Done Playing Around?

''FIGHT!'' the Referee roared, the stadium erupted in cheers while Highland was standing cautiously while looking at the trio of Armya.

''What is the plan?'' Evol asked aloud.

''...'' Slych stayed silent while looking at Rawal

''Just attack,'' Rawal said sternly.

Slych and Evol grinned.

On another side of the arena, the trio of Highland was looking at the trio of Armya warily, waiting for them to make their move.

''I'll go first,'' Evol said and disappeared from his current spot, while appearing 10 meters away from his previous spot, rushing towards Highland with scary speed.

Members of Highland took their fighting stances with their captain Everus in front of them.

''I will handle this!'' Everus roared, Hao and Mante only nodded solemnly.

Evol reached Everus, he did a straight punch, which Everus easily deflected, then Everus reeled in his fist and then punched towards the jaw of Evol, but Evol moved his head backwards, dodging the punch.

Evol smirked and did a low kick towards the shinbone of his opponent, but Everus raised his leg to dodge the kick, Everus then counter-attacked towards Evol and started raining punches, but Evol with a slight smile deflected them all with ease.

Everus raised his eyebrow, then he raised his leg and did a high kick towards the head of Evol, but he ducked the kick and punched towards the abdomen of Everus.

Everus was pushed backwards slightly while feeling slight pain in his abdomen area, Evol smirked and rushed while kicking and punching, mixing them in a very weird manner, Everus was being pushed backwards slightly, while he had weird feeling seeing Evol's martial arts because, at one point, it seemed like Kickboxing, but then it was way different and he doesn't recognize the martial arts he uses.

Hao and Mante were looking at the fight with great concentration, while some sweat dripping from their forehead, they were thinking of helping their Captain, but if they do that, then the rest of Armya members might attack too.

Slych and Rawal were standing calmly with crossed arms, with slight boredom.

Everus punched towards Evol, but Evol dodged the punch and grabbed the arm, Evol then moved behind Everus while still holding Everus' arm, he kept locking the arm tightly.

''?'' Everus widened his eyes, seeing his arm being tightly locked within Evol's hold, and seeing his smirk, he had a very bad feeling.

''You shouldn't have let me catch you..'' Evol muttered and slightly twisted Everus' arm, making him flinch in pain.

[Locking!]

Evol locked the Everus' arm in a very strong hold, Evol could break his arm at any moment.

'Fuck!' Everus screamed internally, he feels that even with slight movement by Evol his arm could be broken.

''Shit!'' Hao screamed and rushed towards Evol, he noticed the incoming Hao, then he twisted the locked arm in his hold, breaking it in process.

*Crack*

''ARFH!'' Everus screamed in agony with bloodshot eyes, he used his right arm to punch towards Evol, which he dodged while jumping backwards.

Evol had a slight smile, but then he noticed Hao rushing next to him with an angry face.

Hao punched towards Evol, but he managed to block it with a nicely timed block, but he wasn't done and did a front kick towards Evol's knee. Evol slightly widened his eyes pulled his leg backwards, but it was slightly too late and Hao managed to hit his shinbone, making Evol slightly grimace in pain.

Rawal noticing Evol being pushed backwards, decided to make his move, he started running from his position and almost reached the place where Hao and Evol were fighting, but before he reached it, he noticed a slight shadow approaching him, he turned to look and saw Mante reaching him.

''GRAAH!'' Mante did his battle cry and punched towards Rawal, he widened his eyes and decided to block the incoming punch.

*Crrkkkk* Rawal was pushed backwards after blocking Mante's powerful punch, but in the aftermath, the tiles were broken below him.

''GRAH!'' Mante cried out and jumped high up in the air, he started descending towards Rawal's figure and punched with all his might towards him.

Rawal widened his eyes slightly, but using his fast movement, he quickly moved out of the way.

*BOOM* Huge crater appeared after Mante punched with all his might towards the floor of the arena.

'I heard he only recently reached Martial Leader.. his physical prowess is already approaching Peak level..' Rawal thought with slight shock. 'I guess he is more of a muscle than a technique kind of guy..'

Rawal decided to take the initiative to attack, he rushed towards Mante who was slightly panting.

'His stamina is bad.' Rawal thought.

Rawal punched towards Mante and it successfully hit the shoulder of Mante, but Mante ignored the pain and did a straight punch towards Rawal, which he easily dodged, Rawal punched multiple times towards Mante's abdomen, successfully contacting each hit.

''Grhhhh!'' Mante was grimacing in pain, he then used his backhand to hit Rawal's head, but Rawal ducked under the backhand and punched towards Mante's jaw, which contacted successfully.

''FIGHT LIKE A MAN!'' Mante roared, he was fuming in anger, seeing that Rawal was playing with him.

Rawal still had his serious look on his face and continued to hit Mante, while easily dodging his attacks.

While this match was heating up, Evol was still fighting Hao, while Everus has retreated further back, while holding his broken arm.

Hao punched, while Evol easily dodged it and counter-attacked with his elbow.

[Elbow!]

Evol attacked with his elbow towards the side of Hao's face, which successfully contacted.

''GRHHH!!'' Hao gritted his teeth while trying to recover from the pain, which Evol's elbow caused.

Evol rushed towards Hao for another round of fighting, Evol increased the speed and strength of his attacks and kept bombing Hao with punches and kicks.

Hao kept being pushed back until he grinned viciously and grabbed Evol's fist which was about to hit his face.

[Bone Break!] Hao uses martial arts called ''Lua'' as ancient Martial Art in Hawaii in Ichiro's previous world. It is Martial Arts mostly used to break bones or dislocate them. Hao twisted Evol's fist, trying to break his arm.

''..Heh,'' Evol smirked, Hao saw the smirk and had a very bad feeling, but ignored it and put his other arm towards Evol's arm's pressure point, trying to break it, but before he could succeed it, Evol smirked and used his right arm to quickly punch the arm Hao used to hold Evol's arm.

[Counter-Attack!] Evol uses martial arts called Silat! It is a very deadly Martial Art, when the master of Silat uses it, he can easily kill his opponent with it, but Evol is still far from that stage, but he used [Counter-Attack] To dislocate Hao's arm, making it unable to hold Evol's arm anymore.

''URGH!'' Hao grimaced in pain and quickly used his right arm to punch Evol face, but Evol easily jumped backwards, dodging the attack.

Hao's left arm was now fully dislocated and he can't use it without injuring himself more.

''FUCK!'' Hao cursed with anger in his tone, he looked at the smiling Evol in front of him and felt his anger rising with each passing second.

''Are you guys done playing around?'' Rawal, Evol, Everus, Hao and Mante heard a voice behind them, which gave a chilling feel to everyone who listened, they turned their heads around to look at Slych, who was calmly standing but with boredom on his face.

Slych sighed softly and took his first step in the entire match, members of Highland had very bad feelings with sweat dripping from their forehead, knowing that the biggest threat is on the move. Slych started walking slowly towards members of Highland, while Evol and Rawal sighed and retreated from their places to meet up with Slych.

''C'mon Slych, can't you let us have some fun?'' Evol said with a resigned sigh.

''This is pointless, I don't want to spend the entire day waiting for you two to finish your matches,'' Slych said, then smirked slightly. ''I will handle them.''

Evol and Rawal shook their head, Slych with a slight grin approached the trio of Highland.

''You don't really think you can handle all three of us by yourself?!'' Everus yelled coldly with slight anger.

''I can,'' Slych said while shrugging his shoulders, trio of Highland felt their anger rise and a slight sense of fear.

''GRAH!'' Mante did his usual battle cry and rushed towards Slych, he reeled in his fist and punched towards Slych.

Slych grinned and easily dodged the slow punch, then he crouched slightly and jumped a few meters in the air and aimed kick towards Mante's head.

[Tomahawk!] Slych slightly spun in the air and did Flying Roundhouse kick towards the head of Mante, which made Mante crash to the ground, his body stayed in the ground without moving, no one knew his current state.

Hao with a grim face started running towards Slych, but before he managed to punch Slych, he saw his figure suddenly disappearing, Hao widened his eyes and sensed a presence behind him, he tried to turn but felt punch contacting his back. he crashed with his head straight to the hard ground of the arena.

Slych looked at the two unconscious members of Highland, then he looked behind him, Everus was standing there with shock on his face with trembling body, his two team members were defeated in instant.

''..Damn..'' Everus muttered and clenched his teeth, he rushed while his left arm was broken, he approached Slych who was still standing calmly, he punched with all his might, he used all of his strength belonging to Middle Martial Leader.

Slych sidestepped to left, dodging the punch with a slight margin, he punched towards Everus' face, which contacted and made Everus' face push backwards, Slych followed with a right uppercut, which made Everus spit a few of his teeth out of his mouth.

Everus grimaced in pain, but Slych continued attacking with each attack being faster and faster until Everus finally was filled with bruised and couldn't handle the attacks anymore and fell down to the hard floor of the arena.

Slych was about to attack again, but Everus as quickly as possible put his arms up, to give a sign of surrender.

''Match over! Winner Armya!'' Referee roared.

*CHEEEEEERS!* Stadium erupted in cheers and everyone looking at the TV was looking with widened eyes.

Slych's strength seemed limitless.

Fighters had no other choice but to feel despair and feel hope being lost, seeing Slych's show of power.
