Mock Tournment III

When Dong Zhou saw that Tank was closing in on him with the giant hammer, he instantly reacted to it by moving sideways to evade the attack, even though he felt his weight had been doubled, his movement was not completely restricted.

-Bzz~

Unstable elemental undulation immediately erupted from the hammer that Tank was wielding. This indicated that the elemental weapon is not receiving enough mana to cover the cost of the user's insufficient strength to wield it.

Tank still had plenty of mana to spare but he was just trying to save up as much mana as possible. At first, he planned to finish the match as fast as possible, however, he never suspected that his opponent would actually have an A-Class elemental weapon, it was even a King-Tier!

Realizing that he could no longer hold back his mana usage otherwise he will risk losing the match, Tank shot up in the air with his hammer hanged all the way behind his back, utilizing more than 40% of his total mana capacity.

-Boom!

Just like last time, the hammer came down like thunder, heating up the air around it and causing a massive invisible shock wave into the surrounding, but this time it was much more powerful and violent.

Thankfully the battle platform had a thin layer of A-Class plate on the surface otherwise the entire platform would have shattered into dust!

Dong Zhou's body shuddered once again as the dominating suppression suddenly increased, he felt that his weight had now tripled from it's original and felt like he could crumble down onto the ground in any second.

Tank once again charged forward with his hammer, so without delay Dong Zhou gritted his teeth and circulate his mana throughout his body, exchanging the necessary power to surpass this pressure that was pulling him down to the ground.

'This...?' Despite after circulating his mana throughout his veins and muscles, he still felt the violent and dominating force nailing him down, still unable to lift take a step.

Seeing that his opponent is frozen in the spot, Tank quickly closes in the distance between the two and slams his hammer toward's Dong Zhou's chest.

'How can I lose in the first match? No! I can not!' Elemental undulation suddenly flared up from Dong Zhou's body and his Will to win the battle became stronger than ever. He clenched his sword tighter and held it flat in the air with both of his hands.

-Boom!

The hammer came down hard on the sword, causing Dong Zhou's to fall on one knee, blood leaking from the side of his mouth, but then the blade of his sword suddenly lit up in bright bluish light and patterns started to fill up the surface of the blade, moving like snakes.

Seconds later, Tank felt an incredible force reflecting back towards his hammer and his body suddenly got pushed back by the incredible force.

-Bleigh!

With the immense force entering his body, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. He looked up at Dong Zhou before glancing at his sword, the bright bluish light seems to have already faded and the pattern can no longer be seen.

Tank was stunned, he didn't expect his opponent to be able to break through the illusion that he created at an immense cost of his mana reserve, not many people are able to break such illusion unless one had a strong Will.

He thought that his opponent had lost the Will to fight long ago.

Not only did his illusion failed, but it unexpectedly backlashes at him by the sword that his opponent was wielding.

'Not good, I have already used up almost half of my mana reserve, even if I used up my entire leftovers, there is no guarantee that the attack won't backlash towards me again like last time.' Tank's pupil dilated as Dong Zhou suddenly lashes forward towards his chest with a sword.

'Damn it...! It all out or nothing!' Tank tightened his grasp on the hammer and circulated of his mana into the weapon.

Sparks of lightning started to form on the surface of the hammer head and the tortoise symbols on either side of the hammer became brighter than ever.

With determination in both of their eyes, the two crash forward into each others.

-Bzz~

Two weapons meet each others with an incredible force and elemental undulation. Dong Zhou's thin yet sturdy sword managed to lock the hammer in place before the hammer reaches his head.

-Boom!

There was a millisecond of silent before the two weapons finally release all their might's against their opponents, causing the two wielder to stagger a couple a meters back from each other.

The battle platform once again became silent, the two competent lock eye to eye with each other. Both had their hands against their chests, trying to hold back the blood that had been built up in their lungs.

-Dong!

Three seconds quickly past and finally Tank lost grip of his hammer, and fell flat on the floor. Blood slowly flow out of the side of his mouth onto the ground like a mini waterfall.
