The dire wolf met the first dire wolf and hit it to the side with its injured claw. The wolf who was hit by the paw was sent flying and hit the wall to their left side. Causing the arena to tremor a little. The wolf died when it hit the wall. The other two wolves approached the dire wolf on both sides and attacked it. The dire wolf smashed the one to its left and was about to hit the one to the right but was stopped when Alex jumped up and hit it with his sword. The sword sliced through the wolf's front paw separating it from the wolf's body. The dire wolf fell to the ground due to the loss of its limb. Enraged it snapped at Alex. Alex barely dodged the wolf's bite and shoved a dagger into the bottom of it's mouth. The dagger went in but it didn't draw any blood. Alex smiled and pushed the button causing hundreds of spikes to pop out all over the dagger. Alex pulled it out as it did that causing a huge wound appearing on it's mouth.
The wolf retracted its mouth and swung at Alex with his paw. Alex knew he would die if struck my the paw directly so he braced himself and blocked with his sword. Alex felt the wind from the paw hitting his face then heard the wolf howl in pain. Alex opened his eyes to see that the last remaining half dire wolf was biting onto the leg of the wolf. It ripped open its skin and was knawing on the rest of the arm. The dire wolf howled in pain once again before grabbing the half breed in its mouth. Closing its mouth directly, blood splattered as the half breed was crushed in his mouth. Alex sighed, 'so much for helping me.'
Alex climbed up the dire wolfs arm and shoved the two daggers into both its eyes and pushed the buttons. He jumped down and as he did, he shoved the sword into the dire wolf's throat using his weight to drag it down opening up the dire wolf's esophagus. The dire wolf let out a low guttural sound and fell over. The remains of the half dire wolf fell out its mouth. Alex sat down immediately and started cultivating. He pulled in all of the elements around him trying to advance to the next one. There were a lot of red particles outside then there were inside. Alex continued to cultivate and recovered enough mana to use the fireball two more time's.
Alex got up when he heard the big gate opening again. He quickly grabbed his two daggers that were stuck in the dire wolf's eyes and wiped them off on its coat. He did the same for his sword and only after cleaning them both did he sheath the daggers. Alex turned towards the big gate and saw a human figure walking out. When it came into view he was shocked to say the least. It was an...…Orc? Its mouth had the two big tusks protruding from it and had two horns coming out of its head but if those were taken away, it would look just like a regular human. As the so called Orc walked out of the gate, it closed behind it. Alex tightened his grip and stepped away from the body of the dire wolf. The Orc noticing its opponent, pulled out a huge cleaver which made a huge "kuthlunk" when it hit the ground
Alex charged at the Orc, holding his sword in one hand and getting ready to cast in his other he was only 5 meters away when the Orc also started to charge at him. The Orc knew that if it wanted to live then it would have to kill this boy. The Orc gave out a war cry and swung its cleaver in an arc at Alex. Alex raised his sword to block it, when the weapons came into contact a huge shockwave was produced. Alex grunted in pain, his opponent was strong. The Orc went to swing again but Alex wasn't going to give it a chance. He cast a fireball trying to aim it at its head. The Orc sensed the danger coming towards it and jumped back as fast as it could but was still hit by the fireball. The fireball blew off the top of his shoulder. The Orc held it and gave a pained look, it nodded to Alex. Alex also nodded subconsciously and they both started to run at each other again and again and again, over and over they fought. Alex swung his sword but was blocked by the cleaver so he drew his dagger and spun around to hit him again but the Orc used his other had to grab the dagger and threw the dagger away. Alex lifted the sword away from the cleaver and quickly swung it in a downward ark But the Orc saw it coming, it blocked with its cleaver and punched out at Alex. Alex barely dodged the fist and threw a fist of his own. The Orc got hit by his fist sending him sliding a few feet clenching his stomach where he got hit.
The Orc looked up just in time to see Alex swinging his sword again. It quickly grabbed its cleaver and tried to block, but due to being caught off guard, the Orc raised his cleaver and Alex's sword came into contact with it resulting in another shockwave. The Orc let go of its cleaver and let out a war cry. It stood up and started throwing fist after fist at Alex. Alex had no time to swing his sword so he let go of it and they started fighting hand to hand. Alex took self defense class when he was in middle school. He wanted to become a bodyguard when he grew up so he had sufficient knowledge in that category. The Orc threw out another punch and Alex slid under it and punched him in the side. The Orc grimaced in pain but ignored it and used his elbow to slam it into Alex's face. Alex saw the elbow incoming and tried to block with his arm but was too late. Alex was slammed into the ground, creating a slight crater as the rocks around his face crumbled a little.
The stadium went quiet and stopped cheering, they were excited by the spectacle of them fighting hand to hand.
"Get up"
No one knew who started it but after someone said that soon the whole stadium was cheering it. The Orc bowed to Alex and started to walk back to the gate. The whole stadium continued to cheer it until one voice sounded like it was louder than all the other's
"Look, he's getting back up"
*Emergency take over activated*
Everyone started screaming in excitement when Alex started to stand up. The orc turned around and started to charge at Alex. This was by far the hardest fight it had ever fought. Alex stood up with emotionless eyes and stood there watching as the Orc got closer. The Orc swung out its fist and Alex dodged and threw out a jab that was twice as powerful as all the other's. The orc groan and sucked in cold air. Alex continued to swing hitting his left shoulder, his stomach, his chest, his right shoulder, and then finally in his face. The orc was sent flying with the last hit and hit the ground rolling a few meters away. Alex didn't give it time to rest and ran towards the Orc, grabbing it by the horns, Alex lifted it off the ground and threw it once again. It flew into the wall creating a sizable crater. Alex's figured flashed and he arrived in front of the Orc, hitting it as hard as it could, its chest imploded and the Orc let out a mouthful of blood. Pinned against the wall, Alex threw a kick, the kick caught the Orc in the neck sending him dragging against the wall for 20 meters before falling off in a bloody heap. It slowly struggled to get up but Alex was still faster. Alex flashed above the Orc and swung down at the Orc.
"Rhenshire uctoron engamina"
Alex's face contorted a little as the fist hit the Orc's face. The Orc's head was blown straight off killing it. The entire stadium resounded with cheers and people were throwing coins and random objects. As Alex was walking back to the middle of the arena to pick back up his sword, the announcer announced.
"Congratulation's Contestant you have reached the 5th level! You can either choose to continue now with a healing pill, or you can spend a week in the cell!"
Alex reached his sword and saw that it had been broken in two pieces. When he checked its stats, its durability had long reached zero. Seems the strength of that orc was nothing to scoff at. Alex stood back up with his emotionless eyes and threw away his broken sword. He went over the grab his dagger off the ground and sheathed it again.
