, I don't think I've ever seen anyone tower over "Earth" like that." "Fire" said.
"Yeah it's unusual to see him be physically out matched, not that it'll make a difference. This match should be quick." "Wind" said.
"I get the feeling that I should let loose a bit in this fight." "Earth" said.
"Do what you want it won't make any difference." Mondi replied. He then activated his ability and he grew from his already massive size to a literal giant. He now towered over the arena and launched a swing of his massive sword down from the skyline towards "Earth".
"I'll have to use something pretty heavy to parry that." "Earth" said.
Great Earth Core Spike!!!!
A colossal spike of stone shot out of the ground and deflected Mondi's sword strike. It then went on to pierce through his abdomen.
"And this should finish it." "Earth" said.
Meteor Impact!!
A massive stone fell from the sky and smashed into Mondi and crushed him into the spike and it pierced him further. Despite being stabbed and crushed from two different directions, Mondi still fought to get out but was ultimately killed by "Earth".
"That guy put up an impressive fight all things considered. But still "Earth" put on an incredible performance." "War" said. "That being said I still get the feeling that he's still hiding his full power. Add that to "Water's" mental state and "Fire's" unknown power, there's still a lot I don't know about my team." He thought.
